Ivery's Pov

"You're now husband and wife!" The priest Franco called to bless our marriage, declared and placed our hands on top of each other.

I saw Franco smile at me and I returned the smile. I was excited as well as lucky. I didn't have to go through a lot before I got what I wanted. Finally my mother will be healthy and we'll live happily ever after the contract ends.

The certificate to prove that we were married to each other was brought forward and we were asked to sign on it. We both did and Franco thanked the priest as he took his leave. Of course, we were the only people aware of the marriage as Franco had said he needed it to be secret which was for the best. I also won't let anyone know I got married to him and divorced one month later. It was humiliating to me and I couldn't help but thank him for making everything easy for me.

"Let's have lunch together before we make our trip to the apartment," he told me.

"Yes, let's do that but I need to go to the hospital to pay for the surgery," I said after remembering I need to pay the bills as soon as possible so the surgery can be carried out.

Franco nodded and began to walk outside of the mansion. I walked behind him and continued to bow my head as his men wouldn't stop greeting me.

We got to his private car and he took the car key from his driver as we drove out of the mansion by ourselves. We headed straight to the hospital my mother was in and I got out immediately assuring him I will be right back. Now I've gotten to know who Franco was and why he needed the marriage to be a secret. Franco Milestone's father was one of the richest men in the country. He owns many companies and firms pertaining to real estate, automobiles, AI elements and lots more. Franco's father basically deals with electronics and he was well known for his successful business.

However, Franco was also popular and it wasn't easy for him to show up as a public figure. I was lucky to have met him. I was only going to spend one month knowing the son of a billionaire which as well was the best thing that had ever happened to me.

I took the elevator to my mother's ward and I saw her laying comfortably on the bed while the nurses were taking care of her. "Mom," I called and ran to her, receiving her into a family hug.

"Ivery baby, I've been waiting for you," she said with lots of sadness in her voice.

"I'm here now, Mom. I'm here to pay your bills," I replied and hugged her tightly.

"I'm happy to hear that from you, Ivery. I will finally have my surgery," she said and hugged me back. Mon doesn't know the amount of her surgery and didn't even know it was a heart disease since I made sure the doctor kept it from her. I wanted to keep her safe. If she got to know, she wouldn't be this happy.

"Hope you're taking your medication?" I requested and sat beside her, stroking her hair bit by bit.

"Yes, the nurses won't let me rest. Anyways, are you not going to work? I was expecting to see you later in the evening," Mom said without any knowledge I had quit my job. Yes, I had to. It was part of the contract agreement. Franco told me to keep my status for my good so he asked me to quit.

"I will go, Mom. I came to pay your bills and also to see you. I will take my leave now," I said and sprang up to leave. "Be healthy for me, mother. I will be back to check on you."

"Bye, sweetheart," she bid as I walked away to make the payment that Franco already transferred to me earlier in the day.

I entered Franco's car and he jerked his car immediately to start. "I need to get somewhere and you're coming with me," he uttered with a stern look and I knew immediately that something was wrong.

We didn't drive too long before we got to our destination. Franco drove his car to the parking lot and we both came down, hurrying into a construction company. On getting in, I saw a reporter standing in the entrance and as soon as they sighted us, they came running to us.

"Mr Milestone, you have finally brought your wife you talked about," the reporters asked and gathered in front of us while we struggled to pass through them. Franco looked back at me and gripped my hands, pulling me closer to himself. Just then, some group of men came running to where we were and started making way for us to pass. Yet, I still didn't understand what was going on. All I did was hurry inside after Franco.

"You're here, Mr Milestone," a woman in her late 60s I guess, asserted.

"This is my wife, Ivery Lycanster," Franco introduced, gazing largely at me.

"Wow, what a beauty! It's true you're married, Mr Milestone," the woman enunciated and Franco nodded his head before he shifted his gaze from me to the woman.

"Yes, I told you she went out of state now she's back. Can I sign the papers now?"

The woman chuckled and walked back to her desk then she pointed out that we took our seats. "Mr Milestone. If you have your marriage certificate here, we can hold a press conference," she stated and looked up at Franco. Everything was confusing and I needed an answer right immediately. Why would Franco lie about us getting married for long and I had just returned from the state? Why would the woman need our marriage certificate to hold a press conference? What was happening?

