Ivyrose’s POV When mom and I arrived at the church the morning after, it amazed me how Gerardo had made sure the building was surrounded with his men and everyone was checked before they were allowed inside. Mom told the limo driver to go around the back so the guests and the paparazzi wouldn’t get a glimpse of me. “This way.” Seb helped my mom out of the limo first before he held my hand and led us into the back entrance of the church. He took us to a small room which had two couches and a full body wall mirror. “You guys can wait here, okay? The bathroom's right here. There's a window you can use if ever you change your mind and want to run away." he chuckled at his own joke as he left the bathroom door open. "I’m going to go check on your groom. You ladies need anything?”“No. I’m good. Mom?” my mom shook her head and I smiled at Seb. “We’re good. Thanks, Seb.”“Okay. Great. Stay put. I’ll put two men outside this door.”“Not necessary, but yeah, thanks.” My mother said to Seb

Ricardo Sanguin’s POVBy four in the afternoon everything was ready— the food, the drinks, the servants and the mansion. It finally looked like a home, a home with a thankful family. I stood in our lobby where the main staircase was lit with decorative lights and draped with all kinds of wild flowers and leaves. The chandelier glimmered above us. "Everything looks perfect, doesn't it, Mr. Cole?" "Sure does, Mrs. Cole.""Dad called, he said mom forgot something at the hotel and Hudson went with her, but they'll be flying as soon as they come back.""Well it wouldn't be you mom if she doesn't forget something.""I know. Listen, you want to video call with your folks and Hannah? We can go to our room.""Nah. They're okay. We talked yesterday they're in Positano.""Well great. Now I envy them." she pouted jokingly. "Hmm if your offer to go to our room is still on the table, I can assure you wouldn't want to be anywhere else, but beneath me.""Hmmmm. Stop it, Gareth. We don't have time

Christopher’s POVTouchPoint Inc. BuildingMidtown Manhattan“I want you to eat me here on this table when everyone goes home.” I looked at the beautiful daughter of Drake Malone, one of the company’s investors, sitting opposite me on the table and winked at her. I then bent my head back down and typed my reply. “With pleasure. Make sure you spread your legs wide for me. I’m gonna make you cum so many times you’ll beg me to stop.”“Are you going to fuck me hard too? I heard stories about you.” she giggled from across the table while some of the younger investors heard and looked at her.“As hard as you want it, baby. Whatever you heard, forget about it. I’ll treat you special. I’ll lick your sweet wet folds and stick my tongue as deep as it can go. I’ll make you scream.”“Good god, when is that partner of yours going to stop talking, huh? I’m so wet already, Chris. I’m so glad I obeyed daddy and came to observe this meeting or else I’d never would’ve bumped into you.”“I’m just glad

Ricardo Sanguin’s POV "Ricardo! No! But why?" Rex squinted, adjusting to the light. "You've had your ass kicked for a month and that's all you have to say to me?" I chuckled. I looked at the mighty Rex Foxworth and felt tingles of happiness all over my body. He looked like a homeless man in a dirty torn tux who’s been mugged at least a hundred times. His fingernails and toenails were all gone, pulled out by Seb while I watched him scream and asked what he did to deserve it. The buttons of his inner dirty white shirt were open and his chest had cauterized wounds of different sizes and shapes. "What do you want, Ricardo? The company? Don't hurt Ivy. I'll give you the company. I'll give you everything you want." "Everything I want? But don't you see, Rex? I do have everything I want. Ivyrose is the CEO of your company and you are here as my prisoner, but the cherry on top— that woman whom you said could never be mine, she is my wife now. Here watch this. We fucked right on your

Ivyrose's POV I put the two dozen outfits I picked out for Harmony on Hailey’s shopping cart. It was a beautiful Sunday on the day before Christmas, and we decided to spend our day off hanging out together. The three of them agreed to spend Christmas in our mansion instead of in their house in Staten Island. "Boss, that's too much. She's—." "Really still with the boss? Why do you keep forgetting we're partners with the flower shops now?" "I'm just used to calling you, boss. Feels weird to suddenly call you Ivy." "Rosie." "I thought only Gareth could call you that." "What? No. Only the people closest to me can." "Aww I love you, Rosie." Hailey said, hugging me tightly. “Thanks for spoiling that little critter of ours.” “Of course. I’m her fairy godmother, remember?” I said and we chuckled. "Besides you guys are my only family now that mom's so busy with her boy toys in Millan." I said and we chuckled. “Did she ever tell you what she and your dad fought about?” “Nope. Sh
