LUTHER *"Do you have any regard for me? even the least?", Laura asked barging into my office.I was with Owen, we were doing some work stuffs and handing over some things to him. Owen read the room and excused himself."Danger, I left your family and all your bullshit for good and you came back with your pity story and you said that you wanted me back in the game, and now you give everything to Owen?? Owen?? not me! What exactly do you take me for?"."Laura I really appreciate your effort and help but... you have to understand that this is way too serious than every other stuffs we've been doing, one wrong decision made and I'll regret it more than leaving the seat vacant. I'm sorry but I don't think you can handle it", I said calmly.She calmed down too."Why do you think I can't? because I'm a woman?"."Have I ever played the gender card role when it involves you? no Laura it's not because you're a woman "."Then what? cuz I'm now a true Cowper?", she asked."You'll always be my
IVY***I think Martins is doing too much, and it's making me think he's trying to do it to get back to Luther, somehow.Something like, "He did it but I can do better".And it's getting really creepy.He brings me flowers everyday at work, and that's really cute but the write up that follows are crazy. Something's like, "Getting you the flowers no one else could get you" and " Me over them all" and " he doesn't love you like I do" and " Putting a smile on your face cuz they could never".And he's obviously talking about Luther.I mean this would be cute if Luther wasn't in the picture and center of it all.And he's becoming really overprotective, aggressively protective and in all honesty it's getting really irritating.Like the other day he showed up at work unannounced, he said it was a surprise and that was sweet. But tell me why he got mad cuz I was talking to my co worker? he said the guy was obviously flirting with me and he even threatened to punch him in the face if he ever
LAURA **I sensed someone's presence in my house when I entered into it.The lights were turned off so I couldn't see the person, but someone was sitting on my couch.I acted like I didn't notice it and went to the wine booth where I usually hid my emergency gun and pulled it out slowly and then went to the switch, then I turned on the light and turn pointed the gun to the person."Martins what the fuck?", I questioned shocked because why is he in my house.He had a cigarette in his hand."Want some?", he asked, ignoring the question I asked."What the fuck are you doing in my house? how the fuck did you even get in?", I asked again ready to shoot him."Your mom let me in, she just recently left like 30 minutes ago".My mom??Yeahh I knew she was in my house, she did mention."The fuck are you talking about? why the fuck would my mom want to interact with a cunt like you?""Drop the gun Laura, and let's talk"."No you start talking before I blow your brains out, what are you doing h
"Marry you?", I asked laughing."You're insane to think I'll settle down for someone like you"."Non negotiable", he stated.My mother walked in immediately."What the fuck am I hearing?", I raged immediately."Calm down Laura", she said."No I'm not going to calm down, I'm not. Because you clearly told me that you wanted us to move here to Miami so we could have a normal life outside the Cowper's and now I'm hearing you had this master plan all along to make Luther want to step down by bringing Martins in the picture and put me in the spotlight so I could have the throne and now you're planning on killing Owen so I can have to throne and get married to Martins? are you insane mom?"."Laura sit down let's talk this out "."Hell no! and Martins I don't get you.i thought you clearly stated that you didn't want anything to do with the Cowper's, I mean My godfather even left you a Cheque and you bluntly turned it down "."Well it would ruin the reputation I'm trying to keep, besides you w
IVY**There was a knock on my door.I went to open it and it was Martins.He had flowers in his hands."What do you want?", I asked coldly."I'm sorry for my outburst the other day, that was so wrong and rude, I had no right to talk to you like that, I was just infuriated because I was seeing you with Luther and it just ticked me off, I hate him, very obvious and... it was just so wrong I'm so sorry".I crossed my hands on my chest, "When were you going to tell me that Luther was your brother? I mean how could you even keep that kind of Information from me?"."Because I genuinely don't want to be his brother, I don't, I hate the fact that he's my brother to start with and all he did was treat me like I didn't matter at all".I sighed and rubbed my temples."I'm so sorry Ivy, for everything. Everything"."Martins you're becoming... I don't know, different and it's really not something I can't explain. I mean you're becoming a control freak and it's getting out of hands "."I'm sorry,
IVY**Someone has been sitting in front of my house crying for the past 30 minutes and it's few minutes past midnight, at first I thought of calling the cops but... I didn't even know why I was hesitant.But it was giving gory horror movie vibes.After getting a knife from my kitchen, I went to the door and opened it."Laura?", I asked so scared and confused."What.... what are you doing here?".What if this was a trap and if I get closer to her she'll kill me.But then why would she want to kill me? I'm out of her life entirely, and I did try to convince Luther not to leave Mafia, I did my best, and he's obviously not leaving because of me.... I think.The point is, why would she want to kill me?"Do you think I'm cursed?", she asked in cleaning her tears."What?"."Do you think I'm cursed? like there's this I don't know, curse hoovering over my head"."Why'd you ask?"."Because everything is pointing to the fact that I just might be cursed ", she cried."Uhm... oh".I genuinely di
