Four weeks had passed and uhm, I can't say things have been normal.For some reason, Luther has gotten distant again. He disappears almost everyday and comes home late and barely even talks to me.I mean I would have thought work, but then this sick thought in my head kept telling me that he was going to See Tasha all the time..And I mean that's not suppose to be a problem because, she's pregnant right? and she might be carrying his child right? it's okay that he goes to check up on her but this regularly that he doesn't even talk to me?And before you ask why I'd think of that, Tasha has never showed up again after that night, ever! and if she's coming around it means she's not getting Luther, but now that she isn't coming around anymore what do you want me to think?Although she left the house that night in a creepy way and said some creepy things but in all honesty I'm still convinced he's seeing her.Am I jealous? what no of course not, I mean why will I be jealous the Luther is
I was standing in front of my mirror looking at my self, I kept on touching my neck to be sure what happened a few hours ago was real.His long nails had dug deep into my skin that it left bruises there. The skin around there was redMy room door opened and my mother walked in."Honey what happened, you said it was an emergency"I pointed at my neck.She looked closely at it, "What happened... looks like someone tried to strangle you, who did this?", she asked examining it."Luther", I said suppressing my rage.She looked at me slowly, "What?"."Luther strangled me in his house today."What?", I could hear the shock and anger in her voice."Why? why would he? I mean what the fuck?""First of all, I said something about the Cowper family being dangerous which scared Ivy""It's always that bitch, it's always her!", she said getting ready pissed."Second of all, he claims that I killed Tasha even after he instructed me not to", I said again."Oh Honey you didn't kill her, I did", she sai
"Sorry but we can't let you in ma'am"."You're joking, go In there and tell Danger that I want to see him""You're no longer allowed to come in here ma'am".I groaned loudly.I've been standing in front of this place for more than 25 minutes, and these people keep telling me that Danger ban me from coming to his house.Ben showed up and sighed."Ben please tell me this is a joke", I said."It's not"."So now he's angry with me? because what he thinks I killed some bitch and I scared Ivy? that's enough reason to cut off someone who literally built him brick by brick.? Ben open this fucken door", I said.He signaled them to open the gate and they did, I started marching inside when he pulled me back."He's in a very subtle mood, please do not say anything to anger him any further than he is, cuz I'm telling you that he will kill you, no jokes", I rolled my eyes and took my hands back and marched into the house.Ivy was in the living room."Hey", she said.I ignored her and went straight
LUTHER *It's sickening when I think about the fact that Laura is right, everything she said last week was the truth and it was haunting me, haunting me so badly.What's going to happen when Ivy finds out about my family? You know initially I don't really care because I never thought to keep her, but now the thought of letting her go is scaring me and the thought of loosing her, the thought of her dying because of me is haunting me.I nearly lost my shit when I found out that Jennifer died, I didn't even care about her as much as I cared about Ivy and it killed me, I can't imagine what's going to happen if anything happens to Her, I can't, I'll loose it completely.I summoned courage and walked into her house.She was in the living room sipping a glass of champagne in her white robe and her damp hair.Honestly, Laura was a beautiful woman, but I just couldn't bring myself to being attracted to her."What brings the Lion to the Antelopes home", she said casually and laid on the couch.
IVY*By the time I woke up, Luther was sitting beside my bed looking a bit relaxed than how I saw him the last time.."Hey", he said rubbing my fingers."Hi", I said weakly."You gave me a heart attack", he said."I'm sorry"."What happened??""I slipped and fell and I uhmm... I couldn't even call for help I . .i-""What of Mrs Smith I mean she was around", he said honestly worried."I'm sorry I just... I just couldn't scream for help".He rubbed my fingers again, "Well I'm just glad you're okay ", he said again.I was really scared to ask."How's the.... the baby", I managed to ask."Doing very fine, thankfully you didn't fall on your stomach, a little rest and some meds and you'll be fine ", he said.I sighed relieved, Thank God."I'm sorry I wasn't around and I wasn't there for you and-""It's okay, it could have happened to anyone, I'm honestly fine", I said.He sighed, "I got really scared what I saw you lying on that floor clutching on your stomach I was... I was so scared, so
IVY**I hated places like this, there were women with power and I'm talking high class women of power in here. Women that I know I can never be and the worse part is Laura kept introducing me to all of them. She was made for this kind of stuff, not me."SO Ivy this is my good friend Blu, she's the queen around here and she's also the owner of this male strip club called the Queendom, Blu this is Ivy, Luther's fiancee", Laura said.She took a long look at me, "You're the Ivy?", she asked.oh shit, "the"?? I'm so cooked."Pleasure to meet you", I said stretching out my hands for a friendly handshake."Wish I could say the same", she said and walked out on me That was cold... But then again that's not the first person that has done that since I got here, it's like they all have this idea about me. Here they weren't looking at me with jealousy or anything, talking and whispering Like every other event I've been to, they didn't even give a shit about me. All they knew was that I was Lut
