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
LAURA * * My life is falling apart in a million ways. And I can't do anything about it sadly. First I have to put up with pretending to like Ivy and now that son of a bitch is claiming to be carrying Luther's child. Like what is wrong with this man? is he deliberately trying to anger me? I pull up in front of a club. "Hi ma'am", the friendly bouncer says. "Is Blu in?", I asked. "Yes ma'am", he says and let me in. I walk straight to the VIP table and sit my ass down and sighed then I ordered two bottles of whiskey. "Is it me or do you reek of annoyance", Blu said walking over to the table. She was the owner of the Club, it was a women only strip club. "Annoyance is the least things I reek of, talk about rejection and hate", I said. "It is and Danger?", she asked sitting beside me. "Yess, Gosh I'm trying to tolerate his little shitty fiancee and this girl walks into his office the other day saying she's pregnant for him". Blu starts laughing, hard! "Bitch you're joking
Four weeks had passed and uhm, I can't say things have been normal.For some reason, Luther has gotten distant again. He disappears almost everyday and comes home late and barely even talks to me.I mean I would have thought work, but then this sick thought in my head kept telling me that he was going to See Tasha all the time..And I mean that's not suppose to be a problem because, she's pregnant right? and she might be carrying his child right? it's okay that he goes to check up on her but this regularly that he doesn't even talk to me?And before you ask why I'd think of that, Tasha has never showed up again after that night, ever! and if she's coming around it means she's not getting Luther, but now that she isn't coming around anymore what do you want me to think?Although she left the house that night in a creepy way and said some creepy things but in all honesty I'm still convinced he's seeing her.Am I jealous? what no of course not, I mean why will I be jealous the Luther is
I was standing in front of my mirror looking at my self, I kept on touching my neck to be sure what happened a few hours ago was real.His long nails had dug deep into my skin that it left bruises there. The skin around there was redMy room door opened and my mother walked in."Honey what happened, you said it was an emergency"I pointed at my neck.She looked closely at it, "What happened... looks like someone tried to strangle you, who did this?", she asked examining it."Luther", I said suppressing my rage.She looked at me slowly, "What?"."Luther strangled me in his house today."What?", I could hear the shock and anger in her voice."Why? why would he? I mean what the fuck?""First of all, I said something about the Cowper family being dangerous which scared Ivy""It's always that bitch, it's always her!", she said getting ready pissed."Second of all, he claims that I killed Tasha even after he instructed me not to", I said again."Oh Honey you didn't kill her, I did", she sai
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
LUTHER **I was summoned for a family meeting and I already knew what it was about. 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. For one the reason The Cowper family is still standing today is because everyone pays allegiance to the throne. And if you step down the t
LAURA *I barged into my mom's room unexpectedly and there was this guy giving her heads under the sheets.He got out immediately."Get the fuck out!", I yelled."Oh c'mon Laura, can't this wait", she so caught up in the moment "Luther is dropping Mafia!", I announced."Huh?"."Man get out!", I yelled again.The dude got his ass up and went into the living room.I turned back to her, "Mom I need to kill Ivy El Fuego, I need to, I'm so tired of this bitch!"."What does she have to do with all of this? I thought she was out of the picture?"."He's changing because of her. She can't be with a serial killer and put her life in danger, he wants to drop everything to be with her"."But that's bad, that's terrible I mean we could die. He's what's protecting us, we're under the protection of The Cowper family, and if there is no Cowper family Cartel there is no us", she panicked."Exactly!".She sat up and rubbed her temples."I have to talk to him, we have to talk to him, he's going to loo
Why is my life so fucken complicated. A year ago, I was this weird as girl working my ass out for a days meal at my office, being as weird as usual.. Today, I'm standing in the white house for the president's birthday. You heard me right well. Martins took me to the white house to celebrate the president's birthday. Yes, in Washington, we took a private jet to Washington.When I asked him why he did it, he said something about connection and power and influence and some other things I really didn't hear because I was still in shock.I never ever expected to be seated in the same room with the president of the united state. Everything went so fuzzy and fast and before I knew it, it was all over and we were heading back home. We didn't stay back for socialization and all because I told him I was having social anxiety."Did you enjoy yourself?", he asked."I... I don't even know", I said still caught up In the moment."Well, there's plenty from where that came from", he said We start
"Luther", I said."No ivy, you can't stop me from liking you, or being attracted to you. You can stop me from being with you or being around you but you can't control my emotions and you can't control I make with my emotions because of you"."What if everything goes wrong, what if everything goes wrong, how am I supposed to live with the thought of ruining your life your family, everything".He held my hands gently and looked me deep in the eyes."I've never lost a battle Ivy, and not especially if it's one that has to do with you", he said.I swallowed hard, "What if... what if I don't want to love back, what if I'm not attracted to you, don't you think all this is a waste?", I said trying to convince him not to.He shrugged, "Are you not attracted to me?".I opened my mouth to speak but words... words refuse to obey me.Attracted? I am Way Beyond attracted."I don't know", I whispered."You said that things will be different if I wasn't a killer, and I can't go back to the past an
