IVORY’s POV

I could barely taste the food, but at least one of us was having a good time.

The drive back home was silent, and weighing on me heavier than I expected.

As the day progressed, my breathe grew even narrower.

What if I got caught and I really didn't come back alive?

Would anyone mourn my death? Knowing the answer to that question made this mission even harder.

But I had to give it a try and I swear, I wouldn't look back when I finally gained my freedom out of this beautiful hellhole.

As the sun began to set, I became more and more determined to come out successful.

I stood in front of my mirror, scanning my reflection.

"There's nothing you can't do, Ivory. You can do it!"

On the other hand, scary man had a refined taste in clothes.

I wore a deep, striking red dress that clung to my curves.

The sides were bare, giving a seducing view of my boobs. It was meant to draw attention and turn heads when I arrived at the party.

I took a deep breath and adjusted the silver bracelet on my wrist.

Willis stopped when I stepped out of the room. His eyes filled with warmth as his gaze hovered on my body.

Together, we went over to where the squad was gathered.

As scary man addressed me with the dos and don’ts for the umpteenth time, Willis kept darting his eyes in my direction.

Unease crept into my mind as I stood there wondering why he had his eyes on me.

After scary man was done, Willis whispered in his ears, before approaching me.

"I don't think you'll come out alive," he said,

his voice low and smooth.

"That helps a lot, thank you," I replied, my tone

dripping with both sarcasm and apprehension.

Willis smiled wryly, and continued, "But at least, this wristwatch will let us know where to pick up your dead body."

I took the watch from him, trying to ignore the shiver that ran through me.

Slowly, I approached scary man and spoke.

"You promise, after this one time, I'm free of the said debts?"

He watched as I walked towards the car and I swear, as the door came shut, I saw concern in his eyes.

The party was held in a sprawling mansion in the outskirts of the city, a place that smelled wealth and power.

As I arrived, the valet held my door open and I stepped out, my high heels clicking against the marble floor.

Once I stepped in, I recognized all the faces Willis had made me memorize.

"Faces recognized," I muttered with gritted teeth,

"But how do I befriend a bunch of wealthy drunk old men?"

I exhaled softly and willed myself to be focused.

Swaying to the soft music playing in the background, I mingled through the crowd with the most charming smile I could muster.

It didn't take long before I was noticed.

A senior border officer approached me with a glass of salt rimmed cocktail, introducing himself as Sean.

"Hey you..." He gnarled in a way I suppose he

meant to flirt.

I tucked my disgust away and smiled along. He wasn't on my list but it was good to start from somewhere.

Our conversations went from mundane nonsense to disgusting flirty rubbish. Still, I maintained my smile.

"I like you, Yvette, let me introduce you to a few friends and then we can ditch this party. What do you say?"

"Yes, yes," I smiled, "Let's do that."

Fingers intertwined with the sweaty drunk man; we were standing before a man named Ambassador Albert, a man whose profile was stored in my brain, thanks to Willis.

"Have you met my friend, Ambassador? She's a big fan."

"A fan?" Ambassador Albert scoffed, "What am I, a musician?"

"No Sir,” I replied quickly. “But your family is one of the few families who fought for the retention of our borders in the early 70s, and not only that, you fought for women to be equally protected by this Nation's fundamental human rights.

In my opinion you're more than a musician, you are a hero, and a legend."

Ambassador Albert's hardened gaze gradually softened into a smile as he rose towards me.

I bowed politely to show my most humble respect and that did the work.

I was passed from Officer Sean to Ambassador Albert.

"Do you... this might be too bold," I smiled,

tucking my hair behind my ear, "Do you want to please talk to me about how one man could accomplish so much?"

"Oh yea, yes," he said, completely lost in my

eyes.

What I didn't expect was Ambassador Albert's request to follow him to his hotel room. But I was yet to receive the main detail so I crossed my fingers and took a gulp before answering, "Honored."

Minutes turned to hours, as we cozied up in his hotel room.

He spoke about his past glory at length and I could feel my faux mask crumbling

by the second.

Mindlessly, I blurted out. "It's too bad that you're missing in action now when our country needs intelligent people to make tough

decisions about the border security. None of the leaders now have as much

experience as you."

Ambassador Albert paused, and in that one second, my heart sank to my stomach. Is this the moment I'll die? Did I slip up? Have I been

caught?

"Young woman," he began, his voice low and

serious. "You're smarter than your age."

I exhaled in relief.

"You know recently," He began.

At that moment, I knew I had won. This was the moment I was looking for. I turned on the recorder attached to my hair clutch and Ambassador Albert whispered just the secret I needed for my freedom.

My heart raced with both excitement and relief as I made my way to the exit after a long night.

Unexpectedly, my phone rang, startling the shit out of me.

It was an unrecognized number but I could guess who it was.

"What's the status?" Scary Man's voice echoed through the phone.

"Successful, sir." I answered triumphantly.

"Your location shows Sheraton Hotels. Stay right there, I'm coming to get you."

I glanced at the time displayed on my screen, 1:13am had to be my happiest time of this week.

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Pet   A Month after.

