             LOS ANGELES

         IVY RIVERA HOME

“And when I got my first job as a waitress in a bar, I thought things would get better but it didn’t. I became a homeless teenage pregnant girls and for sometimes I had to sleep secretly at the bar. I worked overtime and even went to night school because I had hoped that soon everything would fall into place for good. Through it all, the life I was carrying kept me going throughout those time.” Ivy said in a tight whisper as she wiped her tears.

“And then after sometime of hardship everything had fallen right into place for Leroy and I.” Ivy sniffed as she breathed in and out.

“And now..you are..saying I should go to where I never felt loved?” Ivy asked Ace a question but a response never came from him.

Ace knew this woman’s life standing in front of him was fraught with anger towards her parents. Ivy waited for a response and somehow it felt like a heavy height had just been lifted off her shoulder.

Ace Clark held her right hand and lead her to the couch and he made her sit in it. Without saying a word, he walked back into the kitchen but he soon came back around with a glass of water in a tray.

“Here drink up to help you relax.” He instructed her.

Ivy accepted the glass of water and she gulped down the whole liquid. Ace took the glass from her and set it on the tray that was sitting on the table.

Ace heaved a loud sigh as he settled down beside her on the couch. He turned Ivy so she could look straight into his eyes. “So how do you feel now?” He asked.

Ivy Rivera is a tough cookie who has been on her own since she was little. She wasn’t loved by her parents and the whole town looked down on her. After everything she went through, Ivy did not only survive but she also flourished as a successful photographer and film producer without much help from anyone.

“Do you feel better now after letting everything out?” Ace reached out to wipe the tears that strayed down her cheeks.

She felt relieved pouring out her mind to Ace Clark. But words has failed her and all she could do was cry.

“I am sorry for everything you went through in life. It must have been hard for you to survive all by yourself.” Ace embraced her.

Ivy sobbed as she held on to him tightly. She needed all the comfort his warm embrace was bringing to her body and soul. And she was glad that he had listened to her. Ivy sobbed out loud.

“Everything is fine now.” Ace mumbled.

And it took Ivy about an hour in crying state before Ace managed to calm her down. He withdrew from the embrace and reached out to wipe her tears with his fingertips.

“Ivy, I am sure that your parents must be having regrets for how they treated you. I mean..just take a look at yourself, you are doing well in your profession. You did a great job at raising a child. Just think about it, my love..you have managed to break free from the legacy of being a bad luck which you never were. So my love, it’s high time you forgive your parents if not anything but for Leroy’s sake.” He stopped and hoped for a response but nothing came from her.

“You have no idea of how much Leroy is wishing to see his grandparents.” Ace squeezed her hands gently and brought them to his mouth for a quick kiss.

“And don’t forget that I will always be here for you. And I also want a forever with you. I want to get married to you the right way and we can have more kids.” Ace Clark said with a small smile on his face.

“So what do you say?” He asked.

He is right. She should let go of the past and focus on the future with the man she loves so much and with her son that means the whole world to her. 

Ivy swallowed hard and held on to Ace Clark’s hands. “Will you come with me to Winslow?” She requested.

Ace smile grew broader, Ivy was coming around. It was a positive response.

“Anywhere you want to go, I will be there too.” Ace Clark answered.
