CHAPTER 71

KAEL’S POVThe apartment was very quiet, and I was sitting alone in the dim light of my living room with a glass of whiskey in my hand, staring at the amber liquid without really seeing it.My mind was elsewhere.It was on her. On Ivy. On the kiss that happened just hours ago, the kiss that had caught me completely off guard and left me speechless for the first time in my life.I touched my lips, and I could still feel the warmth of her mouth on mine, so soft and gentle and full of something that I had not expected to find there. She had been bold, confident and completely in control, and I had been the the one left standing there like a fool, unable to form a single coherent thought.I smiled to myself and took a sip of whiskey, letting the liquid burn its way down my throat.Then my phone rang.I picked it up immediately, with my heart skipping a best when I saw her name on the screen. I answered with a huge smile on my face, expecting her to want to talk about the kiss or tell me s

CHAPTER 72

IVY’S POVThe closet door was wide open, and I was standing in front of it, staring at the rows of clothes that were hanging before me, but my mimd was not really on the dresses.It was on the party. Miranda’s party.I still did not know if I was making the right decision, but I knew one thing for sure: I was tired of hiding. I was tired of being afraid and I was tired of letting other people control my life.Tara was sitting on the bed behind me, watching me with a worried expression on her face. Then she asked finally, “are you really going to go?”I pulled out a dress and held it up against my body. “Yes.”“Okay. Does Kael know?” She asked carefully.I shook my head. “No. He told me not to go.”“And you are going anyway?“Yes.” I nodded.Tara was quiet for a moment. Then she said quietly, “That is not like you.”I turned to look at her. “Maybe that is the problem. Maybe I have been too much like myself for too long. Maybe I need to be someone else for a while.”“What do you mean?”

CHAPTER 73

KAEL’S POVThe car pulled up to the party, and I could already see the flashing lights of cameras through the windows, as reporters gathered outside like vultures waiting for something to happen.I let out a long breath and gripped the door handle. I did not want to be here and I did not want to see Miranda. I did not want to be in a room full of people who whispered behind their hands and pretended to be friends.But I was here for Ivy.Pedro looked at me from the passenger’s seat and asked, “Ready?”“No.” I replied without thinking.He laughed. “Well, that makes two of us. But we are here now, so we might as well make the best of it.”I shook my head. “I cannot believe I let you talk me into this.”“You did not let me talk you into anything. You decided to come because you can not stand the thought of Ivy being here alone. You still would have come even if I had not shown up at your door.”I did not answer because he was right. I would have come anyway.Pedro loooed at me amd smiled

CHAPTER 74

IVY’S POVThe party was buzzing with energy, and I was standing with Miranda when Kael amd Pedro walked through the doors.I felt my heart skip a beat when I saw him. He was wearing a black tuxedo suit, that was perfectly tailored, and his eyes were scanning the room, as if searching for something, or for someone, and I knew without any doubt that it was me. The way his gaze moved through the crowd, the way his jaw clenched when he did not immediately find what he was looking for — it was all for me.Miranda noticed him too and her whole demeanor shifted. She excused herself immediately with a sweet and apologetic voice. “I will be right back Ivy. I need to go greet some guests. Please, make yourself at home.”She walked towards Kael and I was left standing alone in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by strangers who whispered behind their hands and pretended not to stare at me.I watched her approach him, watched her block his path and start talking to him. She was wearing a white d

CHAPTER 75

IVY’S POVThe microphone felt heavy in my hand, and the weight of everyone’s gaze on me was even heavier, which pressed down on my shoulders like a physical weight that made it hard for me to breathe.I stood on the stage and looked out at the crowd, and I could see the expectations on their faces. They were waiting for me to speak. Waiting for me to react and waiting to see what I would say to Miranda’s public apology.I glanced at Miranda and saw her standing beside me, her face looking soft and apologetic, her eyes were wet with tears, but I could see the truth underneath all the deception. This was a setup. She had planned this. She had forced me into a position where I had to forgive her or risk looking like the villain.If I refused to forgive her, the crowd would turn against me. They would see me as bitter and unforgiving. They would sympathize with her. She would win.If I forgave her, she would look like the hero. She would appear gracious and humble. So she would win either

