IVY POV“You look beautiful dear.” Sylvia complimented from behind me as I stood in front of the big standing mirror in front of me.“Thank you,” I replied with a smile on my face, admiring myself too. The dress came in two days ago. Alejandro sent one of the maids to go get the dress for me for the charity event we’d both be attending today.Things have been going smoothly between the both of us lately. It’s like he’s back to being the same person I feel for. I didn’t question it, I simply went along with it, reminding myself that he wasn’t an ordinary man so feelings like that weren’t something he dealt with.He would come over to my room, we’d talk, and sometimes watch films together, mostly my preference which was surprising because we’d never watched a film together before.He would watch and most times, he was staring at me and not watching. Whenever I asked him why he wasn’t watching, he'd tell me that he preferred watching me.We would kiss every night before he left. Every n

ALEJANDRO LEONE POV It's been a week and I got nothing so I concluded that I might have gotten it wrong. Iris does have feelings for me. I've come to accept it but what I haven't come to accept was what I felt for her and what I planned on doing with it.I didn't expect her to confess to me that night after dinner. I never would have thought that she was crushing on me before we even met. So just as I did my research on her, she also did hers and ended up crushing hard.For some reason, I have been thinking about that for a while and each time I did, a smile would form on my face, which was rare and funny because it wasn't me. I've been away on a business trip. I received an anonymous text that my uncle Marcos was planning to do shit to me and I've been trying to trail his track and to see what he's up to.So far I've been able to learn that he has visited the Silver family twice. I had no idea why but I've been looking into it. I never trusted the Silverd and when I finally allowed

THIRD PERSON POV"What do you mean by that? You mean the heartless Alejandro has a heart and is interested in my look-alike?" Iris was surprised to hear the news that her mother just told her about. "I cannot believe this. Are you sure about this mom?" Iris asked."I'm not stupid when I see a man that is interested in a woman. Maybe it might be an act but he acted so well that I doubt it. I feel something is going on that we don't know and that girl, I don't trust her. I've never liked her away." Iris thought deeply about her mom's words. She still found it hard to believe after her mom told them all that went down at Alejandro's mansion."If she's keeping anything then she'd be the one to lose because she has her mother with us so I doubt, maybe nothing is going on and it's all an act from him after all…" she trailed off when she thought of something."Oh my goodness!""What is it, Iris?" Carmen asked her daughter inquisitively. "I told you I met Brittany some weeks back.""And

THIRD PERSON POVAlejandro's frantic action didn't go unnoticed by the Silvers after Ivy cut herself and he was already tending to her cut with so much interest.Ivy herself wasn't expecting him to act up so quickly and that made her more worried than she already was because she already told Carmen Silver there was nothing much going on between them when there was something although it wasn't defined and was unstable."You should have been careful," Alejandro whispered to her.He also didn't think that he would have jumped off his seat that quickly after she cut herself just to see how it was. It was only later he realized what he had done, acting without thinking once again because of Iris Silver."Come with me," he said.He wanted to go tend to her wound so that it didn't get infected. She wished he hadn't done so because she didn't fail to notice the looks on the face of the Silver and she wondered if he did too.He did notice it and that's why he hated that he had shown signs that

IVY"Dinner?" I was surprised to hear Al mention dinner with Iris's parents.What was the sudden need to meet them and have dinner with them? I thought to myself and then I thought of how it would give me the perfect opportunity to ask Paul Silver about my mom. "Yes. It's just we are married and it feels like both families don't get along that's why. I just want us to spend time with each other that's just it. I'm also sure you missed them too, don't you?" I forced a smile to my face. "You are right.""Alright then. I'm going to leave you now. I have some business to attend. I will call your parents to inform them so that they know the invite is from me. Have a nice day." He caressed my cheek and just as I was about to lean into his touch, he pulled away. I suddenly missed his touch and I haven't failed to notice the distance between us. He's always having something to do. At first, I thought that it was because he's business but lately, I'm starting to doubt that. I'm beginning

THIRD PERSON POV"I knew he was sneaky but I didn't know that he would do that openly and we'd be too blind to see it." Lorenzo Silver said to his brother who had just informed them of the snake amongst them."He will regret ever thinking he could trespass us. He wouldn't have had the chance if Iris was smart enough with her love life and worse she got herself pregnant with his baby," Lorenzo complained bitterly.Now that he knew that Marcos was the snake, he was angry because not only did he have to get rid of him but also the father of his soon-to-be grandchild."We will have to make sure he regrets this. We must get rid of him. We cannot keep him. That's why he chose to help because he was the one who had stolen from us but the question now is how did he come to bear on our conversation? It's not possible he overheard us when the door is always locked and it's soundproof." Paul Silver asked."That's it. He couldn't have been in the room at that time because the key to the room is w
