"Zeus?!" I trembled. "Are you unhappy to see me?" Zeus asked. Why did he have to look so sexy? His loose shirt and baggy trousers. Wait, he looks just like... "Hi, little brother," Zeus greeted. My eyes widened in horror. I slowly turned to look over my shoulder. Deacon. He locked the door behind him with a victorious grin. "Hey, didn't think you'd come so soon," he replied. "W-what? Brother?" I teared up. A disgusting knot hit me in my gut. Now I know why Deacon looked so familiar. He's Zeus's younger brother, "What the fuck?" "I wanted to bring you your car," Zeus added while walking towards me. I backed away as tears began streaming down my face, "No. It's not true." They both looked at me in confusion and began walking towards me. I turned and ran to my room, trying to lock the door behind me, but it was useless. Deacon burst through the door before I had it closed. "No! No! It's not true!" I cried while running towards the sliding door. Before I could reach
After a long debate, I decided to return to New York. Not because I was moving back—I'm still keeping my house in Monterey, and I still had my loft in the city—but because I wanted to visit for a few months. Besides, I did miss Tanya and Eric. Zeus shipped my Rolls Royce to my loft as we took first-class flights back to The Big Apple. When we arrived, I told them to return to their family estate, and they did so with great displeasure. If I had to go through this again, I was sure I would achieve my vengeance on Eve. I might even take her from this world if it came down to it. The bitch deserved it, after all. No matter where I run to, I'll always return here. I sat in my quiet loft, watching the rain fall and listening to it slap against the windows. I missed the sound of the rain, but it was always beautiful in California. "Ivy?" a soft, familiar voice called from behind me. I saw Tanya standing in the doorway, holding a bouquet of red roses. Happy tears formed in her
When we arrived at Zeus's door, he and Deacon greeted us. "Ivy, Tanya, you made it," Zeus smiled. "Yeah," Tanya glanced between Zeus and Deacon before looking back at me, "Of course they're related." I shoved her in the arm, "Bitch, meet them apart and see if you have to same answer." I ignored both Zeus and Deacon as Tanya, and I walked right past them and into the castle. "Still the same," I shrugged. "Ladies," Eric greeted. "There you are," I sneered while walking past him, "Kitchen, make me a drink and explain to me what the fuck you're doing." Eric followed but had a tight jaw while doing so. He looked so cold behind his eyes. He walked behind the bear and poured us each a glass of champagne before looking over at me. It was as if he didn't even want to see me. "What the Hell is the problem?" I asked. He looked angry at my question. "You know I'm going to go to my room, and Ivy is going to go to hers," Tanya said, grabbing me by the arm and pulling me aft
Once Eric had his fill, he left me on the bear skin rug. I lay there listening to the crackle of the fire. He can go to hell, too. "Seems like I'm not the only man crazy about you," I heard Zeus softly state. "I'm fine," I coldly replied, "In case you were wondering." I heard him walk over to me, but he knew better than to approach. I watched the flickering orange flames dance along the fireplace; I moved my hands towards them, feeling the heat intensify. "Stop, Ivy!" Zeus seized my wrist and turned my face to his. He must have seen the dead behind my eyes. Without question, he lifted me from the ground and placed me on the bed. Feeling Eric's cum leak from me made me cringe. "Get it out of me," I whispered. "What?" Zeus asked. I spread my legs, and Zeus looked down. He understood. He left through my doors, and I looked at the fire. Watch them burn. I knew of Zeus's return as he spread my legs apart and pressed a warm washcloth. I winced in pain. "He must
"I also want four pairs of these Christian Louboutins and four assorted purses and handbags from Louis Vuitton. I want these perfumes from Chanel, and next time, bring me clothes more to my taste. Not pastel or blue; I hate the color blue," I scoffed. "Ma'am, blue is Zeus's favorite-" "I'm well aware of what he does and doesn't like," I interrupted, " I am marrying him after all." "Right away," the maid bowed her head and exited my room immediately. I have become increasingly cold over the past few weeks, but I couldn't care less. It was working to my advantage. Zeus also kept his promise: He hadn't let anyone besides Tanya come to visit, though it had been much longer than a week. "It seems that you're making all the staff hate you," a familiar, obnoxious male voice said behind me. "What are you doing here, Deacon?" I grumbled. Deacon looked completely different from the man I met. He was no longer a glasses-wearing, slicked-haired professor. His hair fell like Zeus's,
Zeus left without touching me. He seemed as if he wanted to devour me with his lust-filled gaze but left moments later. Later that night, I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time, horny. Tanya returned home, so having fun with her was out of the question. I didn't want Deacon or Eric. Zeus seemed to run every chance he got. All that was left was Dimitri. I was in the kitchen every day, hoping he would appear, but he hadn't. I had seen Eve a few times, and the urge to kill her grew stronger and stronger the closer I was to her. Today, I decided to explore the castle more. It was only fitting that I learned the house I'd be living in. Reign's room and a few studies are located on the third floor. The fourth is where Eve and Reign's room was, and the fifth is where Tanya's and Eric'ss rooms were. The seventh floor was Zeu's, which he never allowed anyone to enter; the sixth floor had two massive suites with no one in them. There were several other rooms on all the different flo
"Zeus," Dimitri cleared his throat, "Didn't expect you to show up so suddenly." "I went to Ivy's room, but she wasn't there. I was curious to find out when I found this instead," Zeus thunderously replied. Remember last time? Was that not punishment enough?!" Zeus shoved Dimitri back and seized my wrist, pulling me into him. "I'm moving into this room!" I hissed, "I'm not staying in the one on the second floor anymore!" "Why not? You have the entire second floor all to yourself!" Zeus exclaimed. "It reminds me of what a bitch your granddaughter did to me!" I shouted. Zeus's threatening expression softened as he released his hold on me, "Dimitri, leave." Dimitri looked as though he wanted to defy him, but one look from me made him realize that it was the best choice. With a slight nod to me, Dimitri left my new room. "You expect-" "I expect you to do as I ask!" I sneered, "Otherwise, I'll marry the brother that will!" Zeus froze in his tracks. His demeanor changed
Several more days later, she passed without seeing any of the men. It was as if they had all disappeared or deliberately avoided me, making my plan increasingly unachievable. Thankfully, Tanya was heading up today and staying for the weekend. I've been anxiously awaiting her arrival. Unfortunately, the ride can be unpredictable in winter. "What brings you out here at this time? It's about to snow," Reign commented. "Ahh!" I yelped, spilling the Sauvignon Blanc all over my thin red slip dress. "Sorry!" he said, removing a long black coat and wrapping it around me, "I didn't mean to startle you." "It's alright," I giggled, drinking more from the bottle. "Woah," he cautioned, gently easing it from my drunken grasp. "Are you okay?" "Why wouldn't I be?" I slurred, "Your grandfather is an asshole, your great uncle is garbage, and your father... You're father..." "My father?" he asked while sipping some of the wine. "Is the only decent one," I finished. "What about Eric?
