Loved the story and the plot. What a awful world that would be to live in though for women especially. Glad the way it turned out though.

Chapter One
IvyThe society we live in is a world we never thought would happen. Men have always had the upper hand, but now they rule everything.The male population a few decades back was declining, for every five female births there was only one male birth and as time carried on men were becoming concerned about female domination. It only took a group of a few men to create a radical group that overthrew the society we were used to.Women are weak and made to only be used by men. If you were lucky, you might get to marry a sympathetic man who would let you live freely behind closed doors. If you were one of the unlucky ones, you were forced into servitude. Unfortunately, I’m one of the unlucky ones.My name is Ivy, and I have been assigned to the Ronan home, the leader of the Knights. The one that holds us to our way of life, the one that has the power to say if we can have children, or if we live a life of servitude. The man that makes my life a nightmare.My mother was pregnant with me when

Chapter Two
IvyMr. Ronan and Maverick were already waiting when I arrived with Sierra, and I almost begged her to stay when they dismissed her.“You’re here to finish your punishment. What you did tonight was unacceptable and an embarrassment to my family. Do you understand, Ivy?” Mr. Ronan asked.“Yes, sir. I apologize, but it was a simple accident.”“Regardless of why it happened, you have to learn to be better and for that, you’ve earned yourself five lashes that will be given to you by Maverick.”Mr. Ronan handed Maverick the small whip and directed me to stand in front of him.I stood in front of Maverick looking at our feet. I refused to slip up again and look at his face.“Turn around and remove your shirt and kneel.” Mr. Ronan ordered.I did as he said. I was past the embarrassing part of being topless and I just wanted this to be over with.Before we could get started, the door opened.“What are you doing here, Maddox?” Maverick stated. His voice sounded angry, and I knew he was going t

Chapter Three
MaverickI swear to God, if Maddox fucks this up for me, he’s dead to me. I shouldn’t have let on that I wanted her. I need to make sure he doesn’t take his offer. I hope she has more respect for herself and sees through him.“Mr. Maverick, what are you doing back here?”“I’m looking for Ivy.”“She’s upstairs cleaning the rooms.”I nodded my head and took the stairs two at a time. I got lucky and only had to check two rooms before I found her.She was moving slowly around the bed trying to make it and my heart sank, knowing I did this to her.“Ivy?”She stopped what she was doing but wouldn’t look at me.“I’m sorry. I had to do it. If I didn’t, my father would have and would have made it worse.”“No need to apologize. I did something wrong.I let out a sigh and walked closer to her and, as I approached her, she took a step back.“I’m not like my father or brother. I don’t think women deserve to live this way. I believe they should have their rights and freedom restored.”“You have a f

Chapter Four
MaddoxThis is turning out better than I hoped it would. I expected Ivy to turn down my offer, so when she accepted it along with my brothers on a conditional basis, I was pleased. Maverick and I have shared girls in the past, but nothing long-term, so this is bound to get interesting, especially if my brother genuinely likes her.I knocked on my father’s door and waited until he gave me permission to enter.“What do you need now, Maddox?”“I have a slightly odd request. Maverick and I would like Ivy to be pulled from the staff. She isn’t to serve the family anymore.”“Why is that?”“We are taking her as our own and we expect her to have the privileges of not serving the family while she is under our care.”“Is that all?”“Yes. Consider it done, but if she interferes with your duties, she will be dealt with.”“Understandable.”My father and I have always seen eye to eye. I understand him, and he knows I will be the one to carry on his legacy, unlike Maverick. It’s a known fact that Ma

Chapter Five
Ivy“Why are you all the way over there?” Maddox asked.I was lying as far away from him as I could, facing away from him. I didn’t know how to read him and I didn’t want to be in his space. Some people don’t enjoy sleeping right next to other people.“I don’t want to crowd your space.”“If I didn’t want you to crowd my space, I wouldn’t have you in my bed. Now, come here.”I turned around and made my way to him. I wanted nothing touching my back, so I had to face him.“Closer. Place your head on my pillow so my arm is under your neck.”Maddox apparently didn’t want any space between us, and my face was now next to his chest. I did not know how I was going to get comfortable. Even though I wasn’t sure if I could sleep like this, I did like the way he smelled. His soap, or cologne, smelled like fresh air and I missed being outside. I don’t get to go out very often. Dinner with Maverick in the gardens was the first time I was outside in over a week.As I lay down, Maddox shifted his bod

