Hello dear readers. Thank you for voting gems and for your comments. While reading the next chapter, I suggest you listen to Hafdis Huld's version of Barry White's classic, The first, The last, My everything. I loved it for them and hope you will too.
Ivyrose’s POV When mom and I arrived at the church the morning after, it amazed me how Gerardo had made sure the building was surrounded with his men and everyone was checked before they were allowed inside. Mom told the limo driver to go around the back so the guests and the paparazzi wouldn’t get a glimpse of me. “This way.” Seb helped my mom out of the limo first before he held my hand and led us into the back entrance of the church. He took us to a small room which had two couches and a full body wall mirror. “You guys can wait here, okay? The bathroom's right here. There's a window you can use if ever you change your mind and want to run away." he chuckled at his own joke as he left the bathroom door open. "I’m going to go check on your groom. You ladies need anything?”“No. I’m good. Mom?” my mom shook her head and I smiled at Seb. “We’re good. Thanks, Seb.”“Okay. Great. Stay put. I’ll put two men outside this door.”“Not necessary, but yeah, thanks.” My mother said to Seb
Ivyrose’s POV “Villa de Sanguin”, New Haven, New York One year after the wedding “Happy Thanksgiving, Mrs. Cole.” Gareth said the moment I opened my eyes. I smiled, feeling the butterflies fluttering in my stomach as he tucked my hair behind my ears before caressing my face. “Happy Thanksgiving, Mr. Gareth Cole. I love you so—.” His lips touched mine and the sweet words I was supposed to say melted. “I love you so much too, my dear wife. And now, let me give you a peek of just how much I do.” Gareth gave me a peck on the lips before he started nibbling my ear while his hand lifted my short silk nightgown to expose my panties. He put his hand under it and started rubbing my clit. Gareth swirled his tongue in the opening of my ear canal and sent jolts of pleasure down my core. I moaned and bit my lips as he trailed kisses from the side of my neck down to my breasts. A few seconds later, my hips lifted involuntarily when Gareth’s tongue started flicking on my clit, sucking it
Ricardo Sanguin’s POVBy four in the afternoon everything was ready— the food, the drinks, the servants and the mansion. It finally looked like a home, a home with a thankful family. I stood in our lobby where the main staircase was lit with decorative lights and draped with all kinds of wild flowers and leaves. The chandelier glimmered above us. "Everything looks perfect, doesn't it, Mr. Cole?" "Sure does, Mrs. Cole.""Dad called, he said mom forgot something at the hotel and Hudson went with her, but they'll be flying as soon as they come back.""Well it wouldn't be you mom if she doesn't forget something.""I know. Listen, you want to video call with your folks and Hannah? We can go to our room.""Nah. They're okay. We talked yesterday they're in Positano.""Well great. Now I envy them." she pouted jokingly. "Hmm if your offer to go to our room is still on the table, I can assure you wouldn't want to be anywhere else, but beneath me.""Hmmmm. Stop it, Gareth. We don't have time
Ivyrose’s POV Everything was blurry and everyone sounded distorted. Gareth lifted me and carried me to the living room, putting me to lie down on the couch. My hearing suddenly came back and I heard him tell our butler to start dinner without us. “Rosie. Are you okay?” he sat beside me, his brows furrowed. “Mom called me. Dad's plane… It blew up.” I sobbed. Just when everything was perfect life threw a punch at me again. “That's what Hudson said too, but then I saw you fall and I dropped the call. It doesn't make any sense. I’m calling him right now. Shit. He’s not answering.” “Try my mom.” I handed him my phone while Seb sat on the wooden center table and fanned my face with a folded newspaper. “Hudson! Oh thank god. Are you okay? Yes. They’re here. Okay.” Hailey’s trembling voice suddenly interrupted the silence. She handed her phone to me. “Ivy? I’m really sorry. We don’t know what happened. The plane just blew up right after it took off. Your mom’s here. After we got back
Christopher’s POVTouchPoint Inc. BuildingMidtown Manhattan“I want you to eat me here on this table when everyone goes home.” I looked at the beautiful daughter of Drake Malone, one of the company’s investors, sitting opposite me on the table and winked at her. I then bent my head back down and typed my reply. “With pleasure. Make sure you spread your legs wide for me. I’m gonna make you cum so many times you’ll beg me to stop.”“Are you going to fuck me hard too? I heard stories about you.” she giggled from across the table while some of the younger investors heard and looked at her.“As hard as you want it, baby. Whatever you heard, forget about it. I’ll treat you special. I’ll lick your sweet wet folds and stick my tongue as deep as it can go. I’ll make you scream.”“Good god, when is that partner of yours going to stop talking, huh? I’m so wet already, Chris. I’m so glad I obeyed daddy and came to observe this meeting or else I’d never would’ve bumped into you.”“I’m just glad
