Lexi’s POVWhy do I have to have the worst life ever?I was scared but I couldn’t possibly break down in a place of work especially since I’ve decided to handle things on my own and focus on my work for the day.With shaky hands, I deleted all of my emails and started working on the tons of files I had in front of me, except most of it was just a disguise and was filled with threats and insults.“How is it going? Are you okay?” Ivan questioned as soon as he walked into the office and moved closer to me to plant a kiss on my cheek.Letting out a breath of relief, I looked over at the paper shredder to see that it had shredded all of the papers I put in it.I thought about telling Ivan about the threat I was getting online but he’s better off thinking that everything had finally died down and that there was nothing to deal with anymore.“I’m fine.” I swallowed what seemed to be the lie I’d just spewed as I nodded positively with a fake smile on my lips desperately hoping that he wouldn’
Ivan’s POV“What the hell?” I sighed to myself as my eyes scanned the entire pictures in her drawer. Pulling the chair out to have my seat, a notification popped on the screen of her laptop, I knew what I was doing was wrong but I couldn’t just look away. ‘Stay away from him you bitch!’The message read and that prompted me to go through her entire mail even the one she’d trashed and my blood boiled. I felt my anger build up as I went through everything.I knew that she’s been acting strange and I knew that it had to do with the scandal some weeks ago. She was not only getting bullied by some stupid reporters but she was also getting death threats from strangers and never thought that it would be a good idea for me to know.Everything started making more sense. The tons of paper already shredded, the shredding machine and the way she gets so jumpy whenever someone knocks on the office door.Lexi hasn’t been herself for weeks, she’d stopped being merry around the workers and that wa

Ivan’s POVAll my life, after I became an orphan and with Lexi trampling on my heart I’d always thought that falling in love would be a long stretch until fate brought her back to me again and maybe then we were just a bunch of stupid high school kids but now we’re grown.We’re older and I desperately don’t want to mess things up between us. Lexi’s groan jolted me out of my thought as she turned over and placed her hand on my chest.Her bare body pushing up against mine, her breasts touching my ribs and her faint breath on my skin was just everything I needed early in the morning.Gently pushing her away from me, I stood up quietly because I wanted to do something nice. Leaving the bedroom silently, I made my way to the kitchen to make her breakfast.It’s the weekend and with what happened yesterday I believe she needed a break, one where I’ll be with her throughout the day.Opening the fridge, I brought out eggs and decided to make her omelette, steak and maybe everything I could fin
Lexi’s POVMy stomach hurts so much that it feels like someone was twirling daggers right inside my abdomen and I knew my cramps was going to be terrible which was why I allowed Ivan to fuck me last night.I’d thought that if he saw me in this state or if he saw that I’d stained his really expensive blanket and bedspread he was going to think I was disgusting but he didn’t and he’d pet me and even gone to get me tampons instead.The sound of my phone ringing put a halt to my thoughts and I picked it up to see that Camille was the one calling. We’ve barely spoken to each other since the scandal and I missed her so much.“Lexi!” She shrieked as soon as I picked up the call, “goodness, how are you? How have you been?” She asked, making a smile form on my lips.I could hear the worry in her voice and she was also trying so hard to not bring up the fact that a video of me fucking my boss was all over the internet.Catching up, Camille and I spoke about things that we haven’t been able to d
Lexi’s POVIt’s been three days and Ivan hasn’t stopped being sweet to me. Over the weekend, Ivan would bring me breakfast in bed claiming that I was vulnerable and shouldn’t be working.Sighing, I looked through my closet as I searched for what to wear. It's a Monday and also my first time back in the office after what happened last week.“What do you think you’re doing?” Ivan asked, raising an eyebrow as I turned to see him knotting his tie, “where are you going?” He inquired.“Work, it’s Monday and I’m fine now, and…” I tried to explain but Ivan silenced me with a kiss instead as he pulled me closer to him.“Oh pige,” he started with a sigh, calling me a pet name he’s gotten so used to, pige, which was short for pigeon sounded good to him although I’d never understand why.“You’re staying home today,” he affirmed, releasing me to go back to knotting his tie while I stared at him dumbfoundedly.“Why?” I finally asked, not understanding why he would want me to stay back home with Cel
Lexi’s POV“What do you think we should do then?” Celine asked, I’d decided to stick around and eavesdrop even more so that I can hear the rest of their plans.“The blogger has been arrested and the moment she opens her big mouth to tell the cops that I was the one who told her to do what she did, we’re doomed and I’m sure as hell not going down alone.” She added in what sounded like some sort of threat.Listening to them talk was horrible, I wanted to storm in there and tell them that their cover had been blown as I already know that they don’t have Ivan’s best interest at heart but I thought against it because going in there was too dangerous.“We’ll do something about her, don’t worry.” Charlotte assured Celine and my fear grew. I was scared for the blogger because they probably offered her a huge sum of money for her to agree to something like that but taking care of her?What does it mean? What are they going to do to the poor girl?Focusing on hearing their plans first so that I
Lexi’s POV“Hey!” Ivan’s voice made me lift my head up from the last file I was working on. I had no idea how long I’ve been sitting behind the desk working but I was sure that it was for hours because it wasn’t until now did I start feeling the pain in my fingers and back.“You’re back,” I smiled, “I’ll just finish up with this and… done!” I added before standing up to hug Ivan, he looked stressed and he didn't need to tell me how his day went because I could already guess.Smiling, we walked out of the study together, on our way to his room Celine saw us and I didn’t miss the pure hatred and disgust in her eyes as we passed her but I also didn’t care.Ivan stood behind me as we were about to go in, I knew he was excited and in such a good mood but just when I was about to ask why he placed his palm on my eyes before opening the door.“I have a surprise for you, but you can’t see until I tell you so just keep your eyes closed and wait for my order to open them.” He finished.It was e
