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!" a deep, muffled voice brought me out of the darkness "Ivy!" My body began shaking from side to side, "Ivy!" I felt a hard smack on my cheek, jolting me awake. I blinked away the blurriness in my eyes to reveal Zeus leaning over me. "W-what happened?" I croaked. "You fainted," Zeus stated, "I didn't know you could get any paler than you naturally are, but you looked like a ghost." I felt a deep tug within me, followed by a sharp pain around my hip. I glanced down to see the color of my skin turning different deep shades of purple and blue. I must have hit the ground hard. I tried sitting up but instantly felt dizzy, having to sit back down. "Easy," Zeus warranted, "You hit the ground hard. It was as if your soul left your body." Confused, I blinked, "I'm sorry, I never meant for you to deal with that." "You're apologizing for fainting?" he commented. Knock, Kock, Knock "Come in," Zeus invited. A woman carrying a large tray of fresh fruit and a charcuterie

I leaned into the warmth of his massive hand with a smile. He had just taken care of me and didn't have to. He could have gotten angry and returned the money, but he didn't. He cared for me and expressed it with his actions. He didn't have to feed and help me with my hip, but he did without hesitation. "I don't know if I can physically handle it," I whispered with heavy-lidded eyes, "My hip." "Don't worry," Zeus hushed while pressing his forehead to mine, "I won't hurt you." With a final breath, I felt his lips on mine. Not rough like Dimitri, but gentle like waves on the beach. He began caressing my face with the hand I leaned into, firm yet kind, while guiding me gently back onto the bed. He embraced me, slowly easing me down, being sure not to hurt me. The way he made sure I was okay helped me surrender myself to him. I may not know him well, but how he's been today gave me some form of comfort. Right now, I needed comfort. His hand lightly caressed my thighs as my skirt fel

"I have to head home for a doctor's appointment tomorrow," I explained. "I have a doctor who makes house calls," Zeus countered, "Not to brag, but I feel he's much better in his field than the current one you're seeing." I rolled my eyes. You are the last person I want to know about this. "That's very generous of you," I replied, "But I trust my doctor." With a grunt, he ran his fingers through his thick silver hair and approached me, "When's your appointment? It's about a six-hour drive back to your home." I froze. No.No.No. I can't wait any longer. I need to know. Without hesitation, I removed my phone from my purse and called my doctor. "This is Dr. Prickett's office; how may I assist you?" "Hi, my name is Ivy. I had an appointment today at 1 p.m., but I needed to reschedule. Is there anything available for later today or tomorrow?" "Just one moment." I was on hold for what felt like an eternity. I bit my bottom lip while tapping my heel in frustration. This can

"Hello, Miss Ivy, I'm Dr. Richmond," he introduced. Jeez, was every man in this socialite circled so handsome? Dr. Richmond was handsome. His piercing pitch-black eyes, greying flowing black hair accompanied by his chiseled jaw and muscular physique. Couldn't he at least be less attractive? Older maybe? I wanted to hide myself. I knew I didn't look great from crying yesterday. My eyes were still slightly swollen, and I could barely sleep, even with Zeus holding me all night long. I shook his hand. "Thank you for seeing me on such short notice." "It's not a problem at all," he smiled. I've known Mr. Castle for a long time." "Mr. Castle?" I looked at Zeus, "Your name is Zeus Castle?" Zeus beamed, "Yes, it is. I'll leave you both alone." Once he closed my bedroom door behind him, I dropped my head in misery. This wasn't going to be easy. "What seems to be troubling you?" he asked. I sighed at him, "I think I'm pregnant. I don't need to be examined. I need an answer. The

"How in the blue hell do you expect me to mount this horse?" I chuckled, "This thing's dick is level with my head!" "That's my boy, Hades," Zeus corrected while patting the horse, "He's my Clydesdale. This is Artemis, an Irish Draught. I won them in a card game in Scotland." I shook my head in disbelief, "She's nearly as massive as Hades." "Calm down," Zeus spanked me. "Uh!" I yelped. "Stop complaining, and I'll help you up," he commanded. I wanted to fold my arms in protest and walk away from this massive beast, but something in her eyes made me stop. Her pitch-black fur, eyes, and matching thick, long mane made her seem sad. I don't know how to describe it, but there was sorrow in her eyes. I dropped my head in defeat before walking over to the saddle. I shoved my right black boot in while Zeus pushed me up by my rear. My hand seized the pommel as I threw my leg over the seat. "See? Wasn't so hard," he boasted before mounting Hades. "Now what?" I asked. "Grab

"How did you get this all set up?" I asked while Zeus helped me down from Artemis. "I set it up before Dr. RIchmond arrived. These heavy metal coverings and the blanket prevent the insects and animals from doing the rest while I came back for you. We're only ten minutes from my home, if not less. My horses are fast. This is their home to rome free," Zeus answered while guiding me to the massive blanket where four trays of food awaited us. "How did you bring it out here?" I teased. "The golf cart," he confessed as we sat down. I saw him remove a fancy bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from a wicker holder. "No champagne?" I wondered "No," his eyes diverted, "It's lighter on the stomach and better for you." "What is this?" I asked, seizing it from his grasp. "It's mine," he confessed, "One of the first batches I ever made." "1993?" I read, "This bottle is older than me." He took it back and began removing the cork. I shrugged and removed one of the metal entrapments to r
Last Updated : 2024-09-16Ivy Rest
When I left Zeus, it was as if he was doing anything to make me stay. Why would I? Given the massive size of his house, I didn't run into Eve, Reign, or Dimitri. Once I finished depositing my money in the bank and made it home, I knew there were two people I needed to talk to—two people I'd been missing. "There you are!" I felt a familiar voice behind me. "Here I am!" I cried, throwing my arms around Tanya. Where's Eric?" "He went to do something real quick," she answered, "So, how were things with Zeus?" "Better than I could have expected if I'm being honest," I admitted, "He was kind, tender, compassionate, nothing like the man I met before." "She studied me momentarily, "Hold on, do you like him?" It was happiness I heard in her voice; it was almost worrisome. "Not as much as I care for you and Eric," I corrected. I might like him, maybe. If I'm being honest, I don't even think I liked Dimitri or Callista." "Are you sure?" she asked. "I'm sure about Dimitri and

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,"
Ivy Stupidity
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
Ivy Twisted
"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
Ivy Ireland
"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
