Ivan’s POV

Smiling to myself, I already saw Lexi make her way to my office but I never moved my gaze away from the document I was working on. She’d frozen in her tracks for a moment.

I had thought that it was probably because she saw the name and remembered who it was but my thoughts were cleared when she turned and the fear was evident in her eyes.

She didn’t freeze because she recognized me, she froze because she wasn’t expecting that I’ll be the one sitting behind that CEO tag.

She didn’t recognize Cassian Alessio but she sure as hell recognized Ivanović Volkov. My hope of the name by the door jolting her memory was dashed and once again fresh anger flowed through me.

Was I really that forgettable that she forgot all about me? All about the beautiful moment we shared and how she was herself whenever she was with me?

“We don’t have the whole day, Lady,” I growled and the sound of my voice made the fear on her face deepen even more, “have your seat and let’s get started.” I added, my

    Lexi’s POV I still couldn’t believe the fact that I’ve been living with the richest personality in the world, Cassian Alessio, the Tech God!The thought of it alone gave me unexplainable tingles and I really wanted to talk to someone about it but there was no way that I could, especially since I’d signed the confidentiality agreements.No one had seen the real CEO of CassianTech and I couldn’t help but wonder how he was able to keep his identity a secret but then I remembered the contract.No one that has actually seen him dared say it to the public. The name kept ringing bells in my head and I tried really hard to remember where I’d heard that name before but still, nothing came.No matter how hard I tried it seemed as though the name itself doesn’t want to be remembered by me. Shrugging it off, I made my way out of the elevator and bumped into Reece.“I’m sorry.” apologized as I handed her the papers that I’d made fall off her hand when I hit her.“It’s fine, it’s not like it’s the

    Lexi’s POV The hand never came down to my face and I slowly opened my eyes to check what had happened when I saw Ivan still glaring down at me.I could’ve sworn that I saw his expression soften but it was crystal clear that he was still angry from the way his breathing paced to the way his muscles tensed.I could feel his angry breath on my face until he left to kick the small wooden centre table, making jump and yelp in fear as I covered both of my ears in utter fear.What have I done?Turning his back on me, the hairs on the back of my neck began to prickle as I watched Ivan rubbed his in frustration.His tall figure stiffened and for the first time I felt like Ivan was trying to control the anger he felt towards me and it was probably because he wasn’t trying to ruin his reputation.The sight of his muscles rippling under his suit quickened my pulse. How could I even notice that?!His tall figure turned and started heading towards me, making it hard for me to swallow the bile that

    Ivan’s POV“Remember that you’re not allowed to leave until you’re done sorting the documents out with no mistakes.” I said through gritted teeth as my blue eyes peered into her frustrated brown eyes.I couldn’t miss the flicker of tears that was hanging onto the side of her eyelashes, “yes Sir.” Her voice was so low that I almost couldn’t hear her.“Why are you still standing before me!” I yelled, my voice causing a roaring effect that she jumped before scampering out of my sight to pick up the papers that were scattered on the floor.I knew that there was no way that Lexi would be able to concentrate on the job I’d asked her to do but the plea on her face when she stared at me, her eyes begging me to allow her to come made something come alive in me but I wasn’t doing this for pleasure.Or maybe I was doing this for my own pleasure but definitely not hers and if anything I wanted to torture her, I wanted to hear her scream my name and beg for permission to release the liquid that ha

    Lexi’s POV“Oh No, no, no.” I cried as my alarm woke me up from my deep slumber, I still had a lot of work to do and I dared to sleep off?Staring at the files in fear, I started working on it as rapidly as I could and I knew that my fast wouldn’t be fast enough because Ivan would soon be in the office.Continuing my job anyways, I tried really hard to double check the ones I’d done last night because I was seriously sleepy and I needed to make sure that there was no mistake before handing them all to Ivan.I was still trying to double check and go through the pile of papers in front of me when my pen fell off my hand.What is wrong with me?Weak and tired, I bent to pick up my pen and that was when I noticed the jacket on the floor, I recognized it because it was the same one Ivan wore yesterday.But why is it under my desk and what was it doing there?Picking it up, I found myself bringing it up to my nose and Ivan’s fresh scent hit me harder than it ever had even when he was around

