Summary:

Ivan and Kyra are lovers, but he is a business rival to her father who is not so okay with her dating him. But, she loves him for who he is and he loves her because he is what he is.

*******

"Five million, going once, going twice, going thrice, sold to Mr. Light" the man slams the hammer announcing the winner for the auction.

Ivan grins winking at the woman standing on the stage shaking her head at him before he gets up from his seat making him way towards her.

Kyra rolls her eyes as his grin widens nearing her but before she could say anything her bends and picks her up from the stage.

"Ivan" Kyra gasps at the man who just grins as they walk down the stage.

Ivan nods as he gets few congrats before he puts Kyra down next to his table and she fixes her dress.

"See you later" she smiles turning to walk away but he pulls her to the seat.

"Where do you think you are going?" he whispers to her and she sighs.

"I came with my family and I am sitting with them, we will meet once the auction is done"

"Well the auction is done for me, so shall we go?" he asks and she sighs.

"Ivan, behave, we are here for a good purpose and I better see you donate more" she warns and he raises a brow.

"Want me to buy few more girls, we can enjoy a big date. Go skinny dipping and..."

"Stop, you are not buying anyone"

"I just bought you" he states making her sigh as she gets up and he groans as he wraps his arm around her waist.

"It was for a good cause, now behave and enjoy the remaining night, dad's watching"

"I have felt his dagger filled eyes the moment I walked in"

"Because you said you were not interested and dad thought you won't be here"

"That's until I knew my woman was up on the auction, no one gets to date her beside me"

"Okay, now please, let me go" she cups his face making him sigh before he nods his head.

"But first give me a kiss" he asks and she pushes his hand away.

"Ivan" she hisses before she eyes the others at the table staring at them.

"Okay, okay" he groans before he gets up from his seat and walks with her.

"Where are you going?" she asks as he makes his way towards her father's table.

"Well, it would be kind of disrespectful of me if I did not go say hello to your old man, after all I am his future son-in-law"

"No funny business, Ivan" she warns just as they reach their father's table.

*******

"See you in a while" Ivan smiles at Kyra as he puts his jacket around her before he nods to her father and walks away.

"You lied" her father glares at her and Kyra sighs.

"I did not knew he was coming dad"

"Well, now everyone knows who is his flavor of the month" he comments and she closes her eyes to calm herself.

"I will be sure to let him know what exactly as a father you think of your own daughter" she states and her father takes deep calming breath.

"Why can you not just find a good man like you sister did, I get it he is rich and all but there are more good men out better for you" he states and Kyra moves her chair close to put her head on his shoulder.

"Just give Ivan a chance dad, he is the best among all"

"Well not the way he has been a pest to our company" he mutters.

"You know I won't speak on that matter to any one of you, it's business and you both will have to come to terms about it" she states as she kisses on his cheek before she gives him a sweet smile.

*******

"Can I get my coat back?" Ivan asks as he comes to stand beside Kyra who glances at him before she pulls it off her.

"Now can I get my girl back?" he teases making her groan.

"Ivan, we are not doing this"

"Doing what"

"You need to go, dad has gone to bring the car and if he sees you one more time I know he will lose it"

"He always does" he deadpans and she gives him an eye.

"Well, we are supposed to be going on a date or something"

"It's late and I am going home with dad, you are going to go your home"

"My sheets feels cold without you in it" he states and Kyra covers his mouth hushing him.

"You are doing this in purpose" she glares at him and he grins pushing her hand away as he pulls her towards the pillar away from others eyes.

"I have been wondering" he smiles as he twirl a strand of her hair in his finger.

"What?" she asks before he stares in her eyes.

"How this shade of lipstick will look on me?" he smiles as he touches her lower lip.

"Oh, well I will be sure to send you some so you can try"

"Okay, but first let me check if I will want to buy it" he whispers as he kisses on her lips and Kyra smiles at their kiss.

"Okay bye" Kyra whispers as she pushes him lightly.

"Your lipstick is intact" he frowns making her laugh.

"It's matte, so men like you could not ruin it" she winks making him growl.

"Men, men?" he asks before kissing her back again.

*******

"This is absurd" Kyra closes her eyes as her father throws the file on the ground with anger.

