Ivyrose’s POV The caramel macchiato’s sweet taste lingered in my mouth long after my last sip and I smiled at Hailey as she said something I wasn't really listening to. The last thing I heard were her theories of why Hudson had ghosted her. I felt slightly guilty for only pretending to listen, but while Christopher and I were 30,000 feet up in the air flying back to the big apple, I promised myself I’d only focus on the good side of everyday life. The only consolation I told myself was that I already advised her to just wait and not worry too much because it's not like he's the only man left on earth and that she was too young to be moping around—she just won't listen. A part of my mind called me a hypocrite because deep inside me, I knew I'd never forget about Gareth nor have I totally forgotten how much I enjoyed spending time with Ricardo in Paris. "Are you even listening to me, boss? You're so sick of me aren't you?" Hailey said, disrupting my thoughts."Yep." I said, chuckling

Christopher’s POVI reread the contract Ricardo and I had. Basically it said after the one night stand he would not have anything to do with Ivyrose and me as long as I was able to pay him the money within a year. It was a good thing the project I funded with that money was going to triple in four months. If not, he was going to tell Ivyrose the secret he used to blackmail me with. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair, untying the elastic band that held it. A headache threatened to erupt at any moment as I rubbed my temples. I thought about that number the guy put in my hands and I took it out of my wallet. Without thinking, I dialed the number with my cellphone. A man’s deep voice with a thick Italian accent said, “Mr. Christopher Standford, I’m glad you decided to call.”“Who is this?”“Hmm Who I am is not important. For now, let’s just say we have a common enemy so this makes us friends.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t have any enemies. And I certainly don’

Christopher’s POV I woke up to Kyle’s smiling face. He sat on my wooden center table and shook his head as I struggled to sit up on the couch. I looked out the window and saw that it was already early morning. Kyle was wearing his running clothes which meant it was probably around 6am. “Good morning, sleepyhead.” “Hey. Ahh." I winced in pain. "Shit. My head is killing me.”“Yup. Drinking all this by yourself would do that. Glad to say you’re still alive.” Kyle picked the empty bottle of Macallan and stood up. I asked him where Lea was and he said he woke her up and told her to take the day off because she slept on her desk outside, scared of leaving me. “I’m screwed, Kyle. Ivyrose is probably going to break up with me.” “Did she say so?”“No. But I did something stupid.”“Don't tell me you cheated on her? Coz that would be stupid. I mean you got “The Ivyrose Foxworth”, man. Any bachelor out there would give a limb to be accepted by her father let alone be loved by her.” “I d

Ivyrose's POV "This has to be the last time or we're going to be late, Chris and mom will kill us." "Then I'd die a happy man." he joked playing with my nipples as we laid facing each other both naked. After our fourth round of sex, I was getting sore and I wanted to start preparing for my mother's party. I couldn’t believe he blew off work for me and we had spent the day lying around and fucking."Stop that. You're making me horny again and I'm already tired.""My sex slave has no right to be tired.""What did you just call me?" "I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Ouch." He said in between laughing because I started lightly pinching him everywhere. "I'm taking a shower. You stay here and get a power nap. I need you to ravish me again later.""Yes, master. But why can't I just shower with you?" "Coz I know you're going to fuck me again in there."We laughed and I left him lying naked in bed and still trying to tempt me. As the warm water touched my skin, I thought about how perfect everyt
