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
LUTHER *For some reason I was being very emotional right now. I've been thinking of it too; her leaving and I don't want it to happen, I really don't.I don't know it's going to be like if she leaves, I mean yes I get to see her from time to time but it's different.Like I just literally asked her what she wants me to change about the world, lol.She sighed, "I don't know, it's... it's a lot to ask for", she said."Take your time whenever you feel like you're okay with talking about it I'm always here".She gave me one of those her cute smile and nodded.Everything thing went smoothly from there . We talked, we laughed, we had fun.I don't know why I didn't think about this sooner, we'll definitely be doing this more often.By the time we were finished it was already late and she was talking about being tired and sleepy.We got home and Mrs Ann was in the living room, and boy did she look tense."Mrs Ann, any problem?", I asked."Uhm, oh it's nothing, nothing out of the ordinary", s
IVY*After about 10 minutes, I got out of the shower and put on my robe. I heard a faint scream. And it definitely sounded like it was coming from this house.I got up and got out. I checked Luther's office and he wasn't there, I checked his room and he wasn't there either. I got outside and started heading to the back of the house to check the pool side and I found the basement door opened. Since I got here, I have never seen that place open before. I was hearing voices and screams from there.I should go back, whether is going on there is none of my business... right?Wrong, because I found myself standing at the entrance of the place."....this is the reputable Cowper family that we all envy in this town, this is who you truly are".. someone screamed.I heard Laura say something. I wanted to go back, I wanted to turn back and leave but my mind, my spirit, my body, my soul didn't want to leave. I started walking down the stairs. I got to the base and found myself in a poorly lit ro
I want to remind you that I was in my bathing robe all this while and my hair slightly damp. I got into this 24 hours cafe and then I called Cathy, she said she wasn't in town and that the spare key wasn't even with her and she promised she'll take the first train by morning to come see me because I sounded so distressed. The only person that came to my mind was Martins.I could have booked a room, but whatever transaction I make will reflect on Luther's side and I didn't want him to find me until I was ready to see him."Hello", I said soon as he picked up."Martins Armstrong, how can I help you", he said."It's uhm, it's Ivy... Ivy from... from the uhm, from the Couples dinner, you ...you gave me your contact and uhm-""It's okay I remember you, are you okay? you sound-""I'm not... I know, I know I don't know you and you don't know me and hell you Could even be a serial killer and I could be walking into another trap maybe even worse than the one I'm running away from but I just -"
LUTHER **I was summoned for a family meeting and I already knew what it was about. That kind of information would send my entire family into rage and Laura already did me a favour passing it to them, it was time to face themLaura and her mother, Owen, my God father, my uncle's and my aunt's were there along side with some of my other cousins that play little or no role to the whole of this."Don Danger", My godfather started immediately I got settled."Information reaching us is that .... you're planning on quitting Mafia because of your ex fiance?".Everyone gasped and started mumbling.I shook my head."I'm quitting because I want to, she's just a bonus mark", I corrected.They all looked uneasy and started exchanging glances and thinking of how they were going to say whatever it is they wanted to say."Danger, that is a very dangerous idea. For one the reason The Cowper family is still standing today is because everyone pays allegiance to the throne. And if you step down the t
LAURA *I barged into my mom's room unexpectedly and there was this guy giving her heads under the sheets.He got out immediately."Get the fuck out!", I yelled."Oh c'mon Laura, can't this wait", she so caught up in the moment "Luther is dropping Mafia!", I announced."Huh?"."Man get out!", I yelled again.The dude got his ass up and went into the living room.I turned back to her, "Mom I need to kill Ivy El Fuego, I need to, I'm so tired of this bitch!"."What does she have to do with all of this? I thought she was out of the picture?"."He's changing because of her. She can't be with a serial killer and put her life in danger, he wants to drop everything to be with her"."But that's bad, that's terrible I mean we could die. He's what's protecting us, we're under the protection of The Cowper family, and if there is no Cowper family Cartel there is no us", she panicked."Exactly!".She sat up and rubbed her temples."I have to talk to him, we have to talk to him, he's going to loo
Why is my life so fucken complicated. A year ago, I was this weird as girl working my ass out for a days meal at my office, being as weird as usual.. Today, I'm standing in the white house for the president's birthday. You heard me right well. Martins took me to the white house to celebrate the president's birthday. Yes, in Washington, we took a private jet to Washington.When I asked him why he did it, he said something about connection and power and influence and some other things I really didn't hear because I was still in shock.I never ever expected to be seated in the same room with the president of the united state. Everything went so fuzzy and fast and before I knew it, it was all over and we were heading back home. We didn't stay back for socialization and all because I told him I was having social anxiety."Did you enjoy yourself?", he asked."I... I don't even know", I said still caught up In the moment."Well, there's plenty from where that came from", he said We start
"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
