Mirage - Episode 40

 

Ivy:

  I am nothing short of dumbfounded as both my nemesis stare me down. I turn to run back inside the house but gasp in shock as I see Noah behind me. How did he get in?
"There's no door I can't infiltrate ivy. You should know that" Noah spit at me. Anger and hatred blazing in his eyes.
"Noah baby. Why are you with these people? They were never there for you when I__" I try to touch him but he hits my hand away.
"Shut up! Don't you dare touch me with those murderous hands! And don't you think you can lie your way through this one!" he fires at me.
"You are going to jail b-tch!" The woman behind me says and fear paralyze me.
"Noah . Don't believe anything they have told you. You know I have always been here for you. They are the liars here. Baby, I love you" I step towards him and he recoils like I am poisonous.
"I said no more lies! I already have my memories back. And you ivy. You! You shot me. Right here." He says pointing to his chest with so much emotions in his voice.
"I trusted you and you stab me in the back then turn around to lie in my face. You are a snake ivy but that's not why I am here. Where is Minerva?" 
"What do you mean where is Minerva? She should be in prison

. Why look for her here?" I ask completely perplexed.
  My hair is suddenly grabbed from behind.
"Owww. Let go of me. I don't know where that woman is! Isn't she supposed to be in prison?" I spit out.
"You liar!" Noah yell and rush at me but Victor holds him back.
"Let me handle her Noah. She would regret ever messing with us after this." The woman says, her hold on my hair tightening.
"Get a chair Noah and baby, get me some fabric to restrain this fool" she tells Noah and Victor. Victor who looks like a lovesick puppy skips out of the room to do her bidding while Noah reluctantly walk out of the room.
"Let go of me b-tch! You are going to regret this! I would make you pay Even if it's the last thing I do!" I struggle to get free but then her knees connect with my spine. Sh-t! Pain runs up my back and I stop struggling.
"B-tch!" I grind out. Victor chuckles at my misery then hand some fabric to the deranged woman. They are all going to pay. They better not let me get away or they won't live to see the next break of dawn.
  Noah finally comes back with a chair and I am forced to sit on it.
"Baby, are you going to let her do this?" I ask, panick already setting in as the woman tie each of my legs to the two legs of the chair and fasten my hands behind the chair. This position I am in right now is so uncomfortable and I have a feeling this deranged woman is just starting.
"Just tell me where you took Minerva and all this would end." Noah says and I shake my head.
"I really don't know anything about her whereabouts. You gotta believe me" 
"Move back Noah. This is going to be fun." I start to struggle with the ropes as I see the woman bring a gun out of her pocket then starts rolling a silencer unto the gun.
"What is she doing? Noah, please don't let her do this. Please" I plead but Noah just turn his back to me.
"You animal! You caused this. I just wanted you to love me. All these wouldn't have happened if you just chose me. You should have died in that sea, you fool! That bullet I put in your chest should have killed you!"
"Ask her where she's keeping Minerva" the woman say to Victor as she point the gun at me.
"I don't f-cking know. Do your worse!" I fire at her.
"Okay" she smirk then pull the trigger.
"Owwww. Sh-t! God! My arm! You b-tch! You shot me!" The pain in my left shoulder is unbearable. Blood is soaking my shirt fast. Victor and Noah just watch me intently. The woman crouch down in front of me and sigh.
"Where is Minerva?"_ she ask again. Anger boils inside me and I spit in her face. She wipe the spit off with the back of her hand then straighten up.
"That's it. I am killing this woman" she spit out and I close my eyes. I know she can.
"Stop Sylvia. She doesn't know where Minerva is" I hear Victor say and I open my eyes slowly.
" Victor, search this house. I really don't trust this woman." she command Victor who leaves us. Noah looks down at me with disgust. He makes eye contact with me and I can see sadness in his eyes.
"What became of the woman I know? How did you become this way?" He asks and I look away from his eyes.
"You made me this way Noah! You should have loved me not that woman you only just met. I rather you die than let you end up with someone else.  You did it. You made me shoot you on that yacht and you made me order Victor's death. It is all on you." I spit out. The pain in my shoulder is dulling my senses.
"She isn't here" Victor announces as he  comes back out and I hear Noah cuss under his. 
"Damn it!" Noah yell and throw something at my wall. It breaks into pieces and falls on the ground. That was my favorite cup.
"She could be hiding Minerva somewhere else. Where are you keeping her? Please tell me" Noah cries out.
"Hey Noah. I didn't find Minerva but I found this. It's her phone and it has been ringing for some time now." Victor says and hand my phone to Noah. He looks down at the phone screen then up at me.
"Who is calling?" He questions  and put the phone in my line of vision. As soon as my eyes connect with the screen, my eyes go wide in fear. It is the goon I sent to spy on Noah in abraka.
"Answer it" He grind out and she shake my head nervously. Sylvia place her gun against my temple and I bite my lips nervously. She take the phone from Noah then click on loudspeaker.
"Hello" he says and I look up at the woman who I know will blow my brains out if I don't behave as asked.
"Yea" I force out Into the phone.
"Ma'am, I am here in abraka but Noah isn't home. There are some female clothes in here though but the house is empty." He says and I see Noah nose flare in anger.
"Okay. Get out of there. Your work there is done" I say then go to end the call.
"Wait. Hello, ma'am are you still there?" He asks and I deflate. What else is he going to say?
"Yea.

. I said your job is done!" I spit down the line
"Oh. I just thought you should know that I saw one of your father's car leaving the property as I was pulling in" he says then end the call.
"Of course! Your father has her. I swear I am going to end him when I get to him" Noah grind out.
"Where can we find the monster" Noah grab my chin harshly and I shake my head. I really don't know where he is.
"I have someone tailing her father, Noah. We should be able to get his location from him. I guess it is time to expose the both of them" Sylvia tells Noah and Victor nod. Sylvia finally untie me only to put me in handcuffs.
"Make the call" she tells Noah and he does. I listen in fear as Noah call the police and reports apprehending a murderer and drug dealer then gives them my address.
"Let us go. I just got the exact location of that man. He's at a dentist appointment right now. Let's go get him" Sylvia announces and they leave me here in the middle of my kitchen in handcuffs awaiting the arrival of the police.
"Noah!" I yell after them but he doesn't even turn back to look at me again.
 it's over for me.
