Max’s POVFlashback cont’dI didn’t respond. What could I say? That my replacement and Ivy’s husband was hot? I didn’t care; I would smother him in his sleep if I could get away with no consequences.She got closer and tugged at his shorts, the last piece of clothing he had on. “Oh, and he’s packing too!” She hummed in satisfaction and bit her lower lip. “I see what Ivy likes about him now, really.”I frowned. “What are you doing, Taylor?” I was still confused about what she planned to do. Nothing made sense; nothing had made any sense since she called me earlier.She didn’t answer right away. Instead, she pulled a phone from her pocket. My phone and tossed it to me. “Take pictures.”I stared at her in confusion at first, wondering how she had gotten a hold of my phone in the first place. My brows furrowed in confusion. “What?”“You heard me, Max. You’re going to take pictures—"“Why?” I interjected. “Are we going to blackmail Asher with nudes of him? Really, what’s that going to get

Asher’s POV“Hello, Kat,” I greeted as soon as she slid into the booth.She flashed me a wide smile. “It’s no longer Ivy? Damn, I missed when you called me that.”I shut my eyes and let out a frustrated grunt. “Am I ever going to hear the end of it?” I asked.She looked like she was thinking about it for a moment, then shook her head. “No, no, I’m not,” she said with a big grin.“I guess it is my fault...” I said with a sigh.She chuckled.I signaled the waiter, who rushed to our table immediately. “Take the lady’s order.”The waiter tipped his head at her. “What would you have, miss?”“A rosé, please,” she answered. When he was out of earshot, she turned to me. “Is it okay for you to be here... with me?”“There’s no one around, and the staff here have a confidentiality agreement not to leak pictures or information about my whereabouts,” I explained. “I figured it was best to meet here. The club is—” I shrugged. I was sick of it ever since that night. “I couldn’t meet you at my office

Asher’s POV“Hello, Mr. Sterling, you have a guest on her way to your office. I tried to stop her but...” I was holding the telephone to my ear, and when I looked up, I saw Janine at the entrance.I sighed. “Don’t worry, Stacy. The erratic guest barging through protocols is my baby sister, Janine,” I said it out loud so she could hear.She was fuming when she marched in, noiselessly pulled out a chair, and sat on it.“Oh, my God! Mr. Sterling, I’m so sorry—”“There’s nothing to be sorry for, Stacy. You were doing your job. Thank you very much,” I said, ending the call.“Jay, what’s the problem?” I asked.She was visibly fuming. Her arms were folded across her chest, and her mouth was set in a pout. She didn’t respond.I sighed. Of course, that was how it always was with her. She always needed to be petted and liked attention. I got to my feet, went to her, crouched low in front of her, and smoothed her hair away from her face. “What is it, baby sister? Who hurt you? If it’s a guy, I’m

Ivy’s POV.I let out a huge sigh as I walked through the doors. Every day at work was exhausting. It was hard to believe that once; I used to love working. It was all because of Taylor; she had this energy that sucked the life out of a place - or a person. I had turned a blind eye to it until we broke apart.I was so deep in thought that I didn’t notice someone was in the dining area until I heard voices. I retraced my steps and peered in, my brows furrowing as I stared at them.It took them a while to notice me. They were so engrossed in their conversation that I was visibly fuming, arms folded across my chest, until Asher spared me a glance.Another time, I would have loved how his eyes lit up when he saw me, but not today. Not today, when he was at dinner chatting with the blonde girl. Kat. That was her name. The same girl whose pictures had been plastered all over his snap.“I didn’t see you come in, love…”I bit the inner corner of my mouth, trying not to focus on the fact that h

Ivy's povAsher rose to his feet, a wide smile on his face. “Shall we?” he asked, grabbing a bottle of wine and popping it open.Kat cheered, batting her eyelashes at him like he’d done something extraordinary - other than just opening a wine bottle. At this point, she was outright fawning over him.I couldn’t keep the disdain from my face when he poured her a glass first. I gulped down my own wine every single time he handed her an item from the table first. The rational part of me understood it was because she was closer to him, but the fiercer part - the part that was insanely jealous wanted to lunge at her.The silence that stretched between us was awkward. I guessed they were holding back because I was at the table. You’d think that would have been my cue to leave - there was no need to make everyone uncomfortable - but I didn’t.Asher refilled my glass as soon as I set it down on the table.“You two were old friends, I see.” If no one else was going to invite conversation, then

Asher’s POV“I don’t think it worked. If anything, I think I annoyed her—” I was pacing around in my bedroom, unable to forget the sadness and pain in those beautiful blue eyes when she saw us together. It hurt to pretend, even though all I wanted to do was pull her into a warm hug. “I think we messed it up, Kat. I don’t think it worked...”“I told you it was a dumb idea in the first place,” she said with a sigh. “I shouldn’t have agreed to it.”I clutched the phone tightly to my ear. “She looked hurt. I think we might have laid it on too thick. I don’t think our relationship can ever recover from this...” I raked my fingers through my hair, which was already sticking out at odd angles.“Her walking in on us wasn’t the plan in the first place. We were supposed to get pictures of us in your house, post them like we did before, and leave. She wasn’t—”“Yes, of course, I know. She wasn’t supposed to be home until later....” It was all because of Taylor. I let out a defeated sigh. “What d

