CHAPTER 8 "Are you just going to watch me all night?" Ivy teased, trying to lighten the mood, though her heart raced. Matt's gaze intensified, his voice low and serious. "I can't help it. You're captivating. But we need to talk about the contract." Ivy turned to face him, a hint of apprehension in her eyes. "What about it?" "I think I should move in, it’ll make things easier " he suggested, his tone firm yet inviting. She raised an eyebrow, surprised. " Oh, I was skeptical about bringing it up earlier.....I didn't want you to feel less of a man just because of a contract " "Yeah, it makes sense. A random nobody married to a CEO will make the headlines but not to worry we can sort that , when do I get the contract?" " Umm.... let's give it a little more time, My best friend is still working on it, she's my Attorney " " Oh.......I can't wait to meet her then. We should definitely pay her a visit , so she can meet me formally " " That shouldn't be a problem, I'll arrang
CHAPTER 9 "Can you please tell me where we are going" Ivy called from behind, slamming the door behind her. Matt turned with a smirk on his lips. "You'll find out soon enough, and oh you might want to change into something light" He pointed. "Something light?" Ivy repeated, inspecting her girl power office fit. " Yes, something sunny. I'm ready when you are" "You really won't tell me where we are going all of a sudden?" Matt quietly walked over to the Dinning table intending to finish his interrupted Breakfast. Ivy sighed and made her way upstairs. Ivy stands in front of her closet, staring blankly. Where were they suddenly going to? Something suddenly clicked in her mind, Wait.....was he jealous? Ivy found herself giggling at the thought, she was sure Matt was jealous of Wilson. He was probably taking her on a date to claim his territory. It dawned on her "A date?!" She almost screamed. "Calm down girl you've got this" She said before proceeding to wreck her entire cl
CHAPTER 10 Henry Williams, once a respected attorney, had lost his way after his wife's tragic death. Grief and desperation drove him to prioritize wealth over integrity. He became a rogue attorney, catering to the rich and powerful. One case, however, proved particularly challenging. Smithson vs. Johnson, a high stakes battle over corporate empires. Henry needed a breakthrough. Sitting in his dimly lit study, surrounded by files and whiskey, an idea struck him. His children, Emily and Wilson. He had neglected them, but they could be useful. Henry summoned his children to his study, a calculated glint in his eyes. "Children, I have a proposition for you. Help me win this case, and I'll ensure your futures are secured." Emily's skepticism was palpable. "What do you mean, Father?" "I need you to infiltrate the Johnson family's inner circle. Gather evidence, build trust. Whatever it takes." Emily's eyes widened in horror. "Father, that's insane! We can't just spy on people!
CHAPTER 11 WARNING!!!! EXPLICIT SCENE AHEAD!!! Wilson's eyes widened as he read the message. He couldn't believe his luck. This was the perfect opportunity to get closer to Rachel and potentially gain more information about her family's dealings. He quickly typed out a response, trying to sound casual and nonchalant. "Hey, I'd love to come over! What's going on with your parents?" As he waited for Rachel's response, Wilson's mind began to wander. He thought about the potential risks and benefits of spending the night at the Johnson estate. Could he really trust himself to keep his true intentions hidden? Rachel's response arrived, and Wilson's eyes scanned the message. "They had to leave for an emergency meeting. I'm really scared, Wilson. I don't like being alone in this big house." Wilson's gut twisted with guilt. He was taking advantage of Rachel's vulnerability, but he couldn't afford to show his true feelings. Not now, when he was so close to achieving his goal. With
CHAPTER 1 " What do you mean you used $2 million?! " Ivy slammed her palms on the table, her face twisted in rage. " Babe, relax this isn't a big deal " Ethan stated without baiting his eyes. " This isn't a big deal? Ethan you've been spending an awful amount of money lately and it's affecting the company " Ivy responded trying to contain her anger. " My Company, my money in case you forgot you are just the MD " Ethan pointed out while sipping his cocktail. " Your Company? I worked my butt off to get us to where we are today and you've almost destroyed everything we've built within 6 months " Ivy snapped. The maids and butlers watched from a safe distance in awkward silence, this wasn't the first time, heck they've been having heated arguments for months now. If Ethan wasn't womanizing he was busy gambling away their money. " Can you just stop this nonsense and go to work? Go and make more money that is your job after all" Ethan said. She grabbed her handbag and bolted
CHAPTER 2 ( 5 years later ) Ivy sat in her office, her glass window overlooked the city giving her a breathtaking view. She had successfully built and managed her own company over the years, after battling Ethan for months in court she eventually parted with more than half of his properties due to his infidelity. Her company was one of the most sort after company in the country. She was recently named the second most successful Female CEO and was featured on popular magazines. She sat on her seat reviewing the documents the MD had brought earlier when her phone suddenly buzzed. She grabbed it and checked the caller ID, it was Emily. Ivy smiled widely as she picked the call. " Babe, what's up?.........oh....... You're in my house? alright alright I'm coming " She ended the call and grabbed her bag making her way out of her office. She made a quick stop at her secretary's desk and gave her instructions before heading to her car. Her driver was already on stand by and they le
