"I don't know what to say to you but I should be thanking you." Darien smiled at her and this time it was real.
"Don't think I did it, because I am in love with you, I did it to clear my conscience." She smiled back at him.
"Okay but thank you." Ivy smiled a little.
TWO DAYS AGO
Rocky came out of the room where he was hiding and he went to Arizona.
"What are you doing?" Rocky squeezed his face and he was so confused.
"I don't want to be blamed for either of them downfall. I also have a spare key." She took an identical key from her pocket and she showed him.
"But why did you give Drake. He betrayed you, you are meant to be yearning for revenge." Rocky was still so confused.
"Why would I yearn for revenge. We are now equal, which means I owe him nothing. He has definitely helped me a lot in some things." She explained to him.
"What are you doing with the spare key? Are you planning on giving it to Darien?" He frowned his face and he didn't know how what she was doing.
"The two of them are going to race each other. Whoever reaches ther first is the winner." She tossed the keys on her hand.
"But why did you give Drake the key first?" He was still frowning and he was getting less confused.
"Darien is always better than Drake, no one can deny that. To make the game fair, I made Drake to start the race before Darien does." She answered him.
"This doesn't make any sense. Until recently, you were crying that you had done lots of terrible things to him." Rocky was not even understanding her.
"I know that but he kind of deserves it. He rejected me in the first place." She frowned at Rocky and she took her phone.
She dialed Darien number. It ranged but no reply, she called it more than ten times but no reply.
"Maybe he is busy." Rocky said and he sat on the couch.
"Busy?" She laughed at him. "He is ignoring my call. You think this my first time? I will give him one last call. If he cuts it, he has lost the race without trying."
She pressed the button and she was calling him. The phone kept ringing and ringing but there was no reply. She was about hanging up, when he picked.
"Why are you call me?" He sounded very annoyed.
"I have something important to tell you. I need you to come to my house." She spoke formally with him.
"Why would I do that?"
"If you don't trust me, you better come with your girlfriend and Jack. That way, you are safe."
"What is it you want to say?"
"It can change your life completely."
"It better be good." He cut the call.
She frowned her face and she stared at the phone. She eyed it and she felt so annoyed.
They waited for a very long time but no sign of Darien. It was almost two hours and he wasn't here.
She heard the door ring. Rocky stood and he opened the door. He went back to his seat and they waited for them. After a while, they saw the three of them enter.
They all had a frown on their face. They walked towards her and they sat opposite her.
"Why have you called us?" Darien spoke formally.
She tossed the key to him and he caught it. "This is your lucky key, the key you have been looking for."
Darien squeezed his face out of confusion and he stared at the key.
"What do you mean?" He stared at her and he looked very confused.
"It is what it is. Let me go straight, this is the lock to the fund." Arizona said.
"How did you get it?" He raised a brow at her and he was still so confused.
"Did you ever wondered who paid half a million dollars to the orphanage for the package?" She glared at them and she laughed.
"Why are you giving it to us?" He asked confused.
"I have already given the spare key to Drake before you came. Go before he reached there. Backville street." She smiled at them.
They widened their eyes and they ran out. Th t entered the car and they zoomed out of the place.
Darien was driving and Ivy was searing beside him with Jack at the back seat. He drove as fast as he could. He reached the place after twenty minutes.
He parked the car and they got out. They only saw wall and they were so confused.
They were wondering if Arizona had tricked them. Ivy eyes spotted the tiny lock at the wall.
"Look Darien." She pointed to it.
He took the key and he opened it. He was panting and he was nervous at the same time. He opened it and they saw what their eyes could not believe.
It was all in dollars. An entire big bundle of dollars that was worth billions of dollars. The room was quite big.
They entered inside and they saw the file they were looking for. Darien picked the file he was looking for and he saw Ivy's dad signature. He took the pen from how pocket and he signed it. He faced Ivy and they both smiled. They hugged each other.
"Not only will I take Drake down, every individual that has participated in every illegal activities." Darien sounded confident.
"But how?" Ivy asked.
"Remember the day we had our first kiss, I made sure I collected all the important documents." He smiled at her.
"You are right. Everything seems to be going fine." They all smiled at each other.
PRESENT DAY
"I have something I want to tell you guys." Arizona had a sad face.
"What's that?" Ivy asked.
"I want to forget you completely, so I have decide to go abroad. I will be going to Switzerland next two weeks." She smiled at them.
Rocky widened his eyes at her and he had tears stuck in his eyes. He squeezed his hands together and he couldn't express his pain.
"That's good for you. I hope we can still remain friends." He stretched his hands to her and he smiled.
"I will never return to America. If we meet again, we will definitely be friends." She stretched her hands and she accepted his offer.
They shook each other's hands and they smiled at each other.
Ivy went to her and she smiled. She hugged her tightly.
"Let's remain friends too." Ivy said.
Arizona hugged her back and she was almost crying. "Take good care of Darien, unless I will steal him away."
They both laughed and tears poured from Arizona eyes.
"We have to go." Darien said.
The three of them bowed their heads to Arizona and they left her side.
Darien held Ivy's hand and they smiled at each other.
"I'm coming back Darien, I want to do something quickly." She left his hand and she left.
He exhaled deeply and he was even more nervous.
Jack patted his right shoulder and they he took a deep breath.
"Tomorrow is the day right?" Jack smiled a little. "It's okay, you don't have to be nervous."
"Yes you are right. Tomorrow is the day." Darien took a deep breath.
