I got a belated birthday gift from Luther the next day. It was a basket full of flowers, White roses were my favourite, I use to collect them a lot when I was still in his house.I'm guessing he noticed, All Martins ever brought me were red roses, he never asked me if I loved them or if I ever wanted them.Luther was going to make moving on from him harder than I imagined.I honestly thought he forgot, because everyone else did, including Martins, but he didn't.I put the basket in my room and carried on my entire week pretending like everything was fine.I just couldn't help but feel so sorry for Luther.He wanted out so badly, he really wanted to, and now Owen is dead? it's so heart breaking.I got back from work and met a very shocking visitor in front of my porch."Laura?", I asked so surprised because this is the second time I'm seeing her here.She had a cigarette in her hands, she wasn't crying but she really looked messed up."Can I uhm... can I have some of those your homemad
TWO MONTHS AFTER * * * "Boss", Ben said coming into my office. "There's a woman that has been coming over to the house for the past three days now, requesting to see you. She said it's urgent and personal ". "What does she want?", I asked. "I don't know, she's refused to talk, probably all these beggars that needs money and all", he said. I paused, "Let her in, let's see what she has to say, check her up first, need to be sure she's not a suicide bomber", I said. "Yes boss ", he said and left. I pulled out my cheque booklet from my drawer and wrote a Cheque of $1000, I'm already used to these kind of conversations, and I'm really not interested in hearing whatever sad story they have to tell. My office door opened and a very strong familiar scent hit me. "Name?", I said without even looking up ready to write her name on it and give it to her. "Ivy ", she said. That name, I remember. I looked up immediately and my eyes met the most beautiful pair of golden
IVY***I shouldn't have told him about the pregnancy, maybe I should have just aborted it and moved on with my life.Now I feel like I'm going to regret this, all of this. He was way different from my man I met at the club the other day, that guy was full of life and fun and cheerful, this person was so different.I'm just glad he didn't deny anything to do with me, I just wanted a little fund, to get my life together then start up a business so I'll be able to raise the baby, I could do it on my own, I really didn't need his help in this, but him coming to say I should drop the baby when due and leave? no, I wouldn't.I want to stay with my baby, that's all I want, but I just needed a little financial help, not all this happening."Ben Is here", Cathy said coming into my room.I sighed, "Should have never gone looking for him", I mumbled.She came to hug me, "Ivy you got this, okay mean yeahh they're rumors about him being a killer and all but I don't know that's true, he's just r
The sun smiled on my face today it was calm and breezy, I heard the birds singing at my window, I didn't want to get out of bed because men this felt like heaven. Only then did I get scared because my bed was never comfortable, it was always hard and painful and I liked it that way because it always woke me up on time for work, and birds were never near my window because I liked In an apartment. My eyes flashed open. I found myself in this Queen sized bed in this very beautiful room, my brain finally clicked and I remembered where I was . "Sleeping beauty finally woke up", I heard Luther say and he appeared from the other side of the room. "Uhm, hi, ughh, Good morning", I said. "Afternoon actually, it's past 12pm, shit did I sleep this Long? He handed me a box. "Here, I got you a new device, one I'll be able to track you with easily and know your location, I've transferred all your documents from your other phone to this, you're welcome ", he said. I was quiet for like, few s
Ivy* * * We pulled up in front of a castle, I kid you not I mean an actual castle..Fuck it, no one told me that Cowper family was this rich?? Maybe after the whole pregnancy saga I could talk to Luther to get me a job or something, it wouldn't be so hard, at least I wouldn't be a burden on him. "Ivy", Luther called. "Remember what I told you this morning?", he asked. "That i should act like I'm your girlfriend?" "Yes, now you have to make this look real as shit, , you have to act like you're madly in love with me , that's the only way to make this work, else there's nothing I can do for you, and Laura is going to be there " "So what if she says something?", I asked. "She wouldn't, she knows I'll kill her myself ", he said. I nodded my head, I can do that, pretend to be in love that's not so hard, right??. "You ready to go?", he asked. I nodded. He got out of the limo and then brought his hand out for me, I took it, ouu, such a gentle man. We got out of the c
