All Chapters of Ivy: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

"We're back!" Dimitri announced. "Mom! I learned how to ride a bike-" "What happened to your knee?" I interjected. "Calm down, all kids scrape their knees," Reign hushed. "I fell a few times," Aodhan said sadly, dropping his head, 'But I did it!" "He did. We got a video for you," Reign confirmed while extending his phone. I glanced at the phone and then at my son, "Why don't you go shower? Dinner's almost ready." I watched the video of Aodhan successfully learning to ride the bike for the first time—the victorious look on his face from succeeding. "You aren't going to leave, are you?' I questioned. "No," they replied in unison. "Nervously, I bit my lower lip, "Well, I work a lot with the bar, and I can't be home as often as I'd like, and Aodhan looks happy that you're here." They both perked up in a pompous way. "If I think you need to leave," I warned while closing the gap between us, "Then you leave." "We're not leaving-" "I'm not negotiating," I interr

Weeks passed, and Ariel didn't pick up the phone or call. Dimitri and Regin have taken great care of my son and me. Being nearly six months pregnant, I'm starting to show. I only gained thirty pounds with Aodhan, and the doctor told me I wouldn't be getting much more significant than my first, so I wasn't worried. "Hey," Reign entered my room. I was standing in the window doorway, watching the sunset. "Are you hungry?" Reign asked, "Do you need anything from the store?" "Why do you love me?" I asked. Reign ran his hands through his hair, "No foreplay, just straight to it. Truth be told, I don't know myself. When I close my eyes, I think about fucking you. Every time. I would love to have you to myself, but Dimitri also loves you." "How do you know that?" I questioned. Reign walked gently towards me and tenderly held my left hand in his right, "Do you truly think he or I would endure knowing that you will be with whomever you want, and we'll never leave? Now that you

Zeus's hand never left my wrist until we were in the air. Strangely, he ensured we were through a bottle of champagne before speaking with me. He knew I was nicer when drunk. Asshole. "I thought I killed you," I huffed. "You're not a good shot," Zeus confessed, "But I am a good actor. "I saw the blood, the bullet hit you," I reminded. "No, Reign's bullet hit me," he corrected, "You missed entirely." "You killed Eric!" I cried while tossing my drink in his face, "You sorry, son of a bitch!" With that, Zeus sprung up, jerking me with ease, stumbling over his knee. "No!" I cried out. Zeus spanked me so hard it brought tears to my eyes. "Please! Stop!" I cried out in pain, "Agh!" Zeus abruptly tossed me to the ground as the jet landed. I rubbed my ass, the soreness made it unbearable to stand. Zeus threw me over his shoulder. "Put me down!" I demanded, "Now, Zeus!" This was all too familiar. We'd done this before. No matter how much I fought, his strength overwhe

Only a few doctors in Ireland could get me a DNA test. Zeus did this on purpose, and he knew it. There was no way he couldn't find out who Aodhan's father was, and he had to change his money within the blink of an eye to ensure he was his father. "You knew what you were doing. Admit it, Zeus. You've always been a conniving, selfish man," Dimitri commented. Ivy wants to go back home and have a doctor of her choosing. Not to ensure that there were very few near here, so few that you could manipulate it into ending the way you want." "Which is what, exactly?" Zeus sighed, "Is this because I punished you? Are you still not over that?" "You're lucky I didn't kill you," Dimitri growled. "Did you like what I did to you? Is that it? Do you care about me-" Dimitri swung, his fist landing its target, Zeus's chin. Zeus staggered, a small trickle of crimson blood seeping from the corner of his lips. The sadistic smile that came across his face said it all. The blood coming across his

I could not sit at the dinner table and keep my thoughts to myself. I hadn't drunk since giving birth, but today, I was having a liquid dinner, whiskey. "You sure you don't want any lasagna?" Zeus offered. "It's delicious, Mom," Aodhan agreed while placing his dish near the sink. However, he was still too short to reach past the countertop. "Yes, baby, why don't you go with Ariel and get ready for bed?" I ordered. "but mom-" "No, but baby," I groaned. "Come on, I know a great movie we can watch before bed tonight," Ariel beamed while tickling Aodhan to the bathroom. "Come on, Ivy," Zeus grumbled while filling the dishwasher, "Do you need to be so dismissive? He was having a good time, and you shut him down." "Who the Hell do you think you are?!" I spat while grabbing the crystal pitcher full of whiskey. I stumbled up the stairs to a separate bedroom that wasn't my own. I knew what would happen tonight; I knew what Zeus wanted. I might enjoy it myself. I giggle whil
