“No matter what you do, that door won’t open without my say so. So, that means,” Lucien smiled subtly, but all the gesture did, was make cold shivers run down Ivory’s spine. “You’re here with me until I say otherwise.”“Lucien,” She started, keeping her voice as level and stable as possible. “Stop t
Lucien’s brows furrowed at those words, and he remained quiet for a little while. It was as if he was pondering over something. Then, with a sigh, he asked.“Mistakes happen every now and then. I apologize for that inconvenience, my love.”“Don’t call me that!” She snapped sharply.Lucien only offer
Gadreel would be lying if he said that, as he watched the video of a nearby CCTV camera that displayed the outside of his house, showing as Evangeline reached into her bag and pulled out what looked to be the ledger of his company and handed it to a man inside a black car, his heart didn’t break.He
And boy, was she getting more and more frustrated with each passing minute.No way out, no phone to reach anyone and worse of all, no neighbors to call out for help, she was stuck.The frustration she had been feeling, was gradually turning into anger and it so happened to be that Lucien walked back
The moment those words had left Lucien’s mouth, and before he could react, Ivory had marched straight up to him, closing the distance that had previously existed between them, and in seconds, her palm connected with his cheek, a slap that echoed throughout the entire house.His head had snapped to t

“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."

“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
