"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
Ivy **This was the Luther I met that night at the party, and the best part is that he's not drunk, there are no people around to say it's pretence, it's just the two of us so I know this is real."Living in an orphanage was kinda a bit fun if we're being honest. I had like 99 other siblings. We got to share everything together, from food to clothes and all.But then as time went on the people I was close to got adopted and for some reason, I was never picked"."They're all crazy not to pick you , I'd literally pick you in a room filled with kids, literally ", he said munching down on his pork chops.I smiled a little, he's been saying things to make me smile a lot tonight.Like he is so sweet and caring.I could never imagine him being like this to me, I've pinched myself like three times already and it's actually real."Okay so I want to ask, what was your relationship with Laura before I got into the picture? be honest".He shrugged, "Wasn't anything serious ", he said."With the
"So I heard you Went on a date with Danger last weekend", Laura stated. I could swear she's been wanting to talk about it the very moment she saw me. "Yeah", I said moving over to the other side of the boutique so she wouldn't talk about it again. But she followed. "Helicopter date huh?, that's cute", she chirped in again. "Yeah it was ". "I mean it's cute but I would never became like, I'm supper scared of heights", she said again. Bitch I don't care. "Oh ... okay" "Yeah, so did you have fun?". "Yeah I did", I said picking a by green lacy dress that looked so gorgeous. "Oh Danger doesn't like that color, I wore it one time and he said I looked like a twig", she said laughing. "Oh really? because that's kinda the color of the dress I wore to the date last week, which he got for me ", I stated. Laura looked shocked, she tried to maintain composure. "Oh... oh wow", she tried not to scoff, "That's, that's so surprising, I could have sworn he called me a twig when I wore som
I placed my hands on my head and sighed.I turned to Luther, he was busy doing stuffs on his Laptop not even caring about what is going on here."Now you listen the fuck to me you piece of shit", Laura started."I can tolerate anyone in the world, I can tolerate Ivy, but you? hell no. So if you know what's good for you, pick your ass up, remove that bastard in your womb and get the fuck out of here before I make you disappear with no traces"."Are you threatening her?", her other friend started."Well what else does it look like I'm doing?"."Look I've been taking care of myself for the past 8 months all alone , and there is no way I'm gonna take care of this child alone, so you better be ready to be a daddy Luth-""Don't fucken call me that", Luther said looking at her calmly.She immediately regained her composure."Now Tasha, I get it, you're pregnant and you're broke and you're looking for money, I'll give you $5000 cheque, go make a life out of it and stop disturbing me with this
"What's going on in your head?", he asked calmly.I shrugged, "Uhm, I don't know, a lot"."Ivy she's not carrying my child", he stated."And if she is?", I asked.He sighed and rolled his eyes, "If it's ever possible, it means I was raped in my sleep", he said sarcastically."I don't know", I mumbled scratching my arm."Listen you have-"He was interrupted by a knock on his door, it was Ben."The emergency meeting you called for earlier, with the district staffs; they're here", he stated.He turned to me and then back to Ben."Alright then , bring them in", he said and Ben left."We'll have this conversation later", he said and I stood up and went back to my room.I shut the door and sighed and crashed to the ground.I just knew it, nothing good can ever last this long.But then again, I'm not suppose to feel anyway. Luther can have as much women as he wants.He's not my boyfriend or my real fiancee or even my husband, he's my soon to be baby daddy.Nothing too special.I'll just have
LAURA * * My life is falling apart in a million ways. And I can't do anything about it sadly. First I have to put up with pretending to like Ivy and now that son of a bitch is claiming to be carrying Luther's child. Like what is wrong with this man? is he deliberately trying to anger me? I pull up in front of a club. "Hi ma'am", the friendly bouncer says. "Is Blu in?", I asked. "Yes ma'am", he says and let me in. I walk straight to the VIP table and sit my ass down and sighed then I ordered two bottles of whiskey. "Is it me or do you reek of annoyance", Blu said walking over to the table. She was the owner of the Club, it was a women only strip club. "Annoyance is the least things I reek of, talk about rejection and hate", I said. "It is and Danger?", she asked sitting beside me. "Yess, Gosh I'm trying to tolerate his little shitty fiancee and this girl walks into his office the other day saying she's pregnant for him". Blu starts laughing, hard! "Bitch you're joking
