David Van Ryan leaned back in his chair. Everything had fallen into place after months of careful planning. He had a private plane standing by. He was waiting for one last piece to fall into place before he launched his plan into full action. Once he had it confirmed that Braddock was back in the country for the scheduled fight against Schmeling, then he would board the plane and assess the Ivy situation personally.

The information had virtually run dry coming from Mark. But he had other sources of information besides Ivy’s brother. Van Der Brecken. How to deal with him… no matter. Mark would have to wait; convincing Ivy she had made a terrible mistake marrying the boxer was his priority. Without the boxer there to distract her she of course would come to her senses and return to him. He had waited patiently planning for two years. Now he would seize the opportunity that had presented itself and bring Ivy to her senses.

The secretary buzzed in. "Sorry to disturb you Mr. Van Ryan. But there is a call for you. John Walker is on your private line." Picking up the phone he listened intently to what Walker had to say before hanging up. Buzzing the secretary he had only one thing to say.

"Have my driver bring my car around, NOW!"
