A Contract Not To Fall In Love Chapter 15
Ivy jumped off the couch, her heart racing with fear and anger. She ran towards her room, slamming the door shut behind her and locking it with shaking hands.She leaned against the door, her chest heaving with sobs. "Damn you, Victor!" she cursed, her voice muffled by the door. "Damn you to hell!"She slid down to the floor, her body wracked with tears. She thought of her brothers and of Smith's warehouses burning to the ground. She thought of Victor's threat, of the promise in his eyes to destroy her."Why?" she sobbed, her voice barely audible. "Why is he doing this to me?"She rocked back and forth, her mind racing with thoughts of revenge and hatred. She wanted to hurt Victor to make him pay for what he had done.But as she sat there, something else crept into her mind. A memory of Victor's eyes, of the way he had looked at her with a glimmer of desire. A memory of his breath on her skin, of the way her heart had skipped a beat.Ivy's tears slowed, her body stilling as she realiz

Liam strode into the room, his tall frame and confident demeanor commanding attention. Ivy, still seated on the couch, gazed up at him with a mixture of disdain and boredom."Are you having fun?" Liam asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.Ivy's response was laced with venom. "Yes, of course. Would you like to switch roles with me?"Liam chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Not at all. Anyway, I don't have time to waste. Victor said you have to be ready at 7 p.m. He's going to take you somewhere."Ivy's expression turned icy. "And what's the purpose of this outing?"Liam shrugged. "No idea. But I'll pick you up at sharp 7. And I don't like waiting."Ivy's voice was cold, detached. "Yes, I understood, sir."Liam flashed a smile, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Good."He paused, seeming to savor the moment. "By the way, your clothes and stylist will come in the evening, so you won't have any problem. Consider it a favor from my side. Victor didn't say this, by the w

The car pulled up to the luxurious hotel, and Ivy's anxiety spiked. She had no idea what to expect, and Victor's cryptic messages hadn't helped. Liam's constant laughter hadn't eased her nerves either.When they arrived, Victor was already standing outside, his eyes fixed intently on Ivy as she stepped out of the car. His gaze roamed over her body, taking in the revealing dress Liam had chosen for her."You wore this dress of your own free will?" Victor asked, his voice low and husky.Ivy's confusion deepened. "What do you mean? You didn't give me a choice."Victor's eyes narrowed. "Do you know what's going to happen here tonight?"Ivy shook her head, feeling a sense of trepidation. "You invited me without telling me anything. I have no idea what's going on."Liam appeared beside them, still chuckling to himself. But when he saw Victor's expression, his smile faltered, and he fell silent.Ivy's eyes flashed with anger. "You gave me this dress deliberately, didn't you?" she accused Lia

The grand conference room and dining room were filled with the who's who of the mafia world. The long, polished table was laden with an array of dishes, from succulent meats to exotic seafood, and fine wines flowed like water. The atmosphere was thick with tension, the air heavy with anticipation.Ivy, the only woman in the room, felt like a fish out of water. She knew she didn't belong here, that this was a world where women were rarely seen and never heard. But Victor had brought her anyway, his eyes gleaming with a sinister intent.As they took their seats, Ivy's brothers, Julian, Lucas, and Ethan, shot her worried glances. They knew she shouldn't be here and that this was a dangerous game Victor was playing. But Ivy just shook her head, her eyes flashing with anger.The dinner conversation was stilted, the men discussing their illegal business dealings in hushed tones. Ivy's presence seemed to be a constant reminder of Victor's power, his ability to humiliate her brothers by bring

As soon as Ivy exited the room, Victor's demeanor transformed from calm to calculated. With lightning-fast speed, he pricked the man's eyes with the chopsticks held in his hand, the sound of the utensils piercing flesh and eyeballs echoing through the room. The man screamed in agony, his hands instinctively reaching for his eyes.But Victor wasn't finished yet. He pulled out a small pistol from his jacket pocket and aimed it at the man's head. The room fell silent, the only sound being the man's labored breathing and the soft clinking of silverware.Without hesitation, Victor pulled the trigger, the sound of the gunshot echoing through the room. The man's head jerked back, a bloody hole appearing in his forehead. His body slumped forward, his face contorting in a silent scream as his eyes turned into bloody sockets.The room erupted into chaos, some attendees screaming, others gasping in shock. Victor, however, remained unfazed, his expression a mask of indifference.He put the pistol

