The sunlight seeped through the window and highlighted a figure on a bed, his arm and head was bandaged and you could still see the slight blood. His face was ghastly pale and his lips were chapped and dry.

All in all, he looked very sick and feeble, if you did not look closely, you would not know that the figure was a 'he' because of his weak physique.

The figure grunted and squinted his eyes open with difficulty, he closed them back as he was unable to adapt to the sudden brightness. Soon, he opened them again and this time, clearer.

Of course, the figure was Ivan.

Ivan furrowed his brows tight and looked around.

"Where the fuck am I? What happened to me?"

He was in a luxurious room that looked like a room in a five star hotel. The room was clean and was painted white, it was very quiet and apart from Ivan's slight breathing sound, there was also a beep sound from the machine beside him. 

His eyes widened in realisation, he was in a hospital but the room looked different from the rooms that he had been before. If not that he had seen the clinical equipment that was monitoring his heartbeat and pulse, he would not have believed that he was in a hospital room.

Moreover, the scheme of the hospital was white, including the ceilings.

He shut his eyes, trying to remember what happened exactly and how he got here and then it hit him with a bang.

His depressed state of mind when he went for a walk and how he got into a fight with some unreasonable people. The only thing he remembered was the blurred figures of those guys as they absconded. 

Ivan was still deep in thoughts when he suddenly heard the loud ringing of a phone, he looked around having realised that the ringing tone was his. Then, he saw his phone on a table nearby.

When he saw the name displayed on the screen, he clenched his jaws and hesitated before picking it.

"Hello? Lucy is that you?" Ivan questioned in doubt. 

"Yes, it is me. Where have you been? You did not come home the whole night, did you?" She asked and Ivan took in a deep breath.

If he said that he was not glad about Lucy's concern, it would be a lie. It seemed that Lucy still cared about him a lot and he could not help but be glad.

If she could apologize, he was ready to forgive her.

"I am sorry, I was caught up with something, is everything alright?" 

"Come home." Lucy said simply and Ivan nearly laughed aloud. He felt that although Lucy's voice was calm, she still liked him.

"Alright." He agreed without hesitation and with that, Lucy disconnected the call.

He smiled and traced his head that had been throbbing with his hands, soon a nurse entered the room with a notebook in her arms. When she saw that Ivan was awake, she smiled gently and checked his conditions and the monitoring machine before speaking up.

"How are you doing sir? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?" 

"I am okay, but how did I get here? I can't remember any thing." Ivan asked in doubt and the nurse answered, with the same gentle and polite smile on her face.

"You were brought here yesterday night by someone, you were unconscious and injured with bruises all over your body, he claimed that he saw you unconscious in a dark valley." She said and Ivan frowned.

He actually wished that the person did not save him because he could not see any reason for him to be alive but still, he was grateful.

"is the person still around? I want to thank him personally."

"He left after paying your bills and making sure that you are okay, he was also the one that arranged for you to be in a VIP ward." The nurse said and Ivan's frown became deeper but he just sighed after.

What if his son was as lucky as he was now? What if he also got someone to help arrange a VIP ward for his son? Ican shook his head, knowing that there was no what ifs.

"Alright, thank you, but can I leave now? I need to attend to something." Ivan asked the nurse and she contemplated before nodding slowly.

"Your wounds are just superficial, you don't have any internal wounds so you can be discharged, you don't have any thing to worry about, it has all been settled." She said and Ivan nodded, he could not help but be very grateful towards the person that helped him.

With everything settled, Ivan took his phone and left the hospital before walking towards his and Lucy's house with brisk steps. He already knew that Lucy wanted to apologize to him, so he walked even faster, enduring the pain on his legs and left arm.

He had requested for the nurse to remove the bandage and he rolled his sleeves to cover the wound on his arm, his bangs also covered the wounds on his head.

Soon, he got home. He saw two cars in the garrage. One was Lucy's while the other was a Porche car. He shrugged and walked inside. 

He bumped into an unfamiliar lady the moment he entered, he was surprised. 

Was she Lucy's new friend?

"Ah, i am so sorry, so sorry." The lady apologized profusely, Ivan quickly waved his uninjured hand to tell her not to worry.

"Are you here to see Miss Lucy? I am a maid that she just employed, can I know who you are?" The lady said very politely and it made Ivan embarassed.

"My name is Ivan, I am Lucy's husband." He said with a smile but the lady's countenance changed and she suddenly scoffed, contempt and disdain evident in her face, It caught Ivan off guard.

"So, you are just the useless and good for nothing husband? Tsk tsk, I was respectful for nothing, such bad luck." The lady said after looking at Ivan from head to toe. She had thought that he was some low key young master, but she was mistaken.

Ivan was enraged and was about to berate the lady when he heard Lucy's voice. 

"Ivan?"

Ivan glared at the lady before bypassing her and walking inside, he saw Lucy sitting elegantly on the couch, a man in suit was sitted beside her. He was holding a briefcase.

Ivan suddenly got a bad feeling but he forced himself to calm down and was about to ask who the man was when Lucy handed some papers over to him.

He looked at her in doubt but she just raised her brows.

"Read it." She said and Ivan nodded.

But as he started reading, his eyes dilated and he trembled before raising his head to look at Lucy and the unfamiliar man on suit.

  • CHAPTER 288: Pain

    After they finally found a dress that they would wear for the ball, they sent all the designers packing, and the house seemed empty. 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,”

    “I'm so stressed out. Let's quickly get today over with,” Isabel moaned as she sat down.“We have only just begun; have you forgotten that we are going to shop for the dresses that we will wear to the ball?” She asked her.“Oh, I totally forgot about that, darn.”“Good that you're here. 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. Go and take your bath,” Rachel told her, and she nodded.“You don't even have to tell me twice. Can't we just tell the designers to come here?”“Well, my house is too cramped up, right?”“My house? Let's go

  • CHAPTER 286: Motherly Love

    “I've done a number on him,” Isabel muttered as she plopped down onto Rachel's bed.“Why do you say that?” Rachel asked as she removed her makeup.“He's now acting like a baby around me, like he's scared what might happen if he does some certain things with me. 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. You guys have each other, and you're strong together, so

    “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

  • CHAPTER 284: Office Talks

    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. They had a meeting tomorrow where she would have to give her briefing, so she wanted everythi

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
