“Do you really want my uncle to know you were my bitch?” he continued. “I mean, not just my bitch, but you’re still willing to go back on your knees to call me daddy again, huh?”“How does that sound if it comes out, and everyone in that room knows of our little secret?”Ivy stood inches away from him, seemingly dumbfounded at what he was saying, while he enjoyed seeing that confused and shocked look marring her features. Her jaw almost dropped open at his words.Once he was done talking, the room fell into a heavy silence, as if everyone was holding their breath in collective surprise. Ivy was trying to figure out a way out of it; firstly, she knew she couldn't tell Damian that his supposed cousin and hand-picked donor was her ex-boyfriend.She walked away from Leon, shaking her head as she muttered, “No, I can't tell him that. I can't tell him that!”Leon suddenly burst out laughing. “What are you thinking about? There’s nothing to think about, Ivy. You can’t tell Damian that I was

With that, everyone left the sitting room, leaving just Madam Victoria and her grandson. As Ivy walked out, she scrutinized Damian. Rather than everyone concluding that he cleared the room because it was a private matter, he didn't really want everyone to know about his family's empire.But for Ivy, she could easily see his insecurities crawling all over his skin. She could tell that was the most important reason he cleared the room. He didn't want everyone to hear Madam Victoria spell out his flaws to their faces, especially Ivy's.Walking through the hallway, she slowed down her steps, hoping to hear any arguments or sentences, but she didn't hear anything. Meanwhile, Leon was in front of her, slowing down his own steps just to catch up with her.He turned around, realizing she was trying to eavesdrop, and remarked, “Don’t be dumb, Ivy; it’s soundproof. You won’t hear anything.”She defended herself. “What? What makes you think I’m trying to eavesdrop, huh?”He smiled. “I know you t

However, when Damian reached his room, he began to pace around his large living room with Lucas, who stood inches away from the door. Knowing how manipulative Madam Victoria can be, he realized she must have rubbed salt in his wounds and told him how much less of a man he was to her.“Sir, I think you should calm down. It's late; you need to go to sleep,” Lucas urged, hoping Damian would listen to him this one time.Damian's face was red with rage, his eyes bulging as he paced back and forth in front of Lucas. "She said I'll never have a baby! She said I'm not a real man! She's always doing this, always making me feel like I'm not good enough!" He clenched his fists and spun around, his eyes blazing with anger.“I pleaded with her! I told her the doctor said this is going to work! He said it will work and he is seeing changes, but she is not willing to let me speak!”Lucas took a step forward, his hands outstretched in a calming gesture. "Sir, please, you need to calm down. It's late,

Ivy quickly followed Mrs. Joy, and the next minute, they had smuggled her inside Damian's room. When she entered, she saw him lying on the floor, still arguing with Lucas. But once he saw her, he quickly fixed his gaze on her and didn’t say another word.With an authoritative tone, she said, “Y’all can go to your rooms now. I'll take it from here until tomorrow morning.”Lucas and Mrs. Joy exchanged confused glances. Lucas didn’t like the idea of leaving Ivy alone with Damian; sometimes he could become very violent. He declined, “No, Ivy, we can’t leave you inside alone. We will stay right here with you until you’re done!”Ivy breathed in, trying not to flare up. She was both sleepy and tired at the same time. She scrutinized Damian for a moment and could see the yearning in his eyes. The words she had overheard began to replay in her mind. She still couldn’t believe that Madam Victoria had tried to kill her son’s self-confidence—and sadly, it didn’t seem like a new thing. It was regu

Some minutes later, Madam Victoria was seated on the plush couch in her living room. A soft knock came at the door before it slightly opened, and Lucas made his way inside."Good morning, ma'am," he greeted. "You asked for me, ma'am?""Yes, I did ask for you, Lucas!" She smiled before turning to the maids in the room. "Can I have a minute with Lucas, please?"Lucas's interest piqued as he watched the others leave, leaving just him with Victoria. Knowing her, he sensed he was in for a rude awakening since she had decided to clear the room.She stood up from the couch and slowly set her cup of coffee down.Madam Victoria's smile was deceiving as she gestured for Lucas to approach her. As he drew nearer, she suddenly turned and slapped him twice, her rings stinging his cheeks. Lucas's eyes widened in shock, his mind racing to comprehend what had just happened."What happened last night, Lucas?" she demanded. Lucas's eyes darted around the room, ensuring they were indeed alone before resp