CHAPTER 3 ( The Next Day ) " What took you so long? I got drunk and got into this mess because of you! " Ivy said, fuming. " Babe relax, I'm sorry I didn't know we would eventually leave for his house plus I was drunk as well" Emily said, trying to defend herself. Ivy sighed and sat down on the nearby couch. " I'm sorry for yelling, I'm just worried this might get out to the press plus I don't even know him, how the heck did I sleep with someone I don't know.......wait a minute, what if he tries to blackmail me? " Ivy asked, her heart pounding. " Relax, have you forgotten your best friend is an attorney? I've got your back " Emily said, as she gave her a reassuring smile. That was true, there was no way he could blackmail her when she had one of the top attorneys beside her. Ivy's pounding heart died down and she finally smiled. " So.....how was it? " " How was what? " she asked with a raised eyebrow. " You know......did you enjoy it? And don't tell me you didn't, co
CHAPTER 4 Ivy sat in her car for minutes catching her breath, what the heck just happened?. Did Wilson just propose to her out of the blue? She reached for her phone, she wanted to call Emily badly but she decided against it. She let out loud sigh as she gestured to her driver, he started the engine and they drove out of the premises. ( 2 days later ) Ivy sat on her couch in her living room , deep in thought. Wilson's words kept reminiscing in her head. She sighed out of frustration as her phone buzzed, she checked the caller ID, it was Mary her personal assistant. " Good day Mary " She said " Good morning ma'am, have you checked the Stats? " " No, what is it? " she inquired anxiously. " Ma'am ,you've been dropped to number 3 on the chart" " What?! how?....when? what happened? " She asked, as her heart slammed painfully against her chest. " It's Irene Ma'am, the investor just invested in her company and now she's number 1 on the chart " she said. Ivy and Irene had

CHAPTER 7 As they stepped out of the mansion, the night air wrapped around them like a cool embrace, the distant sounds of laughter fading into the background. Ivy turned to Matt, her gratitude evident in her eyes. "Thank you for being my rock tonight. I honestly couldn’t have done it without you." Matt offered a half-smile, his gaze drifting away as if searching for something in the shadows. "Just doing what I can" Ivy gave him a warm smile "I guess we should call it a night then, you came with your car right ?" He hesitated, the moment stretching between them. “I didn’t drive,” he admitted. Ivy raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. " So how did you get here, a taxi?" He glanced at her, a flicker of something deeper hidden behind his calm facade. "Let’s not dwell on that." "Okay, I guess I'll have to drop you off then. Where is........" Ivy stated, but he cut her off, his tone shifting to a playful challenge. "How about I crash at your place tonight? As a thank you fo
CHAPTER 6 As Ivy stepped into the grand mansion, the atmosphere buzzed with laughter and the clinking of glasses. She felt the weight of every gaze as couples mingled, their hands intertwined, their smiles bright. A knot formed in her stomach; she had come alone, fully aware of the unspoken theme of the evening. Irene, she was responsible for this. Her eyes darted across the room, her heart beating wildly in her chest. Then she spotted Irene, her biggest rival. Irene stepped into the room wearing a stunning, form-fitting red dress that hugged her curves perfectly, accentuating her figure. She paired it with strappy black heels that added height and elegance to her look. Her hair was styled in loose, glamorous waves that cascaded over her shoulders, and her makeup was flawlessly done, with smoky eyes and a bold red lip that matched her dress. A delicate silver necklace adorned her neck, catching the light as she moved, completing her striking appearance. Irene looked good and sh
CHAPTER 5 Matt turned to the counter and gestured to the bartender to refill his glass. " My mom would be thrilled.....she has been on my neck for a while now " he stated simply. " Oh....I see, what are the rules ?"She asked nervously He dropped his glass on the counter and turned to face her, his face bearing no expression at all. " This might be a contract marriage but you are still going to be my wife meaning you belong to me both your body and your soul for as long as the contract says " His words sent a chill down her spine, and a smile suddenly crept to her face.......oh Good Lord what was she thinking? she should be scared but something about belonging to him actually made her excited. She reached out and grabbed her wine glass to calm her nerves. " I also want a baby " he said, breaking the brief silence. Ivy almost spat out her drink." A....a baby? " She looked at him in disbelief. He stared at her in silence, his head titled to one side " Yes a baby, don't you