DISCLAIMER: SEXUAL SCENE AHEAD.Ivy **So let's pretend like, Laura didn't come to the front of my house to cry and then I helped her and she just walked out of me and said whatever she said... let's pretend that didn't happen.Martins disappeared after the last time I saw him, I've been unable to reach him everywhere... I didn't think about it too much because... Martins is Martins.And today, we were having our annual Dinner Banquet in our office.. it was more or less like a fund raising event, my boss would invite a lot of his rich friends and his rich friends friends... they'll socialize, talk business and get investors for us.I'm the manager of this company, so trust me when I say I'm under pressure, I'm under serious pressure. I've been so busy all week making sure that the event must be a huge success, it was my first time hosting an event like this, and I had to ensure it'll go well else I'd just cry.I was socializing with everyone; Something I hated to do. But for my com
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
The wedding was over, had a lot of drama to be honest. Amber pranked Lexy to think he got kidnapped to keep her busy so they could do a royal wedding. Yes an actual royal wedding in a castle.Now the reality had kicked in, I need to go back to Miami. I've tried reaching Laura but she's been unavailable.I don't even know if I should be trusting her, she has never given me a reason to trust her, ever, so why should I believe her this time?I asked Amber about it and, he said he spoke to Luther and the only thing odd that had happened was Owen dying. Amber said he asked Luther if I was safe now that he was back in the game and Luther said I was, that there's nothing out of the ordinary happening right now.He's just trying to find Owen's killers.Amber told Luther about the people that came to my house that evening and investigation was carried out and apparently, there was a Halloween party happening down the street and some teenage boys did mess around the neighborhood that evening.I
"What?""Yeahh, I've been hearing rumors of it, but I didn't think it was true, I was doing low-key investigations though, didn't want to tell you about it because I didn't want you to feel insecure or anything"."Amber, my house was surrounded by armed men few days ago, they left immediately they realized I was watching them and one of them gave me a sign that he was going to kill me, of course I'm going to be insecure about it.""Are you serious? why didn't you let anyone know?"."I called the police, they said they'll be high on alert, plus I told my boss and he said I could stay in one of his private houses until everything cleared up"."Ivy you need to be careful, okay? I don't know what's going on in particular and why they're after you but I'm going to contact Luther and let him know".Then I remembered what Laura had said."No no ... don't tell Luther, don't "."Why not?"."I don't think I can trust him anymore, I don't think I can trust anyone at the moment "."Ivy it's Luthe
IVY **I was scared as fuck, but Laura didn't look like she was playing when she told me to get into the car. I would have refused honestly, but two days ago, I spotted suspicious activities around my house, and I haven't been sleeping there at all. I told my boss about it and he said I could be staying in one of his private houses for a while until everything had cleared up.I only got back today to get more of my clothes and make dinner and leave.Now We're in front of the airport. "Laura you need to calm the fuck down and talk to me, what's going on? the last time you said I was unsafe being around the Cowper's and two days ago, some men with weapons surrounded my house surveying the place until I had to call the police, so please, you need to tell me what is going on".She looked at me for what looked like hours."Go to this side of the airport, you'll see a Cowper airplane, it's a private jet, tell them you're Ivy Cowper, unfortunately they know you with that name, they'll con
LAURA*Martins slammed my head in the desk, choking me tightly and I swear he was going to kill me.What is with these Cowper men and always choking me?"Martins, please", I begged."You fucken told Ivy to about me? are you out of your god-damn mind? are you insane!", he barked."You're choking me... please stop", I begged running out of breath."Do you know you're sabotaging our entire plan!", he screamed."Martins let her go I'll deal with it", My mother said coming from the kitchen with a bottle of champagne.He looked me dead in the eyes with fury and then slammed my head on the table again and let me go.I collapsed on the floor, breathless. I had a cut close to my eye brow, I was bleeding."Mom... you just sat there and watched him almost kill me?", I sobbed.What is this woman turning into? isn't she the same person that swore she'll always have my back?"If we're being honest, if you weren't my daughter I'd instruct him to kill you. Why would you do that? Ivy is clearly the o

Why would you do that? Ivy is clearly the o
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
