Ivy's sobs increased when Godwin pulled her into a hug. Without uttering a word, he rubbed her back in a gentle manner, trying to make her calm. "I don't deserve everything Dillon did. Even if he's sick, he was supposed to remember me and not those two witches. What did I do to deserve all these?" She lamented amidst tears and Godwin hummed, acknowledging her statement. An hour later, Ivy drifted off to sleep while hugging him and he gently picked her up in a bridal style and took her to her bedroom. He placed her on the bed and covered her body with a quilt. Thereafter, he placed a soft kiss on her forehead before stepping out of the room.As soon as he stepped out of her apartment, he rushed into Evelyn's apartment. Evelyn and Ryan weren't expecting him so they were astonished to see him. "A....," Godwin threw a knife at Evelyn suddenly, making her statement hang abruptly. She shut her eyes and expectantly waited for the knife to pierce into her skin. However, the knife passed
Kayla opened her eyes slowly and realized her hands and legs had been tied to the chair. She shook her body, trying to break free from the clutch but it was futile.Her heart skipped when she remembered the dream she just had. She was scared the dream might come true. "Hello! Who's there? I need help. Help me," She shouted, making an effort to escape.After shouting countlessly, the door opened. A man walked in, he was putting on a sky-blue shirt and a deep blue jacket. His face was defined and cute. He had a skinny collarbone but it only completed his good look. Two men who looked like his bodyguards also followed behind.And he walked toward Kayla. As soon as he stopped in front of Kayla, his scent of cinnamon hovered across her nose and she couldn't resist inhaling his scent.He glanced at her and slowly his lips curled in an ambiguous smile.Strangely, Kayla's body froze at his smile. She was having a bad precondition that something was about to happen. And it was something unfo
MJ stood over Daniel as he grunted on the floor, but all his thoughts were consumed by the safety of Kayla, who was helplessly tied to a chair, forced to witness the horrifying occurrence. With a calculated move, MJ placed one of his legs on Daniel's body, exerting dominance. He gestured to his men, raising his hand, and one of them brought forth an iron rod.The atmosphere in the warehouse was thick with tension as MJ took hold of the rod, his gaze fixed on Daniel, who lay defenseless beneath him. The sound of metal scraping against the concrete floor echoed through the vast space, intertwining with Kayla's terrified screams. MJ's eyes locked with Kayla's, a sinister smile playing on his lips as he approached her with an air of superiority. With a harsh grip on her cheek, he held her face captive, forcing her to meet his gaze. His voice dripped with menace as he taunted her."Baby girl, it seems you don't know who I really am. Mind if I give you a history lesson?" MJ's words were lac
New York.The van that was conveying Daniel stopped in front of a dilapidated building. His trusted men jumped out of the van and quickly opened the door, helping the already tired Kayla out.Kayla's brow twitched when she saw the building. She looked around and turned toward Daniel's right-hand man, Iron who had beaten himself ten thousand times inwardly. Without Kayla saying anything, he knew she was about to ask him a question. He bowed respectfully and explained, "MJ is one of his greatest enemies and might still come to harm him if we take him to a popular hospital,"Even if she wanted to retort, she had no choice but to agree with them. She nodded as a signal for them to take him in.She followed suit. To her greatest surprise, the building only looked dilapidated outside, it was neat and new when they walked into the hospital.A group of doctors came to receive them as soon as they stepped in. "We will take him from here. Please wait here," The head doctor informed, puttin
MJ's eyes were almost removed from the socket when he saw Dillon. He was dressed casually and looked pale. "Boss!?" He called, more like a question. Dillon patted his shoulders twice and smiled. "Welcome back to New York, Johnson. I have been anticipating this day. I knew this day would come," Dillon happily let out. "Boss!" MJ called again, speechless. He was finding no right words. "Thank God you didn't kill my friend. It would have been a different story," Dillon continued, ignoring the puzzled look on his face.MJ only nodded. Just when he was about to say something. Dillon walked to the door. "I can't stay long here. My wife will be angry. Let's meet later," Saying this, he left the room.He was already gone when MJ regained his senses and by the time he could chase after him, he couldn't find him. Dillon left without any traces. MJ went back to his room frustrated. He pushed the wall and yelled.He has been looking for his favorite boss since he came back to New Y
8 months later.AustraliaThe sun shone brightly in the sky. The atmosphere was cool, unlike other days when everyone has to put on cardigans.Ivy was 9 months gone and her EDD (expected date of delivery) was the following week and she couldn't stop smiling.Finally! She would be meeting her bundle of joy after so many months of loneliness. She would have someone to talk to when bored and someone to complain to whenever she's fatigued.She sat by the window, glancing at the wonderful work of creation.She glanced at her belly which was now protruding and her lips curled into a wide smile.However, the smile froze when she saw Evelyn and Ryan coming out of their apartment.They also halted when their eyes met.Evelyn threw her deadly glare, hissed, and marched past.Ivy was not bothered by their hateful behavior. Instead, she was anticipating her delivery day. She can't wait to meet her beautiful princess. Yes, the scan confirmed she was carrying a baby girl.Nevertheless, to her surpr
New York Daniel scrutinized his friend, although he discovered some changes, he didn't say anything.He threw a bright smile at him. "Hey! Brother. Finally, you decided to come to see me," Daniel happily let out, hugging him tightly. "Hmm! My bad! You know how hectic our work can be," Dillon lied. "Work??? But you weren't at the company. It's almost a year since you last went to the company," Daniel muttered. He intentionally mentioned that so that he could monitor Mirabel's reaction. His eyes were fixed on her while he was making that statement. As expected, she frowned at the statement but she was quick to cover it up with her sly smile.Daniel scoffed inwardly. "Let's see how well you can play this game," He mentally mumbled. "Ah! I was working from home. The people at work already know what to do," Dillon tried to cover up.Seeing how his friend was lying to cover Mirabel's misdeed, Daniel stopped pestering him.The friends went out to continue their discussion while Kayl
"Evelyn! Please bring Barley here," Ivy shouted from the living room.It's been 6 months since she gave birth to her babies. They were two girls and a boy, so they were named Barley, Kylie, and Hayley. "Okay, Ivy. I want to put Kylie and Hayley to bed first," Evelyn shouted from the bedroom. "Okay! Okay!! Be fast with it. The drama is about to be aired and it would be bad if you miss the final episodes," Evelyn walked out of the bedroom with Barley in her hands. She sat beside Ivy and gently gave him to her. "This boy keeps looking like his father as each day passes," Evelyn said.Ivy nodded in agreement and forced out a smile. Evelyn could see the sadness in her eyes at the mention of Dillon.She knew how much she missed him and longed for him.She wrapped her arm around her shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile. "Things will fall in place soon,"The noon news aired as soon as Evelyn made the statement. "The popular Dillon Long, the richest and most powerful man in Ne