"Luther", I said."No ivy, you can't stop me from liking you, or being attracted to you. You can stop me from being with you or being around you but you can't control my emotions and you can't control I make with my emotions because of you"."What if everything goes wrong, what if everything goes wrong, how am I supposed to live with the thought of ruining your life your family, everything".He held my hands gently and looked me deep in the eyes."I've never lost a battle Ivy, and not especially if it's one that has to do with you", he said.I swallowed hard, "What if... what if I don't want to love back, what if I'm not attracted to you, don't you think all this is a waste?", I said trying to convince him not to.He shrugged, "Are you not attracted to me?".I opened my mouth to speak but words... words refuse to obey me.Attracted? I am Way Beyond attracted."I don't know", I whispered."You said that things will be different if I wasn't a killer, and I can't go back to the past an
IVY**I asked Luther if he was in Miami and he said he already went back to LA, so I asked if he could come back and he said he would, because I wanted to see him.Ever since I had that conversation with Laura in my office I've been shaking, visibly shaking. Laura looked so scared when she was talking. Like other times she'd threaten me but this time around she was literally begging me to talk To Luther and I don't even know what to think.He walked into the lounge we agreed on, he was a share holder in it so he just booked the entire place for us.He looked so dreamy when he walked in.It's so painful and sad that you want someone but you can't just have the person. He smiled brightly when he saw me, I wish I could return it but I couldn't. Not with what was happening."Hi", he said soon as he approached me."Hi", I replied trying to act normal."You look... gorgeous... as always", he compliment.I gave a small smile."You said you wanted to see me... that it was urgent?", he aske
IVY**I was in my office today having a meeting when Laura barged in and boy did she look pissed."Laura what is it?", I asked standing up because she looked like she was about to make trouble."I want to talk to you privately", she stated."Can we have this conversation later, I'm in a meeting", I said."Now!""Laura, I'm sorry but-""Don't let me fucken repeat myself".I sighed and rubbed my temples. What the fuck is going on.I left LA to here to be at peace and away from all this drama and of course it has followed me down here.I excused my staffs and they left."What last did you see Danger?".Oh my gosh this again?"Laura don't tell me you made me end a meeting to talk about -""When last did you see Danger?", I raged."The night you dragged me to that club"."Don't fucken lie to me Ivy"."I'm dead serious, I don't even know where he is or anything about it"."When last did you talk to him?"."Last week, when he helped me find my family.. it's... it's a long story and -"."Iv
LAURA **Something was up with Luther and I knew it. He's been in Miami for the past two months, I know he hasn't been seeing Ivy because I've been stalking them, but there was something he was up to.First of all, I spoke with Ben the other time and we randomly talked about the deal we sealed with the Italians mobs and he was very confused about it. He said there was no deal with them that they were people that came to meet Ivy and that there was no drug exchanged, but Luther did give me my cut so it didn't make sense.When I asked him why he's been here, he said work stuff, but Ben also mentioned that Luther hasn't done anything work related since he got back from London. He's been clean and the only deal he's been sealing was legit money works which was very unusual.I decided to go and see him myself and confirm what the fuck."Danger we need to talk", I said soon as I got to his house.He was in the living room with his designer testing out new coats."What's up?"."What game a