Ricardo Sanguin’s POVSnow fell on Rex’s casket as it was lowered six feet under. Ivanna was crying loudly beside me, holding on to my arm and on the other side of me was Ivyrose who sobbed quietly. The two of them have been fighting because Ivanna wouldn't tell her what she and Rex had been fighting about before he died. When they started putting the dirt onto the hole, Ivanna ran away, crying and Hailey went with her. I was still standing quietly beside Ivyrose when Paul and Ivan, her old body guards, approached her. “Our deepest condolences, Miss Foxworth. Your father was a great boss.” Ivan said, holding her hand. Paul nodded to me and I shook his hand.“Thank you. If the both of you still want to continue working I’m sure I can find you a client or maybe—.”“Miss Foxworth, Ivan and I have had our own security company in Mexico even before we worked for your father.”“What? Then why did you work for him and agreed to follow a brat around New York?”“Because he offered us a price
Ricardo Sanguin’s POV "Ricardo! No! But why?" Rex squinted, adjusting to the light. "You've had your ass kicked for a month and that's all you have to say to me?" I chuckled. I looked at the mighty Rex Foxworth and felt tingles of happiness all over my body. He looked like a homeless man in a dirty torn tux who’s been mugged at least a hundred times. His fingernails and toenails were all gone, pulled out by Seb while I watched him scream and asked what he did to deserve it. The buttons of his inner dirty white shirt were open and his chest had cauterized wounds of different sizes and shapes. "What do you want, Ricardo? The company? Don't hurt Ivy. I'll give you the company. I'll give you everything you want." "Everything I want? But don't you see, Rex? I do have everything I want. Ivyrose is the CEO of your company and you are here as my prisoner, but the cherry on top— that woman whom you said could never be mine, she is my wife now. Here watch this. We fucked right on your
Ricardo Sanguin’s POV Live in twenty minutes, boss. After I read the text, I tossed my phone on the other side of the bed and held her in my arms as she slept peacefully. My beautiful Rosie. She had her head on my chest and I caressed her hair. Ivyrose moved in her sleep, got off my chest, and laid on her back. It was already seven in the morning and I knew she was waking up, so I started playing with her nipples through her silk pajamas until they hardened and she moaned. “Mmmm. That’s always the best way to wake up.” “Really? Close your eyes again. I wanna try something else.” “Okay.” she giggled and closed her eyes when I kissed her cheeks. “That’s great too.” “How about this one?” I said as I pulled down her silky pants and panties, parted her legs and started licking her folds going to her clit. “So if I keep my eyes closed you’ll think I’m still asleep and you’ll continue that to wake me up, right?”“Right.” I chuckled and continued to pleasure her while my hand wen

Ivyrose’s POV“A year ago it was all over the news how New York was finally Mafia free. The Mafia Dons and all their goons, along with all corrupt government agents were either all put behind bars or killed in the biggest entrapment in history, thanks to the genius of billionaire Christopher Stanford. He made a program that could hack…”Gareth turned the TV off before he jumped into the bed with me. He tickled my feet and I kicked and screamed for him to stop in between fits of laughter. I was just randomly changing channels when Christopher’s face showed up and I got curious. It was his interview for a talk show.I knew what it was going to be about. Gareth told me how, after I disappeared, Christopher fought with him and they almost killed each other before he listened to Gareth about where I really was. He asked him to help defeat the whole mafia system by taking out all their paid allies. Of course when everything was done, Gareth disappeared and gave Chris all the glory. Accordi
