Chapter 921: Ignorance is bliss while it lasts.
[Thirty minutes ago in Sorrento]
Ivy woke up in the same bedroom she was kept in, rubbing her eyes as she sat up on the bed. Looking around, her lips curved down in displeasure. Last night, she prayed that everything was just a dream. She cried and prayed until she eventually fell asleep. However, now it was proven that what had happened wasn’t a dream.
This was reality, her reality.
"Hah... I am a mess." Ivy ran her fingers through her hair, peeking down at herself. "Dane... or rather, Dimitri. I can’t believe this is happening."
It took her a while to truly accept this reality that slapped her across the face. However, she couldn’t keep denying it. She believed in Tiger. Therefore, she knew he would come and rescue her, no matter what. All she had to do was stay alive until then.
’Deep in my heart, I didn’t want to believe Tiger’s claim about his terrible past.’ Ivy flung her legs out of the bed, walking away to explore her room. ’When he told me about it, a part of me felt terrified. I’m only human, after all. It swayed me a bit. It makes me want to believe he was just joking to push me away. And when I sort of made terms with his past, I told myself it wasn’t probably as bad as he claimed it to be.’
Who would have thought the truth was much more sinister than what he claimed?
Ivy roamed around the vast bedroom, opening the doors that were connected to it. She already knew the entrance and exit of the room. Hence, she didn’t check it. Upon opening the door in the right corner of the room, the bathroom and shower came into view. Just as expected, it was quite elegant. Ivy then moved on to the door next to the bathroom, and there was a walk-in closet.
Ivy stepped in, furrowing her brows as she looked around the closet filled with luxury clothes, bags, shoes, and pieces of jewelry. She trudged toward the first rack and took out a piece of dress. It only took her a glance to know the dress fit her perfectly.
