The Alexander will

UNLEASHING NEW PLANS

*EVERYDAY CLUB *— 7:00 PM*

Ivy laughed for the first time in days. Mia had forced her out, and now she was surrounded by takeout boxes and her two best friends — Mia and Nora

“You need this,” Mia said, pushing a slice of pizza at her. “No Cove, no will, Just us.”

"You know I always wondered how u ended up being siblings with Zayn"Nora said too as she held up her phone. “Smile. I’m posting this. Let the internet know Hot Ivy is not crying over some inheritance.

"Ivy are you okay?"Mia asked.You look carried Way like there's something eating you up.

"Ivy.."Nora tapped her gently, don't tell me u didn't hear what Mia was saying a few seconds ago."Wassup with you?"

Ivy looked at them and just let out a heavy sigh

Ivy’s phone buzzed seconds later.

*Unknown Number*: Lucas Gravesite. 9PM. Come alone. It’s about your father.

Her blood ran cold.Who could this be she asked but she got no answer.

“What is it?” mia asked, noticing her face.

“Nothing,” Ivy said, standing. “I have to go.”She said as she dashed out without waiting for a reply from her friends.

"I really hope she's okay"Mia said with a sigh,"I guess we are done here", grabbing her purse she head out.

"Wait up!"Nora shouted as she scurried after her

*THE VAULT — 2:30 PM*

Stacy scrolled through i********:, her nails tapping. There it was.

Hot Ivy posted: Girls’ day 💅 with @miarivera @nora.k_

Ivy, smiling in a club, surrounded by her two friends,Carefree. While her brother has to go around and beg for some true love all because of her,I wonder what Dad saw in her or maybe she seduced him she thought.

Stacy’s jaw ticked. “She’s partying. While I’m trying to secure Cove's inheritance.

She grabbed her phone, opened a new text.

To: Zara — new number*

The Vault. Back room. 9PM. I can get you what you want,if you are ready to pay the price.she clicked send with a wide smirk on her face.

"Good".

She smiled.Zara wants Cove. I want Ivy gone. Let’s see who’s smarter and who gets the inheritance.

*ALEXANDER PENTHOUSE — 3:15 PM*

Zara was still there.

She managed to sneak her way in through Stacy who begged Cove one her behalf to let her stay in for a few days.And a few days is all she need to get things done and make her place.

Cove walked past her like she was furniture. No eye contact. No words. Just grabbed his keys and headed for the elevator.

“Cove... I made lunch"she called out.

“let us talk over lunch.....”she didn't get to finish as the elevator doors closed in her face

Zara kicked the coffee table. “Bastard!”

Her phone buzzed.

*Unknown Number*: _The Vault. Back room. 9PM. I can get you what you want. — A Friend_

Her eyes narrowed. _What I want?_ That was Cove. And the money.

She grabbed her purse. “Fine. Let’s play.” _She had no idea it was Stacy._

*LUCAS GRAVESITE — 4:00 PM*

The cemetery was quiet. Ivy walked alone between marble headstones, her heart pounding.

Mr. Bentley stood by a large black headstone: *LUCAS ALEXANDER.

“You came,” he said, not turning around.

“You said it was about my father,” Ivy said. “Talk.”

Bentley finally faced her. His eyes were tired. “Your father called me a night before he died sending a video clip which is to be added to the video clip will. On it it says he don’t know how things will go although he’s hoping you two would be together but if after one year Cove doesn’t find true love or agree to get married to you willingly, half of his assets will be given to you and the rest to NYC charity.”

Ivy’s lips parted. “Why are you telling me this now? Why didn’t you say so on the will reading day?”

Mr. Bentley looked at her calmly. “It’s because I don’t want you to be surprised tomorrow, as they will be another meeting concerning this will.”

Ivy stood totally speechless by what she just heard.

She wondered if she was truly a girl Mr.Alexander picked from the streets or is there more to the story.

THE VAULT 9PM

Zara stared at the location in her phone as she stepped down from the taxi,who meets up with someone in such lonely place she thought.

"I hope the risk is worth it"she said as she went through the back door to a room.

"Anyone here?,I guess it was trick or something"she said and immediately turned to leave when the light of the room came on.

"You?"she said as she stared at Stacy sitting on a chair at the end of the room

"Yes,Me". Stacy replied.

"I hope it's worth it"Zara said "after u threw me out from your brother's house like trash".

"Well aren't you one?" And I later I helped u get back in.. is this the thank you I get?"

Stacy said with a scoff.

"Okay I'm out of here"Zara said turning round to take her leave,but was stopped again.

"Well,I guess you are not interested in being an Alexander after all"Stacy said.

Zara eyes lit with excitement as she turned.

"what do u want".she asked.

"Nothing much but it's something that will benefit us both"Stacy said with a smirk.

"I will give u a call on the plans but for now u hv to keep getting close to Cove".

"That's no big deal but I hope what you are planning is really good".

Stacy didn't reply but just turned and walked off.

"What could she possibly be up to by wanting to help me all a sudden"she thought to herself as she flagged down a taxi to get her back to Cove's house.

She immediately dialed a number in her phone but the person didn't pick.

"You i***t pick up"she yelled,then decided to send a message instead

"Meet me at the restaurant by 7pm, I have what u like"she clicked send as she tossed the phone aside.

"I have to step up my own plans, can't trust that girl"..
