Tarquin relaxed back on the door looking at Ivy who was now restless. She quickly avoided his eyes as she looked away. "He is home, we are about to have dinner," Ivy replied. She heard Mrs. Caroline sigh in relief over the phone. "I thought he didn't go back home with you and had disobeyed me," Mrs Caroline said, getting Ivy confused. "Was there any time he didn't want to go back home with her?" Ivy thought. "Besides he didn't go home with her and left in the middle of the road," she thought to herself. "Alright, enjoy your dinner. I will come to your wedding party," Mrs. Caroline said and ended the call. "Wedding party?" Ivy wanted to ask but the call had already ended. She remembered Tarquin, who was still at the door of the room. He was looking intently at her. She was still feeling uncomfortable but didn't know what to do next. She adjusted her pajamas and decided to head downstairs to have dinner and at least breathe, she couldn't stand the sight of him. She wondered how
Ivy woke up with a stretch before opening her eyes, she looked around her surroundings like she had forgotten about it. She was spread out on the bed and the sheets were entwined and rough so was her hair when she touched it. She stood up and headed to the bedroom to wash her face. She had slept soundly unlike how she thought she would, she thought Tarquin was going to ask her to sleep in a different room or sleep on the couch or possibly on the ground. As she thought about this, she wondered where he had slept, she didn't find him in the room when she opened her eyes. Maybe he slept out or slept in a different room she thought but at the same time, she recalled him coming into the bedroom which had quickly driven her to sleep because she couldn't face him. Ivy sighed and stared at the reflection of her face in the mirror. Yesterday was crazy. She concluded and looked at her bandaged hand. "Was that how she was going to live the next 365 days of her life?" Under his dos and don't
"Mom!" Ivy called, startled to see Mrs Caroline as she approached them. It was then Tarquin looked up at the direction his Mom was heading from. He was equally surprised to see his mother too approaching them. "What are you doing, Ivy?" Mrs. Caroline asked as she noticed that Ivy was serving Tarquin and there was no servant around to do so. Ivy looked towards Tarquin who was looking intently at her before looking away towards Mrs. Caroline. She forced a smile. "I decided to serve my husband breakfast and asked all the servants to go get busy with other stuff," Ivy lied as she dropped the coffee cup in front of Tarquin. "Why? You should allow the servants to do their jobs, why will you stop them? Please sit," Mrs Caroline said. Ivy looked at Tarquin on hearing Mrs Caroline's words. She could see disapproval in his cold gaze as he continued looking at her. She declined and shook her head. "No, I will sit to have breakfast after making sure my husband is satisfied," Ivy said as poli
Tarquin finally stood up from the poolside and headed inside the house. He had finally gotten the privacy he craved, it was so stressful for him to start sharing his space with another person now. He isn't yet used to it and doesn't want to get used to it too.He walked into the bedroom and sat on the couch as he stared at the bed. He was still surprised at himself for allowing Ivy to sleep comfortably on the bed. The plan was to ask her to leave the guest room or sleep on the couch if she didn't want to leave the room. He became weak to ask her to leave when he walked in and found her sleeping comfortably like a baby on the bed, he was humane so he felt a little bit touched and decided to sleep out.He spent the night in his private space on the next floor where no servants are allowed to visit.Tarquin was agitated at his Mom, he didn't know why she was interfering in his affairs, if she would continue interfering in his affair, he would have no choice but to make Ivy's life more mi
Mrs. Caroline took Ivy to one of the biggest shopping complexes in the city where all needed personal services like; outfit shopping, skincare, makeover, and VVIP body massage and spa, and the rest were done. Ivy was surprised when the driver stopped in front of the huge building.She was known to the country and didn't know places but it wasn't hard for her to point out that such services were done in the place they came to. She was excited to tour the place but at the same time, she wanted to know why Mrs Caroline chose to bring her there."Mom! This should be one of the biggest shopping complexes/beauty spas in the country, why are we here?" Ivy asked as she held gently onto Mrs Caroline's hand."We came to fix you up for tomorrow. At least I need you to pick a few outfits you would be using for tomorrow because it is going to be a very big day, it is bigger than the quiet wedding you had. Many guests are coming because you are the daughter-in-law, and the wife of a well-known perso
Hannah Welmort took them further into the biggest part of the shopping complex which Ivy said she would prefer to tour first after Mrs Caroline asked her where she would like to visit in between the shopping complex and the beauty parlor/Spa where she can find as many cosmetics as possible, produced by different brands around the world.Ivy couldn't stop staring in awe as Hannah Welmort led her alongside Mrs Caroline into her luxurious shopping complex which was a house to all the expensive dresses, shoes, and accessories in the world. Ivy's attention didn't fail to be attracted to the beautiful dresses lined up in different dress forms and glass boxes. She felt like feeling her hands on them but stopped herself because she was supposed to act classy and shouldn't jump around, acting like a little girl who wants to touch and feel anything she sees for the first time."Is this the kind of life the elites and rich enjoy?" Ivy asked herself, as she was getting more astonished with every
Nathan Henry traveled back to his building the next day after meeting up with Tarquin, he had slept over in a five-star hotel with one of his numerous mistresses.He went back to prepare for Tarquin's wedding party which he invited him to.But on getting back to his Villa, he was informed that his Father had summoned him. He decided to honor his Father's call. An hour later, he was on his way to his Father's mansion on the outskirts of the city where he temporarily stays when he comes to visit the city from their clan.When he got to his Father's Villa, he drove into the huge compound. He packed his car and strode into the gigantic mansion. He met his Father, drinking herbal tea in the living room with two of his mistresses sitting close to him in half-clad dresses. He was still looking as young as ever even though he was over 60.This got Henry angry as he recalled how much he used to hate his father's mistresses while growing up, but he waved it off and bowed in greeting. His fath
Mrs. Caroline and Ivy had to return home early when she got a call from her daughter, Morgan, that she was returning home to attend Tarquin's wedding party the next day. She had been staying abroad almost all her life, it was since she was eight that she left the country.Tarquin had later joined her there when he clocked fifteen and since they loved each other, they grew up together very close.How could she miss her brother's wedding and now his wedding party, Morgan couldn't imagine that so she decided to fly back to the country and be her brother's support in case anyone tried to mess with him.She had earlier called Tarquin to inform him of her decision to come back but Tarquin had been against it. He even discouraged her from coming but she refused."You cannot stop me, I wanna come home, I want to see mom and also meet your bride too," Morgan had insisted a day earlier when she talked on the phone with Tarquin.Tarquin didn't want her to come back and meet Ivy because he knew ho
