Ivery's POV.

As I sat there, transfixed by our gaze, a million thoughts flitted through my mind like fireflies at night.

I could feel my heart racing, each beat pulsing in your ears like a drumbeat. My senses were heightened, every detail of Franco's face was suddenly crystal clear.

The crease of his brow, the tilt of his lips, the glint in his eye. It was like time had slowed down, and we were both caught in a moment that felt like an eternity.

“Well, it's not only your mentor that has that color of eyes, even my dad had the same color of eyes,” I lied.

The words tumbled out of my mouth before I could even process what I was saying. The room seemed to spin around me, the air heavy with the weight of the confession.

I saw a shock ripple across Franco's face, and I knew I'd blown it. It felt like the floor had just given way beneath me, my stomach dropping like an elevator without brakes.

    Ivery's POV. My memories of the past loomed large, even though I had made peace with what had happened. But those experiences shaped me, and I couldn't deny their influence on the present.

    Ivery's POV. I rolled out of bed like a zombie, feeling like I hadn't slept a wink. But there was no time for snoozing – today was going to be a tough one. I grudgingly trudged through my morning routine, every step feeling like it was being weighed down by lead. “Come on brain, get with the program!” I groaned inwardly, willing myself to snap out of this haze.I speed-showered, threw on some clothes, and made a beeline for the door. I couldn't even think about breakfast – there just wasn't time. My kids were still snoozing, but I knew they'd be okay without me. I had more important things to do – like trying to stay awake at work!

    Ivery's POV. Just when I thought I was in for a showdown, Diva burst out laughing, catching me completely off guard. My confusion only seemed to fuel her amusement, and she doubled over with mirth, tears streaming down her face. I just stood there, frozen in place, my mouth hanging open like a bewildered fish. What on earth was so funny? And why did I suddenly feel like the butt of a cosmic joke? As if things couldn't get any weirder, Diva suddenly pulled out an engagement ring and slipped it onto her finger, her eyes never leaving mine. It was like a slap to the face, a silent “ha-ha” that sent my head spinning. Was this some kind of twisted power play? A show of dominance? Or was she just messing with me for kicks? I was so confused and hurt that I could barely process what was happening.“See who is here, Franco's bed warmer,” she said, in a mocking tune. “Franco… bed warmer…?” I whispered, repeating her words.

There, staring back at me, was a photo of Ivery, Franco, and a couple of kids. The picture was innocent enough, but the implication was clear: she was using Franco as leverage against me. My mind reeled, trying to process this new information and what it meant for the dynamic between us. This wasn't just a battle of wits anymore – this was personal.With a smug smirk on her face, she turned and sauntered towards the door, her words hanging in the air like a cloud of poison. “And just so you know, sweetheart, as long as Franco's running things around here, I'm untouchable.

    Ivery’s POV.“Ladies first,” he said with a sly smile. I nodded, taking a deep breath. I reached into my purse and pulled out my phone, my hands shaking slightly.
