"I can't even begin to explain the bullshit," I sighed while taking a sip of water, "Tanya, I think Dimitri likes me."

She froze mid-bite, "It would make sense from what you've been saying. It might just be an infatuation. Something new from Callista and Eve. You'd be the third in line."

Third in line. Repeated in my head over and over again, "I'm not third for anyone."

Tanya put her fork down and gently caressed my hand, "No, you're not."

The kindness in her tone and the gentle expression on her face brought warmth to my heart.

"How are my two most gorgeous women?" Eric beamed as he approached our table.

"Your women?" I repeated.

"Yes," he nodded while kissing both of us on the cheek.

"How are things with Callista?" I asked.

"Good," he confirmed, "She's going on another business trip soon and wanted me to go with her."

"We should be able to buy a bar soon with the money I have saved," I added.

"Can we stop talking business and talk about this weekend?" Tanya

    "Happy Birthday!" Dimitri and Callista nudged a large black velvet case towards me. I nervously opened it only to have my heart sink in my chest. My jaw dropped as I heard Tanya gasp behind me."Panthère de Cartier Necklace," Callista smiled while walking over to me, "It's white gold, emerald eyes, onyx spots, and brilliant-cut diamonds. A total of 19.05 carats. The bracelet is just as luxurious" My eyes widened even more in shock. This must have been worth a fortune. "I can't accept this," I gasped. "Of course, you can," Dimitri smirked. Callista put the bracelet on my wrist, the chill from the cold diamonds sent chills up my arm. I held up my hair as the cold heavy necklace fastened around my neck. Dimitri presented a mirror to show me how it looked. I couldn't hide my huge smile. "I love it," I choked. "The white gold and emerald green complement your pale skin and gorgeous long red hair," Callista smiled before giving me a motherly hug. I looked over her sho

    The anger was consuming. it made me want to rip her apart. Why did I care? I didn't care Dimitri in that way. It's not like he's Eric. "Not now," Callista rebelled but I held her down. "Why not?" I pushed, "We've all fucked before and it's my birthday." "Not Roy," she clarified. "And?" I dominantly held her down as she fought against me, "You've never cared before. Why do you care if he sees?" "What do we have here?" Eric interjected. I glanced over to see all three of them coming in from the garage. "When you didn't come back in I wanted to make sure you were okay," Eric stated, "But it seems you're just fine." "More than that," I smirked. Tanya's look of lust was in cohesion with both Eric'c and Roy's. Roy pulled a wide glass black case from his pocket as the trio approached us. Dimitri made his way behind me, gently nudging me from Callista. Whether I liked it or not she should at least be able to cover herself up. Roy placed the long case on the countertop an

    After planting the seed of doubt in Dimitri's mind, everything played out as planned. He hadn't realized it was Roy with Callista. The anger in his eyes, as he placed me on the couch next to Tanya and Eric, before yanking the pair apart. It was taboo. He wasn't allowed to see Eve or his son, and she couldn't have any physical contact with Roy. It worked. Tanya, Eric, and I left during the argument. I couldn't help but have a victorious smirk which Tanya kept trying to hide while we drove off in my new Rolls Royce. This was one hell of a birthday. It worked out just as I planned. If I'm being honest I became anxious awaiting them to call me. When neither did after two weeks I showed up unannounced to see what destruction had unfolded. "Fuck you!" Callista hollered as I heard shattering glass. I opened without invitation to reveal Callista playing target practice at Dimitri. "You fucking bastard!" she hollered. "Since we lost our baby we haven't cared for one another!" Dimit

    "I'll be selling the home and be moving in with Eve and her father by the weekend," Dimitri confirmed, "I apologize for not calling. I've been sleeping with one eye open since your birthday." "Sorry," I lied with a devious smile. "Are you? Why did you do that?" he demanded, "Don't lie to me." "You deserve to be happy like anyone else," I embellished. He did though, "When Zeus and I fucked I saw the love in your eyes for her. You tried to care. Act like you didn't want her. I knew better." He looked puzzled, almost confused. That's right. This twenty-five-year-old played you like a fiddle and you had no idea. That evil voice crept into my mind once more. "Let me fuck you one last time," he pleaded. Dimitri pleading? This was way too easy. He seized me within his grasp without hesitation. I knew what he wanted. What he wanted was me. He needed to forget about everything and lose himself inside of me. I knew this kiss. This was the first kiss we shared when I lost my virgi

