Romantic

This chapter is dedicated to @reybety. Thank you so much for the power stones ^^

"How are you?" Niel asked as Ivy opened her eyes. Jacob had left to take care if a few things at the chateau and Ian was still on his way to the hospital. Ivy smiled at him despite the visual fact that her face was pale, Niel gave her her phone and she typed out the most heartbreaking question he has ever heard from her device.

"Where's Ian?"

He looked away from her and fixed his gaze on the water dispenser in the room.

"He isn't coming. It's funny that you're asking for him, you know he won't come -"

"Ivy," Ian said, closing the door behind him. He bolted towards the bed and quietly settled on the edge of the bed. Niel looked at him and reluctantly left the room for both of them.

Ian helped Ivy to sit up and he sat close to her.

"Thank you," she typed after a few seconds.

"For?"

" The guy and for showing up,"

"Oh, are you feeling better? He said he didn't do anything, was he -"

" He didn't. You came before he almost had his way,"

"That's a relief....I know we aren't on good terms and these few days had been a mess but did what happen today remind you of anything? " He inquired and her former mode of crying kick-started again.

She couldn't hold her phone to type out anything and he felt his heart crush into multiple pieces, he embraced her again and his heart fluttered when she hugged him back tightly. Niel opened the door but went back when he saw them still locked in their warm embrace, he wasn't comfortable but he left to avoid anymore heartbreaks.

"Let's go home, I want to see Amelia," she said, pulling from him and cleaning her face while sniffling.

"But-"

"I'm okay now, sorry for ruining your shirt,"

" Umm.. it's okay but -"

"Do you want me to lock you up again? " She asked, forcing a tough face and Ian pouted. Just when they began to get along and have a reasonable conversation without any vulgar languages she had to bring up one of the most dreadful moments he wanted to forget.

Anika opened up Bea's room to see the lady at the balcony wearing a sad and depressed face. She signed and went to join her, she hardly had time to talk to Bea because of her tedious job and she was dealing with the wedding preparations and other work-related issues.

"Is anything wrong,dear?"

"He pushed her from the staircase,"

" Excuse me, who? "

"Ian pushed Ivy from the staircase, I've been keeping in touch with Niel and he told me that they can't survive each day without a fight and doing the process Ian slaps or injures her and now he decided to take this to another level by -" she paused to clean her tears and Anika held the bars of the staircase in awe.

All her life, she had never expected that Bea would bear a beast and not a human son, he was determined to kill the poor girl and the girl in question wished to stay until her two months was over.

"We need to deal with the divorce as soon as possible,Bea!"

" I know but Ivy doesn't want it until next month, "

"She's crazy! She's going to get herself killed,"

" I said so myself but I've talked to Niel and Jacob. They'll be keeping an eye on them and protecting Ivy from that punk, I just wish he was dead! "

"Calm down dear, let's just hope Ivy is able to hang on until next month, "

The car pulled in front of the chateau and Ian left the vehicle, Ivy followed suit and he handed the keys to a guard at the door.

" I was expecting them to be more romantic since they haven't argued for days," a maid whispered to her companion, Ian heard her and smirked, he turned to look at Ivy who seemed to be counting her steps as she walked, he leaned over to kiss her forehead and carried her in his arms.

Ivy's eyes widened as shades of red designed her face and she hung her hands on his broad shoulders while looking at him with furrowed brows. She wanted to object but she noticed the presence of the feminine gossips in front of them and closed her eyes while this supposed romantic moment lasted.

The hearts of the maids melted as Ian transported his bride inside their home with a beaming smile.

"Welcome home, Mrs. Kim!" A few staff members chorused as they walked into the house. Ivy was surprised and embarrassed at the same time, because Ian didn't put her down in front of everyone.

Niel and Jacob looked even more amazed because Ian and Ivy made skin to skin contact without arguing or exchanging war-like glances, Carlos seemed to be extra excited as he popped a bottle of champagne and Amelia's lips stretched as wide as an elastic band.

The happiness faded when Ivy forcefully brought herself down and ran like a mouse into her room, she shut the door behind loudly and hopped on her bed before covering her ears with her pillow. Ian simply strolled to the table, picked up a plate with a slice of a cake and went to his room, Niel did same and Jacob ate a large chunk of the cake with Carlos before he left.

....

The next day.

Ivy's head popped out from her bedroom door, she constantly checked if anyone was outside before she snuck out. She was very hungry but when she finally had the chance to step out, a feminine voice alerted her.

"Young Miss,"Amelia called and she froze like a statue before she rewinded her body to stare at the lady who called her.

"Yes,"

"There are people in the living room,they claim that they were sent by your husband,"
