LUTHER **I threw his room door open, everyone was surrounding him. Please don't tell me I'm late.Mrs Anna saw me and her face sank. I went to the bed, he looked barely alive."What happened?", I asked the doctor "His heart is failing him, we don't know what happened, he was a lot better this morning, something must have triggered it but he's going", she said.I took a deep breath in and tried to calm myself down."Everyone leave", I instructed., they all did.I sat beside him and held his hands."Old man, you can't possibly do this right now, c'mon", I was trying so hard to put myself together.He's all I've ever had after I lost my mother, whatever I am today is because of him and him alone."Where's... where's Ivy?", he asked."She's... she's outside", I said."Bring her", he managed to say.I dashed to the door and met the doctor, "Get Ivy", I said and immediately went back to him."Son listen to me, you have to marry Ivy", he said."I will, I promise"."No, not that game you
IVY**Luther has been different ever since the day his father died. He's usually cold and all but it's different. I've been a shadow before, so I know when someone's becoming the same.He's depressed, he's acting like he's fine but he's not, it's like every second he's slipping away. I know what it feels like to be this, I've been this way all my life.I know I can help him but, he's not going to let me in.He didn't show up for his father's funeral, he's barely at home, the few times he's around when his family comes to see him he puts up this fake profile of being happy, but I could see through it, clearly.I strolled downstairs and met Ben in the living room, this was a week after the funeral."Uhm hey, is Luther around?", I asked."I can barely even track his movement", he said sounding genuinely worried.He sighed and raked his hair."He's depressed", I said, "The death is affecting him more than how he's making it seem", I said."He keeps saying he's fine that it's a phase an
I sighed, "I never got over them, I never got comfort, never got closure, I was carrying this invincible pain that no one could see. I started things up, got a scholarship to go to college, got multiple jobs, graduated well, and got a good job. I loved my job; I was so good at it. It made me think less about my sad life and focus more on building the company. And that's what I did. Until I lost it, I started slipping into depression again, Kathy could see it all over me. And to top it all up, the day I lost my job was my parents death anniversary, so it was a lot. I went to their graves after I got my resignation letter, and I cried my heart out; I cursed them, and I cried that I missed them. I was alone in this world, and nothing made sense to me anymore; I didn't even see the use of living because what was I living for? I gave myself more than enough time to grieve. When I was done crying, I went to the club that day, and that was when I met you..", I slowly slipped into th
LAURA**I threw away what seemed to be the remains of the 7th cigarette I had lit today."That was your mistake, not mine".Those words Luther said to me still echoed in my head. I have been a fool all my life. All I've ever done was beg for love from someone who never wanted me.I knew it, I knew he did but I couldn't bring myself to believing it, now it was all clear, very very clear.Luther's father had given Ivy the position of the Cowper's father heiress whether or not she decides to stay with him, she was now officially part of the family; a family that I played on role in building from scratch.A one night stand just walked in and stole everything from me.I cursed and poured myself another glass of alcohol.Obsession is a cruel thing, it truly is."Rough night?", my mother asked coming behind me.I rolled my eyes, I am not ready for any of this, at all."If you're here to convince me that I shouldn't give up on Danger then please leave", I said calmly.She was part of the fa
IVY * * Laura was sitting in Luther's office when I walked in, I sighed, here we go again. She turned to me and smiled, "Hello, Ivy," she said in a tone I'd never heard her use. I looked at Luther; he looked back at me; we had the same look on our faces; What the fuck?? "Uhm... Hello", I said. "You look pale; pregnancy is a bitch, huh?" she asked again. I looked at Luther again, "Uhhh... yeah". "What's going on?", I asked. "Laura said she wanted to see you", Luther said finding it hard to believe himself. He had a gun on his table, so I'm guessing he doesn't trust her to be genuine and he's ready if she tries anything funny. "See me?", I asked. The last time we spoke, I said a lot of things to her that I do low-key regret, so I know she has nothing good to tell me. "Well, we never actually got to know each other well, and all, so I thought we could do some girly stuff while at it, maybe go shopping or something. " Luther laughed. Yeah, girly stuff like st
"You know this would have been a lot better if Ben wasn't hawking around us", Laura groaned."So you can kill Ivy and hide her dead body and let Don kill me? No way", he stated.She rolled her eyes, "Anyway, how do you like this Chanel bag?" she asked, handing me this ginger-colored bag.It fit my hair color perfectly."It's beautiful", I stated.Oh, and it's also $10,000. Yeah, I'll pass."Good let's add this to the cart and head home", she said.I paused, "Let's be for real here; what are you playing at? Why are you doing all this? The last time we spoke, you looked like you were going to kill me, and now, all of a sudden, you want to be nice to me?"."Exactly; the last time we spoke, things went ba,d, okay? And you're going to be my boss soon, God knows the things you could do to me, I'm trying to not let you think about all of that ", she said."You're still obsessed with Luther; how could you just be okay with it all of a sudden?"It's a silly crush; I'll get over it with time; a
Someone had been ringing the doorbell for a long time now, and no one answered it, so I went to check it out myself. It was a delivery guy. "Hi", I said. "Good day, ma'am; we're to deliver this to an Ivy Cowper?". My cheeks flared, he didn't just call me that, did he? "That will be me", I said. "Okay, it came in from Mr. Luther Cowper; please sign this here", he said, handing me a pen. Luther? Why is Luther sending me something when he can just get it here himself? I signed it anyway and took the box from him, thanked him, and went back inside. I dropped the box on the couch. What if it wasn't from Luther? What if it was from Laura and it was a bomb or something?? No, Laura wouldn't go that far to kill me, at least not yet. Or so I think. I opened the box and paused in surprise. It was a dress, a green dress, a very, very pretty green dress. I have no idea how he knew he knew my favorite color, but this was so pretty, and it had a pair of silver heels to match it. The
IVY * * I smiled. No I was blushing!! "A helicopter?", I asked smiling. "Yeahh, you scared of height?", he asked. No it's just... I... I've never been in one before ". "Good, there's a first time for everything ", he said. "I... I'm sorry what is going on?", I asked nervous as fuck. "Where's going on a date on a Helicopter, what else?". "Why?", I asked calmly. He shrugged. "We should get to know each other better, right?" I nodded slowly... right. "Good", he stretched out his hands. I took it and he walked me to the helicopter. It was so loud when we get closer. He gave Ben and sign and he responded and then left. He helped me up and we got in. "Wait are you the one flying this?", I yelled because I could barely hear my voice. ,He nodded. Okay I shouldn't be worried?? I mean should I? "Do you even know how to fly it?", I asked genuinely worried.He chuckled."Yes Ivy", he said strapping a belt on me and him."Now just sit back and relax", he said.Relax? hell no
