SHANE'S MANSION

 "They are here again," Shane Driver Matt said as he drove towards the Mansion.

 Shane stretched his neck and almost scoffed when he saw Some high school students in uniform in front of his Home.

"Don't they go to school?", He muttered and Matt stopped the car and turned to him.

"I will go take care of them," he said and got out of the car

 Shane sighed as he saw the kids with gift packages, some with boards and he shook his head.

" This is a disaster" Shane muttered, his phone rang and he took the phone from his suit jacket and stared at the screen, he smiled immediately, it was Ivy

 He picked up the call and placed the phone on his ear.

" Hey Honey," he said scratching his brows.

Where are you?" She asked.

"I am out of the house, I will be in soon" Shane replied.

Ok, Baby, I am waiting"

 Ivy said and ended the call.

 He smiled and scratched his brows, well he was Happily Married, although there was sadness in his marriage.

And that was Ivy's Refusal to bear a child for him for over three years of their Marriage.

 She is a Model so her body is more important to her and she doesn't want to ruin it, ding to her beliefs.

 Shane acted cool with it like he was fine but deep down, he was the Saddest, Seeing couples with their kids, or seeing his Colleagues with their babies broked him all the more.

 He sighed pressing his lips together, soon the Students started dispersing and he wondered what Matt had told them for them to leave.

 Soon Matt came back in the car and turned to Shane.

"They are gone" Matt said and Shane nodded.

 The Automatic gate slowly slid open and Matt droved into the huge Mansion.

 Matt parked the car and Shane came out before Matt could open the door.

 Matt also came out and bowed at him as he walked into the building, he stared at his running fountain water and took his gaze from there entering the Main house.

 He opened the door and looked around.

"Where is she?" He muttered and stared at the Staircase, their wedding Photo was placed on the stair wall framed hugely.

 He smiled and rushed upstairs, he went into their room and met her coming out of the Bathroom

"You finally came in" Ivy said dropping the little towel she was holding and walking towards him.

He packed her into his arms immediately and she giggled.

"I missed you so much" he muttered kissing her cheekbones.

 Well, she travelled for a week for a commercial and she called him that she was back while he was at the company.

 He held her tiny waist and she stared at his face.

"You have become more handsome Honey, it is just a week but I miss you like no other", Ivy said touching his chin and he smiled.

"I think I missed You the more," he said and kissed her lips.

 He noticed her moved uncomfortably and he frowned.

"Are you okay?" He asked and she shook her head rubbing her forehead.

"I think I am a little bit tired and stressed from the journey" Ivy muttered moving from him and he moved his eyes slowly and nodded.

 He shut his eyes tightly, truth be told, He and Ivy's sex life was nothing to talk about, they hardly had sex and...

" Ok, take your time, I'll be out," Shane said trying to control his Bonner and she nodded faking a smile.

 He sighed and walked out of the room, he wondered why he decided to keep on with the Marriage even while he was suffering Emotional, that was because he loved her and he felt he needed to give her time to prepare for a Family.

 He brought out his phone and called his best friend, Joey's line.

 Soon Joey picked up and he placed his left hand on his waist as he walked downstairs.

"Let's meet up tonight" he said and he could feel Joey frowning.

But your wife just got back today, you should be with her"

" I rather stay off for now" Shane said sincerely as his Voice held frustration.

You are funny, fine, I'll call you when I get off the Office" Joey said and Shane nodded like he was there.

 He ended the call and took off his suit going to the sitting room, he stopped and turned staring at his and Ivy's Frame, hasn't she done enough?

 KIM'S HOME

 "Mom am home" Ellen said rushing into the house with her old side bag in her hands.

 She saw her mom sitting in her wheelchair as she knitted slowly and Jenna looked up and smiled, her face was paled and her lips dried.

"You came back earlier" Jenna said and Ellen dropped the bag on the floor and knelt before Jenna.

"How are you feeling Eeoma?" Ellen asked and Jenna sighed.

"Am feeling better, " Jenna said weakly as her voice was croaked.

 Ellen rubbed her hair and sighed, she can't believe her Mom who was just in her forties looked like an old woman in her seventies, tears almost came down her eyes but she can't show she is weak before her, Jenna might be worried.

"I was worried about you Eeoma, Jin is still at school and leaving you alone is scary" Ellen said and Jenna breathed out.

" Common I.... " She stopped when she felt a slight pain in her Chest, 

" Eeoma, are you okay? ", Ellen asked quickly and Jenna nodded.

