Mission: Hot Red Dress

IVORY’s POV

I could barely taste the food, but at least one of us was having a good time.

The drive back home was silent, and weighing on me heavier than I expected.

As the day progressed, my breathe grew even narrower.

What if I got caught and I really didn't come back alive?

Would anyone mourn my death? Knowing the answer to that question made this mission even harder.

But I had to give it a try and I swear, I wouldn't look back when I finally gained my freedom out of this beautiful hellhole.

As the sun began to set, I became more and more determined to come out successful.

I stood in front of my mirror, scanning my reflection.

"There's nothing you can't do, Ivory. You can do it!"

On the other hand, scary man had a refined taste in clothes.

I wore a deep, striking red dress that clung to my curves.

The sides were bare, giving a seducing view of my boobs. It was meant to draw attention and turn heads when I arrived at the party.

I took a deep breath and adjusted the silver bracelet on my wrist.

Willis stopped when I stepped out of the room. His eyes filled with warmth as his gaze hovered on my body.

Together, we went over to where the squad was gathered.

As scary man addressed me with the dos and don’ts for the umpteenth time, Willis kept darting his eyes in my direction.

Unease crept into my mind as I stood there wondering why he had his eyes on me.

After scary man was done, Willis whispered in his ears, before approaching me.

"I don't think you'll come out alive," he said,

his voice low and smooth.

"That helps a lot, thank you," I replied, my tone

dripping with both sarcasm and apprehension.

Willis smiled wryly, and continued, "But at least, this wristwatch will let us know where to pick up your dead body."

I took the watch from him, trying to ignore the shiver that ran through me.

Slowly, I approached scary man and spoke.

"You promise, after this one time, I'm free of the said debts?"

He watched as I walked towards the car and I swear, as the door came shut, I saw concern in his eyes.

The party was held in a sprawling mansion in the outskirts of the city, a place that smelled wealth and power.

As I arrived, the valet held my door open and I stepped out, my high heels clicking against the marble floor.

Once I stepped in, I recognized all the faces Willis had made me memorize.

"Faces recognized," I muttered with gritted teeth,

"But how do I befriend a bunch of wealthy drunk old men?"

I exhaled softly and willed myself to be focused.

Swaying to the soft music playing in the background, I mingled through the crowd with the most charming smile I could muster.

It didn't take long before I was noticed.

A senior border officer approached me with a glass of salt rimmed cocktail, introducing himself as Sean.

"Hey you..." He gnarled in a way I suppose he

meant to flirt.

I tucked my disgust away and smiled along. He wasn't on my list but it was good to start from somewhere.

Our conversations went from mundane nonsense to disgusting flirty rubbish. Still, I maintained my smile.

"I like you, Yvette, let me introduce you to a few friends and then we can ditch this party. What do you say?"

"Yes, yes," I smiled, "Let's do that."

Fingers intertwined with the sweaty drunk man; we were standing before a man named Ambassador Albert, a man whose profile was stored in my brain, thanks to Willis.

"Have you met my friend, Ambassador? She's a big fan."

"A fan?" Ambassador Albert scoffed, "What am I, a musician?"

"No Sir,” I replied quickly. “But your family is one of the few families who fought for the retention of our borders in the early 70s, and not only that, you fought for women to be equally protected by this Nation's fundamental human rights.

In my opinion you're more than a musician, you are a hero, and a legend."

Ambassador Albert's hardened gaze gradually softened into a smile as he rose towards me.

I bowed politely to show my most humble respect and that did the work.

I was passed from Officer Sean to Ambassador Albert.

"Do you... this might be too bold," I smiled,

tucking my hair behind my ear, "Do you want to please talk to me about how one man could accomplish so much?"

"Oh yea, yes," he said, completely lost in my

eyes.

What I didn't expect was Ambassador Albert's request to follow him to his hotel room. But I was yet to receive the main detail so I crossed my fingers and took a gulp before answering, "Honored."

Minutes turned to hours, as we cozied up in his hotel room.

He spoke about his past glory at length and I could feel my faux mask crumbling

by the second.

Mindlessly, I blurted out. "It's too bad that you're missing in action now when our country needs intelligent people to make tough

decisions about the border security. None of the leaders now have as much

experience as you."

Ambassador Albert paused, and in that one second, my heart sank to my stomach. Is this the moment I'll die? Did I slip up? Have I been

caught?

"Young woman," he began, his voice low and

serious. "You're smarter than your age."

I exhaled in relief.

"You know recently," He began.

At that moment, I knew I had won. This was the moment I was looking for. I turned on the recorder attached to my hair clutch and Ambassador Albert whispered just the secret I needed for my freedom.

My heart raced with both excitement and relief as I made my way to the exit after a long night.

Unexpectedly, my phone rang, startling the shit out of me.

It was an unrecognized number but I could guess who it was.

"What's the status?" Scary Man's voice echoed through the phone.

"Successful, sir." I answered triumphantly.

"Your location shows Sheraton Hotels. Stay right there, I'm coming to get you."

I glanced at the time displayed on my screen, 1:13am had to be my happiest time of this week.

