IVY**I hated places like this, there were women with power and I'm talking high class women of power in here. Women that I know I can never be and the worse part is Laura kept introducing me to all of them. She was made for this kind of stuff, not me."SO Ivy this is my good friend Blu, she's the queen around here and she's also the owner of this male strip club called the Queendom, Blu this is Ivy, Luther's fiancee", Laura said.She took a long look at me, "You're the Ivy?", she asked.oh shit, "the"?? I'm so cooked."Pleasure to meet you", I said stretching out my hands for a friendly handshake."Wish I could say the same", she said and walked out on me That was cold... But then again that's not the first person that has done that since I got here, it's like they all have this idea about me. Here they weren't looking at me with jealousy or anything, talking and whispering Like every other event I've been to, they didn't even give a shit about me. All they knew was that I was Lut
LUTHER*Immediately I was sure Ivy had gotten into her room and turned to Laura and I swear I would have killed her at this point."Danger I am...so sorry, I didn't, I didn't even know that -""You had one job, one job Laura, what if something had happened to her? Or what if she had walked in on us?!"."I'm so sorry, okay, I'm so sorry, I noticed she disappear some seconds after she left and I asked the guards and they said she left with the driver because she was feeling sick and I tried calling the driver but he wasn't even picking up and then I tried calling you and you weren't -""All these excuses or unnecessary Laura "."I'm sorry Danger, I really am".I sighed and raked my hair."How did you take care of everything, where are they?".I was tracking her and I noticed her leaving, and then one of the guards called and said she had left and she was obviously heading home, had to clean up", he said.'Where are they?", she asked."Basement ", I said and started heading out of my of
IVY**I'm in my 8th month in this pregnancy, I have one month left to be here and I keep asking myself, after this what's next?I don't want to be part of this family, I feel unsafe here, I feel like there's a lot I don't know about. I somehow feel this place is okay for my child but it's not okay for me, at all. I look at them everyday, everyone here is fake, under a mask and worse is, they're not telling you what they're hiding, you just have to find out.I've thought about getting the job as the Manager of my other company, you know the time we met at the dinner that Luther told me to, and I'm also thinking about going fully into fashion and designs , I've thought about a lot of things, and I've also thought about Luther, a lot.He's one bag of confusion.One second it's like he's this sweet angel and next second he's cold.My feelings for him hasn't faded one bit, but this is me trying to protect my heart at all cost. Every single person I meet tells me the same thing about the
LUTHER *For some reason I was being very emotional right now. I've been thinking of it too; her leaving and I don't want it to happen, I really don't.I don't know it's going to be like if she leaves, I mean yes I get to see her from time to time but it's different.Like I just literally asked her what she wants me to change about the world, lol.She sighed, "I don't know, it's... it's a lot to ask for", she said."Take your time whenever you feel like you're okay with talking about it I'm always here".She gave me one of those her cute smile and nodded.Everything thing went smoothly from there . We talked, we laughed, we had fun.I don't know why I didn't think about this sooner, we'll definitely be doing this more often.By the time we were finished it was already late and she was talking about being tired and sleepy.We got home and Mrs Ann was in the living room, and boy did she look tense."Mrs Ann, any problem?", I asked."Uhm, oh it's nothing, nothing out of the ordinary", s
IVY*After about 10 minutes, I got out of the shower and put on my robe. I heard a faint scream. And it definitely sounded like it was coming from this house.I got up and got out. I checked Luther's office and he wasn't there, I checked his room and he wasn't there either. I got outside and started heading to the back of the house to check the pool side and I found the basement door opened. Since I got here, I have never seen that place open before. I was hearing voices and screams from there.I should go back, whether is going on there is none of my business... right?Wrong, because I found myself standing at the entrance of the place."....this is the reputable Cowper family that we all envy in this town, this is who you truly are".. someone screamed.I heard Laura say something. I wanted to go back, I wanted to turn back and leave but my mind, my spirit, my body, my soul didn't want to leave. I started walking down the stairs. I got to the base and found myself in a poorly lit ro
I want to remind you that I was in my bathing robe all this while and my hair slightly damp. I got into this 24 hours cafe and then I called Cathy, she said she wasn't in town and that the spare key wasn't even with her and she promised she'll take the first train by morning to come see me because I sounded so distressed. The only person that came to my mind was Martins.I could have booked a room, but whatever transaction I make will reflect on Luther's side and I didn't want him to find me until I was ready to see him."Hello", I said soon as he picked up."Martins Armstrong, how can I help you", he said."It's uhm, it's Ivy... Ivy from... from the uhm, from the Couples dinner, you ...you gave me your contact and uhm-""It's okay I remember you, are you okay? you sound-""I'm not... I know, I know I don't know you and you don't know me and hell you Could even be a serial killer and I could be walking into another trap maybe even worse than the one I'm running away from but I just -"
