No Other Option
After talking to his brother, Maxwell went back to his room, took something from the drawer of his closet, and returned to Ivy's room. She should be awake by now and the poison will start attacking her body after ten days.
To make things merrier, he will give Kate a gift as well.
A few seconds later...he appeared inside Ivy's room.
Ivy was wide awake already, staring at her visitor who is also her abductor and tormentor.
Maxwell walked to her side and sat on the bed. "How are you feeling now, my dear?" he asked gently.
"I'm feeling fine. Your poison is not working," she smiled triumphantly.
Maxwell grinned in amusement and tucked the strand of hair behind her ears cause it's blocking her eyes and pretty face.
"Ah, that one...It will only take effect after ten days. So get ready...I will bring you anytime today to your sister's side. Prepare yourself, my dear," he ran his fingers on her arms tenderly.
