Chapter 76: Welcome To Fiji.

The buzzing of Ivy's alarm woke her up. And without seeing the screen, she turned it

off.

She sat upright, her head spinning with yesterday's events. There was a knock at her door and she stood up to get it, wondering if it was the knock that woke her before the alarm did.

"Yes?" she called out, her voice hoarse.

"It's me," Monica replied, from the other side.

Ivy opened the door and Monica entered.

"Good morning," Monica greeted, walking in with a tray of food. "How was your night?"

"Good," Ivy replied. "How was yours?"

"Great!" Monica cheered as she set the tray on the table. She turned to face Ivy. "It's a big day today."

She groaned, realizing the day had finally come. She was going to Fiji today.

"You don't seem excited," Monica said, moving closer. "Are you alright? Are you sick?"

"I'm fine," Ivy said, forcing a smile. "I'm just a little tired."

"Well," Monica smiled warmly, "you should eat. Your husband said you'll be leaving soon. I'll go prepare your bath," she said, moving to the bathroom.

Some moments later, Monica returned. "All set," she announced.

"Thank you," Ivy smiled, making her way into the bathroom.

Monica had made a lemon-scent bath, and it made her feel instantly calm. Ivy brushed her teeth and lingered in the long warm bath, trying to relax. When she returned to her she was surprised to see Monica standing there with three other maids in

Ivy raised her brow. "What's going on?"

"Mr Stone instructed us to pack your stuff," Monica explained, gesturing to the three boxes lined up on the floor.

"Alright then," Ivy said quietly, her heart fluttering with slight uneasiness.

Monica turned to the maids, a smile on her face. "You'll fill up these boxes with
