He slammed his hands on his forehead in frustration, he knew his grandfather was always up to no good but how could he suggest Ivy as his wife? That was utterly ridiculous.
"Grandpa….."
"Marrying Ivy is your only chance of getting your inheritance, take it or leave it"
Adrian walked away angrily, his dad and grandpa must be insane to make such suggestions.
He got ready and boarded his private jet, he had more important things to deal with than the silly marriage idea of his grandfather.

Ivy furrowed her brows as she kept cancelling some written words on a book.
"Gosh, this is so tiring". She had been searching for available schools were she and her team could go for the advertisement.
"Girlfriend, any luck on your search ?" James asked
"None yet. There are so many schools but they are all booked"
"Why don't you go there physically ? You would be able to reason with the owners of the school and maybe you'd be able to get one" Catherine suggested
"Yeah, I should" Ivy thanked her friends and went out of the company.
** The Montes residence
Janice kept pacing around in her room, they haven't heard anything from Ivy since that fateful night. She was scared that the Big boss might return and decide to take her in exchange.
"I can't sit idle and suffer for someone else's mistake. I must get out of this mess one way or the other". She picked her clutch bag and stormed out of the house, roughly driving one of her dad's car to the Big boss's house.
Janice breath in deeply as she walked into the gambling den.
"I want to speak to your boss"she boldly said.
"Why? Who are you?" The guard on duty asked
" I'm Brandon's daughter and I have something important to tell the Big boss "
The guard gave her a lustful stare before going in to inform the big boss.
"Come in " the guard called her. She walked into the office graciously with calculated steps.
"Good day, big boss" she greeted
"You're not the one I was expecting " he said
Janice sighed in relief,the big boss was no longer interested in her, it was a good sign.
"I know I'm not the one you're expecting….."
"Then why are you here" the Big boss rudely interrupted her. "Or are you interested in me?"
"You're so funny Big boss. But no, I'm not interested in you. I'm here to tell you something important about Ivy"
The big boss eye's shot in eagerness , "what about Ivy?"
"She's seeing someone else, a man and probably a sex mate " Janice lied
"What?" The big boss flared up. He wasn't used to sharing whatever he has his eyes on.
"I saw it myself " Janice said, pushing her phone to his face. It was a photograph of Ivy and another man in bed.
"How could she? Where did you get it from?"
"From her Instagram post, she was showing off. Big boss, you have to find where she stays so she can finally pay you back "
"I'd find her and make her pay"
Janice picked up a paper and pen and wrote her phone number on it.
"Please inform me of her current location, when you find her. Thank you " Janice said with a smile before walking out.
"I swear I'd ruin you Ivy. You just wait and see"
"Amboy!!" The big boss called one of his lackeys
"Big boss "
"I want you to find Ivy's current location and places she goes to. Inform me immediately when you get an update "
"Alright Big boss " Amboy said as he went to carry out his mission.
"I swear, I'd be the first to have you Ivy and I'd make you beg me to kill you" the Big boss swore, banging his fist on the table.

Ivy walked out of a school gate with a large smile, that was the third school she had visited and they were all willing to let her carry out her advertisment plan at their various schools.
"I'd make you chew your words back Adrian Wintershall, you just wait and see"
Ivy flagged her hands to stop an incoming taxi. "Wintershall Builders please ". She gulped down water from a bottle as she got seated in the taxi, not knowing she was being followed.
**
"Big boss, I've found Ivy " Amboy said as he was driving behind the taxi Ivy entered
"Good, make sure you follow her, find out everywhere she goes to and most importantly, her house address " the Big boss ordered
"Okay Big boss, I'd do just that "
**
Ivy got into the office and went to see Xavier directly. She would be needing extra hands in getting her work done quickly.
The following morning, Ivy headed to the school straight. She addressed the kids on the assembly , introducing the Wintershall Food various snacks and sweets. She then went to change into a pink ranger custom before handing out the gift packs to the kids.
She did the same at the other schools, praying her little venture would yield fruitful results. While heading back to the office, she saw a large banner of a funfair coming up at a park. She smiled as an idea popped into her head.
**The hotel room, Australia
Adrian was relaxing on his chair, sipping his wine as he held a paper - it was a signed contract between him and an Arab multi billionaire, who every business person wanted to become partners with.
He sighed deeply, everything in his life was going smoothly. He had everything and all he wanted was to get the gold mine so no one would be a threat but now he couldn't get it as his desire was tied to marrying a woman he didn't like.
"Damn you all" he silently cursed as he kept spinning his chair gently . His phone beeped repeatedly and he stretched to get the phone to his face. It was a message from Xavier.
Adrian frowned deeply as he kept scrolling through Xavier's message. It was several pictures of Ivy in the schools she had gone to.
"So this little woman isn't giving up , huh?" He picked up his phone and called his pilot. "Get ready, we're going back home "
