"Ivy, I–""Don't! Don't even Lucas." It had been three days since the issue with her mother came out and she had been giving Lucas the silent treatment… and it was driving him crazy."Look, I know how bad this looks, and I know that telling you I did it to protect you definitely won't be enough–""So? What excuse do you have to give then? Tell me!" Ivy demanded angrily."I am sorry, truly I am. It's just that–""How long?" She asked, staring at nothing in particular."What?""How long have you known?""Look, nothing was certain alright? All I had was the words of Grover's mouth and now we can't even trust anything that man–""Don't fuck around with me Lucas, you know what I am asking, you know what I want to hear. How long have you suspected my mother?!""Not too long after I met Grover." His answer was low but it was loud enough to make an impact in Ivy's heart."Oh my God." She put her hand over her mouth to stop herself from crying. "So… so you have been lying to me since… since th
"Hello kelly, did you miss me?"She felt her heartbeat slow down so much that she felt it had stopped completely. She feared this day would come, she just didn't know it would be this fast.She slowly rose to her feet, her legs trembling with fright. "Wh..what…what are you doing here?" She did her best to sound bold but her unsteady voice betrayed her."I missed your birthday, so I thought I'd stop by and give you my gift in person." He smiled at her, an action that only sent chills down her spine."Pl…ple…please…" her voice quavered as she tried to speak. "Don't hurt me." She whispered as she slowly backed away from him. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Tears were starting to flow down her face as she realized that there was no escape for her. "Please, I'll do anything." She pleaded, even though she knew they were falling on deaf ears."No, no no no. You don't have to apologize for anything, after you left that day, I was so impressed. I said to myself, there goes one audacious young woman

"I'm waiting." Ivy demanded, her patience was wearing thin and she couldn't hide it much longer. Her parents had summoned her and Lucas over to their place for a supposed urgent meeting and they had been there for close to thirty minutes, and still haven't heard anything."Ivy, can't you see that your mother is in pain here?" Her father asked, looking concerned."I'm sorry if I didn't notice, it's just that I have some really important matters I need to attend to as well.""More important than your own brother? Or have you forgotten that he's still in the custody of Marco Platana?""No father, I haven't forgotten. In fact, Lucas and I are working on a way to get him out of there… wherever he is." That part was a lie. Sure, she didn't forget that Marco had kidnapped her brother but she was too busy worrying about Lucas to think about anything else. Besides, she couldn't do what her mother was asking her to."Tell me, how do you plan on rescuing my son?" Blanche finally spoke. "I want t

"Do you think I was bluffing when I told you that Ivy was the ransom for Peter's release?""No, of course not. It's just that it is easier said than done.""Really now? Did you also forget about the bonus you get once I get what I want?""How can I possibly forget that? We're working on it, please try to be more patient. You know how stubborn Ivy can be, I am trying my best to convince her to do what you want.""I don't have any more time!! I am done being patient with you. You have twenty four hours. If I don't get Ivy, then you can say goodbye to your son… forbwer."After Marco hung up, Blanche collapsed in their sofa. "I am sick and tired of Ivy." She complained. "I don't know why my own daughter would be so cruel to me." She wasn't talking to anyone in particular because she was alone in the room.Getting up from the chair, she marched angrily to the bar and poured herself a glass of wine. "I have got to do something about this." She gulped down the liquid in one long sip and and
Ivy opened her eyes slowly, she felt weak and her arms were starting to hurt. She was tied to a wooden chair and she was in a slightly dark room. She couldn't see anytning, except for a table by her right and a door to the far left of the room. She heard footsteps and she closed her eyes."Are you awake Ivy?"She felt her stomach turn as she heard the voice of the man she had grown to hate with passion. She opened her eyes to find Marco staring at her, his face closer than Ivy appreciated."Son of a bitch, I should have known it was you.""Yes, it was me." He replied happily. He had his stupid stuck up smile on his ugly face and a lit cigarette in his mouth. "When I woke up this morning, I just remembered you and I was like… how can a woman treat me this way? I'm rich, I'm handsome so what could you say the problem was? You know, when I first met Blanche, your mother… I thought she was just one of those pushovers you know, those women who always loved to be the star of every show. A