Ivy’s POVMy eyelids fluttered open as I woke up with my head pounding like a drum, the sunlight streaming through the curtains far too bright for my comfort. My throat was dry, and my body felt heavy as I shifted under the covers. A groan escaped me as small pieces of memories from the night before began to seep into my consciousness.Oh no. Oh no, no, no.I sat up quickly, too quickly, clutching my head as the room tilted for a moment. Flashes of me... dancing. No, not just dancing. Stripping. For him. My husband.I buried my face in my hands, heat flooding my cheeks. Why didn’t he stop me? I could remember his teasing grin as he sat on the sofa. He enjoyed every bit of it. I saw it in his eyes, that unbridled look of desire that urged me on until I was giggling and bold enough to pull off something I’d never dared before. And, God, I did it.My cheeks heated as the memory of him pumping his dick in front of me came to mind. I had watched, intrigued by him and the show he was puttin

Ivy’s POVAsher groaned. “Remind me again, Janine. What are you doing in here?” He stood with his hands on his hips.I grinned in amusement, watching the exchange between Asher and Janine. She was wearing the hottest silver dress, paired with matching shoes that made her legs look endless. Her hair and makeup were perfectly done, making her look like a supermodel.She lightly shoved him aside. “Move away, ogre. I’m here to see my sister.”Asher raised an eyebrow. “Oh, you two are close like that?”I chuckled at his expression.“Yes, we are. Are you jealous?” she asked, scooting closer to me on the bed. “Ivy, you need to get out of bed. We need to go out. Now.”“What?” His eyes flew open. “No way! My wife and I were having such a cute moment together.”It was true. The day after my wild strip show for Asher, I had to endure his teasing all day, but the days that followed drew us closer. It was like the energy between us shifted, and we suddenly fell into step with it. We ate breakfast

Taylor.I was sitting on the large couch in my bedroom, staring off into the distance. It was supposed to be my time of solitude, a time to sit with my thoughts, and it would have been if Max hadn’t been hunched over and pacing from one corner to the other.His frame was rigid, clenching his fists at his sides, thumping his foot against the floor. It was clear he wanted my attention.He hadn’t said anything yet, but that’s what he wanted, and I couldn’t be bothered. I was plagued by my own thoughts.I stretched out my legs and laid down, blocking out Max completely. I brought my fingers to my mouth and began to bite down on my nails.I had played my cards quite early, much earlier than I had planned to. Ivy had forced my hand when we got into that big fight, and she said all those horrible things to me.I didn’t see it coming; I didn’t expect her to react in that manner. I was so mad, I couldn’t think clearly. The moment I got off the phone with Max, I sent the pictures to her with a

MaxThe smell of fresh coffee hit me as I pushed open the door to the little café.Ivy was perched on a stool by the window, her shoulders hunched, eyes focused on her phone, scrolling, engrossed in whatever it was she was staring at.She didn’t see me walk in - at least, not at first. Well, she wasn’t supposed to. I had actually stalked her and followed her here.I crossed the room; there were only a few people in the café. The café was located on the top floor of a high-rise building, exclusive to top celebrities.I slipped into the chair across from her. She finally looked up, her gaze turning sharp, annoyed.“Ivy,” I said her name like it was the sweetest thing ever. “Didn’t think I’d see you here.”She sighed, setting her phone down deliberately. She rolled her eyes. “Yeah, right?” Her tone was flat, detached. “What a surprise!” she exclaimed sarcastically, picking up a book on the table and flipping the pages open.I knew where she was going with this, but I wouldn’t give her th

Asher’s POVJanine’s face looked like she had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. She was in a crouching position, her hands unbuttoning the pants on...He turned to look at me with apologetic eyes. “Luca!”“Asher, I’m sorry...” he began.“Janine, will you get on your feet and fix your clothes!” I yelled in anger. I was filled with utter disgust, seeing my sister in that position and, of all people, with my own friend Luca.She sighed and proceeded to fix Luca’s pants.I raked my fingers through my hair. “His hands are working, Janine! I think he can fix his pants by himself.” I turned to look at Luca, my eyes narrowing at him. “Or can you not?” I barked. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my fists were clenched by my sides.Janine opened her mouth to protest, but he hushed her. “It’s okay, baby. Let it go...”Baby? I saw red in that instant, the muscles in my jaw tightening. Now, I was raving mad. “What the heck is going on here?” I barked.Janine’s eyes widened, her fac
Billionaire's Bounty: Cost Of Love And Revenge Disappointed
Asher’s POVI hated the way her face fell in disappointment when she saw me. I hated the frown on her face that caused her forehead to crease.I wanted to scoop her up in my arms and kiss the frown away.“Flower, I—”“My name is Ivy,” she cut in, her voice stern. “And I’m asking, what is this about?”I sighed, closing the distance between us. “If I hadn’t told the lie that Janine was calling for you, would you have come?”“You very well know I wouldn’t!” she spat in disgust and made to storm off, but I grabbed her hand and pulled her back to me. “Don’t walk away from me,” I said through clenched teeth.Shock flashed across her face; she hadn’t expected me to react this way. But it was done—I was done playing the cool guy.She tried to wriggle free from my grasp, but I held firm. “Let go of me or—”“Or what?” I cut in.“What?” Her voice was barely above a whisper.I pulled her closer, pressing her against me. “If I don’t let go of you, what will happen?” I challenged her. “Seriously, t

