In about an hour, nearing six pm in the evening, Ashton and Ivy arrive.Liam literally hugs his big sister and hug her. While pretending to be a cool and suave man, he extends his hand for an handshake with Ashton who just laughs and pulls him in for a hug, an extra large one."Where is everyone?""All's served and we're at the table already. Come on. It's like I'm the only one here who's waiting for you guys to arrive.""What about Grant?" Ivy asks as she steps inside and inhales deeply. There's the smell of a combination of spices in the air."He had business in the main city so he's not coming back tonight."Ivy nods, her head still in the past. Those days, she had watched her mum take so many cooking and baking classes so as to be good at it, she had been so bad once that even the morning pancakes were mini disasters on plates. But she took the classes seriously and now she can qualify to be a world class chef and patisserie as well.Ashton also inhaled. "Wow. This place smells lik

It's Monday morning, Ashton the first to wake up as he does always and he makes breakfast for Ivy and brings it to her in bed.He taps her awake gently until she wakes up, sitting on the bed. "Good morning." He greets and moves in for a kiss.She smiles at the beautiful smell of the food and suddenly jumps off the bed. "No, you can't kiss me yet."Ashton furrows his eyebrows. "Ah, this is this morning's episode?"Ivy shrugs helplessly. "I haven't brushed my teeth yet." She enlarges her eyes and drops her voice down to a whisper. "I'm actually scared for you."Ashton laughs lightly, dropping the small plate of jam and toast and the cup of orange juice on the bedstand. "You manage to make me laugh every single morning. Though it's always a different matter."Ivy laughs lightly. "It puts me in a good mood to do so, so win win?"She walks around the bed and returns to where Ashton is seated. She pecks him the cheek. "I'll get freshened up real quick and join you for a proper breakfast? I

In a few hours, Ashton dials Ivy and asks her to meet him downstairs for lunch.She sighs and stretches her back, standing up from the chair she's been sitting in for hours, perusing documents and going through the ledgers and account books where, of course, there are tons of anomalies. Money missing which should be somewhere or money is where it isn't supposed to be, all just terribly jumbled up and named an account book.Ivy grabs her bag and jacket and heads down where Ashton really is waiting for her, leaning on the car right at the door, the valet sweating.Ivy chuckles at his nervous look and enters the car along with Ashton before driving. "Did you scare the valet?"Ashton laughs. "He's a shaky guy. I told him I was waiting for you to join me and he started to sweat profusely, maybe he thought we were going to scold him or something."Ivy laughs. "I guess he needs to see the good side of us so all misunderstandings will be cleared up. So where are we off to?""It's Bluehill tod

"Is this the place?" Ashton questions, alighting the car, his gaze fixed on the dimly lit apartment in front of them. He had taken the location from the man in his office earlier and he and Ivy now stands in front of the apartment that Tiara's phone tracking stands right over."Yeah, this is the exact location we traced Tiara's number. Tiara must be in there, and also whoever is keeping her," Ivy responds with a slight look of nervousness. No one knew what happened to Tiara, no one knew if she was dead or kidnapped, so they knew the best thing they could do was keep their guards high while going into the apartment in case they encounter any dangerous entity."Stay close," Ashton bellows cautiously as they began to advance forward and head towards the building. The building looked like a two-story building with cracked walls and faded paint. There was no light around the environment, making it give some kind of creepy vibe."The door is unlocked?" Surprised, Ashton speaks softly as he

Inside what is a neatly and well made room in the Hall family mansion, Veronica Hall is standing in front of a round mirror while applying some slight makeup to her face. She hadn't realized earlier that she ran out of groceries, and now that she was in need of them, she had to head over to the grocery store quickly to get some. After applying some makeup and making sure she was decently dressed, she picked up her purse and headed out of the room, informing Damien of her whereabouts.She took a car from home and chose a driver to drop her off, choosing to enjoy the breeze at the back of the car rather than drive. At the market and grocery store, she walks along the streets where several other people could be seen going about their own businesses, each trying to lure her into buying from them. Having the rich woman look around her and the elegance that seems to not be so far from her, Veronica manages to take note of everything around her, smiling at the cute things and frowning at som
