Dinner

“My car is here. Let me bring it here, and I can follow you to whichever restaurant you want to take me to.”“Let’s go together, Ivy.”“I’m not leaving it here for the night. How will I get to work tomorrow?” I asked.“I can bring you to work.”I smiled at the absurdity of the whole situation. It wasn’t too long ago that he had a gun pointed at me, and now he was trying to entice me into going for dinner with him.“I don’t want to ride to work with you. Your fiancé will not approve. Besides, you think I’m a gold-digger. You'd better stay away from me. It would be a shame if I stole your billions.” I said sarcastically.“Oh yeah? That’s not how I see it. I would die a happy man if a gorgeous woman like you stole my billions. That is, if she gave me the ultimate experience.”I rolled my eyes at his attempt to joke around. It was the second time he had done so near me, and every single time, he didn’t smile. He was serious all the time that it was shocking he even had friends.“This is n

Make peace

My cheeks heated in both horror and shock. He was inappropriate and he kept a straight face while doing it. It was truly jarring.“Excuse me?” I asked, thinking I misheard him. After all, we had agreed that we would be professional.“You heard me,” he said as he called over a waitress who was standing by the entrance. “Put everything on my tab and make sure you get this lady everything she needs.” He turned to me saying, “My driver will take you home. After all, it’s inappropriate for us to be seen together.”I suddenly started to feel bad about telling him not to be seen with me. I didn’t want to be left alone when we had barely had our meal.With the coy look on his face, I began to realize what he was up to. He had a way to make people regret their words. He was leaving me to dine alone in a romantic setup because I had refused him.No wonder he was a billionaire. He managed to force people’s hands, but he wasn’t going to force mine.“Okay. I’ll see you around, Seth Ashford.”He go

Celeste's party

In a backless bodycon dress with spaghetti straps and black stilettos, I walked into Celeste’s birthday party. My hair was in an updo, and my makeup was light to sell my innocent act. I didn’t want to be there, but I had to.Miles was back in the city, and I didn’t even hear that news from him. Jesse was the one who mentioned it. My boyfriend wasn’t speaking to me or even calling. Was he angry at me for something?Miles was a very important person in my life. It was normal that I didn’t want to lose him when we had been through so much together. I kept checking my phone every few seconds, and he didn’t text me.“Ivy, thank you for coming. I got your gift. It was amazing.” Celeste said as she approached me with a smile on her face. She had on a strapless white ballgown. Some would say she looked like a princess, but I knew what she was hiding behind those smiles of hers.“You’re welcome. Happy birthday.” I said to her as I grabbed a glass of wine from one of the moving servers. I didn’

Defender

Nikolai let me go immediately when he heard Seth say that. He turned to his friend with a smile like he were innocent.“Come on, it’s not that serious. She and I were just having a conversation.”I thought Seth would let it go, but he didn’t. He stepped into Nikolai’s personal space. Both men were intimidating, but only one was winning the staring contest wasn’t Nikolai.“You were gripping her arm tightly. That didn’t seem like it was just a conversation.” He said. “Was it a conversation, Ivy?” He asked me even without looking at me.“No.”Nikolai glanced at me, shocked. He expected his little intimidation tactic to work on me, and it did, but I would be dumb if I showed him that. He would use it over and over again. I had to command his respect.“Look, man. I didn’t know you were fucking her. I didn’t mean to grab her like that. She looked like a whore to me. I wanted to warn her that whatever bad intentions she had, she should stop.”I stepped on his toe with my heel before Seth cou

Just doing my job

“What are you doing here?” I asked when I saw Miles standing by my door. After ignoring me for two weeks, he finally remembered he had a fiancé. I was really in the mood to talk to him.“I can’t visit my beautiful fiancé at work?” He asked. He had blue roses in his hands—my favorite. Seth didn’t need to know that. I needed something to myself that the man I was seducing didn’t know about.“After ignoring her for two weeks, now you remember you have one?” I asked without looking up from my computer.From my peripheral vision, I saw him come inside.“I’m sorry, I was ignoring you. It’s hard for me to come to terms with the fact that you’re going to be spending time with another man. I needed some time to myself. I just got back into the city.”That was code for him probably spending time with another woman. Infidelity wasn’t a dealbreaker for me. I let him do what he wanted because there would come a time when I would have to sleep with Seth.Miles was important to me, and it made sense

