Chapter FORTY

  Theme: We are in a huge debt

  (IVY RIVERA’S APARTMENT: NIGHT TIME)

  Emily was trying to dissuade her sister from leaving Los Angeles. Ivy was going back and forth from her bedroom to her son’s room trying to put their things together for the urgent vacation. The door bell jangled for the fourth time which she had ignored earlier knowing it might be someone from one of the media houses in the state.

  “Oh Lord...not this time.” Ivy grumbled as she looked at Emily.

  “Do you want me to get it? I can deal with those reporters if you let me do it.” Emily said with a shrug.

  “No just let it be...I don’t need to show myself to anyone.” Ivy replied.

  “But why are you like this Ivy? I have been trying to let you see reasons why you shouldn’t leave again.” Emily said as she followed Ivy back and forth into Leroy’s room.

  “Leroy please pack up your things..we have to leave home early tomorrow.” Ivy helped her son who was slow about pack his things.
