Immediately Blue left Sally, she texted Jack. "We need to talk"
"hi mom" Ivy greeted with a hug, "where have you been?"
"I stepped out for a bit to see Aunty Sally, how're you doing? Let's make dinner" Blue tried to hold a conversation with Ivy, just to push her mind away from everything that happened in the past hours, especially what Sally revealed to her.
"Mom, I need my father"
These words from Ivy pierced Blue's heart, she paused for a moment. Stuttering, "uh..mm Ivy, listen your father loves you, and soon he will come back to us"
"I just wanna know him, why did he leave me? I got bullied in school"
Blue pulls her closer, and hugs her, kisses her forehead and reassures her that she'll get to meet her dad soon.
After some minutes, Jack texts back "I'll call you now"
Blue's phone buzzed, it's Jack on the line, she picks up
"Looks like someone misses me" Jack goes first in a quite masculine tone.
"Jack, this ain't no time for jokes" she cut in
"I got some really weird message today"
"uhh.. here we go again, what happened?"
"I got some photos of you and your wife together at some events." I got a warning note alongside telling me to stay off you.."
there was silence for a moment. "Did you send them?" Blue added.
"Of course no! I wouldn't do that to you. Oh my god! This is really pissing me off. This sounds like some made up shit, someone is behind all these" he sighed " I'll get to the root of it"
"You have to, at this point, I'm really scared. I don't know their next move. We have to act fast."
"Blue, listen. I wouldn't let anyone hurt you, not under my watch."
They had other discussions, and finally got off the phone.
Ivy was done with Dinner and had gone to bed. Blue was exhausted, she tried to find hope and comfort in Jacks words. She laid on the couch, running through a flicker of emotions. Who could've sent that package? , what could She possibly do to avoid such circumstances? Do they really know Ivy's true identity?
She couldn't find an answer. She thought of moving out of her apartment, where no one could trace her. But to where? She has a life here already, Ivy's school, her job, and even Sally.
'I'd face it. It's the life I chose, I can't run away from it.'
Blue whispered to herself. 'I have to be strong, if not for anything, but for Ivy. I can't let them fight her.' She sluggishly grabbed a glass of juice, gulped it down and staggered back to the couch and slept off.
The next day, Blue had an appointment with a client she's supposed to organize an event for..
she woke up late and had things done in a hurry, she had to drop Ivy in school, and head off for her appointment.
She pulled herself together as she got to the office. She hasn't been at work for quite sometime and she wasn't going to mess this up.
She got a knock on the door, "come in"
"Hello Mr.Donald, it's nice to have you, please have a seat"
"Oh thank you, Miss Blue, it's an honor"
They both exchanged pleasantries
Moving further to the purpose of the meeting, Blue began "so, what event do you want to organize and what're your plans?"
"It's my birthday dinner, and I'd have some really important dignitaries attending. I'd like for it to be exceptional, something outside the world you know" they both chuckled
"id have that taken care of Mr. Donald, it's in two weeks right?" He nodded " that's not enough time to work with, but I'll surely pull it off for you."
They made plans on finances and other things, Mr. Donald headed out after a few minutes.
'woah, what a tasking one it'll be' Blue had a quick meeting with her team members in preparation for the upcoming event.
