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,"
Dillon raised his hands to hit Ivy but luckily, Daniel walked in at the moment and quickly grabbed his hands, halting him from smacking her.Before Dillon could react, Daniel threw a punch at his face. He staggered and slumped onto the couch. "I think I need to teach you how to treat a woman," Daniel commented while massaging his fist and neck. He dashed toward Dillon, snatched his collar, and punched him again in his face. "She is your wife for goodness sake. Your legally married wife. How can you treat your woman like some sort of punching bag?" Another punch.Jessica blinked her eyes, shocked and startled. She sneered inwardly, pissed at the way Daniel came to disrupt her plans.She rushed to where they were and held Daniel's shoulders. "Please stop, Dan. He isn't as strong as you for now. Please don't injure him,"Daniel halted, hanging his fist in the air. He turned his head and glanced at Jessica. While looking at her, all he could see was a snake and a pretender. It was st
Kayla hissed angrily when she saw Dillon's mother. She got up from Mirabel, removed her pair of heels, and threw them at Dillon's mother.The pair of heels hit her forehead and nose and she fell on the stairs because of dizziness. "Nice throw," Daniel praised, clapping his hands impressively. "What have you done?" Dillon's voice rang from the stairs. His eyes were emitting fireballs and he looked like he might turn into a dragon and burn Kayla up with his fire. "Oh! Mr. Puppy. I have been expecting you to come out," She dusted her hands and placed them on her waist fearlessly. Daniel was amazed by her brave side. At that moment, she looked like a pretty fearless warrior who was ready to defend the world. "I fell for the right girl after all," He licked his lips. A spark of happiness flashed across his eyes. "Are you crazy? Do you want to die?" "Silly! Even if I want to die, I refuse to die at the hands of a sick dementia patient like you," She yelled back. Only if she co
Ivy stood, transfixed and unshakeable. The last time she was with these two was at the mall when Dillon wanted to get some clothes for her.Seeing them in Australia was surprising and the suspecting part was that they looked thinner than they were in New York. "Evelyn Desmond!" "Ivy Hughes!" They both called in unison. Silence overtook afterward.Ryan broke the silence with his laughter. "Fantastic! Ivy Hughes in Australia? Oh! Did you bring your rich and powerful boyfriend to come and chase us from here again?" Ryan Austin, Ivy's ex-boyfriend who betrayed her with her best friend, sarcastically muttered with shock.Ivy chuckled, and although surprised to see them, she was able to put on an expressionless face. No one could read her emotions at that point. "What do you mean?" She raised a question. "This asshole still has the nerve to feign innocence in my present," Evelyn, her best friend, dashed toward her, ready to lunge at her.Ryan snatched her hands with alacrity, s
Ezekiel glanced at the message and his puzzled countenance shifted into a smile. He started the car and zoomed off excitedly.*Australia* Ivy woke up the next day with a bang on her door. She hissed and got up lazily. "Who the hell are these people?" She grumbled, scratching her head with her eyes still closed.She opened the door and was met with a surprising sight. Evelyn and her husband were standing in front of her door, not smiling.With folded arms and opened eyes, she muttered, "It's too early, guys. I have gone through enough in New York. All I want to do is rest," She sounded as if she was cajoling them and was about to shut her door, however, Evelyn held the door, stopping her from closing the door. "Well, you should have thought about that before hitting me yesterday. Police! Arrest her," Evelyn shouted and two policemen appeared. "You have to follow us to the station," One of them said rudely. "What! She fucking attacked me first," She defended, shocked. "Lia
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
