IVY'S WORLD

________________IVY__________________

Getting my hair and make up done feels like I'm going to die...

Guess what? Emma is the one that brought them and she came herself to dress me up because according to her, she doesn't want me to ruin my makeup or dress. Lord help me.

Apparently she's instructing them on what to do with my hair and how my makeup should look like.

I can't count how many times I have wanted to just run away.

The torture as I call it finally ended and Emma helped me into my gown. Now I understood her reason for coming, I definitely couldn't have done it alone.

Wow, I breathe out, looking at myself in the mirror. Emma was speechless as well. I feel like an Angel.

You're definitely an angel. Emma whispered.

I spoke out loud...

Emma guided me downstairs and whispered something to Mario which I didn't hear...

She told me to go ahead as she will be joining me later...

Mario opened the limo door for me. Mr Asher really outdid himself. A freaking Limo. I helped myself with a wine to calm my nerves because I'm beginning to shake as it's really happening. Cas put me in charge of everything and I'm going to see my dream to life today.

In less than 20 minutes the car pulled up at the entrance of the event, where the red carpet is. Still trying to calm myself the car door was open and I looked up to see Cas.

Wow, he look so edible. He look angelic. For someone who was ravaging my pussy some hour ago, he really look so innocent and calm.

He smiled and brought out his hand to help me out.

I gladly took his hand as I came out of the car.

The paparazzi are doing their jobs as usual. Asking really annoying questions.

Mr Ascher, who is she?

Is she your fling for tonight?

Are you both dating?

Is she pregnant for you?

Why are you with her and not a known model?

I nearly burst laugh but I kept on giggling hearing their ridiculous questions. These guys should really up their game in the paparazzi world.

You look so beautiful Tesoro, Cas whispered to me.

And you look so handsome Baby. I told him.

We entered the hall and it's wow.

The grand ballroom was a sea of elegance, filled with flowing white gowns and sleek white tuxedos. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a soft, shimmering glow across the room. The air was sweet with the scent of fresh roses and the gentle hum of conversation. It was the annual Charity Ball, a prestigious event known for its grandeur and exclusivity. Everything felt alive and I couldn't help but be proud at myself and Ava has done a really good job.

I stood near the entrance, my heart pounding as I took in the sight. I had been to such an opulent event before but this is an event I planned myself from the scratch. My gown, a gift from Emma, was a delicate white satin that hugged my figure and flowed gracefully to the floor. It was simple yet elegant, with intricate lace details along the neckline. Suddenly I felt out of place and yet strangely drawn to the atmosphere, as if I'm am stepping into a different world.

Cas held my hand and whispered I'm here with you. Relax, you did a great job and I'm very proud of you.

I glanced around, noticing how everyone seemed to glide effortlessly across the polished marble floor. Conversations flowed easily, and laughter echoed softly in the background.

I took a deep breath, reminding myself why I am here. I had not been invited but I planned the whole event. It's was my job and as such I need to get a hold of myself. I have no much social standing or wealth, but because of my passion for a cause close to her heart: raising a cancer awareness through this charity is a big deal for me. I had been working tirelessly, organizing and making sure everything is going well till this day. Thanks to Ava and other team members who took their jobs seriously as well.

Cas took me to our table where I met his parents, Brandon and few other persons. Cas did the introduction.

You're such a beauty my dear. Cas mum said.

Thank you ma'am.

Oh common, call me Audrey, I have heard so much about you. And I must say my son really made a good choice this time. She said.

I was to reply but sighted my friends and Emma in the next table with Tony and Ian, as well as another woman with her son and OMG Stephen!

Just as I was about to move, Ava came and informed me it's time for the opening remark before the master of ceremony would take over.

Brandon helped me up the stage and I stood looking around everywhere. It's beautiful looking at everything from up here.

The kids from the hospitals has a section reserved for them. I smiled and started my speech.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen from all works of life. Today we Mark the annual charity event which was birthed my Madam Stella Asher, bless her soul. The mother to Mr Donatus Asher and grandmother to Caspian Asher the current CEO of Asher's group of company.

Today we have in our presence, the very children in which we are holding this event. We are all here because of them and they are here because of us.

I hope every one of you enjoy the evening to the fullest as we have so many things to unravel.

Thank you and have fun.

There's no need for a long talk because these people are just here to throw in some cash and show off their wealths.

Brandon helped me back down as the MC took over... Cas has disappeared from the table so I have no reason to stick to the table. I'm still nervous about just meeting his parents so let's just say I'm avoiding them.

I rushed over to my girls table hugging them. Ian is looking so cute. I kissed his face as he giggles.

My brother coming here is still a mystery to me. I hugged him and whispered "I miss you" to him.

How are you here? I mean how did you find me here... I had tears in my eyes already but he shushed me and asked me not to shed a single tear.

We sat down and everything was going really well. Ava is managing well too. I get to know the other woman is Mario's wife and their kid. He and Ian is almost same age but he's four.

Few times I have sighted Cas speaking with his business partners along side his dad. I admire the man and people in my life. 

The auction started after a while and all the paintings where all beautiful... We have collected all the paintings and turned them to a 3D paintings. It all came out really nice. 

One of the piece was sold at 10 million dollars.

I wasn't surprised as I have gotten used to them.

The girls went round to make sure there's adequate supply of drinks and snacks... The food stand is at the corner of the hall where you can go and help yourself.