Ivy ran out of the room, her high heels clicking on the marble floor as she desperately sought escape from the horror she had just witnessed. She didn't stop until she reached the bar, where she grabbed a bottle of liquor from the table and made a swift exit.The cool night air hit her like a slap in the face, but she didn't slow down. She kept walking, the bottle clutching tightly in her hand, until she found herself alone in a deserted alleyway. It was there that she finally stopped, her back against the wall, and unscrewed the cap of the bottle.The liquor burned her throat as she drank, but she didn't care. She needed something, anything, to erase the image of that dead body from her mind. Born into a mafia family, Ivy had always been sheltered from the cruel realities of their world. Her brother and father had always kept her away from it, but now she had seen it up close and personal.As she drank, Ivy's mind raced with thoughts of what she had just seen. The way Victor had kill

Victor sprinted towards Ivy, his heart racing with worry. As he approached, Ivy turned towards him, the piece of broken bottle still clutched in her hand. Seeing Victor, she burst into tears, her body shaking with sobs.Victor's face contorted with concern. "Baby, are you hurt? What happened to you?" he asked, trying to gently pry the broken bottle from her hand.Ivy pointed towards the shopkeeper, her eyes accusing. Victor's gaze followed, and his expression darkened as he took in the scene. He glared at the shopkeeper, his death stare sending a shiver down the man's spine."Did he do anything to you?" Victor growled, his hand instinctively reaching for his gun.Ivy nodded, still crying, and Victor's eyes flashed with anger. But before he could act, the sound of police sirens filled the air, and a police car screeched to a halt in front of them.An officer stepped out, eyeing the scene warily. "What's going on here?" he asked, his hand resting on his hip.The shopkeeper, still coweri

Victor struggled to comprehend the situation. Ivy swiftly sat astride him, her legs wrapping around his waist like a vice. The gown she still wore had ridden up, exposing her sexy thighs, and Victor found himself entranced by the sight. He couldn't tear his gaze away, his heart racing with a mix of shock and desire.Ivy's eyes sparkled with mischief as she untied Victor's hair, her fingers caressing the long strands with a gentle touch. "I like your long hair; it suits you," she whispered, her breath hot against his ear. "Never cut it, or I'll cut you."Victor chuckled, his eyes never leaving hers, but his heart skipped a beat at her words. No woman had ever made him feel this way before—like he was under her spell, unable to resist her charms.But then, Ivy's question caught him off guard. "Are you a virgin?" she asked, her voice husky and seductive.Victor's expression remained calm, but his mind reeled. How could she ask such a thing? Didn't she know who he was—the feared mafia lea

Outside Ivy's hospital room, Lucas, Ethan, and Julian Smith stood clustered together, their faces etched with worry and anger."How could this happen?" Lucas demanded, his voice low and urgent. "She went to meet Victor Blackwood, and now she's lying in there, fighting for her life."Ethan's jaw clenched, his eyes burning with a mix of guilt and frustration."I promised Elizabeth, our stepmom, that I'd protect Ivy, no matter what," Ethan reminded himself, his voice laced with self-reproach.

Liam's voice dripped with malice as he spoke to Victor in the hospital hallway, outside Elijah's room."You're just sitting idle while the Smiths continue to hurt your family, Victor. How can you not take action?" Liam goaded.Victor's expression remained stoic, but Liam's words struck a nerve."You're worried about Ivy, aren't you?" Liam sneered. "She's a Smith, Victor. She'll always choose her family over you."Victor's mind flashed back to Ivy's words: "I trust my brother Julian, not you."