LUTHER*Immediately I was sure Ivy had gotten into her room and turned to Laura and I swear I would have killed her at this point."Danger I am...so sorry, I didn't, I didn't even know that -""You had one job, one job Laura, what if something had happened to her? Or what if she had walked in on us?!"."I'm so sorry, okay, I'm so sorry, I noticed she disappear some seconds after she left and I asked the guards and they said she left with the driver because she was feeling sick and I tried calling the driver but he wasn't even picking up and then I tried calling you and you weren't -""All these excuses or unnecessary Laura "."I'm sorry Danger, I really am".I sighed and raked my hair."How did you take care of everything, where are they?".I was tracking her and I noticed her leaving, and then one of the guards called and said she had left and she was obviously heading home, had to clean up", he said.'Where are they?", she asked."Basement ", I said and started heading out of my of
IVY**I'm in my 8th month in this pregnancy, I have one month left to be here and I keep asking myself, after this what's next?I don't want to be part of this family, I feel unsafe here, I feel like there's a lot I don't know about. I somehow feel this place is okay for my child but it's not okay for me, at all. I look at them everyday, everyone here is fake, under a mask and worse is, they're not telling you what they're hiding, you just have to find out.I've thought about getting the job as the Manager of my other company, you know the time we met at the dinner that Luther told me to, and I'm also thinking about going fully into fashion and designs , I've thought about a lot of things, and I've also thought about Luther, a lot.He's one bag of confusion.One second it's like he's this sweet angel and next second he's cold.My feelings for him hasn't faded one bit, but this is me trying to protect my heart at all cost. Every single person I meet tells me the same thing about the
The internal struggle is something else. Confusion, fear, more confusion.I've been so off lately even my boss noticed it.It's the conversation I had with Laura.I know Laura is usually always scaring me and threatening me, but this one wasn't a threat it was a warning.Plus Owen died, and Laura is not looking herself at all. There's so much going on, and I don't know how I'm roped into any of this.This is the exact reason why I ran away in the first place.I got back from work later that night and I was so tired, I just wanted to get into bed and sleep, but I noticed my front door was slightly opened.My heart started beating fast.I pulled out a pocket knife from my bag and walked in slowly.Immediately I got in, I turned the lights on to find who it was leaving the door open so I can run out anytime I wanted to.It was Martins.Usually, I would have relaxed but from what Laura just told me? I can't trust anybody."What are you doing here? how do you have access to my house?", I
LAURA *Anyone who had seen me these past few days said the same thing; Something is wrong with me.It was all over my face and body. I used Owen's death as an excuse to cover up but in reality I was dying, I was slowly dying.I barely ate, I took antidepressants like how I'd drink water, I was too deep into drugs because that was the only thing keeping me sane.I hate my life, but I hated my mother even more."What are we going to do now that Luther's got the seat back?", Martins asked my mother who was pacing around the house."I think we should just... call this off and go our separate ways, I'm tired, really really tired. And it's worse cuz now Owen's death was a waste.""Laura you are not helping right now", My mother Said restless."Ivy", Martins said."What?"."Look, we need Luther to step down, because if he does, there's no other suitable candidate except Laura, now he's obviously not going to want to step down anytime soon unless he finds a cause to.We're going to use Ivy
I got a belated birthday gift from Luther the next day. It was a basket full of flowers, White roses were my favourite, I use to collect them a lot when I was still in his house.I'm guessing he noticed, All Martins ever brought me were red roses, he never asked me if I loved them or if I ever wanted them.Luther was going to make moving on from him harder than I imagined.I honestly thought he forgot, because everyone else did, including Martins, but he didn't.I put the basket in my room and carried on my entire week pretending like everything was fine.I just couldn't help but feel so sorry for Luther.He wanted out so badly, he really wanted to, and now Owen is dead? it's so heart breaking.I got back from work and met a very shocking visitor in front of my porch."Laura?", I asked so surprised because this is the second time I'm seeing her here.She had a cigarette in her hands, she wasn't crying but she really looked messed up."Can I uhm... can I have some of those your homemad