    Lexi’s POVEmbarrassed, I quickly averted my gaze and looked away as I rummaged through the closet. Everything in there wasn’t office friendly and I really tried to find an appropriate outfit but most of what’s here are lingeries and short skirts and crop tops.“I…. I’m sorry but I don’t think I can wear any of these here. They’re inappropriate.” I stammered as I spoke.Sighing, Ivan stood and walked with so much grace into the room as he stretched his hand towards the closet and pulled one hanger out.“Well, you have to wear something or you’ll go to the meeting with your towel.” He pointed out as he shoved the outfit at me before walking out to continue with his work.I’d completely forgotten about the meeting and I was supposed to be the one reminding him about it. Looking at the black short skirt and red shirt, I shrugged and put it on.What can possibly go wrong? He picked it out for me.Dressing up, I looked at the mirror and my jaw dropped. I honestly looked more like a hooker

    Lexi’s POVObediently, I stood from the floor and staggered. My vision had already become blurry but whose vision would still remain clear after the multiple kicks, hair pulling and flinging across the room that I’d endured?Ivan picked up what seemed like a remote and pushed a button on it making the entire room become dark all of a sudden.The glasses suddenly became tinted and I could see everyone outside but I was so sure that no one out there would be able to see what was going on inside here.Fear gripped me and my entire body became so cold that I could feel my blood slowly beginning to dry up.What does he want to do?Whatever he had in mind I knew wouldn’t be anything good and not only that, I felt like he was going to hurt me, like he was going to do something really horrible to me.“Darlene,” he called the girl sweetly and I felt a sense of jealousy, he had never called my name like that before and we’ve spent months together.Does he really hate me that much? Am I really n

    Lexi’s POVIt’s been months already and things still haven't changed between Ivan and I. He has made my life more miserable in months than my stepfather has in years.I’d contemplated running away but there was nowhere I could go to that Ivan won’t catch up with me. I also can’t beg for mercy to leave the marriage because the term years for our contract marriage hasn’t even gotten to the stage where I could ask him to change his mind.Sniffling after getting another share of Ivan’s anger at the office today, I tried to concentrate on the work I was doing when the door to our office flung open.Ivan walked in with Ansel and it has also been months but he still hasn’t gotten to like me yet. Reece was the only one who liked and tried to put me into consideration.Smiling at him, I tried to be friendly but he only ignored me as he walked with Ivan to his table. Placing the papers on the table for Ivan to go through, Ansel told him about the investor that he would be meeting later today an

    Ivan’s POV“Congratulations.” A male voice brought me back to the present and I turned to see one of the investors behind me. I’d gotten so engrossed with watching Lexi leave that I forgot that I was still surrounded by a lot of people.“Thank you,” I responded as we both clinked our glasses, “I promise not to disappoint you and those who have put their trust in us.” I added with a smile that he returned.We spoke for a while and I had to have another meeting with the entire board of the company’s directors. I’d been nervous on my way here because I would usually bring Reece along and she handled things perfectly but Lexi exceeded my expectations.The meeting ended and they decided to throw the party till late at night but I wasn’t really present, I couldn’t stop thinking about the elevator, the speech and now CassianTech is becoming bigger than it already is.The party became too crowded and I couldn’t stay there a minute longer. I've always hated business parties but I never felt so

    Lexi’s POVTHREE YEARS LATER.“Food is ready!” I called out to the men while Camille, Reece and I set the table. I knew they weren’t going to answer me because of the game that they were watching.“I can bet you a hundred dollars that they wouldn’t leave that couch even if they were dying of hunger.” Reece sighed and Camille quickly agreed but I only smiled.“I’ll take that bet from both of you so if I get them to stand up, I get a hundred bucks each from you guys?” I asked and they agreed.Not calling them anymore, I went about setting the table and after a while I decided to lean against the wall, cleaning off the sweat on my forehead and rubbing my belly.“He just kicked! The baby just kicked!” I screamed with a wince as the men flew up from the couch, Camille’s boyfriend inclusive with Ivan leading the army.My eyes lit up and an eyebrow raised, Cassian caught on immediately and told the rest that I was lying, they were about to return to the sitting room when we insisted that the

