The sun had began setting, bathing the sky with a beautiful glow of purple and orange. In front of her, the fire crackled, shooting vague sparks as it’s light had already began dying out.With her arms wrapped around her knees, Ivory tried ignoring the tiredness that was creeping in. From time to time, her eyes would flutter close, before snapping back open, determined to stay awake, hoping that any moment from now, someone would have noticed their absence and began searching for them, and find their location, rescuing them.But the longer she stared at the sky, the darker the purple shade became and the further away the hope of being rescued, was.“You’re tired,” It wasn’t a question, but a statement. “You should sleep, I’ll keep watch.” Gadreel offered.Ivory’s response was a simple shake of her head. “No, I want to stay awake. I need to…” She paused, covering her mouth as a yawn interrupted her. “To…make sure…”“You’ll be more alert in the morning, for now, you need to rest, save y

The kiss was long and passionate, and when they broke apart, their gazes locked.Ivory saw the look in his eyes, and for some reason, it made her feel a little self conscious, especially when her hands automatically moved to cover her exposed skin.Gadreel saw the action, and his expression softened. Reaching down, he gently held her wrist and pulled her hands away, revealing her naked torso, the only thing hiding her were the straps of her bra."Don't hide," He said, his eyes never leaving her body as he leaned down and planted a soft kiss on her collar bone."You're beautiful,"Ivory didn't say anything. Her lips were pressed together and she remained silent, watching him as he showered her chest with gentle kisses.His hands roamed her sides, before resting on her hips. Slowly, he pulled the jean skirt down, along with her underwear.Now, the only thing she was wearing was her bra.Gadreel pulled his lips away and looked down at her. Their eyes locked, and for a brief second, he wo

The moment the speedboat arrived at the shores of the island, Ivory was surprised to see that the first person that jumped out was Lucien.“Ivory!” He rushed towards her, sounding relieved and worried at the same time, as he pulled her into a tight hug, totally ignoring Gadreel who stood beside her.“Lucien,” Ivory breathed out, relief washing over her, and she returned the hug. Only pulling away when she felt like the hug had last long enough.“How…how are you here? How did you find me?” She asked.Lucien’s answer was a bit delayed. It was only after a few seconds that Ivory realized he had been glaring in Gadreel’s direction.Gadreel himself, looked unfazed by the glare Lucien was giving him and even gave her a curt nod, when she looked in his direction, before he turned back to continue his conversation with part of the rescue team.“Lucien,” She called sharply, bringing his attention back to her. “How did you find me?”Lucien’s gaze lingered on her face for a short while, then dro

Luminary annual ceremony rolled around faster than Ivory had planned. By the time she had been discharged from the hospital, found an attire for the theme and got everything done, the day was nearly over, and the night, had descended.“You look wonderful, Ivory.”Turning her head to the side, her eyes landed on Lucien who stood by the door, dressed in a black suit with his dark hair neatly combed back.His eyes scanned her appearance for a bit longer and the smile on his lips dipped ever so slightly. “Too beautiful, if I must say. There’s no doubt a lot of men will have their eyes on you.”Ivory couldn’t help but smile. “Flattery will get you nowhere, Lucien.” She said, turning back to the mirror, and examining her appearance once more.She was wearing a light red spaghetti handle, floor length gown, with a long slit that stopped a bit above her knees. On her shoulder, a courtesy of what Lucien had go

All eyes were on her as soon as she and Lucien stepped into the event room of Luminary’s annual ceremony and Ivory couldn’t help but rethink her choice of being here.“Unnerving, isn’t it,” Lucien said in a low tone from beside her.She nodded. “A bit so, yeah.”“Well, you have to brace yourself, because after tonight, everyone’s going to know that you’re Arnett.”Ivory’s head snapped in his direction as fast as it possibly could and she stared at him with wide eyes.“What…what do you mean by that?”Pointing towards the huge projector screen on the stage in front, where several shaded out circles, along with the code names of Luminary’s best students were, he explained.“Spoke with Mrs. Blythe a while back. She said it was some sort of promotional event for the Accord, revealing that the top students of Luminary Accord turned out to
