IVY*It's been hard being in the same room with people that kill without blinking, it was crazy when I heard I was given that amount of things in his dad's will and it's the hardest being in the same room with Luther knowing fully well his stares were burning into me. I struggled not to look back, because if I caught the slightest glimpse of his eyes I'll melt.Everything went faster than I imagined and in a flash it was all over. And he wanted to talk to me, and just as I imagined, his eyes caught mine and I lost every form of self control.I just wanted to disappear but then again I wanted to hear what he had to say. This is more or less the last time we might talk, maybe after childbirth and that's it. I don't even want his family money, or the estates or anything, for all I care Laura can have it. I just want to disappear in a clean slate forever.Martins left and it was just two of us."Hi", he said calmly."Hi".He went silent for a while, thinking of the right words to say."
LAURA * * After everything I've been through, everything! I sacrificed my life for this family, I literally sold myself into Mafia to make this family proud and after all that I get 5 million yearly? fuck I make double of that!"Laura, Laura wait", I heard my mother running to catch up with me."Leave me Alone!""Laura!"I stopped on my tracks and turned to her."I'm done! done with everything in general, done playing this game, I'm done being a puppet for this shitty family, Owen is right, we're not Cowpers! and we never will be so I'm tired of trying to find a place in a family I do not belong to! I'm leaving everything behind, including you, I don't care what you have to say!"."Laura", she called softly."No do not fucken call me, all you've done is make my life a living hell and I'm tired of you, so please leave me alone!",I yelled and got into my car violently and drove out.I stopped at a Club; Queendom.I pulled up at the driveway and tossed my keys to one of the bouncer
LUTHER *Everything happened in slow motion after I heard the news. It came from Ben. Ivy got shot twice while waiting for a bus and she's dying.At first, it was hard to believe, very very hard. Took me a couple of seconds to process it.Didn't know when I left my house, didn't know how I got to the car or who drove, I just knew that I was standing in front of the hospital. It was like I had skipped time.I went straight to where she was, Martins was already there."WHAT HAPPENED TO HER ?? I LEAVE HER ALONE WITH YOU FOR FEW MINUTES AND SHE'S SHOT?!! WHAT THE FUCK!"."Hey don't yell at him, if I remember correctly you were supposed to go home with her but you didn't, she's in your protection now and you let her be alone all by herself by this time of the fucken night!",Ben defended me.I wasn't there, I wasn't listening to them exchanging words, I was just looking at her Ward door, my mind was in too many places right now. Very dark places.The door opened and I jumped to meet whoev
IVY **All I could feel was this excruciating pain in my abdomen when my eyes open. it took me a while to process everything but I remembered I was about taking a bus from Cathy's back to my hotel when I saw a tinted car pull-up from a distance and before I knew what happened next I was shot, twice!And I'm alive, I'm actually alive."Glad to have you back Miss Ivy", a doctor said beside me.I turned my head a little, "I'm alive?",I choked out in a whisper."A miracle I must say, a very big one", he said.I smiled a Little."You're just lucky that people found you right on time honestly, we really are", he added.I nodded slowly."But we are truly sorry for your loss", he said.I was confused, my head was trying to make sense of what he was saying."What loss?", I asked."I'm sorry miss but, we lost the baby", he announced.I stared at him unable to say anything.Shocked!My heart started beating fast, terribly fast that the machine started beeping."Hey hey hey calm down, calm down
IVY**The days are a lot slower lately. It's long and depressing. Everyday I touch my stomach and.... it's just... it's just not the same anymore.I literally went to hell and back for this baby and I lost it.. just like that. I don't even know where to start from or where to proceed from.I'm having dark days, very dark days and sometimes I wish my life would just end.After two weeks of being indoor and suffering, I decided it was time to get my life going.I reached out to the owner of my company and reintroduced myself, explained how we met and all, he was very much excited to hear from me.He sympathized with me for loosing the pregnancy, apparently, the news that went out was that I went into early labor and lost the pregnancy at child birth. At least that was a better story that being shot by a bus stop and almost died and lost my baby.We met the very next day and apparently my boss had been demoted, all her dirty deeds came out and the only reason she still worked there was
"Martins, Privately please", he said casually."No, last time that happened -""I'm not going to repeat myself", that was more of an order than I thought.Surprisingly, Martins actually left.What kind of damn authority does this guy have over people."Hi, how are you?", he asked.I shrugged, "I'm okay"."I'm so sorry about... everything that happened... I shouldn't have let you leave alone that night, I should have let Martins wait for you, everything is just -""It's nothing, really, I'm over it", I lied."How are you feeling? how's your health? I suggested Therapy but Martins said you didn't want it"."Yeah, I've always believed therapy is bullshit", I replied He nodded."Okay, so uhm, I got a call from my friend, he said you applied for the managerial position and you got in?"."Yeah I did. Gotta start from somewhere at least"."I'm happy for you... so uhm, you're moving to Miami?,he asked."Yes I am"."How soon?", he asked."Next week latest, gotta use this week to get things to