I looked up at Franco and saw him already gazing at me. "I heard the project will be transferred to someone else if I don't show you my wife today and here she is yet you need our marriage certificate?" He asked the woman with a frail look.

The woman then cleared her throat. "We have rules here. The marriage certificate is the only thing to confirm that you both are married before you can have the project," the woman uttered and I sighed, earning Franco gape at me again.

"Fine," Franco let out. "Call for the press conference and I will bring my wife along with our marriage certificate to announce to everyone that we're married."

His gaze searched every but softened when his gaze met his assistant. He walked towards her smiling, this was the first time I witnessed him smiling genuinely. “Thank you.” He muttered silently while collecting the marriage certificate. “You have to put out your best, we need to make them believe we are a thing. And I'm sure you know the consequences if otherwise happen,” he said gruffly. I nodded my head in response and put on a fake smile. We walked into the conference hall silently. He presented the marriage certificate to them, but to my surprise, I was shocked to see we have been married for five years. I looked at him with so much repulsion, how can he tell such a lie? I tried to question him but decided to let it wait because of the press conference. The press conference continued, and Franco was fielding questions from reporters. They were mos

    Ivery's POVWe averted our gaze to look at the source of the voice, a man walked swiftly over to us and I noticed my back on his hand, I couldn’t believe I left my bag in the conference hall. “You forgot your bag, Ma'am,” he said while handing over the bag, and I let out a breath of relief. “Thank you,” I replied with a smile on my face, the man nodded curtly and walked away. Franco and I walked towards the car and went inside, the chauffeur ignited the car engines, driving us back to the mansion. As the car pulled up to the mansion, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a beautiful, sprawling estate, with acres of grounds and a sparkling pool. The house itself was a grand, old-fashioned mansion, with stone columns and arched windows. I felt a little overwhelmed. This was a far cry from my modest apartment back home.“It's astonishing, isn't it?” Franco said bluntly, noticing my reaction. “You shouldn’t worry, you'll get used to it soon,” he said, smirking, and I can see pride in every

    Chapter seven. Ivery's POV. I woke up suddenly, my mind still fuzzy with sleep. As I became more aware of my surroundings. I quickly sat up, my heart racing, as the memories of the previous day came flooding back to me. The press conference, the argument with Franco. It was all too much to take in. I put my head in my hands, trying to make sense of it all.I lay in my bed again, trying to relax my mind, but I could not, as Franco's words were fresh in my head. I groaned tiredly. I stood up lazily as I stumbled to walk, I entered the bathroom to take my bath. In less than an hour I was through, and I opened my wardrobe to pick a creamy skirt that stopped at my knees and I wore a crop top that showed my cleavage a bit. I packed my hair, leaving two strands at the front, I was not the makeup type. I looked at myself one more time before stepping out of my room. Franco was standing at the coffee maker, preparing coffee for himself. His back view was facing me. “Good morning,” I gree

    Ivery's POV. I looked away, avoiding his gaze. " Yes, we have a deal," I replied in a low tune with a tinge of sadness, even though I don’t want to do this I have no choice but to agree to it. "That's good. Get prepared, your time starts now. Tick! Tock!" he sang as he walked out of the room. In less than thirty minutes, I was ready. My heart was pounding as I stood in front of the mirror, applying the last touch of makeup on my face. I have never worn this much makeup before. I was worried that I might look ridiculous. I turned to face the mirror, surveying my appearance. I was wearing a long black gown, a hat, and sunglasses. I barely recognized myself, I hoped that no one would recognize me either. As I stepped into the sitting room, I locked eyes with him. He scanned my body with his eyes, from my head to my toe, He smiled. "Perfect!" I heard him say. One could mistake it as a whisper. He grabbed his car key. Facing me he spoke," Let's go", he said, walking towards the door

    Ivery's POV. Franco's head snapped up as I approached, his eyes narrowing as he took in my expression. Our eyes met, and I felt a chill run down my spine as I saw the wariness in his eyes. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the worst. I walked toward Franco, my footsteps echoing in the empty hallway. My heart pounded in my chest as I tried to think of the right words. I could smell the faint scent of his breath. I cleared my throat, the sound reverberating off the walls. "Please," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I need your help. I need a maid for my mother. She needs someone to help her, and I don't know what else to do.""I can't grant you what you request," he said, with his gaze fixed on his lap. I could see the set of his shoulders, stiff and unyielding. He made no move to look at me, even though I was right in front of him. "Please," I begged, my voice cracking with emotion. "My mother needs someone to care for her, she's too weak to do it on her own." I tri

