Ivan’s POV

Am I really ready to leave everything behind and start my life afresh?

The question was a difficult one but I knew that my answer to that question is a really big yes but I’ve caused so much pain and I don’t think I’d ever stop beating myself up about it.

“You need to forgive yourself, Cassian,” Ansel’s voice put a halt to my thoughts as I lifted my gaze to meet him, “it seems like the only problem you have is yourself, forgive yourself and move on.” He finished with a smile as he stood.

Standing with him, Ansel patted my shoulder as we both made our way to the hotel room to get ready for our flights.

“Thank you.” I said as we got to the door of our various rooms and Ansel nodded before walking into his room and I also did the same.

Packing my bags, most of the things I had packed weren’t the things I came with, I’d intended to surprise Lexi so I went shopping when we finished the meeting yesterday.

    Lexi’s POVGroaning, I searched the bed for Ivan with my hands and for a moment I’d thought that I was dreaming and he isn’t really back yet but I could still smell his perfume so I knew he was really back. ‘Hey Pige, I had to leave early for work because of a really important meeting Ansel called me about but I’ll see you at the office. I love you.’The note by the bedside read and I smiled as I crawled out of bed to get ready for work. I’m really glad that he’s back and the fact that even Celine was beginning to know her place gave me some sense of peace.Sneaking out of the bedroom, I made my way to Celine’s and took a peak in her room to see that she was still sound asleep.How am I going to get the video and audio recorders I planted in her room?I’d thought that she wasn’t going to be back home last night but it turns out that I’m wrong. It’s been more than a week and I knew that there would already be some evidence.Clearing my throat, I knocked on her door gently and after a

    Lexi’s POVThere’s no way I just heard that right. I’m pregnant?!I still couldn’t believe my ears even though the writings on the walls were clear, the symptoms clearly pointed out to the fact that I might be pregnant but I’ve been too stupid to even think it might be true.A very big part of me was excited and I desperately wanted to tell Ivan that I’m carrying his baby but I have no idea how I’m going to do that either.Great! Now it’s two things that I have to tell him and I don’t know how to.Bringing out my phone to call Camille, I asked her to meet me at the coffee shop we used to go to and by the time I got there she was already there and waiting for me. Excited but scared and overwhelmed, my palms had become so sweaty as I sat in front of Camille and let out a heavy sigh before dropping the test result in front of her.“This is just a bunch of medical terms that I have zero understanding about.” She pointed out after going through the little piece of paper.“What’s going on?

    Lexi’s POVIvan turned to face me, his anger still evident in his face because of the fact that his brother came here. Sighing, I approached him and pulled him to the couch.“Don’t you trust me?” I asked, raising an eyebrow as I stared at him. Ivan pinched down hard on the bridge of his nose as if he was tired.“I do trust you, even with my life,” he answered as he pulled a strand of hair away from my face, “I just don’t really like it when someone tries to take away what’s mine.” He added and I smiled.The jealousy, the overprotectiveness and the way he stares at me always makes me lose my mind. Leaning into him, I kissed his lips softly.“I’ll always be yours and no one else’s.” I moaned in his mouth, Ivan’s grip around me tightened and he kissed me even harder until I pulled away from him.I’ve made up my mind and I didn’t want anything to change it. I’m going to let him know about the evidence I’ve been gathering but first I needed to tell him about the baby.“What do you think ab

    Lexi’s POV“What’s the matter? Why do you look so angry?” I asked as if he wasn’t looking angry before he left the house with Celine.“And where is Celine? Is she alright?” I asked again and that was where Ivan lost it. He angrily kicked the table in the center of the room before facing me properly.His eyes had turned red in anger and his breathing was faster than it was supposed to be. His forehead was a little bit wrinkled and startled, I couldn’t say anything but watch him pull his shirt off before approaching me.“Well,” he cleared his throat as he laid beside me, it was as though he’d pulled off his anger alongside his shirt.“Nothing was wrong with Celine, apparently,” he added and I opened my mouth to say something but it went shut back without words coming out.“She only decided to make me waste my time by driving her to the hospital and you know what, I really don’t want to talk about it because I knew it was an act, I could see it but you persuaded me to go with her and now

Go or you might not get to live.’The text read with every urgency crippling under my skin, I could feel my heart in my stomach as I kept rereading the text to be sure of its content. Hurriedly, with my heart racing, I called Ivan but he wasn’t answering, I could feel my sweat breaking. The cold room was suddenly becoming hot.The text had a sense of urgency and if Ivan had sent a text like this then I shouldn’t doubt him, I really need to leave and do exactly as he says.We’ll both be back when we have things figured out.Quickly, I packed some of my clothes before storming out of the house in one of the cars. It was late and I could barely see because of the tears welling up in my eyes.I couldn’t stop calling Ivan but he wasn’t picking up.

Ever since Lexi told me she has good news for me I haven’t been calm.I really wanted to see her and I couldn’t stop checking the time to know how late I’d be. I didn’t want to keep her waiting, especially since I asked her to wait for me.“You called this meeting and it’s going to be our fault that you’re getting home late for happy hour?” Ansel asked and Reece snickered.Shooting them a glare, the room fell silent and I started the meeting. I've been meaning to promote Lexi and there’s no better time to talk about it than now.Since she’s been a part of the company, her impact has been great and we’ve recorded more sales and production than usual.“She’s like your little good luck charm,” Reece smiled at me and as cute as her smile was it felt kind of creepy but I shrugged it off.I recognize the smile and it’s the one she usually does anytime she was expecting me to admit

    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.

    Lexi’s POVCamille squealed before I could bring myself to say anything, her voice jolted me out of my own thoughts and I turned back to look at Ivan.Excitement washed through me, I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn’t form a coherent word so I just shut it back.Ivan’s eyebrow raised, he was waiting for my answer, “I believe the word you’re looking for is, Yes, Ivan, let’s get married.” Camille whispered behind me and I shoved her away.I wanted to get married too, getting into a real marriage with Ivan would definitely mean my biggest dream had come true but I didn’t want to make the decision alone.I knew that they loved him so much and they’d literally ask if I’m insane to be asking them a question like that but I turned in their direction and knelt in front of them.“So?” I asked, tears welling up in my eyes and I was trying all of my best to not let the tears fall, “do you think your dad is worth marrying?” I asked, laughing.Cassian and Adeline also bursted out laughing bef

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

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

    Ivan’s POVThe closer I got to the location, the harder my heart pounded and the more difficult it got for me to breathe.Checking my phone to be absolutely sure that I was in the right place, I lifted my gaze to take a good look at the old building in front of me.My phone chimed and I looked at my side mirror to see Andrei’s car and four other cars packed behind me. 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,