CHAPTER 76

KAEL’S POVI stood at the edge of the crowd, watching Ivy on the stage with the microphone in her hand, and I could feel the tension rolling off her in waves, even from a distance.I knew at once that this was a setup, and I knew Miranda had planned this. She had forced Ivy into a position where she had to forgive her publicly or look like the villain. It was a clever move, a calculated move, and it made my blood boil. Miranda was playing games and she was using Ivy as a pawn.I looked at Pedro who was standing a few feet away from me. Our eyes met, and we both shook our heads. We both knew what Miranda was doing and we both knew Ivy was being played. Pedro’s jaw was clenched tight and his hands were fisted tightly at his sides. He was just as angry as I was.But Ivy was obviously not falling for it.I watched her speak, listened to her choice of words, and I felt a surge of admiration wash over me. She was graceful and she was strong. She was playing the game better than Miranda ever

CHAPTER 77

IVY’S POVThe parking lot was quiet, and the night air was cool against my skin, but I did not feel the cold because the heat rising from my body was enough to keep me warm, and the man standing in front of me was enough to make me forget about everything else in the world.Kael was standing close to me, so close that I could feel the warmth radiating from his body, and I could smell his cologne, that same familiar scent that had been haunting my dreams since the first time I met him, since the first moment our eyes locked across that conference room.I looked at him, and he looked at me, and the air between us was electric. I could feel the attraction pulling me towards him like a magnet, and I could see the same desire reflected in his eyes, so dark and intense and full of longing.His eyes dropped to my lips, and I felt my heart skip a beat. His gaze lingered there and I could feel my cheeks becoming hot.“I want to kiss you,” he said, his voice sounding so low and rough, like he h

CHAPTER 78

KAEL’S POVThe moment her lips met mine again, I felt the last shred of my control slip away, and I knew that there was no going back from this.She had said “No problem” after I apologized for coming off too strong, and then she had advanced towards me, pressed her lips to mine and silence every doubt that had been forming in my mind.I lifted her up and carried her to the sofa, with my hands gripping her waist and my heart pounding in my chest like it want to break free. She was so light in my arms and she felt like she belonged there, like she had always been meant to be there.I laid her down on the sofa and kissed her hungrily, as my lips moved against hers with a desperation that I could not control. I was hungry for her, starving for her and I could not get enough.My hands roamed her body, exploring the sensual curves of her waist, the softness of her skin and enjoying the heat radiating from her like a fire that was burning just for me. Her skin was soft against my rough hand

CHAPTER 79

IVY’S POVI stood outside the door, looking at Kael, and I could see the nervousness in his eyes, the tension in his shoulders and the way his hands were clenched at his sides like he was preparing himself for rejection, like he had been rejected before and was bracing himself for it to happen again.He opened the door and walked in, and I followed him with my heart pounding in my chest like it was trying to break free from my ribs.The room was unlike anything I had ever seen before. The walls were painted a deep shade of red, almost the color of wine, and the lighting was dim and warm, which casted soft shadows across the space. The room was soundproofed, and the silence was heavy, which pressed in on me from all sides, making me to be very aware of every breath I took.I looked around in shock, and my eyes landed on the restraints attached to the walls and the leather straps and cuffs hanging like decorations. I saw the tools arranged neatly on a table, tools that I could not recog

CHAPTER 80

IVY’S POVThe car was quiet, and the tall buildings blurred past the windows as I sat in the back seat, with my body still aching from the night before, amd my mind still spinning from everything that had happened. I had not expected any of this. I had not expected Kael to be so intense, so powerful and so completely consuming. But I could not deny that I had enjoyed every single minute of it. I had enjoyed the way he took control, the way he made me feel safe and wanted and seen, the way he whispered against my skin like I was the most precious thing in the world.I had struggled to get out of his bed this morning, because my body felt so heavy and my mind foggy. I kept replaying everything in my head, and I remembered the exact way he looked at me, the way he touched me, and the way he had whispered ‘good girl’ against my lips. I did not know what I had entered into. I did not know if I was ready for it. But I knew I could not go back.Then my phone rang suddenly, and I jumped in sh