I called Ava over and instructor her to ensure the kids are ok and are fed well. I know they will have to go back at some point. I told her to get Ian who is now sitting on my laps and Mario's son whose name is kine some food and juice.

At one point, I stepped out onto the terrace to catch my breath. The cool night air was a welcome relief, and I gazed out at the garden below, its white roses glowing softly in the moonlight. I had come to the ball feeling like an outsider, but now I understood that I have something valuable to contribute. This was my chance to make a difference, and was determined not to let it slip away.

As the night wore on, the ballroom transformed. The orchestra played a waltz, and couples twirled across the floor, their gowns swirling like petals in the wind. I watched, mesmerized, until Mrs Audry Asher joined me on the terrace.

"You did well tonight, my dear," she said, a hint of a smile on her lips. "You reminded me why we had started this charity in the first place. It's easy to get caught up in the glamour, but people like you bring us back to what really matters."

I blushed, grateful for the compliment. "I just hope I can do more."

Mrs Asher's eyes softened. "You will. This is just the beginning."

I went back in to meet Cas who said he has been looking for me for a dance.

He led me to the dance floor and we danced to the slow music playing.

I love you Ivy. Cas said.

I blushed and smiled. That was out of the blue but why not.

I Love you too Cas.

You can't leave me for any reason, would you? He asked.

I don't want to leave, I replied.

I saw the emotions in his eyes. Like he's scared about something.

Caspian Asher? Scared? About what? Me leaving him? I have never considered leaving him but why would I do that..

You trust me right? He asked again.

I do trust you. I replied.

Ivy I want you to know that everything I do and will ever do is for our happiness and your protection.

Like I said before now. You make me try so many things and no woman has ever kept me on my toes.

Are you confessing your feelings right now, at the middle of a ball dance, in front of all this people. I teased.

Go up to the room booked and get changed we have somewhere else to be. Hurry up and don't keep me waiting.

Where are we going? I asked as we left the dance floor.

You will find out soon, he replied.

As I left the ball that night, I felt a renewed sense of purpose. The white gowns, the glittering chandeliers, and the elegant setting had been beautiful, but what I would remember most were the connections I had made and the hope I had kindled. I knew there would be challenges ahead, but I was ready to face them, knowing that sometimes, even the smallest spark could light up a room.

I went out through the back door and meet Mario and Scar who escorted me to the room.

I didn't notice the bag in her hand until she dropped it on the bed.

She helped me out of the white dress and heels which was already killing me. Honestly I wish I could just sleep now but curiousness wouldn't let me.

Scar touch my make up and hair then helped me put on the cloth. It was the red dress Emma got for me. And the black heels.

We stepped out and she led me outside into the car. This time Cas was sitting inside.

She disappeared almost immediately.

Where are we going baby? I asked again.

You will find out soon my love. Patience love. He answered smiling.

I noticed he's now wearing a black tux with a red rose in his pocket to compliment my dress.

Five minutes drive and he brought out a blind and asked I put it on.

I calmly did even though my heart is hammering like a bomb.

He guided me down the car and gently led me to where I don't know.

I held unto him so tightly.

We got to a place where I could hear some violin playing a Melody. 

He slowly removed the blind and I took my time to adjust to the surrounding.

It's a sea party. By the side was decorated. Wait! What? And thats when I saw it.

WILL YOU MARRY ME IVY?

I quickly turned to him and saw him kneeling on one knee.

Ivy, Tesoro, these past three months with you have been some of the happiest time of my life. From the very first time we met, I felt a connection that I've never felt before, and every moment we've spent together has only made that feeling stronger. I love how you make me laugh, how you understand me, and how you bring out the best in me.

I know it's only been a short time, but I can't imagine my life without you. So, I want to ask: will you make me and make me the happiest person and say yes to spending the rest of our lives together? Will you let me fuck and eat your pussy for the rest of our lives? Will you marry me?

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I nod my head in a yes.

He slide in the ring, got up and we shared a kiss.

I began hearing voices which indicates that we are no longer alone.

I turned to see everyone.

His parents, the squad, my brother, Tony, Brandon, Emma, few others.

His parents hugged me and welcomed me to the family.

My kiddo is actually getting married. Stephen said. Hugging me.

Tears ran down my cheeks... How did I found this happiness. One minutes I was running away from my ex and the next minutes I found someone that really loves me.

Emma was all over me screaming that she has officially gotten a sister. 

Come on Ivy, the Event planner is getting married in less than two weeks and we have a lot to do.

Emma said.

Wait what? Why?

Two weeks?

I turned immediately to Caspian who is smiling sheepishly.

I can't wait any much longer love. He shrugged.

Cas!! I have a lot to do. I need to inform my parents too, I mean I .....

Shush... He kissed my lips. I have met your parents and they will be here for the wedding besides your brother is here too. He said.

I guess you made it happened. I mean when did you arrange all these and met my parents. Why didn't you tell me.

Have you forgotten whom I am baby?

Cocky as much. Why did I bother.

Your cocky husband to be. You like the cock right?

Picture time guys Ella shouted.

Trust Ella to capture every event and feel like the owner. We took some snaps and everyone called it a night.

Just when I thought I have my fiance to myself, he got a call and he has to go.

He instructed Mario to take me home safely.

I greeted everyone their good night as well as Cas Who promised to get back home as soon as he can.
