Ivy bowed her hair slightly as she got in midst of the family.

"Little Karen insisted i bring him to you" She said staring at Asher. Immediately their eyes met, she dropped her head.

The whole sitting room was silent. Everyone eyes on her and that made her nervous as hell.

"I will take my leave now" She said and crouched down to karen.

"Karen, your papa is here now. I need to go" She kissed his cheek and roughed his hair before standing up. She turned back to leave...

"Stop!" Asher baritone voice sounded. He turned to everyone.

"You all can leave" He said moving his gaze around.

Everyone sighed.

"Let's go" Lyrqa said to lauren. She nooded and they both walked out.

Derick stared at Rex. They both gave each other a suspicious glance and walk away.

Amy grumbled from where she stood, slamming her feet on the floor.

"Let's go!"Grandmother Claire grabbed hand. They all left leaving Asher, Karen and Ivy in the sitting room.

"Papa...." Eden callen staring into space. Asher took slow step to him.

He got to him and crouched down. He placed a kiss on his cheek too.

"Sir... " Ivy called interrupting.

Asher looked up without no expression before standing up fully.

He let his hands lost into his inner pocket as he stares at Ivy pretty face.

"Have you thought of my offer?" He asked and ivy twisted her mouth.

"But.........."

He cut her off.

"No but Ivy, my son loves you and want you to be his mother" he said.

"Why are you making it seems I'm getting married to your son?"She pouted folding her tiny hands under her breast.

"Look here Ivy, my son happiness matters to me alot. He lost his mother at a tender age and now he's seeing you like one then why are you depriving him of that" he asked and she gulped down. She turned to the little boy and sighed. She looked away and thought of her career....her dreams.

"Please Ivy, let's get married. Let's make it official for Karen. He's just too little to grow up without a mother. Please make my son whole again. I'm ready to guve you all you asked for. Your life will be glamorous....trust me Ivy. Accept to marry me and lets parent Karen together" He said and of course, any human can tell at that moment he's acting strong.

"Yes mother" Karen said and that made her heart beat fast. She hasn't even accept and he's calling her mother. Oh God! She whimpered silently and touch her hair.

"I....i will get back to you" She stuttered and without wasting much time, she ran out.

She kept running without looking back. She got to a point and stopped. She lean on the wall and let the tears flow.

She really wanna do it for the little helpless blind boy but what about her dreams?

Her career?

Yes! He promised to give her everything and she'll be able to take care of her sister. Give her that good life. They were so unfortunate to be an orphan and had to suffer but no anymore.

The privilege of taking care of her sister is here but was this really what she want?

"Ivy!!!!"

A loud scream averted her thought. She knew it was her sister Mica.

"Gosh! You don't need to block my ears, i still need them you know"She said.

Hearing the voice calling unto her, she snapped her eyes open.

"F**k, what was I thinking?" Mica questioned herself and ivy furrowed her brows.

"Fuck you Mica. Without those ears, she can't listen to music and dance" She said.

"You don't have to be a drama doll" Ivy said to her sister. She stood up and start walking away.

"I'm sorry, don't take it personal. I don't mean it, swear " She said trailing behind her.

"I'm leaving. It's time for training" Ivy said and Mica heaved.

"Why leaving so soon, is Mr Asher still persuading you" She asked and Ivy nodded.

"You know he wouldn't stop. He's reading to do anything for his son happiness" she added.

"Then accept him Ivy......this is one steps to our dream. Isn't this what you always wanted.." She grabbed Ivy arms.

"We'll never go poor again. You wouldn't have to stress yourself out and getting torture by that crazy Emma....This is your dream" she said but Ivy shook her head and moved away.

"It's not...i just wanna be a dance. A star" She muttered making Mica roll her eyes.

"You're so unbelievable" she uttered.

"If you being persistent. You can marry him rather. You know we both got the same face. Just eyes differ.....Get married to him Mica"She Said.

Mica scoffed out loudly.

"I was here first but his son never liked me. We might have the same face but different characters. You're just so lucky Ivy and beside, we both know you wanna become a dancer because of the wealth and the fame that comes with it. The opportunity is knocking on the door Ivy. Why don't you grab it.

Do you even know what it's mean to be called Asher wife? .. Tell me" she asked.

"Just stop it!" Ivy retorted.

"I'm leaving" she added and walked out.