"But we..."

"No, no buts I want results. We have been the only company in this whole goddamn city for two decades for getting every contract from Williams and now you are telling me we have failed to gain one?" he shouts and all the members in the room stay silent.

"None of you can do one work properly, guess I will have to talk to Williams myself"

"But..."

"I said no buts, now everyone of you get out" he orders and the people scrambles to walk out of the room while Kyra stays she gathers the file and gets up before walking towards her father.

"If this goes on we will have no contracts in our hands and we will have to cut people out, people who relies on us" her father sighs and Kyra pushes him to a seat.

"I am sure we will get new ones, I will look in to it" she tries to assure him.

"Only for your boy to come and whisk it away from our hands?" he states making her squeeze his hand as she smiles.

"Dad, it's not his fault if we are losing our business but thinking like that you are just losing your cool. Our company has been in this line of work for decades and we have gone through so much together and every time we stayed on top not because we won every tender but because we put our best, we give best, we have been...

Let me talk with the Williams, I know we cannot do anything about the tender but I am sure they are as devastated as you are for losing such a good business partner" she assures and her father sighs.

"It's just, I..."

"Now, why don't you go and I will ask your secretary to bring you a nice hot coffee" she smiles and her father nods his head as he drops a kiss on her forehead.

"I love you" he smiles and she holds onto his hand.

"I love you too, dad" she smiles before watching him walk away.

*******

"A chicken sandwich and cranberry juice please" Kyra orders and the waiter walks away, staring out of the window she is in her own thoughts so when Ivan walks and kiss on her cheek she jumps startled.

"Baby" he smiles putting his phone on the table.

"What are you doing here?" she asks with a smile.

"Well, I got a message from the bank about the one million I spent on a date being taken out but when I looked around I could not see my date at all...

So, what I did was picked up my phone and called her only for her to ignore me and not receive my calls" he states and she laughs before she pulls out her phone and checks it to find his missed calls.

"Sorry, I must have forgotten it was on silent mode, we had a meeting this morning and" she shakes her head as she turns her phone back on.

"I heard you contacted the Williams" he passes a comment and Kyra tilts her head to stare at him.

"Well I won that contract fairly so" he shrugs his shoulder as he stares at him.

"I did not call Williams to sway him away from the contract you got, but I am also not sharing my business deals with you as we have talked before that whatever we do our business will never be a topic when it comes to us" she reminds him.

"I was there when you called him and let me tell you he was impressed with you so much I got scared that maybe he will re-think on about giving me a contract" he points but she keeps quiet as her food arrives.

"Were you?" she asks as she cuts the sandwich into half and push towards him.

"What?" he frowns watching her sip her drink.

"Impressed by me?" she asks and he grins.

"I respect you Kyra, you always blow my mind when you think out of the box. Not once did you mentioned about the contract your company lost instead you came up with new plan, it may be small but I know he is thinking about that project he will invest on" he smiles and she nods her head before silently eating her lunch.

"You do know I love you the second most because my mom will always be my first love" he confesses and she nods her head but does not look his way.

"You don't love me?" he gasps as he moves forward and stares at her making her laugh.

"No" she shakes her head and he clutches his heart dramatically.

"You are savage" he breathes before he grabs the sandwich she passed to him.

*******

"See you later" Kyra smiles as they walk out of the restaurant.

"Don't stay mad" he calls and she turns before she cups his face and kisses on his lips.

"I love you more, now stop the pout" she states as she caresses his face.

"I will forever pout, if you kiss me like that every time" he states wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Lunch is over Mr. Light" she reminds him.

"Then let me drop you to you work place" he asks as he pulls her towards his car.

"But my car" she laughs as he does not let her go, he calls for his driver handing him her car keys before he opens the door for her.

*******

"Movie night" Kyra suggests as she kisses on his cheek before she walks out of the car and takes her car keys from his driver before she waves at him walking towards her office.

"Lunch date?" Callum, her brother-in-law asks as she enters the office.

"Hello Callum" Kyra greets making her way towards the elevator and he follows.