  • Ivy   Panic

    No. No. No. What the hell? There's no way I could be pregnant. I sped to the store flying through several stop signs without hesitation. My nerves are working on overdrive. The panic I can feel rising with each passing second made everything worse. I gripped my steering wheel tighter while trying to take even steady breaths. I don't know anything for certain yet. Now I'm almost home and we can figure out this ridiculous accusation Dimitri made. It's possible he's upset and took out his frustration on me with a lie. He doesn't seem like the type to lie though. Why was everything becoming so fucked up! "Stupid bitch!" I slapped the steering wheel angrily. I ran up the stairs as fast as my legs would take me, desperate to pee on this stick. I never thought I'd think that. Waiting is the worst of it all. I fumbled my keys and dropped them repeatedly attempting to unlock my front door. "Fuck!" I cried while pounding my fists into my front door. I pressed my head against the col

  • Ivy   What Just Happened?

    "Blank?! What the fuck is blank?!" I shouted angrily. "Everything okay?" Zeus asked. I covered my mouth. Fuck I forgot he was here. I threw the test back into the sink. If I could smash it to pieces I would. Why did he need to be here right now? It's okay. I can take the other one once he leaves. Sure my nerves will be shot, but I'll know. I gathered myself before exiting the bathroom. "Sorry," I shook my head while holding my phone in my hand, "I've been waiting for a response and I hadn't realized I never sent the message in the first place." He cracked a smile, "Really?" "Yes," I lied, "Now how will I be compensated? I'm not saying yes, but Dimitri and Callista were a lot to handle. I don't need that bullshit in my life." His look turned from kind to dominant. More endearing and devouring than Dimitri's. His age certainly showed. He slowly closed the gap between us. "What did you have in mind?" he asked. I bit my bottom lip while playing with the ends of my long ha

    "I want to meet this, Zeus," Tanya said firmly, placing her drink on the bartop, "Now that Roy no longer has use for me, I have to find some way to spend my free time." Guilt struck me, "I'm sorry." "It's not your fault," she shrugged. Yes, it was. We cheered before downing our shots of whiskey. The sweet burn made the confusion and frustration go away. "Are you crying because you'll miss their money?" Tanya commented. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "Your eyes are swollen, beautiful," she clarified while gently caressing my temple. I wish I could tell you. I can't let myself feel it. I have to numb myself. When I saw that my other pregnancy test was missing I couldn't help but hint that Zeus had it. My other test had the same result. I think the package I bought may have expired. I hadn't bothered to check with how much I was panicking. I'm going to the doctor on Monday. I'll know for certain then. Only then will I let myself handle it. "You know it," I lied.

  • Ivy   Castle

    When exiting the car, Zeus's mansion looked even grander in the sunlight. I hadn't realized it was more of a castle. It was stacked five stories high, and the dark hand-placed stones shined with vintage authenticity. It is breathtaking, from the six-foot-long double windows to the grand double-entry front doors—the dark cherry wood with red with vintage gold knockers. This place must have been worth a fortune. Were we still in New York? Or is this Canada? I fell asleep both times on the journey up here from the distance. Both doors opened before I went to the front, and Zeus appeared behind them. Was he waiting for me at the door like a puppy? The excitement in his eyes when he saw me was almost cute. Still, his eyes weren't smiling like his lips were. It's as if it was all practiced over and over again. How many times have you faked that smile? How many women have fallen for it? How naive did you think I was? I knew you saw the pregnancy test, but I didn't know how to approach the

