last update Last Updated: 2025-05-22 05:41:21

A SHOCKING REVELATION

Ivy's POV

The note burned in my palm long after Rowan read it.

Don't trust the wrong people. Watch your back.

I barely slept again. I kept playing it over in my mind—who wrote it, who knew where I lived, who was watching me close enough to slide that under my door.

Rowan stayed up too, silent, tense, always glancing toward the windows like he expected someone to come crashing through.

By mid-morning, I was raw. Tired. On edge. And still had to show up at the office like my world wasn’t spinning out of control.

The second I stepped into the building with Rowan by my side, I knew something was off.

I had already told him to go but has been adamant even after he went home for a change of clothes.

The lobby was too quiet. No hum of chatter. No front desk greeting. Just an eerie stillness.

I glanced around. “Where’s Clara?”

Rowan stepped beside me, scanning the space. “You always have someone at the front desk, right?”

“Always.”

    A MOMENT OF VULNERABILITY Ivy’s POV I shut Noah’s bedroom door gently and stood there for a long moment, listening to his soft breathing. His words from earlier still echoed in my head like a song stuck on repeat. Even though it's been hours. “He just wants to be here, Mom. With us. Isn’t that enough?” I wanted to believe it was. But belief didn’t erase the years of silence, the aching questions, or the broken promises that never came with explanations. It didn’t fix the way my heart still clenched when I saw Rowan’s face or how my guard rose the second his name slipped into conversation. Still, something was different now. And I hated that I could feel it. I slept with him after all. I padded back into the living room and sat on the edge of the couch, hugging one of Noah’s throw pillows to my chest. My phone was on the coffee table. I stared at it. Then grabbed it. It took three tries to dial Sarah’s number. My thumb hovered each time like my body was trying to stop me

    ROWAN'S INVESTIGATION Rowan’s POV I didn’t sleep. Not even a second. I left Ivy’s apartment with Noah’s words echoing in my head, ringing louder than the city noise around me. “Prove it.” Three syllables that felt heavier than anything I’d carried in years. And from a little boy for that matter. My son. My only consolation after what went down yesterday, was the fact that my son wanted me. I didn’t blame Ivy for the way she looked at me. Hell, I didn’t even blame her for sending me away. But I wasn’t going to let her walk away without the truth. Not this time. I'm not going to lose her again. I sat in my car outside my place until the sky started to fade into early gray. My knuckles were white on the steering wheel. I stared straight ahead, thinking about Bella, Ethan, and the trail of crap they left behind. I should’ve seen it sooner. I should’ve done something before it touched Ivy and Noah. My phone buzzed. Daniel. Of course he was already working. My assistant had the

    NOAH TAKES A STAND Noah’s POV I was supposed to be asleep. Mom said so, and she tucked me in with her usual kiss on the forehead and soft whisper, “Sweet dreams, baby.” But I wasn’t dreaming. I was wide awake, staring at the ceiling while the shadows on my walls danced from the streetlights outside. Something in her voice felt… sad. Tight, like the way she talks when she’s really worried but tries to pretend she’s not. So I got up. I slid out of bed slowly, my feet making no sound on the carpet, and tiptoed to the door. It was cracked open just a little. I heard voices. Mom and Rowan. At first, it was quiet murmuring, like they were trying not to wake me up. Then it got louder. Sharper. Angry. “Ivy, I’ve already told you what I know.” “Not enough,” she snapped, cutting the distance between them. “You told me you met Bella once. But now the investigation is showing money trails and shared shell companies. You expect me to believe you didn’t know anything?” Rowan exhaled, j

