"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
Another night to sit with the Cowper's and pretend like I give a fuck about anything that has to do with them. Luther got out of the car and then stretched his hands out for me. I took it. "Remember the plan", he said as we approached the back of the house where they were having dinner. "Remind yourself that next time", I mumbled. Before he could say anything, his godfather noticed us. "There they are", he said soon as they saw us.They rose and bowed, something I Will never understand.Laura wasn't in the table today and boy did I feel relieved. At least no one to throw dagger stares at me.After we greeted ourselves, we sat down."Well I'm sorry for dragging you two love birdsg away from your home. I just want to make use of every moment I spend with you." His father said."Try a be a bit positive old man and you might just Live a bit longer "Luther teased."Well I mean you should be praying for me to die so that you can get the whole throne, maybe speed it up a bit and poison
Some rides are quiet and then there's silence. That's what Luther and I went home with.I wasn't even ready for that conversation at all; soon as we alighted, I got out of the car and headed straight inside.I said what I said and I don't regret it. "Ivy", Luther called me making me stop on my tracks and turned around slowly."We need to talk", he said calmly.I didn't say anything, I just stand there waiting for him to talk."What happened between you and Laura?", he asked.I shrugged, "What does it look like happened?", I mumbled."You said a lot of things out of place -""Out of place? I'm sorry. You've been here for the past 4 months watching this woman threaten my life, abuse me and drive me into the point of almost commiting an abortion for your child and I just let it off my chest and I'm the one talking out of place?", I say calmly, very calmly."Luther listen, if you're tired of me, if your family is tired of me, just let me know and I'll be on my way. I'm not talking to an
LUTHER * * I asked Laura to come see me later that day. I expected her to barge in and rage, but she didn't; she looked broken when she walked in. "I hate my life", she mumbled and took a cigarette from my table and lit it. "Why do you look this way?", I asked. "Your fiancee insulted me brutally last night; my mother's nagging about how I allowed her to do it and how I'm allowing her to make me a weak woman. " "I'm sorry about her outburst, but if we're being honest, I mean, you've been pretty hostile towards her." She dropped the cigarette, "I'm supposed to be accommodative? Bring her flowers every time I see her? Take her shopping, paint her nails? I had a clear opportunity in this family, and she gets to sleep with you one night, and she has it all", she said in furry. "Laura, you will always be a part of this family; that's just the truth, "I said. She dropped the cigarette and placed her hands on her temple. "I don't want to be a part of your family. I want
IVY * * Laura just barged out of Luther's office holding tears, she looked at me for a split second before walking out of the house. And it wasn't that mean scary look, it was pain, raw pain. He got out too and saw me, "My office, now", he said. I exhaled and headed there. To be honest, my hot head was beginning to calm down, and I think I was gonna fold into a ball if he started yelling at me. "I said a lot of hurtful things to her at the top of my voice yesterday but she didn't break down, and you'll say I'm saying things out of place", I started as I got into her office. "Nothing that has to do with you", he said coldly as usual. I had this urge to roll my eyes, of course, typical Luther. "I'm sorry I asked", I mumbled. "But I do want to ask, yesterday, you said I didn't care about you that I only care about the child, why would you assume that?", he asked. I shrugged,"Uhm because it's quite obvious in you don't care about me but your child ". "Luther, you
LUTHER **I threw his room door open, everyone was surrounding him. Please don't tell me I'm late.Mrs Anna saw me and her face sank. I went to the bed, he looked barely alive."What happened?", I asked the doctor "His heart is failing him, we don't know what happened, he was a lot better this morning, something must have triggered it but he's going", she said.I took a deep breath in and tried to calm myself down."Everyone leave", I instructed., they all did.I sat beside him and held his hands."Old man, you can't possibly do this right now, c'mon", I was trying so hard to put myself together.He's all I've ever had after I lost my mother, whatever I am today is because of him and him alone."Where's... where's Ivy?", he asked."She's... she's outside", I said."Bring her", he managed to say.I dashed to the door and met the doctor, "Get Ivy", I said and immediately went back to him."Son listen to me, you have to marry Ivy", he said."I will, I promise"."No, not that game you
That was fast "You are so beautiful", he whispered close to my ear."Especially under the moonlight", he added sucking my ear, biting and nibbling on it. Then he stopped kissing me and then looked at me. Locking eyes with me. God this man is breathtaking,how can someone be so devilish and handsome at the same time?His eyes were dark and raw lust was written all over it. I kissed him this time, my hands leaving his neck and wandering into the water finding him boxers.He was so hard.I grabbed it gently, he smirked on my lips.I pulled his boxers off his body, loosing my grip on his torsos. "Naughty girl", he whispered grabbing me tightly. He spread my legs and wrapped it around his torso and found his way inside me.I gasped.He started moving in slowly, matching with the rhythm of the song playing at the background.He broke the kiss and locked eyes with me.My moans were soft and sweet, sometimes you could barely hear it.This wasn't just sex.it was passion.Love making I brok
IVY***It was already midnight and everyone had gone leaving me alone in the house. Luther wasn't picking up, he had disappeared for almost 3 hours now. I sighed.I wanted to go back to my hotel and have a good night sleep. But unfortunately I had to stay here.Mrs Smith had gone to sleep after cleaning up, I helped her out and I decided to go back to my old room.It was exactly as I left it. Everything was the same.The last time I was here, I was pregnant with a baby. I touched my stomach and a sickening feeling hit me.I lost a baby,I lost the only reason I got hooked up with this family. "Hello", Luther said behind meI turned around, "After 3 hours?"."Laura is.... super clingy and... you know I really don't want to talk about all of that right now especially with you", he stated."You don't look so good, I'm sorry I spent too much time, I'm sorry".I shook my head, "It's not that", I said."Then what is? talk to me baby".I slowly went to the bed and sat down on it"The las