Asher’s POVI kept my hand wrapped around the glass, red wine bubbling inside. My fingers were cold against the slick surface.My eyes darted across the room; there was a sea of guests chatting loudly, but my gaze found just one person. Another drink slid down my throat, sharp and burning.I had lost count of how many drinks I had; it should have helped dull my senses, but it didn’t. It didn’t dull the irritation simmering inside me.Derrick.The dumbass photographer. The smug, audacious prick. Oh, the nerve of him! It was already bad enough that he was hanging around Ivy throughout her trip. It was maddening that he touched her, even in the slightest.Just thinking about it made me seethe. But he also had the audacity to follow her here and attend my event! Who gave him an invitation in the first place? Ivy? I loved her so much, but damn, she was making my blood boil.I gritted my teeth, my fists clenching tightly as I downed the contents of my glass. Grabbing a fresh glass of wine f
Billionaire's Bounty: Cost Of Love And Revenge Gaze
Asher's POVThe moment Ivy's hand shot up in a wave, my stomach twisted. I followed her gaze, and there he was - Dexter. The man who had appeared in her stories countless times, the one draped all over her during that damn vacation.My jaw tightened, fists clenching as she raised her glass to me with a smug smile and sashayed away. It took every ounce of restraint not to lose it right there.She’d brought him here, fully aware of what it would do to me. I wasn’t sure what angered me more - her audacity or his willingness to show up.The sea of cameras and curious onlookers forced me to keep my composure. This wasn’t just about me; if a scandal broke, Ivy would suffer too. Despite everything, I didn’t want that for her.Yet, the thought of her entertaining another man set my blood boiling. I hated how powerless I felt— torn between fury and guilt.I knew what I’d done to her. I had no right to demand loyalty when I hadn’t proven my innocence. But those damning pictures with Taylor were

Ivy’s POVThe limo rolled to a stop, the glow of the red carpet lights pouring through the tinted windows. I kept my gaze forward, my jaw clenched tight.This wasn’t the place for tears or anger - at least not the kind anyone could see.“Ivy, are you okay?” he asked, his voice soft enough to almost make me forget why I hated him right now. Almost.“You know why I’m here,” I replied curtly, my tone sharp and biting.He looked down, his face shadowed with shame. “Ivy, I’d do anything to make you forgive me.”I whipped my head toward him, glaring. “You should have thought about that before you took her to bed.”He exhaled heavily, rubbing his temples as if trying to erase his mistakes. “I have no memory of that night. Ivy, I’d never do anything to hurt you.”Silence fell between us, broken only by the frenzy of voices outside and the flashing lights from the cameras. Security had formed a barricade around the car. My heart ached, but my anger was louder.“And yet you did,” I muttered, my

Asher’s POVI stepped into the family mansion. The air inside was warm, with the scent of freshly prepared food wafting from the dining room.There, sprawled at the table like she owned the world, was Janine - her legs propped up on the polished surface, as if she had no idea what decorum meant.Servants bustled around her, setting plates and dishes on the wide table, their expressions carefully neutral.“If it isn’t my evil little sister,” I stated, arching a brow at her casual insolence.She turned to me with a giggle, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Hello, my favorite big brother!” she chirped in a sweet tone of voice.I rolled my eyes all the way to the back of my head.Before I could reply, Marcus strolled in, a bottle of wine dangling from his hand. “I heard that, Janine,” he said in his usual unbothered manner.Janine rolled her eyes dramatically. “It’s no secret that Asher is my favorite. You never really had my time, Marcus,” she retorted with a teasing grin.Marcus slid i

Ivy’s POVThe wineglass hovered near my lips as I froze. Slowly, I turned to face him, my smirk faltering as my gaze locked onto the storm brewing in his eyes.“Can we talk?” His tone was calm, but the tension in his jaw betrayed him.I arched an eyebrow, letting a flicker of defiance cross my face. “What do you want?” I kept my voice even, but my heart clenched in frustration at his audacity.Marsha glanced between us, visibly uncomfortable. “I’ll… give you two a moment,” she murmured before turning to leave. Miles followed her out.But then Asher stepped closer. Too close. His presence loomed over me, the space between us shrinking until I could feel the weight of his gaze. I swallowed. “I don’t know where to start from, Ivy,” he said, his voice low and firm. “I’m really sorry, about...”I tilted my head, taking a deliberate sip of my wine, savoring the burn as it slid down my throat. Setting the glass down on the counter, I met his gaze head-on. “What part are you actually sorry fo
