Ivy did not like Alex's face when she opened the door for him. She had stayed awake all through the night expecting his return. She even went out of her way to make dinner for both of them even when he told her not to. She did not care because she knew that it made her happy to do all these for him.

But his face made her think twice about her actions. "Is everything okay?" She asked as he avoided her and walked inside.

"Yeah, can I get a glass of water please?" Alex asked calmly as he took a seat on his couch.

"Sure," the girl responded and rushed to the fridge to bring his water. After giving him the glass, she stood by his side as he down the entire glass of water and handed the glass back to her.

"Thank you." He said and leaned into the couch. Ivy took the glass and returned it to the kitchen counter. When she came back, she saw his eyes closed and his face worried, but he wasn't sleeping.

"Alex what's wrong? What happened there?" He asked.

"Well, I don't actually know where

    Ivy staggered as she heard the news. She never thought it would run so deep or hurt so badly and she was amazed to see it do. "What did you say?" She asked after a while of silent. Alex had allowed her to stay quiet. He never said a single word to her and he tried his best to not allow his emotions to show on his face but he was sure that he was doing a terrible job already because when Ivy looked at him, somehow her eyes welled up with more sadness in them. "Alex, what did you just say to me?" She asked again. Her voice was still coming out as a whisper. If Alex was not sure before of how she felt about him, he became sure immediately he heard her voice. It sounded so sad and so much filled with sorrow."I said that I am in love with someone else," he repeated himself and watched as tears formed in her eyes. She sniffled, fighting back the tears that wanted to fall and looked at him in sadness. "who is she?" She finally asked and Alex wondered where she got the strength from. He

    Alex knew her body well and he wanted to explore it but he was also a man that knew how to control himself. He took his hand off her boobs and stood up from the bed."Go and get dressed, Ivy," he said with a hint of finality ending all thoughts of anything sexual happening between him and her in her head. He could see the disappointment on her face but he knew that one day, she would be thanking him for what he did. "Fine," Ivy said with disappointment written all over her face. She walked into the bathroom and Alex heaved a sigh of relief. The woman did not look that upset with him and he knew that he would have to be careful with the words that he said around her. It would take just a little thing to provoke her and he did not want that to happen. Ivy came out few minutes later, dressed in her night gown that wasn't revealing in any way. She had tried to keep everything hidden and Alex could only hope that the look of her beautiful skin would not make him want her again. "You ca

    Ivy was shocked. She had never seen Alex that angry before and she never thought that she would ever see him that upset. She did not know who this person was but she could tell that the woman had a very strong grip on him and had him feeling things she could not understand. "Okay, calm down," Ivy said as she sat upright. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pass that frustration to you but it's just really annoying to have to endure all of these feelings." "Why? Haven't you felt this way before?" She asked. "The last time I felt this way, it was for a woman that did not even deserve it. Somehow, I just end up choosing the wrong people all the time. My last girlfriend, she left me because I was broke and she went to an old man who could give her money." "Are you serious? I'm so sorry you had to go through that." Ivy apologized."Well it was really painful. I know I tried to act macho and I fooled some people to believe that I wasn't hurt but I was. I was deeply hurt and I don't think that

    "Good morning handsome," Alex was awoken by the sweet sound made by Ivy's melodic voice. She did not even try to hide her excitement of waking up next to him and Alex loved the feeling as well. He wasn't romantically attracted to her but he did care for her like he would a sister. After all, she did everything in her power to ensure that he was okay and strong, it was only fair that he showed her the same care that she did to him. "Is everything okay? You are not saying a word!" Ivy asked when he laid in bed silently. "Nothing. I just never thought we would get to the point of being this close." "How do you mean?" "Well you are lying next to me in bed and I don't have this overwhelming zeal to push you off. I just never thought it would come to be." "Does it make you happy or sad that it's like this?" She asked. "It makes me happy," Alex said with a soft look in his eyes and for the first time, Ivy felt a strange surge of emotions running through her. She had never felt that wa

    Alex stepped into his company and he was met with a tensed atmosphere. Everyone looked at him as if they had been waiting for his arrival and he suddenly did not know why they all came to work so early. It wasn't even 8am and it seemed like everyone that his company had ever employed were in the office. Including Aurora. He saw her walk towards him when he entered the building and she kept taking slow steps towards him as if she was weary to walk hastily and get him upset. Alex gave one look in her direction before he turned and walked towards the elevator. He did not need to tell Andres to try and keep the woman away from him. Andres was observant enough and he knew how to restrain her when she got too close. Alex heard the commotion coming from them behind him and he wondered if she had seriously expected that she would be given the opportunity to just talk to him after what she had done. He did not even try to say anything about what she did. He did not even answer her when she