5 MONTHS LATER**LAURA "Danger?", I asked surprised,so surprised."Hello Laura", he said with a warm smile."What are you doing standing in front of my house... how did you even know this is my... what are you doing in Miami?", I asked so surprised..I haven't seen him in months ever since we moved away from there."Can I at least get a hug?", he asked with his arms spread out.This was unusual, very unusual. Regardless I still hugged."I've missed you", he said.I pulled away, "Okay what is going on?"."Can I come in?", he asked.I let him in regardless."How's Miami? how's everything? how's your mom and all?", he asked.I dropped my glass of wine and took a good look at him."I'm the one asking the questions here", I said."okay", hr replied."What's going on? why are you in Miami? how did you find my house? why are you acting so.... bright?"."Nothing is going on... I came to see you... finding you isn't difficult at all... and uhm, I think I'm acting normal ", he replied.I cro
LAURA **Luther is playing games with me, very dirty games. Because tell me why I walk into the managers office and I'm seeing Ivy."Eww", I said unable to hide my disgust.She looked pretty surprised to see me."What are you doing here?", she asked surprised."Luther fucken set this up ....ughhh", I grabbed my phone and called him.He picked up."Don Danger", I said calmly."Yeahh"."Why the fuck am I seeing Ivy here?"."She's the manager"."You're doing this on purpose!"."No, I'm not, it's the reason I can't do it myself, I can't meet Ivy right now and you know why, so please, swallow your pride and put aside your differences and work this thing out, and make sure she doesn't know we're moving drugs, remember your profit in all of this, Bye Laura I have important things to take care of", he said and cut the call.I turned back to her."You work here now?", I asked."Uhm... Yeahh, I'm Guessing you're the shareholder I'm supposed to meet today", she said."Unfortunately", I mumbled
IVY **It was shocking actually, when I heard Laura found out and she wanted us to talk. I honestly thought she's really maturity, which was definitely a good thing.She was kinda faking the smiles in the beginning but she just straight up told me that she's honestly not happy cuz she's been in love with Luther her entire life, so it was sad seeing him with another woman, again.But everything went well surprisingly, honestly really really surprisingly.When we were done she offered to drop me off at my estate."We should do this some more time", she said in the car."Yeah, that'll be nice", I replied.We went quiet for a moment and rode in silence."Do you know a girl named Jenifer? Luther's ex girlfriend?", She suddenly asked."Yes, he mentioned"."Do you know how she died?", she asked.I'm guessing she's trying to scare me off, typical Laura, she would never give in completely."I heard she was killed and hung in front of Luther's house", I said calmly."Do you know who killed he
LUTHER***I woke up this morning sensing a very negative energy. Something bad was going to happen, I could feel it but I didn't know what.I called Ivy to make sure she was okay, she said she was at work and everything was normal, nothing out of the ordinary. I could just feel something was wrong.I called Laura to check up on her if she was good, she didn't pick up.But she posted on her Insta this morning so I assumed she was fine, but something was off, I could feel it.I had a meeting in San Diego later so I started preparing for my movement today. I told Ben about how I couldn't shake off the sickening feeling that something bad was going to happen.But everything has been good lately, I have no fear of enemies attacking me or anything, I'm with the woman I love and my family is better than it use to be, what could possibly go wrong?Laura called back few minutes to my flight take off."Hey", I said."Hi"."How are you? are you good?".She sighed, "My mom just told me everyt
LAURA***Mother walked into my house by 6pm.She noticed my cold mood, even from the way I spoke with her over the phone to come over, I could swear she heard the terror in my voice."You wanted to see me", she said trying not to act bothered, but it was all over her face."Sit", I said calmly.Mother knew that when I wasn't in a good mood the worse thing she could do was make me angry. I could forget she was my mother for the moment actually.She did.I picked up my cigarette and lit it."You know Blu right?", I asked.She swallowed hard."Yes", she said "Well I went to her club last night, was with her till this morning and we had a chat, a long one actually. And she told me somethings", i started calmly."What did she tell you?", she asked."She said when I was in the hospital you denied her access to see me. And apparently also texted her to stay away from me. As if you knew that if I meet her I'll find out something you don't want me to "."Laura... Laura I can-""Don't fucke
