Authoress POV
     Mrs Kings went to Ivy's room and sat on her bed directly beside her. "You know your father didn't mean it that way he was just.."
     
    "Just what!!, so that I will be used as a material for the company to excel and  the next thing is that I would be disposed like a piece of trash" Ivy interrupted.
     
    "That is a mean thing to say about your parents"Mrs Kings replied.
     
    "That is a wrong way of treating your child"
       
   " I understand how you feel" Mrs Kings replied.
     
      "I don't think you understand, like put yourself in my shoes." Ivy retorted.
      
   "I was once in your shoes My father did the same thing for me and that is how i ended up with your father that was long before your father established his own company."
    
    "Maybe that is why your relationship is in a mess" she replied aggressively.
    
    "Ivy!! Remember it is not for us, it is for your company to be"Mrs king cautioned.
   
      " im.. Im sorry it is just that I already have a job so it is not for my company" Ivy said and faced the other side of the bed.
    
    "I will give you time to think about it" she replied and left the room.
   
    Ivy tried sleeping but she couldn't, her mind continued going back to today's discussion so she decided to go through the social media as she was doing this a email entered was sent. Sheopened it on her laptop and was shocked.
                                                           Ainsoft company,
                                                          USA.
Dear Ivy King's.
     We are sorry to inform you that you have been removed from the staff list this is because we realized that you do not qualify for this job and there was a mixup somewhere. You can apply somewhere else we are sure that you would be employed there.
                                                                Thank you for understanding.
                                                                 The CEO.
   Ivy POV
    "What!!! Why do I feel that this is my parents doing or no it can't they can not be that desperate" I said and picked up my list of what I planned on buying.
   
        A set of new bags
       Gossip wristwatches.
      A set of nice leggings.
      A set of nice gowns.
      A set of nice earrings.
     A set of bracelets.
     A set of necklaces.
    A set of .....
   
      It is not like my parents don't have the money but my card had been blocked.
 
     But Ivy make a good choice here are you going to go for the arranged marriage maybe I should, I would be able to get the money to buy all these my wants and besides I would have a job I would consider been the CEO of The Kings company and besides he is handsome, has a cute smile, Stop!! Ivy Stop!! What are you thinking of? Did I just hear myself calling him handsome or I heard wrong.
   
      I guess I should go for it but it would have rules because I will not marry him for love maybe I should write down the rules now. I moved to my table and chair beside the nightstand and I picked up a pen and started writing down the rules......
     
     It is another bright morning and I didn't set the alarm but my body woke me up I guess my body system is already used to waking up early, I went to the bathroom and took my bath, brushed my teeth and I wore a baby pink blouse on a white trousers I wore a flip flop and came for breakfast.
       
        "Good morning dad, good morning mum" I greeted them but I got no reply am I the only one that feels that they are deliberately ignoring me. Just then my brother walked into the dinning room.
    
   "Good morning big sis" he greeted me and faced my parents "Dad Good morning, Mum good morning"
   
     "Good morning sweetheart" They chorused.
  
    Yeah I was actually right. I drew out a chair and sat on it just then Addy the cook came in with a serving pot and a tray that is filled with eating cutleries, She drew out a chair and sat on it.
      
     Mrs Kings took the serving spoon and served everyone except me fried potatoes and pepper sauce then she sat to eat,

     "Mum you haven't served me"i protested.
      
    "Can you hear something I am just hearing the sound of breeze " she told my father and Ryan laughed. Gosh!! What's funny I feel like breaking his mouth so that he won't be able to laugh any longer.
   
     "Let's be realistic here, serve your self!" Says Mr Kings.
  
    I picked up the serving spoon and i served myself, We all ate in perfect silence except Mr and Mrs Kings who kept on chatting , bringing Ryan to the topic and deliberately ignoring me. If they knew my final decision they would deeply regrets what they are doing know.
      
   "Mum, Dad I had made up my mind" I said and got no reply.

    " Do you want to know my final decision" I continued.
      
    "No, keep it to yourself" says Mrs King's. Probably they thought I would say something like this 'Dad mum I had made up my mind I don't plan on getting married to him I don't want to be used as pawns in your your business' but fortunately for them it is the opposite of it.
     
    "I am going for it" I said.
      ******************************************
     (Ryan's POV)
    Oh no this drama would soon end, how I wished it lasted forever, Please don't say it,Ivy don't say it please, Ivy paused and stared at me for some seconds it was as if she could clearly read my mind or is it showing on my face?
          
    "I have made up my mind to go for it" she said.
       
  "Oh darling you made the right choice" She said and rushed towards Ivy in order to peck Ivy on the cheek.
          
    "And I have decided to take up the company" Ivy released the bombshell.
    
    What!! Just when I taught I was going to be the CEO of the company.
     
     " You made the right choice and I am sure you would not regret ever taking up these course" Mr King's commended.
     
     " I thought you were not selfish and you were a good caring older sister but I was wrong. " Ryan pointed an accusing fingers towards Ivy.

        "Only if you were a serious type and not a Playboy type The company would have been given to you. We can't let's this company to come to his downfall because of your incompetence." Mrs Kings blurted out.
     
     " You are showing partiality towards Ivy " Ryan replied.
     
     "Its not about been partial but it us about been realistic" Mrs Kings replied.
       
    "I hate you all!!" Ryan said and stormed out of the dinning room.
       
     "Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!" Mr kings called out to him but no reply.
        
    "Let him be, As we were saying before we were interrupted by some irresponsible idiot." Says Mrs King's
       
       "Never in your life should you ever call my son irresponsible" Mr King's scolded his wife.
         
     "I am just stating the facts and nothing else" Mrs Kings replied.
       
     "You should stop all those trash because do you know how he feels now" Says Mr King's.
       
     "I don't care how he feels now because he is not even my son that I would be thinking about him" Mrs Kings replied
           
     "I curse the day I met you".
            
     " And I curse the day you brought that Playboy into our house to start living in the same roof with me and my daughter "
         
       "Did you know you are a selfish woman you only care about your self you did not care about the boys heart" Mr King's replied.
         
   "Ooh! Pot calling kettle black!! You are the selfish one here because you did not think about your wife and your kid at home when you had a one nightstand with a lady at the bar." After Mr kings heard those words he could not continue any longer when Mrs kings continued " your fuel tank is empty right? And what was the result of the one nightstand, The young girl you slept with died during labour but are you not ashamed of your self you slept with a sixteen year old girl a big man like you"
        
    As these was going on Ivy sneaked out of the dinning room to her brother's room after trying to open the door with the door knob and it didn't open she realized that the door was locked,She knocked in the door but she got no reply all her efforts were abortive.
