Ivan walked back to the house with a gloomy look on his face. And his grandmother sneered at seeing him.“At least you had some sense to know that she is not worth running after,” she said.Ivan assumed her and walked straight in front of June, who had been silent all throughout.June trembled a little. She was not sure why he was looking at her like that. She looked at the old lady for help.“Don't you do anything stupid, Ivan,” she warned. Who knew what this man was thinking?Ivan ignored her warning. “Let me make things clear to you June now,” he said, his voice turning calm all of a sudden.June took a deep breath. And she became sure that nothing good waited for her.“I am not interested in you anyway. And even if it wasn't Natalie, I would never have thought of you. Be careful with what you do…” he said.The old lady gasped in shock, while June began crying immediately. She knelt before him. “Ivan… I love you…”Ivan sneered at her. “Even if you love me, I love someone else. Don'

She looked at him like he was not the man she knew. “Mmh?“ Ivan looked back at her, his expression calm. “Natalie, I don't joke around with the things I do. From the first day I touched you, you became mine!“Natalie was still confused, but the man assumed her and held her hand. He pulled her to a certain room and closed the door behind him.“This will be our room from now,” he said. “Treat it as your own!“Natalie was so shocked. “Ivan… Aren't you afraid of your grandmother? You should not anger her a lot. It is not good for both of you.“That woman had clearly said that she would not allow her into Dione's family. Why wouldn't the man understand that?Ivan sighed. “I will handle that,” he said. You don't have to worry about it for now. “Quick, go and wash up. I will go in later.“He knew that she was afraid of his grandmother. And he blamed all that on himself. He should have made sure that no one said anything
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT CONTINUES IN THIS CHAPTER“Ahh!“ Natalie cried out and held onto his legs. With every movement, she felt like she was flying high into the clouds.“Hold on tightly sweetie,” Ivan said as he bit on his teeth. Heaven's knew how sweet this girl was.Natalie soon trembled and her eyes rolled back. “Aah… stop! I… I am coming,” she shouted. But Ivan wanted to please her. He did not stop until she collapsed on top of him and took in deep breaths, shaking hard.Ivan hugged her tightly and kissed her lips. “Why are you so sweet, darling?“ He asked. He pressed her onto his chest and began moving again. And Natalie felt like she was going to die. “Ivan…” she called and began another round of moans.“I want you forever baby,” he said, and continued eating her. Of course, he wished that she had been his child right now. He wanted to have a wonderful family with her.“Hhng,” Ivan groaned as ecstasy built up inside him. He slightly trembled and held the girl on top of him ti
Natalie slept peacefully in Ivan's comforting embrace. She had never thought that she would one day feel that good being cuddled by a man the whole night.She felt relaxed and good. All the doubts she had about the man had all vanished. She had a happy and satisfied look on her face.As morning arrived, they both prepared themselves for the day ahead and accompanied Carter to school. Ivan dropped Natalie off at her workplace before continuing on his own path. They did not speak about the things that had happened between them at night. They chose to enjoy themselves in silence.Natalie took a deep breath as she headed to the office. This was her first day to report to the company since she was fired. The other day, she had not met many people.Around ten o'clock, Ivan reached his company. He had gone to meet a client on the way. His face was full of life as he thought of his wonderful night with Natalie.He felt like there was a great improvement in their relationship, and he was so h
When Natalie got into the company, she was surprised to find so many changes. Everything seemed to be going according to her wishes.Ivan had organized for her a new manager. And surprisingly, she was a good person who, through their interactions today, Natalie felt that she was nice.Her friend Gill hugged her happily. “I am so happy that you have come back! I missed you so much…“Natalie smiled happily. This was the only friend she had in this place. She was the only person she could happily talk to. “I missed you too, Gill,” she said.“You won't believe it when I tell you that Miss Branice left the company. I hear that she was fired,” Gill began speaking immediately. Natalie sat beside her.Since she had just gone back, she still did not have a role. So, she watched as the others were shooting.“Fired?“ Natalie looked at Gill in confusion. Ivan's image appeared in her head. And she was ninety-eight percent sure that it was his doing.“Yeah! You don't know how happy I was to hear th
Whom do you think you are to command me?“ She questioned angrily. In the past, she had held some respect for him for being her senior.But after finding out that Luca's dad was after her family, and that he was the person who had killed her mom, her hatred for them had flooded her.Luca sighed. “I did not command you,” he said in a lowered voice. “ I want to show you something…”Even though Natalie was angry, she decided to know what he was after. She hesitated, but eventually stood up. She was still at work and she needed to respect her elders.But she was so shocked when the man held her hand and pulled her towards him. She could not imagine that he had used such a trick to get her!“What are you doing, Luca? Leave me alone,” she tried, struggling from his hold. But the man did not let her go. “People are watching us, Natalie. I hope you are not creating a scene on purpose!“ It was then that Natalie realized that there were people around, and they were looking at them. Some were e
