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 -"
It's been 3 days, exactly 3 days since I last saw Ivy and I am loosing my mind.I reached out to her friend Cathy and she said she spoke to her that night but she wasn't in town and she's been trying to reach her but she hasn't heard from her since then.I've been having crazy thoughts, crazy ass thoughts like she was killed,not she decided to kill herself, because Ivy acts like someone that's suicidal... very suicidal.I've tried tracking her phone, her last location was a Cafe down the street and the workers there said she was last seen with a man. I don't even know who to think of because Ivy never talks to anyone, I really don't know her as much as I think I do."Danger,you need to calm down", Laura said for the 700th time."I can't"."Look, I know Ivy is alive, geez, and if you find her, what are you going to say to her? what do you plan on telling her? She needs space Danger, you just have to give her that until she sorts her mind out and she's ready to talk to you."I exhaled
LAURA *My mother is a badass, can't even lie.However she was able to call the mayor and send those guys to Luther's house, however she left the door open and how she knew Ivy was going to walk in and how she pretended like she knew nothing about this, shocks me honestly.The plan had worked, too perfect. And it's better she's with Martins, at least he can charm her all he wants and take her away from Luther, I don't care.But, I still had to keep up this fake act .I knocked on the hotel room door and few seconds later it opened and boy was she frightened and not happy to see me."Hi bestie", I said with my usual fake smile.Oh but she wasn't happy to see me."How did you find me?", she asked walking in slowly.I got in and shut the door."Did Martins -"Martins didn't tell me anything, I have my ways and no Luther doesn't know you're here"."So uhm.. what.. what are you doing here?", she asked, I could see her reach for a pocket knife on the table behind her."Ivy relax, if I want
IVY**Life always made one thing very clear to me; I was never destined for a normal life. Because explain to me how I lost my job because my boss framed theft on me, and I meet a guy at a club and sleep with him and get pregnant for him and then I realized he's a billionaire and I think it'll be nice if I just hang around a bit and get money to take care of my child and then I start falling for him only to realize that he and his entire family are bloody murderers!Damn it, the way he said it to me that night sent shivers down my spine. He's a Mafia lord and a runs a drug cartel?? damnnnn!When Laura showed up the other day, I swear I had genuine fear for her that moment and I knew that if she was going to threaten or say anything to me, she would actually mean it. And everything she said, everything she told me was enough to get me out of this country and far away from them.But I was with his baby, and yes it was my choice if I didn't want him to be in the picture, but it was his
LUTHER *"Saw Ivy Yesterday", Laura said entering my office.My face lit up."Saw her? where? is she safe? is she good? wait, how did you get access to Martins house and -""Calm down Danger! gosh. Yes she's safe and good no she's not in Martins house she's in a hotel".I opened my mouth to speak and she stopped me, "No I'm not going to tell you the hotel because you're an obsessed freak".Look whose talking.I opened my mouth to speak again and she stopped me."And no, I'm not going to tell you how I found her, just know that she's safe and okay and she's never coming back, now move on Danger!".I sighed and rubbed my temples."Can I at least just talk to her"."Why? so you can manipulate her into staying? that's not going to happen, For God sake for once think about her, she's not coming back to a bloody serial killing family, and she's not going to be safe here, she's not going to be safe around you, she's going to be traumatized, how can you not get that into your head"."And my
LUTHER **Today was supposed to be the day they open my dad's will and share everything among us. Which means it's my official crowning as the Cowper heir. Which also means I have to continue from everything my father did, and when I say everything I mean everything.And trust me when I say he's worse than me in every way.. he is.For instance I don't kill women or children. I can only use them to threaten you but I really won't hurt them.But my dad? he'll wipe out everything in your family including your dog.Laura, her mother,my godfather, Owen, his mother; my aunt, and every other relevant person was there.We were waiting for the Lawyer.Everyone seemed thrilled to be involved in this, but I wasn't. I just don't want to do this but I can't because it's my fucked up destiny.Few minutes later, The Lawyer walked into the living room with Ivy and Martins.The entire room fell silent.She avoided making eye contacts with me.I couldn't help but stare shamelessly. It was the first
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
