His lips, they tasted just like last time, it was everything I hoped for, only that this time it was short lived.It took a couple of seconds for the it whole fog to clear off from my eyes and he was still staring at me."You're so beautiful", he mumbled. For a second there I actually thought he meant it honestly but then I remembered that we're on a fake fiancee mission right now and this was all an act."You two should just get a room", Owen joked breaking me off that magical ride I was on seconds ago.The table was filled with giggles and laughter, both fake and real, all except from Laura, she was filled with rage."I want to see you start an actual family together before I die", his father said."Dad, you have nothing to worry about, this family is standing tall and strong", he said holding my hands.He shrugged, "Very well then, I'll ease you two off from the marriage talk for a while until you're ready", he said.I sighed relieved.Ben appeared behind Luther and whispered somet
LUTHER...**I crawled up my stairs, tired. What a crazy ass night. I just want to go to bed and sleep. I got into my room and threw my bloody clothes off my body. I checked through my phone and saw a text from Ben concerning something with Ivy. I texted my dad and wished him a happy birthday again but he was probably asleep.it was 3am.I suddenly didn't feel like sleeping anymore and decided to hit the roof top.I took my headphones with me and got a creete of beer and got there, it was quiet and cold, just like I liked it.I headed straight to the Jacuzzi and sank my body deep into it.The only thing that kept on ringing in my head were screams. That's what happens whenever I go under water.I hear the screams and cries of people I've hurt, intentionally or unintentionally, both the innocent and the guilty.Sometimes I try to run away from them, but of recent I've been embracing my demons.I got out of it when I felt like it was drowning me.It's the perfect time to face my demo
IVY * * I haven't left my room all day because of last night, I don't know if what happened was based on a drunk impulse or under his control but it was something. It felt real, too real like every word he said he actually meant it. I mean I thought the whole pretense was supposed to be when we're in public, but what he said really got me. After my antenatal check up and when Dr. Lizzy left I had to leave the room. I tiptoed downstairs and met the living room filled with Men. Maybe I should have just stayed in my room. "Hi Ivy", Owen had to make it loud and clear that I was there. Everyone's eyes went to me. Holy shit, my feet are cold. "That's Dangers fiancee right?", One of them asked. "Laura said Baby mama", another said. "Yes, His fiancee", Owen said heading to the stairs and held my hands and got me down. "Small friends gathering, you'll get used to it", he said. I nodded, I hope not. I felt Luther's arms around my waist from behind. "Well Hello you", he said.
LAURA **I can't lie, I've not been myself these couple of months and I can't lie about it.My life was going so perfectly well, too perfectly well, I had everything in control and everything going exactly as planned until Ivy showed up.Luther's father was dying soon, he needed a family to take over, I was the closest woman Luther had in his life, I was supposed to be the new Mrs Cowper but now everything is going south.The truth is, I knew that Luther will never love me, not even in his next life and he will never feel what I feel for him but I was willing to try, willing to hope that things will change and whether or whether not it works out, I was still going to be with him, forever.Now will you believe the pleasant surprise I get when I hear that a woman showed up for hell and is trying to tie him down with a pregnancy.And what pains me the most is how he's so willing to keep her and to make her stay, how he's so protective of her and how he treats her like a jewel, somethi
IVY*I just knew it wasn't gonna last, Luther was back to avoiding me again and acting like I didn't exist. I was getting used to how everything was going until when he started acting different and it felt so nice, but then it was all the alcohol.I had started a new hobby of recent. Before I started working, I use to love making designs for dresses. I would make the prettiest that you could ever imagine, but I never got the privilege to show case them to the world, and that wasn't going to pay my bills so I had to focus on work.Now I'm being a pregnant house woman I find myself day in day out making designs for dresses.Luther barged into my room unexpected."We have a dinner date in an hour, picked out a dress already for you, matches with mine, be down on time", he said casually and handed me the dress.I nodded, "Oh thank you", I said.He left immediately after.I can't even lie when I say I miss drunk him. Wish I could be drugging him more often.I picked up the dress and stare
"Hmm?", was the only thing that came out my throat. He then pulled away and gave me a short smile, "Extra 20 minutes go change the dress, big mistake", he said casually. I nodded, Yup very inappropriate, I agree. I rushed upstairs and shut my room door behind me. Now I'm a 100% sure that he's not drunk and this isn't public so what was that?!!! I exhaled and got into my closet and quickly changed into another black dress, this one was silky, long and had a slit at the side... just one. Then I got back downstairs and he was waiting for me. He didn't say a word, he just started walking outside. We headed towards the Limo and surprisingly he chose to be a gentle man and opened the door for me. I got in and so did he, the driver took off immediately. The ride was as usual, no word said till we got to the destination. I'm beginning to think I've been having illusions of how he's been acting of recent if we're being honest. We arrived the hotel and he got out of the car and helped