Ivyrose’s POV It felt good to be unknown. I loved how I could walk the streets and people didn’t have any idea who I was or would judge me for my sins. Being off the grid in the city of Kuta in Bali, was the best decision I ever made. I lived in a rental cottage that’s only big enough for four people, but I couldn’t be any happier than living in all the mansions in New York. Sometimes I felt so all alone and scared that I liked to think that Paul and Ivan were secretly living a few houses down the road and were still watching over me, trying their best to be invisible, ordered by Gareth to give him peace of mind that I was safe. The market fruit vendor, Mr. Uwir, who also happened to be my neighbor, handed me a plastic bag full of mangostenes and we exchanged small talk until eventually it ended with him inviting me to attend his granddaughter's birthday party the next day. I accepted in a heart beat when I heard she was the same age as Harmony. I missed the two of them so much, bu
Ricardo Sanguin's POV The sound of the gunfire right in front of me rang sharp and cost me my hearing. I saw Ivy drop the gun on the floor and kneeled right after, crying. For a few seconds I was lost in the suddenness of everything that transpired, thinking I got shot by Rex. With my shaking hands I hurriedly unlocked the chain from my foot and ran to Ivyrose. I hugged her as we both sat there and cried with Nestor and Rex’s bodies on the floor, their blood pooling around us. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Rosie.” I repeated, again and again. I don’t know how long we sat there, crying and me asking for her forgiveness. I felt like someone was squeezing my heart so tight, making it almost impossible to breathe. If not for the warmth of her body as she hugged me tight, I would’ve gladly wanted death to take me too. But I couldn’t leave her. I needed to protect her, especially now that Rex was truly dead. “Gareth? Please take me out of here.” “Okay, Rosie. Hold on.” I got up firs
Ivyrose’s POV I tried calling a million times today again, but Hailey and Hudson's phone only kept ringing. My heart pounded in my ears wondering if anything happened to the three of them. "It's been two days since we last talked, mom. All I know is I woke up Christmas morning and I was alone. Only a voice message from Gareth that he has to go away for two days with the padrino and he asked me to stay here and to trust him. Shit. I hate not knowing. You know me, mom." "Oh honey, I'm sure they're just doing some couple soul searching therapy thingy. Leave them alone and stop worrying. You'll get wrinkles. And as for your husband, what can you do, but trust him, right?" she laughed and hung up the phone before I could even reply. In the background I heard a man's deep voice calling her sugarplum. I shook my head and threw my phone on the bed when my call to Gareth’s phone still went to voicemail. Something wasn't right. Hailey would never leave like that. I paced around our bedroom
Ricardo Sanguin’s POVVilla de Sanguin was once again filled with laughter because our little Harmony would not sit still. She and Seb were playing tag inside the living room, the old man was having the time of his life running after an almost two yr old you would never imagine him to be a stone cold killer.Ivyrose and Hailey were in the kitchen helping the cooks prepare our dinner. Hudson was sitting near the fireplace staring at it as if hypnotized by the dancing flames. “Dinner’s ready.” Ivyrose said, standing by the door. Harmony ran to her in panic because Seb was going to catch her. She stuck her tongue out at Seb the moment Ivyrose lifted her in her arms. Everyone, especially Harmony, laughed when Seb pretended to cry like a baby for losing tag against her. The five of us sat around our smaller round table and made small talk while eating the delicious homemade ham and chicken pasta. Ivyrose suddenly fell quiet and when I asked her what was wrong she just said, she missed h
Ivyrose's POV I put the two dozen outfits I picked out for Harmony on Hailey’s shopping cart. It was a beautiful Sunday on the day before Christmas, and we decided to spend our day off hanging out together. The three of them agreed to spend Christmas in our mansion instead of in their house in Staten Island. "Boss, that's too much. She's—." "Really still with the boss? Why do you keep forgetting we're partners with the flower shops now?" "I'm just used to calling you, boss. Feels weird to suddenly call you Ivy." "Rosie." "I thought only Gareth could call you that." "What? No. Only the people closest to me can." "Aww I love you, Rosie." Hailey said, hugging me tightly. “Thanks for spoiling that little critter of ours.” “Of course. I’m her fairy godmother, remember?” I said and we chuckled. "Besides you guys are my only family now that mom's so busy with her boy toys in Millan." I said and we chuckled. “Did she ever tell you what she and your dad fought about?” “Nope. Sh