    A Month after. Ivory woke to a house that didn’t feel like it was holding its breath.Sunlight streamed through pale linen curtains, warm and welcoming. Somewhere in the distance, birds were arguing with squirrels, and someone—probably the butler—was humming off-key to himself. The air carried no tension, no sense of urgency. Just… ease.She rubbed her eyes, stretched, and padded barefoot down the hall. Her robe hung loose around her as she moved, hair still mussed from sleep. She expected to find Arlo and Marvin at the breakfast table—maybe scrambled eggs and too much juice, maybe a quiet morning with a crossword puzzle half-solved and a warm cup of coffee waiting.What she didn’t expect—Was noise. Laughter. The low hum of conversations and music. Voices she didn’t recognize.She turned the corner—and froze.The dining room, the hallway, the entire open floor plan had been transformed. Balloons floated from every corner, soft gold and ivory tones. Flowers—fresh, wild, sun-drenched—

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Pet   Mini you

    There was something strange about returning to Oviedo.Ivory felt it the moment they crossed the county line—the way the wind shifted, softer somehow, the way the sky looked flatter, more forgiving. The roads curved like they were remembering her. But nothing else did.The house was still white with olive-green shutters, still hidden behind an overgrown fence and a rusted gate Arlo never bothered to replace. But it was quieter now. No voices barking orders. No men in tailored suits leaning against blacked-out cars. No weapons tucked beneath armrests.Just birds. Just wind. Just… peace.Ivory stood on the porch longer than she meant to, Marvin’s small hand gripped in hers. The boy vibrated with curiosity, tugging toward the door like it held magic.“You used to live here?” he asked.She nodded. “Just before you were born...”Now? It was something else. Not better. Not worse. Just… changed.Inside, the air smelled different too. Less like cigar smoke and steel polish, more like laundry

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Pet   Under the cactus pot

    Willis didn’t mean to go back that soon.He told himself he’d wait until Friday. Give it a few days. Let things settle. But the quiet in his apartment stretched too wide, and the idea of her—the chaos of her, the warmth—was louder than his self-control.So on Wednesday evening, just after dark, he found himself outside her door.He hadn’t even texted.The spare key was exactly where she said it would be, tucked beneath a tiny cactus in a blue ceramic pot. He hesitated only a second before using it.The apartment smelled like incense and lemon, soft and lived-in. Jazz was playing from a speaker in the kitchen—Coltrane, maybe. Something that meandered, low and longing.“Hey,” she called from down the hall, casual, like she’d known he’d show up. “You’re early.”Willis smiled to himself and slipped off his coat. “I’m always early. I just never show it.”Liv walked into his view in nothing but a robe and that lazy, dangerous smirk he was already addicted to. Her eyes dragged over him like

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Pet   Trauma sex appeal

    Willis woke up with sunlight in his eyes and a soft ache in his body.The sheets around him were tangled, still warm from where she’d been. Liv was gone. The room hummed with leftover heat and echoes—clothes scattered like evidence, air thick with the scent of last night.For a moment, he didn’t move. He just stared at the ceiling, trying to remember the exact moment her mouth met his throat, the way her laugh caught in her chest right before she whispered his name into his skin.His heart thudded, not from regret—but from a low, humming awareness of how long it had been since he felt anything that close to pleasure. Since he stopped performing, and just wanted.There was music playing from somewhere in the apartment—soft, old soul, Marvin Gaye or something close. The scent of coffee drifted under the door, warm and grounding. It could have been romantic, if either of them were in the mood for that kind of lie.He sat up and found his shirt slung across the lamp.When he walked out, s

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Pet   Liv

    Willis hadn’t meant to go out.He’d planned on staying in, maybe working through the stack of unread books on his coffee table or reorganizing the spice rack he didn’t really use. But the apartment felt too still, the kind of quiet that echoed. And he couldn’t stop wondering what Ivory was doing.So he went out. Just for a drink. Just to prove to himself that he still knew how to be in the world.The bar wasn’t loud, which helped. Exposed brick, amber lighting, and something soft playing through overhead speakers. A woman in the corner was reading a poetry book aloud, half to herself, half to a man who looked smitten.Willis chose a spot at the bar. Ordered something smoky, which he didn’t finish. He scrolled through his phone out of habit. No messages. Nothing from Ivory. Not that he expected it.Still.She was everywhere. In the way he glanced at the door like she might walk in. In the way his chest tightened when someone laughed in a way that almost sounded like her.He closed his

  • The Billionaire’s Wrong Pet   Where it all began

    Arlo didn’t ask anything else.He waited at his door in sweatpants and a tee, like he hadn’t expected her but had been waiting all the same.Ivory stood in his hallway, arms wrapped around herself, barely breathing.He opened the door wider.She stepped inside.The apartment smelled like cinnamon and coffee—something warm. Something safe.He didn’t touch her.She didn’t ask him to.They sat on the couch like they were made of glass, the silence stretching out, comfortable and impossible.Ivory stared at the floor.“I saw him,” she finally said. Her voice was thin, papery.“I know,” Arlo said softly.She looked up.He hesitated. Then reached for his phone on the coffee table, turned it so she could see the screen. A message was still open.Willis: Take care of her. Don’t hurt her again.Beneath it, another.Willis: You got what I wanted. Please make it worth it.Ivory blinked. “He texted you?”Arlo nodded. “About an hour ago.”Her throat burned. “Did you reply?”“No.” He set the phone
