Ivory's POV

Hours had passed since we took off in Tristan's private jet. Boredom started to settle in from just sitting there. I glanced over at him, immersed in his laptop, seemingly oblivious to my restlessness. I watched him captivated by his focus.

"What's up, Ivory?" he asked, catching me staring.

"Nothing," I replied, but he pressed on.

"You can talk to me about anything bothering you." he encouraged, his tone warm.

Curiosity piqued my interest. "What do you actually do?"

"Do you really want to know what I do?" he shot back, raising an eyebrow with a hint of amusement.

"Yes," I answered, eager to know.

"Okay," he began, his voice turning serious "I'm a mafia leader. I deal with drugs, ammunition, meetings, and casinos. I run a black empire. I juggle a lot of work, you know?" He paused, clearly impressed.

Wow, this guy is a workaholic, I thought to myself. "Okay," I said, processing his words.

I let out a yawn, only to feel the chair shift backwards unexpectedly, making me pa

    Ivory's POVI opened my eyes to find the room dimming, darkness settling in. Tristan had stayed home today. He had been right there with me throughout the day; I remembered how he offered comfort, even when my mind spiraled with worries about the baby, he was there. His words of support lingered in my mind. I couldn't help but giggle, wondering if it was just the pregnancy hormones messing with me."Hey, Elijah. How's everything?" I heard his voice, and a twinge of sadness hit me. I felt guilty knowing I had kept him from going to work today. Just then, the door swung open, and Tristan stepped in."Ivory, you're awake!" he said, looking tired as he walked closer. "I was just about to wake you up.""I just woke up," I replied. He settled beside me on the bed, pulling me against his chest."Feeling better?" he asked gently."Yeah," I nodded."That's good," he said, running his finger through my long hair, his touch soothing. "Seeing you like this really breaks my heart. I hope you feel

    Tristan's POV"Good morning, Mr. Black. So glad to see you!" Dr. Clarke greeted with a warm smile."Yeah," I replied, glancing at Ivory, who sat next to me. "This is Ivory, my wife. We're here for a pregnancy test.""Oh!" Her eyes widened in surprise. "Okay, Mrs. Black, please follow me for some tests."I noticed Ivory's nervousness. Her palm was sweaty, so I reached for her hand and squeezed it gently. "It'll be fine," I reassured her. She managed a small smile and stood to follow Dr. Clarke.A little while later, Ivory returned, adjusting her clothes. She sat back down next to me, still looking anxious. I turned to her. "Ivory, what's wrong?" I asked, wrapping my arm around her."Nothing," she said, nodding her head. Just as I was about to speak again, Dr. Clarke walked in.She sat at her desk, looked at us, and said, "The test results are in." Her gaze was serious. "Mr. and Mrs. Black, congratulations! Your wife is two weeks pregnant." She smiled brightly.Looking at Ivory, Dr. Cla

    Tristan's POVMy grip clenched tight on the steering wheel as frustration coursed through me. I had apologized to Ivory, genuinely apologized, but she still wouldn't budge. My anger simmered. When I told Elijah everything, he just laughed. "Let her be," he said. "She needs time. She'll come around."She'd better come around. If she ever thought for a second I'd let her leave, she was wrong. That was a lie. I didn't care what it cost, even if I had to act more aggressively to keep her, as long as she stayed. The thought of going home, knowing she wouldn't even look at me, made my jaw clench. I had no idea what to do to fix this.I wrestled the car into the garage. The tires screeched. I killed the engine, opened the door, and stomped inside.Then I saw her. Ivory, crumpled on the floor. She was sobbing, hard. My anger flared even more. Had something happened to her? Did someone hurt her? I rushed to her. "Ivory!" I pulled her up, holding her body in place. "What happened? What's wrong

  • CAGED BY HIM   Chapter Thirty-Nine

    Ivory’s POVMy head pounded, and my whole body ached as if I had run a marathon and then been hit by a truck. Getting up from bed felt impossible. I was just so weak.Glancing beside me, Tristan wasn't in the room. Clara still hadn't returned back to the house yet. A wave of loneliness washed over me and my eyes started to sting with tears. Who could I even call?After a moment, my phone buzzed loudly right next to me. I hoped it was Tristan. I reached for it, slowly.My heart sank a bit when I saw it was Stella.I weakly picked it up. Her loud, energetic voice boomed through the phone. "Babes!" she chirped, sounding super happy."S-S-Stella," I croaked. My voice was barely there.She immediately noticed my tone. "Is everything okay? Are you fine?" she asked, her voice softening now."No. Please, can you come?" I managed, my voice completely drained."Yes. I will be there now," she said. The call ended. A huge wave of relief washed over me. Someone was coming.Hours dragged on, and I

  • CAGED BY HIM   Chapter Thirty-Eight

    Tristan’s POVI was so angry yesterday, Ivory had rejected me when I tried to make love to her. She turned me down. My anger boiled. No one, not a single woman had ever turned me down like that before. No one made me feel this way.I thought allowing her and Stella out yesterday, would make her feel less hurt by whatever I did to her, maybe. Isn't that what women like? Being "spoiled"? I felt deep annoyance, a fury burning inside me. I stormed into the office. "Tristan!" I heard Elijah call my name, but I ignored him. I was too frustrated to reply. I walked right into my office.A few minutes later, the door swung open. Elijah's voice sounded annoyed. "Tristan, I've been calling... Oh," then he stopped when he saw my face. "What's wrong?" He walked over and dropped into the chair across from me. "Tell me. What did you do this time? Because I know only Ivory can mess you up like this."I stared at him, my gaze cold. "What do you mean, 'did this time'?" I snapped "What happened?" he
