Ivan sighed helplessly and sat still for a while, staring at the outfit he was holding. After a minute of contemplation, he stood up, deciding to wash his face and get dressed.

He had promised Evelyn he would come, and he couldn't go back on his word. No matter the situation, he was a man of principle.

As he was about to head to the kitchen to wash his face, he noticed Lucy coming downstairs. This time, she wore a short strapless black dress that accentuated her curves. Her posture exuded confidence, and the dress added a touch of style to her appearance.

The plunging neckline revealed a hint of her cleavage, and she paired the dress with strappy heels that elongated her legs, showcasing their beauty. Her black hair flowed down her shoulders in free waves, and her makeup accentuated her natural beauty.

Lucy caught Ivan's gaze and gave him a captivating smile, pretending not to notice his attention.

However, Ivan wasn't as captivated as she believed. Despite his disdain for Lucy, he co

    "Will you let me talk?" Ivan asked angrily, and Lucy remained silent, realizing that she seemed to have misunderstood him. However, she was not remorseful; she simply wanted to hear what Ivan had to say.Ivan clenched his teeth to control his anger. He couldn't lose his temper because he needed Lucy to agree with his request first."Just so you know, you're wrong. I didn't stop you to ask for a ride at all, so don't be delusional. Since we'll be attending the class gathering together, I just want to tell you to behave yourself. Let's pretend we don't know each other, as if it's been so long since we've seen each other, as if we're not leaving together in the first place.""Just ignore me and do your own thing. I'll do the same. Unless you have to talk to me because you're told to, don't talk to me at all. We'll go there separately, so no one will find anything suspicious or know that we're related or were once in a relationship or anything like that.""So, let's maintain that. Don't t

    Ivan was mesmerized by the dazzling display of cars in front of the hotel. He stood rooted in the same spot for a while, unsure if he should walk forward or not.He hesitated and decided to call Evelyn when he heard someone call his name."Ivan!"He looked around to search for the person who called his name. Not long after, he spotted a white figure standing in front of the hotel, waving her hands enthusiastically towards him with an enchanting smile on her face.Ivan couldn't help but marvel at her beauty. She was beautiful inside and out, and even Ivan couldn't deny it. Her beauty was different from Lucy's. It was unknown if the two women had talked because they were both wearing opposing colors of gowns.She had a slender figure, with a willow-like waist shaped like a decanter. Her burnished skin glowed under the street lights.A pair of curved eyebrows peered down on long eyelashes. Her delicate ears framed a button nose, and a set of stunning, angel-like white teeth gleamed as sh

    With how mysteriously Evelyn was behaving, Ivan had already guessed who she was talking about, but he pretended as if he did not know anything."Who are we waiting for? Who could make our class monitor wait like this? I can't remember someone like that," Ivan said, and Evelyn smiled."It's someone that you know very well, and I'm sure you'll be very surprised when you see the person," Evelyn said before playfully sticking out her lips like a naughty kid, making Ivan shake his head in helplessness and amusement.Ivan smiled calmly and stood behind Evelyn so that they could wait together."You are still as beautiful as ever," Ivan suddenly complimented her. He wasn't being sarcastic, nor was he saying it for any particular reason. He just felt that he should compliment her because he hadn't done so earlier.Evelyn was startled and couldn't react in time. But when she realized what he had just said, she quickly averted her gaze from him, and her cheek turned crimson like an overcooked sh

    "Damn, Lucy, it's been so long. You look more beautiful than before. I'm so envious. You're doing so well now. I want to be like you," Evelyn yelled excitedly. But Lucy pushed her away, rather harshly."You will dirty my gown," she said simply and brought out a white handkerchief from her small bag to wipe her dress.Her face showed annoyance at being hugged, and when she looked at Evelyn again, there was a slight disgust in her eyes.Lucy's reaction made Evelyn stiffen, and her countenance turned rigid. She was unable to regain her composure for a while and stood still.Ivan cursed Lucy inwardly when he saw how Evelyn became awkward because of what Lucy had done. He cleared his throat and spoke up. Evelyn was the one wearing white, so she was the one who was supposed to be in Lucy's position, avoiding hugs so that her gown wouldn't get dirty. He knew that Lucy was just looking for trouble."Evelyn, you hugged her too tightly. It will wrinkle her dress," he said, and Evelyn finally ca

