_________________Caspian_____________
The following week was filled with family and friends still fanning over the twins and Ian had been a wonderful brother for his age to the twins. That boy doesn't allow anyone to stress his mum. He watches keenly as the twins takes their baths and feeds. He had asked his mum one day to allow him feed the babies eggs.
As the days passed and life settled into a new rhythm with the twins, I remained haunted by an uneasy feeling about Ivy's accident. I had kept replaying the events over and over, questioning how something so sudden could have happened on a routine trip. As Mario had said that it wasn't any coincidence and something about that day didn't sit right with him. I would tell Ivy for sure but I just want to get my facts right.
Our parents has been a big help as well. They help relieve Ivy of some works. One night Ivy had stayed awake because the twins are fussing and couldn't sleep. I helped her feed them and massaged her body. Her friends do come over too and she takes that time to get her rest. I had instructed Mather and Tyler to always ensure she eats well and provide anything she needs.
One night, after Ivy and the babies were asleep, I retreated to my study and summoned my best friend and head of security, Brandon and Nick. Caspian leaned back, his expression stern. "Brandon, I need to know everything about that accident. Every detail." They had suggested we take this out of the house for security reasons. Brandon has asked I meet them at the townhouse for the briefing.
Now it's time to check on who the fuck wants to fuck with my family again.
I went down to the upper townhouse where they had kept Dimitri ever since they caught him.
Brandy and others are already waiting for me there.
I got there and went straight to Dimitri's cell-like room.
Dimitri ! Someone has fucked with my family and if I find out you have something to do with it you are dead immediately. I barked. My voice dripping with so much anger and determination. I took a step to leave and remembered he has been going on and on about how I killed his family and what's not.
And oh... I never killed your family.. your cousin did. He killed them to get you to work with him and not seek for the throne. He killed them to cover his mess. Remember the gasoline operation 34D that's it. I'm telling you this because you deserve to know the truth before you die because you will definitely die if you have a hand in what Happened to my wife.
I can see his fear although he tried to mask it. I can feel his resolves annd conflicts in his eyes but it's not gonna help him.
Enjoy your few minutes alone. I will be back.
I strode down the hall up to the room where everyone is waiting for me.
Report!!!
Sliding myself in a seat I got the highest shock of my life.
Brandon nodded, understanding the unspoken weight in my words. He had his own suspicions and had already started an investigation behind the scenes. Within days, Brandon returned with a report that left no doubt: Ivy's accident had not been an accident at all. But had to keep calm until Ivy is back home and people tending to her. He signalled to Nick who handed me a file report on everything they had gathered.
As I read the report, my face hardened. Nick had traced the sabotage back to two unexpected figures— my own ex, Candice, scratch that. I never dated the bitch but she's one of the bitch I fucked for long before Ivy entered my life. The next person was actually a suspect Ivy's ex-fiancé, but what's confusing is that Andy would never want to kill Ivy as he's obsessed with her or is there something I'm missing.
Candice had once been an influential figure in my world, Our relationship is one of power and status, She comes any time I call her for a fuck and she need the power and status that comes with having a picture together with me. she's a model and it helped her that she's rolling with me but she had never accepted that we can't be together as lovers. I, too, was bitter over women's love for my money and had sworn never to allow any woman dictate my life but this bitch had been a Leach to me, the sex is nice and I don't mind keeping her around for a while.
Candice unable to let go of his jealousy and resentment to me that I married Ivy. I remembered the last time I had set her off with a Stern warning.
Either one of them was a threat. But together, they had conspired to harm Ivy, hoping to shatter the life I and Ivy had built.
The evidence showed how they'd orchestrated the entire "accident." Andy had connections in the underworld, people willing to carry out favors for a price, while Candice provided detailed information about Ivy's routines and vulnerabilities. She had been monitoring her for a while. They'd arranged for the car that collided with Ivy's car to be tampered with, aiming to create an "accident" that would put Ivy in harm's way. Neither had anticipated the strength of Ivy or the network of support around me. I guess both of them didn't do their home work well enough. Well, they would be dancing to the tune of their foolish actions.
My anger was palpable as I absorbed the full extent of which these two idiots went to get to me. My fists clenched, jaw tightening as I tried to steady myself. For a moment, I could only think of the risks Ivy and my children had faced, all because of two people blinded by resentment and jealousy. My mind raced through a storm of emotions—anger, protectiveness, and a fierce need to shield my family.
