Love And Revenge

Chapter 3

Ivy Pov

I've just finished my last dance class. I've cleaned up the studio, but I've been so stressed since finding out that I'm about to be married off to someone I don't even know, so instead of thinking about it, I'm just going to do what I do best and have a dance I put on my contemporary music and get ready into my moves, as i turn doing a plie fan, feeling like someone is watching me i slowly stop and look around but no one is here, weird, i carry on with my routine, still having that feeling that im being watched, after i finish my routine, i grab my stuff, set the alarm, turn the light off, walk outside and lock the doors.

I decided to walk today because the studio isn't that far from home, the streets are quiet and peaceful, a few people walking around, but it's nice and relaxing. When I get home, I open the door, kick my shoes off and head to the bathroom to take a nice relaxing bath. As I get out and walk out of the bathroom, i look at my phone. 6 missed calls from a number I don't know, 4 from Alex and 5 from my mum. What the hell, just as I'm about to ring my mum back, I hear banging and shouting at my front door, i walk to it, “ who is it?” “ It's Noah.” He sounds annoyed. I open it to find a pissed off Noah. “ What do you want?” slightly annoyed that he has been banging on my door, he runs his hand through his hair. “ Can I come in? Everyone has been trying to call you ``I let him in. “ Yeah I know. I was in the bath, hence why I'm in a towel, why has everyone been calling me for?” he looks at me with an expression i can't pinpoint “noah?” he gets out of his trance, was he checking me out? “ i came over because your fathers company has had a breech in their system, someone tried to hack it, and once we trance what they where after, it had your address and your companies address” my breathe hitches alittle remembering how i felt like someone was watching me at the studio, “ what is it Ivy?” he walks over to me, standing infront of me with a concerned look on his face, should i tell him, no im sure it was nothing, “ nothing, dont worry, ill keep a look out and ill make sure my security cameras are working “ he nods “ ill let your brother know your ok” “ thanks” he walks to the door and opens it and then looks back at me “if you need me call me” i nod and he walks out.

What the hell just happened? Why would someone want my address and business address? I rang my brother, “ Alex, who would want that information?” getting straight to the point, I haven't got time for stupid games. “ I don't know ivy, I'm looking into it with Noah.” Ok let me know if anything comes up” “will do”, after our conversation, i head to bed to sleep.

I wake up, thinking about the day ahead, i have my wedding rehearsal today. I groan, I don't want this even if he is hot, but I don't know him. He can seem sweet, like when he came here last night to check on me. My phone rings it's my mother. “ Ivy dear, you have a dress fitting in half an hour, near your studio” “ ok i'll meet you there”, i head to the bathroom and have a shower, once done, i go to my closet, i pick out some clothes and put them on, im wearing my dark blue skinny jeans with a white t-shirt with my black leather jacket and some pumps, i put light makeup on and put my hair up in a messy bun, and head out the door, i walk to the wedding boutique, i find my mum, evelyn and my brother there, i walk over “ hey guys how are you all?” evelyn hugs me “ hi sweetie nice to see you again, i smile “ you too mrs baldwin” “ please call me evelyn” i smile and nod, my mother comes over “ hi dear” she kisses my cheek, i smile at her “ hey sis, ready for tomorrow” i look at him feeling nothing but nerves and worry but i nod.

The assistant hands me a dress and i go try it on. I look in the mirror, the dress is beautiful. It's white and has a sweetheart neckline, with an a-line silhouette, with floral lace with a layer of misty tulle. It's so beautiful. I walk out in front of my mum,brother and evelyn and I hear little grasps come from them. I turn to my mum, who is getting watery eyes “ don't start crying mum, it's just a dress” “ you look stunning ivy” i smile at her, my brother clears his throat, “ you look amazing ivy” i smile at him and evelyn looks happy “ beautiful dear” “ thank you everyone, i do like this one so i'll take it” i head back, the assistant comes to see if i need any changes which it doesn't, i get changed and head to the till, my mother comes over, “this is on your father” i shake my head “ i don't need anything from him” she sighs “ no you don't but you are doing this for him so he can pay for it” i nod, i guess it's the least he can do but most of all i would love for me and my dad to be how we use to be. I turn and head to my brother, who pulls me into a hug. I whisper so only he can hear “ I wish I didn't have to do this” “ I wish I could do something, sis”, i hold back tears and nod. I have that creepy feeling again. I look up at my brother, “ I'll be right back, just going to check something out”. He nods, I walk out of the shop and find nothing unusual, everyone comes outside. “ I guess we will see you tonight ivy for rehearsal”. I nod “ I'll see you later”.

A few hours later and it's time to get ready for the rehearsal, I take a shower, dry my hair, and leave it down, put light makeup on, then choose something to wear. I look through my closet and come across my two-piece royal blue dress. That will do. I put it on and look in the mirror, it look nice. I'm just glad the skirt has a slit in it. I put a pair of gold heels on. I'm finally finished. I walk to my garage which car should i take. I'll use my Range rover sport. I only use this car for formal things. It had to be a sport though, a nice VR Carbon Edition- 5.0L V8 Supercharged, something special. I smile to myself as I get in. Just as I was about to turn the engine on, my phone goes off, it's noah “ hey noah” “ hey, just wondering how long your going to be as people have been waiting”. He is annoyed, nevermind “ ill be there in 15 minutes” “ ok, ill wait outside for you” I hang up, ugh, cant be dealing with this.

15 minutes later, I arrive at my parents and I see Noah is waiting outside as I pull into the drive, when he see me he walks over and opens my door for me, “ thanks” he looks at me with a little smile on the corner of his mouth “ how many cars do you own, and are they all beast” i laugh “ just the two and they are both beast” we both laugh, as we walk in, we stop at the dining area, he turns to me “ Ivy, we are going to have to act like a couple” i sigh “ suppose your right, i still can't believe we are doing this, it's not right” i sigh and look down, he puts a finger under my chin and lifts it so i face him “ i know what you mean but if we try and be friends it's better then hating each other” i stare at his handsome face, his brown eyes are so beautiful, “ true” “oh and by the way you look stunning”he smiles and kisses the corner of my mouth, oh my gosh, i look at him, my breathe hitch, why the hell have i got butterflies in my stomoach, what the f**k just happened? “ thank you…” He takes my hand and we walk in together.