IVY * * * "Sir that's too fast , I mean they've only known each other for two months, you can't just let the future Mrs Cowper to be a random woman, you don't even know her that well ", Laura said panicking. "Well she's already carrying his baby so why not, and if things don't go so well they can always get a divorce, but that'll be after she has the baby ". "But We've been together for 3 years and you never mentioned anything about us getting married". "That's because you weren't carrying his baby ", his father said in an end of conversation tone. Laura swallowed hard to hold her anger. "Dad I don't think I'm ready to get married so soon", Luther said. "Well you should have thought of that before getting her pregnant ", his father replied. "However you want to do it, but it must be before the delivery date", his father finished. I swallowed hard, this was not just happening. This is so unreal, no way. "Excuse me uhm, where's the bathroom?", I asked. "Second
Luther***Ivy dashed out of the car immediately we arrived home. She's probably not taking the whole marriage thing so we'll, and neither am I."Are you actually going to marry that girl?", Ben asked.I shrugged, "We could fake marry, when dad's out of the picture we can then go back to our normal lives", I said.He sighed, "This is frustrating", he said."Tell me about it, I'll go talk to her", I said and got out of the car.I got into the living room and she wasn't there, I heard muffles from the kitchen, I sighed.I opened the door and met her wrapped up in a ball on the floor. The fuck??"Ivy?", I called.She was murmuring things are could barely understand. She was crying.I ran to the floor."Ivy?"I called again shaking her."I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for everything", she said in between sobs."Ivy what is it? talk to me", I said again holding her in my hands Ben got into the kitchen and saw us."The fuck is going on?", he asked."I don't know I just came in here and saw her l
Luther * * * I got back home drenched in blood. I don't know why people keep setting themselves up to be killed. Why would you invite me to your house for business meeting and start threatening me with a gun when you know I'll still kill you. It was already afternoon, I was tired, I just went straight to my room and hit the shower, washing off all the blood on me off. Then I got dressed and headed for my office, I had a visitor waiting for me there. "Mrs Anna", I said as I entered my office and heading for my seat. "Don Danger", she said, stood up and gave a short bow. "Nice to see you again", she said smiling. "I wish I could say so too", I muttered under my breath. "You asked to see me", she said. "Yes, uhm, How do you see Ivy?", I asked. She gave a satisfied face, as if she thought she had a say in any of this. "Well, I mean she's a beautiful woman", she started off nicely. "And uhhh, she's ok but not for someone like you, she doesn't know what happens in this family,

Ivy **I've occupied myself with work for the past 3 weeks. I've ignored Martins, even when he came to my office to see me, I told my PA to tell him I was in a meeting.I'm so fed up with the whole Cowper family drama, but I'll be a liar if I say I don't feel hurt about what Luther did to me.I got home today tired and exhausted and I just wanted to go to bed and sleep.It was my birthday today though.My office did a little celebration for me with a cake and some balloons and wine, I guess I've been their best manager yet so they had to do something special for me, and it was just perfect.I never really got to enjoy my birthdays, they were always the same.I got a call from Amber later that day and my brothers wishing my happy birthday. They asked I come around for Amber's proper white wedding to his wife which was in two weeks.I guess I do need to bond with them, I promised I would be there.I was just about to fall asleep when my doorbell rang.I groaned.it was definitely Mart
IVY **No, I don't feel horrible about Fucking Luther and then waking up to see he had left without telling me and didn't called me for two weeks even after I called him and texted him checking up on me and he read the text and never replied.No of course I don't feel horrible, I'm perfectly fine.Okay let's drop the act.Why the actual fuck will someone pretend to be so into you, and the very moment you finally sleep with him he disappears from your bed before morning and ghosts you right after, why?? is that even legal? Oh my God I can't believe I let my guard down again! after promising myself that I won't let this man into my life, I'm such a-My thoughts were I interrupted by a knock on my door.Is it .. Luther?I rushed out of the kitchen and went to the door to open.My smile went down a bit."Ivy"."Martins", I said faking a smile.He handed me flowers.As usual."Come in", I said and led him inside.We started with the small talks and all and he mentioned he was tired, he
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
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
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
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... 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
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