"So, I heard you got a hand on one of William's projects"

"Nothing is final"

"But I am sure it's happening"

"If it does you will know it"

"You know, what are the chances that Ivan is acing all these tenders from right under of our nose because someone is telling him the prices we are filling in?" Callum asks and Kyra pauses before she eyes him.

"I will be sure to ask him when I see him tonight" she states stepping out of the elevator.

"You know we have a handful of projects in our hands after you two started dating" he comments but she just ignores walking away.

"Bitch" he mutters under his breath.

*******

"Oh no, no" Ivan shakes his head as she pulls out a movie and she groans.

"Fine, then we choose from the bowl" she asks as he has said no to five of the movies she chose, so she pulls out the bowl which was filled with chits that was different options in it.

"Ooh, now you are talking baby" Ivan rubs his hands together and she pulls the bowl away.

"It's my turn" she states and he frowns.

"No, because we watched Frozen last time and I know between you and me I will never chose it" he points making her laugh.

"But the thing is you did, saying you like that expression of Elsa when she sings the cold never bothered me anyways" she points and he frowns before slowly nodding his head.

"True" he grins before he shakes the bowl and puts it in front of her to pull out a chit.

"Please be porn, please be porn, please be porn" he chants as she pulls out one making her laugh as she pushes him away before she reads what was on the paper.

"Action" she reads and he groans.

Kyra grins as she pulls out a movie out and plays the DVD and Ivan pushes the cushion away from the couch before laying in it.

"Stop" Kyra groans pushing his hand away as he keeps squeezing her shoulder before she puts the popcorn bowl between them and tries to get away from his hands but he holds her down.

Sliding down from the couch be pulls her between his legs and holds her close to him.

"This is stupid" Kyra says in between the movie as they watch the actions sequence.

"That's cool" he comments and she turns to look at his face.

"I never understand the logic like his every shot is bullseyes but the enemies has these awesome guns firing at once and not even one touches him...

Oh and look at that, it's impossible" she throws her hands up.

"See, this is why I said porn, we don't need to use out brain and find logic in it" he teases and she hits on his arms.

"Sex is all that you can think about"

"Wrong, having sex with you is all I think" he corrects making her laugh.

"Remember the first time we did this?" she asks.

"Yep, universe was telling us to have sex, I mean like the porn chit just popped right at both of our hands" he replies.

"And I think every chit in that bowl that day had porn written in it" she points making him gasps.

"How did you find out about it?"

"Ivan" she laughs and he nuzzles her neck before kissing on it.

"I really wanted to have sex with you from the moment I saw you, I mean like goddamn that dress you wore that night...oh still gives me a boner" he confesses and she shake her head.

"Well, you looked dashing in that tux that night"

"Just dashing"

"Maybe I did wanted to ruin your bowtie that night"

"I can wear it now so you can fulfill your imagination" he whispers and she puts her head on his shoulder as she puts her hand on his cheek pulling him close to her.

"I am good, I already have ruined several of your shirts and ties so" she smiles kissing him on his lips.

"Umm-hmm" he nods turning her around as he deepens the kiss.

********

Ivan breathes heavily as he moves away from Kyra, he pulls the cover over them as he stares at the ceiling with a smile.

"You have come to be the only thing I desire these days" he confesses and Kyra turns to her side before she puts her head on her palm and stares at him.

"Careful there Mr. Light you should not give yourself away so easily" she teases as she moves to drop a kiss at the side of his head.

"What do you desire the most?" he asks as he too turns and caresses her cheek.

"Are you asking as in sexual or?"

"Overall, what is that one thing you desire the most except me of course" he adds making her laugh.

"Hmm, I don't know about any desires but what I want the most right now is to share a meal with you and dad, a peaceful, happy meal without me not playing are referee between you two or both of you just being the two best men in my life I love the most" she admits and he moves to kiss on her forehead.

"Is that what my girl wants the most?" he asks as he pulls her in his arms.

"Which I know won't happen, because you both hate each other"

"Hey now, I don't, okay, I don't hate your dad, I mean, yeah he irks me sometimes and we see things differently and..."

"I know" Kyra tries to control her laughter.

"He thinks I am not good enough for you, but that asshole of your brother-in-law is better, I mean have you seen that guy..."

