Chapter 15
Ivory had clocked out early from the office the following day, insisting on saving up enough strength for her father.
She wanted to be ready to deal with whatever drama he was going to pull.
Following the address she has been sent the previous day, she arrived at a bar in–built in a hotel, The Garden Of Eden, as it was ironically named. She went into the bar section and immediately spotted her father.
“I’m so glad you came, Ivy,” He said as she took seat in front of him in the boot he was seated, making sure to keep her distance.
“I almost thought you wouldn’t come,” raising his hand, he waved a waiter over. “Tell me, what would you like to have?”
“Can we please get this over with quickly, I have places to be.” Ivory insisted and Lionel cracked a smile.
“I understand.” Turning to the waiter, he insisted. “Please get my daughter a glass of water.”
The waiter nodded and after. Once he was gone, Lionel cleared his throat awkwardly and began.
“You’re mad at me, Ivy, I can see, tell,”
He flashed her a father friendly smile, one she would have hungry jumped at had he not shipped her off to that foster home, that place that caused her so many nightmares.
“And I understand and that’s why I want to apologize.’
די
The waiter returned with the water as Lionel was speaking, placing it in front of Ivory.
“Please Ivy, would you please forgive me for my actions so far?” He reached across the table for her hand, but Ivory without hesitation, avoided it and instead, picked up her glass of water.
She took a sip from it before saying. “Unfortunately that’s a request I can’t fulfill at the moment. If that’s all you have to say, then I think it’s time for me to take my leave.”
Without waiting for a response for her father, she stood up, turned around and attempted to leave.
Key word! Attempted!
But the moment she took one step forward, the corners of her vision suddenly blurred and her surroundings swayed, shortly after, her legs felt like noodles.
She staggered back a bit, holding her side of her head with a frown.
What just happened? She thought, but immediately, the answer to her question came when he
father stood up and approached her.
His eyes racked over her form before he muttered,
“It took effect faster than I expected.”
It took effect?
Ivory frowned at his words.
What took effect? She thought as her legs became weaker and she fell back on the couch.
Her head began to bang and her surroundings fogged up, but through all that, her father’s words replayed in her mind, confusing her, and then, her eyes landed on the glass of water and like a missing puzzle piece, she understood what was happening.
Her father had fucking drugged her!
Ivory felt anger flare in her body at the realization, but before she was even given the chance to say anything, her father has hoisted her
- up.
“This is for the best, don’t take it personal.”
For the best? What part of what he was doing was for the best? Ivory, although the ever curious child, didn’t want to find out the answer to this question.
She gathered her strength and shoved him away, but seconds later, her father has gotten hold of her again.
“Don’t be a brat,” He seethed. “Evangeline has sacrificed so much for you over the past few years, this is the least you should be doing for her!”
Evangeline? She was…she was involved in this?
Ivory felt a sting in her heart. Once again, her very own biological father, was picking the daughter of his mistress, over her.
He was offering her as a sacrifice despite being aware of everything she had suffered in foster
cate.
She really meant that little to him, didn’t she?
Ivory felt a pang of disappointment, but as quickly as it had come, she buried it and chose instead to focus on assessing the situation.
Her body felt a bit weak thanks to the drug and as her dragged her towards the room, she focused on identifying the drug.
By
the time she was halfway through with that mission, her father had arrived at the room and tossed her body on the king size bed.
“I wouldn’t have resulted to this,” he began arranging her position. “But if this is what I must
do to save Evangeline, then so be it.”
After arranging her position, he took a second to look over her body, before bending down and in one swift motion, he tore open the upper section of her dress.
Weakly, she rose her hand and quickly cover her chest. Her father however, paid no attention
to that.
He inst
just turned and began heading for the door.
“Be good and don’t mess this up for Evangeline, else, you’ll come to regret your actions so far.”
And with that, the sound of the door opening and closing reached Ivory’s ears, followed shortly by a click.
A small side of her panicked the moment she realized she has been locked in this room, drugged and offered as a sacrifice for Evangeline’s sake.
But before the panic attack could settle in, Ivory calmed herself down and listened to the voice in her head.
So far, what she knew was that the drug she had been given was fast acting date rape drug. It’s symptoms weren’t too bad, but it did leave her weak and a bit disoriented for a little while before the aphoristic effect kicked in.
If this was the case, then while she was still in control of her sexual urges, she needed to act fast and get out of this room before whoever would show up did.
As if on queue with her thoughts, the sound of the door clicking open sounded. Ivory,
immediately stiffened, but knew what she needed to do.
Closing her eyes, she forced her breath to even out and pretended to be asleep.
She heard heavy footsteps approaching before a voice spoke up.
“I guess they didn’t lie, she’s indeed as beautiful.”
Suddenly, Ivory felt fingers trail up her tights. She stopped her body from trembling in
disgust.
Not yet, she couldn’t act out just yet.
“Although it’s not the real deal, I’m surely going to enjoy myself today.” The voice chuckled darkly and seconds later, the sound of cloth rustling reached her ears.
Ivory felt the bed deep and when his presence lingered close by, she gathered her entire strength and in an all out, one time attack, kicked the man right between his legs.
A painful groan was released and Ivory used this time to sit up, grab the lamp from the nightstand and bring it down, right on the man’s head.
Chapter
The Impact caused the man to fall back and the lamp broke. Ivory used the opportunity to jump off the bed, ignoring her weak body, and rush for the door.
She could see freedom, her hand had just made contact with the door knob, when she felt something tug on her hair.
With a gasp, her head was forcefully pulled back, causing her neck and back to arch.
“Bitch!” The man growled. He was holding her by her hair, preventing her from escaping, while his other hand spun her around, granting ory the chance to identify her attacker.
Her brows furrowed when she saw it was Peter Mendez, but without wasting time, she took the chance and kicked him right between the legs again, much harder than the last.
Peter groaned and immediately released her. She wasted no time, and once again, rushed for the door, turning the knob and bolting out.
As she raced down the hallway, she could hear Peter cursing her, yelling and making a fuss,
but she didn’t care.
All she cared about and wanted to achieve, as she desperately stood in front of the elevator, pressing the button like a madwoman, was to do was escape and return home, there, she could find a nullifier for the drug.
And just as the elevator doors slid open, a voice, one filled with anger, reached her ears.
“Get the hell back here, you bitch!”
Ivory didn’t wait for him to appear. She pressed the button faster and wanted to jump in the very moment the doors slid open..
However, she froze at the sight that greeted her. It was Gadreel, standing alone in the elevator.
