MasukIVYI followed the light, and it opened up my eyes. For a couple of seconds, I laid still, listening to the only sounds around.My heart beat, and a beeping sound.When the beeping sound became hard to dismiss, I finally moved my body, facing sideways.That move, albeit slight, caused some blurriness to my vision, and lightweightness in my head.I knew I was conscious, but I couldn't fathom anything else.The blurriness cleared up, and I saw a monitor.That was where the beeping sound was coming from. It was the monitor.After this realization came the need to understand where I was, and how I arrived here..To discover both, I had to open my mind, and just relax.I did so by letting go, and closing my eyes.At first, nothing happened. It was all blank in thoughts and memories.Then the door opened, and my eyes flew open when the scent of jasmine wafted into my nose.“I see eyes opened. You're awake, like I knew you'd be,” a cheerful voice said, approaching me.I didn't recognise the
“Princess,” Vladimir muttered again, purely out of desperation now.An adrenaline rush pushed him towards her, and gave him the much needed strength to not only rise up to his feet, but also carry her into his arms.He swiftly exited the jet, at the same moment a car came to a stop before him.His pilot, the captain, ran out of the car. “Son! I'm here, son!”Vladimir, cradling Ivy's body in his, didn't want to let go.Firmly, he held on to her, as he walked to the backseat of the car.“I called Yasmin already. She's expecting us,” the captain filled him in, as he gently placed Ivy's unconscious body into the backseat, before jumping in himself.The captain shut the door, and headed for the driver's seat.As he drove off, Vladimir held on to Ivy.The rage he felt before had dissolved into concern now.Concern so great, he found himself staring at her unconscious body.There was a pulse. It was the one thing that kept his hope alive.Also, she had definitely touched him, which meant she
“We're landing now, Gianni!”“Huh?!” He looked up and around frantically, as the voice from the intercom reached his ears.On realization that it was an announcement, his gaze shot back to the girl he was about to push through the window.Pulling her back, he turned her to face him.She was unconscious.“Hmmm.” He made a disgusted sound at the back of his throat, and let go of her.She crumpled to the ground, unconscious, and even lifeless.Gianni crossed over her body, plopping on the closest seat he found.Landing took a couple of minutes to finalize.When it was done, Gianni's eyes returned to the girl on the ground.As far as he was concerned, Ivy Greene was dead.He brought his gaze a little upwards, towards his crotch area.The bulge showed just how aroused he had become.Ever since he was a teenager, the thought of female corpses had always aroused him.One of his biggest fantasies was to copulate with one.Behold, the opportunity presented itself to him on a platter.It wasn't
IVYI thought he left.When the door slammed, cutting off my sentence halfway, I thought he had left.But he returned only moments later, with eyes flashing a dangerous shade of red.It happened so quickly.One minute I was tied up, and the next I was free.That freedom only lasted a second, because his fingers were digging my scalp in a heartbeat.He dragged me by my hair out, and I couldn't quite remember all of the details that followed.Now he was in front of me, with a creepy glare in his darkened eyes.“I will make a woman out of you!” He bellowed.I didn't need an interpreter to tell me what that meant.My eyes moved to the jet's window. I was ready to plunge my body through it.If I didn't do that, I would lose a piece of me that could never be recovered.“I will make you my woman, Ivy Greene! Do you hear me? You will be my woman!”He lunged for me, and I rolled my body across the floor, to the window side.Jumping to my feet with the little strength I had, I held the handle a
Chaos ran rampant across the hallways of the Bratva villa, as everyone aware of the situation on ground moved around to follow instructions.Vladimir was amongst these people. He walked straight to Isabella Gambino's room to give her the reassurance he was certain she needed at this trying moment, before he would leave the villa.“Vlad!” She ran to meet him at the door, the moment he walked in. “They won't let me out, Vlad! No one will tell me what's going on.”“Belle,” he held her by her shoulders. “Listen to me. You need to breathe, so you can hear what I have to say.”“Screw breathing, Vlad. I just want to know she's going to be fine. She'll be fine, right?”“On my life, she will. She will be fine, Belle. That's why I need to be certain you're fine before I leave.”“What?” Her face scrunched. “You're going to the ruins?”“I have to. That's the only way–”“I'm coming with you then.”“What? No!”“I am, Bratva. It's my family. They're doing this because of me.”“No, they're doing this
The light in the room flickered, creating a zebra effect that caused dizziness.Ivy opened her eyes, one first, then the other followed.It took her a couple seconds to adjust her senses to a new environment.Of course the first thing she noticed were the flickering lights.Followed closely was a sinking realization that she wasn't standing on the soft soil that housed her beautiful flowers.On the contrary, she was in a stuffy room, with a damp stench and–She paused, and gasped.Her memories aligned in a heartbeat, and she remembered the man dressed head to toe in all black.“I turned, and he covered my mouth,” she muttered to herself.The danger of the situation she was in bellowed in her head, and her single instant thought was to escape.She tried to move her body to do just that, but quickly found out she couldn't.When the light flickered on, and held for more than a second, she looked down to see she was seated on a chair.Her hands were tied behind, and her legs too.It expla
Vladimir did not give Ivy any opportunity to respond.The moment he voiced out her options, he turned around, and walked out of the room.As he closed the door behind him, the spell that had pushed Ivy into a trance, broke.“The nerve of that blonde man! How can he– how dare he– who does he think h
IVYBar the man who pointed a gun to Grandma's temple earlier, and the one who approached me with determination in his eyes, I hadn't seen any other man this up close in five years.Usually, the men who dropped by our all female villa were delivery guys, who I only ever caught glimpses of.This one
IVYMy sleep paralysis demon always came around just before the first light of dawn.Grabbing me by the chest, and choking until I was completely paralyzed and under the mercy of the unknown.Because of her strength, yes, my demon is a girl, I call her Millicent. Millicent was absent tonight. She
IVY If anyone was going to die tonight, it surely wasn't going to be me. I lifted my hand to the edge of the cup, to stop it from reaching my lips. His eyes snapped down on me. “What are you doing?” “You drink first,” I said fearlessly. “What?” His face contorted. “It's for you, not for me.”