I raised my eyes up from the files and ask. Where are they now?
We took them to the heartland. Brandon answered.
Take the other bastard here to the same place. I will visit them myself. I taped him on the shoulder whispering my thank you to them as I head home to my wife and kids.
That night, I shared the truth with Ivy, carefully choosing my words as I explained the conspiracy. Her face paled as she processed the whole thing, especially from someone she had nothing to do with. I held her close, my hand gently running through her hair as I reassured her, my voice low but determined.
"Ivy, I promise you, they'll never hurt us again. This ends now."
I want to see them. She responded.
I was shocked as I didn't expect such response but I trust her and understands why she needed to do so, and so I didn't question her.
I reassured her I would arrange for that.
In the days that followed, I set a plan in motion, calling on my most trusted allies to dismantle Candice and Andy's influence and connections piece by piece. I made it clear that any threat to my family would be dealt with swiftly and decisively. With Brandon and Nick at my side, they ensured that Candice and Andy would face the consequences of their actions, left with nothing but the ruins of their schemes.
Through it all, I stayed close to Ivy and our children, my protective instincts sharpened. We had been through a trial by fire, but our love and resilience had seen us through. Ivy felt safer than ever in my embrace, knowing that no matter what came, we would face it together.
As we watched over our sleeping babies, we shared a quiet promise: that nothing, and no one, would come between the family we had fought so hard to protect.
That night I told Ivy we would go see them. She understood what I meant and the next morning after our breakfast. Our parents volunteered to watch the children as we told them we're going out on a date.
I have actually planned a date for us but we would go see them before I take my woman for myself.
We left the house, as soon as our parents arrived. They had ignored our greetings and running towards the kids room. We smiled knowing that the children have got four grown adults at their feet. I can't wait until they start walking around the house.

Dimitri's fate was sealed the moment he was caught after Ivy's kidnapping. He had thought he was untouchable, using his connections and clever maneuvers to evade capture for months. But my rage was swift and unforgiving when it came to anyone who dared to harm my family. The day my men tracked him down, Dimitri was dragged to the depths of my heartland—a hidden dungeon designed for those foolish enough to betray me or the family.
Brandon had moved him to the heartland after that might.
The dimly lit space was cold and foreboding, its walls thick and silent. This wasn't a place meant for mercy; it was a place of reckoning. They chained Dimitri in a cell far from the surface, leaving him to contemplate the gravity of his choices in the darkness. Days turned into weeks as he was kept isolated, fed only enough to survive, his only visitors my trusted men who came in and out, each bearing the silent warning that Dimitri's fate lay solely in my hands.
Finally, we are here I had decided it was time to confront him. We entered the cell, his presence casting a long shadow on the stone floor. My gaze was cold, my expression betraying none of the fierce rage I had felt when Ivy had been taken. I had long since moved past anger; now, I am a man simply delivering justice.
Ivy looked up to me with a smile and unspoken words.
Dimitri looked up, a flicker of fear in his eyes as we stepped closer. My silence was more unnerving than any threats he could have made.
"Did you really think you'd get away with it, Dimitri?" My voice was low, edged with an iciness that made Dimitri shiver.
Dimitri tried to maintain his composure, but under My steady, unrelenting stare, the fear became visible. "I— I didn't think…" he stammered, searching for some excuse, some twisted logic that might explain his actions.
I had known that he did all that because of his blind for revenge which is meaningless. He could have done a better job that believing the words of a cunny Mafia don as his cousin.
Ivy held my hand as I made to say something again.
She stared hard at him as a single tear role down her eye. She wiped it immediately and bent to his level.
I don't think you will ever have the opportunity to harm me, my children or my husband ever again because I will make sure you're in a place where you can never lift a finger...
I.... I'm sorry.... He began
I cut him off with a slight shake of my head. "You thought you could use Ivy to get to me. Hurt her—use her—as a pawn. But you forgot one thing." I leaned in closer, my voice barely above a whisper. "I don't forgive. Not when it comes to her."
We turned and left him.
Next we entered the cell room of Candice and Andy.
I could feel the fear in their eyes as they sight us.
Please.... Let me go, I would never dare.... Candice cried out.
Of course you will never because you will have nothing to go back to and no one to help you... I calmly replied.