Ivy **I've occupied myself with work for the past 3 weeks. I've ignored Martins, even when he came to my office to see me, I told my PA to tell him I was in a meeting.I'm so fed up with the whole Cowper family drama, but I'll be a liar if I say I don't feel hurt about what Luther did to me.I got home today tired and exhausted and I just wanted to go to bed and sleep.It was my birthday today though.My office did a little celebration for me with a cake and some balloons and wine, I guess I've been their best manager yet so they had to do something special for me, and it was just perfect.I never really got to enjoy my birthdays, they were always the same.I got a call from Amber later that day and my brothers wishing my happy birthday. They asked I come around for Amber's proper white wedding to his wife which was in two weeks.I guess I do need to bond with them, I promised I would be there.I was just about to fall asleep when my doorbell rang.I groaned.it was definitely Mart
IVY **No, I don't feel horrible about Fucking Luther and then waking up to see he had left without telling me and didn't called me for two weeks even after I called him and texted him checking up on me and he read the text and never replied.No of course I don't feel horrible, I'm perfectly fine.Okay let's drop the act.Why the actual fuck will someone pretend to be so into you, and the very moment you finally sleep with him he disappears from your bed before morning and ghosts you right after, why?? is that even legal? Oh my God I can't believe I let my guard down again! after promising myself that I won't let this man into my life, I'm such a-My thoughts were I interrupted by a knock on my door.Is it .. Luther?I rushed out of the kitchen and went to the door to open.My smile went down a bit."Ivy"."Martins", I said faking a smile.He handed me flowers.As usual."Come in", I said and led him inside.We started with the small talks and all and he mentioned he was tired, he
Everyone was looking at me surprised."But you quit? you wanted out of the game to get a new life right?", my godfather asked.I nodded, "And where did that get us? Owen's dead. Seems like this lifestyle keeps chasing me everywhere, I'm the fucken Cowper heir and so be it"."Have you uhm... considered giving it to another person, I mean we all knew that Owen was a good fit but... he wasn't that powerful, only the throne gave him the power", Laura's mother said."And get another person dead? no"."Consider Laura for example, they didn't kill her, the only reason she got injured was because she was trying to protect Owen, maybe they didn't want Owen , they wanted someone else there".I inhaled the hot and burnt taste of the cigarette and released it."That person is going to be me"."Luther i-""It's Don Danger now", I stated."Look I'm only saying that -""godmother, I appreciate whatever it is you're trying to do but we have a serial killer that we have to go after and I'm going to fi
LUTHER **Ivy looked so beautiful when she sleeps.It was 3am and I couldn't sleep so I stayed up staring at her.I want to keep this woman, I really want to.I'm willing to change things, change my life, leave everything behind and be with her, only if she'll let me.My phone started ringing, it was Laura.Was why she calling me this late?I picked the call and everything she said left me shocked, speechless and shaking. My head was spinning.I couldn't wrap my head around it and I was trying to be as calm as possible.Owen was dead???Just few weeks after being inaugurated?? how?? how did this happen??I got out of bed slowly trying not to wake Ivy up.I put on my clothes and dashed out immediately.She was probably going to hate that I left her all alone in the morning.But I had bigger issues.While I was driving, I was calling everyone I could reach out to that night to come to Miami asap.My cousin just got killed.The supposed Cowper heir.Whoever is doing this wants only me
LAURA * * Owen has been inaugurated fully, he was now the one controlling things. I'm supposed to be happy with the development, I can work with him better than I would with Luther because I have no grudge against him. We could work as a team and run this business well. But I can't be, because my mother wants to destroy everything. I'm supposed to kill Owen, Owen of all people in the world! He's such a sweet pure and innocent soul, he doesn't deserve it, any of it. A part of me wants to tell Luther everything, another part of me can't. I got back from Brazil a few days ago after sn encounter with this woman I've been dying to meet. . And she asked me not to walk down the wrong path, but I clearly was. Because I was sitting in the middle of this hotel room waiting to kill Owen. He came to Miami to see Luther for something's and, I told him to meet me at the hotel when he was done. Told him it was a private meeting and so he shouldn't let anyone know he's with me. About a
But the problem was, I wasn't going to tell him to stop, I wasn't because I've deprived my body of this feeling of wanting him badly and having him and now my body has a mind of it's own and it's going crazy.His hands snaked around my waist and pulled the laces of my dress off and peeled my dress off my body.Our eyes met for two seconds, it was filled with raw lust and passion. He picked me up again and sealed our lips, and carried me to the living room and laid me on the couch. He stared at my body and bit my lips. "You're insanely sexy Ivy", he whispered before kissing me again.Damn it!!His hands began to explore my body, all over it, everywhere.Taking his time to massage my breasts. His lips moved from my lips and trailed kisses from my neck slowly, biting and sucking down to my chest, to mu breast.He held one in his left hands, grabbing gently, teasing my nipples, slowly, drawing soft circles all over. His mouth went to the other, doing the same thing his other hand was do
