IVY

I shouldn't have told him about the pregnancy, maybe I should have just aborted it and moved on with my life.
Now I feel like I'm going to regret this, all of this. He was way different from my man I met at the club the other day, that guy was full of life and fun and cheerful, this person was so different.
I'm just glad he didn't deny anything to do with me, I just wanted a little fund, to get my life together then start up a business so I'll be able to raise the baby, I could do it on my own, I really didn't need his help in this, but him coming to say I should drop the baby when due and leave? no, I wouldn't.
I want to stay with my baby, that's all I want, but I just needed a little financial help, not all this happening.
"Ben Is here", Cathy said coming into my room.
I sighed, "Should have never gone looking for him", I mumbled.
She came to hug me, "Ivy you got this, okay mean yeahh they're rumors about him being a killer and all but I don't know that's true, he's just really rich and obviously people will talk", she said.
"Cathy he pulled a gun to my head, he fucken threatened to kill me if he finds out the baby isn't mine, what else do you think??", I said terrified.
"Ivy you're 100% sure the baby is his? Ivy I don't want anything happening to you, please, be certain ", she said.
"1000% Cathy I won't lie to you ".
She nodded, "You can survive him okay? you're carrying his child he's not going to hurt you, at all, and if things get rough please, call me immediately I'll do the best I can do ", she said.
I hugged her tightly"Thank you so much Cathy, I'm gonna miss you, I swear ".
"I'm always here if you need me ", she said.
The door flew open and Ben barged in .
"I don't have all the time in the world, let's get moving ", he said grumpy as usual.
"I.. I haven't packed, and -"
"You don't need to carry anything with you, just come as you are ", he said.
I nodded and followed him behind.
He opened the car for me, I turned around to say goodbye to Cathy, then got into the car.
He closed the door, got in and zoomed off.
An hour later, we pulled up in front of The estate.
He literally owned the entire estate.
This place reeked of wealth, the people that lived here didn't touch the ground, all my life I've passed this estate thousands of times but I've never been in it.
His particular mansion was guarded by tones of security.
We drove in and he got out.
"Come on", he said and I followed him into the house.
His house was a glass house, everything was made out of glass and glitter.
It was all White with a touch of Grey and black.
"Follow me", Ben mumbled as we got upstairs.
We headed to his office and opened the door.
He was on his table again, airpods on his ear, looking all serious doing work.
He looked up immediately we came in.
His stare, it was just like that night, nothing changed, just his attitude.
"Leave us", he told Ben.
"I'm closing for the day, I think I'm done for today", Ben said.
"Yes Ben, thank you", he said and he left.
He relaxed on his chair and took his airpods off.
"How are you doing today?", he asked.
I nodded, "I'm fine".
He nodded too, "I need to explain something to you, I know you don't actually want to be here aiall but you have to understand that if you're actually carrying my child that's gonna be a lot".
"Why? it's just a baby".
He nodded, "People are gonna come after you, and they're gonna want to kill you, so I'm going to have to keep you under my watch".
"Kill me??", I was already panicking.
He shrugged, " You're Carrying my baby, heir to this company, so many people don't want that, and they can't get to me so obviously they're gonna get to you, and I can't allow that, so I'm going to have to keep you under my watch for the next 7 months, after that we'll know what to do next", he said.
I nodded, "Okay",I mumbled.
"Alright then we-"
The door immediately flew open and a blonde girl barged in raged with Ben behind her.
"I tried to stop her, I'm sorry", he said panting.
"How could you actually do this to me!!", she yelled.
He looked, unmoved, he just kept a normal face and watched her yell.
"You fucked another girl?? she's going to - fuckkkk", she yelled.
She turned to me, "You bitch!!!".
"Don't you dare yell at her Laura, ever",he defended.
He turned to Ben, "How did she know??", he asked.
"She saw me bring her in and started asking questions, you know Laura, she didn't let me breath", he said.
"This girl is carrying another man's pregnancy, she's just trying to pin it on you because she had the opportunity to sleep with you ", she turned to me, "You will not take my man away from me, you slut ".
"Laura I'm not going to repeat myself ", he said again.
She turned to him, "She's carrying your heir?? why would you do this to me?? I begged you for months, but you agreed to go raw with so random girl you met at a club? are you okay??!!"
"Laura keep your voice down ", Ben said.
"We're not in any relationship Laura, so just stop bluffing, geez", he said.
"You fucken daughter of a whore, I'm sure you forced yourself on him, you're a FUCKEN -"
I heard a gun cock and I ran cold.
He was pointing a gun at her.
He stood up and walked to her.
"I get to choose who I fuck with and not, and that is none of your business, we were never in a relationship whatsoever, so please, save me the stress of having to kill you for raising your voice at me and get the fuck out of my office ", he said calmly, very very calmly.
"But.. but -"
"Do not fucken say a word again Laura, just leave. And if I ever hear that you bullied her or talked rudely to her, I will burn you alive Laura, and you know I will ", he said.
Even though the gun was not pointed at me, I could swear I peed in my panties.
She stared at me with hate and disgust and immediately left.
He sighed and dropped the gun on his table and rubbed his temple.
"Can I go one day without drama", he groaned.
"Ben please check if Mrs Smith has arranged her room and everything so she can retire for the night", he said.
Ben nodded and left.
I then suddenly released the breath I was holding that I didn't even know.
"Don't worry, you're not gonna be seeing that everyday ", he said.
I nodded, still afraid.
"Uhm tomorrow, the doctor is going to come check you up, and all, to be sure you're healthy to carry the baby and all".
"Okay ", I said.
"It's ready ", Ben called from outside.
"You can go and get settled in and rest, we'll talk tomorrow when I'm in a better mood", he said.
I nodded and turned around to leave.
Then I stopped, "Luther ", I called.
He turned to me, there was this thing in his grey gloomy eyes, something I saw in his eyes that night when I called his name.
"Thank you, for everything ", I said.
He nodded, "You're welcome ", he said.
I opened the door and closed it behind me.
This is going to be one crazy journey.