    UNVEILING THE TRUTH Ivy's POV The moment the door to my apartment clicked shut behind us, I dropped my keys on the counter and headed straight for Noah's room. “I need a moment with my son.” After I was sure Noah was fast asleep, I came back to the living room to face him. “Talk,” I said. My voice was steady, but the storm behind it was barely contained. “Right now, Rowan. I want the truth.” He stepped out of his shoes and rubbed the back of his neck, as if that would somehow give him the right words. “Ivy, I’ve already told you what I know.” “Not enough,” I snapped, cutting the distance between us. “You told me you met Bella once. But now the investigation is showing money trails and shared shell companies. You expect me to believe you didn’t know anything?” Rowan exhaled, jaw clenched tight. “I didn’t. I swear to you, Ivy, I didn’t know Bella was behind any of this. I would never—” “Don’t,” I said, lifting a hand between us. “Don’t start with the I’d never hurt you line. B

    MY BROTHER'S RETURN Elara's POV I didn’t sleep through the night as I was very much busy in the arms of a man I had sworn off. But now, he was trying to worm his way back into my life. However, I had to check on my son and give myself a moment to think of my current life choices. I sat on the edge of my bed with my arms wrapped around my knees, staring at my son. Noah slept peacefully, unaware that his world was about to be rocked hard by something I couldn’t name. Rowan sat in the living room. Even though I told him to leave he refused but he didn’t push based on what he told me. He didn’t come into the room. He knew I needed space. And I hated that I appreciated that. My mind drifted back to the words I gifted him: “I’m willing to try this with you once more.” Had I really meant that? I closed my eyes. A ring on the bell made me jolt. I checked the time—7:14 a.m. Then came a knock. I got up, heart already racing again as rushed downstairs after making sure Noah wasn'

    ALL IN Rowan's POV Her laughter still lingered in the air when I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her against me. We were a mess of tangled limbs, breathless, sticky, naked, and draped over the couch like we had nowhere else in the world to be. And for once, we didn’t. I pressed my lips to her temple, inhaling the faint trace of vanilla and sex on her skin. She fit perfectly in my arms, like she was always meant to be there. She sighed, shifting slightly. “This couch is going to need therapy after tonight.” I chuckled, low and deep. “So will I.” If anyone had told me I will be getting laid by Ivy, I would've laughed it off. But here I was on her couch. Late at night and nowhere else to be. She looked up at me, eyes sparkling with mischief and exhaustion. “Too much for you?” “Not even close,” I said, brushing her hair away from her face. “I’ve been starving for you, Ivy. Seven damn years... and now that I have you like this, I’m never letting go.” Her smile falt

    FLUSHED Ivy's POV I was practically lost to the world the moment Rowan put himself in between my legs and began to eat me out. I threw my head back as my fingers fisted his hair, urging him on. Slowly I felt myself building closer and closer to climax. His tongue swirled around my clit, licking, and sucking at it. It nearly drove me insane as I placed my palm over my mouth to stop myself from letting the world know what I was up to. I felt goose bumps all over my body as I grind myself against his face. The stubble on his face scratching the inside of my thighs. The sensation feeding the list I already felt as my legs began to shake around him. “Oh Rowan… please.” I cried unable to control the wanton passion that made my head hazy. I wasn't sure what I was begging him for, but my body was practically sensitive to everything he did and it was practically driving me insane. I didn't remember sex with him being this mind blowing and then the thought of him spending the most part

    A WILD NIGHTRowan's POVThe moment she pulled me close and opened herself more to me, I growled in my throat as I took everything she had to offer in this moment.I've had a lot of fantasies about kissing her like this but none of them came close to the real thing.As the kiss deepened, I framed her face with my hands as our tongues dueled and danced with each other.The sweetness of her mouth making me want to remain pressed to her until we had to break the kiss to get some air.With our foreheads pressed together, I could see the line that the tears scored on her face.With a frown, I began to thumb away the traces as I held her gaze. Without breaking the eye contact, she began to tug at my shirt, pulling it out of the waistband and making a work of the buttons.She pushed the shirt off my shoulders revealing my naked upper body to her as splayed her hands over my skin.My breath hitched as her hands travelled over my chest, as she tugged a little at the hairs there before moving
