A few Days Later.Ivy held Dillon's hands and was glancing at him unblinkingly. She was on a movie set when she received a call that her husband had been admitted to a hospital. However, something seemed fishy because the hospital refused to tell her what happened to him that got him to the hospital.And she couldn't think much because Dillon never informed her before going to his mother's house.It has been four days since she had been staying in the hospital with him. Although the doctor told her he was out of danger, he hadn't opened his eyes.Truthfully, she was scared. She had thought of many possibilities of Dillon never opening his eyes.She was jerked out of her thoughts when she felt some motions. She blinked her eyes twice and saw Dillon awake and moving his eyes around the hospital. "Dillon! You are finally awake," She let out happily. She quickly stood up and helped him up. Afterward, she poured a glass of water and handed it over to him.Dillon received it and emptied t
Ivy was about to shut her eyes to savor the moment when she felt a strong hold on her shoulders. Before she could assimilate what was happening, Dillon pushed her away. She struggled to keep her balance to avoid slipping but it was all futile. She stumbled and fell to the hard floor. Although Mirabel and Jessica were shocked, they were quick to reveal malicious smiles.Ivy sat on the floor and tears fell from her eyes with her lips clenched. "You are indeed what they say you are," Dillon spoke up. His hoarse voice rang in the room.Ivy was confused, her eyelids twitched as she tried to comprehend what might have gone wrong. Yet, she couldn't. "What have I done?"To stop Dillon from talking, Mirabel got up and hugged him from the back. She kissed his neck and placed her jaw on his shoulder. "Don't stress yourself over her, husband. You are aware that you are still weak," She feigned to be worried. Her tiny voice was filled with concern.Dillon nodded and went back to sit with
"I will pounce on you and crush you to death if you finish that despicable statement," Jessica, Dillon's mother, threatened, walking fiercely to the roadside.For some unknown reason, Ivy's heart skipped when she saw her.Daniel didn't show a sign of fear, he tucked his hands in his pocket, turned, and beamed sarcastically. "Ivy doesn't need to say anything. I am sure you have a hand in whatever that might have happened to him,"Jessica scanned him from head to toe and retracted her gaze, uninterested. "You heard what my son said. He doesn't want you and so I want you to pack the dirt you called clothes out of his house,"Ivy scoffed sadly. She bit her lower lips and defensively stood in front of Jessica. "My Dillon will never ask me to vacate our matrimonial home," "Ivy!" Jessica called, widening her eyes and trembling because of the anger that was igniting within her. "Until then, enjoy while it lasts because your game ends when Dillon gets better and I will never
Ivy got tired of waiting for Kayla in the guest room and decided to visit the garden.However, she met something else as soon as she closed the door behind her.She was two figures behind the door, kissing unhurriedly. When she glanced at the figures carefully, she discovered they were Kayla and Daniel. She was shocked and enraged. So Kayla had been seeing Daniel and didn't deem it fit to let her know. When did they start hiding things from each other? "What's happening here?" Her voice was loud and it echoed in the living room.Her voice was like a jolting motion for the duo that was making out because Kayla regained her senses as soon as she heard her sister's voice and pushed Daniel away. "Si... Si... Sister," She called, awkward and embarrassed.Ivy stared at the pair one after the other, unblinking. Her mouth was broadened in astonishment. "Daniel! Kayla??" She pointed at them.Daniel flashed a wide grin at her and strolled back into his study, nonchalant. Kayla was no l
Dillon scurried toward Mirabel and Ivy. "How dare you!" He mumbled. "Kpaak!" The sound of a slap echoed in the living room.Mirabel, who thought her secrets had been unveiled, opened her eyes slowly while holding her cheeks. She gasped out of shock when she saw Ivy holding her face. Dillon slapped Ivy! "How dare you step your feet into my house? Are you fearless? Do you have a death wish?" He blasted, exasperated.Ivy raised her head, her face was covered with tears. Pains and anguish were visible in her reddened eyes. "You slapped me, Dillon!" She asked with a shaky and croaky voice. Her lips were trembling and the tears were falling without obstruction. "And I am going to repeat it if you don't take your filthy body out of my house," He threatened, pointing at the exit.The more he gets to see Ivy, the more his hatred for her increases. Hearing his mother narrate everything he had done to her because of Ivy made him infuriated. He hated himself but he hated Ivy more.

Sexual content is in this chapter. * Flashback * When Ivy hugged Kayla and secretly wiped the drop of tears from her eyes, Kayla saw everything but pretended she never did.Ivy was her sister, she knew what she looked like when she was troubled and she knew she loves taking care of her issues alone. She wasn't going to allow that. She hailed a taxi and asked the driver to secretly follow the cab she boarded until they got to Dillon's estate.She got down, paid the driver and she stealthily trailed Ivy until she got home.Seeing she had gotten home without a problem, she decided to go home, however, she halted when she heard her sister's voice. She tiptoed to the window and there, she saw everything. Without wasting much time, she dialed Daniel's number and begged him to come and help Ivy out.That was the explanation of how Daniel was able to protect Ivy from Dillon's clutch.* Flashback ends* Kayla pulled Daniel into a hug as soon as he stepped out of his car. "Thank yo
The Next Day'Mrs. Godfrey squeezed her face as she opened her eyes slowly. She glanced around her and when she realized she was by the roadside, she huffed and sprang up. "What the hell am I doing here?" She asked rhetorically. Passersby were already stopping to ask if she needed help. That was an embarrassing moment for her.She hit her forehead and stood up from the ground where she had slept till morning. She took her bag and hurriedly left the scene. "This is so disgraceful. That stupid man," Her face became stern and emotionless. Then her mind shifted back to the night before. "Last night"Mrs. Godfrey almost fainted when she saw the tall man who looked like a giant. Her legs weakened and she fell to the floor. "Who are you? Why are you here? Who sent you here?" The man bombarded her with questions. She was nervous and confused, she didn't know the best one to answer the queries. "I... Er... I...," She forced a sweet smile out of her lips, dipped her hand into her handb
"Marry me!" Daniel proposed in a simple manner.Kayla blinked her eyes and scoffed. "Are you mad?" She asked. "Am I mad?" He clicked his tongue, "No!" "Do you think marriage is just something you can jump into?" "Of course, people get married so that they could fuck each other," He winked and blew a kiss at her. "Ewww! Shameless," Kayla let out, tilting her head backward and throwing him a disgusting stare. "So?? What are you saying?" "Mr. Carter, I think you are getting something wrong here. You took advantage of my condition last night, so you should take responsibility instead," She accused, flashing a smile. Before he could respond, she beat him to it, "But don't worry. I am not going to ask you to take responsibility. Let's just pretend something like that never happened between us and move on," Saying this, she stormed out.Daniel was in a daze as she left the room. She was smarter than he thought. " Just wait and watch, you will be mine, little pumpkin,"
