"What is bothering you?" Nikolai asked Ivy calmly. His breath is fanning her face and he is not leaving any space between their bodies. His hold is possessive and his touch gentle. She shouldn't allow him to touch her, especially after she saw him with Catherine a while ago. But just like how a moth is attracted to the flame, she is attracted to him. Despite knowing that she would burn, she is still willing to allow his flame to engulf her as a whole. She didn't miss the fact that he came looking for her leaving his fiancee in his cabin. When she didn't reply, he tightened his hold over her hair to the point where she could feel the sting. "Ahh.." a very soft and sweet sound left her lips when she felt the pain. He liked the sound. He like everything about her. "I asked you a question" he reminded her again. He pulled her hair more, arching her neck. His hold around her waist tightened further to the point that she is now standing on her tip toes while he is holding almost all o

That evening, Ivy's driver and bodyguard noticed that someone was tailing their car from the moment they started from the NK group. Ivy obviously did not notice it, but her bodyguards did. They turned the vehicle suddenly to another sub road, which the person in the other car was not expecting. So he couldn't follow after Ivy's car and had to move forward on the main road. Ivy's bodyguards successfully got rid of that car behind and safely took Ivy back to the Twin pearls. As soon as Ivy got out of the car, they informed about the same to their boss who instructed them to let him know about everything when it comes to Ivy. "Boss, there was a car tailing us just now. We got rid of it. There were two men in that car. I noted down the car number" the bodyguard explained everything to Nikolai. Nikolai who was on his way to his warehouse immediately took a detour to the twin pearls. "Is she alright?" he inquired about Ivy. The bodyguard assured that Ivy is safe. "Alright, call

Kelly and Adam were trying to escape from the borders of Aquila undetected. But it was easier said than done. Christian's men are everywhere, searching for Kelly. "Adam, look. He sent his men for me. They will kill us if they find me. You have to leave before they can find you alone with me. They will kill you too" Kelly urged Adam. They both were sitting inside a bus. Their bus was stopped along with other vehicles that were crossing the border. Some men were searching for someone in every vehicle. It's easy to detect Kelly and Adam if those men search inside the bus. "Kelly, we are in this together. I will not let them take you away this time. I have a plan" he explained his plan to her. According to their plan, he stuffed his jacket and a few of his clothes under her top and tied a scarf around those clothes to make it look as if she is pregnant. They covered the clothes with her top. Kelly already changed the colour of her hair from black to blonde colour. They chopped her

The next morning, It's after ten in the morning. Ivy woke up feeling as if she had been thrown under a running train before pulling her out again. Her whole body is aching. The places where she doesn't know might ache are stinging now. "Hmmm" she moaned when she tried to move. Every single muscle is screaming with pain. Her throat is dry and there is a strange after taste in her mouth. She doesn't want to wake up. She wants to sleep for a whole day. But she is farmished. Her stomach is making a riot with hunger. "Pet" a soft murmur made her fly open before they landed on the man who could make her heart flutter."Mr. Knight" she tried to sit up, but winced with discomfort. He chuckled lightly, which is new. She never saw him laughing before. His whole face is transformed with a youthful glow. He looked even more handsome than before, if that's even possible. Nikolai caressed the length of her arm with a soft smile playing on his lips. He doesn't remember how many times he took

"Jason is here" Nikolai shared a minute before the door bell rang. Ivy is both surprised and happy to hear this. Jason is her best friend. In fact, he is her only friend. Recently she befriended, Luna. But for as long as she remembered, it was only Jason who always stood by her side through thick and thin. She was deeply sad when she rejected his proposal and confessed her feelings for Nikolai instead. But hiding her feelings is equal to betraying his trust by leading him on. So she spoke the truth instead. Her intention was never to hurt him. But she was doing the right thing for both of them and their friendship. When he left her that night, she became too sad. But she couldn't go after him and hurt him more. So she decided to give him time to come to terms with the reality of their situation. She was hoping that he would soon understand her. Finally after a week he came back.Ivy beamed with happiness and tried to stand up Nikolai's lap to open the door for Jason. But Nikolai s
