Chapter 18

Richmond, Virginia, USA

Ivy's POV

"I'm just so tired!" I exclaimed as we reached the hotel room in Virginia.

"Oh yeah me too" he replied. We entered the room and he went directly to bed.

"I'm sleeping!" he said, yawning. 

"Just get up and help me in setting things up!" I yelled at him, whilst taking out the things from the suitcase.

"Oh sure," he said and I heard him getting up and coming near me.

Then he swiftly lifted me up!

"Hey, you- keep me DOWN NOW!" I yelled.

But he then kept his hand near my knees and the other under my neck and lifted me up in a bridal style. Then he leaned and kissed me.

"You are so bad!" I said. He chuckled.

"If kissing you is bad then I am the worst person you'll ever meet," he said.

I blushed and then kissed him. "And I can be your bad girl"

"Yeah princess," he said. I smiled and then he put me on the bed.

"Now you have to sleep. I will arrange everything afterward" he said and kissed my forehead. 

I smiled and nodded. Then he hugged me and I fell asleep.

3 hours later

I woke up and Andrew was sleeping. I messaged Felix to confirm her location. 

He confirmed that she was still 1200 Semmes apartment. 

I got up and then wrote a note so that in case he wakes up, he wouldn't worry. 

"Hey, Love 

I'm just going out for some work. 

I hope you slept well because now you're going to be bored without me. 

I'll return fast. 

Bye, Ivy" 

I went from there in a cab.

I reached this place and it's beautiful. Anyway, I have to find Sophia. I went inside and there was an office. 

I entered and asked the lady about which apartment is Sophia's. 

She told me and then I went to her apartment. I was quite nervous.. and scared. 

But I rang the doorbell and she opened the door. 

I've seen this face. 

Yes, she is Sophia. 

"umm.. hello?" she said. 

"Oh hey! I am Ivy" I said. "You're Sophia?" I asked. 

"Yeah, but why?" 

"I am here to talk about Andrew," I said. 

She looked shocked for a moment, but then I saw guilt in her eyes. 

"I-I am so sorry for what I did.. I-" 

"Let's talk inside," I said. She nodded and took me inside. 

We sat in the living room and she brought me tea. 

"So," I said. 

"Listen- I... I am sorry.." she said. 

"Sorry? You destroyed them for decades! They were enemies after what you did!" I said. 

She started crying. 

"I... I know. I-I am sorry" 

"You regret it?" I asked. 

"Ye-s," she said. "But who are you to him?" 

"I'm Andrew's fiancé" 

"Oh," she said. "You know right? That nothing happened that day.." 

"I know. I know who Andrew is. He respects girls more than anything... Even after what you did" I said. 

She lowered her head. 

"I-I want to make it better," she said. 

"Then tell the truth to Antonio," I said. She looked at me and then shook her head. 

"I… I don't have any nerve to go in front of him again… After I ran away" 

"You can," I said. "He still loves you" 

"But he will hate me once he knows the truth," She said. 

"And maybe he forgives you. Listen. Telling the truth can make it better, everything" I said. 

She looked at me for a moment and then nodded in acceptance. 

"Y-You are so good. Andrew is lucky" she said. 

I smiled. "I hope you make everything fine"

"I will try my best," she said and stood up. 

"So where is he now?" she asked. 

"Well, in California" 

"Oops that's far" she exclaimed. "I'll go back and tell everything, I swear" 

"Thank you for your help, Sophia" 

"You don't hate me?" she asked me.

"Everyone does mistakes, Sophia. Now that you regret it, no one will hate you" 

"Thank you!" She said and hugged me. 

I said my byes and left the apartment and went back to my hotel. As I entered the room, I saw him sitting and staring at the note. 

"What happened?" I asked him. 

He got startled and then looked at me. "Nothing" 

"Tell me" 

"It was really boring without you" 

"Oh I know," I said winking. 

He smirked and came near but I took two steps back. 

"Not. Now. Go and change, we are going out" I said. He smiled and then went to the restroom. 

I wish that Sophia apologizes and that Antonio forgives her and understands Andrew. They have been apart for a good amount of time. They deserve to be together now. And Sophia... Well, she looks that she is regretting, so she might really make things better.
