Sam didn�t take it too well when he saw Grace one last time before burial. Ivy didn�t show not an ounce of remorse. I finally have him all to myself and no one can ever take him away from me! Her devious smile had a hint of sinful pleasure. �Ivy, what are you doing here?� Eve questioned hastily. �What�s the matter, Eve? Can�t handle the fact that I am here to support Sam?� She snickered. �Don�t be so smug, Ivy! The only reason Sam is having you here is because he is feeling vulnerable! If you have the decency to show a little honor to Grace, then I would be more than happy to believe you. Since you are the pathetic, rich spoiled brat that you are! I don�t take anything that you do lightly.� hissed Eve.

�Not to burst your bubble, Eve. Do you not have anything else better to do than to harass me?� She gave a cold shoulder. �Ivy, I�m giving you fair warning. I�m not the one to be reckon with! If you hurt Sam in anyway! I will come after you and that�s a promise!� Eve threatened her. �And I�m supposed to be so scared. What are you going to do, Eve? Murder me?� She laughed coldly and walked away. Eve felt her blood boiling looking at that ferocious woman. TC snuck from behind. �Honey, what�s wrong?� He laconically inquired.

�Nothing, sweetheart. I just don�t think it�s right . . . the nerve of that woman!� She bitterly replied. �I know what you mean.� He rubbed her shoulders gently. �Don�t let her get to you, Eve. Remember, even cold-hearted reptiles need to be loved.� He sarcastically remarked. �You are terrible.� Eve shook her head. �We should send our condolences to Sam once more before we leave.� urged TC.

�I guess you�re right . . . No better yet, why don�t we stay with Sam just in case if he need anything?� Eve glanced at TC with a bubbly sensation soaring through her eyes. �What are you up to, Eve?� He smiled. �Nothing, I promised Grace that if anything happened to her that I will check up on Sam. That�s all.� She shrugged. �That�s what I love about you, sweetheart. You always think of others before yourself.� He kissed her passionately. �No sweat.� She said dryly. �That diabolical bitch is going to pay and I will find out what she is up to.� Eve murmured. TC dragged Eve along and found Sam.

�Sam, bro, how are you holding up?� TC gave Sam a brotherly hug. �I�m cool, it could be better if Grace was alive.� He sounded depressed. TC glimpsed at Eve and gave her the �I don�t know� eye. �Sam, we�re coming home with you, is that alright?� Eve intruded. �I don�t want to . . .� Eve cut Sam off. �Nonsense, Sam. You are not going to be a bother. Let�s go.� She smiled and headed for her car. �Can�t talk Eve out of it?� Sam looked a little preoccupied. �You know Eve, Sam. Once she gets an idea in her head that�s it. There is no use of talking her out of it.� TC grinned widely.

�I guess not.� He sighed relentlessly. �I miss her, TC. Grace was the light of my life, how will I move on without her?� He frowned and feel like life has cheated him out of one thing. �Sam, try not to beat yourself up. Grace wouldn�t want you moping around. She�d want you to think upon happy times. You know what I�m saying?� TC implied. �I guess.� He didn�t seemed so convinced.

Ivy watched Sam wallowing in his tears. �I�m going to comfort him. He�s going to need me.� She told herself. �There is no way in Hell! I will let that bitch, Eve! Take away my one chance at happiness. I had no problem with eradicating Grace. None whatsoever.� She exhaled tremendously and is prepared to take her charm to the next level.

�Sam!� She called out. Sam turned around and watched her. �Is it all right if I come along, too?� She fixed her smile on him. �Not at all. You don�t mind, do you TC?� Sam gave him puppy dog eyes. �No.� TC gave in and didn�t want to argue with him. �Hi, TC. How�s it going?� She flashed a faux grin. �It�s going.� TC flatly stated. He went straight towards the car. �TC, is Ivy trying to sneak her way back into Sam�s life?!� She fury with interrogation. �Beats me, the way it is looking, I would say I�m afraid so.� He soughed and they both followed Sam to his house.

