Ivy’s Divine Revenge

Chapter Three

Sean

“What are we going to do about her?” Charlene whispered as they stood at the door to his office, the glint in her eyes almost feral from the excitement of the evening’s activities as she glanced around as if to make sure they were still the only ones in the building, while she was afraid about being caught committing such a heinous act she was also thrilled at the danger and the power she now had over Ivy, she had a strong feeling there would be no turning back from this very moment, she was like a speeding train and nothing could stand in her way, today at last she would get to do what she had been fantasizing about doing for so long.

When Charlene first moved to Doylestown with her family at the beginning of eight grade, she had been sad about moving away from her old town where all her friends were when but her mother had told her that where they were moving to was a nicer town and she would get nicer new friends and more prettier dresses she had cheered up and actually began to look forward to the new school year, her father who was a carpenter had gotten a new job in a company where he would earn more money than he currently was and better take care of his small his family of three.

When she resumed at Doylestown High school she had been excited to see that what her mother had said was true, the students in this town came to school in nice shiny cars and before too long she had joined a group of friends and was having a good time until she met Ivy who was best friends with the boy that she liked Beau.

Beau was two classes head of both of them and very handsome, he was a jock and very popular among the students and from the very first day that Charlene had set her eyes on his beautiful blue eyes she had decided he would be her boyfriend, the only cloud on her otherwise sunny skies was his closeness to one of her classmates Ivy Addison who was so ugly and awkward that she could not believe Beau allowed her hang around him so much they even went home together.

Sean’s parents worked on the Addison’s horse farm which was reknowned for breeding some of the best race horses in the country, in Charlene’s opinion Ivy looked nothing like all the wealth that her parents owned, in fact, she did not think she deserved it, she was a gangly teenager with crooked teeth and reddish gold hair that lacked luster and was always fizzy and poofed up due to the weather, she was always in the library or at home, she would not even attend any parties and if she did Beau would be there by her side, what further annoyed Charlene was that Ivy’s parents were extremely rich but she seemed not to care about their status.

When eventually Charlene started dating Beau and she tried to get rid of Ivy he was not having it and would instead insist on all three of them going out together because he did not want ivy to feel left out because she did not have any friends, Charlene resorted to bullying Ivy so that she would stay away and when eventually Beau found out that the reason why his friend Ivy had been staying away from him had been because his girlfriend Charlene and her friends had repeatedly bullied her and warned her to stay off him he broke up with her and about ten years later and her dislike for Ivy had grown into a seething hate after she had gone on to move to New York and came back with a handsome husband while she had remained in Boylestown and had a string of miserable relationships.

The last one which had recently ended when her rich lover decided to get back with his wife, he had dumped Charlene and she had to apply to The Addison’s company reluctantly because she was fast running out of money, she needed to get a job to be able to take care of her needs temporarily until she found another rich man who was willing to foot her bills.

She had considered it her luck when she got hired and got to work under Ivy’s handsome and charming husband Sean, in a few weeks after she started working they were having crazy s*x with each other any chance they could get in secret and it had felt like glorious revenge, when Sean told her that he was tired of being married to Ivy, the only reason he was still with her was because of her money and he wanted to get her to sign away all of her money over to him before he left her and found someone who truly understood him.

Charlene saw the twin darkness in the both of them and decided that she would be the Bonnie to his Clyde, the fact that she would be taking away her arch enemy Ivy’s husband her made her ecstatic and now that the opportunity had presented itself to her she would not hesitate to take advantage of it before it slipped away like Beau had all those years ago, she was excited and she could already imagine herself as Mrs Sean Noah.

Sean grinned at her and kissed her quickly on her lips, “we need to wait until the guard leaves which will be about an hour from now and then we take her out of the office then clean up any evidence of her coming here, I will erase anything that the camera might have caught and then we will leave the office together, I will drive your car while you drive hers and we will find somewhere to kill and bury her before we abandon her car somewhere far from there where they can find it after, we will make it seem like she went after a lover and absconded with him, and by the time they find her body we would be long gone with all of her money.”

He grinned impishly at Charlene and she grinned back, she loved how his mind worked, all they had to do was wait.

They walked into the office and she saw no sign of Ivy, as she turned to ask Sean where she was she heard muffled sounds in the inner room of the office and she turned and grinned at Sean, he gestured towards the feast that Ivy had brought and they both descended on the food with gusto, they had intended to order take out but her appearance with this spread had saved them the need, it was like food delivery.

