IVY’S POVThe drive back to the office was quiet. Too quiet.My hands were still shaking on the steering wheel as Miranda’s words kept playing in my head. ‘When I call, you will answer.’I parked the car and sat there for a moment. Then I took a deep breath and picked up my phone.I needed to talk to someone. Someone who was not involved in this mess. Someone who knew me before all of this. I called Tara. And she answered on the second ring. “Ivy! I was just thinking about you.”“I have news.”“Good news or bad news?”“I do not know yet.”Tara’s voice changed on the phone as she became worried. “What happened?”I told her about Miranda. About the tea and about the deal.Tara was quiet for a moment, then she said in disbelief. “Wait. You made a deal with the devil?”“It is not that serious.”“Ivy, from what I know about Miranda, she is not a nice person. She wants the Luna position for herself. She has been chasing Kael for years. She is not going to be your friend. That is the honest

IVY’S POVThe apartment was quiet as I walked in and dropped my bag on the floor. My head was hurting and my hands were shaking. The tea date I had with Miranda had drained me. Her smile had been fake and her kindness was all a lie. I groaned as her threat echoed in my head.‘When I call, you will answer.’I went to the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed, then I placed my hands on my head because I need to think. But my mind was completely blank, with too many strange things happening at once.Then my phone rang and I looked at the screen. It was a strange number I did not recognize, but deep down, I knew who it was.Kael.I did not pick up because I could not. My fingers would not move and soon, the phone stopped ringing and the room became silent once more.Then it rang again, with the same number, but I still did not pick up. I let it ring until it stopped.I remained frozen on the spot, staring at my phone and waiting. My heart was beating fast and my hands were cold.Then it

KAEL’S POVThe morning started like any other as I sat behind my desk, reading through reports, signing documents and preparing for the day ahead. The city was waking up outside my window and the sun was bright and the sky, clear. But my mind was not. My assistant knocked and walked in. “Alpha Kael, you have a meeting in an hour. The shareholders are arriving.”I nodded. “Okay. Let us prepare for it.”He turned to leave, but my office phone rang and I picked it up.“Yes?”“Alpha, there are two ladies at the front desk. They say they have an appointment with you.”I frowned and asked, “Two ladies? Describe them.”“One is wearing a black dress with led lips and straight long black hair. The other has a brown wavy hair and she is wearing a blue suit.”I immediately knew who it was. Ivy Morgan and her assistant, no doubt.“I only expected one. But let them up.”“Yes, sir.”Then I hung up. My assistant turned back to look at me and asked. “Should I tell them to wait at the lobby while we

IVY’S POVThe elevator doors closed softly behind me as I leaned against the wall and let out a huge breath I had been holding. My hands were shaking and my whole body felt hot.What just happened?I pressed my hand to my chest and felt my heart beating fast. I could still feel him standing close to me and could still smell his cologne. I could still see the way he looked at my lips.The elevator wemt down without any noise. Floor after floor. When the doors opened, Zara was waiting for me in the lobby. She looked at my face once and her eyes became wide.“Ivy, you are red. What happened.”“Nothing. Let us go.”We walked out of the building, into the bright sun. The air was fresh, but I still felt hot.We got into the car and Zara started the engine. She looked at me and said, “you are not telling me something.”“I am fine.”“You are not fine. Your hands are shaking.”I looked down at my hands and found out she was right. They were indeed shaking.Zara pulled out of the parking lot an

IVY’S POVI was sitting on the couch in my quiet apartment, going through some files, when I heard a knock at the door. I frowned at it because I was not expecting anyone.“Who is it?”There was no answer. Just another knock.I stood up and walked to the door. Then I took a deep breath and opened it.Tara stood there with a small suitcase in her hand. She was smiling from ear to ear.“Surprise!”I stared at her for a moment in shock, then I laughed and pulled her into a tight hug. “What are you doing here?”“I came to see you. Is that a crime?”“No, but you could have told me.”“And ruin the surprise?” Tara asked as she walked into the apartment and dropped her suitcase by the door. Then she looked around with interest and nodded. “Hmmmm….Nice place.”“It is not much.”“It is yours. That is what matters.”I closed the door and followed her into the living room. Then she sat on the couch and looked at me.“You look tired,” She said.“I am tired.”“Tell me everything.”I sat down next t