"Uh-uh, no bad talks on my family"

"Maybe your father just wants a man for his daughter who will stay under his thumb and baby, I am Light, we don't stay under thumb and we shine, through it"

"But making efforts won't kill you" she points making him frown.

"That's an accusation I refuse to take on because I have tried many times. And what does he does, disrespect me every fucking time"

"Dad never..."

"No, you cannot see it because you are his daughter, no girl can hear the shitty truth about their father and that's a fact"

"Well, I am sure if this was other way around you would defend your family too" she points and he scoffs.

"Well I may not have a father but I know the basic etiquette that if a girl introduces a guy to her family, she wants her family to like him or give him a chance because she wants a chance with him...

When I introduced you to my mom, not one second went by that she made you feel uncomfortable or want to walk out because she knows you matter to me, you are important to me...

But your father just down right thinks I am just a no one. I reached this place with my hard work and smart moves but I just think your father just needs to grow up and admit the fact that, there are people like me out that are smart and will out win him, who does not have lick his shoes or earn his attention with flattery" he rants as he moves the cover away and gets out of the bed in anger.

Pulling his trousers he takes deep breathes to calm himself down.

"Say something goddamn" he snaps as he stares at her.

"I better not"

"Great, that's the problem you never say anything. I need a break" he sighs as he pinches his forehead as he walks out of the room and Kyra closes her eyes to calm herself before she slowly steps out of the bed.

********

"Did he finally break your heart?" Callum comments just as Kyra walks in the house.

"God, don't you sleep?" she asks.

"Now when your sister-in-law is slutting out with the boss of a rival company"

"Do you want me to get down on my knees and ask for forgiveness for disturbing your sleep?"

"I am sure Ivan already let you be on your knees all night long, I will pass" he grins and she just grits her teeth before she goes to walk away.

"You know, it will help us out a lot if you do ask him to stop filling the same tenders that we do for the projects. Or you know, you could just look into his files and let us know the amount he has filled in?" he suggests and Kyra stares at him in disbelieve.

"Well while you are making these demands shall I ask him to pay you salary as well after all you are making so much efforts for both of our companies?" she asks with a big smile and he narrows his eyes at her.

"The least you can do is help out at times like these, instead of coming home getting fucked by him" Callum comments.

"That's enough" both of them turns to face her father and Callum clears his throat.

"I..." he starts but her father raises his hand to stop him.

"It's late and I think we all need a good sleep" he states and Callum glances at Kyra before he walks away.

*******

Kyra follows her father to his study room and she closes the door softly before, turning to face him. She stands on the doorway while he goes and sits on the couch as they both stare at each other.

"Did he hurt you?" he asks and Kyra shakes her head no.

"Callum was..."

"Not him, your guy, did he hurt you?" he asks and Kyra stares at her feet.

"We are good" she whispers.

"I did not ask that" he sighs as he pats on the empty place beside him for her and Kyra slowly walks towards him before wrapping her arms around him.

"I don't want to talk about it" she sighs as she puts her head on his chest and just stares at the wall.

"Well when your daughters grow up they stop talking about important matters with their father and that is why we fathers are blamed at times not understanding any of your feelings...

How can we?" he teases making her smile as she stares at his face.

"I love him dad, I really do. And I want both of you to have a good relation, forget about the business or any competition between the company...

I just want you to be my dad and him to be my boyfriend, when we meet and talk it out through. But at times, you both are so stubborn" she points making him take a deep breath.

"Years, it took years long of hard work not just from me but you grandparents and their grandparents to build this business, to make out company not just a company but a brand in this world and then this guy walk in...

Smart, confident, but its fine, he is not our first competitor we have seen better than him, faced worst situations but what others never did and what's different about this guy?

Is that, he is here not just to be a pain in the ass in my business but he is here to take away my daughter from right under my nose"

"Oh come on, dad" Kyra laughs at that.

"True, well, Callum was a guy I knew, I knew he would be good for your sister but Ivan, he meets me for the first time and the first thing he says to me is that it was an honor to meet the father of the girl he cannot wait to take on a date" he confesses and Kyra gets up staring at her father in disbelief.

"No" she gasps covering her mouth stunned.

