Van Everest, a hardened criminal or a victim of society?Moses scoffed as he read the headline of the new article posted by The Fisherman. "What the hell is with these two?!" He hated feeling like he was at a dead end, and he had been feeling that way for a while because of the articles. A young man who only wanted to live his life with the woman of his dreams. If only he knew the hard lesson the cruel society had instored for him. As he kept reading, Moses could feel himself getting more angry. He desperately wanted to know the identity of the publisher. In the last article, he posted that Van's ex fiancee regretted her actions and went to seek forgiveness at his wedding, with the hopes that his feelings for her would be rekindled but she was disappointed when she was denied entry into the venue, and she made a fool of herself. Now the new article –which was only a few hours old – claimed that both he and his fiancee, along with their entire families were villains. While Van was

"What did you say?" "Yes. It was very surprising to me at first. I think it was about two weeks ago, I received a call from a really nice sounding man– and young too!-- and he said he was interested in buying my hotel.""Just one guy? That's impossible!""Exactly! Or at least that was what I thought at first too. But then I told him the price I had in mind and the next thing I knew, he had made the payment.""Who is this person?""He said his name was Dev or so. Yes it was. He made the payment at once. I didn't even think there was someone wealthy enough to make a transfer of such a huge amount of money at once. Very impressive, I would like to do business with him again very soon."Moses could hardly believe what he was hearing. The Zion hotel had been in existence for almost ten years, and the owner had always been Ellis Graham. Before he became the owner, the Zion hotel was known as Heaven On Earth hotel and suites, and it was jointly owned by three brothers. The stories goes th

Everyone froze when he said that. Immediately, Van turned to Ivy, he had no idea she had been looking for her parents. It made him feel like an incompetent husband for not knowing something so crucial about the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Chris had a smile on his face. Ivy was hooked, he could see that and he was enjoying it. He mentally gave himself a pat on the shoulder for opting for the background check. "What is he talking about?" Macy was the first to speak. "Mom knows your parents, so why are you looking for them?""No-no. It's not that. See, after my mother passed away, I spent a few years with a nice couple before my grandparents took me in. I haven't seen them since and I was hoping I could find them." She explained. "Well my dear, your search has officially come to an end.""How did you know she was looking for her parents?" Van asked. He knew there was no way Ivy would say something so important about her to Chris, especially since she didn't eve

"Ivy, please just hear me out. I understand how you feel-well no one can truly understand what you're feeling at the moment - but I want to be here for you. Look, I know finding these people is very important to you–""--so why are you trying to get in my way?!""I'm not, I swear! It's just that I don't support this method you're trying to use.""Is this still about Chris? Oh my goodness Van, I already told you not to worry about it. It's not like I'm getting married to him or anything like that!""Okay so why do you keep pushing me away?! I was worried sick about you all day. It's been two whole days and you won't return any of my calls, and all my texts are left unreplied. Ivy, it's not fair." When Ivy told him she intended to pay a visit to her foster parents that Chris had found for her, Van cound hardly believe it. Until she got dressed and left the next morning. "It's not fair? Why won't you at least try to understand what I'm going through. I know it might be hard for you but

"There is absolutely no way that I am getting married to Chris." Ivy refused vehemently. "What? Why not? Aren't you two friends?""Maybe, we might be. But marriage is not in our journey.""How would you know? I say we give him a trial.""We? You're not the one who's going to live with him. Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do but I don't need help in choosing a new husband. I'm vey much satisfied with the one I have at the moment.""Bianca, don't be like this. You should know I would never suggest him if he was a bad person.""No actually, I don't know!" Ivy yelled out in frustration. "Listen, I get that you're tying to act all motherly and stuff, but not in this aspect. Please." Thinking she might have been too harsh, Ivy lowered her voice and added. "I really appreciate you looking out for me, really I do. It's just that Chris and I can't be together. It can't be possible in a million years.""And where is this husband you claim to have?" Sarah had a slight frown on her face
