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

  • Ivy   Friends

    "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!" 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

  • Ivy   Missed Appointment

    "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

  • Ivy   Dr. Richmond

    "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

  • Ivy   Derrick

    Everything went numb; Dimirti was kind enough to care for Rowan so I could see my son. Aodhan had no color in his lips, no pink in his cheeks like he used to; he was lying there lifeless. They often speak about the pain in your heart that you feel when you lose a loved one. They don't tell you how a hole begins to form more significant and more prominent in your heart in place of that pain, causing you to push everything and everyone away. It doesn't hurt because when you allow yourself to, it becomes so overwhelming that you just might kill or die yourself. That's what I did. I pushed down my feelings and wiped my tears because the other two weren't options. Dimitri handled the hotel arrangements for the three of us, ensuring we had the best suite on the highest floor available. No matter how much cocaine I did or how much alcohol I drank, I felt nothing. Days, months, and soon, a year went by, and I was still empty and numb. Dimitri suggested I send Rowan to boarding school wit

  • Ivy   Killer

    "Mom! It's Aodhan!" Rowan cried. I looked over and fell to my knees; tears began falling in pools from my eyes; Aodhan had been shot, too. My son, lying there lifeless. "Ahh!" I screamed. Panic settled in; blood was pouring from my baby, and I couldn't plug the hole. What can I do? I tried applying pressure with my hands, unable to stop sobbing. "Go! Pilot! Go!" Dimitri hollered while latching the stairs/door closed. The Pilot took off, knocking everyone over, but continued to press on Aodhan's wounds, his warm blood slick on my fingers as I tried applying pressure to his chest. I saw Dimitri protect Rowan from falling over, scooping him up. "Dimitri! Help me!" I begged. A look of shock overtook Dimitri briefly before he rushed, overmoved my hands, and began applying pressure to the wound, "Pilot! Closest hospital!" "What happened to Reign!? Oh my god, Ariel was shot, too!" I whined. "I don't fucking know, someone was shooting, but I couldn't see who it was. They

    Standing perplexed, I aimed for Zeus, but he dodged and missed both bullets. "Are you crazy?!" Zeus hollered. "No, I'm twisted!" I corrected myself. "Just like how you made me!" I shot once more, Zeus running and diving behind the desk. "Ivy, stop!-" "Don't!" I hissed, pointing the gun at Reign. I'm tired of both of you Castles telling me what to do!" Before I knew what was happening, I felt heaviness tackle me to the floor, accidentally firing another shot. "Get off of me!" I screamed. I fought beneath him, but I was no match. Zeus took the gun and backed away from me. "Fuck! Ivy! You shot Reign!" Dimitri hollered. Panic briefly flooded over me but was replaced with a barrel now pointed at me. "What do you want?!" I shouted. "You! I want you! But that's never enough! Everything I do is never enough for you!" Zeus complained. "Your son is dying-" "I can have more!" Zeus winced. Dimitri tackled Zeus to the ground, and the two began exchanging blows. I

    "Okay, knock it off, you two," I groaned, "Leave Zeus." "No," Zeus declined. "Then you're going to watch me fuck her-" "Mom!" Rowan came running in alongside Aodhan with a big smile. I blinked in confusion. One of his front teeth was missing, but he wasn't crying or sad about it. The dried blood on his teeth indicated it happened a while ago. "I fell off my bike and lost my tooth!" Rowan excitedly jumped up and down. "Are you okay?" I worried. "Yeah! Aodhan said if I were a big boy and didn't cry, the tooth fairy would come and give me money for my tooth!" he said, shining. Aodhan knew the tooth fairy wasn't real. I glanced at him, and he gave me a 'Mom shut up' look. "Of course!" I fibbed. "Come on. I'll get you cleaned up, and we'll put that tooth under the pillow as soon as we're done," Ariel said, lifting Rowan in her arms and taking him to the bathroom. "Do you enjoy making my sex life miserable?" I snapped. "Miserable?" he retorted, "How is it misera

  • 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

    "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