Natalie was so shocked. But she felt so disgusted and pushed him away with all her might. Luca staggered backwards before he found his balance.He stared at Natalie as she wiped her lips in annoyance. And he was just so shocked. Why did she taste so good? He swore he wanted to kiss her again!He wanted to hit his head on the wall when he found his thoughts. But still, he knew that his heart was speaking the truth.He had acted on impulse when she wiped off where he had touched her. He had just wanted to show her that he was the person in control. He did not expect that she would have that effect on him.“You are such an idiot Luca,” Natalie said. “I will not let you go away with this!“ Why did he kiss her? Was he out of his senses?She wanted to walk past him again, but the man hurriedly blocked her way. “You are not leaving here until we have talked,” he said in a serious tone.Natalie completely lost her patience! “Luca! I am not talking to an idiot like you about anything! Let me g
Sonia wiped away her tears when she heard that. “Just don't allow her to hug you again,” she said. She wanted the man to be hers alone.Luca wanted to say something, but he changed his mind and nodded his head. “Don't worry, that won't happen again.“Sonia felt relieved. She made a cute face and looked into his eyes. “Can I get a kiss?“ She asked and bit her lips.Luca sighed and gave her a peck on the lips. But his mind shifted to the soft lips he had just kissed a while ago. He even thought that Sonia was not as sweet as Natalie. But he hurriedly brushed off those thoughts.He looked at Sonia and smiled. “Are you good now?“ He asked. The girl nodded and pecked at his cheeks.He rubbed her hair and released her. “I have to go,” he said. “There is something I have to do. Be good.“Sonia nodded her head happily. After all, Luca did not have any feelings for that street girl!But the moment Luca walked out, he wiped away his cheeks where he had been kissed. Something in his mind told hi
Black and Ivan looked at each other before turning to Natalie. Ivan cleared his throat. “Honey, I recently found out that Black wasn't the person that killed my family. It was June and her accomplices!“Five years ago, Black really did have intentions of killing Ivan and the whole of his family. But his first aim was Ivan, and that was the reason why he sent Natalie to kill him. His family, back in the country, were out for a night. Black was prepared to attack, because Ivan was away and he would not be there to protect them. But an hour earlier, he received information that they were already killed.After gathering information, Ivan had recently realized that June was behind everything. Despite being around and pretending to be a naive and innocent girl, she had caused more havoc.She had killed, thinking that the company belonged to Ivan's dad. To her shock, it was Ivan who owned it. So she lost. She was not able to put her hands on the company.Luckily, she was now behind doors. I
The old lady chuckled. “I was so stupid! How could I not differentiate between someone with a good heart like you from those full of bad intentions? Instead of protecting him, I exposed all of us to danger. Please forgive me…”Natalie, who had never had any experience of an elderly person apologizing, did not know what she was supposed to say. She pursed her lips in fear.The old lady sighed. “I am not saying all this because you saved my life. I just think I was too blind in the past not to see the good in you. Please, take good care of my grandson, and my great grandchildren!“Natalie was just so shocked. She had not expected that things would be this easy after so much struggle. That meant that the old lady was blessing her marriage with Ivan, right?She lifted her eyes to look at Ivan, and seeing the broad smile on his face, Natalie relaxed. Everything was fine. They were finally going to be together without any difficulties.Ivan winked at her, and Natalie could not help but roll
The doctor sighed with disappointment. “You don't know it? That thing that healed you!“ He was not sure if the girl was just pretending or she really knew nothing about it.Natalie shook her head. “Wait… I think I was wounded! What happened? What is that Gello you are talking about?“ She asked.The doctor sighed. “When you were brought here, we all thought you were going to die! You had wounds, you had lost a lot of blood and you were almost losing your child. But… that thing they gave you… it healed you in less than ten minutes…”Even though Natalie was pretending not to know anything about Gello, she was shocked to hear that she was healed like that. “Doctor, are you sure about what you are talking about?“ “Yes… it happened… He just wrapped it around your hand…” The doctor had begun speaking when the door was pulled open and two men walked in. Trevor went directly to the doctor and held his hand. “Doctor, would you mind us having a small talk?“ He asked while pulling him out, not