"He rubbed me off, too cocky and too confident. But I had faith in my daughter to not get involved with man like him but months later she walks in the room with him on her side"

"Dad" she whispers putting her hand on his chest.

"I know, I know" he waves his hands around and she smiles before she pinches his cheeks.

"Ivan, sometimes is too honest I think and it rubs people off I know but he means no harm and you have to admit he is good at this, whatever he does, he is good" she states and her father nods his head.

"Call him for dinner sometime" he asks and she stares at him speechless.

"Dad" she cannot believe what she is hearing.

"But don't get ideas, I just want to see you happy and what you did today with the whole William fiasco, think of it as a treat" he smiles and she cannot help the squeal that comes out of her mouth as she hugs him.

"Oh dad, I love you" she laughs freely.

"Okay, okay. I love you too, now go get out of here before I change my mind" he teases and she hugs him tightly before dropping a kiss on his cheek as she walks out of the door.

*******

Kyra drops her purse on the table after she pulls her phone out, checking the phone she finds missed calls and messages from Ivan. Instead of replying or calling him she walks to her closet and pulls her clothes out, setting it on the bed she makes her way towards the bathroom.

Walking out of the bathroom she shuts the light and makes her way towards the bed to grab her clothes only to jump startled.

"Washed me off" Ivan voice makes her whirl at once to find him sitting on the table and going through her messages.

"Ivan" she sighs as she grabs her clothes.

"You saw my messages and my missed calls yet you did not reply or called back, why?" he questions and she ignores him as she changes into her clothes.

"How did you get in?" she asks wondering if the guards has already informed her father.

"If you are angry, you shout, you fight it through me not just up and walk away just after I fucked you" he glares her way and she folds her arms.

"Well, I thought that was what I was there for, you fucked me and my duty was done" she states and he rubs his face before he gets up to walk her way.

"Fucked, making love, doing it, whatever name you give at the end it's the same thing I was inside you and that is what it is"

"You need to go" she whispers as he stands in front of her.

"Don't ever walk away from me like this, scared the crap out of me" he confesses as he puts his arms around her.

"You needed a break, I was giving you that" she points and he curses as he pulls her closer.

"I needed a break because we were fighting not from you, and we fought right after..."

"You fucked me" she finishes.

"I am sorry, baby. You know how I get when I get angry, it is more than sex with you"

"And I have to take the burn of it every time, because you can over react, be angry but I cannot, right?" she asks.

"I don't like the idea or anyone thinking I am not fit for you, that I don't deserve you which I know is true. You have the power to walk right away from my life and I know if you want you will never see me again...

And every day I have this fear that any moment I will fuck this up and every time I see your father he lets me remind that, you are too good to be true for me and it scares me" he sighs as he pulls away before he touches her neck and pulls out the chain from around her neck.

"You don't even wear the ring I purposed to you with, just let it be hanging in there. I am insecure when it comes to you, I will always be" he whispers as he stares at the ring.

"You don't have to, you know even if you fuck this up, I won't let you fuck us up. If I had shouted and fought back you would not be standing here...

If I had not walked out tonight, you would be walking in the room and we would be waking up still angry, but not seeing me your anger turned into worry. I did not walked out to make you worry, I came back here because I felt guilty...

Maybe you are right, I never say anything when it comes to us and I am so sorry I hurt you that way" she confesses as she stares at the button of his shirt and he grabs her chin to stare in his eyes.

"Hey, I said that in heat of the moment. I know, you have your own way to fight back with your father and be with me"

"Still. And, this ring, it's not that I am not wearing because of my father or I don't want to. But when I wear this ring I want to be able to put one back in your finger" she states and he cups her face as he kisses on her lips.

"Never again, we will discuss on whether your father likes me or not. Your love is enough, fuck the world" he grins making her giggle.

"Well, too bad then dad asked to call you for dinner" she whispers and he frowns.

"But I sneaked in" he states and she laughs.

"Not just now baby, but he does likes you" she informs and he nods his head with a smirk.

"I see, father-in-law is pretending too hard to impress"

"And I cannot believe you said what you did when you met dad, first" she states as she hits on his stomach and he groans.