    Two beautiful women of different beauty stood at the entrance of the hotel with a handsome guy beside them. It was enough to attract the attention of the people passing by and those entering or leaving the hotel.Evelyn was as pure and saintly as a lily. She exuded a clean and fresh aura that mesmerized onlookers and even gave some men the urge to do anything for her.Her innocent and charming face was without makeup. She looked childish and elegant, like a white swan. Her white neck showed her confidence in herself.Lucy was completely different.If Evelyn looked like a white lily, then Lucy looked like a red rose—tempting and seductive. The kind that would make a guy's heart race in anticipation and eagerness.Her makeup was meticulously done, and her lips were red and luscious, almost dripping. It made people want to taste the sweetness. Unlike the naive-looking Evelyn, who made people want to pamper and protect her, Lucy made men lustful.One was innocent and naive, while the othe

    Lucy attempted to get their attention, but the predominantly female crowd seemed more interested in the opposite sex, showing admiration for those of the same gender.When Lucy realized that no one was looking at her, but rather at Ivan and Evelyn, she stomped her heels on the tiled floor, creating a clanking sound that finally caught their attention."Look, it's Lucy," exclaimed Alex, a guy with a pointed nose who used to admire Lucy. He had noticed her as soon as she entered the room, but he was too busy admiring her curves to speak up until he regained his senses.As soon as he shouted, everyone turned their attention to Lucy and gasped at the bag and glistening wristwatch she carried."Damn, Lucy is even more... mature.""Hiss, she's so hot. She looks completely different from when we were in high school.""She has more curves now.""Am I the only one who noticed her expensive-looking bag?""And that gold wristwatch, who knows about accessories?"They all gasped and murmured among

    They all ignored Lucy and continued chatting."You? Do you think you can compare to Ivan? You better stop dreaming.""Look at him talking about being handsome, hilarious.""Don't mind him, but damn, I can't stop laughing, hahaha."Ben had previously been hurt and embarrassed by what Lucy had said earlier, but when he heard how the others turned it into a joke, he regained his vigor and started laughing along with them."I am a refined gentleman," he joked with a straight face, and the ladies in the room giggled in sync."Refined? With your double chin? Stop joking.""If you're a refined gentleman, then how should we describe Ivan?"The ladies playfully mocked him, and laughter filled the room."No matter how handsome you are, you can't use your face to get a job, can you? So, it's all for nothing. Without a good family background and connections, you amount to nothing, no matter how handsome or intelligent you are," Alex said sourly, his face darkening.

    "You don't know anything. What I am wearing is a Gucci G-frame watch, and it is very expensive. I got it for $990, and I am sure that none of you here can afford it, even if you work hard for a lifetime."Everyone gasped when they heard the ridiculous price of just a single wristwatch. They could not imagine how expensive the bag could be.Although they felt uncomfortable by the contemptuous and disdainful gaze directed towards them by Lucy, the shock when they heard the astronomical price of the wristwatch.To them, the wristwatch was so expensive that they would never be able to afford it, no matter how hard they worked. It was just like Lucy had said, but the way she said it made them feel uncomfortable. Still, they could not explain, especially when they saw how rich Lucy was.Some of them were already thinking that Lucy had a Sugar Daddy, but none of them dared to speak it out loud."Oh my god, Lucy, you are so rich now.