Martins was nice, funny and very mature. He's from a royal bloodline, but not his sister, she's more like his step sister.I asked him about his partner since it was a couples dinner and he told me that he didn't need a date because they were the hosts. His sight and him.She creates the event every year so she can meet a new rich man to steal. So he knew everything about this event and what goes on.For the moment I tried to enjoy myself, I hadn't spoken to anyone that wasn't involved in the Cowper family for months.Talking to someone about something that didn't involve Luther was refreshing."I really don't understand what your fiance would want in my sister that you do not have", he said."You're really beautiful, extremely stunning, very elegant ", he said.I smiled, broadly, when last did I hear that? someone compliment me? genuinely? been long."Thank you ", I said smiling."What is going on here?".It was Luther, he was standing at the door of the balcony with Ben.When did Be
I've been indoors lately, and this time it's because I want to be indoors. I only interact with my doctor and then Mrs Smith most times when she serves me food.I've dedicated my life to making designs for dresses, I've made lots of them and I plan of selling them online to at least get money of my own, just incase this whole thing with Luther goes wrong.We haven't seen each other for two weeks now, after what went down the other night. I hear his voice outside, I see him in the garden most times, but we haven't seen each other, and this time around I'm the one avoiding him.I just want to be alone for now, maybe if things could go any faster I would be out of here in no time.I'm more like a prisoner now and I'm trapped everyday in my thoughts. I don't know what to do anymore, and I don't know who to talk to about everything.I've thought about calling Martins, but I don't trust him enough to tell him everything that's going on, one little mistake and everything goes wrong? I'll be
A MONTH LATER IVY**I haven't been myself ever since I saw Laura kill herself , right in front of me.The image will be stuck in my head for the rest of my life for sure.I blamed myself at a point, I felt like it was my fault all of this happened. Maybe if I hadn't gotten pregnant for Luther in the first place, maybe everything that happened wouldn't have mThat's what I used to drown myself in guilt, Until Lexy called me.She was so sad about everything, because she warned Laura about it too, she begged her to stop going down that path but she didn't listen.I told Lexy it was all my fault, that the night she died still haunts me everyday.Lexy reminded me of something else, if I never met Luther, I would never met my real family. I probably would have gone suicidal by now, or even the worse could have happened.She reminded me that my life has gotten so much better since I met him. Yes the adventure was there, the suffering too, but it all worth it in the end. I found my family,
"You shot Ivy?????", I raged loosing my shit."You see why I didn't fucken come tell you? do you see? I shot her but it wasn't my doing, my mother got into my head, she knew why she didn't do it herself that night, because she knew she was going to use it against me and torture me with it. I hated myself after that moment, you think if I wanted to kill her I would have missed? Why do you think after that I started becoming very close to Ivy? why do you think I started protecting her? started trying to keep her safe? drop indirect tips? why do you think I told her to go to Italy and not come back? because Martins was going to kill her, he was. And I knew I couldn't tell you because you wouldn't believe me that I was forced to shoot her, you wouldn't because she is all you care about, I become a skeleton, I walking corpse and was turned to a puppet because I was afraid to tell you that I shot Ivy and I didn't mean to. Had to live with everything going on, even took Therapy from your
LUTHER ***It was 3:45am when we got to the place. Asher had tracked her location to San Diego and this was where Laura's last phone call was made 16 minutes before we got here.We disabled all the armed men that got here very easily. We all know what we wanted."Haven't held a gun in months, I could say a year plus", Aaron mumbled as we stalked into the house quietly."Yeah, that's because you're a family guy now", Asher mumbled, the chuckled.It's how they can be so calm in the middle of all this that scares me.But then I remembered, they had gone through a whole lot, this was nothing to them.We searched the Entire house, it was empty.We barged into the living room, Mrs Ann's body and Martins body was found soaked in blood.What?Martins?I ran to him to check his pulse, he was gone.Oh my God."He's dead", I whispered coldly."Who is that?", Amber asked."My step brother",I replied coldly.If Both Mrs Ann and Martins is dead, then.....Laura what is happening here, what game