It took a while for it to finally sink in but they soon got it.“But despite that, he’s still family and I love him so much.” I finished with a smile and they both nodded. I could tell Andrei was holding back tears and I wanted to shorten the meeting but he insisted on getting to know them more.Moving away so that I was going to give them the privacy that they needed, I walked over to Lexi who was still admiring her ring.

He caught my hand and began to move it down until I could feel his hard cock.“You probably already know this,” he whispered into my mouth, “this is what you do to me, you know how hard it was for me to not be able to do things that I want to you?” He asked and I smiled.Leaning against him, my hands seemed to have a mind of their own as they began to unbutton his pants. All I could feel right now was waiting and urgency as I undid his trousers

    Ivan’s POVAndrei, Reece, Ansel and the undercover policemen came right in just about the same time that I knocked the gun off Darren’s hands.“What the hell took you so long?!” I snapped as Andrei made a call for paramedics. Cassian and Adeline’s eyes were closed and even Lexi had passed out already.We got into Andrei’s car, leaving the police at the scene of the crime while we followed the ambulance to the hospital.I was in pain but the pain was nothing compared to the kind of relief that I felt knowing that everything was finally over.“Will they be fine?” I asked, my eyes not leaving the ambulance in front of us and Andrei nodded. I never would’ve thought that he was actually going to help me out in all of this.“I just thought you should know that it also took you so long to call for help.” He rolled his eyes as he stepped on the accelerator when he noticed that he was losing the ambulance we were following.Smiling, I rested my back against the chair and closed my eyes.

    Lexi’s POV“What? No! Darren, you can’t do that, please.” I begged, wanting to crawl over to my kids but the men’s knives on both their necks and Celine’s gun pointed in the direction of Adeline caused me to stop.“Don’t pull that trigger, Celine, you got what you want and they’re innocent, they’re still too young, they don’t deserve this.” I sniffled, Cassian and Adeline’s eyes closed and they both looked tired.It’s been a week and the only thing they’ve been taking since I joined them was water, my babies were weak and seeing them in that situation caused fear to ripple through me.What if they died now? What if Celine didn’t pull the trigger and they drop dead out of weakness.I shook my head to get the horrible questions that were racing through my mind, an act I regretted almost immediately because my head started pounding.My vision had become blurry and I could barely see or hear anything clearly. My stomach hurt and I tried to apply pressure on it so that it would at-least st

    Lexi’s POVI watched as Ivan handed all of the papers he came with to her. I had no idea that this was going to happen, that he was just going to give away his blood and sweat because he wanted to save us.The pain I was feeling was starting to become unbearable and I clutched my stomach as it felt like someone was twisting my insides with a very sharp dagger.“Why?” I finally asked as I lifted my gaze, stopping the exchange that was about to happen between Celine and Ivan.“Why are you both doing this?” I demanded, it all just didn’t make any sense to me that Celine was using the kids and I as leverage to get Ivan.The fact that she asked him to propose to her and threatened to kill us if he doesn’t just to prove that she could get him too.It all just seemed stupid but I also knew that sensible would’ve never really been a part of a psychopath’s dictionary.“If you aren’t going to think about me, Darren, at-least think about the children.” I continued, I have no idea what I think I

I recognized Ansel’s car too.No one would have known that they were with me so I summoned all of my strengths, drew in a deep breath and got out of the car to see a man waiting for me right outside the old building.“Your phone?” His voice was husky and slightly intimidating and without any questions, I handed him my phone.I’d already cleared all chats between me, Andrei, Reece and Ansel and I’d already cleared my call logs too just in case they wanted to go through my phone.“Where is my family?” I asked, swallowing the lump that had formed at the back of my throat as I forced it down with saliva.Not saying anything,
