LUTHER...**I crawled up my stairs, tired. What a crazy ass night. I just want to go to bed and sleep. I got into my room and threw my bloody clothes off my body. I checked through my phone and saw a text from Ben concerning something with Ivy. I texted my dad and wished him a happy birthday again but he was probably asleep.it was 3am.I suddenly didn't feel like sleeping anymore and decided to hit the roof top.I took my headphones with me and got a creete of beer and got there, it was quiet and cold, just like I liked it.I headed straight to the Jacuzzi and sank my body deep into it.The only thing that kept on ringing in my head were screams. That's what happens whenever I go under water.I hear the screams and cries of people I've hurt, intentionally or unintentionally, both the innocent and the guilty.Sometimes I try to run away from them, but of recent I've been embracing my demons.I got out of it when I felt like it was drowning me.It's the perfect time to face my demo
IVY * * I haven't left my room all day because of last night, I don't know if what happened was based on a drunk impulse or under his control but it was something. It felt real, too real like every word he said he actually meant it. I mean I thought the whole pretense was supposed to be when we're in public, but what he said really got me. After my antenatal check up and when Dr. Lizzy left I had to leave the room. I tiptoed downstairs and met the living room filled with Men. Maybe I should have just stayed in my room. "Hi Ivy", Owen had to make it loud and clear that I was there. Everyone's eyes went to me. Holy shit, my feet are cold. "That's Dangers fiancee right?", One of them asked. "Laura said Baby mama", another said. "Yes, His fiancee", Owen said heading to the stairs and held my hands and got me down. "Small friends gathering, you'll get used to it", he said. I nodded, I hope not. I felt Luther's arms around my waist from behind. "Well Hello you", he said.
LAURA **I can't lie, I've not been myself these couple of months and I can't lie about it.My life was going so perfectly well, too perfectly well, I had everything in control and everything going exactly as planned until Ivy showed up.Luther's father was dying soon, he needed a family to take over, I was the closest woman Luther had in his life, I was supposed to be the new Mrs Cowper but now everything is going south.The truth is, I knew that Luther will never love me, not even in his next life and he will never feel what I feel for him but I was willing to try, willing to hope that things will change and whether or whether not it works out, I was still going to be with him, forever.Now will you believe the pleasant surprise I get when I hear that a woman showed up for hell and is trying to tie him down with a pregnancy.And what pains me the most is how he's so willing to keep her and to make her stay, how he's so protective of her and how he treats her like a jewel, somethi
IVY*I just knew it wasn't gonna last, Luther was back to avoiding me again and acting like I didn't exist. I was getting used to how everything was going until when he started acting different and it felt so nice, but then it was all the alcohol.I had started a new hobby of recent. Before I started working, I use to love making designs for dresses. I would make the prettiest that you could ever imagine, but I never got the privilege to show case them to the world, and that wasn't going to pay my bills so I had to focus on work.Now I'm being a pregnant house woman I find myself day in day out making designs for dresses.Luther barged into my room unexpected."We have a dinner date in an hour, picked out a dress already for you, matches with mine, be down on time", he said casually and handed me the dress.I nodded, "Oh thank you", I said.He left immediately after.I can't even lie when I say I miss drunk him. Wish I could be drugging him more often.I picked up the dress and stare
"Hmm?", was the only thing that came out my throat. He then pulled away and gave me a short smile, "Extra 20 minutes go change the dress, big mistake", he said casually. I nodded, Yup very inappropriate, I agree. I rushed upstairs and shut my room door behind me. Now I'm a 100% sure that he's not drunk and this isn't public so what was that?!!! I exhaled and got into my closet and quickly changed into another black dress, this one was silky, long and had a slit at the side... just one. Then I got back downstairs and he was waiting for me. He didn't say a word, he just started walking outside. We headed towards the Limo and surprisingly he chose to be a gentle man and opened the door for me. I got in and so did he, the driver took off immediately. The ride was as usual, no word said till we got to the destination. I'm beginning to think I've been having illusions of how he's been acting of recent if we're being honest. We arrived the hotel and he got out of the car and helped
Martins was nice, funny and very mature. He's from a royal bloodline, but not his sister, she's more like his step sister.I asked him about his partner since it was a couples dinner and he told me that he didn't need a date because they were the hosts. His sight and him.She creates the event every year so she can meet a new rich man to steal. So he knew everything about this event and what goes on.For the moment I tried to enjoy myself, I hadn't spoken to anyone that wasn't involved in the Cowper family for months.Talking to someone about something that didn't involve Luther was refreshing."I really don't understand what your fiance would want in my sister that you do not have", he said."You're really beautiful, extremely stunning, very elegant ", he said.I smiled, broadly, when last did I hear that? someone compliment me? genuinely? been long."Thank you ", I said smiling."What is going on here?".It was Luther, he was standing at the door of the balcony with Ben.When did Be
I've been indoors lately, and this time it's because I want to be indoors. I only interact with my doctor and then Mrs Smith most times when she serves me food.I've dedicated my life to making designs for dresses, I've made lots of them and I plan of selling them online to at least get money of my own, just incase this whole thing with Luther goes wrong.We haven't seen each other for two weeks now, after what went down the other night. I hear his voice outside, I see him in the garden most times, but we haven't seen each other, and this time around I'm the one avoiding him.I just want to be alone for now, maybe if things could go any faster I would be out of here in no time.I'm more like a prisoner now and I'm trapped everyday in my thoughts. I don't know what to do anymore, and I don't know who to talk to about everything.I've thought about calling Martins, but I don't trust him enough to tell him everything that's going on, one little mistake and everything goes wrong? I'll be
Another night to sit with the Cowper's and pretend like I give a fuck about anything that has to do with them. Luther got out of the car and then stretched his hands out for me. I took it. "Remember the plan", he said as we approached the back of the house where they were having dinner. "Remind yourself that next time", I mumbled. Before he could say anything, his godfather noticed us. "There they are", he said soon as they saw us.They rose and bowed, something I Will never understand.Laura wasn't in the table today and boy did I feel relieved. At least no one to throw dagger stares at me.After we greeted ourselves, we sat down."Well I'm sorry for dragging you two love birdsg away from your home. I just want to make use of every moment I spend with you." His father said."Try a be a bit positive old man and you might just Live a bit longer "Luther teased."Well I mean you should be praying for me to die so that you can get the whole throne, maybe speed it up a bit and poison
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