"Well, of course I wanted to say something else" he grins picking her up.

"What?" she asks as he lays her on the bed and covers her body.

"That, it was an honor to finally meet the man my children will call grandfather" he grins and she gasps but his lips covers it.

*******

"We good?" Ivan whispers as he cups Kyra's face who nods her head as she kisses on his lips before asking him to go.

"I don't want to" he pouts and she smiles before pinching his nose.

"But you have to, before someone wakes up, I have never sneaked a boy in my room. And that is one conversation I am not ready to have with dad...

No, please" she whispers as she pushes him towards the door.

"Ugh, I want to marry you so I don't have to sneak in and out" he whines before he picks her up and Kyra squeals before she covers her mouth and glares at him.

"Let's wait until everyone is out of the house" he suggests and she shakes her head no.

"Baby, no" she disagrees before he sighs giving in.

"Fine, meet me for lunch" he asks and she grabs his jaw before moving to a side as she drops a kiss on his cheek.

"I love you" she whispers and he pulls her in his arms hugging her tightly, letting her go he walks out of the house.

"Bye. I love you" he shouts and she sighs waving her hands asking him to leave already.

Kyra stands on the door watching him saluting the guard who glances from him to the house before he throws a flying kiss and gets out of the door.

Closing the door, Kyra cannot help but smile before she jumps seeing her little sister standing in front of her.

"I did not see a thing" she grins before she slowly turns away and Kyra narrows her eyes.

"Kitty" she calls her sister who turns and grins.

"Dad" she yells and Kyra gasps as she rush to grab her sister who laughs before she runs away and Kyra tries to stop her.

"Kitty, no, kitty" she keeps calling but her sister laughs as she runs to her father room only to find it empty.

"Dad" Kitty calls looking around.

"Don't listen to her" Kyra yells and stop at once as she walks in the room.

"Dad" Kitty keeps calling before she turns to her sister.

"Where did her go?" she asks and Kyra stares at his untouched bed before she turns and rush to the study room.

"Kyra, what is it?" Kitty asks running behind her sister before both of them stand on the doorway.

"Why did you run..." Kitty stops as she stares at her father laying on the couch,

"Dad" Kitty calls walking in before she touches his arm to shakes him, but he does not wakes up.

"Dad" Kitty screams in panic while Kyra stares at her father in shock.

*******

Ivan signs the papers before he hands it back to his assistant, he nods letting the man go before turning around in his chair, he smiles pulling his phone out.

He dials Kyra's number but it goes to a voicemail, frowning he tries once again only to find it once again directed to voice mail, so he decides to leave one.

"Baby girl, you are not keeping up with your promises these days. A date that is still pending and now a lunch we are supposed to have together but look at us...

Call me soon. Love you" he puts his phone down before getting back to his work.

*******

"Babe, what's going on? Where are you? I have been trying for hours and you are not picking up or returning my calls or any messages...

Call me"

*******

"Seriously Kyra, what the fuck? Are you still angry at me or something? I thought we...just call me or at least receive the call, will you?

Scaring the fuck out of me baby"

*******

"You know what, that's it! I am coming to your house to see you and I don't give a fuck if your dad won't like it. Just tell him I am taking his offer of dinner...

And you better have a good reason for not answering my calls, babe"

*******

Stopping the car, he walks out before the guard stops him from getting in and he glares at the man.

"Open the door" he asks but the man refuses.

"You are not allowed to go in" he informs and Ivan frowns.

"Go call Kyra, inform her I am here" he orders and the man glances at the house.

"But..."

"I have other measures to get in that house, you know" he points and the guard nods before he walks to the house.

But instead of Kyra, Callum walks out to see him.

"Ivan, what a surprise? What are you doing here?" Callum asks and Ivan glares at him.

"I asked for Kyra" he points and Callum asks the guard to leave before he walks towards Ivan.

Putting his arms around Ivan's shoulder he tries to walk him away but Ivan does not move making Callum sighs as he pats on Ivan's shoulder.

"Well, you see Kyra sent me here. She asked you to leave" he informs and Ivan frowns.

"And you think I will believe your words"

"Well that is why I am here, personally. She asked the guard to send you away but I just thought after three years of togetherness the least you deserve is if someone from her family tell you instead of the guard...

