"Ladies and gentlemen, Empire Airline welcomes you to New York. The local time is 11 am. For your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle clear until we are parked at the gate," The flight attendants announced, and slowly the airplane landed.It wasn't easy for Ivy to get out of the plane with her triplets but with the help of a stranger who volunteered to help her push one of the babies' trolleys, she was able to get out of the airport.She stood outside the airport, shut her eyes, and inhaled the cold and fresh air. "Time flies but nothing has changed. New York is just the same as she had left. The only thing that changed was her, she left with nothing but came back with three beautiful kids," She chortled, satisfied by her kind of growth. She glanced at her babies one after another before stopping a cab.It took a while to put the kids into the cab and then fold their trolleys into the cab's van. Surprising
Kayla was just lulling her baby to sleep when an incoming call came in. She picked it up at the third ring. "Hello!" She spoke up. "Your voice didn't change," Ivy said at the other end, smiling. "Please who....," Kayla halted when she finally recognized the voice. She glanced at her phone screen and returned it to her ear. "Ivy!" She called, hoping it was really her sister. "You should learn to put some respect next time, Kayla. I am still your...,"Kayla hung up angrily before she could complete her statement.She flung her phone to the bed and sat on it, breathing uneasily.Tears welled up in her eyes. Ivy's call came in again almost immediately. "Where are you?" Kayla asked as soon as she picked it up. "Hmm! Dillon's mansion," She answered and before you could add another statement, Kayla hung up.*. *. *Kayla jumped on Ivy when she got to Dillon's house. The sisters cried together for a long time until they were calm. Afterward, Ivy explained everything that happened and
"I am voting against them," A voice interrupted the meeting.Everyone tilted their head toward the entrance. The sounds of footsteps were the only thing they heard before they finally saw his face. It was Dillon.Mirabel and Dillon's mother almost fainted when they saw him. He didn't look like the man they'd been inflicting suffering on. He was wearing a green tuxedo and black Italian shoes. All the shareholders, except Mirabel and Dillon's mother all stood up and bowed respectfully and humbly. "Good morning, President Dillon!" Dillon gestured to them to sit, smilingly and he also took his seat.He fixed his eyes on Mirabel and his mother, who were unable to look at him. They lowered their heads in shame and disgust. "Did I miss anything apart from the voting?" He asked, flashing a cute smile. "No, sir," "Alright, in the absence of nothing. The meeting will be adjourned. Thank you for taking the time to come here today. Please grab something on your way out," He said as
"I have been poisoning Ivy since she stepped into the house and today is the poison's effective day," Mrs. Long revealed, stunning everyone in the room. "What!" Everyone exclaimed, even Mirabel. She was aware of how vicious she was but had never thought she could go this extreme.Mrs. Long burst into a peal of wicked laughter, clapping her hands. It will be so stupid of you to think I will go down alone. "Hospital! Take Ivy to the hospital now," Kayla shouted.The moment she shouted, Ivy lost consciousness and sprawled on the cold floor. "Wow!!! Just as predicted," Mrs. Long said, rolling her eyes in a lackadaisical manner. She brought out a gum from her pocket and chewed it loudly.Dillon couldn't believe his eyes. He stormed toward Mrs. Long and slapped her so hard. Afterward, he grabbed her cloth and dragged her up with it. "I will make sure you die a sorrowful death if anything happens to Ivy," He threatened, boiling with fury. Mrs. Long chuckled and muttered fearle
Ivy Hughes "Praise my soul, the king of heaven," The cathedral choir sang as I prepared to walk down the aisle. I furrowed my brows uncomfortably because that wasn't the hymn I chose for the bride's procession. I paid little attention to it and assumed there must have been a mix up. I will be getting married to my best friend today. I stepped out of a red range rover with my wedding dress stung on my body like I was born with it. The dress was designed by a popular designer and it costs a fortune. Many thanks to my soon-to-be husband, Ryan, I was able to look elegant on my wedding day. The man I will be tying the knot to is one of the A-list actors in New York. I am also an actress but hardly recognized by anyone. I will be deceiving myself if I classify myself as a D-list actor. My grade is lower than that. "Where is Evelyn?" I asked my sister, Kayla.Evelyn is my best friend and my bridesmaid. She left the hotel we lodged last night because of an emergency and hasn't arrived
Ivy HughesThe sounds of the bustles in the kitchen made me open my eyes weakly. I tried to sit up but a heavy headache sent me back.I had cried until midnight, it would be impossible to wake up hale and hearty. It was a habit to always keep a jug of water and a cup beside the bed. Fortunately, it was helpful. I poured myself a glass of water and emptied it in three chugs. I must have paid no attention to my thirst yesterday. "Ivy, are you awake?"Kayla shouted. I could hear footsteps coming closer to my bedroom. I jumped out of bed and dashed into the bathroom. I don't want her to see my swollen face. "Are you in the bathroom?" She asked when she didn't meet me in the room. "Hmm... yeah. I will join you after having a quick bath," There was a brief silence and she left the room afterward. I sighed after hearing the bang of the door.My face was all swollen in the mirror. I must have really lost it yesterday. "Yesterday... yeah... yesterday... Who was the man from yeste
Dillon LongI have been restless ever since I got married to an unknown woman yesterday. I couldn't concentrate even when I got to work from the church. I instructed my personal assistant never to mention what happened to my family, especially my mother. She is going to create a fuss if she learns I got married to a random woman. "Send everything about her to my phone in the next 20 minutes. I want to know from the smallest and meaningless information," I instructed before strolling into my house. Ezekiel has been my personal assistant since I joined the HORSE group as their CEO and he has been faithful. He is computer literate and a professional researcher. Looking for that woman was a simple task to him.My phone beeped and lit up before I finished removing my clothes. "I trust him," I mumbled. A cute smile appeared at the corner of my lips.I picked it up and read the message on it. "Ivy Hughes. A graduate of theater art and an upcoming actress. 23 years old, an orphan
They knocked on the door again. This time, it was harder.Kayla heaved, rolled her eyes, and let the door wide open.Ryan and Evelyn were standing at the door, looking gorgeous and happy as a couple.Ivy became stiff when her eyes landed on them. Different emotions were in her eyes but that of betrayal was more vivid. Her inner man was telling her to run inside her bedroom however, she was curious. She wanted to know what she did wrong to deserve what they did. "Are you sure you haven't knocked on the wrong door?" Kayla asked, folding her arms. Anger was swelling within her and she shut her hands tightly, trying to control her anger.The couple pushed her aside instead of responding to her question, they walked majestically into the room and stopped in front of Ivy.Ivy shut her eyes and opened them almost immediately, she raised her head slowly and put on a bright smile. She was pretending to be happy. She didn't want them to see themselves as winners. "Oh! The latest couple is