LAURA **These past few weeks have been terrible, honestly terrible.It's like I'm living another person's life. I can't remember shit happening. A lot of things have changed, so badly that it's affecting me. Owen's dead, my godfather too?And everyone seems to be keeping secrets from me, I don't even know why.I walked into my mom and Luther talking today and it was about telling me something, something that I feel like Is the last piece to fixing my memory completely. But my mother told me she'll tell me in the morning and said I should go to bed after taking my pills.Something is wrong somewhere and I just know it and I can feel it. Everyone I ask about it either brushes it off or tells me that I should be happy I have forgotten all those cruel days I had.There was only one person I knew that I told my secrets to and will tell me too.Blu.I immediately got out of bed and found something simple to wear.I got out of my room and headed to my car."My mother asked coming outside
I barged into Mrs Ann's house."Luther is 2am in the morning, what the-""We have to tell Laura the truth, the complete truth, everything. We cannot keep pretending; I cannot keep pretending.""It's not that hard Luther, just pretend like you're both dating for now until when she's ready to hear it"."And when is that going to happen? huh ? when ??? because I cannot keep up with this lie. What's going to happen when she finds out we're playing her, or when she gets her memory?"."Luther I -""No I'm going to talk to her""And you think she'll listen? that's worse, what you're attempting just so you know. Lying to her about everything? she deserves to know the truth "."Luther for the first time since almost 3 years, my daughter is exactly how I have known her. She's happy, she looks and feels alive and she's herself again. Just so you know everything started changing and crashing the very moment she found out about Ivy, and now you want to do the whole thing again? relive the whole th
That was fast "You are so beautiful", he whispered close to my ear."Especially under the moonlight", he added sucking my ear, biting and nibbling on it. Then he stopped kissing me and then looked at me. Locking eyes with me. God this man is breathtaking,how can someone be so devilish and handsome at the same time?His eyes were dark and raw lust was written all over it. I kissed him this time, my hands leaving his neck and wandering into the water finding him boxers.He was so hard.I grabbed it gently, he smirked on my lips.I pulled his boxers off his body, loosing my grip on his torsos. "Naughty girl", he whispered grabbing me tightly. He spread my legs and wrapped it around his torso and found his way inside me.I gasped.He started moving in slowly, matching with the rhythm of the song playing at the background.He broke the kiss and locked eyes with me.My moans were soft and sweet, sometimes you could barely hear it.This wasn't just sex.it was passion.Love making I brok
IVY***It was already midnight and everyone had gone leaving me alone in the house. Luther wasn't picking up, he had disappeared for almost 3 hours now. I sighed.I wanted to go back to my hotel and have a good night sleep. But unfortunately I had to stay here.Mrs Smith had gone to sleep after cleaning up, I helped her out and I decided to go back to my old room.It was exactly as I left it. Everything was the same.The last time I was here, I was pregnant with a baby. I touched my stomach and a sickening feeling hit me.I lost a baby,I lost the only reason I got hooked up with this family. "Hello", Luther said behind meI turned around, "After 3 hours?"."Laura is.... super clingy and... you know I really don't want to talk about all of that right now especially with you", he stated."You don't look so good, I'm sorry I spent too much time, I'm sorry".I shook my head, "It's not that", I said."Then what is? talk to me baby".I slowly went to the bed and sat down on it"The las
IVY**Luther wanted me to come to LA, it was his dad's memorial service and he begged me to come.I hadn't been to LA In a year and half.The last time I was here, I found out The Cowper's were in the Mafia, I lost my baby after I got shot and almost died. That place had terrible trauma attached to it. But I had to because of Luther.No doubt nothing has changed women still stated at me like I stole their men, the gossip and stares still went on as usual. But one thing was different, I was not that woman from over a year ago, I was different now. So so different, and I could even walk up to one of them if they continue looking at me like that."You look stunning, as always",I heard a familiar male voice Behind me."Thank you", I said turning around to see him."Thank you for coming here, it means a lot to me", he said.I smiled, "Honestly I'm just glad to see you, I don't think I can spend five minutes okay when you're away"."I would have taken you upstairs and spanked you while yo
IVY**I opened my door and saw Luther, I rolled my eyes and started heading inside."I know you hate me and I'm a terrible person", he said following me inside."You are", I replied."And I'm so sorry Ivy"."You are",I said again."I promise this is never ever ever going to happen again. Laura had an accident and things have been so shitty and -"."Luther it's okay, I get it, how's she doing?", I asked not wanting to talk about the fact that he straight up ghosted me for 3 weeks.again.He sighed, "It's bad, she's lost a good chunk of her memory"."Well, at least she's okay.""No she's not, that's the thing I wanted to talk to you in person about it. Laura doesn't remember you, at all, she doesn't even know who you are, she doesn't remember that Owen is dead, lot's of things. Meaning she doesn't know we're in a relationship, she thinks I'm still with her".Okay my heart did giggle a little when he said we were in a relationship but focus!"Wait, what?"."You know Laura and I just re
