Chapter 10

Ivy

I felt so sick today that I couldn't leave bed, at first I thought it was just some tummy upset and I'll be fine but then it became worse and I got so sick.

Mrs Smith wasn't home today, she went back to her family for the weekend and so I had no one to talk to about it, and I was too scared to tell Luther, I don't know why.

Plus I didn't know if he was back from where he went to the other time.

My eyes were spinning, I could barely even breathe, and I felt like I was going to throw up, I stayed in my bed all day and whimpered.

I picked up my phone to call Allison, she was the only person I could think of calling at this point, she's the only person I know.

It rang twice before she picked.

"Hey Ivy? I haven't heard from you, I'm so sorry I haven't reached out, I've been -"

"Allison", I whimpered.

She paused, "Ivy are you okay?? what's going on??"

"I feel... I feel sick in my stomach..I... I..."

"Where's Luther? can't anyone help you there??", she asked sounding so worried.

"I don't think he's at home", I said trying not to cry, I could barely even talk, I had suddenly become very very feverish.

"Oh my God, what am I going to do ?? are they even going to let me in?? okay okay you know what Ivy, I'll be there shortly, I'm coming okay? just hang in there", she said and cut the call.

I started crying softly.

I shouldn't be keeping this baby, I should have just ended things when I had the chance to, carrying a baby is one of the hardest things in the world.

What is going on with my life? why is... why is everything so different now.

Some months ago, I was an accountant working my ass out for a good salary to pay my bills comfortably and just have a simple easy life, now I'm a pregnant woman living in the shadows of a rich billionaire with my life on the line , fear, anxiety and no happiness.

You know in the beginning I thought that maybe this might not be so bad, just be the baby mama of a billionaire, your life will be a lot easier, especially since Luther was a really great guy, but there's nothing interesting there. It's the opposite of everything I imagined including Luther, the man I met at the club that day Is entirely different from this person I'm seeing.

My man was fun and filled with life and love, this man doesn't give a shit about the world, he's known as Don Danger, honestly that is so scary to think of, he's tho darker version of the man I met.

Everything is so different now.

Exactly 30 minutes later, my door flew open and it wasn't Allison, in fact I'd be surprised to see her and ask how she got pass the security.

It was Luther.

"Holy shit, Ivy??", he said sounding like he was panicking.

Ben walked in, "Shit", he mumbled.

"Let the girl in", Luther said and he came to the bed And tried to lift me up.

"Are you okay?" he asked me.

"I..I...", then I suddenly felt my stomach come up to my throat, I jumped out of his hands and raced to the bathroom and threw my guts up.

To my greatest surprise, he came behind me and held my hair.

"Hey, it's okay, just take it easy", he said rubbing my back.

This is the sweetest and most embarrassing moment of my life.

After about five minutes I was done and I washed up, he helped me to the bed and laid me there throwing a blanket over me.

"Why didn't you tell me you weren't okay?", he asked.

"I'm sorry, I was scared", I whimpered.

"Scared? Ivy c'mon scared of what?".

"I was ... I don't know", I said almost crying again.

He rubbed my back

"It's okay, it's okay, but there's nothing to be scared of Ivy, you can talk to me, you're not well, imagine if your friend didn't come make a scene, we would have never known, imagine something happened to you, don't do that again. You're carrying my baby, you're my responsibility. If you need anything, if you want anything just tell me, okay?".

He sounded so nice.

I nodded.

My door opened again and it was Allison with Ben.

I suddenly lit up, I haven't seen her in a while.

She came to the bed and sat down beside me, Luther suddenly stood up.

"Hey, are you okay?", she asked rubbing my cheek.

I shook my head negatively.

She hugged me, "Sorry ".

"I've called the doctor, he's on his way, I think it'd just the pregnancy symptoms ", Ben said.

Luther nodded.

"Thank you, for letting us know about what was happening, and for coming here, I really appreciate ', Luther said to Allison.

"It's nothing sir, she's my best friend", she said

"I'll leave you two for a minute, we'll be back when the doctor arrives", he said and Walked out of the room..

"Bitch before I proceed, you didn't tell me Luther was a Greek god", Allison said.

I suddenly laughed.

"Stoop", I whined trying not to laugh.

"Jesus Christ, he's sculpted like Zeus, Fuck, and oh my gosh who is the other fallen angel??".

"It's Ben, his PA, he's mean", I mumbled.

"Well not to me, he was definitely looking like someone I'd die to have, maybe i should seduce him and have his baby too so we could be close together ", she said again and I laughed out loud.

I haven't laughed this way since I moved here.

"Oh stop", I said.

"How's it going here Ivy? what's really going on? how have you been? gosh I'm such a horrible person, I haven't reached out, work is killing me, and my mum's health and everything, gosh I'm so sorry Vee".

"It's okay, I understand, everyone has their life to live, it's okay honestly ", I said

"How are you doing? honestly? tell me?".

I shook my head sadly," No one told me carry a Cowper's heir will be so scary Ally, my life is in danger ", I said.

"Danger? what do you mean? how??".

"It's -"

The door then opened and it was Luther with A doctor.

"Hi, I'm Dr Elizabeth, I'll be your personal doctor throughout your entire trimester ", the blonde woman in front of me said grinning.
