Betrayed for Love
By Authoress Vehrah
★ Ivy ★
Where do you think you're going; Raphael said with an angry look.
Dad! Please just let us go; Lily pleaded.
No! You're leaving the country with i and your mother; He said and i felt a little bit hurt that he didn't mention my name even if it was a bad thing.
What of me? Aren't i your daughter? I asked.
You said you don't want to go, I can't force you; he said and i got angry.
But what of Lily? She doesn't want to come with you too but you're forcing her; i said and he sighed.
Alright Ivy and Lily you're going to come with me; he said.
No! Lily said and i looked at her.
Alright you have two choices. Do you want the easy way or the hard way? He asked and we all looked at each other before turning back to jump the window.
Alright then. It's the hard way; Raphael said and pulled out his gun and aimed it at Ivy.
If you don't stop, I'll shoot; he threatened and i looked back.
Guys go without me. I'll distract him; i whispered to them and they nodded.
Go ahead! Shoot me! I know that's what you really want since you hate me; i said and he lowered his gun.
I don't hate you Ivy; he said.
Yes you do! Don't deny it cos you usually forget about me. You forget my birthday until i remind you, you forget that i even exist when you buy things for lily, you don't treat me like your real daughter!!!!! I yelled and he fought back his tears as he looked at the ground.
Gavin, Lily and Arnaldo have already jumped down the window and now it was my turn.
And am sure you don't love me!! I added with tears falling from my eyes and he looked up at me.
I do love you Ivy, it's just that.... He paused and i stared at him.
You see. You gat nothing to justify what you do to me and that's because you don't love me; i said and walked towards the window.
Since you don't love me, you don't need me to follow you, mum and Lily out of the country; i added and held the rope before jumping down the window leaving him speechless.
I landed on the ground and saw the rest waiting in the car outside. I ran towards the gate and opened it before running to the car. I entered the car and soon, we drove off.
Are you okay Ivy? Arnaldo asked and i nodded.
Where do we go now? Lily asked.
I'm not sure; Gavin who was driving the car replied.
What if we rent an apartment? I asked and they looked at me.
I don't have money oo! Lily was the first to say.
Me too; Arnaldo said.
Me three; Gavin said and we all laughed.
Alright renting an apartment is out of the picture. What if we go to my dad's penthouse; I said.
But he might find us there; Lily said.
He won't. After what i told him, i doubt he'll come looking for us; i said and she sighed.
If you say so! Let's go Gavin; Lily said and Gavin nodded before driving off. We told him the directions and in no time, we arrived.
We alighted from the car and looked at the house. Arnaldo and Gavin carried our luggages out of the boot.
Wow! It's beautiful; Lily said.
That's right! I said with a smile.
Let's go into our new house; Lily said with a smile and rushed in and i followed suite.
We opened the door and stepped in. The house was colored blue and pink, with one kitchen, three rooms and black staircase. One of the room was decorated pink, while the other purple. The last room was decorated black since it's the guest room.
I'm taking the pink room; Lily said and rushed upstairs to the room while i ran upstairs to the purple room.
I think Dad did this for us; Lily said.
If so then why does he treat me as if i ain't his daughter? I asked.
I'm sure he has a reason; Lily said and i nodded.
Let's go say goodbye to Arnaldo and Gavin; i said and Lily nodded as we went downstairs.
Thanks for your help guys! I said and they smiled.
Yeah thanks! Lily said.
See you tomorrow at school? Arnaldo asked.
Definitely! I said with a smile.
He pulled me into a tight hug and i hugged him back.
I love you! He whispered.
I love you more! I muttered and pecked him on the cheek as i broke the hug.
See you tomorrow cutie; Gavin said and Lily blushed.
You too handsome; she said and he pulled her into a warm embrace.
I love you; he muttered as he broke the hug.
I love you too; Lily said with a smile and kissed him. The kiss was a long and passionate kiss until they heard coughing behind them which made them break it.
Lily! We have a lot to talk about; i said with a smirk and she giggled.
Sure thing! She said.
Gavin and Arnaldo dropped the luggages in our respective rooms before coming downstairs.
Bye Gavin!
Bye Arnaldo! We said and the two boys nodded and left the house.
Now about Gavin! Are you guys a thing now? I asked while wiggling my brows.
Yes we are; she said and i squealed before hugging her.
That's good news! Tell me more; i said as we broke the hug.
Sure! She muttered and we began climbing the stairs.
★ Raphael ★
I watched as Ivy jumped the window and i sat on the couch as tears flowed freely. All the moment i hurt Ivy came flashing through my mind. The way i treated her made more tears pour from my eyes.
She's right! I didn't treat her like my daughter and I'm starting to regret it now; i muttered as I wiped the tears. I stared at the gun in my hand and threw it across the room.
I can't believe i almost shot her; i muttered and the door flew open.
Honey! Regina called and ran to meet me.
Where are the children? Did you get them back? She asked and i sighed.
I let them go; i said and she frowned immediately.
Why? She yelled and i stood up.
Because they didn't want to come with us and we can't force them; immediately i finished that statement, she slapped me.
You should have used force. You shouldn't have let them go; she yelled and i grabbed her by the neck.
Don't you ever lay your hands on me again. I will fix this and bring my children back and if you can't take it, then leave my house this instinct!! I yelled and she began coughing because of how I held her neck.
P..please l..let g..go o..of m..me; she managed to say and i released her. She fell to the ground while coughing.
You'll stop all plans of leaving the country with my children because the moment you do that, I'll will make sure to hunt you down and kill you with my own hands; i said and went to pick my gun before walking out of the room.
I called my PA and told him to cancel our flight cos we aren't leaving anymore. I sighed and walked into my own room shutting the door behind me.
I promise to make it up to you Ivy. Even if it's the last thing I do; i muttered before going to take a shower.
Meanwhile,
★ Regina ★
I stood up and sat on the bed with tears in my eyes.
I'm sorry kids! I made you leave this house and now I don't know where you are; I said as tears fell from my eyes. I remembered Arnaldo and i frowned.
It's all because of that boy and I'll make sure he dies so i can be with my children again; I muttered with folded fists.
TBC...