  • Ivy   Taking Over

    How could such a man be so naive? I never gave him an answer. Instead, I left the room and went back to my own. I knew it bothered him, me not answering. From the looks of it the following morning, it drove him crazy. Zeus made me a luxurious breakfast, eagerly awaiting an answer, which I still refuse to give. "Why not, Ivy?" Zeus pressed. I bit into the juicy strawberry. The hint of sweetness followed by the rush of jaw-clenching sour made everything much more enjoyable. "I like you son more than I like you," I admitted, "And Dimitri." "What if I told you they aren't who you thought they were," Zeus reasoned. Narrow-eyed, I annoyedly glared at him, "What do you mean?" "What if I told you they knew I was alive all along, and we made a bet," Zeus added. "What type of bet?" I pressed. "Now that takes the fun out of the bet," he taunted. "Fuck you," I scoffed while hastily rushing back to my room. Zeus always knew how to lift me and get under my skin. "Asshole,"

    Everything was such a blur. I don't remember what happened. Zeus was pinning me down, then nothing. I blinked; it was dark, and only the roaring fire lit up the dark far corners of the room. This was Zeus's room. My throat was dry. I could barely breathe. I tried rolling over when something caught on my wrist. "What the fuck?" I yanked again, this time hearing metal clanking. Both my wrists and ankles were shackled to the four-poster bed frame. "You're awake," Zeus commented. Looking at him furiously, I could prop myself on my elbows and say, "Let me go, now!" "No," he denied. "Now-" "No one is here, so there's no point to scream," he interrupted. "Why the Hell did you shackle me to your bed frame!" I shouted, "I would have fucked you if that's what you wanted, but instead, you knock me out. I began coughing uncontrollably, and Zeus rushed to my aid, raising the water glass to my mouth to quench my thirst. "You knew you would be punished," he reminded. "How do y

  • Ivy   Playing With Fire

    "Do you like frustrating me? Making me angry? Toying with my emotions?" Zeus growled upon approaching me. "Yes," I teased, "You look like a hurt little puppy." "What about these past five years? Does that not matter? Have the nights we spent together meant nothing?" Zeus questioned. "I do love that the boys have father figures in their lives, but I already spoke to them about it, and they want to move back as well," I sighed, "As for the nights, a woman needs sex too." "Their children!" Zeus's anger grew, his eyes turning dark. "If you're doing this to get back at me, I'm sorry. I've been apologizing to you for the past five years. Can you not see that?" While sauntering over to Zeus, my eyes locked onto his. The fury beckoning behind them made me want to do conniving things. I took his glass of whiskey and downed its contents. "I do see it, and I don't care if it hurts you," I lied. Zeus gripped my wrist; this time, it was painful, not in a fun way. "Ah!" I winced.

  • Ivy   Stand Still

    My bar was engulfed in roaring flames. Tears streamed down my cheek as Veronica tried to deviate when the fire department arrived and finally extinguished the fire. I stood there, listening to people speak about property insurance and the time it would take to rebuild everything that had burned. "Ivy!" Zeus hollered, running up to me. "What are you doing here?!" I panicked, "Aodhan-" "Ariel called your phone, and she told me what happened. She's watching him," he reassured. His eyes widened in shock, and he looked at the catastrophe the fire left behind in its wake. Zeus was about to speak when he pulled aside the man trying to talk to me about the building. My blank expression spoke volumes. Hours passed in a blur, and Zeus returned home with me. "So it seems, perhaps three years, the bar can be rebuilt. They have to tear everything down and start from scratch," Zeus explained. "So, I lost everything?" I whispered. "No, Ivy," Zeus looked at me, trying his

    "What?!" Zeus snapped. "You heard me. If I let you be a part of my boys' lives, then there would be no need for a DNA test, right?" I repeated. The rage building behind his eyes gave me the satisfaction I needed in this situation. "Why is it such a big deal about knowing who their father is?" he diverted. "Why do you care if I allow you to be in their lives without issue?" I debated. "She's not wrong," Ariel giggled while pecking me on the cheek. "Hey, now, she's not all yours, you know," Zeus reminded, I began to kiss Ariel passionately. "All right, fine, I concede," Zeus surrendered. Ariel and I began to laugh hysterically like candy from a baby. "I suppose me offering you to stay in Ireland with me is out of the question?" he asked. "Not necessarily; we could always use it to escape the city," I smirked, "Keep it." Ariel scurried off to work, and success reared its corner when I could see the jealousy in Zeus's eyes. "It doesn't bother you that I fuck Di