IVY**Luther wanted me to come to LA, it was his dad's memorial service and he begged me to come.I hadn't been to LA In a year and half.The last time I was here, I found out The Cowper's were in the Mafia, I lost my baby after I got shot and almost died. That place had terrible trauma attached to it. But I had to because of Luther.No doubt nothing has changed women still stated at me like I stole their men, the gossip and stares still went on as usual. But one thing was different, I was not that woman from over a year ago, I was different now. So so different, and I could even walk up to one of them if they continue looking at me like that."You look stunning, as always",I heard a familiar male voice Behind me."Thank you", I said turning around to see him."Thank you for coming here, it means a lot to me", he said.I smiled, "Honestly I'm just glad to see you, I don't think I can spend five minutes okay when you're away"."I would have taken you upstairs and spanked you while yo
IVY**I opened my door and saw Luther, I rolled my eyes and started heading inside."I know you hate me and I'm a terrible person", he said following me inside."You are", I replied."And I'm so sorry Ivy"."You are",I said again."I promise this is never ever ever going to happen again. Laura had an accident and things have been so shitty and -"."Luther it's okay, I get it, how's she doing?", I asked not wanting to talk about the fact that he straight up ghosted me for 3 weeks.again.He sighed, "It's bad, she's lost a good chunk of her memory"."Well, at least she's okay.""No she's not, that's the thing I wanted to talk to you in person about it. Laura doesn't remember you, at all, she doesn't even know who you are, she doesn't remember that Owen is dead, lot's of things. Meaning she doesn't know we're in a relationship, she thinks I'm still with her".Okay my heart did giggle a little when he said we were in a relationship but focus!"Wait, what?"."You know Laura and I just re
LUTHER ***I had just settled down from my trip from Paris when I got a call from Laura's mother. She was in tears.Laura had an accident."She said she wanted to go take a shower, I told her to come down when she's done and have dinner. I waited for her for hours, I got really worried I went to check up on her thinking maybe she had fallen asleep or something. Only to get into the bathroom and find her on the floor in her own blood. She had blacked out. I think she slipped and fell, she hit the back of her head, the doctors are saying it's going to be a miracle if she makes it alive.... She's all I have, all I have".I had to get on the plane immediately to go to Miami. I was so scared.I just finally made peace with Laura and now this? God what is happening.Family meeting had to hold.Laura was unconscious for 2 weeks straight. Her mother seemed so broken and sad , I've never seen her so emotional before.Clearly I understand why, she loves Laura, truly they were all they had.
LAURA. * * Paris was over. I realized that I hadn't gotten over Luther, I probably never will. But I can't force love, his heart is with someone else and I just have to accept it. After all of this I'm going to go back to London, or Brazil. Away from all of this, start a new life there And maybe get to fall in love with someone, maybe even start a family. The thought of it made me warm inside. The feeling of new beginning, the realization that you are finally free to be whoever you want to be, that feeling is divine. So divine. I got to my house and opened the door. I immediately heard a gun click and I froze.i turned on the light. Martins was standing there with a gun pointed at me. My mother was smoking, none of them looked like they wanted to play. "W... what is going on". "Happy new years Laura", my mother said. "Uhm.. ha.. happy... happy new years mom ", I said. "Come inside, it's your house ", she said and I did slowly. I closed the door. "So, how'd you spend your
LAURA ***I got a call from Luther yesterday, he wanted us to go to Paris together, which was odd because he's never asked for something like that unless it was work, and I heard he was dropping everything off completely so I don't think he'd want to do anything like that.Regardless I agreed because I needed to get away from My mother and Martins and every other drama happening right now."So, are you going to tell me why you paid for an all expense paid trip for me to Paris or what? and I know that you're not trying to get me back, because that would be very stupid to think of" I said eating my stake.Yes I'm a vegetarian, but recently, I've been eating everything I see to stay alive because I've been becoming skinny.We were in this five star restaurant for dinner."Well if we're being honest I actually wanted to go with Ivy".I rolled my eyes, "Of course, I'm the second choice "."No you're not, you're not I promise, I figured it'll be a perfect time for us to meet up and talk
The past 19 days have been... weird. No drama, no hired assassin trying to kill me, no drama from two brothers, no crazy ex girlfriend coming after my life or trying to protect me from stuffs I have absolutely no idea about, it's just being so peaceful. Which is weird because my life has always been about drama, so don't get my wrong when k say this but I'm scared as fuck Martins, I've tried contacting him 600 times and he didn't answer.I just this he needs space to process everything. The truth is I will always be grateful to him for everything. And I don't even think this is all about me, it's about this grudge he has for Luther, and maybe one day I'm going to have to settle them together. Luther.. he left that night and told me he'll be in touch, but he hasn't. No surprises there lol. I've been thinking of the worse situations possible, like for example I just blew off Martins to be with him and he just ghosted me, or found another woman, or was rethinking the whole thing, se
"You guys please I think that's enough", I said."No Ivy please stay out of this, I think we need to have this conversation once and for all", Luther said walking up to Martins."Why the fuck do you hate me so much Martins? give me one reason? a good reason, and a better damn reason, just one solid reason why you despise me so much", Luther asked."Why won't I? do you know what it means living in your shadow? no one even knows I exist, nobody regards shit about me, everyone puts you first. I have nobody Luther, nobody, no family, not even one person to call mine. Our mother died and -""And I fucken took you in! I did. I treated you like my own blood but of course my father never wanted anything to do with you so you were thrown out and that is not my fault Martins!"."You stood there and watched your own blood get thrown out for being from another father?"."Martins! I was 12, what did you expect me to do? I was a child for damn sake. Oh my God, were you expecting me to fight my fath
