Betrayed for Love
By Authoress Vehrah
★ Anna ★
I sat on the chair as I sipped from my orange juice while watching the news with her friends.
It looks like I didn't have to do anything to kill Ivy. She's already gone cos no one can survive that kind of fall; I muttered and took another sip from my juice.
You're right! She's gone so you can have Arnaldo all for yourself; Madison said.
Exactly! I'll tell him how I feel today; i said with a smile.
That's the spirit! Savannah said and gave me a high five. We continued gisting and laughing then i got up.
I'll get going now; I said and they nodded.
Okay bye! They chorused and i nodded before exiting the house. I entered my car and the driver drove off. I called Arnaldo's line and after the third ring he finally picked his call.
📱 Hello who's is this? He asked.
📱 It's Anna! We need to meet up; i said.
📱 And why should we meet up? He asked.
📱 I can't possibly tell you on the phone. It's best we meet up; i said and i heard him groan.
📱 Fine then. Where are we meeting? He asked.
📱 At the park. The bench near the fountain. Make sure to come alone; i said.
📱 Alright I'll be there soon; he muttered and ended the call.
I just hope he doesn't bring Ivy along; i muttered.
Drive quickly!!! I yelled at the driver and he increased his speed. In 2 minutes we got there and i alighted from the car before running into the park.
I got to the bench and sat down while waiting for Arnaldo. After a while, i saw him coming towards me and i quickly sprang up on my feet.
Hey! I said but he ignored me.
What do you want to tell me? He asked.
Well you need to sit; i said and pulled his hand as we sat on the bench.
Speak! He said and i nodded.
Arnaldo! I called while rubbing his hands.
There is something i wanna tell you. It has been disturbing me for some days now so it'll best if i let it out today; I said.
Get to the point! He muttered coldly and i sighed.
I love you Arnaldo! I said and he immediately pull his hand away.
You're joking right? He asked but I shook my head sideways.
I truly love you and i would want us to be together. I don't want any girl to have you except for me; i said and he chuckled.
Well too bad I'm already taken! He said.
By who? I asked.
Me! Ivy said as she cat walked to the scene. She placed her left hand on his shoulder since she was wearing a cast on the right hand and she smirked at me.
I opened my mouth in shock as i stared at Ivy.
Weren't you supposed to be dead? I asked.
Well I'm not dead as you can see; she mumbled and i folded my fists.
That's not my business. I need you to stay away from Arnaldo; i said.
And why should i? She asked.
Because he's mine; i said and she chuckled.
He was never yours and he will never be yours; she muttered and i got angry and slapped her. She slapped me back with her left hand and Arnaldo held her.
I love Ivy Anna and if you hurt her, I'll make sure you pay dearly; Arnaldo said and Anna could feel her heart sink deep.
I love you Arnaldo! Why can't you love me too? Am more prettier than Ivy, i even got everything that Ivy doesn't have; i said and Ivy glared at me.
Well to me, Ivy is prettier and she got everything unlike you. All what i see here are flat flat stuffs. Like i mean, what's that on your chest, groundnut? He said and i started crying immediately.
Let's get going Arnaldo! Ivy said and he nodded. They were about leaving when they heard what I said.
I hate you guys!!!!! And I'll make sure you pay; i said as i wiped my tears.
They didn't answer me as they left the park and i fell to the ground crying profusely.
He left me for that ivy and I'll make sure to make her life a living hell; i muttered staring at Ivy's retreating figure.
I entered my car and drove back home. Immediately i got home, i entered my room and locked the door.
Arghhhhhhhhhhh...... I screamed breaking the flower vase and other stuffs as i cried.
Why Ivy!!?? Why her??!! I yelled as i kept breaking things. I couldn't find any more thing to break so i went to the restroom. I took my bath and wore my PJs before climbing bed.
I'll make you pay Ivy! I promise; i muttered as i drifted off to sleep.

I wonder what made her upset; Nanny Nancy muttered before continuing what she was doing.
★ Lily ★
We all walked out of the room and everyone went their separate ways leaving only me and Gavin. We started walking and i smiled knowing that Ivy is now awake.
What's that smile for? He asked.