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Pet   One Year Later

    One Year LaterThe sun broke through the clouds in Oviedo like a soft blessing, gilding the café terraces and cobbled sidewalks in gold. Outside the newest branch of Maison Ivoire, soft jazz played over the speakers, and pastel streamers fluttered gently from the courtyard pergola. It was a warm afternoon, and everything—everything—felt full of light.Inside, Ivory stood near the corner display, adjusting a mannequin’s collar though it had been fixed ten times already. Her second-trimester belly peeked slightly through the folds of her soft silk dress, her hair loose around her shoulders, cheeks flushed from greeting too many people with too many hugs.“You’re glowing,” Liv said, placing a glass of ginger lemonade into her hand. “You realize this is your day, right? You’re allowed to sit down and gloat a little.”Ivory laughed, pressing her free hand to her belly. “I’ll sit when I stop shaking.”Liv gave her a look. “You opened your second flagship. You’re married to a man who practic

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Pet   A new beginning

    The clinking of glasses faded into the shadows of candlelight. Wine bottles stood half-empty like relics from a war fought and survived. The evening had shed its nerves, and in its place was something warmer—quiet acceptance.Liv curled into the nook of Willis’s side, her fingers lazily tracing the hem of his shirt. Ivory had tucked her feet beneath her on the chair, half-laughing now at something Arlo had said. There was something easy in the air, like an old familiar song returning on a soft breeze.“Okay,” Liv said, voice mellow, “can we agree this whole thing feels like an episode of a K-drama?”“I’d be offended if it didn’t,” Arlo replied, stretching with a groan. “At least the budget would’ve been solid. All this tension? All this face?”Willis chuckled. “You do realize you’re not the romantic lead anymore, right?”“No, but I’m definitely the favorite,” Arlo quipped.“God, he hasn’t changed a bit,” Willis muttered to Liv.“Actually,” Liv said thoughtfully, “he has. You both have

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Pet   To the mess that brought us here

    Chapter 120Behind Willis, was a tiny feminine figure, with her curls tied in a messy bun. Her round eyes took in the overwhelmingly large house. “Are we late?” She whispered, stepping beside him.Arlo and Ivory exchanged glances. Then as if they suddenly remembered they were other guests, they invited them in with a smile— awkward and nervous, however genuine. “Thank you for coming,” Arlo whispered in his ear. “I thought Marvin would miss me.” “He did. But unfortunately, he’s asleep somewhere under that table.”Willis chuckled softly. “I’ll stay until he is awake then.” He replied.One by one the guests were gone until the house was quiet again. Balloons sagged against the chandelier, ribbons curled on the floor like lazy dancers. The only sound now was Claudio Constantini’s strings playing in the corner of the house away from the humming silence in the dining room.Ivory sat barefoot at the head of the table, wine glass between her hands. The warmth of the evening lingered in h

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Pet   A Month after.

    A Month after. Ivory woke to a house that didn’t feel like it was holding its breath.Sunlight streamed through pale linen curtains, warm and welcoming. Somewhere in the distance, birds were arguing with squirrels, and someone—probably the butler—was humming off-key to himself. The air carried no tension, no sense of urgency. Just… ease.She rubbed her eyes, stretched, and padded barefoot down the hall. Her robe hung loose around her as she moved, hair still mussed from sleep. She expected to find Arlo and Marvin at the breakfast table—maybe scrambled eggs and too much juice, maybe a quiet morning with a crossword puzzle half-solved and a warm cup of coffee waiting.What she didn’t expect—Was noise. Laughter. The low hum of conversations and music. Voices she didn’t recognize.She turned the corner—and froze.The dining room, the hallway, the entire open floor plan had been transformed. Balloons floated from every corner, soft gold and ivory tones. Flowers—fresh, wild, sun-drenched—

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Pet   Mini you

    There was something strange about returning to Oviedo.Ivory felt it the moment they crossed the county line—the way the wind shifted, softer somehow, the way the sky looked flatter, more forgiving. The roads curved like they were remembering her. But nothing else did.The house was still white with olive-green shutters, still hidden behind an overgrown fence and a rusted gate Arlo never bothered to replace. But it was quieter now. No voices barking orders. No men in tailored suits leaning against blacked-out cars. No weapons tucked beneath armrests.Just birds. Just wind. Just… peace.Ivory stood on the porch longer than she meant to, Marvin’s small hand gripped in hers. The boy vibrated with curiosity, tugging toward the door like it held magic.“You used to live here?” he asked.She nodded. “Just before you were born...”Now? It was something else. Not better. Not worse. Just… changed.Inside, the air smelled different too. Less like cigar smoke and steel polish, more like laundry

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Pet   Under the cactus pot

    Willis didn’t mean to go back that soon.He told himself he’d wait until Friday. Give it a few days. Let things settle. But the quiet in his apartment stretched too wide, and the idea of her—the chaos of her, the warmth—was louder than his self-control.So on Wednesday evening, just after dark, he found himself outside her door.He hadn’t even texted.The spare key was exactly where she said it would be, tucked beneath a tiny cactus in a blue ceramic pot. He hesitated only a second before using it.The apartment smelled like incense and lemon, soft and lived-in. Jazz was playing from a speaker in the kitchen—Coltrane, maybe. Something that meandered, low and longing.“Hey,” she called from down the hall, casual, like she’d known he’d show up. “You’re early.”Willis smiled to himself and slipped off his coat. “I’m always early. I just never show it.”Liv walked into his view in nothing but a robe and that lazy, dangerous smirk he was already addicted to. Her eyes dragged over him like
