A Contract Not To Fall In Love Chapter 20
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

Ivy walked into the dining area, her hair still damp from the shower, and her eyes scanning the room for Maria. But to her surprise, Maria was nowhere to be found. It was strange; Maria never took a day off without notice.Ivy's gaze landed on Victor, who was already seated at the table, sipping his coffee. "Why is Maria absent today?" Ivy asked, her voice laced with concern.Victor's smile was casual, but his eyes gleamed with amusement. "I gave Maria the day off," he replied, his voice nonchalant.Ivy's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with questions. "Then who will do all this household work? Is anyone else coming?" She asked, her voice firm.Victor's smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with mischief. "You," he said, his voice low and husky. "You will do all this."Ivy's eyes widened in shock, her face pale. "I am not going to do all this," she protested, her voice rising. "You're joking, right?"But Victor's face was serious, his eyes cold and hard. "I don't joke," he said, his voic

Ivy stood in front of the stove, determined to cook a decent meal despite her limited experience. She began by chopping the vegetables, but her inexperience showed as she cut her finger several times. She winced in pain as the sharp knife sliced through her skin, but she didn't stop. She kept cutting, her finger bleeding, as she tried to chop the vegetables into small pieces.As she moved on to cooking the meat, she accidentally touched the hot pan with her hand, burning herself. She cried out in pain, but still, she didn't stop. She kept cooking, her hand throbbing in pain as she tried to brown the meat.Despite her hurts, Ivy continued to cook, her determination driving her forward. She added spices, stirred the pot, and tasted the food, all while trying to ignore the pain in her finger and hand.As she cooked, the aroma of sizzling meat and steaming vegetables filled the kitchen, but Ivy's hands told a different story. Her finger was bleeding, her hand was burnt, and her skin was r

Ivy walked into Victor's room, expecting to find him asleep in bed. But instead, she saw him sitting on the couch, his head nodding forward as he slept. She wondered why he wasn't sleeping in the bed, and a pang of guilt hit her. Had he left the bed for her?But what Ivy didn't know was that Victor was maintaining distance from her, trying to protect himself from the trouble that came with being close to her. He had seen her burnt hands and cuts on her fingers, and his heart ached. That's why he had eaten the food without complaining, to make her feel good.Ivy approached Victor, concern etched on her face. She tapped his shoulder, trying to wake him up. But Victor was in a deep sleep, and the sudden touch startled him. He instinctively reached under the pillow and pulled out a gun, pointing it at Ivy.Ivy's eyes widened in fear as she stumbled backward, falling to the floor. Victor's eyes snapped open, and he saw Ivy cowering on the ground, fear etched on her face. He quickly realize

Ivy stormed out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, her hair dripping wet. She thought Victor was gone, but he was sitting on the couch, his eyes fixed on his laptop screen. For a moment, their eyes met, and Ivy felt a shiver run down her spine. Victor quickly looked away, his expression unreadable.Ivy's anger boiled over as she realized she was still a prisoner in this house. "I have to go home," she said, her voice firm. "I miss my brothers."Victor didn't look up from his laptop. "You won't go anywhere."Ivy's frustration turned to fury. "Why are you doing this?" she demanded. "First, you take my phone, then you imprison me here and don't let me talk to anyone. Does anyone treat their fiancé like this? You don't even know how to treat a girl. You're an animal."Victor's eyes snapped up, his gaze piercing. He stared at Ivy, his expression intense. "I took you out once," he said, his voice low. "Don't forget what you did."Ivy's face reddened with anger. "I was drunk," she spat.Vi

Victor paced back and forth in his office, his mind consumed by thoughts of Ivy.

He couldn't shake off the memory of her body, her touch, her kisses.As a mafia leader and businessman, Victor was known for his focus and control. But Ivy was making it difficult for him. He found himself canceling important meetings, avoiding work, and spending most of his time thinking about her.The door to his office burst open, and Liam walked in, looking concerned. "What's your problem, man? What are you doing?" he asked, noticing Victor's restlessness.Victor stopped pacing and turned to face Liam. "Come to the point," he growled.Liam didn't hesitate. "You canceled all the important meetings. You know how crucial those deals were for us. We've been waiting for months, and now you're ruin

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.

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.