I looked over to the other bastard and I could see the fear in his eyes.
Yes, you need to be scared because you will never be able to crawl again.
I looked at Ivy and I can see the rage and anger in her eyes.
I have never seen her like that. She took a deadly steps to Andy and landed three slaps on his cheeks.
You!!! Touching my kids is where you draw the line. Did you ever thought I could have died?
She looked back and asked. "do you have a gun"?
They both gasped, I was shocked too but I didn't allow it to show.
I smiled and said. "Now why would I allow my sexy, beautiful wife to dirty her hands". I grabbed her by her waist and whispered. "remind me never to anger you any day"
She gave me an eye while maintaining a stoic face.
She went over to the bitch. Gave her four hot slaps. I'm sure her delicate hands will be paining her now.
Bimbo Bitch, what did I ever do to you? Huh? You want to end my life and that of my kids? Because?
Are you that sick in the brain not to Know that a man doesn't want you? Huh? Zaaaap... Another slap.
The bitch can only cry and beg for Mercy. I allowed Ivy to pour out Her anger on them.
She looks sexy when she's angry and every of her words to them drips of Venom as she warns them to be off her back and everything that concerns her or else she would kill them herself and still get away with it after all her husband is "DON MORETTI".
My eyes widened, that was hot and where did my wife go to because this woman standing here looks like a Donas 'a female Don'.
She turned grabbing my tie she asked. Where the fuck is your office in this building?
Upstairs, I replied.
Lead the way. She commanded.
Yes ma'am. I replied and hurriedly took her to my office.
Closing the door behind her, she grabbed my hair and smashed lips on mine. Fuck! My hand landed on her waist and the other on her boob which has gotten bigger since her pregnancy.
We kissed as we're both grabbing each other everywhere but I had to stop her or I hurt her..
Babe, you're not yet healed. I swear I can't wait to start fucking you but I will wait baby... the doctor.....
Shut the fuck up, I want to suck your dick! Jezzz this woman here isn't my wife. Oh Lord, but that was hot as fuck.
She pushed me down on the sofa and undid my Zip. Grabbing my dick, she licked the tip. Sweet Lord.
I closed my eyes in bliss but opened it immediately as she rolled her tongue on it. I groaned and held her hairs in place... She started moving along my length in pure Bliss. She grabbed my balls and I nearly burst out. She played with them while sucking on my dick. After few more strokes I offloaded everything as she sapped them up.
Next time, you're bringing me to this kind of place bring a gun husband. She spoke, fixing her hair that I had scattered.
Where the fuck did my wife go because this woman here has done something to her. I did my zip and stood up.. grabbing her by the waist I whispered.. 'if this is the result I will get for not bringing a gun with me, I will definitely not bring a gun again'
Although I always have my gun with me but she doesn't need to know that.
I let her go and opened the door. Shall we Mrs Asher? We have a date to catch up.
She looked taken aback but she smiled and took my hand in hers.
Away from there, I have prepared to dine with her and spoil her for the day. The rest of the evening was all smiles and laughter as I keep teasing her over what she did in the office.
We got home and thanked our parents who had no issues staying with the kids.
Ivy's parents has moved down here permanently, leaving the plant to Bruce as the sole owner.
Stephen had also expanded his art studio down here and I helped him open an art gallery.
We bid them goodnight as they left.
Over the next days, I took my time deciding Dimitri's fate, weighing every option. I didn't want to make a hasty decision; I wanted something that would send a message. My enemies needed to understand that harming my family meant consequences far beyond imagination.
In the end, I chose a punishment that would strip Dimitri of his power, his pride, and his life as he knew it. Dimitri was exiled to a remote part of Eastern Europe, without his wealth, his connections, or his reputation. My men ensured that Dimitri's fall from power was known by those who had once allied with him. They would remember what happened to a man who crossed Caspian, and they would know that mercy was never an option.
Dimitri was left alone, a broken man stripped of everything he had once valued. And as he wandered through an unfamiliar land, haunted by the decisions that had brought him to this end, he knew he had lost more than just a battle with me—he had lost his very identity.
Andy and Candice aren't having it good either. Candice couldn't get herself any endorsement again. She had to leave the state to somewhere no one knows her.
Andy checked himself into a hospital to get help. I could care less as long as he never neared my family ever. He would be stupid to even think about it.