My sister is now awake. Of course I'll be happy; i said and he nodded. They got to the garden of the hospital and they both sat on the bench.
Silence filled everywhere and i kept stealing glances at Gavin.
Lily! Gavin broke the silence.
Yes Gavin! I replied and faced him.
I wanna tell you something; he said and i stared at him.
Go on! I said.
Lily! Seeing you smile makes my day. I can't spend a day without thinking about you. Your face is always in my head and anytime i see you cry, it saddens me. You're an amazing girl and i wouldn't want to be with any other girl apart from you. I love you. I love you so much Lily; he said and i stared at him with a shocked look on my face.
So what's your reply? He asked.
Thank you Gavin for always being there for me. For being my shoulder to cry on. For always trusting and believing in me. For standing by my side. For making me smile when i want to cry. I wanna say that i love you too Gavin. I love you so freaking much; i said and he smiled before hugging me tightly which i reciprocated.
We're official right? I asked after we broke the hug.
Nope! He said and i frowned a bit.
Why? I asked. He smiled before leaning in and kissed me. My eyes widened and slowly, i found myself closing my eyes as i reciprocated to the kiss. After a while, we broke the kiss and i stared at him with a smile on my face.
Now we're official? I asked and he nodded.
Yes!!!! I mumbled and gave him a swift kiss on the lips before pulling him into a hug. The ringing of my phone made me unlock from the hug.
I need to take this; i said and he nodded. I got up and swiped the green button as i answered the call.
📱 Hello! Who am i speaking to please? I said and asked.
📱 It's your father! He said and a smiled formed on my lips.
📱 Dad! Is it really you? I asked.
📱 Yes sweetie! It's your dad; he said and i smiled more.
📱 I missed you so much dad; i said.
📱 I miss you too; he said.
📱 So how have you been? I asked.
📱 I'm good thanks! I'm back darling and am at the house but how come you and your sister aren't here? He replied and asked.
📱 Really? You're back? I can't believe this. I'll finally see you again. Sorry we aren't at the house cos we don't live there anymore; i mumbled and he chuckled.
📱 How will you be able to see me when you're not home? He asked and she sighed.
📱 I don't want to come home as long as mum is in the house; she mumbled and he sighed.
📱 Just do this for me sweetie. Please come home; he said and she sighed.
📱 Fine I'll come but what of Ivy? Won't you call her? She said and asked.
📱 Thanks! No need to call her, you just need to tell her. You guys should come home soon. Daddy is missing you; he muttered.
📱 You're welcome. She'll be sad about that. Okay we'll be there soon; i said.
📱 Alright then! Till you guys get home. Bye! He said.
📱 Bye! I said and ended the call.
Who was that? Gavin asked as he got up and walked towards me.
It was my dad! He wants me home now so I'll be going; i said and he pouted.
But I'll miss you; he said and she smiled.
I'll miss you too. Don't worry, I'll be back; I said and he nodded. We went back into the hospital and went to Ivy's ward. We knocked before going in.
Lily! What brings you here? Ivy asked as she chewed on her food.
Actually they just came back from the park and now Arnaldo is feeding Ivy some rice and stew.
Dad called and he wants us home now; I said.
No! I'm not going; she said as she gulped down a glass of water.
Please Ivy just come; i begged.
Just go Ivy. It's your dad we're talking about; Arnaldo said and she sighed.
Fine! Let's go; she said as she got up from bed.
Won't you finish your food? Arnaldo asked.
Am already full. I'll see you later. Bye! She said and left the room. I told both Gavin and Arnaldo bye before leaving the room as well. We entered our car and the driver drove off. We arrived at our house and alighted from the car. We walked in and saw our dad sitting on the couch and the moment he saw us, he got up and came towards us. I saw mum standing behind and i frowned a bit.
Welcome children! He said with a smile.
TBC
I've finally posted. Sorry for the delay.
Who liked the breakfast Arnaldo served Anna?
Gavin and Lily are now a couple. Who's happy?
They finally shared their first kiss.
Now that their dad is back, what do you think will happen next?
What do you think Anna meant by saying ' I'll make your life a living hell ' to Ivy?
Love y'all 💙✨
