Fletcher- rival and friend

Arlo’s POV“Very well then,” she retorted, storming over to the contract on the table. As she penned down her name, it suddenly hit me, this was beyond the contract, beyond our past, it was a new phase— we were officially married. The corners of my mouth curved into a smile, and I was left stunned, wondering why I was feeling happy about this. Her voice snapped me back to reality, soft yet tainted with disappointment. “Goodnight” she said. My brows furrowed, a mix of confusion and irritation rising within me.“What you signed is a marriage certificate, Lori, pack up your bags, you’re moving to my room.”Lori gasped, her lips parted in surprise. “Another argument?” I cut in before she could speak, “Is that another argument you want to start?” She swallowed, looking away, her shoulders slumped in defeat.I watched her pack, slowly and reluctantly, one dress after another, until she was done. Together, we moved to my room. “You can take a bathe, while I get you something to eat.”

Not a princess in the 70s

Ivory’s POV“My name is Ivory Hollis. I am twenty four years old. I graduated SNU top of my class, turned down a job offer as a production manager in one of the biggest companies in my town, married a cheat, got divorced, kidnapped in the same day, got mistaken for someone else, then got married to Arlo Covelli, and now avoided by Arlo Covelli.”“Isn’t it the other way around?” Willis spoke, his eyes glinting with amusement. “Aren’t you the one avoiding him?”“Willis, none of this is funny. Look at my profile, there’s nothing interesting about it.”“I beg to differ, you got divorced and remarried a few days later. That’s interesting to me.”“Stop, Willis. I’m serious. I’m slowly losing my mind. I can’t just sleep, eat, wake up on repeat like a baby. I need a job. Please talk to him.““Huh,” Willis sighed softly, finally raising his gaze to meet mine. “If I dare say this to Arlo Covelli,— that his wife demands a job outside being his wife— I don’t think I’ll live to tell you the feedb

I’m setting us both free

Arlo’s POVThe sight of her— torn, fragile with tears staining her cheeks made me feel like a monster. Was this because we hadn’t spoken in five days? She was just talking with Willis, what went wrong. I wanted to wipe her tears all away, take her in my arms and comfort her until she was better. But that seemed like the last thing she wanted. She begged me to let her go, her voice so small and broken that it gripped my heart, squeezing it cruelly.“We talked about this, Lori..”“Stop calling me that! I am not Lori. My name is Ivory.” She said, breaking down now. “I am taking blows and jabs for a crime I didn’t commit and you say you can’t let me go? This is illegal, you know that?”“You signed a contract that says you agree to being here.”“Well, I take it back!” Her voice louder now. “I take it back, I don’t want to do it anymore. Please, please, Arlo, I’m not her.”I swallowed hard, my heart trembling in my chest. “I told you, I can’t just let you walk away, Lori.”“It’s Ivory!”

A 70s Druglord

Ivory’s POVThe words came out. They were too good to be true.“I’m free to go?” I repeated, eyes widened in surprise and excitement.Willis nodded, his expression was hardened yet his eyes held the sincerity of his words.“Can I really go?” I asked again, just to be sure.“Yes, you’re free to go.” Willis confirmed. With that, he slid a few documents across the breakfast table toward me. I picked them up, brows furrowed with concern.“What’s this?”“Your marriage annulment. The Sovrano doesn’t want anything holding you back.”Sovrano. “He sent you to annul our marriage? That’s how much I’m worth to him? Nothing.”Willis let out a deep breath, and handed me a pen, “Sign the papers, ma’am” he said gruffly.“Okay that’s it!” I snapped, tossing the pen across the table. “You’ve been rude to me all morning. What did I do to you, Willis? I thought we were friends.”“We aren’t friends, ma’am. You’re my boss’s ex-wife.”“Ex-wife? Ex-wife?” I repeated, frustration building on my insides. “Ho

I want my man back

Ivory’s POVWhatever Willis meant by that, I knew it wasn’t good. Not only did it mean Julian was in trouble, it also meant she would hate me even more—they all would.“Quit smirking,” I snapped at Willis, jolting to my feet as I hurried toward Arlo.His steps were brisk, by the time I caught up with him, I was breath hard, my mouth open to suck in air.“Arlo” I called out. He stopped and turned.“Wait in the car.” He ordered, turning his back on me. “No, wait.” I interjected. “Get in the car, Ivory!” He roared, his voice crackling like a thunder through a storm. I recoiled, taking a step back as if his voice had struck me physically. I stepped backward, eyes widened. It took a moment for me to realize what he had said. He called me Ivory. “Wait, what?!” I blurted out, my lips broadening in a smile wider than I could control.Willis came to view and I went to his side at once.“He called me Ivory! He called me Ivory!” I sang unable to contain my excitement.Willis didn’t look as

