Hi, My lovely readers! This chapter was longer than usual — I had to deliver the full heat in one piece! 😈🔥😂
~IvyEthan’s lips were impossible to resist—hot, hungry, and tasting so fcking sweet* I thought I’d drown in them. His kiss deepened, his hand sliding up to cradle my face as his body pressed into mine. For the first time, I didn’t dodge him. I wanted more… so much more.His palm drifted lower, gripping my a$$ with a firm, possessive squeeze that made me gasp softly into his mouth. My heart pounded as his lips trailed down to my neck, the heat of his breath making my knees weak. Each slow kiss there sent shivers through me, each graze of his teeth leaving my thoughts tangled.I clung to his collar like it was the only thing keeping me grounded, lost in the rush of his touch, the sound of his breathing, the low rumble in his throat.He tilted my head back, his lips brushing my ear. “I love you, Ivy,” he whispered, the words rough and dripping with desire.The tip of his tongue traced along my ear, so soft yet so deliberate, and a moan slipped from my lips before I could stop it. “I lov
~IvyIt was a good thing Ethan was finally discharged from the hospital. There had been nothing wrong with him in the first place, but I had wanted him to stay there a little longer — far away from his endless work at the office. Ethan worked like a machine, and even in his rare moments of free time, he insisted on joining me in investigating Old Mrs. Mehra’s death. The fire incident had given me the perfect excuse to keep him in the hospital a while more, free from office duties.Tonight was supposed to be Mrs. Mehra’s welcome-back party. According to the email I’d received, I was invited to take my position as CEO of WASTON Group. But I wasn’t ready to claim that role yet. So, I’d simply attend the event as Ivy Moore — assistant to the unknown CEO of WASTON Group.I was still in my room, getting ready for the evening. Night had fallen, and in thirty minutes, the party would officially begin. My gown — a flawless, expensive piece — hugged me perfectly, and the stylist had crafted a n
~IVYI squinted my eyes right after Rach told me to check my email. From the tone of her voice, I could already sense this wasn’t some ordinary business update. It felt more serious—too serious—so I didn’t waste a second. I launched my email application at once.I scrolled to the top, expecting something urgent. But nothing. No new message. No notification. No red dot.“What the hell?” I muttered under my breath, rolling my eyes in confusion. “What other email could she be talking about if not this one?” I mean, this is the only email account I have. So, why is there nothing here?“What’s going on, Ivy?” Ethan’s voice cut through the silence, pulling my attention back to him. “You’ve been acting weird since that call. So tell me—what’s wrong? Who was that, and what did they want?”I walked closer to the hospital bed he was lying on, frustration tightening my jaw. I kissed my teeth sharply and refreshed my inbox again—probably for the tenth time.“Remember when I told you this case was
~ IvyWith my mind still spinning from unanswered questions, I gripped the earring tightly and stepped out of the building.I wished Raphael's soul would finally rest in peace. After all the torment he endured, did he really have to die like that—so suddenly, so unfairly?I felt sorry for him. I had other plans for Raphael. I thought that once he finally revealed who sent him to keep the truth buried, I’d be able to act. I’d be able to fix things.But now, that hope was gone.That night dragged on, haunted by a thousand racing thoughts—each one a what-if.What if Cameil had someone tailing me?What if she’d already sent someone after Raphael’s family?What if she had other plans for him all along? Sinister ones?I couldn’t shake any of it from my mind, no matter how hard I tried.Deep down, I knew—Cameil had a hand in this. One way or another, she was involved in that crime.****The next morning, the servants had already cleaned the room and laid out breakfast on the dining table.“D
~Ivy “Raph.. Raphael!” I said coldly. My voice wasn't even audible because I just watched the only link connecting to Old Mrs Sylvie's death die right before my own very eyes. I turned back quickly to catch a glimpse of who the person was but there was no body there. The exit part was all cleared. NOBODY was there. My men ran there to confirm but they couldn't see anybody. As Raphael's body drained with blood, Rach approached me. “Stop all these Ivy, you are not the killer. You didn't kill Raphael, okay?” She said to me, holding me firmly. I sniffled, pointing at him. “But I almost killed him! I almost killed someone today because of my thirst for vengeance. What if I had killed him, Rach? What if I had…” Rach shut my mouth with her hand. “What are you saying, Ivy?” She yelled. “Don't say such things with your mouth. Is this the time to act smart and not to cry? Raphael's death could be the link we need to get new evidence against that Cameil. Because I'm a hundred per c
~Ivy “Ivy?” Rach asked, eyes bulging out. “You mean Cameil was the person who took the autopsy results from you? But why will Cameil take the autopsy? Could it be that she has…” Rach paused, moving her hand to cover her mouth. I already knew what she was about to say so I nodded. “That's exactly my thoughts, Rach. Why exactly did Cameil steal the autopsy results from me? I think the whole thing is making sense now!” “I mean, starting from seeing her in the pathological department. To her lie that she came for a pregnancy test. Everything now makes sense, Rach! Cameil has ulterior motives against that result. And my instincts warned me about this!” Rach nodded in agreement. She leaned closer, her voice low. “So, what do we do now, Ivy? We need to track down what reason Cameil has for stealing the autopsy results. I mean we should connect all the dots properly. It could be that she doesn't want us to learn the truth. Either she is protecting someone or she is protecting herself!”