About an hour later Sean stealthily crept down the stairs and when he saw that the guard had gone for the night he ran to his desk and powered up the computer, he quickly scanned the videos and deleted any clips of Ivy coming into the office then checked again to be sure he had cleared any evidence before he shut off the computer and ran back up the stairs, when he got back to the office he instructed Charlene to pick up everything that Ivy had brought with her then he went and opened the inner room where he had ivy tied up, when she saw him she glared hatefully and he laughed and punched her head hard knocking her unconscious then he flung her across his shoulder and went out through the door Charlene held open and they went out of the office to the car park and when Charlene opened the boot to Ivy’s car he laid her unconscious body in and noticed that she had lingerie on, he sneered at it.

She was not his type at all, he preferred voluptuous women and had only pretended to want her so that she could fall in love with him, he was glad that he would not have to have s*x with her anymore, he had been disgusted trying to pretend to adore her body, it had been enough to make him consider leaving her alone.

After driving for about an hour Sean turned off in front of a bushy path, at first glance it did not even look like a road with its high grass, he had stumbled on it a couple of months ago while on a drive, he had thought it would be a perfect place to hide a body and as he parked by he side and stopped Charlene he got into the passenger seat beside her and pointed out the road to her.

They drove down the road and he realized that the grassy road led to a swamp and he did not need to bother killing or burying ivy’s body then having to look for another place to hide the car, he could simply leave her in the boot of her car and push it down into the swamp and it would do all the work for him, she would be submerged along with her car in the dark murky waters, no one would find it for a long long time.

He motioned to Charlene to get out of the car then he put it in neutral before he went out and pushed the car into the water and he watched as the car slowly began to sink, he listened with a smile when he heard Ivy frantically beating the boot, nothing could save her now, she was going to drown and that car would be her casket.

It would not be found for a very long time. When he could see very little left of the car he turned and walked back toward the main road where Charlene waited and together they got into her car, she got into the driver’s side and he got in beside her then they headed back into the town and back to the office where Sean remained and pretended to work the rest of the night while Charlene went back home.

Ivy

I woke up in the dark with a splitting headache, when I tried to stretch i realized I could not move because my wrists were tied up and I was also in a cramped space, whatever i was in was moving fast and I had to take a moment to remember the happenings of this evening at the office.

The last thing i could remember was being in Sean’s office, i began to shake in fear when I wondered where I was, I tried to listen to everything around me and I could tell that I was in the boot of a car, most likely my own car and they were taking me to heaven knows where, probably to kill me and hide the evidence.

I wanted to start pounding on the cover of the boot and thought better of it, it was futile as no one would hear me while they were driving so fast and moreover I did not want them to know that I was awake, maybe I could catch whoever came to open the booth unawares.

Soon the car stopped and someone got out and got back in, i could hear the someone else as they walked away from the car before it continued moving for a short while on an uneven road then i heard the car door open and slam shut once more, i prepared herself in a defensive stance so that i could attack whoever came to open the boot and possibly escape however i soon felt the car moving slowly and my heart lurched and i wondered what was happening until i felt water begin to seep into the dry boot and I realized with terror what was happening.

Sean was going to drown me in me own car, if not because of how serious the situation was I would have clapped at his ingenuity, if I was buried in water it would take a long time for me to be found if I was ever found even, i began to bang on the top of the boot in a frenzied way and screamed in terror as the water kept rising and after what felt like forever and fists were bruised and my arms ached from beating the car, the water began to cover my head, and i sputtered as I took my last breath and I cried for my father and cursed the man who had sworn that he would never hurt me but had now sent me to this watery grave.

I woke up abruptly with a huge gasp as i greedily filled in my lungs with some much needed air and panted as i sat up in a bed and looked around the room which had been all done in white and when a woman in scrubs walked in i realized that i was in a hospital room and tears of gratitude filled my eyes, i was alive, somehow i had been saved from that car, someone must have seen Sean drown me and they had saved my life.

The woman looked at the chart she held before she looked at me in pity and said, “I am so sorry Mrs Noah, when the paramedics brought you you had been bleeding too much and we were unable to save the baby, We need to know who the hospital should call to come take you home, we could not find your emergency contacts on file.”

I narrowed my eyes and stared uncomprehendingly at the woman, what baby? She continued speaking and i was hit with deja vu, this had happened already, something was very wrong right now.