It's been 3 days, exactly 3 days since I last saw Ivy and I am loosing my mind.I reached out to her friend Cathy and she said she spoke to her that night but she wasn't in town and she's been trying to reach her but she hasn't heard from her since then.I've been having crazy thoughts, crazy ass thoughts like she was killed,not she decided to kill herself, because Ivy acts like someone that's suicidal... very suicidal.I've tried tracking her phone, her last location was a Cafe down the street and the workers there said she was last seen with a man. I don't even know who to think of because Ivy never talks to anyone, I really don't know her as much as I think I do."Danger,you need to calm down", Laura said for the 700th time."I can't"."Look, I know Ivy is alive, geez, and if you find her, what are you going to say to her? what do you plan on telling her? She needs space Danger, you just have to give her that until she sorts her mind out and she's ready to talk to you."I exhaled
LAURA *My mother is a badass, can't even lie.However she was able to call the mayor and send those guys to Luther's house, however she left the door open and how she knew Ivy was going to walk in and how she pretended like she knew nothing about this, shocks me honestly.The plan had worked, too perfect. And it's better she's with Martins, at least he can charm her all he wants and take her away from Luther, I don't care.But, I still had to keep up this fake act .I knocked on the hotel room door and few seconds later it opened and boy was she frightened and not happy to see me."Hi bestie", I said with my usual fake smile.Oh but she wasn't happy to see me."How did you find me?", she asked walking in slowly.I got in and shut the door."Did Martins -"Martins didn't tell me anything, I have my ways and no Luther doesn't know you're here"."So uhm.. what.. what are you doing here?", she asked, I could see her reach for a pocket knife on the table behind her."Ivy relax, if I want
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
"You... you love me?", I asked."I thought that was so obvious, I mean even my enemies know you're my weakness and my strength at the same time so... of course I do, I love you so much.I mean I gave my entire life to be with you and I'll do it again and again and again because I love you ".I swallowed hard."I don't... I don't know what to say Luther...I don't ".He held my hands."Okay, let me ask you something, if I wasn't this person... Don Danger, if I was just Luther would you love me?"."Of course ", I whispered."Then stop seeing me as that person, I'm Luther, just Luther, have you ever wondered why you're the only human in the world that doesn't call me Don Danger? because I'm not that person when I'm with you, I feel so free and myself.... you're the best thing that has ever happened to me in years and yes I promised myself, I promised you that I'll leave you alone but I can't... I just can't Ivy, I can't let you be alone, I can't "."What if this doesn't work out? what if
IVY *Amber's calls to check up on me every single day, he has gotten more security around my house and they follow me everywhere. He has assured me that I have nothing to be afraid of, and for some reason I believed him.I had no idea what was going on and I couldn't trust anyone, not even the ones that tell me to trust them. I can only trust my family because I know they want what's best for me.I'm so grateful to God I found Amber, I don't know what I would have done without him.It was Saturday evening and I was making some lasagna when one of the security informed me that I had a guest."Who is it?".Because I'm definitely not expecting to meet anyone today."It's Don Danger Madam".Oh shit Luther.I sighed."Let him in", I said and grabbed my knife.Few seconds later, he came in to the kitchen.He relaxed on the door and smiled at me."I love how you're so security conscious now, it's cute", he said."Well I don't trust anyone so...""And why do you think I'd hurt you? clearly
LAURA**My room door flew open and Martins sister barged in."Are you out of your fucken mind?", I yelled dropping my gun that I was ready to use on her"I'm supposed to be asking you that question, why are you working with my brother to take down Luther and put Ivy's life in danger, do you have any idea the kind of risk you're taking?", she asked.Trust me princess, I know how crazy it sounds.But I can't let you know I do."That's your brothers idea and none of mine"."Laura, clearly you have to be smarter than this, bringing Owen down is possible, very easy, but not Luther, not him!"."I'm just heading to his instructions princess, so go and lay your complains on him"."Gosh, you have no idea what you're doing, come with me!", she yelled pulling me out of the bed and dragging me downstairs."Bitch what the fuck?".She ignored me and pulled me downstairs.My mother and Martins were there.Disgusting."I need three of you to please listen to me. You are making the biggest mistake o