The sun shone through the window, as I stretched my arms above my head. I stood up and walked over to the Window, I pulled back the curtains, revealing a stunning view of the mountains, I stood there for a moment taking it all in. It was a beautiful sight. The warm sun caressed my skin as if to welcome me to a new day. The sunlight danced on the grass, creating a kaleidoscope of colors that filled my eyes with wonder. I closed my eyes and tilted my head up to the sky, letting the sun's rays bathe my face in warmth. The air was still and quiet, and I felt a sense of peace wash over me. It was as if the world had stopped for a moment, and I was the only person left. My stomach growled, demanding attention. I stepped outside my room after I had brushed my teeth. As I stepped out, the smells of pancakes and coffee filled my nostrils, I could hear the sizz

    Ivery's POV. I kissed his cheeks, which made him glanced at me baffled. “The paparazzi,” I whispered to him. He quickly understood the message, as he put his arms around my waist and returned the kiss. My breath hitched at his movement. The camera flashed at our faces, capturing the moment. The sound of camera shutters was relentless, clicking like an army of crickets. The flash of the paparazzi's cameras was blinding, and our feet seemed to pound the pavement like a drumbeat. I felt the hot breath of the crowd on the back of my neck, and the warmth of Franco's arm around my waist. I smelled the scent of the city, the exhaust from the cars, and the sweet smell of food from a nearby cart.We walked arm-in-arm, as we tried to push our way through the crowd of photographers, but they pressed in closer, snapping pictures at every turn.

    Ivery's POV. I felt a mix of emotions – comforted by his strength, yet uneasy at the sudden intimacy. We sat there, side by side, as we answered each question as best we could. "We are not planning on having kids now," Franco said. His words tumbled out of his mouth like a waterfall, rushing to get out before the timeout ran out. We got to our feet, keeping our composure as we made our way to the car. The reporters continued to shout questions at us, but we ignored them and kept walking. When we reached the car, we quickly got inside and shut the doors. As we closed the door behind us, I turned to face Franco. The silence felt heavy, like a blanket smothering us both. "What was that all about?" I asked, my voice trembling. But he raised a finger to his lips and hushed me. "Shh." His voice was barely a whisper. "The walls have ears." I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves.The rest of the journey passed in a tense, silent bubble. I gazed out the window, watching the lush

But then I heard a soft chuckle, and I opened my eyes to find Ivery's face inches from mine, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Looks like someone would rather not wake up,” she teased, snuggling closer to me. I couldn't help but smile, feeling the closeness of her body against mine.“Good morning, sunshine,” I said to her, my voice still thick with sleep. She smiled at me, and I felt my heart flutter. “Good morning, my love,” she replied, and I felt a surge of joy at hearing those words. I leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss, savoring the moment.Waking up next to Ivery every morning for the past year has been a blissful experience. I never thought I could feel so much happiness, so much joy, just from being in her presence. Every day, I count my blessings for having her in my life.

    Ivery’s POV.As I walked inside the room, I could hear voices and laughter coming from the living room. Franco was still attending to the guests, making sure everyone was comfortable and happy. I headed to the bathroom, closing the door behind me. The sound of the running water was soothing, and I took a moment to relax, enjoying the sensation of the warm water on my skin.I looked down at the ring on my finger, still in a bit of disbelief. I was married to Franco, the man of my dreams. It still seemed too good to be true. But the ring on my finger was a constant reminder of the love we shared, a symbol of our commitment to each other. I finished my shower, feeling refreshed and ready for the night.I stepped out of the bathroom, my hair still damp and tousled. I sat down at the dressing table, staring at my reflection in the mirror. I put on a silky black nightgown that clung to my curves. I ran my hands over the smooth fabric, feeling the coolness against my skin. It was simple, yet

    Ivery’s POV.One month later.I had heard so many stories about the bells ringing in the church on a wedding day, but I never thought I would get to experience it myself. I stood there, my heart racing, as the sound of the bells filled the air. It was a sound I would never forget, and it marked the beginning of a new life for me and my family. I stared at myself in the mirror, taking in the sight of the white wedding gown I was wearing. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, and I felt like I was in a dream. My hair was perfectly styled, and my makeup was flawless. I took a deep breath, trying to take it all in. Was this really happening? Was I really getting married? I looked at the door, waiting for the moment I would walk down the aisle.My mother, Cassy, and Owen, entered the room. "You look beautiful, my dear," my mother said, smiling at me.