    Alex saw his door opening and he noticed as Natalie walked in with a sad look on her face. "It's not true, is it?" She asked before even greeting."Well first you will sit down and then ask me how I am doing before jumping to what you just said. Afte all, I thought we were actually family..isn't family supposed to care about one another?" Alex asked with a smile on his face. "Alex come on now. This is not the time to be joking around. I just heard some very disatrous news and I would really love for you to tell me that it's not true. Please tell me that this is not what is supposed to happen. Please tell me that this did not happen. " She pleaded. "Well for you to have heard about it, then that means that it obviously did happen." "What is the actual meaning of this now? I thought this happened before. How come it happened again?" Alex looked up from his laptop slowly. He did not say a single word, he just sat and looked at Natalie. He knew the woman had not spent that much with

    "What did you do?" Natalie asked as soon as he ended the call. "I did what was needed and I would really appreciate it if you did not question me on this matter." "Well someone needs to talk you out of this nonsense you want to do. Do you have any idea how much the company will lose if you give out those properties at a 30% discount?!" She raged. "And do you have any idea how much we would lose if we start giving them a refund and lose them as clients?!" "None of them is asking for a refund and none of them will. Look, right now we can't afford to lose this amount of money during this period!" "Can you listen to yourself talk? It is very obvious that you don't understand how this game works so why don't you just leave it for me, okay? I believe you have some things that you want to do right?""Yeah, and one of them is to talk you out of this stupid decision. And don't you talk to me like I am stupid!" She said standing up and staring down at him. "Alex!" Damien came in just in t

    Alex's blood ran cold as he stared at the message in front of him. He could not believe that Nancy could actually be the one behind everything. Immediately, he found a way to jiggle out of his woman embrace and went to the kitchen to make a call. As soon as he entered, he saw his men watching a football game and he immediately told them to lowered the volume of it. "What's going on?" Hayden asked as he lowered the volume of the game. "I need to make a call." "No, what you need to do is to cuddle Ivy while she sleeps " Dustin said, standing up an walking towards him. "She is already fast asleep. Trust me. This is equally as important." He said as he placed a call to the commissioner. "Commissioner, talk to me, what is actually going on?" Alex asked. "Exactly what I sent to you." He said. "Who did this test?" "Trust me sir. We are not lukewarm and incompetent over here. I had that test done by people who actually know what they are doing and for it to come out this way, it mean

    Alex's sat down. He knew that whatever he was about to say would have to be received while sitting. He feared for the very worst and hoped that the young man would not be saying anything that would lead to him being more Disturbed than he already was. "Damien, what is it?" He asked. "Before I answer that question I need to ask. Have you guys gotten Ivy? Is she okay?" He asked again. "Well yes. She is. We have gotten a hold of her and she is currently in the hospital receiving some treatments. Damien, what the hell is going on?" He asked. "Well, first, you will need to find a way to calm down. But after you guys left, I called Cole and I had him do some digging around about the letter." "Okay and what is going on with the letter?" He asked. "Well, we found out some very striking things that I think needs to be addressed. He took samples and he was quick to run them by an illegal lab that he knows so that we could get immediate results. We did and you would never believe who is be

    "Doctor, what is it?" Alex asked, not sure if he really wanted to know the answer to that question. He struggled within himself but he knew that he had to know exactly what was going on and he could not run from the truth forever. "Well, Mr. Albert, nothing is wrong with her. She just has some broken ribs that we will need to correct because if we don't, it could lead to something more drastic." "Okay then fine. Go ahead and correct it," Alex said as he heaved a sigh of relief. "Why then was your face like that? You had me worried you know." "Well my face has to be like this because most of her bones have been broken and even though we have not done am x-ray scan on her yet, we are positive that this may just be across her entire body. And you know how long it takes for bone to heal." Alex understood. Ivy would have to go through another set of pains. "doctor, as long as it is something that can be fixed and you know how to fix it, I will say that you do not bother yourself and ju