Kyra does not want to see you and I understand this is between you and her, but she is breaking up with you"

"And I will break your fucking jaw, not move your hands" he warns and Callum smiles as he raises his hands up in surrender before stepping away.

"Fine, if you don't believe me, call her, ask her out then" he dares and Ivan grits his teeth.

"What? Is she not receiving her calls?" Callum gasps making Ivan pull his phone for it to go to voicemail.

"Aww, I wonder what happened? I mean you two did had a passion filled night just yesterday or was it a good bye fuck?" he grins before pulling his phone out.

"Let me try and see if she will come out to do this herself" he states before dialing her number.

"Kyra, baby girl, why are you not receiving any of his calls? Don't be so heartless, now come out and tell him exactly what you said to the guard...

Ivan is not..." Ivan pulls the phone out of his hand.

"Kyra" he asks through the phone turning away from Callum who chuckles.

"What the fuck is going on?" he demands to her.

"Leave" Kyra's words whispers through the phone.

"Babe, is there some problem?" he asks as he glances at Callum.

"The actual reason why I never wore that ring you gave me is because I never wanted to marry you and I was just dating you because of our business...

But, I cannot pretend anymore. I cannot do this"

"Baby, don't" he warns.

"I am sorry, but please don't call me or try to meet me. I am just done playing this game"

"You are lying"

"I have always been lying to you, I have sent the ring with Callum just take it and leave. I have tried so many times to see if I can crack the reason why you have been getting all of the contracts but you are too smart...

I never got my hands on those files no matter how much I tried but I think I am done trying and..."

"You want to break up with me, fucking do it standing right in front of me so I can see your face. And whatever bullshit you are spewing I will find out the reason about it...

And when I do prove you are lying, baby" he stops as he rubs his face in annoyance.

"I love you and that is the only truth between us" with that he shuts the phone before he closes his eyes stares at the sky and takes a deep breath.

Turning around he throws the phone towards Callum, he tilts his head as he pulls out the ring from his pocket.

"Keep it asshole, you have dirtied it by touching, will have to get her a next one" Ivan states as he turns to leave.

"You two are over" Callum shouts but Ivan ignores him as he gets in the car and drives away.

*******

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck" Ivan shouts as he hits on his steering wheel in anger.

After throwing a fit he feels a little better, starting the car again he makes his way towards his house. Making his way to the kitchen he pulls out the bottle of water and stand in front of the fridge staring at nothing. The ring on his phone pulls him out of the haze and he answers it.

"Ivan, it's me...kitty" Kitty's voice makes him clutch on the bottle tightly.

"Kitty, what's..."

"Dad" her cries fills his ears and he closes his eyes before he asks her what's going on.

"Dad got a heart attack and Callum took him to the hospital, we don't even know which or if he is okay. He is not letting anyone of us to see him...

And, and he...he is blaming Kyra for everything" sitting on the chair Ivan rubs his face as he silently hears her out.

"I tried, I tried to talk with Callum but he is so angry, I don't know what's going on. They just had a big fight and Kyra is in her room. She is not even seeing me...

I don't know what to do, they said you came but"

"Kitty, don't do anything" Ivan states.

"But..."

"You just make sure Kyra is doing well okay and I will see what I can do, so stop crying" he whispers and the girl nods her head before she speaks.

"Okay, but Ivan. Don't, don't hurt Callum, I love him. He is just, he has changed but he..."

"Stop crying and go check on your sister, I will look after everything okay. Now relax and thanks for calling me"

"Okay, just know she really loves you" Kitty reminds him.

"I know" he whispers before they say goodbye.

*******

Ivan nods his head as he hears the report from his security team, he passes the file back to his assistant as he thinks on things through.

"She has not showed up for work and no one has seen her walk out of the house as well"

"Okay, you guys can leave"

"What about Callum? Don't you think we should put someone behind him to keep an eye?"

"No. He expects me to keep an eye on him and he will not be any helpful. You just keep checking on the hospitals, see if you can find out which hospital her dad is in" he orders as the head of the security walks out.

"She declined the date" his assistant replies.

