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

    IVY**Luther has been different ever since the day his father died. He's usually cold and all but it's different. I've been a shadow before, so I know when someone's becoming the same.He's depressed, he's acting like he's fine but he's not, it's like every second he's slipping away. I know what it feels like to be this, I've been this way all my life.I know I can help him but, he's not going to let me in.He didn't show up for his father's funeral, he's barely at home, the few times he's around when his family comes to see him he puts up this fake profile of being happy, but I could see through it, clearly.I strolled downstairs and met Ben in the living room, this was a week after the funeral."Uhm hey, is Luther around?", I asked."I can barely even track his movement", he said sounding genuinely worried.He sighed and raked his hair."He's depressed", I said, "The death is affecting him more than how he's making it seem", I said."He keeps saying he's fine that it's a phase an

    I sighed, "I never got over them, I never got comfort, never got closure, I was carrying this invincible pain that no one could see. I started things up, got a scholarship to go to college, got multiple jobs, graduated well, and got a good job. I loved my job; I was so good at it. It made me think less about my sad life and focus more on building the company. And that's what I did. Until I lost it, I started slipping into depression again, Kathy could see it all over me. And to top it all up, the day I lost my job was my parents death anniversary, so it was a lot. I went to their graves after I got my resignation letter, and I cried my heart out; I cursed them, and I cried that I missed them. I was alone in this world, and nothing made sense to me anymore; I didn't even see the use of living because what was I living for? I gave myself more than enough time to grieve. When I was done crying, I went to the club that day, and that was when I met you..", I slowly slipped into th

    LAURA**I threw away what seemed to be the remains of the 7th cigarette I had lit today."That was your mistake, not mine".Those words Luther said to me still echoed in my head. I have been a fool all my life. All I've ever done was beg for love from someone who never wanted me.I knew it, I knew he did but I couldn't bring myself to believing it, now it was all clear, very very clear.Luther's father had given Ivy the position of the Cowper's father heiress whether or not she decides to stay with him, she was now officially part of the family; a family that I played on role in building from scratch.A one night stand just walked in and stole everything from me.I cursed and poured myself another glass of alcohol.Obsession is a cruel thing, it truly is."Rough night?", my mother asked coming behind me.I rolled my eyes, I am not ready for any of this, at all."If you're here to convince me that I shouldn't give up on Danger then please leave", I said calmly.She was part of the fa

    But the problem was, I wasn't going to tell him to stop, I wasn't because I've deprived my body of this feeling of wanting him badly and having him and now my body has a mind of it's own and it's going crazy.His hands snaked around my waist and pulled the laces of my dress off and peeled my dress off my body.Our eyes met for two seconds, it was filled with raw lust and passion. He picked me up again and sealed our lips, and carried me to the living room and laid me on the couch. He stared at my body and bit my lips. "You're insanely sexy Ivy", he whispered before kissing me again.Damn it!!His hands began to explore my body, all over it, everywhere.Taking his time to massage my breasts. His lips moved from my lips and trailed kisses from my neck slowly, biting and sucking down to my chest, to mu breast.He held one in his left hands, grabbing gently, teasing my nipples, slowly, drawing soft circles all over. His mouth went to the other, doing the same thing his other hand was do

    DISCLAIMER: SEXUAL SCENE AHEAD.Ivy **So let's pretend like, Laura didn't come to the front of my house to cry and then I helped her and she just walked out of me and said whatever she said... let's pretend that didn't happen.Martins disappeared after the last time I saw him, I've been unable to reach him everywhere... I didn't think about it too much because...

I've been so busy all week making sure that the event must be a huge success, it was my first time hosting an event like this, and I had to ensure it'll go well else I'd just cry.I was socializing with everyone; Something I hated to do. But for my com

    IVY**Someone has been sitting in front of my house crying for the past 30 minutes and it's few minutes past midnight, at first I thought of calling the cops but... I didn't even know why I was hesitant.But it was giving gory horror movie vibes.After getting a knife from my kitchen, I went to the door and opened it."Laura?", I asked so scared and confused."What.... what are you doing here?".What if this was a trap and if I get closer to her she'll kill me.But then why would she want to kill me? I'm out of her life entirely, and I did try to convince Luther not to leave Mafia, I did my best, and he's obviously not leaving because of me.... I think.The point is, why would she want to kill me?"Do you think I'm cursed?", she asked in cleaning her tears."What?"."Do you think I'm cursed? like there's this I don't know, curse hoovering over my head"."Why'd you ask?"."Because everything is pointing to the fact that I just might be cursed ", she cried."Uhm... oh".I genuinely di

