"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
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,
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
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... Martins is Martins.And today, we were having our annual Dinner Banquet in our office.. it was more or less like a fund raising event, my boss would invite a lot of his rich friends and his rich friends friends... they'll socialize, talk business and get investors for us.I'm the manager of this company, so trust me when I say I'm under pressure, I'm under serious pressure. 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
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
LAURA * * Owen has been inaugurated fully, he was now the one controlling things. I'm supposed to be happy with the development, I can work with him better than I would with Luther because I have no grudge against him. We could work as a team and run this business well. But I can't be, because my mother wants to destroy everything. I'm supposed to kill Owen, Owen of all people in the world! He's such a sweet pure and innocent soul, he doesn't deserve it, any of it. A part of me wants to tell Luther everything, another part of me can't. I got back from Brazil a few days ago after sn encounter with this woman I've been dying to meet. . And she asked me not to walk down the wrong path, but I clearly was. Because I was sitting in the middle of this hotel room waiting to kill Owen. He came to Miami to see Luther for something's and, I told him to meet me at the hotel when he was done. Told him it was a private meeting and so he shouldn't let anyone know he's with me. About a
LUTHER **Ivy looked so beautiful when she sleeps.It was 3am and I couldn't sleep so I stayed up staring at her.I want to keep this woman, I really want to.I'm willing to change things, change my life, leave everything behind and be with her, only if she'll let me.My phone started ringing, it was Laura.Was why she calling me this late?I picked the call and everything she said left me shocked, speechless and shaking. My head was spinning.I couldn't wrap my head around it and I was trying to be as calm as possible.Owen was dead???Just few weeks after being inaugurated?? how?? how did this happen??I got out of bed slowly trying not to wake Ivy up.I put on my clothes and dashed out immediately.She was probably going to hate that I left her all alone in the morning.But I had bigger issues.While I was driving, I was calling everyone I could reach out to that night to come to Miami asap.My cousin just got killed.The supposed Cowper heir.Whoever is doing this wants only me
Everyone was looking at me surprised."But you quit? you wanted out of the game to get a new life right?", my godfather asked.I nodded, "And where did that get us? Owen's dead. Seems like this lifestyle keeps chasing me everywhere, I'm the fucken Cowper heir and so be it"."Have you uhm... considered giving it to another person, I mean we all knew that Owen was a good fit but... he wasn't that powerful, only the throne gave him the power", Laura's mother said."And get another person dead? no"."Consider Laura for example, they didn't kill her, the only reason she got injured was because she was trying to protect Owen, maybe they didn't want Owen , they wanted someone else there".I inhaled the hot and burnt taste of the cigarette and released it."That person is going to be me"."Luther i-""It's Don Danger now", I stated."Look I'm only saying that -""godmother, I appreciate whatever it is you're trying to do but we have a serial killer that we have to go after and I'm going to fi
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
