IVY'S WORLD

_______________ CASPIAN______________

The week has been a night mare. The Russian new bastard Don has officially declared war and war he will get. He's been helped and working with Andy. I have to chase down the bastard every night according to information provided by Nick but the bastard always escape each time we get closer. Nick is yet to locate his exact hideout. I have increased the security around Ivy. The ones that follows her discreetly and the ones that goes with Mario.

She has objected about moving around with security but I have to coax her to agree. I don't want to tell her yet about her ex or she will run off. After all she ran away from home because of him so why won't she do the same now and that scares me the most. I have to get the bastard before he gets to her.

Before I could come home, she's asleep and I leave before she wakes up to catch up with office work.

It's like we are living in the same house but don't see often.

I miss her. I miss touching her.

She has been busy with the Charity event coming up and that's a good thing because she wouldn't notice my absence. Even though I'm not with her, I gets update on everything she does and where she goes. I hate to do this but it's for her safety.

Getting a call from Mario about a car tailing them on their way back... Although they found a way to loose them, I'm still very pissed.

I had to deploy every means I have to find the bastard. I had to stay back at the hide out as I'm meeting with other Dons for help. They keep asking if she's my wife and the reason they should add her on the protection list if she's not related to me.

After the meeting, Brandon came up to me and suggested I officially marry her. That if she has my name attached to her, she would be protected automatically.

The truth is I wouldn't want to marry her out of necessity, and I don't know if she's ready and willing for marriage. I don't want her to run off when she finds out about this side of me and hiding her ex activity as well.

I had earlier arranged for after party for few close pals and family after the Charity ball. But I guess I will take my chances and propose. Fuck I still need to meet her parents. The event is in two days. How do I fly to Florida and leave her here alone.

Brandon promised to watch out for her and besides Mario and Martial are here as well. After much deliberation I flew out to Florida to meet her parents.

It was a game of gamble. Every information I need has been provided by Nick. I met with his brother first in his studio who was very Happy that Ivy finally has someone looking out for her. I told him of my plans with Ivy and he made the arrangements to have dinner with his parents and other brother. Fortunately his parents are in town.

I met her parents who are more cautious because they knew of the Ashers and know of the power I held. They had no objection with the marriage. I told them the marriage will take place in two weeks and every arrangements to come Down to new York will be taken care of.

After my visit, I immediately flew back home. I called my parents and told them I would be introducing Ivy to them and I plan on proposing to her after the party.

My parents were shocked because they knew I have been adamant about bringing any woman in my life although I knew that Emma has been feeding them with gist about Ivy and I . Thanks to Emma, I have less work to do.

I had also called Emma and told her to turn the after party to proposal with just her friends, Brandon and Tony.

Here I am, staring at the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. She's holding a book but fell asleep while reading it. I slightly touched her face and moved the hair that was on her face.

I just can't imagine a life without her now. I gently scooped her up, she turned and opened her eyes for a moment but close it back. I have always known she's a light sleeper. I took her to my room and lay her gently on the bed. I know she's awake now but she's pretending to still be asleep. I left her to go freshen up.

I'm scared of how she would react and what she will say. I know she's mad at me for so many reasons but I can't explain myself yet. I wish I can but she might run off and leave me.

Coming out, I put on one random jogger and joined her on the bed.

I know you're not asleep "I whispered into her ear.

After a while... She turned around to look at me. She accessed my face and asked.

Where have you been and why haven't you been picking my calls?

I don't know what to answer and scared that if I open my mouth I would be spilling my guts to her so I kept mute.

I'm sorry, I finally voiced out but couldn't say more than that.

I pleaded with my eyes and kissed her forehead.

God, how I wish I can grab her and do so many things to her.

She turned back without saying anything. I couldn't read what's on her mind. I couldn't dictate if she's still mad at me because so many emotions passed through her eyes.

I drew her closer and whispered my good night to her. I slept off after a while and that was the best sleep I have had for a while now.

I woke up the next morning and she's no where to be found. I guess she's still mad at me. Who wouldn't be though.

I went in to take my bath but I got lost in my thoughts until I felt her touch. She snaked her hand around me, Hugging me from the back.

We stayed like that for a while before she started washing me.

It takes all the energy in me not to pounce on her. Her eyes are soft and her hands are gentle.

I washed her too and we stepped out of the shower. She had brought in food for us and we ate in silence. Comfortable silence. It's as if she understood my silence.

After eating, I drew her back to me. Hugging her and feeling her heartbeat on mine. It was peaceful. I want to kiss her and make love to her but I held myself.

Surprisingly, she kissed me and I wasted no time in returning the kiss. She was in urgent need to fill herself but I slowed it down. I needed to tell her how I feel without saying a word.

Her towel got loose and I could feel her soft body. My hands got to work and it's a blissful story.

I never planned to fuck her but she gave her permission and I'm always at her service. We made the most sweetest love that I nearly asked her to marry me right there.

After a while, she got up and went in to prepare for the day. I had booked a spa ppointment for her and her girls.

When she left, I got ready as well and left. I have got things to take care of. I called Nick to give me update, but he said I should give him one more day to confirm his data. I had earlier spoke with the security team and told them that if anything happens to Ivy they will pay with their heads.

Heading over to the green house. I have an announcement to make and some more preparation to do.

Getting there, everyone is already there and waiting for my arrival.

"Don Moretti" they all acknowledged and sat back down when I took my own seat. 