"Why didn't she just tell you she was kidnapped and still alive?", I asked."Girl, I don't know, I asked her a lot of times and she never gave me an answer. So yeah after two months her cover got blown and Amber came to rescue me and found out everything his father was involved in... it was sickening, very very sickening. My best friend Sam, she's a Lawyer, she decides to take the case up .... a lot of lawyer's had tried and they all got mysterious killed by your dad"."My father was worse than Luther", I exclaimed."He is the worse man to exist, don't you dare compare him to Luther"."So... she does, she gets kidnapped by your father's best friend who is also deeply involved in the case. He also kidnaps my twin sister, we get them. Ready to leave. We're in the ship, Mayfair. The one that you know my childhood trauma's and all, and my sister is decorated with bombs that are ready to explode, we can't save her, we have to run, we say our goodbyes, and we run out, the ship explodes, sh
" I am found alive on the shore, people find me, I reunite with my dad and we become very low-key, he says he's quitting Mafia, but of course the consequences will follow, he has no protection anymore and his enemies are after us, me in particular. He sends me to new york to get a degree, I go to Harvard, get two degrees and was going for my masters when he calls me back home and I meet a wedding dress and a wedding card, my wedding card. A wedding was planned for me to marry Amber, I fucken freaked out"."Wait, your marriage with my brother was not consensual? you too look so in love", I said because it was so unreal, they act like all this cute IG couples."It wasn't, I refused and my dad said he enemies were coming for me, he didn't want to loose me and the only person that can protect me was another dangerous Mafia Don. Of course, one fire to another. I swear I didn't want to but he begged me to "."What if it ended up being an old twig with a pot belly?", I asked because she took
I took a moment to take everything in. "So my dad ... our dad just got sentenced to death? meaning he's a criminal...was a criminal... our mother committed suicide because she couldn't handle being with my dad... You use to do his dirty jobs for him which means you were somehow involved in this... You're telling me I should get myself involved in this kind of dysfunctional family", I asked. "You don't have to at all honestly, you don't, but just let it be known that you have a family that has been looking for you for years. And trust me this is... the greatest thing that has happened to us in a very very long time, so we're so happy that you're alive, we really are", Amber said. I sat back and relaxed. I think there's something attracting me to toxicity, and I see where it's coming from, my family! this is my bloodline. "Soo... are you in anyway currently involved in the Mafia?", I asked. "No, we're all cleaned, drop all that shit a long time ago" Aaron said. "So you can actua
FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS CHAPTER, READ MY BOOK, MARRIED TO THE DANGEROUS DON. IT'S A SEQUEL TO THIS BOOK.The results were out.I was staring at the file with shaky hands.If the test is positive, I have a family? an actual family??But how? the question is how??I'm so scared and confused.I really really am.I opened the file and read it.... everything All three DNA result came out positive.All of them.My heart was leaping.This was real?? this was actually real??I grabbed my phone and called Luther."Hello Ivy"."It's positive... it came out positive, they're... they're my brothers", I said out of breath.I could hear the excitement in his voice."Are you serious? oh my God I'm so happy for you, have you told them?"."Not yet, I want to arrange a meeting today, I really need answers, my curiously is killing me.""I'm so happy for you, honestly, this is good news Ivy"."Thank you ", I said so honestly."I wouldn't have found them if I didn't meet you, I'm... I'm so grate
There was a knock on my door.Which was weird because ever since I moved here, no one has ever done that, except my next door neighbor Mrs Pudgy that came to welcome me with some homemade cookies and gelato.I opened the door and I was standing in front of four men.I panicked, Damn it Laura knows my house, what if she sent them to kill me?I grabbed my umbrella and pointed it at them, dumb move Ivy, dumb move.They actually looked delighted to see me, and then when I grabbed the Umbrella, they looked confused."She's acting like Lexy", the guy at the back with light brown hair said.I cleared my throat, "Who are you and what do you want?"."Hi, I'm Amber... Amber Matthews", he said nervously."Uhh, this is getting awkward, please could you drop the umbrella", the small one at that back with black curly hair said.I did, slowly."She looks a lot like mom", another one said at the back."Too much like mom, she's the one", the curly hair said."I hope so", the Amber guy said."These are