LAURA **I Sprang up from my bed, memories of everything that had happened in the past couple of years swimming into my head at once. I stopped myself from screaming as everything flooded my head.I was sitting on my bed shaking, physically shaking.The last thing I remembered was my mother attacking me.I stood up from my bed and went downstairs, hearing voices from there.It was Martins and My mother."Laura, you're awake, Martins and I were just -""You wiped my memory", I whispered slowly.They paused, exchanged glances and then looked back at me."What are you -""You both fucken wiped my memory, I remember everything, ever fucken thing!!"."Sweetie, I think you just had a bad dream, have you been taking your meds?"."No I haven't, because I noticed it was different from what the doctor prescribed, then I went online and did my research and realized that you've been feeding me with medications to make me forget everything that had happened! i skipped it for 4 days and everythin
IVY **It was shocking actually, when I heard Laura found out and she wanted us to talk. I honestly thought she's really maturity, which was definitely a good thing.She was kinda faking the smiles in the beginning but she just straight up told me that she's honestly not happy cuz she's been in love with Luther her entire life, so it was sad seeing him with another woman, again.But everything went well surprisingly, honestly really really surprisingly.When we were done she offered to drop me off at my estate."We should do this some more time", she said in the car."Yeah, that'll be nice", I replied.We went quiet for a moment and rode in silence."Do you know a girl named Jenifer? Luther's ex girlfriend?", She suddenly asked."Yes, he mentioned"."Do you know how she died?", she asked.I'm guessing she's trying to scare me off, typical Laura, she would never give in completely."I heard she was killed and hung in front of Luther's house", I said calmly."Do you know who killed he
LUTHER***I woke up this morning sensing a very negative energy. Something bad was going to happen, I could feel it but I didn't know what.I called Ivy to make sure she was okay, she said she was at work and everything was normal, nothing out of the ordinary. I could just feel something was wrong.I called Laura to check up on her if she was good, she didn't pick up.But she posted on her Insta this morning so I assumed she was fine, but something was off, I could feel it.I had a meeting in San Diego later so I started preparing for my movement today. I told Ben about how I couldn't shake off the sickening feeling that something bad was going to happen.But everything has been good lately, I have no fear of enemies attacking me or anything, I'm with the woman I love and my family is better than it use to be, what could possibly go wrong?Laura called back few minutes to my flight take off."Hey", I said."Hi"."How are you? are you good?".She sighed, "My mom just told me everyt
LAURA***Mother walked into my house by 6pm.She noticed my cold mood, even from the way I spoke with her over the phone to come over, I could swear she heard the terror in my voice."You wanted to see me", she said trying not to act bothered, but it was all over her face."Sit", I said calmly.Mother knew that when I wasn't in a good mood the worse thing she could do was make me angry. I could forget she was my mother for the moment actually.She did.I picked up my cigarette and lit it."You know Blu right?", I asked.She swallowed hard."Yes", she said "Well I went to her club last night, was with her till this morning and we had a chat, a long one actually. And she told me somethings", i started calmly."What did she tell you?", she asked."She said when I was in the hospital you denied her access to see me. And apparently also texted her to stay away from me. As if you knew that if I meet her I'll find out something you don't want me to "."Laura... Laura I can-""Don't fucke
LAURA **These past few weeks have been terrible, honestly terrible.It's like I'm living another person's life. I can't remember shit happening. A lot of things have changed, so badly that it's affecting me. Owen's dead, my godfather too?And everyone seems to be keeping secrets from me, I don't even know why.I walked into my mom and Luther talking today and it was about telling me something, something that I feel like Is the last piece to fixing my memory completely. But my mother told me she'll tell me in the morning and said I should go to bed after taking my pills.Something is wrong somewhere and I just know it and I can feel it. Everyone I ask about it either brushes it off or tells me that I should be happy I have forgotten all those cruel days I had.There was only one person I knew that I told my secrets to and will tell me too.Blu.I immediately got out of bed and found something simple to wear.I got out of my room and headed to my car."My mother asked coming outside
I barged into Mrs Ann's house."Luther is 2am in the morning, what the-""We have to tell Laura the truth, the complete truth, everything. We cannot keep pretending; I cannot keep pretending.""It's not that hard Luther, just pretend like you're both dating for now until when she's ready to hear it"."And when is that going to happen? huh ? when ??? because I cannot keep up with this lie. What's going to happen when she finds out we're playing her, or when she gets her memory?"."Luther I -""No I'm going to talk to her""And you think she'll listen? that's worse, what you're attempting just so you know. Lying to her about everything? she deserves to know the truth "."Luther for the first time since almost 3 years, my daughter is exactly how I have known her. She's happy, she looks and feels alive and she's herself again. Just so you know everything started changing and crashing the very moment she found out about Ivy, and now you want to do the whole thing again? relive the whole th