  • Ivy   Drunk Fun

    I could not sit at the dinner table and keep my thoughts to myself. I hadn't drunk since giving birth, but today, I was having a liquid dinner, whiskey. "You sure you don't want any lasagna?" Zeus offered. "It's delicious, Mom," Aodhan agreed while placing his dish near the sink. However, he was still too short to reach past the countertop. "Yes, baby, why don't you go with Ariel and get ready for bed?" I ordered. "but mom-" "No, but baby," I groaned. "Come on, I know a great movie we can watch before bed tonight," Ariel beamed while tickling Aodhan to the bathroom. "Come on, Ivy," Zeus grumbled while filling the dishwasher, "Do you need to be so dismissive? He was having a good time, and you shut him down." "Who the Hell do you think you are?!" I spat while grabbing the crystal pitcher full of whiskey. I stumbled up the stairs to a separate bedroom that wasn't my own. I knew what would happen tonight; I knew what Zeus wanted. I might enjoy it myself. I giggle whil

  • Ivy   Fucked Up Situation

    Knowing what Zeus could do made trusting any doctor with my blood work nearly impossible. He could manipulate anything to his will, which was infuriating. Rowan didn't look like him; I don't know what he looked like when he was younger. Reign and Dimitri were doing everything they could to help me cope with the current situation, but all it did was make me sick. It made me wish I could shoot Zeus again. "Ivy? Ivy?!" Ariel's voice broke my concentration. I blinked back to reality, her soft hand tenderly caressing mine. "Are you alright?" "I don't know," I confessed, nibbling on my lower lip. "I don't trust Zeus, but I don't know if he's not Aodhan's father. I don't want to know." "How come?" she questioned. I glared at her, not rudely, but as if to wonder why she would ask such a stupid question. How come I didn't care to know? Was it such a big deal to know who the father of my children was? Part of me thinks they're mine; it's no one else's concern. I'm the one who carried

  • Ivy   Who's the Daddy?

    Only a few doctors in Ireland could get me a DNA test. Zeus did this on purpose, and he knew it. There was no way he couldn't find out who Aodhan's father was, and he had to change his money within the blink of an eye to ensure he was his father. "You knew what you were doing. Admit it, Zeus. You've always been a conniving, selfish man," Dimitri commented. Ivy wants to go back home and have a doctor of her choosing. Not to ensure that there were very few near here, so few that you could manipulate it into ending the way you want." "Which is what, exactly?" Zeus sighed, "Is this because I punished you? Are you still not over that?" "You're lucky I didn't kill you," Dimitri growled. "Did you like what I did to you? Is that it? Do you care about me-" Dimitri swung, his fist landing its target, Zeus's chin. Zeus staggered, a small trickle of crimson blood seeping from the corner of his lips. The sadistic smile that came across his face said it all. The blood coming across

    "There's no way Rowan is your son," I stated, "I'm going to do this DNA test with a doctor I choose. One you have never met and will never meet. Doctor Rick can go fuck himself if he thinks I'll believe anything he says to me." I threw the DNA papers on the floor. Their results had to be faked. There's no way he's Aodhan's father. Then again, how would I know? If he is Aodhan's father, there's no way I'd let him know. The type of man he is scares me. "What makes you think I've ever agreed to something like that?" Zeus scoffed. I dropped my head, taking a step closer to Zeus, making sure that he knew I was serious, "If you mess with me or my son, if you even think it, I'll shoot you again." Zeus cleared his throat before walking to the window, "How am I supposed to believe that?" "You don't have a choice," I glared. "What makes you-" "Try me, Zeus!" I hollered. My voice echoing the walls of his new mansion. From all the information I gathered, Doctor Rick and his team
