"Byran do you really still want to come back to the company, after all you did to me?".
Williams asked.
"You made me like this" pointing at his eye, "still you have the guts to think of coming back".
Bryan's face is still buried on the floor.
"What would Ivy think of you when I tell her you tried to kill me few years ago?".
Bryan's jaw tightened.
"Williams you and I know the deep truth that you did this to yourself… and".
"Oh Bryan", he countered "who is going to believe that ?, when everyone saw the knife in your hands".
Laughing sarcastically.
"You have black mailed me enough Williams, cut this pitiful act, are you not ashamed of yourself?".
Byran thundered.
"It's really not complicated Byran", Williams said leaning closer to him.
"I don't like being in this predicament either, excuse me for being a good person and sympathizing".
"I might be a good person, but I'm not and if you don't want me telling everyone who chooses to listen what you did to me".
Bryan's face went pale hearing that.
"You will solve this damn problem by leaving ivy and the company as well,so you can have peace of mind… Are we clear?".
"Woah Williams",his face hardened even more.
"Nice performance you are finally showing your true colors, I will see how far you intend to take this".
"Don't dare me Byran". Williams snared.
Byran walked away from him and went back inside.
I saw how dark his eyes were,like he was ready to tear down someone. I quickly leaned closer to him and wasn't sure if this is the right time to talk about this with him.
"Ummm… Byran". I stammered, "we have just today to decide our fate, and you know if you don't go back to the company and Tracy gets married to Williams I won't be able to get my revenge".
"Please Bryan I… I really need your help on this".
"I have already decided to go back to the company tomorrow" Byran uttered.
I tried so hard to hide my excitement. "Really!?". When did you decide?, I'm so happy right now".
"But you have to do me a favour" He said holding her hand with a mixed expression.
"You must not go to visit Williams any time he contacts You".
I lifted my eyebrow in surprise not knowing what he's trying to say.
"I don't understand Byran, is anything the matter".
"You don't need to understand Ivy, just obey my instructions and stop asking questions". He cautioned. "I'm going to the hotel". He stood up and swung the door open.
I sat at the edge of the sofa thinking about what he said,immediately my phone chimed and the screen lit up. It was a text from my mom.
"I want to see you tomorrow morning, don't be late".
""""""""""""
Time flew by when I opened my eyes. It was already the next morning, I quickly took my shower and left to find out why my mom wanted to see me. When I entered, I saw everyone seated in the living room.
"Hi Gavin". I greeted even though he didn't respond.
"Mom", keep the formalities ivy let's get down to business". she quickly interpreted me before I could say anything.
"Mr and Mrs Bank's called me and told me they have approved your marriage with Bryan… and how does that make you feel being the enemy of the family?". She taunted.
I could feel how there gaze on me with full disgust.
"But mom I…only wanted to know what it feels like to be greedy" , I said in a mocking tone.
"Gavin was never interested in me even though I loved him".
Gavin's face turned red hearing his name.
"Ivy don't rejoice over a little victory of taking over what belongs to your sister".
I stared at him in disgust without altering any other word, my gaze moved to Tracy who kept staring at the space dumbfounded without saying anything.
"Ivy I called you here to apologise to Tracy" Mrs Alice blurted.
I smiled in reply, stood still and was staring at them.
"Don't tell me you have gone deaf ivy?", Gavin shouted, Don't think I'm been soft on you right".
"Are you done shouting?", I said laughing out loud.
"Why should I apologise for the monster I've become? No one apologized for making me this way".
Tracy got up from her seat and her eyes were already red with tears.
"Ivy I promise that i will come back for you and I will make you pay fully".she made to leave but Gavin dragged her back.
He quickly stood and pushed me to the floor on my knees, which made me hit my lip on the floor "Ahhhhhrg", I shouted blood was already dripping from my lips.
"shut up ivy!" my mum shouted. Apologie to Tracy now! she roared more in anger.
I hesitated and made to get up. She quickly brought a substance in a little bottle and opened it.
"Get up ivy and I will make sure I force this down your throat and I will have fun recording your nude with Gavin on top of your naked body".
She leaned closer and whispered. " Just then your little world will crumble, not even Byran will believe any word that comes from that gutter mouth".
I felt hopeless, tears filled my eyes the little love I had for the family that raised me began to fade away, the urge to destroy mrs Alice Rowlands because more strong.
All I want to do right now is to make her crumble that she will certainly regret ever adopting me.
Immediately the door busted opened and it was Bryan there was absolute quietness in the room Gavin began to shake a little.
