Chapter 23
After the school started, except for the class time, the two people were almost inseparable.
Ivy quickly adapted to her new life and gradually left behind all the things from the past.
Ivy’s mother would occasionally call and talk about trivial matters.
She said that after Rod went to Lysmeria, he came back suddenly and announced the cancellation of his marriage with Yvette.
Yvette refused to agree and came to his house several times, but he ignored her. The two of them were in a constant cold war.
She said that Rod recently had a big argument with Rod’s father and was even threatening to quit the Archer Group for no reason.
Ivy remained silent, without expressing any opinions.
After all, now she is only connected to the Archer family through Ivy’s mother.
As long as Mom was fine, she didn’t care about whatever happened to the Archer family.
After hanging up the phone, Ivy looked at the time and sent Bruce a message asking him what time he finished class.
He quickly replied, saying that there was a dinner in the afternoon and asked her not to wait.
Ivy understood and packed her bag, then left the school alone.
She was holding her phone and wondering what to eat when a car suddenly stopped by the roadside.
She heard a sound and lifted her head. Before she could see clearly, she was grabbed by a force of gravity and dragged into the car.
In an instant, feelings of fear and despair flooded Ivy’s heart.
She struggled with all her strength, biting the person who was holding her, but heard a familiar muffled groan.
It was Rod.
After realizing the situation, Ivy stopped struggling and spoke in a cold voice.
“Rod, what were you doing?”
Hearing the anger in her tone, Rod also stopped pretending and chuckled lightly.

“Kidnapping, Ivy, can’t you see it?”
It was said to be a kidnapping, but when he saw her skin turning red from being pinched, he let go of his hand and returned her freedom.
Ivy struggled to sit up and looked at the scenery rushing past outside the window, trying to determine her own location.
The direction of the lane was towards the sea.
Rod wanted to take her away from Cyrenth.
After realizing this, her heart sank and she furrowed her brows, lifting her head.
After seeing that gaunt face, she showed some surprise in her eyes.
Less than a month had passed, how did he become like this?
Rod also noticed her shocked expression.
In those tired eyes, filled with bloodshot veins, there was a hint of gloom.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you recognize your brother anymore? You haven’t sent me a single message in a month, Ivy. How could you be so heartless?”
His tone, although still casual as before, Ivy knew that it was all deliberately created by him.
To be precise, in front of her and her mother, he always wore the mask of a playboy.
And the person who appeared in front of her at this moment was the truest Rod.
Took off the considerate and sunny mask.
All the darkness and madness that had been suppressed deep inside were exposed in front of her.
She looked at the person in front of her, who was completely unrecognizable, and couldn’t help but
ask.
“Do we have to do it this way, brother?”
Upon hearing the title “brother,” Rod’s smile froze on his face.
He raised his hand and pinched/her chin, as if trying to control his own emotions, and his facial skin
twisted into a knot.
“Don’t call me brother! Ivy, from today onwards, I am your husband. I will take you to Aurivelle, and we will get married just like we promised before!”

Until this moment, Ivy finally confirmed.
Rod, he was really crazy.
As she watched the madness surging on his face, she felt it was incomprehensible and couldn’t help
but scream out.
“I didn’t want to! Rod, I didn’t want to marry you at all!”
Word for word, sentence by sentence, clear pronunciation, and resounding delivery.
Rod’s eyes grew colder in this sentence.
He approached her, looking directly into her pupils, and retorted her word by word.
“No matter if you are willing or not, Ivy, I have said it, you can only belong to me alone.”