White party

In a casual white dress and gladiator sandals, I walked into Mrs. Voss’ birthday party. She had postponed it for a week because she was busy with work, which gave me the chance to attend.It was a garden white party. The theme was clear, and everyone was wearing it, including the girl playing the violin in the far corner. The party was fairly casual, which was shocking for a rich billionaire.“Ivy!” Mrs. Voss exclaimed when she saw me. She was in a long white dress, and she was gleaming with excitement. “I knew you would come to my party.”“I wouldn’t miss it for the world,” I said as I handed her the gift I got for her. She was the only client whose gift I personally picked.I was very fond of the woman because she was warm and she gave me some affection that felt motherly. I hadn’t grown up being close with my mother, so it made sense that Mrs. Voss and I got along so well.“Come on, let me introduce you to someone,” she said as she dragged me somewhere. She was always trying to set

Stranded

I allowed Miles to drag me out of the house into the parking lot. He was hurting me, but he was so angry that he wasn’t listening to me. I was supposed to discuss business with Mrs. Voss, and I wasn’t going to be able to do that because Miles was jealous.Over something he was aware I had to do.He didn’t know why I was seducing Seth. All he knew was that I wanted revenge for what happened to my sister and family, and he said he would support me. He was now singing another tune.He pushed me into the passenger seat of his car and drove off. He was driving a little too fast for my liking. He was scaring me, and it was starting to get weird.“Why are you so angry?” I asked, but I was met with nothing but silence.He increased the speed at which he was driving his car. My heart was starting to beat really fast. I saw my life flash before my eyes. He was reckless. He had barely dodged two cars.“Stop! Miles!” I screamed.He didn’t stop, and he didn’t acknowledge me either.“What is wrong

Out of pocket

I walked to my apartment numbly. I wasn’t sure how I would proceed or even what would happen next. When I unlocked my door, it was as dark as usual, but I knew I wasn’t alone.I wasn’t in the mood to deal with Jesse. No matter how many times I changed the password to my penthouse, he always got in. I was going to take more serious measures to avoid him completely.He was on my couch with his feet on my table. He was drinking yet another expensive bottle of my liquor. This time it was vodka. He didn’t have an alcohol preference. He could consume anything.“I am not in the mood to speak with you,” I told him.“How was Mrs. Voss’ birthday? Did anything interesting happen?” He asked me.I turned on the lights to be able to look at him. That was when I came to a sickening realization. He was never interested in the things I did during my free time. There could only be one explanation.He was the one who set Miles off.“What did you do?”“You were moving slowly. I saw Seth slipping through

Golf!

I got someone to change the way to get into my apartment the next day. It required a password and a fingerprint verification now. I wanted to see how Jesse would get into my place after that.After I cried for ten minutes the previous day, I got my shit together and decided I would not dwell on what Jesse did. He was doing all of it for my own good. I didn’t like his methods, but they worked.Even though I had been ashamed because of what Seth saw, it worked to my advantage. When we finally had sex, he wouldn’t see me as a whore. He would see me as a victim of domestic abuse by my boyfriend.Besides, I wasn’t the victim. The real victim was my family because of how much they had suffered because a bunch of men thought they were untouchable. I had a revenge plot to carry out, and I would see it through to the very end.I wouldn’t rest until every one of those men paid for their mistakes.It was the weekend, and I had plans. I couldn’t rest because I carried the weight of the world on m

Fun

Since I last saw Asher, I heard he was asking around for me. He only knew my first name, so he was looking for any woman with my features in New York with the name Ivy. That was like looking for a needle in a haystack.I hadn’t made it easy for him, and I wouldn’t. I didn’t want to start an affair with him. I didn’t do men with rings on their fingers and vows they had uttered hanging over their heads.Asher was a disgusting person, cheating on his wife like that.He was a whore. I didn’t like whores—no one did.I heard he had ditched his young model and swapped her out for another one. I had someone following him from time to time to get me any information they could get on him—I had all the men followed.My plans with Asher were more fun than an affair. Besides, I wasn’t attracted to him. Seth was the one who brought out feelings I didn’t know I could have. It was dangerous and intriguing at the same time.“I’m done,” May said as she turned my seat so I was facing the mirror. She and
