Ivy’s POV“Ivy and I are going on a trip for a few days,” Sean announced the next morning as the four of us sat down for breakfast.I glanced at him, brows raised. “We are?” That was news to me.He winked at me. “Yep.”Okayyy… I suppose there are worse things than an impromptu trip.“Really?” my mother chimed in. “That’s great. Where are you going?”I wiggled my brow at Sean. Yeah, where were we going?Sean shrugged. “Here and there,” he said mysteriously. “I want to show Ivy some good spots. Since the semester is done, I want us to go and relax for a few days.”He looked at his father expectantly.Ken waved a hand. “Of course, do what you want. You’ve worked hard enough these past few months, we’ll manage without you for a few days.”“Thanks,” Sean said.“Have a wonderful time,” Mom added. “Sean, make sure she doesn’t stay cooped up indoors.”I groaned inwardly. “Mom, we’re going on vacation. I’m not that lame.”She smiled. “I don’t think you’re lame, dear. I just… I worry you’ll mis

Ivy’s POVI flipped the card over and found more written on the other side. The story continued:The prince lived a carefree and reckless life, without a care in the world. He was like a lone kite, trying to chart his own way while the strong wind tried to control him. One day, the prince met a beautiful princess. She was so lovely he could not look away. Her sweet smile and soft voice charmed him and warmed his heart, which had been unfeeling for many years. He wanted to stay close to the princess, and he followed her everywhere. But she was not like him. He hurt her with his wild spirit, betraying her trust time and again. She wanted to leave him behind, but he could not imagine a life without her. Ever since she showed up, his life had changed. Where it had been plain, it was filled with color. Where it had been bland, it was filled with excitement. Where it had been frozen, it was filled with warmth. He did everything to keep her by his side. Eventually, he could make her smile th

Ivy’s POVOne Year Later"Hey, are you okay?" Molly, one of my partners in our group assignment, asked.I shook my head. "I feel a bit off.""If you don't feel well, you can go home and rest,” she told me. “I'll send you the notes from today's meeting.""Really? Thanks. Tell the others I'll make up for my part next time.""No worries," she said.I grabbed my bag and walked out of the room. I'd been feeling nauseous since that morning, but I'd thought it would pass. Leaving the building, I got into my car. I still had a few classes that day, but I didn't feel like attending. Maybe I'd just get some pills at a nearby store and go sleep it off.It was during the drive to the store that the thought occurred to me: My period was late by a few days. I hadn't thought much about it before, but now... A wave of anxiety washed over me. Could I really be pregnant?I glanced at my phone, wondering whether to tell Sean. I shook my head. I could be wrong. I'd been swamped with schoolwork lately and

Sean’s POVThe soft morning light filtered through the curtains as I watched Ivy sleep, her chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. Even exhausted from our wild rounds of sex last night, she looked peaceful, with her dark hair fanned across the pillow, her lips slightly parted. Damn, I'd missed this. Missed her.Dax stirred in my chest, equally reluctant to leave her warmth. These business trips were hell on both of us. No matter how many times I told myself it was temporary, that it was just until I dealt with the pending issues, every mile between us felt like a physical ache.So whenever I finally got home, we spent hours making up for lost time. And yet, the hunger I had for her never abated. It was never ending, gnawing at me even when I was close to her because I knew I couldn’t be around as long as I wanted.I pressed my lips to her forehead, catching the faint scent of vanilla and sex in her hair. She murmured something unintelligible but didn't wake. Good, I wanted her t