Chapter Six
MaverickI could hear Ivy’s moans and my brother’s grunts through his door as I stood in the kitchen drinking my water last night. I tortured myself by standing there listening to them. I knew he wouldn’t wait. This was his plan the entire time, and Ivy played right into it. I kept replaying the sounds as I lay in bed last night, wishing it was me she was with. Today I’ll prove to her she is better off with me.I walked into the living area to find Ivy sitting on the couch in her work uniform.“Why are you dressed in that? I thought we agreed you wouldn’t be working for us.”“I don’t have any clothes. Work clothes and sleepwear are the only sets of clothing we may own.”I forgot about that.“I guess we’ll go shopping for clothes today.”“I have a doctor’s appointment in a few minutes. Maddox is having the doctor look at my back.”Of course, he is. He’s trying to butter her up.“After your appointment, we can do some shopping and grab some lunch.”“You mean I get to go into the city wi

Chapter Seven
IvyMaverick was true to his word. We made a stop and got me a bagel and juice. It’s been a while since I had apple juice. I almost forgot how it tasted. It was crisper than I remembered it and I wanted another glass of it as soon as I drank it.“Is apple juice your favorite?”“I don’t have a favorite; it’s been a while since I had apple juice.”“I’ll include it with your breakfast in the morning. I’ll take your garbage when you’re done. We’re here and we can’t have people waiting for us.”I gave him my garbage and took his hand when he held it out for me. He helped me out of the car and walked me across the street to a nice small boutique.“Remember, you can get anything you want and need. I already told the owner that you are looking for pants and that you may need underclothes.”“Thank you.”I couldn’t believe he was taking the time to make sure I had the clothes that I only needed, but wanted. I couldn’t wait to wear jeans again. I’ve missed them. I can’t wait to wear colors and p

Chapter Eight
Maddox“What the fuck is going on?”“Your brother thought it was wise to let the girls see a doctor. He said we haven’t been treating them well” Dad’s voice was laced with anger.I looked at Maverick.“Is it true? You’re doing all this for the help?”“Yes. Ivy said they weren’t being fed regularly and that some of them haven’t seen a doctor in years. They need to be looked at. We can’t expect them to do the work we want them to do if they’re not healthy. We don’t’ even provide them with enough food. Most of them are underweight, Maddox.”“This is ridiculous. This is wasting everyone’s time.”“It’s not wasting your time. You and dad can still get work done.”“Maddox, meet me in my office.”My father didn’t wait for me to answer. He walked off, and I followed.“You can’t have their girl running you guys all over the place. You need to make sure she keeps her opinions to herself. We can’t allow her to use you and your brother to gain privileges for everyone.”“I’ll talk to her and I’ll m

Chapter Nine
IvyThose bastards have kept me in this suit for three days with nothing to do. They have someone bringing me food and someone to tend to my wounds, but they refuse to talk to me when they are here.“Have you learned your lesson?” Maddox asked as he opened the door.“Yes.”“Good. You’ll be free to leave the room starting tomorrow. Maverick and I will be back tonight. Don’t mess this up, Ivy.”“I won’t. Can I please have a book or some kind of puzzle?”Maddox walked over to me and gave me the book I was ready back.“If you want more books, you can start spending time in the library on the second floor starting tomorrow. Tell one of us where you’re going and when you expect to be done.”Maddox turned around and was heading back towards the door.“Where are you going?”“I have work to finish. I’ll be back later.”“I want someone to talk to.”“It can’t be me. I have shit to do. You can talk to Maverick when he comes up in a while.”I thought working all day and not being able to see anyon

Chapter Ten
IvyThe warmth of Maverick’s body calmed me. It felt nice to be held. It didn’t matter if it was by a person who I wasn’t sure of. I at least felt wanted, which is something that I haven’t felt since coming here.I rolled over to face him.“I’m sorry for getting you in trouble.”“Don’t worry about it. I’m a big boy.”“I thought maybe we should be political about the changes we want to make.”“What are you talking about?”“You don’t want to carry on your father’s legacy and I don’t want to live this way anymore, so we should make it political. Your father through a coup, why can’t we?”I could see Maverick’s eyes search my face for any signs that I was joking. I was serious. Why couldn’t we overthrow his father?“We could get people on our side. People would listen to you.”“My father will kill you.”“I’ve thought about that, and I’m willing to die for something I believe in.”“What about Maddox? He won’t agree to this.”“Your brother wants power. If we agree to give him power, he’ll g
