Ivy“I’m sorry about last night. I was in a hurry because the guys were waiting on me.” I wanted Leah to think I was genuinely sorry for blowing her off so she would open up to me.“It’s ok. You have a life and you’re not always available to talk and I know the Ronan Twins don’t tell you everything.” “You’re right, they don’t tell me everything and it sucks. They want me to be an equal partner but treat me like I’m lesser than them.”“It’s the male mentality. They grew up being taught women were deceiving and lesser, so it’ll take some time to break.”“Do you want to go for a walk in the garden?”“Sure.” Leah’s mood was sad. It was easy to tell she wasn’t ok.We took our time getting to the gardens, walking in silence. I didn’t want to start any conversation with her while we were roaming the house. There could be someone listening, and I didn’t want to ruin my chance to figure out what was going on with her.“It’s pretty out here, isn’t it?” Leah asked“It is. I hate that we were n

Ivy“Are you sure they’re ok with this?”“Yes. They insisted I take you to congratulate you.”“Do they know who the father is?”“No. I didn’t tell them that part. It’s none of their business. You’ll tell them when you want them to know.”I hate lying, especially to a friend, but I’m not sure we can trust her, so it’s for the best.“I feel bad.”“Leah, let us do this for you. You’re not the only one picking things out. I need something for our baby, too.”“It’s not the same. They’re the father. I’m just the house servant who fucked their father.”“What else is bothering you? I feel like this is just the icing on the cake, and you’re angry about something else.”“Of course, I’m angry about other things. I’m carrying the child of a man who is going to die. I have no support and no idea what I’m going to do about my life.”“You have me for support and once Maddox and Maverick know they’ll support you, too. They’re not horrible people. You are family now and have nothing to worry about. Le

MaddoxWhen we got back to the house, I was happy to find out that Ivy made it home, but I was a little disappointed that she was taking a nap. I wanted to talk to her and spend time with her. I needed her after seeing my father.She looked peaceful sleeping in her bed. Her stomach was still small enough that it allowed her to sleep on it with her arms under the pillow. Her lips were slightly parted, and she was making small snoring noises.I walked into her room and stripped to my underwear and climbed into bed next to her, pulling her close to me.“What are you doing?” Her voice was quiet and sleepy.“I’m spending time with you. Go back to sleep.”Instead of going back to sleep, she rolled over and scooted closer to me. She laid her head on my shoulder and nestled her face into my neck.“You always smell good.”“It’s always good to know that I smell good. How did today go?”“Leah is afraid of being alone, and I think it’s going to make her help your father if she finds away.”I was

Ivy“It’s time to wake up. Ivy, I need you to wake up so you can get ready for dinner.”I was confused at first because that voice didn’t belong to Maddox.“Maverick?”“Come on, sleepyhead. I promised Maddox that I would have you up in enough time for dinner.”“What are you doing here?”“I’ve been with you for the last hour and a half. I wanted to spend some time with you.”“You should have woken me up,” I said as I raised my arms above my head to stretch.“I knew you needed sleep; you’ve been exhausted lately.”“I’m always tired. This pregnancy is taking all of my energy. Do I really need to leave the bed?”“You need to eat.”Maverick was propped on his elbow, looking down at me, and I couldn’t help but stare at his face. Both men were very attractive, but their prominent features were different. Maddox has piercing green eyes and Maverick has full, beautiful lips.“Kiss me,” I demanded.Maverick furrowed his eyebrows before bending down and capturing my lips with his. I wrapped my a

Maddox“Where did this come from?”“I don’t know, sir. The doorbell rang and when I answered the door, this box was the only thing in sight.”The box was slightly bigger than the palm of my hand and it contained a small doll with a knife through its stomach. and the note under the doll threatened Ivy and our baby’s life.“Read the note again,” Maverick demanded.“Risking two lives in one, you better be careful because soon you’ll have none,” I read out in anger. I was tired of seeing the note and looking at this doll and I wanted to kill the person who sent this.“Do you know who would have sent it?” Colin asked.“The Delaney Family. Our father had a deal with them and now that he isn’t in power, they can’t get what they want.”“He warned us about this,” Maverick stated.“It’s only a threat. Nothing has happened. We need to be prepared. Ivy is to not be alone. If she wants to go out, she takes people with her. Is that understood?”I looked at the people in the room that supported us,

Maverick“They should have been back by now.”“I know, neither Ivy nor Damien are answering their phones now.”“Do you think something happened?” I asked Maddox.“I don’t know. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Ivy was ignoring my call earlier and Damien is driving.”Before I could tell Maddox that Damien would still answer Colin came running into the room.“You’re needed in the kitchen. Damien was just thrown out of a car at the gate, and we brought him. He was beaten badly.”Maddox and I ran to the kitchen, hoping Damien could tell us what happened. He was slumped over a chair with blood dripping from his mouth.“What the fuck happened?” I yelled.“I was blindsided, and they took Ivy and her mother.”“How took them?” Maddox asked.“Delaney,” he coughed out. “He said you have two days to hand over your father and to turn everything over to him.”“Shit,” I mumbled out. “Did he say anything about sending us a warning?”Damien shook his head no.“Give Colin the location of where you wer

Maddox“Did you find anything?”My voice sounded anxious, and I was internally panicking. We do not know where Ivy is, and we need to get to her before anything happens to her or the baby.“We found the car that took them, and we followed it on street cameras until it turned on county road 142.”“Did you get a license plate?”“Yes, but the address is a warehouse that we already had some of our men check. The warehouse was empty and abandoned.”I have to remind myself that Colin is doing everything he can. It’s hard to sit back when I don’t know what is happening to Ivy.“Has Damien said anything else about what happened? Did they give him a meeting location?”“No, he tells us the same thing over and over.”“Have you traced either of their phones?”“Yes, and location services are blocked. We can’t trace either cell phone.”I should have called her sooner. I should have told her to take someone else with them. This is all our fault for not protecting her better. We knew she would never

Ivy“Dad?”“I know this is a shock, but I have to get you out of here before they find you.”“Does mom know you’re here alive?”“She does. It’s why Israel removed her from the room. She has been with me.”“Are you working for him?”“It’s a long story and we have to keep moving, so come on.”I don’t want to leave. I want to know more about my father and why he is here, and why he is working for Israel.“I’m not leaving until I get some answers. I thought you were dead. I’ve spent most of my life missing you. We even had a funeral for you.”“I know, but it was the only way to keep you safe and your mother safe.”“Why are you working for him?”My father let out a sigh while whipping the sweat off his forehead.“He’s your uncle.”“So, mom knew him from the start? Is that why she was calm and knew he wouldn’t do anything?”“Yes, and it’s why he won’t do anything to you unless you cross him, and I know you. You are going to save the Ronan boys.”“I love them. Of course, I’m going to try. I
