Chapter 7 She's Ready For Revenge
- Lysander attempted to touch me, but the young man hit him in the face. He walked me to the car, opening it for me, and ensuring I entered before he walked back to Lysander.
- "Don't you ever think of touching Ivy again! She is no longer yours, okay?" He warned, his fingers pointing straight to Lysander's face.
- It was never my wish to stare at Lysander but I had to look at him last time, my body was so filled with rage as I watched all the love I had for Lysander burn into HATRED!
- "Don't worry, Ivy, you'll never be able to see his face again!" The young man who had previously helped me with his car, said, his hand holding my right hand.
- "Thank you,... Ethan!" I said, pulling a gentle smile on my face. He was no new to me, I'd known him for ages and recently chatted with him when I was at the hospital to come pick me up at the mansion.
- I'm glad he arrived on time and picked me before Lysander!
- Ethan glanced at me, his brow furrowed with concern. 'We're heading to the mansion, Ivy. Are you ready to face your family?'"
- He has been like this since I knew him. Just like his dad who is a big business partner of ours, Ethan is so kind-hearted and always obedient to my Grandpa.
- "I am not in the mood to discuss that, Ethan! Take me to the mansion. I'd be stating whatever I want when we arrive there " I responded, a sleek of disinterest flowing in my tone.
- "Of course, Ivy. I'll do as you said..."
- He drove off immediately and the next place we dropped was at the Moore's Mall. Ethan walked in and bought some clothes for me.
- When he returned, he handed them over to me "I'll wait outside until you're dressed!"
- ******
- Throughout our ride back home, I was embittered by the loss of my precious little boy. He was killed by his own father, now, I regret marrying Lysander! I regret loving him, and I regret accepting an insemination on his behalf.
- "We're here, Ivy," Ethan said, pulling the car to a halt. He stepped down and opened the car for me, I smiled cutely at him before stepping down from the car.
- Coming down from the car, Ethan stretched his hands forward "After you..."
- I smiled and walked forward, Ethan has always been cheeky ever since we were kids. So, it wasn't new to me how he played around me.
- The moment we arrived at the entryway, Ethan pressed the bell and the door automatically opened. He stretched his hand forward, implying I go first.
- The moment I stepped my left foot into the opulent foyer with gleamed golden accents, there was an immediate rhyming echo in the background "Welcome Back my QUEEN! Please receive our greetings!"
- As I gazed ahead, a stunning sight unfolded before me. Twenty maidens stood in two rows of ten, their heads bowed respectfully, creating a majestic pathway for my entrance.
- I was impressed by this heartfelt reception, a smile seizing to leave my face as Ethan grabbed my fist softly. "Let's go in..." He said, his voice filled with so much care and respect.
- I proceeded through the central aisle, created by the maidens who stood in two rows of ten, bowing respectfully to either side. A unique smile which I've lost over the years appeared on my face as I walked to my personal Sofa.
- "Welcome home, my beautiful granddaughter!" Grandpa's voice boomed, his eyes twinkling with warmth. He was still young, appearing as if he was in his 50s when he was 79.
- As I approached Grandpa, a mix of emotions swirled within me. It had been three long years since we'd last seen each other, and the warmth of his smile brought back a flood of memories. 'Grandpa!' I exclaimed, my voice trembling with joy.
- Hugging me with a smile, Grandpa asked the maidens to serve the dishes they made, as his only granddaughter had returned.
- Seeing my family took my flaws away by bits but those flaws were awakened when Grandpa asked "How about Lysander? Is he aware of your presence here?"
- The smile on my face disappeared, and I instantly lost my appearance by the mention of Lysander's name. Ethan's eyes locked onto mine, and he hastily attempted to intervene, but I cut him off.
- "We are DIVORCED, Grandpa! Lysander sent me Divorce papers and threw me out of his house, naked!"
- "How dare he do that to the daughter of the richest business tycoon in Nether? He must pay for that, Ivy!" Grandpa protested, his voice echoing in rage.
- He assured me three years ago that as long as I am happy with Lysander, he will continue supporting my marriage. Lysander isn't aware of my status as the hidden Trillionaire boss of WASTON GROUP, the most influential and richest corporation in Nether.
- My Grandpa has been supporting the Steel's Group with different types of contracts just because I was married to him. This is the reason Lysander has a total of 122 contracted deals with many brands all over the world under WASTON GROUP.
- "Ethan, call for a press meeting, I want the Steel's Group to go down ASAP...." Grandpa added, his rage seizing to end.
- "I'll do so..."
- "No need for that, Ethan!" I spoke up, cutting Ethan off.
- Grandpa's eyes were enraged, but I looked straight into his eyes, saying "No need for that, Grandpa!"
- "Do you plan to do this alone?" Grandpa inquired, his temper cooling slowly.
- "I want to do this alone, Grandpa! All these years, we've been secretly funding Lysander's company yet, he divorced me! I don't want him to go down easily. I want to watch him swim in the basket of regret, lust, and cravings for me! Slowly but steadily, I will make Lysander and others who made me suffer, pay dearly"
- "I am the current CEO of WASTON GROUP, and I have trillions of dollars at my disposal. By the slip of my finger, I can make Lysander go down!" I said, my voice filled with anguish, determination and vengeance!
