Ivan’s POV

I’d tried really hard to get the thought of the girl, Lexi, that came to the hospital to see me, apparently, out of my head but it seemed like the more I tried, the more I set the ground up for failure.

She looked familiar to me without a doubt, her eyes were ones that I knew damn well that I’ve seen before, her beautiful brown hair was so mesmerizing and I knew that I definitely must’ve seen it somewhere.

But where and how?

The smell of her perfume, the way her lips turned to her pout when Celine insulted her, everything was so familiar but the more I tried to remember the more my head aches and all I ever get was a blur.

Who is this girl and why does her presence bother yet comforts me so much?

Shaking my head, I couldn’t believe that I was thinking about a stranger like this so I just shrugged it off and decided to convince myself.

“She’s probably one of those girls you’ve fucked, don’t think too much about her; she’s not special.” I told myself but I knew that it was a

    Lexi’s POVThe hatred I saw in his eyes was intense and I knew that I was fighting a lost battle but I couldn’t just give up even if I tried.Ivan is mine. We promised each other forever and walking away without even trying to make him remember will make me feel nothing less than a coward.“Did you not hear me?” He asked, jolting me out of my thoughts as I lifted my gaze to meet him. The pain from my accident still surged through me but it’s nothing compared to the pain of the man I love completely forgetting about me.My arm was bandaged and he didn’t even care to ask me what was wrong with me. I knew that I'd lost my husband but I also knew that it wasn’t completely.Behind this big jerk is the Ivan I spent most nights with wishing everything we had would be forever.“Lexi!” He yelled and my head snapped up at once with widened eyes as I looked at him, my heart leapt for joy at the way he called my name but the joy soon shattered.“Or whatever it is you’re called, you have exactly 3

    Lexi’s POV“I’m sorry,” I hiccuped, I felt defeated like there was no more hope for me. The last flicker of light that brought hope to me had died and there was nothing I could do about it anymore.“I’ll leave and never disturb Ivan or you anymore.” I muttered as I turned to leave but questions ran through my mind.Questions about why Ivan managed to remember everyone else in his life but forgot every single detail of the time we spent together.He doesn’t even remember as little as that first night even though I was a stranger then.He’s probably doing this on purpose, he probably remembers me and he’s just intentionally ignoring me so that I’m going to stay far away from him like the text message mentioned.But if he was really trying to protect me he should've given me a sign, he should’ve at least said something that would put my mind at ease knowing that he remembers but is just trying his best to protect me but none of this was the case.He’d completely forgotten me, I knew it.

    Lexi’s POVONE MONTH LATER.“You can’t keep stressing and obsessing over him, Lexi,” Camille’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts. My eyes were itchy and I felt pains all over my body.“You have something else to stress about, your baby keeps growing and with each day that you keep brooding, you’re harming your child.” She explained and I sighed as I dropped the fork on my plate.It’s been a month and there has still been no words from Ivan. I knew that there’s a possibility that he was never going to call me but a part of me was still holding out hope.I miss him so much and everyday, I’d cry and wish he was here to see my belly bulging even though the pregnancy isn’t that visible yet.“I just miss him.” I sighed, sniffling and holding back tears because I knew what Camille was going to say if I cried again.The doctor had already advised me against crying because of my eyesight and she’d also recommended drugs and foods to take for the growth of my baby.“It’s okay to miss him, it’s

    Lexi’s POVMy chest hurt as I left Reece’s office, her voice telling me that Ivan was getting engaged kept replaying in my head and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t let it go.Getting into my car, I yelled as loud as my lungs could, hitting the steering wheel and also jamming my head right into it in hopes that I was going to suffer a concussion that’ll make me lose my memory too.I really needed to forget all of this, it was causing me so much pain and I’ve gotten to my threshold. I can’t have myself thinking about it anymore but I also can’t seem to stop thinking about it.“Why is this happening to me? Why?” I questioned no one in particular, I resented my life and now I feel like I’d actually die.Clutching the steering wheel tightly, I drove off with nowhere in particular in mind. I didn’t want to go back to Camille’s apartment just yet because I’m going to be the only one home so I just decided to drive around.My phone chimed and I picked it up to see that it was a message

    Lexi’s POV‘Crazy lady.’ Ivan’s words kept ringing in my head and there was nothing I could do about it. My chest hurt so much and my entire being was broken but he already made his choice.Whether consciously or not, he already chose who he wants to be with now and that person isn’t me. Dejected, I walked back to my car with lots of thoughts running through my mind.Maybe it won’t be such a terrible idea to leave the city like Andrei and Reece had suggested.My drive back to Camille’s apartment was a silent one and not because there was no one I could talk to in the car with me but because I was lost in my own head.“Where have you been? I was so worried about you.” Camille’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts as soon as I stepped inside the apartment,Jumping, I clutched my chest out of fear, I really wasn’t expecting her to get off work so early but she already told me that she was going to.Shrugging, I made my way to my room with Camille following closely behind me.

I ordered dinner when my stomach wouldn’t stop growling and I laid on the bed while I waited for my food to come.Curling up like a wet cat, I thought about Ivan again but the tears that always dropped whenever I thought about him didn’t even do as little as well up in my eyes.I was exhausted, my body ached and my heart was in my stomach. I felt cold despite the fact that the heater in the room was working perfectly.How is he doing now? Does he at-least try to remember who I am and why I’m so persistent.Questions ran through my mind but soon came to a halt when I heard a soft knock on the door, sniffling, I did my robe and went to answer the door.The aroma of the food was so alluring

    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

    Lexi’s POV“I missed you too.” I responded as I hugged him, I didn’t want anything to interrupt this moment and I just wanted to be holding him forever.“Want me to show you how much I missed you?” He asked and I smiled, I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me what he meant by that and my god, do I want it just as much!He took my face in his hand and kissed me, slipping his tongue between my lips, teasing and making me shiver in pleasure.He nibbled at my tongue and I moaned in his mouth, my hands moved to his chest as I felt his heart pounding. 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,
