It was dark, but the first thing Ivory heard was the sound of ringing in her ear. Her entire body ached, her head felt like it was ready to split open, but the pain, compared to the ringing, was nothing."Fuck," she muttered and tried to move, but paused the moment she heard something watery...Liqu

Ivory had taken a lot of things from granted, one of those things, being the heat she constantly had in her house and the other, was the house itself.But now, as she stood in front of a branch built hut with flimsy doors and nearly none existent windows, no power, no heat and most definitely no bat

“So…what’s the sudden change of heart? You have never apologized to me before, so why are you doing it now?”Because he had feelings for her. That was the truth, but Gadreel knew better than to go right off the bat and say that.He wanted to take things slow. First start by fixing what was broken, a
The sun had began setting, bathing the sky with a beautiful glow of purple and orange. In front of her, the fire crackled, shooting vague sparks as it’s light had already began dying out.With her arms wrapped around her knees, Ivory tried ignoring the tiredness that was creeping in. From time to ti
She kicked her legs, her arms, trying her best to resurface, but it was no use. She couldn’t move, she couldn’t breathe and she couldn’t-“Gadreel,” She choked, her last breath escaping her mouth, along with a cloud of bubbles, as her vision began to blur.Dark spots were beginning to dance around h

“It’s your reward, I’m pregnant.”Ivory, could barely hear her own voice. Her heart was thumping, her palms were sweating and her entire body was trembling slightly with anticipation.She was nervous, and she was right to be, because, well, the man standing in front of her, had gone completely silen
Gadreel didn't move for a while, his eyes searching hers, looking for any hint of uncertainty, or deceit, but finding none, he allowed himself to breathe a sigh of relief as he got up and pulled her into a hug, his arms encircling her waist, and his head resting on her shoulder."Thank you, Ivory."
The ride home was quiet, each party, was individually engrossed in their thoughts, safe for the fact that, the had totally different thoughts.Gadreel had a lot to say, and he was not about to hold them back, and Ivory, well, her thoughts were filled with questions, and worry, worries, not for her o
“However, I’d be taking her off your hands now.”Damien was silent for a few seconds. It was clear that he was thinking, deeply, but one glance behind his shoulder and a lingering stare, was all it took for him to get the answer for whatever deep thought he had been pondering.“Fine.” He finally spo
Tracing where her eyes lingered, Damien realized what it was and gave her a small smile.“Go on, but don’t take too long.”Ivory’s face immediately lit up and she nodded, rushing into the shop like a giddy school girl.As she looked around, she could feel the excitement bubbling inside her. She coul
