Elizabeth hurried out of Philip's office in excitement after the call to return back to hers for work. Leaving the couple alone to themselves, Ivy was ready to implement her next plan.
Now that she had her man alone with her, it was the best time to question him using every trick she had. She drew closer to him and sat beside him, leaning herself towards him to rest her head on his chest. The man welcomed her in and caroused her hair gently.“How have you been?” He asked her, hoping to catch up with her on her recent activities.“Not bad. Still running my biz as much as I can.” She answered him.“And how is that going?”Her hand gently moved through his chest as she responded to his ask,“I've got some influencing deals and endorsement deals as well. I'm becoming a big deal in the industry now, you know. The recent poll ranked my top 10, can you imagine?”“No, I can't. But top 30, that I can very believe.” Philip answered heHer words got to him, not now with his present condition would she want to leave him,“You can't do that, Vy. Not now, come on.” He expressed his frustration to her concerning her intentions to leave him hanging like that.Gesturing with his hands, he asked her how she wanted his cock to act now that it was fully awake and wasn't going back to sleep anytime soon.“I don't know, pleasure yourself but you dare not call anyone here.” She answered him and walked towards the door to leave. With her hand on the door handle, she unlocked it and was about to open the door to make her exit, he halted her.“What do you want, then?” He asked her, panting heavily at his present condition and the frustration that came with it.Facing the door, she smiled as she heard him conceding to her game. However, she decided to hold back a little since she already had the upper hand.“Nothing, I just want to leave. I've got 30 million people waiting for
Arriving at the mansion, they stared at it for a while, it was their childhood memories flooding their minds like a tsunami. All the fun they had in this mansion, all the celebrations and parties at certain events such as their birthdays, Christmas, etc., they could remember them all.They hugged each other and sobbed to the painful reflection of how much they missed their real home and family.“Hi, ladies. Welcome back home.” The lady who stood at the entrance welcomed them. She was there to receive them.“They didn't miss us enough to come out and welcome us themselves,” Ivy said with anger over their parents’ attitude as they wiped off the tears from their eyes.Sonia reached out to the lady and shook her hand,“Thank you,” she paused for a minute and looked at her properly, “I know you, from…” she jerked her brain to remember where she recognised the lady from.“Paris. At the auction.” The lady answered her before her memory could fully recall.“We didn't get your name that night,
They carried on with the Barnes family reunion dinner and they ate and made chatters. Their mother, Gloria Barnes couldn't keep it any longer, she probed into Ivy's unusual demeanour. Her father noticed but chose to ignore it for the time being.“What is, Ivy? You don't seem happy at all.” She asked but Ivy remained silent. Ivy was rash and impulsive, she never missed the opportunity to say what was on her mind so she wasn't good at pretending or faking her feelings about anything. This same attitude had made a significant impact both good and bad on her social media career. She had launched outbursts at other celebrities and then it becomes a feud between them until it finally died off. Most of her followers loved her for it.To her mum's inquest into her state of unhappiness, she kept silent, choosing not to say anything.Her father, Justin Barnes, couldn't remain quiet anymore since his wife already pricked up the matter. So he hopped in to join his wife's inquiries.“Yes, honey.
In all of Ivy's outbursts, their father remained silent, not saying a word to her. He took in everything she said, realising how right she was and how wrong they were to have treated their daughters that way. But they had their reasons, they were working for something bigger than just the four of them. However, putting their secretive agenda ahead of their family was a terrible decision they made.The heat in the room had risen really high to Ivy's outburst and everyone felt it. They all quieted down for a while, her parents remained seated at the dining table but Sonia was with Ivy on the balcony where she was absorbing some fresh air to cool her off.Their parents began to whisper with each other in the dining, muffling words in arguments.“I'll have to tell them the truth,” Justin Barnes said to his wife but she vehemently kicked against it.“No. No, no, no,” she shook her head in swift disagreement, “We can't do that, Justin. Especially, not now.” She said to him.Mr. Barnes had s
Mr. Barnes's instructions to Lisa were executed excellently as she hit Sonia with a slap to her face.“What the fuck?!” Ivy exclaimed, “How dare you?” She bashed at her father.SLAP! Another slap swung from Lisa and this time it landed on Ivy's face. The girls were left in shock and pain, they had never expected their father to be this cruel and wicked towards them. But the lingering question in their mind was, ‘What did we do wrong?’“Now you girls will sit down here obediently and listen to me, and any attempts at disobedience, Lisa and her team will make sure it never repeats itself.” Mr. Barnes warned them sternly.The girls quietly rose back to their feet and made for their seats, still holding on to their faces that were hit with Lisa's slaps. They sat down close to each other, feeling hated by their father for his brutal actions on them.“I will not tolerate your disrespect of any kind in this house and otherwise. You shut your mouths and listen attentively to me, and speak on
The tension heightened in the room, it was hot as volcanic rocks and so also was the silence brewing as the girls quietly processed the heartbreaking revelation they were just fed.Mr. Barnes was done with the revelation and went straight to his next agenda, to the reason why they came.“Now, to the assignment given to you girls, you'll tell me everything and everything you know. And might I add to it, should you lie to me, then your parents would pay the price for it.”The girls were caught in the middle of this man's games, all they could think of was to be done with him and go on to make whatever meaning they could out of this whole chaos. Probably go back to their parents to confront them and then live their lives as they see fit.“Bella is legit, she is working on her own and has no ties with Damon. We both confirmed from our connections as you asked us to, using every technique possible and they gave us the truth.” Sonia answered on behalf of them both.“And you believe them?” M
Once they were cleared and certain that they weren't bugged, they now had to face the next situation which was concerning their next course of action.They remained quiet for a while as they thought through the whole situation.“We are fucked on all sides, sis.” Ivy spoke up, considering the nature of the circumstances they were stuck in, “And Dad is…I mean, Mr. Barnes…fuck!” She yelled out her frustrations.The thought of Mr. Barnes not being their father shattered her mind again as she felt robbed, heartbroken, and betrayed.“I know, Vy. We're going to scale through.” Sonia consoled her.“But what if Joyce rats us out? We can't even call our real parents to confront them about the truth. How do we break free from the shackles?” Ivy plunged into tears again with the frustrations she felt from everything.“Well, we'll have to come out clear with the truth to Damon and probably he will be able to protect us and our parents.” Sonia jotted as their only possible option for escape.“But w
“Fuck!” Ivy exclaimed almost out of the room as they entered. Sonia was also surprised by the lady they saw but she composed herself enough to not let it show.Sonia held Ivy back to make sure she didn't fall out of character and make things look suspicious.“Isn't that the bitch from Dad's…I mean Mr. Barnes's mansion?” Ivy asked her sister like she needed to confirm the identity of the lady again, “Lisa Brown.”Sonia whispered in her ear to keep her in the game,“Yes, she's the one but get yourself together, you don't want to raise questions.” Sonia said to her.“Ladies!” Elizabeth called out to them, “You're welcome, darling.” She said to them as they walked towards her and the other ladies.“Britney, oh my God!” Sonia exclaimed as she hugged their celebrity icon, “It's a pleasure meeting you. I'm a huge fan, girl.” She expressed her excitement to her.“Thanks, love. The honour is mine,” Britney Stone answered her back. Ivy also went on to greet and hug Britney, excitement pouring
