DAMIEN’S POVWhen Ivy arched her back, grinding herself against my lips, I knew she was right on the edge. I buried my face in her, sucking her sweet arousal before lapping at her clit aggressively.Her eyes locked onto mine, and I caught a flash of pure shock in them, like she hadn’t realized it could ever feel this good, right before she tipped over the edge.“Oh yes, yes... oh fuck.” The moans poured from her lips as her body convulsed, jerking against me as she came all over my face.I held her thighs apart so she wouldn't strangle me, letting her ride out the wave until she was satiated.I gave her pretty pussy one last kiss before slowly rising to my feet. The moment I let her legs go, she dropped them down and crossed them tightly over each other.I wiped the back of my hand across my mouth, letting out a chuckle as she avoided my gaze and a deep crimson blush crept up her neck and covered her cheeks.“Really?” I asked. “You want to play the shy card now? After you just finishe

IVY’S POVHer words felt like a knife to my heart, plunging deep and leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. And when my mind brought back the messages he’d sent me earlier, rage poisoned my veins.I knew it and I warned myself but I didn’t listen. Men like Damien Blackwood don’t end up with girls like me.“Wow, that’s great news”. I forced excitement to coat my tone so she wouldn’t suspect anything. “I’m happy for him”.“Me too”. Carolina beamed and I threw my gaze to the window to hide the tears that filled my eyes as we rode in silence.After what seemed like fifteen minutes, we pulled up to an ultra-exclusive wellness and yoga center which looked more like a modern art museum with its entrance surrounded by lush greenery.As I walked inside behind Carolina, I couldn't help but look around the decor in awe.All my life, I had to work hard just to pay rent and buy food. I never had the time or money to go to fancy places like this. To me, they only existed on television or in magazines.

IVY’S POVThe familiar voice boomed through the lounge, cutting through the air like a knife.Helen’s hand stopped mid-air, and I opened my eyes to see Carolina stepping into the lounge.The Carolina I knew since I came to the Blackwood Villa always smiled at her family and guests even when she didn’t want to. But this version right before me had pure rage burning in her eyes as she marched toward us.Helen quickly lowered her hand and smoothed down her top, instantly changing her tone to sound polite and humble."Mrs. Blackwood!" She said quickly, stepping toward her. "I am so glad you are here. I just heard that this lying bitch told you that she’s your cousin. Well, guess what? That’s a bloody lie. This girl sitting here is an impostor! She is lying to everyone! She is nothing but a thief and a nobody from my hometown who tried to poison me once. She has tricked you, your friends, and heaven knows what she is trying to steal from you!"The three women nodded in support, looking at

IVY’S POVRoselyn blinked, a quick flash of surprise crossing her face before her professional composure returned. “Ah, my apologies, Ivy! I just assumed...well, Mr. Blackwood personally called my office twice this week to oversee her application details. He was so protective over every detail regarding her daily routine, her dietary needs, and her security protocol."“It’s rare to see a man like him so involved in the day-to-day running of things”. She smiled, her eyes softening as she continued talking about him. Now that it was clear I wasn’t Mrs. Blackwood, she no longer had to hold back her admiration. “He really is an amazing man, isn’t he? So ruthless, yet caring and compassionate.”The admiration in her voice made a sharp spike of jealousy prick at my chest, catching me completely off guard."Yes," I managed to say, keeping my tone neutral. "He is very dedicated to Ava."Roselyn leaned against the edge of her desk, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Permit me to also a

DAMIEN’S POV“Damien?” Ivy frowned, startled by the sudden appearance. “What’s wrong?”I couldn’t reply her.I just rushed into the room and sank straight to my knees on the rug, wrapping my arms tightly around Ava and pulling both of them directly against my chest.I squeezed them so hard I could feel the rapid flutter of their heartbeats against my ribs."Thank God," I choked out, a sharp breath tearing from my throat as tears threatened to spill over my lashes. "Thank God..."I had faced some of the toughest battles in business, but none of them came close to this. The thought of losing either of them broke something inside me."Damien... we’re fine," Ivy whispered, her warm breath fanning against my neck. "Damien, look at me. We're okay. We're fine."I pulled back just enough to look at her, my hands coming up to frame her face, and my thumb gently wiping away a streak of smudged dust on her cheek.My eyes searched every single inch of her skin, desperate for hidden injuries."Are
