Chapter: CHAPTER TENSecrets in Plain SightIvy’s POVI wanted to walk away the moment I saw her.When my mother opened the door, I couldn't help but feel suffocated straight to my bones as memories from the past threatened to pull me under making me watery eye.It was hard to forgive when the people you put so much faith and trust in decide to abandon at your lowest moment.But I had to do this. For my father. Though we had no good relationship seeing as he is the instigator of all the harsh treatment the rest of the family meted on me.I clutched the small wooden box in my hands, my fingers pressing against the engraved initials. A keepsake. One of the few things he had left behind that mattered at least when he still treated me like a daughter."Ivy." Her voice wavered, eyes widening as she took me in. I guess she was surprised to see me right now. I too was surprised by myself. Especially after the attack at the cemetery, I didn't even know who to trust anymore.I wonder what would've happened to me

Chapter: CHAPTER NINEFather's Keepsake Ivy's POV It was just yesterday that Gabe told me I had a better chance of surviving here in Los Angeles than traveling back to Europe and it had since destabilized me.I didn't want it to be real.I tried my hardest to call the shots I knew I had to so that I can keep the business still going, but it only made the whole situation more real. If anyone had told me that I will be spending more time than necessary in this state, I’d have laughed that person to scorn, yet here I am.All because of some crazy attack that I couldn't just pinpoint who gave the order.After a long night thinking of the next step, wondering whether to just condemn everything to hell and make the drastic choice of secretly leaving L.A, but then Gab’s words echoed in my head.Taking a deep breath, I sighed. I would never forgive myself if anything was to happen to Noah.I decided instead to make the necessary calls. Thank goodness Sarah chose to keep her apartment if not this would've been a

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTThe Unexpected NewsIvy's POVAs I unlocked the door to my apartment, I wondered what I was going to tell Noah.Since he was born, I have never brought a man to my house, choosing not to deal with anything called relationship after my last fall out.But now, Gabe was in the house and I had not really come up with an explanation for Noah's little mind. Though there was a possibility that he won't be around.I was just coming back from the sitter’s house where I kept him before heading off to the cemetery where everything had gone nuts.Taking a deep breath, I took Noah's hand and pushed the door open. To my satisfaction, Gabe was still there. He was sitting on the coach where he spent the night, holding a cup of smoking liquid.Upon our entrance, he turned on the spot, his eyes sharp until he saw us and the frown on his face straightened out replaced by a smile. “Hope you don't mind? I needed a cup of coffee. Can't do much in the morning without it.” He said holding up the cup.I coul

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENThe Unanswered QuestionRowan’s POVI couldn’t get the image out of my head. Ivy, standing outside gripping that little boy’s hand like her life depended on it.The funeral had already been a disaster from the moment I laid eyes on her. Seeing her again after all these years had been enough of a punch to the gut, but the kid? That was something else.Something else I didn't expect.Could it be…?Because if my math was right—if the timeline made any damn sense at all—No. I couldn’t go there. Not yet.I slammed the car door shut and sat behind the wheel, gripping it tighter than necessary. My mind kept circling back, trying to fill in the blanks. Ivy had disappeared after our breakup, cutting all ties. I’d searched for her, reached out more times than I cared to admit, but she’d vanished like smoke. No trace.And now she was back. With a kid who looked—No. Focus.I needed answers, and I needed them now.If it's possible that, that kid is mine, there's a lot I need to take care of. A l

Chapter: Chapter 6: A Familiar FaceIvy’s POVThe effect that Rowan’s presence had on me lingered long after I left the funeral. His voice, his eyes—everything about him ripped open wounds I thought had long since healed. I pressed my fingers to my temples as I walked, trying to push away the memories clawing at me.I shouldn’t have come. I should have stayed home, and kept my head down like I have done for the past seven years. Now, I was falling apart, and I hated it.The cemetery was mostly empty now, the last of the mourners leaving in small groups. My heels crunched against the gravel path as I made my way toward the exit, my heart still hammering from seeing Rowan again. But just as I reached the iron gates, a quick movement caught my eye.A black sedan stood a few yards away. The tinted windows made it impossible to see inside, but something about it made my stomach tighten with dread. I picked up my pace.Then, a sharp crack split the air.Gunfire.Instinct took over. I dropped to the ground just as another shot

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE MEETING ROWAN'S POV The sun glaring through the windows when I wake up, Bella curled up next to me with her hand on my chest. She reminds me so much of Ivy sometimes. It's been seven years since Ivy left, seven years since I got Bella back, but I still feel this emptiness inside. Like Ivy's still here, haunting me. I know I messed up, treating her the way I did. But part of me just can't let it go, can't believe she didn't love me for my money. "You love her," a little voice in my head whispers. "Shut up," I growl back. "I could never love her." But even as I say it, I know it's a lie. Ivy got under my skin in a way no one else ever has. After I divorced her, I thought she'd come crawling back in a year, tops, begging me to take her back. But she didn't. Last I heard, she was in Europe, chasing that fashion designer dream of hers. I hate it, hate the thought of her out there, building a life without me. Even if she's not mine anymore, I don't want anyone else to have her. She