    Ivery’s POV.There, in my hands, was the DNA test, the results undeniable. Franco was the father of my children. How had he found out? Why had he been so silent all this time? A million questions raced through my mind, but I knew I wouldn't get any answers until I confronted him. My heart was racing, and my hands were shaking. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. I had to be strong.As I tried to calm myself, I felt a bead of sweat roll down my forehead. My hands trembled, and the room suddenly felt stiflingly hot. I looked up and my eyes met Franco's. I quickly looked away, feeling like a deer caught in headlights. I had so many questions, and I knew he had answers. But I didn't know if I could face him right now, with everything I had just discovered.The silence was broken by a question from Franco. "How long did you plan on keeping this from me?" he asked, his voice low and calm. I didn't know what to say, so I remained silent. I looked at everything in the room but him

    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. I fumbled with the screen, unlocking it and opening the video gallery. There it was, the video of Diva in his penthouse trying to force him to sign the check. I held out the phone, my heart pounding in my chest.“Take a look,” I said, my voice trembling. He took the phone from me, a look of confusion on his face. He held it up to his eyes, staring at the screen. At first, he didn't seem to understand what he was looking at. Then, his eyes widened, his jaw dropping slightly. He looked up at me, his face pale. “What is this?” he asked, his voice barely a whisper. I took a deep breath, preparing to tell him everything. As I told him everything, I watched as his face twitched with anger. His brow furrowed, his jaw clenched. “How dare she try to do this,” he said, his voice filled with rage? “I need to deal with her.” His ha

    Ivery’s POV.Franco's behavior had been puzzling me for a while. He seemed to be acting differently, but I couldn't tell if I was just imagining things or if there was something actually going on. He had been spending more time with the kids, and sporadically they even slept over. Was I reading too much into it, or was there something more going on? I couldn't help but wonder if there was something I was missing, some hidden meaning that I just couldn't see.At first, I was afraid to let them sleep over. I didn't want them to accidentally spill the truth about me being their mother. But they had promised me that they wouldn't say anything, and I believed them. After all, they were mature for their age and I trusted them. Still, I couldn't help but worry about what would happen if they did accidentally reveal the truth. Would it ruin our relationship? Would everything fall apart?The truth felt like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment. I knew that the longer I kept it

We walked to the office, my heart pounding in my chest. I knew I was about to receive the biggest news of my life.The doctor closed the door, and I blurted out the question that had been burning in my mind. “Can you run a DNA test on Ivery?” I asked, my voice trembling. I knew it sounded foolish, but I needed to be certain. I needed to know the truth, regardless of what it was.“It's obvious that Ivery is the mother,” the doctor said. I nodded, my mind whirling with thoughts and questions. “When do you think the transplant was?” I asked, trying to put the pieces together. I wanted to understand what had happened, how I could be a father without even knowing it. I had to make sense of

    Franco’s POV.I stared at the report, my eyes scanning the words, but unable to make sense of it. The medical jargon was confusing and unfamiliar. I felt a sense of panic rising in my chest. “What's this?” I asked the doctor. “Your bone marrow matches with his,” he said, his voice calm and reassuring. But his words did nothing to ease my anxiety. I felt overwhelmed and confused.“How’s this possible?” I asked confused.“ Because you are the father of the child,” he said.I let out a sarcastic laugh. “How can I be the father of the child?” I asked incredulously. “Does this doctor understand how biology works?” My voice was tinged with anger and disbelief. It was impossible, I was sure of it. But the doctor looked at me calmly, and said, “I understand your skepticism, but there is no doubt that you are the father of this child. Your DNA matches perfectly.” I felt my world spinning, my mind reeling. How could this be?“Ivery told me that she wasn't the mother of the kids,” I said, my

When we arrived, the nurses rushed out to meet us, taking Caden from our arms and whisking him away to the emergency room. We were left standing there, the silence deafening.