    Alex could not believe what he was actually seeing. His woman was finally free. He saw a man carrying her out from the building and he brought her to the truck. Immediately they had gotten inside, Alex was the first to run to her and he immediately wrapped her in his arms. "Ivy," he said as he released as breath of air. Finally he could breath as he saw his woman and he was assured that she was safe. She felt too cold to touch and Alex could only imagine all the things she had to go through while she was in the arms of those men and ladies. He could only wish that none of those men had so much as touched her because if they did, he was not going to hesitate to actually drive a stake through their hearts. "Alex," she said softly as she almost collapsed into his arms. She took in the warmth of his presence and held as tightly as she could to not lose the sanity that his presence brought to her. "I'm so sorry," he said as he held her. "I am so sorry that I allowed this to happen to

    The drive there was a fast one. Alex did not care about traffic. All he wanted was to get to the warehouse on time and ensure that Ivy was okay. "You can slow down now, we are almost there." Andres said but still, Alex did not bother to listen. He kept going at high speed wanting nothing more than to reach Ivy without the blink of an eye. Suddenly, he turned into an abandoned road filled with potholes. "Okay you really need to slow down now. You can't be driving at such speed on a road like this you know. You are going to wreck this car." "Oh calm down already. Nothing will happen to the car," Alex said ignoring him as he kept driving. Soon he reached a lonely path. "We should walk on our feet here." Andres suggested "Why? The road is wide enough to be driven on." "Yes it is but with the way you are going, you will definitely get all of us killed. We need to be subtle and if you haven't noticed, you are driving at an enormous speed right now. So the best option is for us to wa

    The time on the wall read 7:15pm and Alex looked out to see that it was dark. Alex could not rest, he kept pacing around and Andres did not bother to tell him to rest. He understood what the man was going through. Anxiety, worry, panic. It was to be expected. After all, the love of his life was stuck in a bad place and he had to do nothing else but sit and worry all day. He could not even go to help her. "Are you sure that we should not go to her? I mean come on now. How sure are you that those your guys will be able to handle this all by themselves? What if they mess everything up? You know that I will hold you responsible if anything should happen right?" Alex finally said after a long time of keeping mute. "Yes I know that I will be held responsible and I will take full responsibility if it gets to that but right now sir, the best thing that we can do is allow these men to do their job. I can assure you they are well trained and they know what they are doing. They won't mess it

    Alex knocked on his door and Dustin opened to see a very distressed looking man. "What happened?" He asked as Alex walked into the house, followed by Andres. "Those bitches called again." Alex answered as he went into his kitchen to get himself a cup of water. "And what did they say?" He asked. "Well they did not say anything good other than the fact that this is going out of hand and that they know my family is in town." Hayden laughed as he heard Alex finish talking and the man did not get what was so funny. "Okay what are you laughing at right now?" He asked. "Well that is not the truth right. You don't have a family so you obviously fooled them." He said still laughing but stopped along the way as realized that Alex was not laughing with him. "What is it?" He asked again. "It's not funny because I do have a family. " *What?" Hayden excalimed. "How come you have a family and yet I have never heard of this family before. What the hell is that?" He asked in outrage but Alex

    "Why are you doing this?" Ivy asked as she ate the food in a haste. She did not even know that she was hungry. She imagined she must have gone for close to two days without food nor water. Her energy was drained and the only thing she was working on was the adrenaline to get out of whatever mess she had found herself in alive. "Well what can I say? I took pity on you and I knew that Davina had not given you something to eat or drink. I feel like it's very cruel. I mean after all, we are not after you. You are not the bad guy here, you just happened to be a little bit stuck in between a cross fire." "Is that how you want to describe it?!" Ivy asked as she finished her meal."What other way is there to actually describe something like this?" She asked. "Well you guys would have just served your time and gotten out of prison as free women. What do you think is going to happen if Alex does not decide to go through with your plan." "Are you serious?" Rebecca said as she turned to look

    Rebecca heaved a sigh as she watched her being dragged out of the room. She would have never believed that she would have to do something like that to the girl but the truth was that she was slowly losing her mind and what she did would benefit both of them. She knew very well that Alex was not the kind of man for them to double cross and if she tried to hurt Ivy or worse, if she actually went through with killing the girl. Alex would go to great heights to ensure that we are locked up in a place that the sun never shines. Rebecca did not know much about her but she could tell that she wanted to live her life and not be subjected to having to hide. To achieve that, then she would have to not allow her to do what she planned on doing. "I can't actually believe this girl," she muttered under her breath as she massaged her head. She was stressed out and wished that she will just hear the good news already so that she could Ivy free and also walk away as a free woman. She craved to go
