Beneath His Rules 45
Ivy’s Pov He didn’t say anything, just looked at me. His eyes were all intense, like he was trying to figure me out. I hated how much I liked it when he looked at me like that. It made my stomach do weird flips. “You didn’t have to do it,” I said. “I didn’t ask you to.” “I know,” he said. “But I had to. I couldn’t let him walk away.” I shook my head. “You don’t get it. I don’t want you fighting my battles.” “I’m not,” he said, his voice getting sharp too. “I’m fighting with you.” I laughed again, but it came out more like a sob. “With me? You didn’t even tell me!” “Ivy,” he said, grabbing my arms. Not hard, but enough to make me stop. “I’m sorry. Okay? I messed up.” I pulled away, but not far. “You don’t get to decide what I need,” I said. “I’m not a kid.” “I know you’re not,” he said. He was so close now, I could feel his breath. “I see you, Ivy. I see how strong you are.” “Then why’d you do it?” I asked, my voice breaking. I hated that I was crying now. “Why didn’t you t

Ivy's pov The room was dead quiet now. Mr Carter was staring at his folder. The lady was writing something on her clipboard. I felt like I was gonna throw up. I wanted to scream at all of them, but I was so tired. Tired of fighting, tired of remembering. “Ivy,” Mr Carter said, “we can’t undo what happened, but we can hold him accountable. Your testimony could..” “I don’t care,” I cut him off. “I’m done talking about it. You wanna do something? Fire him. Put him in jail. I don’t need to be here for that.” I grabbed my bag and started for the door. Dominic moved like he was gonna follow me, but I shot him a look. “Don’t,” I said. He stopped. I walked out, my heart hammering. The hallway was blurry, and I realized I was crying. I wiped my face fast, not wanting anyone to see. I got to the elevator and hit the button, my hands shaking so bad I could barely press it. When I got outside, the air hit me like a slap. I stood there, breathing hard, trying to figure out what just happene

Ivy's pov I was sitting in my room, scrolling through my phone, when it buzzed with a text from a number I didn’t know. It said I had to be at some law office downtown the next day at 10 a.m. for a meeting about the professor. My stomach twisted hard. I read it again, like maybe I got it wrong. A meeting? With who? I didn’t ask for this. I threw my phone on the bed and stared at the ceiling. My heart was pounding, and I didn’t even know why. I thought about telling Dominic, but he’d been weird lately. Like, he was all protective one second, then acting like he didn’t want to talk the next. I didn’t get him. I grabbed my phone again and stared at the text. It said “formal meeting,” “school board,” and “lawyer.” What the heck? I was expelled. Why were they dragging me into this now? I wanted to scream, but I just sat there, my hands shaking. I didn’t sleep much that night. I kept thinking about the professor, his gross hands, the way he smirked when he thought he’d won. I hated h

Dominic’s pov I found Ivy’s mum in the west wing living room. She was on a low velvet couch, drinking wine and reading a magazine about famous people. The room was too big and too quiet. She looked up when I walked in, but she didn’t smile. She just looked annoyed that I was there. I walked over to the glass coffee table and placed my hands on it, leaning over slightly. I didn’t sit. I wanted this to feel like a meeting she couldn't escape. "We need to talk," I said. My voice was calm, which always made people nervous. She set the magazine down slowly. "About what, Dominic? The market? Because I told you to sell that property in Miami weeks ago." "It's about the house," I said. "And the people in it." She finally looked up at me, her eyes narrowed. "What are you talking about? Is it Ivy again?” "It's about you," I corrected her. "And the man you brought into this house recently." The color left her face for a second. It was a fast, shocking change, like a light being switche

Ivy's pov I was in my bed, but I couldn't sleep. The sheets were twisted around my legs, and my heart hammered in my chest. All the noise from the last few days, Theo’s disgusting attitude, my constant sex moments with Dominic, my mom’s mess, was finally catching up. I rolled onto my side and stared at the window. My room was on the second floor, but the house was old, and the yard was dark. The trees and bushes were thick. It felt like anyone could be out there, watching. Then I heard it. A quiet, scraping sound. It was the sound of something dragging against the rough stone near the base of the house. I froze. I stopped breathing, trying to figure out what it was. A branch? An animal? No, that wasn't an animal. That was slow, deliberate movement. Someone was moving quietly in the dark. I heard a small, distinct crunch. Like a shoe stepped on the gravel pathway that ran right under my window. My blood turned to ice. It had to be the person who left the note, they were back.
Beneath His Rules 40
Dominic's pov A few days later, I was downstairs in the kitchen, making a cup of coffee that tasted like burnt gasoline. It was seven in the morning, and the silence of the house was quiet. I poured the coffee and turned around to leave, but Theo was standing in the doorway, leaning against the frame like he owned the place. He was in a fresh t-shirt, looking completely rested, too rested. "Morning, Uncle Dom," he said, pushing off the door. He didn't sound like he meant it. "Go back to bed, Theo," I said, walking toward the pantry. "Nah, I'm up," he replied, following me like a shadow. "Couldn't sleep, actually. This place is too exciting these days." I pulled out a box of granola bars, trying to ignore him. "What's that supposed to mean?" He chuckled, a low, annoying sound. "It means the house has a new vibe. Since Ivy got back, the air is thick. You can almost cut it with a knife." I put the granola bars on the counter and finally looked at him. My jaw was already tight,
