Chapter 45For a moment, Ivory forgot to breathe. She forgot to blink, she forgot to move. She stood, stunned, shocked. Her eyes brimming with tears enough to form a river. With each passing second, Arlo's voice replayed like a broken record. The TV had long been paused but she was still standing, looking at-- the news crested in her memory."So..." Detective Good's voice echoed, pulling her back to reality. "What were you saying about Arlo Covelli?" Ivory opened her mouth but the words didn't form- they couldn't."We would add theft to your charges but... The Sovrano hasn't reported the case formally.""If you hit these metal bars one more time pleading false innocence, I will make sure you do not get to Cadet Prison alive." Detective Good turned and walked away, the sound of his receding footsteps fell on Ivory's ears weighing on her heart. The man was almost gone. He was almost out of sight when Ivory managed to gather her voice."Arlo!" She muttered. The detective stopped,

Chapter 46Willis felt as though the world had tilted and the person in front of him was no longer the Arlo he knew. He was no longer the man that had been his best friend for twenty-eight years. He was now a monster. A cold-hearted monster that was well on his way to doom and there was no going back.His gaze remained on him, unwavering, unrelenting, taking in his features. If he was sad, it didn’t show on his features. But was it possible that he wasn’t sad? Was it normal? To have betrayed a woman he was probably in love with and not feel anything. Did he regret it? Did he mean his words? Could he really not save Ivory? “What happened to you, man?“ Willis blurted out, his voice crashing into a sob. Arlo swallowed hard, fighting with every fiber in him to remain strong.“Don’t you feel anything for this girl?” Willis's low sobs continued, “She’s… she’s not guilty. I can help you. Together we can… we can free Ivory”“Don’t you owe her that much? You brought this on her, don’t you f

The black van, —you know the one that looks like a bullion van but for prisoners— came to a halt. The police officers hopped out, heavy on duty, loaded with gun. Ivory was still trying to accept her reality. She was still trying to accept that she had gone from being Ivory to being called ‘the suspect’.She was yet to accept the fact that Arlo had really said those words and sentenced her to death. This, to her, was death.She was slowly dying. Every passing moment was bringing her one step closer to her death.“Pick up the pace!” The officer’s voice bolted her out of her thoughts.She snapped up her gaze and came in contact with a familiar face. Ivory paused. Her heart leaped. I was wrong, she thought. He’d never betray me.Ivory’s adrenaline surged, picking up the pace as the officer had demanded. The cuffs in her hands and legs did not stop her. She was too happy to care. She stopped before Willis. Her eyes sparkling with both hope and relief. “What took you guys so long?!”

She didn’t die. She cried herself to sleep every night, woke up with headaches. Couldn’t find the appetite to eat the watery food served in prison. Her cell was too small, barely having any light, barely having any hope. She survived the first week of her time in prison, sought for death but didn’t die.She suffered long days of hard labor, panic attacks that seemed to stop her breathing for what seemed like eternity, aching heart, and everything in between, still she didn’t die.On the Friday of her second week in Cadet prison. Ivory had woken feeling exceptionally down, she couldn’t barely drag herself off the flat mattress.Her eyes refused to open after she blinked. Her body felt disjointed. It seemed her body had finally received the message that her mind had been sending. Ivory sighed weakly, accepting the death that seemed to be knocking on her door. “What a beautiful day to die,” she muttered under her breath as her body gave up.The prison warden tasked with supervising th

The Billionaire’s Wrong Pet The night everything fell apart
Ivory’s POV My husband was working late again. He had been working late every day for the last six months.And some days he wouldn’t even come home. For every night I woke up alone, every business trip, and every impromptu weekend meeting, I repeated one line to myself like a mantra— “Damian loves working, and he loves me.” With that, I turned a blind eye to all his excuses, the ones that made sense and the ones that didn't. I endured them all. I never confronted him, never asked for more. It was another late night, and I thought to bring him some dinner. I shouldn’t have bothered. I should’ve stayed home, at least, I wouldn’t have to watch my husband thrust into another woman like a sex-starved wild animal. He seemed to be enjoying himself so much that he didn't notice me standing there, he didn't even care that he was fucking another woman with our wedding ring on his finger. Tears rushed to my eyes, blurring my sight. I wiped them away quickly and turned to walk away, but
The Billionaire’s Wrong Pet The scene from a page of a mafia novel
Ivory’s POV The blindfold dropped and I came face to face with a man glaring at me like a wounded lion. His eyes were a darkened shade of midnight blue, cold and analytical, with an intensity that seemed to pierce through my very soul. His face was all sharp angles- chiselled jawline, highcheekbones, and a hint of stubbles scattered across his chin. He had a charming face that would sweep anyone away under the right circumstances. But right now,the dangerous aura hovering around him had my heart racing uncontrollably. As if he could smell my fear, his lips curled into a slight, predatory smirk. "Did you really think you could hide from me?" He said in a low, steel voice that sent chills down my spine. "No one hides from me, Lori, no one..." "Lori?" I muttered silently, tilting my head in confusion. "What's going on?" My name is Ivory, I wanted to say but did I really need to correct my brooding captor? "Where's my money?" He demanded, his voice rising."Look, if Camille and
