LAURA **I can't lie, I've not been myself these couple of months and I can't lie about it.My life was going so perfectly well, too perfectly well, I had everything in control and everything going exactly as planned until Ivy showed up.Luther's father was dying soon, he needed a family to take over, I was the closest woman Luther had in his life, I was supposed to be the new Mrs Cowper but now everything is going south.The truth is, I knew that Luther will never love me, not even in his next life and he will never feel what I feel for him but I was willing to try, willing to hope that things will change and whether or whether not it works out, I was still going to be with him, forever.Now will you believe the pleasant surprise I get when I hear that a woman showed up for hell and is trying to tie him down with a pregnancy.And what pains me the most is how he's so willing to keep her and to make her stay, how he's so protective of her and how he treats her like a jewel, somethi
IVY*I just knew it wasn't gonna last, Luther was back to avoiding me again and acting like I didn't exist. I was getting used to how everything was going until when he started acting different and it felt so nice, but then it was all the alcohol.I had started a new hobby of recent. Before I started working, I use to love making designs for dresses. I would make the prettiest that you could ever imagine, but I never got the privilege to show case them to the world, and that wasn't going to pay my bills so I had to focus on work.Now I'm being a pregnant house woman I find myself day in day out making designs for dresses.Luther barged into my room unexpected."We have a dinner date in an hour, picked out a dress already for you, matches with mine, be down on time", he said casually and handed me the dress.I nodded, "Oh thank you", I said.He left immediately after.I can't even lie when I say I miss drunk him. Wish I could be drugging him more often.I picked up the dress and stare
"Hmm?", was the only thing that came out my throat. He then pulled away and gave me a short smile, "Extra 20 minutes go change the dress, big mistake", he said casually. I nodded, Yup very inappropriate, I agree. I rushed upstairs and shut my room door behind me. Now I'm a 100% sure that he's not drunk and this isn't public so what was that?!!! I exhaled and got into my closet and quickly changed into another black dress, this one was silky, long and had a slit at the side... just one. Then I got back downstairs and he was waiting for me. He didn't say a word, he just started walking outside. We headed towards the Limo and surprisingly he chose to be a gentle man and opened the door for me. I got in and so did he, the driver took off immediately. The ride was as usual, no word said till we got to the destination. I'm beginning to think I've been having illusions of how he's been acting of recent if we're being honest. We arrived the hotel and he got out of the car and helped
Martins was nice, funny and very mature. He's from a royal bloodline, but not his sister, she's more like his step sister.I asked him about his partner since it was a couples dinner and he told me that he didn't need a date because they were the hosts. His sight and him.She creates the event every year so she can meet a new rich man to steal. So he knew everything about this event and what goes on.For the moment I tried to enjoy myself, I hadn't spoken to anyone that wasn't involved in the Cowper family for months.Talking to someone about something that didn't involve Luther was refreshing."I really don't understand what your fiance would want in my sister that you do not have", he said."You're really beautiful, extremely stunning, very elegant ", he said.I smiled, broadly, when last did I hear that? someone compliment me? genuinely? been long."Thank you ", I said smiling."What is going on here?".It was Luther, he was standing at the door of the balcony with Ben.When did Be
I've been indoors lately, and this time it's because I want to be indoors. I only interact with my doctor and then Mrs Smith most times when she serves me food.I've dedicated my life to making designs for dresses, I've made lots of them and I plan of selling them online to at least get money of my own, just incase this whole thing with Luther goes wrong.We haven't seen each other for two weeks now, after what went down the other night. I hear his voice outside, I see him in the garden most times, but we haven't seen each other, and this time around I'm the one avoiding him.I just want to be alone for now, maybe if things could go any faster I would be out of here in no time.I'm more like a prisoner now and I'm trapped everyday in my thoughts. I don't know what to do anymore, and I don't know who to talk to about everything.I've thought about calling Martins, but I don't trust him enough to tell him everything that's going on, one little mistake and everything goes wrong? I'll be
Another night to sit with the Cowper's and pretend like I give a fuck about anything that has to do with them. Luther got out of the car and then stretched his hands out for me. I took it. "Remember the plan", he said as we approached the back of the house where they were having dinner. "Remind yourself that next time", I mumbled. Before he could say anything, his godfather noticed us. "There they are", he said soon as they saw us.They rose and bowed, something I Will never understand.Laura wasn't in the table today and boy did I feel relieved. At least no one to throw dagger stares at me.After we greeted ourselves, we sat down."Well I'm sorry for dragging you two love birdsg away from your home. I just want to make use of every moment I spend with you." His father said."Try a be a bit positive old man and you might just Live a bit longer "Luther teased."Well I mean you should be praying for me to die so that you can get the whole throne, maybe speed it up a bit and poison
Some rides are quiet and then there's silence. That's what Luther and I went home with.I wasn't even ready for that conversation at all; soon as we alighted, I got out of the car and headed straight inside.I said what I said and I don't regret it. "Ivy", Luther called me making me stop on my tracks and turned around slowly."We need to talk", he said calmly.I didn't say anything, I just stand there waiting for him to talk."What happened between you and Laura?", he asked.I shrugged, "What does it look like happened?", I mumbled."You said a lot of things out of place -""Out of place? I'm sorry. You've been here for the past 4 months watching this woman threaten my life, abuse me and drive me into the point of almost commiting an abortion for your child and I just let it off my chest and I'm the one talking out of place?", I say calmly, very calmly."Luther listen, if you're tired of me, if your family is tired of me, just let me know and I'll be on my way. I'm not talking to an
LUTHER * * I asked Laura to come see me later that day. I expected her to barge in and rage, but she didn't; she looked broken when she walked in. "I hate my life", she mumbled and took a cigarette from my table and lit it. "Why do you look this way?", I asked. "Your fiancee insulted me brutally last night; my mother's nagging about how I allowed her to do it and how I'm allowing her to make me a weak woman. " "I'm sorry about her outburst, but if we're being honest, I mean, you've been pretty hostile towards her." She dropped the cigarette, "I'm supposed to be accommodative? Bring her flowers every time I see her? Take her shopping, paint her nails? I had a clear opportunity in this family, and she gets to sleep with you one night, and she has it all", she said in furry. "Laura, you will always be a part of this family; that's just the truth, "I said. She dropped the cigarette and placed her hands on her temple. "I don't want to be a part of your family. I want