Natalie froze up. She waited for the excruciating pain, then maybe, death. She had been so sure that June had shot her straight in the chest. She would be dead in just a few seconds.However, after a few seconds, nothing happened. She did not get any pain either. Confused, she opened her eyes.“Natalie…” Someone called her. All she could hear and see were the movements of people here and there.But her eyes caught one person who was running towards her direction. “Natalie… are you okay?“ Ivan asked as he pulled her into his arms.Due to the pressure he applied, Natalie winced in pain. Her body was covered in several wounds due to the torture that these people had inflicted on her. She saw June lying on the ground, her gun some distance away from her.“You are hurt! Quickly, call an ambulance!“ Ivan ordered as he tried to untie her. Trevor and a few other men were checking up on the old lady.“Ivan… you came…” Natalie said in shock. She had not expected him to be back that quickly. But
Carter opened his eyes when he heard Natalie's voice. “Mommy…” he called between cries as he struggled. His mommy was finally there to save him.Natalie hurriedly untied him and pulled him into his hands. “You are fine now…”“Mommy…. Save great grandma. She is in the backyard. Auntie June has a gun…” Carter said the moment he remembered what had happened.Natalie shook. “It's okay,” she said and carried Carter to the room where she had locked Melan. “She will protect you,” Natalie whispered to Carter.She handed Carter to Melan. “Melan, don't open the door until I come back. Don't make any noise,” she said while trembling.“Sister… will you be safe?“ Melan asked in fear. Natalie hurriedly nodded and locked the door behind her, leaving.She ran upstairs to Ivan's room and took out her phone. Luckily, Ivan hurriedly picked him up when she called him.“Natalie…” Ivan called. “Did something happen? I am done here. I am taking the plane soon…”“Ivan… hurry up! Grandma is in danger!“ Natal
When Black came back to the room, Natalie wanted to keep her distance from him. If this man could send his wife away without blinking, what was he not capable of?Black sighed seeing her action. “Daughter, I sent her away to make up for what we caused you to go through in the past,” he spoke up. “Please, forgive me…”Still, Natalie could not fully understand if the man had changed or he was just pretending. “Why did you bring me back?“ She asked at last. She wanted to end things as fast as possible. She wanted to go back to Ivan and Carter.Black took a seat beside her. “I heard about your break up with Ivan… that man has wronged you. I am your father. I had to come for you. I will help you carry out revenge if you want to…”Natalie pretended to be really heartbroken. “But… why are you two fighting?“ She asked. She was still mad that the man had pretended that the break up had nothing to do with him.Black was silent for a while. “ We were fighting in the past, not anymore. I won't li
…Natalie's eyes widened when she woke up on an unfamiliar bed, her mind finally connecting the dots. The room she found herself in was lavish and spacious, a real contrast to the small, cramped space she had been forced to inhabit in the past in this house. The memories of the mistreatment she endured flooded her mind, making her feel annoyed and anger about those two people that called themselves parents.She moved, and her body ached. She could not help but wince in pain. She had expected to be taken away by Black, but the fact that they had sedated her before bringing her here spoke volumes about their intentions. It was as if they didn't even want to give her the chance to fight back or escape.Her thoughts were interrupted as the door was pushed open, and a woman around forty years old stepped inside the room. The woman's eyes widened in disbelief as they landed on Natalie, and she let out a horrified scream."Aaaah!" the woman shrieked, her hands flying to her mouth as if to st
Natalie tried to sit up, her concern immediately shifting to the boy who had accidentally knocked her off her feet. "The boy who just knocked me off... Is he okay?" she asked, showing her compassionate nature even in her own moment of distress.Ivan scanned the crowd and locked eyes with the worried boy. He noticed the blood on the boy's hand and pursed his lips. "Someone check up on the boy," he instructed, and the people around quickly rushed to help him.Still feeling disoriented, Natalie held onto Ivan's hand. "Can you help me up?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly."Of course," Ivan replied hurriedly, carefully assisting her to her feet. He guided her away from the gathering crowd and led her towards the car, where they could have some privacy.As they distanced themselves from the scene, Ivan noticed Natalie's expression changing. Her eyes turned red, and sadness enveloped her face. He gently helped her into the car, his heart aching for her."Are you feeling hurt anywhere?
Ivan woke up with Natalie in his hands, a broad smile appearing on his face as he looked at her sleeping face. He brought his hands to her face and gently caressed her, feeling the sense of peace that he had missed for days.Natalie's eyes fluttered when something kept moving on her face. Slowly, she opened her eyes and met a man's warm gaze. She snuggled closer to him, a smile on her face. "Good morning, beast," she greeted him jokingly.Ivan smiled and pinched her nose. "You look so happy today. Did that mean that I satisfied you well last night?" He joked back.Natalie buried her face into his chest to hide away her embarrassment. "Can't you just talk like a normal person?" She asked and pinched his waist playfully.Ivan hurriedly held her hand. "Stop messing around unless you want to awaken the beast again," he said, and kissed her lips lovingly.Natalie smiled, her cheeks flushed. She seemed to have thought of something and sat up. "Um... Black will be taking me today, right?" She