"Yes, Am good", Jenna lied, if she has to die, it is more better than Letting Ellen spend more money at the hospital on her.

 She has Glibastoma , and she might die soon if she doesn't get surgery.

 "I'll go prepare something, so that when Jin comes back, I'll go to my third Part time Job" Ellen said standing and Jenna nodded.

 They heard the door bell rang and she stood,

"I think Max is here" Ellen said and rushed to the door.

 She opened it and she saw him raising a brown paper pack up with a smile.

"Oppa!" She called moving for him to go in.

"I wanted Eeomoni to eat something good before you leave" Max said as Ellen took the Brown paper.

"Eeomoni" Max called going to Jenna and she smiled.

" You are here" Jenna said as Ellen took the things to the kitchen.

 Well Max was a very close friend to the Family, infact, he is a Neighbor to Ellen.

 He has always been by Ellen at all times, He was known to be a good man though.

"Are you making a Shawl for me Eeomoni?" Max asked staring at the Knitting Material on her thighs 

" No, I am Making it for Ellen, she has been working too hard these days to meet to our needs, she needs to be warm at all times" she replied and Max nodded.

 And Max wasn't same age as Ellen, he just graduated from college at 26, well his main aim was To be close to Ellen, because he .... He shook his head, he shouldn't think about that for now.

 Max stood and walked to the Kitchen to meet Ellen washing the food stuffs, well she is a good cook.

 He smiled and she turned.

"You shouldn't have bothered," Ellen said and he shrugged.

"I want to make sure you are okay," he said and she smiled.

 Well, Ellen saw him as a Good Friend and Older brother, someone whom she could lay her head on and cry her eyes out at the time of pain and rely on. 

 "Jin will be so happy because of the Meat you got," Ellen said smiling and Max chuckled

"At least that enough should make him happ,," He said and her smile brightened.

 SHANE'S MANSION

 Shane sat in the dining looking into his system as his Secretary Felix was giving him hints about the Happening in the company in his absence.

"Honey?", He heard Ivy call and he looked up from the system.

"I will call you back Felix" Shane said and ended the call.

 Ivy in a short free gown walked towards him and he smiled.

"Are you just waking?", He asked and she nodded.

"Why aren't you working at your study or Room?" She asked sitting on the table facing him.

"I didn't want to disturb you"Hheee said and she thinned her lips and nodded.

Their Maid Ann walked to the dining and Ivy looked up, the Maid paused and looked like she was stuttering.

 She bowed at Ivy and slowly dropped The Cookies and juice Shane had ordered.

"Thanks" Shane said and she bowed and turned.

 Ivy noticed the short and revealing she was wearing and raised her brows.

"Ann, stop" she Called and Ann stopped.

 Ivy came down from the table and slowly walked to Ann while Shane just turned.

"Were you employed to seduce my husband?" Ivy questioned Harshly and Ann shook her eyes slowly.

" Wh.. what.. ma'am... " Before she could complete her statement Ivy slapped her already and she gasped.

" Honey, stop it" Shane said walking to them and holding her fingers.

" Stop it did you say?, Can't you see what she is putting on at my home!?" She snapped at him and he shut his eyes.

"Honey, ..."

"You are fired, go pick your things and leave right now" Ivy said angrily and glared at Shane before storming.

 Shane ran his fingers into his hair and stared at Ann, She was sobbing already.

"I'll have your pay sent to you later," he said and picked up his system before walking upstairs, 

 He walked to the room and met Ivy sitting on the bed with her arm crossed on her chest, she looked angry, he dropped his system and went to sit beside her.

"Honey, ..."

"How could you stop me!"

"Have you forgotten who you are? You are a model and a public figure for goodness sake, what if she goes out there and reports about her getting assaulted by you" He said thickly and she calmed immediately.

 She took her hair behind her ears and licked her lower lips.

"But..."

"No more buts, I will ask Felix to post a Vacancy for a Maid tonight, we might just have to order dinner," he said and she smiled and nodded.

 He kissed her cheeks and his phone beeped, he brought it out from his pants pocket, it was Joey.

 The location of the place they were to meet has been sent to him.

"I will be meeting with Joey," He said standing and she frowned.

" Joey?, Why?, We are supposedly to be together "

"We have men's talk," he said and went into his dressing room.

 Ivy shook her eyes slowly, He is annoying, that damn friend of his was!!.