I signaled to Brandon to start. He display a photo of Ivy and I started speaking. She's going to be my wife in less than two weeks. Everything about her is now under my protection and she's going to be the mother of my children.

I expect maximum respect from all of you to her. Disrespect her and you have disrespected me as well. Is that understood? I asked.

Yes Don. They all replied.

Next is a picture of Dimitri the new Russian Don and Andy Giovanni. They have declared war and has entered my territory. I have reached out in diplomatic ways but he's not cooperating besides he wants my wife to be. His target is my wife and no body and absolutely no one lays a hand on what's mine.

A bounty hunt was place on his head. Checking everyone's reactions. I locked eyes with Brandon, communicating our silent message for our secret plan.

I think we have a mole/spy. Nick said.

I agree too. Brandon chipped in.

How? I asked.

Think about how he always finds a way to escape each time we goes to hunt him down. Think about how he has information about us and can always slip out of our finger. I mean every damn time we're this close to getting him, he always slip out like a snake. Nick said.

I thought about it and it's true. Nick is one of the best we have when it comes to techs, finding stuffs even with little or no information. He's got the highest rating and I'm most glad he's with me. I have helped him build his company but he still offered to stay with me.

We now came up with the plan to call every one together and place a bounty on Giovanni.

Placing a bounty means, he would be hunt down by any member of the gang for any about of money the person wants or any favour the person wants.

It would give the mole a chance to either betray him or lead us to him. Either ways we would get Giovanni and also get the mole.

Before anyone enters the green house, all your phones will be dropped on the first floor... Everyone knows this rules.

Nick would take the opportunity to check their phones and know who has been in communication with him.

None of the them has seen Nick or knows what he does for the underworld. He's like our eyes and ears that no one knows. They all thought all information comes from Brandon. Brandon too has his fare share on tech but he's no match to Nick.

The plan was set and a code green was sent to all the people that needs to be there.

Dinngggg... I checked my phone and it's a message from Nick. It was a simple yet understanding message "done"

Any questions gentleman, and if it's a NO, the meeting is ended. I looked around to see if anyone wants to talk.

Are we invited to the wedding Don? Someone asked. It's Marcello.

No! The underworld is off limits to her. She's not to be involved with the affaires that goes on here. I spoke with authority.

Any more questions or are we good to go.

They started pressing the green button to sign off themselves and left the meeting room.

Everyone left but Brandon and I.

We checked the list sent by Nick and Marcello was marked red. He has been in contact with Giovanni.

Fuck!!! How did we miss that.

He's always with us and he's the one that leads the rage in place of Mario since Mario has been assigned to Ivy.

Nick asked us to meet at his place in 30 minutes so we left for his place.

Getting there, he's already tracking Marcello's movements.

He offered us drinks as we got seated.

The plan now is to monitor Marcello but how do we do it without him finding out because the guy is smart.

We decided to use Gina. Gina is one of the spy we placed in the club. We know that Marcello has a thing for Gina but Gina thinks he's a knock off. She never liked him but enjoys playing with him.

We called Gina and ask her to wait for us at the club.

Getting there it's just I and Brandon. Gina does his normal flirting with Brand who always runs away from her after she pulled a prank on him.

I briefed Gina of her mission and she happily took it.

It's simple, she needs to confirm that both Marcello and Giovanni meets and he's the mole before we take any further action.

Checking the time, it's time for me to go get ready for the party and get my girl engaged. I hope it's goes well though. Her brother has flown in last night and it's a secret.

Ivy has made the party an all white theme. According to her it's to show that what we are doing is purely out of our heart and no bad intention. It shows that the kids mind and heart are as clear as white and our outfits should go with our intentions.

Brandon thinks it's cute but I think it's brilliant as well as stupid. 

I arrived at my penthouse to get ready but I wasn't prepared to deal with the pest I saw there.

Bianca?

Blair?

Barbie ?

What's her name again?

It's the girl I fucked on my office desk that night while thinking about Ivy...

I remember her because she has been a fling of mine for a while... I don't even need to call her, she can just show up and we fuck and everyone moves on but I remember she's been clingy lately, reason why I showed up at the party with her. I forgot I haven't discharged her properly.

What the fuck are you doing here?

Oh... Baby, I haven't seen you in ages and you have black listed my number. You haven't been coming here either.

I miss you, and I have come to give you the best night ever...

Looking at her now, she looks so fake and disgusting. How did I ever fuck this thing.

Look... I don't want to ever see you anywhere around me and you are prohibited from coming to this building. It's time I change the passcode too. How the fuck did she even enter?

Why? Are you breaking up with me? She asked.

You must be delusional. We were never dating. We fuck and go our separate ways. You get the money and the fame of being with me. They sign you for model just because of a picture of you and I in a party.

You got more from me, it's just a fuck so get the hell out of this house and never come back. I barked at her.

Anger taking over the more I look at her.

You can't use and dump me... You can't discard me like a toy like that. I love you and I care for you. I'm the one for you and you're the one for me.

She fake cries...

I'm getting really pissed and I don't want to do something I will regret, so I picked her up and threw her out of the house. I don't want to ever lay my eyes on you. Ever. Got that?

You will regret this Caspian Asher, if I can't have you no one will. She screamed

I slammed the door and dialed the security downstairs.

I don't want to ever see that trash around this premises ever again.

The last thing I want now is to be entangled in any rumors or online gossip.

I have been trying to keep a low profile ever since Ivy came into my life. For her sake and for mine too.

I called Brandon to take care of her and make sure I don't ever see her again..

Now we have a party to attend.
