In the Knight mansion, Ivy is in a delusional state of mind. In her dreams she travelled back to that night and is dreaming as if those men are trying to kill her as well. In her dreams, she is holding her mother's dead body in her arms and is trying to ward those monsters away. "No, go away. Don't come closer" she screamed and threw something at the person standing near the entrance of the room. In reality, it's Rhonda who was standing there. "Ivy, calm down" Rhonda tried to pacify and coax Ivy again, but Ivy couldn't hear anything except the screaming sound of Mrs. Knight from that night. "Go away" Ivy threw something else at Rhonda who dodged it. Watching Stevenson Nina up close triggered everything again. Nikolai doesn't know the depths of her fear. That's why he took her to the Nina mansion. By the time Nikolai came to the Knight mansion, he found Rhonda waiting for him anxiously with blood oozing from her right palm. "Ivy is behaving oddly" Rhonda said unable to find bette

In the Knight mansion, Nikolai finds himself holding Ivy in his arms while she is sleeping peacefully in his arms. He is not restless or angry to get out of there and push her away like he usually does. He developed an aversion for affection and physical intimacy with anyone. Hugs, touches, kisses were non existent in his life after his parents death. Even when he is fu*king a woman, he will not kiss or touch her. Hell, he doesn't even like to see their faces. They will be in their stomach while he uses their body and chase after his release. They will be kicked out after that. He is an ass*ole for doing that. But he never touched any unwilling women. 'Until you almost forcefully undressed Ivy ' his subconscious reminded him. He is regretting his actions now. He is regretting putting her through hell after everything she endured. 'I am sorry pet. I promise I will avenge our parents death and kill everyone who wronged us' he vowed to her silently. His mind and body are at peace. He

It's been a month since Ivy and Jason were sent home. In this one month, Ivy started to feel lonely and strangely she found herself thinking about Nikolai more often than she liked. So many things have changed in her life in this one week. She was promoted as the team lead in the designer department. A new manager replaced Josh. Now Ivy is heading the hundred million project which they won in the recent competition. And the new manager of the designer department is surprisingly sweet. Her colleagues who previously used to taunt and bully her are being more respectful and cautious around her, at least most of them. And there is also an unpleasant addition in her team, that is Catherine. Until Catherine started working in the company, Ivy didn't know that she was Nikolai's fiancee. For some reason, it made Ivy feel empty inside. Despite being back home, she was feeling more miserable than when she was in the Knight mansion. Their parents deadth anniversary came and went. Nikolai donate

"I am s..." Ivy couldn't finish her sentence. Because Nikolai pulled her into him and crashed his lips to hers. Their first kiss. He didn't kiss anyone before her, and she didn't kiss anyone either. He never had this urge to kiss anyone before. But with Ivy, everything is different. He wants to own her, he wants to claim her as his own, which is not possible.His kiss is not gentle. It's rough and demanding. She found herself consumed by his kiss. He nipped at her lips and tasted every inch of her mouth and devoured her as if she was his last last meal. His arms wandered all around her body, touching and feeling her soft feminine curves. He kissed her until her lips were swollen. When he is sure he can control himself and will not take her body then and there, he pulled back and touched his forehead with hers. He is not a fool. It's clear that he likes Ivy. But too bad, they cannot be together. There are too many things coming in between them. It's better for her sanity and safety t

It's been a while since Stevenson sat behind a wheel. He was always driven around by a driver if he ever wanted to go out. But today he didn't want to risk exposing the secret which they buried ten years ago. His arms are shaking and he is unable to handle the high end car he was currently driving. The wheels screeched, and whirled uncontrollably as he drove like a maniac to reach his destination faster. His unskilled driving and the horse power of the vehicle were the worst combination. What he didn't know was that, Nikolai's men tampered with the car in such a way that, the fuel tank will catch fire and his car will blow up into smoke before blasting and burning into ashes.Not too soon, the sparks from the friction of his tires caused a chain reaction and helped to give momentum to Nikolai's plan. His fuel tank caught fire, which Stevenson was unaware of until smoke started coming inside the car and suffocating him. The car came to a sudden stop right in the middle of the intersec
