Ivy Morgan POV:

I wasn't supposed to be at the opening of Blackwood Group in Los Angeles, but my boss decided to add me to the list of servers at the last minute.

I wanted to spend my day off with my boyfriend, Derrick, since it's been a while since we last saw each other. We were supposed to see each other, but he cancelled again, so I had no choice. I prepared and left for work.

The Blackwood company opening ceremony was about to start, and I could see guests, celebrities, influencers walking in already and gorgeously dressed. The men wore sharp black and blue suits while the women dressed elegantly.

I wondered when I would be able to attend such events as a guest, not as a server. Derrick's job gave him this opportunity, but he always gave one excuse why I couldn't be with him.

I sighed as I thought about him; he had changed from the man I knew two years ago.

"Ivy," Grace called out excitedly."I heard the CEO of Blackwood Group is very handsome but intimidating, they also said he has branches in the U.S and also in London. That's a big man, you know," she said in one breath

"Grace, we just got here, and you have complete information about our host?"I questioned with a smile on my face because Grace was very nosy.

"Trust me, I can't wait to see him in flesh and blood, she smiled

As the event was about to start, I quickly excused myself as I needed to use the restroom.

I walked around the hotel, looking for the restroom, and luckily I saw a security that directed me.

As I walked, I admired everything here; it screamed luxury, and just as I was about to take the left corner to the convenience, I saw familiar faces.I frozen the moment I recognised the faces.

Derrick, my boyfriend

Ariana, my best friend

Derrick's arms were wrapped around Aria, my best friend. Their lips locked hungrily as they were both lost in it.

Tears dropped down as I watched my boyfriend of two years cheating on me with my best friend. I met Arianna in high school, and after graduation, she traveled abroad because her parents were rich, but she came back a year ago. I was grateful to her when she told me that her father's company was hiring, and I begged her to consider my boyfriend, who was a graduate.

Aria always had something negative to say about Derrick; she never believed he loved me, or so I thought. She always looked down on him, and the same person who looked down on my boyfriend is in his arms, kissing him so passionately.

They felt my presence and looked in my direction with shocked expressions

"Ivy, Ivy, Derick called as he tried to move close to me

Tears filled my eyes, as I stopped him from coming closer, my eyes locked with Aria, could see she wasn't remorseful but tried to hide her face.

" Let me explain, Ivy, Derrick said as he tried to move closer again, I removed my left shoes and threw them at them as I ran out.

He cancelled most of our outing, always complaining about stress but that wasn't the issue. He was having an affair.

It made sense now that Derrick would rather be with people in his class or more. I ran out of the hotel, forgetting that I had a job to do.

"Ivy, Ivy, where are you going? Grace called out as she saw me running out, and at this moment, nothing made sense to me.

Out of the hotel’s grand double doors, my one leg heels clicked frantically against the pavement as I crossed the street without looking with my one leg with shoes I didn’t see the black car until headlights flared across my face and bumped into me.

I fell down,my hands bruised and my body burning with

shock as I was badly injured.

Elias POV:

"Oh, for fuck sake!" I roared furiously

I quickly rushed out of the car, cursing under my breath at the stupidity of my driver.

As I looked at her, her face was filled with tears, and I thought she had fainted. I quickly picked her up as I noticed she was still breathing and rushed her to the back seat; there was no time to waste.

" You are fired, Jacob. Move away." I grabbed the keys, and immediately the reporters that was invited to capture the event started taking Another fucking scandal

"Fuck" I shouted as my fist tightened on the steering wheel of my car

I picked up my phone and called my doctor

"Have an emergency? Get your team outside the hospital now? I said.

Today is supposed to be a very important day in my life, but the stupid girl had to ruin it with her carelessness and I wasn't going to let it slide.

As I got to the hospital,they were outside and d rushed to pick up the girl.

I came down, was about to follow them when I felt something underneath my foot.

I picked it up, and it was a tag.