    IVY**There was a knock on my door.I went to open it and it was Martins.He had flowers in his hands."What do you want?", I asked coldly."I'm sorry for my outburst the other day, that was so wrong and rude, I had no right to talk to you like that, I was just infuriated because I was seeing you with Luther and it just ticked me off, I hate him, very obvious and... it was just so wrong I'm so sorry".I crossed my hands on my chest, "When were you going to tell me that Luther was your brother? I mean how could you even keep that kind of Information from me?"."Because I genuinely don't want to be his brother, I don't, I hate the fact that he's my brother to start with and all he did was treat me like I didn't matter at all".I sighed and rubbed my temples."I'm so sorry Ivy, for everything. Everything"."Martins you're becoming... I don't know, different and it's really not something I can't explain. I mean you're becoming a control freak and it's getting out of hands "."I'm sorry,

    "Marry you?", I asked laughing."You're insane to think I'll settle down for someone like you"."Non negotiable", he stated.My mother walked in immediately."What the fuck am I hearing?", I raged immediately."Calm down Laura", she said."No I'm not going to calm down, I'm not. Because you clearly told me that you wanted us to move here to Miami so we could have a normal life outside the Cowper's and now I'm hearing you had this master plan all along to make Luther want to step down by bringing Martins in the picture and put me in the spotlight so I could have the throne and now you're planning on killing Owen so I can have to throne and get married to Martins? are you insane mom?"."Laura sit down let's talk this out "."Hell no! and Martins I don't get you.i thought you clearly stated that you didn't want anything to do with the Cowper's, I mean My godfather even left you a Cheque and you bluntly turned it down "."Well it would ruin the reputation I'm trying to keep, besides you w

    LAURA **I sensed someone's presence in my house when I entered into it.The lights were turned off so I couldn't see the person, but someone was sitting on my couch.I acted like I didn't notice it and went to the wine booth where I usually hid my emergency gun and pulled it out slowly and then went to the switch, then I turned on the light and turn pointed the gun to the person."Martins what the fuck?", I questioned shocked because why is he in my house.He had a cigarette in his hand."Want some?", he asked, ignoring the question I asked."What the fuck are you doing in my house? how the fuck did you even get in?", I asked again ready to shoot him."Your mom let me in, she just recently left like 30 minutes ago".My mom??Yeahh I knew she was in my house, she did mention."The fuck are you talking about? why the fuck would my mom want to interact with a cunt like you?""Drop the gun Laura, and let's talk"."No you start talking before I blow your brains out, what are you doing h

    IVY***I think Martins is doing too much, and it's making me think he's trying to do it to get back to Luther, somehow.Something like, "He did it but I can do better".And it's getting really creepy.He brings me flowers everyday at work, and that's really cute but the write up that follows are crazy. Something's like, "Getting you the flowers no one else could get you" and " Me over them all" and " he doesn't love you like I do" and " Putting a smile on your face cuz they could never".And he's obviously talking about Luther.I mean this would be cute if Luther wasn't in the picture and center of it all.And he's becoming really overprotective, aggressively protective and in all honesty it's getting really irritating.Like the other day he showed up at work unannounced, he said it was a surprise and that was sweet. But tell me why he got mad cuz I was talking to my co worker? he said the guy was obviously flirting with me and he even threatened to punch him in the face if he ever

    LUTHER *"Do you have any regard for me? even the least?", Laura asked barging into my office.I was with Owen, we were doing some work stuffs and handing over some things to him. Owen read the room and excused himself."Danger, I left your family and all your bullshit for good and you came back with your pity story and you said that you wanted me back in the game, and now you give everything to Owen?? Owen?? not me! What exactly do you take me for?"."Laura I really appreciate your effort and help but... you have to understand that this is way too serious than every other stuffs we've been doing, one wrong decision made and I'll regret it more than leaving the seat vacant. I'm sorry but I don't think you can handle it", I said calmly.She calmed down too."Why do you think I can't? because I'm a woman?"."Have I ever played the gender card role when it involves you? no Laura it's not because you're a woman "."Then what? cuz I'm now a true Cowper?", she asked."You'll always be my

That kind of information would send my entire family into rage and Laura already did me a favour passing it to them, it was time to face themLaura and her mother, Owen, my God father, my uncle's and my aunt's were there along side with some of my other cousins that play little or no role to the whole of this."Don Danger", My godfather started immediately I got settled."Information reaching us is that .... you're planning on quitting Mafia because of your ex fiance?".Everyone gasped and started mumbling.I shook my head."I'm quitting because I want to, she's just a bonus mark", I corrected.They all looked uneasy and started exchanging glances and thinking of how they were going to say whatever it is they wanted to say."Danger, that is a very dangerous idea.
