IVY’S POV

The rumors about the Lush club were true.

Massive crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a dazzling glow over walls covered in dark velvet. Shifting neon lights pulsed to the heavy, bass-heavy music.

Upstairs, exclusive VIP balconies with sleek glass railings overlooked the main floor. It was there the city's billionaires lounged on plush leather couches, looking down at the rest of the crowd.

It was really a place reserved for only the city’s top one percent.

  • I’m Yours, Mr. Blackwood   HOLD ON TO THIS

    IVY’S POVMy mind went back to that poor woman and her daughter. Despite the cruel loss of her husband and son, she still had a bright spirit.“I feel so bad for all of them. Their only crime was falling in love.”“Tell me about it. I didn’t even know how to react after reading the note on the day she died. But in the end, I decided to forgive her because it wasn’t her fault. Her parents were demons,” he admitted.The anger beneath his words was impossible to miss.“Yes. Why would they put their own daughter through all that? Where was their conscience?” I asked, my voice trembling with disbelief.Damien’s jaw tightened as he stared at the floor for a moment.“That’s why I hate them more than anything. The Sinclairs are the most heartless people on earth. I just wish she had come to me instead of bearing all this. I would have helped her and Patrick,” he replied.“She was probably scared you would judge her,” I offered softly.“Yeah, I understand,” he murmured.I looked down at Serena

  • I’m Yours, Mr. Blackwood   THE LIFE OF SERENA (2)

    IVY’S POVSERENA’S SUICIDE NOTEDear Damien,By the time you’re reading this, I’m already gone.I could have left this world without explaining anything, but I feel like you deserve to know the truth because you are a good person.And just like me, you never wanted any of this, but we were both unfortunate enough to be born into inconsiderate families who cared more about their reputation than our happiness.There is something I should have told you from the very beginning of this marriage.I had a lover.His name was Patrick Miller.Patrick and I had been in love since we were children. He was the son of our family’s gardener, and my parents never believed someone like him was good enough for me.When they discovered that we were together, they fired his father and did everything they could to push Patrick out of my life.But they couldn’t take him out of my heart.We continued seeing each other in secret, and when my parents discovered that I was still secretly visiting him, they ki

  • I’m Yours, Mr. Blackwood   I HAD TO TELL YOU.

    IVY’S POV“Oh, dear. I’m so glad nothing happened to her,” Mrs. Miller sighed, still looking dreadful.“Me too. You know you can still come and see her, Mrs. Miller,” he reminded her gently. “I don’t know why you keep refusing to do so.”“I will,” she told him with a sigh. “You know your status in society, Damien. I don’t want to draw any attention to you and her. I will see her when the time is right.”“Fine. As you wish.” He threw his hands in surrender, and even I could tell that he’d tried to persuade her to do this countless times.“My beautiful girl.” She turned her attention to me, and my back straightened on its own. “What is your name, dear?”“Ivy. Ivy Hayes.”“Ivy Hayes.” The woman repeated my name with a smile. “One thing I love about Damien is that he has impeccable taste. From Serena to you. Tell me, dear, how did you both meet?”I looked over at Damien for help, but he was playing with Alice, leaving me to handle this conversation with this very curious lady.“Well, I’m

  • I’m Yours, Mr. Blackwood   THE LIFE OF SERENA (1)

    IVY’S POVThe pounding of my heart grew stronger as soon as the car stopped in the driveway.My hand tightened around Damien’s as I leaned closer to the tinted window and looked outside.The street was quiet and run-down, the kind of place where low-income families struggled to make ends meet.“Where is this place?” I muttered, looking around.“Are you scared?” I heard him chuckle beside me.I turned to look at him, not bothering to deny it. “Of course, I’m scared. This place looks so deserted, and it’s also very empty.”If not for the lights turned on in the homes, I wouldn’t have known people lived here.“Don’t be scared, baby. I’m right here to protect you,” he reminded me, planting a kiss on my hand just as Samuel opened the door.“I know, but I’m just concerned. What does this place have to do with Serena?”“You’ll see,” was all he said as he led me out of the car toward a small, white-painted house.I glanced around the quiet surroundings, fighting back a shiver just as Damien p

  • I’m Yours, Mr. Blackwood   I’M DONE FIGHTING IT

    IVY’S POV“What… What are you talking about?” I blinked hard, trying to feign ignorance.“I’m talking about you and Damien.” She chuckled softly. “The way you both stare at each other, I know a couple deeply in love when I see one, and since Damien has decided that it’s you or no one else, I’m happy as long as he’s happy.”I couldn’t even put into words how happy hearing those words from her just made me.For so long, I had wondered whether she would ever accept me. Whether she would continue to see me as someone standing between Damien and the life she had planned for him.Hearing her say those words felt like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.“Is this your way of giving us your blessing?” I teased, earning myself a playful swat to the arm from her.“Yes, silly.” She laughed. “This is my way of saying I will no longer stand in the way of you and Damien. I was too blinded by approval from the public that I didn’t do a proper assessment of Maria Archibald.”I leaned closer to

  • I’m Yours, Mr. Blackwood   HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA

    IVY’S POV“One… Two… Three… Happy birthday, Ava!”Screams filled the hall as Ava blew out the candles on her cake and then cut it with so much excitement that it made me laugh.Cheers erupted around the room, followed by loud clapping and whistles.Someone in the crowd even shouted her name, making Ava throw her head back and laugh.I stood at a corner close to the stage, watching her with a smile.The hall was beautifully decorated and filled with a happy crowd, just like Damien wanted.“I want to celebrate Ava’s birthday in grand style this time because I almost lost her twice,” he’d informed me a day before today, and I was fully in support.Looking at Ava now, surrounded by people who loved her, I knew Damien had made the right decision.Music played softly in the background as guests gathered around the stage, taking pictures and laughing amongst themselves.“Ivy.”I felt my shoulders stiffen as Carolina made her way toward me.This was my first time seeing her after the hospital