�Sam, thank you for letting me come.� Ivy wanted to be grateful. �Not at all, Ivy. It�s no trouble. Would you like to have anything to eat?� He beamed. �No thank you, Sam. I�m not all that hungry. What about you? I know you�re famished.� she glinted at his body with amazement. �Ivy, yeah, I guess.� He replied sweetly. Just when Ivy was about to kiss him. TC and Eve waltzed in. �Sam! We�re so glad that you have made it back safely.� Eve enjoyed barging in on Ivy. Her and Ivy never did get along that well. Eve has her reasons, too.

Eve is convinced that Ivy has something to do with Julian�s sudden death and Alistair�s as well. She knows that Ivy is capable of getting anything she want and will stop at nothing to get it. �Eve, I have called you like six times. Are you okay?� TC is beginning to worry. �I�m fine, honey. I was just thinking about some things like Grace�s death.� She was partially telling the truth. She really doesn�t want TC to know what�s going on inside her head.
�Ivy, I will prove it one way or another that you were behind the Cranes� sudden death.� Eve looked glum and sat down miserably.

�Is everything all right, Eve? You look a little . . . What�s the word? Blue.� Ivy snickered in a conniving way. �Ivy, shut up and go elsewhere! The last thing I need is your sappy sarcasm!� She snapped. �My, my. Someone�s got an at-ti-tude.� She bellowed. �Ivy, I�m giving fair warning to shove it!� Eve hissed. �Don�t frown so much, it�s not good for your beauty. Really, dear? You need to enjoy life a little more instead of working so hard in the hospital.� Ivy walked away and started conversing with Sam. �I swear that bitch is going to pay.� Eve murmured acrimoniously.

�Sam, why don�t we go upstairs and talk about life?� Ivy propounded. �I don�t see anything wrong with it. C�mon.� He held her hand as they ascended the stairs.

Eve told TC that she had to use the bathroom and went upstairs as well. �I really need to know what�s going on with that crooked woman. She found the door half opened and couldn�t believe what she is seeing. Ivy is making love with Sam. �Ivy, I�m glad you are here with me.� He smiled. �I am glad that I can console you.� She massaged him slowly. Eve is outraged with this sudden behavior that Ivy is presenting. �Damn her! I can�t believe that Sam is willing to give up all of his love and turn to that bitch!� She grumbled.

Ivy smirked when she saw Sam closed his eyes and slipped out of bed. �Yes, I shall persuade Sam and make him marry me. I will make him forget about Grace!� She irately replied. �Grace will be no more! I will make sure to that!� She stared at herself in the mirror and brushed her hair smoothly.

Eve nearly shook and stepped back. �I got to find out what Ivy is plotting . . . I got to protect Sam from this malevolent witch!� She moved closer and listened carefully on Ivy�s soliloquy. �I will make sure that Kay and Jessica will get to know me better. They will love me and forget all about Grace.� She placed the brush on the dresser. �This woman is nuts and deluding herself. Kay and Jessica will never forget their mother. As long as they live. I got to warn Sam . . .� Eve walked away quietly and called Simone.

�Hello? Mom? What�s wrong?� Simone is a little frightened. �Nothing sweetheart . . . how is Kay and Jessica? Are they holding up pretty well?� Eve tried not to sound so shaky. �Mom, they�re fine. Are you sure there is nothing going on?� Simone pressed the issue again. �No, Simone, just send them my love. I love you, sweetie. Bye.� She hanged up after Simone said goodbye. �If Ivy is up to any foolishness, I swear that I will bring her down and that�s a promise!� She whispered.

Ivy kissed Sam softly and glanced at him. �My beautiful, Sam. We will be together.� She touched his cheek. �I swear to you, we will.� Ivy fell asleep in Sam�s arms. Eve took one last glimpse at them and is ready to bring Ivy down.
