IVY * * Laura was sitting in Luther's office when I walked in, I sighed, here we go again. She turned to me and smiled, "Hello, Ivy," she said in a tone I'd never heard her use. I looked at Luther; he looked back at me; we had the same look on our faces; What the fuck?? "Uhm... Hello", I said. "You look pale; pregnancy is a bitch, huh?" she asked again. I looked at Luther again, "Uhhh... yeah". "What's going on?", I asked. "Laura said she wanted to see you", Luther said finding it hard to believe himself. He had a gun on his table, so I'm guessing he doesn't trust her to be genuine and he's ready if she tries anything funny. "See me?", I asked. The last time we spoke, I said a lot of things to her that I do low-key regret, so I know she has nothing good to tell me. "Well, we never actually got to know each other well, and all, so I thought we could do some girly stuff while at it, maybe go shopping or something. " Luther laughed. Yeah, girly stuff like st
"You know this would have been a lot better if Ben wasn't hawking around us", Laura groaned."So you can kill Ivy and hide her dead body and let Don kill me? No way", he stated.She rolled her eyes, "Anyway, how do you like this Chanel bag?" she asked, handing me this ginger-colored bag.It fit my hair color perfectly."It's beautiful", I stated.Oh, and it's also $10,000. Yeah, I'll pass."Good let's add this to the cart and head home", she said.I paused, "Let's be for real here; what are you playing at? Why are you doing all this? The last time we spoke, you looked like you were going to kill me, and now, all of a sudden, you want to be nice to me?"."Exactly; the last time we spoke, things went ba,d, okay? And you're going to be my boss soon, God knows the things you could do to me, I'm trying to not let you think about all of that ", she said."You're still obsessed with Luther; how could you just be okay with it all of a sudden?"It's a silly crush; I'll get over it with time; a
Someone had been ringing the doorbell for a long time now, and no one answered it, so I went to check it out myself. It was a delivery guy. "Hi", I said. "Good day, ma'am; we're to deliver this to an Ivy Cowper?". My cheeks flared, he didn't just call me that, did he? "That will be me", I said. "Okay, it came in from Mr. Luther Cowper; please sign this here", he said, handing me a pen. Luther? Why is Luther sending me something when he can just get it here himself? I signed it anyway and took the box from him, thanked him, and went back inside. I dropped the box on the couch. What if it wasn't from Luther? What if it was from Laura and it was a bomb or something?? No, Laura wouldn't go that far to kill me, at least not yet. Or so I think. I opened the box and paused in surprise. It was a dress, a green dress, a very, very pretty green dress. I have no idea how he knew he knew my favorite color, but this was so pretty, and it had a pair of silver heels to match it. The
IVY * * I smiled. No I was blushing!! "A helicopter?", I asked smiling. "Yeahh, you scared of height?", he asked. No it's just... I... I've never been in one before ". "Good, there's a first time for everything ", he said. "I... I'm sorry what is going on?", I asked nervous as fuck. "Where's going on a date on a Helicopter, what else?". "Why?", I asked calmly. He shrugged. "We should get to know each other better, right?" I nodded slowly... right. "Good", he stretched out his hands. I took it and he walked me to the helicopter. It was so loud when we get closer. He gave Ben and sign and he responded and then left. He helped me up and we got in. "Wait are you the one flying this?", I yelled because I could barely hear my voice. ,He nodded. Okay I shouldn't be worried?? I mean should I? "Do you even know how to fly it?", I asked genuinely worried.He chuckled."Yes Ivy", he said strapping a belt on me and him."Now just sit back and relax", he said.Relax? hell no
Ivy **This was the Luther I met that night at the party, and the best part is that he's not drunk, there are no people around to say it's pretence, it's just the two of us so I know this is real."Living in an orphanage was kinda a bit fun if we're being honest. I had like 99 other siblings. We got to share everything together, from food to clothes and all.But then as time went on the people I was close to got adopted and for some reason, I was never picked"."They're all crazy not to pick you , I'd literally pick you in a room filled with kids, literally ", he said munching down on his pork chops.I smiled a little, he's been saying things to make me smile a lot tonight.Like he is so sweet and caring.I could never imagine him being like this to me, I've pinched myself like three times already and it's actually real."Okay so I want to ask, what was your relationship with Laura before I got into the picture? be honest".He shrugged, "Wasn't anything serious ", he said."With the
"So I heard you Went on a date with Danger last weekend", Laura stated. I could swear she's been wanting to talk about it the very moment she saw me. "Yeah", I said moving over to the other side of the boutique so she wouldn't talk about it again. But she followed. "Helicopter date huh?, that's cute", she chirped in again. "Yeah it was ". "I mean it's cute but I would never became like, I'm supper scared of heights", she said again. Bitch I don't care. "Oh ... okay" "Yeah, so did you have fun?". "Yeah I did", I said picking a by green lacy dress that looked so gorgeous. "Oh Danger doesn't like that color, I wore it one time and he said I looked like a twig", she said laughing. "Oh really? because that's kinda the color of the dress I wore to the date last week, which he got for me ", I stated. Laura looked shocked, she tried to maintain composure. "Oh... oh wow", she tried not to scoff, "That's, that's so surprising, I could have sworn he called me a twig when I wore som
I placed my hands on my head and sighed.I turned to Luther, he was busy doing stuffs on his Laptop not even caring about what is going on here."Now you listen the fuck to me you piece of shit", Laura started."I can tolerate anyone in the world, I can tolerate Ivy, but you? hell no. So if you know what's good for you, pick your ass up, remove that bastard in your womb and get the fuck out of here before I make you disappear with no traces"."Are you threatening her?", her other friend started."Well what else does it look like I'm doing?"."Look I've been taking care of myself for the past 8 months all alone , and there is no way I'm gonna take care of this child alone, so you better be ready to be a daddy Luth-""Don't fucken call me that", Luther said looking at her calmly.She immediately regained her composure."Now Tasha, I get it, you're pregnant and you're broke and you're looking for money, I'll give you $5000 cheque, go make a life out of it and stop disturbing me with this
"What's going on in your head?", he asked calmly.I shrugged, "Uhm, I don't know, a lot"."Ivy she's not carrying my child", he stated."And if she is?", I asked.He sighed and rolled his eyes, "If it's ever possible, it means I was raped in my sleep", he said sarcastically."I don't know", I mumbled scratching my arm."Listen you have-"He was interrupted by a knock on his door, it was Ben."The emergency meeting you called for earlier, with the district staffs; they're here", he stated.He turned to me and then back to Ben."Alright then , bring them in", he said and Ben left."We'll have this conversation later", he said and I stood up and went back to my room.I shut the door and sighed and crashed to the ground.I just knew it, nothing good can ever last this long.But then again, I'm not suppose to feel anyway. Luther can have as much women as he wants.He's not my boyfriend or my real fiancee or even my husband, he's my soon to be baby daddy.Nothing too special.I'll just have
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
