Ivan was called by Lucy's father. He had to drop his ego and call him."Hello," Ivan said."Ivan, please, I need you at my house as soon as possible. It is very urgent."There was silence at the other end of the call. "Why do you need me?" Ivan asked."Please, just come over and hear me out. This is a matter of life and death."Ivan may have been angry at someone, but when it involves life and death, he will surely want to help."What happened?" Ivan inquired."Please, just come over. Lucy is in critical condition. We have tried calling her, but she is not responding."Ivan ended the call and rushed to get his car keys. He drove like a madman and hurried to their house.He still remembered his ex-in-laws' house. When he parked in front of the house, he didn't even bother to switch off the car engine before rushing inside."Where is she?" Ivan asked urgently."Oh, you're here. Come with me," Lucy's father replied.Ivan followed the man as he led him to the room where Lucy had locked he

Ivan could not think straight all through the flight home. He was scared, fear like he had never felt before. When he received that call from Elijah, he stopped drinking and threw some clothes on. He called his men to ready his plane that he needed to go home. Mary offered that she would come with him, and of course she wants taking no for an answer. They finally got to the airport. He sighed, he walked towards the car that Elijah sent for him. Elijah disappointed until he also told him that he did the same thing to Rachel and this did not happen. Ivan felt so guilty, apart from the pain of knowing that he actually cheated on her, she had to go through the pain from her tummy hurting. I checked the time, it has been seven hours and the last time I talked to Elijah he told me that she was asleep. Thankfully the man have her something to use. To avoid the pain. How was he going to face when he saw her? He kept on asking himself that question, he knew how good it felt to sink into t

Ivan stared at the alcohol in his hands. For the last few weeks, this has been solace. Alcohol and sleeping. Elijah tried his best to bring him out if this horrible shell, cause according to him. He has never seen Ivan this way but Ivan was too far gone. He didn't see any use of being normal again. The only woman he wanted in the world didn't want him and there was nothing he could do about it. The office has been calling him for a while now but Elijah has been taking care if things basically because Ivan was not in the right state of mind to do anything. If he as much as answered a phone call fr the office, he could explode all over the phone so it was better for him to just stay indoors and not see anyone. It has been three weeks and he had not seen Isabell. He had not heard her voice or touched her. This has been the most they've been separated for each other since they got married, it fell in love. He could not sleep without getting drunk. He thought getting high on drugs but E

Today was finally the day.The day that Ivan mustered the courage to go and check in on his children. Mary had been telling him that they said they missed him, and he also missed them too, but he had been avoiding going there even after the conversation he had with Elijah days ago. He didn't want them to see him the way he was. The pack members had also been complaining about rogues, but Elijah had taken care of that. He was proud that he had a friend he could trust when things were bad.He looked at himself in the mirror. He looked like a monster, and he was a monster. It was only a monster that would hurt the woman they loved like that, nobody else. He accepted the role wholeheartedly. He was forced to wear a suit and look presentable. He also decided that he wasn't going to shave off the beard. Even though Elijah persuaded him and tried to tell him the different things he looked like so he could persuade him to shave it off, he was not ready to shave anything off.His chain was han

“What do you mean she showed up at Isabelle's place?” Ivan asked angrily, bewildered that Lucy had the audacity to go and meet his wife.He started wondering if the message he had passed to her was not clear enough. If it wasn't clear enough, then he should do something about it. How dare she? He had already made up his mind to stop bothering Isabelle. He understood that cheating was unforgivable to her, and he had cheated, so it was time for him to let her move on. But he had to apologize to her for the nonsense that the woman brought to her house.“Yes, Rachel told me, and I was wondering why she would show up. Apparently, she didn't know that you had already told Isabelle about your affair. So her plan was to come and tell her, hoping that you two would separate because of it.”In his mind, Ivan felt relieved. He imagined what would have happened if he hadn't found the courage to tell Isabelle about it, and then this woman came all the way to destroy his marriage. Isabelle would ha