Isabel and Rachel were both immensely tired.“I'm stressed; I need to go to a spa.”“Well, you can add that to the list of what we have to do tomorrow,” Rachel told her, and she nodded.“I really do not like being stressed out. It messes with my brain,” Isabel complained.“I wonder how your husband is coping. To be very honest, you're lazy. You can't even do any hard work for like three hours straight.”“Now, why would I want to do hard work for three hours? I was not made for stress; it's why I have my very loving husband that understands me,” Isabel said, and Rachel laughed.“Well, that's good because if your husband was not Ivan, I wonder what you'd have shown him. The people around you need to be very patient people,” Rachel told her, and she nodded.“That's why I have you, Chelsea, Elijah, and Richard. You all love me so much that it's suffocating,”

That's how you'd have forgotten about it. It's important, you know,” Rachel told her.“I'm sorry, I've just been so stressed out, and now you're putting me through a hardcore workout,” she told him.“You need these every morning, you know, so you'll have a clear mind,” Rachel told her.“Clear mind how? I'm so stressed right now, and I can barely think, so please, there's no way I'm having a clear mind with this torture,” she groaned, and Rachel just laughed.“Now come on, it's important to keep fit.

Ivan used to be so confident; he asked if he could hold me earlier after the panic attack,” she told her, and be nodded.“I understand that bit; you just need to be there for him. He needs you this time; make sure you don't let anything happen to him. It's the time to be there for him,” she told her, and Isabel nodded.“I know, I know. I just hope he gets better soon. The panic attack was so deadly to watch; I've never seen him have one. The way he clawed at his throat, Rachel, I don't think I want to see that again. It seemed like he wanted to die, and it drove me insane. I can't bear to see him die, you know,” Isabel told her, and she nodded.“I understand; don't worry.

    “Where the heck have you been, Isabel?” Elijah screamed at her on her way back to the office. Everybody stared at them due to how loud his voice was.“Don't you ever shout at me like that again,” Isabel warned him, and he still looked panicked.“I'm sorry, but everybody has been looking for you.”“Why? I was in Rachel's office; you know that's where I go most of the time.”“Darn it, it's Ivan,” Elijah said as they both got into the elevator.“What's wrong with him?” She asked hurriedly.“He's having those panic attacks again; it's worse this time around. I'm not comfortable leaving him but I was about to go to the announcement room and call your names through the speakers,” Elijah told her, and her own heart dropped.Why was he having these panic attacks? The elevator was not going fast enough; she kept staring at the numbers. She was burning inside, and when the elevator finally opened, she ran out. The people on the floor looked at her, but she didn't care.The man she loved was in

    The moment Rachel got to the office, she was greeted by different people, and they complimented her dress. She smiled and felt happy; she liked dressing nicely and being complimented by people. It made her feel good. She quickly made her way to her office to start her work for the day. She had a lot of things to do, and because she didn't come to work yesterday, she knew she had to catch up on a lot of things today.She remembered her night with Dante and smiled as she entered her office. Maybe things were finally starting to be okay for her and Dante. Maybe they could do this after all, but she still didn't know what would happen. She knew that his father was so against the idea, so even if her own parents agreed, she wasn't sure his own father would allow it. She didn't know what to do, and she didn't want to think about it, so she resumed work immediately. She needed to catch up on things.

She didn't want to think about anything; she just wanted to continue being in the arms of the man she loved. She burrowed into his arms, but it felt empty. She immediately opened her eyes and looked beside her, only to find an empty space."Dante?" she called out, met with eerie silence. She sighed in disappointment, realizing that he was gone. She had expected him to still be there, and perhaps they could have talked some more. But she kept forgetting that he was a busy man and didn't always have time for what she wanted to do. Although she knew that if she told him she wanted him to stay, he would do so without hesitation, without thinking twice. And she loved him for that.She finally admitted to herself that she was in love with him. She thought as she plopped back down on the bed. She should probably have toda

She had achieved a lot at her age, and living in a cramped house was simply her choice. She could have easily afforded a penthouse for herself, given her hard work and the trust fund that would set her up for life. However, she wasn't lazy; she wanted to work hard and establish a trust fund for her future children as well. She had already started planning and saving for the children she would have, and the amount of money involved was not insignificant. She had clear goals that she wanted to achieve. For now, she knew that she simply wanted children. She didn't desire much more, just like her parents. Whether they came as twins or individually, she wanted kids. As for a husband, she couldn't envision herself with anyone other than Dante. She thought about it constantly, and he was the only person she could imagine being with.
