A bead of sweat coated Ivy's forehead. Suddenly, everywhere became hot and she felt like removing her clothes.The news about her pregnancy came to her as a shock. She didn't think about that. She had been having unprotected sex with Dillon, of course, he was her husband and it's only ideal if they do it raw. "Pregnant? What?" She exclaimed, clutching the bed sheet, dazed. "Yes, ma'am. Congratulations, ma," The doctor shook her hand happily.Ivy stared at the space, without muttering any word and tears streamed down her face. Why did she have to get pregnant now? This is not the right time. "Can I leave now?" She inquired without looking at the doctor. "Yes! Your bills have been cleared by a good Samaritan. Just make sure you come for a check-up every month and antenatal every week," She got off the bed and strode out of the hospital, devastated and confused.It was supposed to be happy news, yet, tears of sadness wouldn't stop streaming. She hailed a taxi and drove straight
Daniel was behind a petite red-haired girl, his huge rock was sliding in and out of her like an expert. Sweats had covered the duo without living the tiniest parts of their bodies. The bed was also moving rhythmically as Daniel jerked into her at a fast pace. Their loud moans filled the room.They were so engrossed in the enjoyable act that they didn't notice that Kayla was also in the room with them.Kayla stood stupefied. Her mouth was agape and her body was frozen. Absent-mindedly, a drop of tears fell from her eyes as she glanced at Daniel. When she noticed, she quickly wiped the tears away with her back palm.No! She wasn't going to allow Daniel to enjoy himself when he has ruined her life. She dashed towards them like a soldier. "To hell with you, Daniel," She yelled. Before they could react, her hands clutched the unknown woman's hair and she pulled it angrily.Daniel was puzzled. He stopped what he was doing immediately and got off the woman. He quickly put on his underwear
The house owner's eyes turned when he heard the voice on the phone, his body trembled and he collapsed onto the ground.Ivy was surprised. She glanced at him with suspicion. The house owner quickly sprang up and dusted his body. "Hey! Hey!! Stop... Stop that," He stuttered, running inside Ivy's apartment and holding the hooligans' hands. The hooligans dropped the mirror they carried and threw him questioning looks. "Don't ask me questions. I don't want to chase her out again," He awkwardly explained. "Ah! But .....," "No buts! She isn't someone who can afford to be on her wrong side. Let's leave now," He whispered in a low tone. The hooligans nodded in understanding and scurried out. The house owner walked out, embarrassed and abashed, he hit his arms shamefully. He released an awkward chuckle, "I am so sorry, Miss Ivy. It's my mistake for coming here to threaten you. Please stay here forever. I will be glad to be your house owner till eternity,"Saying this, he ran off w
Kayla found the doctor's explanation funny and she couldn't help smirking. "Are you trying to be funny?" She asked, looking into his eyes. "I am not. It's our new policy, Miss Hughes. We just need someone to take responsibility in case something bad happens," He calmly explained to her but she wasn't having it. "Your new policy? It's your new policy but you didn't deem it fit to let me know the last time I came here," She raised her voice, getting annoyed. "Calm down, Miss Hughes. The new policy started today and we have to follow it," "What!" Her gaze lowered and she blinked her eyes subsequently.She placed her hands on the table and giggled, "Why are you teasing me? I am not in the mood for that. Can you just get this thing out of my stomach? I will play as much as you want immediately after we are done," She mumbled, not believing the doctor was serious. "I am sorry but there is nothing I can do to help you. Your boyfriend has to be here," "But I don't have a boyfrie
"New York"Helen walked into Dillon's house and met him playing games on his phone. To her, it was surprising because the business lord is always busy with work and doesn't have time to play games.Ever since she arrived from the business trip with Ezekiel, she has been swamped with work and hasn't created time to see her boss. Though, it felt strange that he hadn't put a call across knowing she was already in New York. "Good morning, boss," She greeted, lowering her head respectfully. Dillon halted what he was doing, raised his head, and stared at Helen for some minutes before he suddenly grinned happily. "Good morning, Helen," He answered in a childish tone.Helen's eyebrows twitched but she quickly regained her usual stoic expression. She presumed she heard wrong. "I am so sorry I haven't been at work lately. I was caught up with something ....," Before she could end her statement, Dillon simply replied, "Okay," and he continued what he was doing, smiling sheepishly at the p
"Australia"Ivy opened her eyes slowly and her heart skipped when she saw the man holding her. She instantly regained her posture and pushed him. "Hey! Godwin!" She exclaimed, wiping imaginary sweat off her forehead.Godwin tucked one of his hands in his back pocket and waved the other in her face. "Ivy! I got you here," He happily let out.Godwin Austin was Ivy's senior in the entertainment industry. He was one of the country's favorite actors and they'd met on many occasions, making them know a bit, if not a lot about one another. "Ah... Yeah!" Ivy answered hesitantly, rubbing her creased brows with a squeezed face. She wasn't really interested in the reason Godwin was in Australia. He was a big actor after all and maybe this was just one of his usual trips or tours. "What happened? Why do you look so shocked? Why are you here? Where's President Dillon? I am sure he must be somewhere near. Take me to him," He snatched her right hand while flinging questions at her, and was re
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