Friends with benefit

Arlo's POVStaggering through the hallway, Willis's grip on my arm too strong to shake off, we reached the room formerly occupied by Ivory and plonked onto the bed.I traced my fingers over the cold, empty bed, a the hollow ache stabbing my chest deeper than usual. "I want to see her." I mumbled. "Get some rest, Arlo. You can't go to her like this. What if you make a mistake." Willis pleaded, his expression altered by concern. I nodded, he was right. As always, he was the voice of reason. I pulled the sheets over my shoulders, turning my back to him. As he walked out of the room, putting off the light. My phone screen lit up and I reluctantly reached for it. The text message that greeted me was one I didn't quite expect. It was one I thought impossible. "You looked so good today, I want my man back." I knew, even without seeing the name, which had sent it.As if that wasn't enough, my phone buzzed with Fletcher's call. As I answered it, my assumption was confirmed."Ivory Hol

I am your woman

Ivory’s POV“What are you doing, Ivory?!” The voice in my head kept ringing, tugging at my common sense. It was the sensible part of me, the one that knew that I should get out of this mess right before it started. But as Arlo stood, holding the car door open, his smile charming and effortlessly gorgeous, I felt caution slipping through my hands like sand.“Shall I hold your hand too?” His voice echoed in my thoughts, bringing back to the present.“I’m alright,” I returned the smile, masking my fluttering heart. “I can get down on my own.”“Stars gaze Cafe?” I read the sign aloud, frowning at the obvious mistake. “Shouldn’t it be Stargaze?” Arlo glanced at me with a smug on his face. “We’re just getting breakfast, Ivory. Does the name matter?”“It is important for their business. I studied Business Management and Marketing Strategies for four years. I know a bad call when I see one.”Before I could say anything else, the security guards pulled the door open for us. As we stepped in

A wimpy little girl

Ivory’s POV My blood ran cold. Anger surged within. Wait, it was frustration. Frustration that what she said was the truth, it sounded so bitter I nearly gagged. I glanced at Arlo and he was lost in her eyes. I could clearly see the difference between Lori and I. She was assertive. She was bold. I, on the other hand, was as soft as a morsel of dough. I swallowed hard, the scene before me twisting my stomach. I was standing right next to him, yet we felt so far apart. His eyes were lost on Lori, his expression an open declaration of the excitement he was desperately trying to hide. I looked away, unable to watch. “If you’ll excuse me,” I said, breaking the formidable silence in the air, “I need some rest.” “Arlo, you surprise me.” Lori’s voice held me back, “Where did you find my knock-off?” She sneered, her voice laced with mockery as she turned toward me. “I thought she was you…” Arlo explained, his cold tone gradually shifting to a softer tone. One h

Ivory’s POVWith that resolve came a newfound confidence: I would fight for our chance of affection, no matter how small.As our lips parted, I felt a rush of determination as if the kiss had cemented my decision. "Are you sure about this?" I finally regained my voice, searching his eyes for a reaffirmation that he meant his words. "Yes, Ivory. I can learn to love you."My heart swelled with excitement. This wasn't a Damian and Camille situation. This time, I won! When Arlo smiled back at me, I realized nothing else could have topped this moment of excitement. Not even a million dollars.Overwhelmed with excitement, I stood on my toes, and aimed for another kiss but Arlo turned away and my lips brushed his cheek instead.My smile faltered a bit, but I refused to let it show. I would make him look at me, I was determined.The day blurred by as I sat by the dressing mirror, deep in thought about the ways I could be better for him.Suddenly, a thought struck me.

God answered

Ivory’s PovI grabbed the stranger's hand, and he followed me. "Careful," he said, "Don't trip." Something about that sounded funny and I let out a soft laughter. I didn't realize how drunk I was— too drunk to walk without staggering. "Okay, let's stop and think for a moment." Alec said"What's there to think about?" I asked, "Don't you wanna make a baby?""Oh, I want to.” He replied with a smirk, “I just don't think we can make it to bed if you trip and fall." "I can walk just fine, look." Letting go of his hand, I took a few unsteady steps, trying to prove him wrong. But before I could get far, I lost balance, falling backward— straight into Alec’s arms.He laughed. "I can't help it, are you always this cute?""I'm embarrassing," I replied, the weight of my reality crashing back into my mind."I'm weak, and shy, and vulnerable, and embarrassing..." Before I could finish, I felt a hand on my arm, tight and firm, yanking me away from Alec. I snapped my gaze up to find Arlo sta