"She said she will pay the money herself if you refused to donate" he adds and Ivan nods his head before his assistant leaves.

Thinking what he can do Ivan closes his eyes and taps his finger on his jaw before he comes up with an idea.

*******

"What the hell are you doing here?" Callum frowns as Ivan walks in his office.

"Please stay seated" Ivan asks to Callum as he pulls a chair himself and takes a seat.

"What is the meaning of this?" Callum asks eyeing Ivan.

"What do you want?" Ivan asks directly and Callum frowns.

"What do I want?"

"I mean, there must be something you want because of which you are doing this"

"There is something I want and that is for you to leave" Callum asks before Ivan sighs.

"I will grant that wish of yours after I am done here" Ivan states staring at Callum.

"Kyra already..."

"Don't even say her name from your mouth, you bastard. Things between her and I, we will sort it out ourselves...

If that one man she loves the most could not stop her from loving me why the fuck do you feel you can?" he questions and Callum gets up from his seat.

"Then go sort it out with her, why are you here wasting my time?" he questions.

"Because, I want to know why? She loves me and I love her, even her dad is hinting to keep our differences aside and see a new light between me and her...

Then why are you flapping your mouth?"

"I have no idea..."

"I am not beating the shit out of you Callum, because I don't want to see Kitty cry after she finds out you injured but that does not mean I will not do so...

Because right now, for me Kyra is the only priority. So fucking speak and lets be done with this" Ivan warns making Callum glare him before he takes his seat and intertwines his fingers.

"I did not reach this position because I married Kitty, I worked hard to prove I am good at my job. Unlike you, I was not born with a silver spoon and I know people talk behind my back that I fished Kitty for her property but I did not...

I love her, but I cannot stand the fact how Kyra is the jewel of her father's eyes. Everything she does he approves. And I know, he is naming everything in her name, but what about me and kitty?

I have given everything for this company, refused offers to see this one shine and my wife, she deserves some recognition as well as his daughter...

I cannot let Kyra have all of this all alone while she is the reason we are not getting any contracts lately, or ever since she started dating you. I know she is sharing our business secrets, we are hardly getting any business...

And I cannot let that happen, I cannot let all of this fade away. So, I had to put a stop"

"What did you do?" Ivan asks as he clenches his fist.

"I did not do anything, they were talking about giving you a chance and I was listening. After she went to her room I went to talk with her father...

He has been talking about his will and I knew he was planning to give this company to Kyra. I told him that you have been using Kyra to gain hands in business and if he named everything to Kyra you will take control of it...

We had some arguments, but I did not knew, I really did not. Not until, I heard Kitty's scream in the morning that he had, he had a heart attack...

H is in ICU, there are not sure if he can pull it through but they have been trying"

"Why are the girls not getting to see their father?"

"When we were calling for the car, Kyra was not moving she was just standing in the door shocked and then I thought if I can turn this situation in my favor...

I accused that her father was in that condition because of her and that he still does not like you, but does not have a say because he loves Kyra"

"That's it? And she just gave up on us?" he raises a brow and Callum gulps.

"Well, I...we had an argument on that matter and I...I threatened if she did not break things up with you I will not let her father get any medical treatment" Callum confesses and Ivan slams his hands on the table in anger.

"I swear" Ivan growls as he glares at Callum who gulps.

"Listen, I did not mean it, I just..."

"Shut the fuck up and you are taking those girls to meet their father" Ivan snaps before he walks out of the door.

Dialing Kitty's number he asks her about Kyra before letting her know he was coming there.

*******

"She is upstairs, she did not even let me in the room" Kitty states as soon as Ivan walks in and she makes her way towards Callum who hesitates a bit.

Taking the steps two at a time, Ivan makes his way to Kyra's room, he knocks on the door but he gets no reply. Walking back to where Kitty was he asks if there was any other way to get in her room.

"Ooh, window, climb the widow, that would be so romantic" she grins making him sigh.

"Kitty" he groans before he does so.

Ivan gets in through the window to Kyra's room to find her laying on the bed, he takes a deep breath before a smile occurs in his face.

Making his way towards the bed he gets in and lies behind her, wrapping his arms around her he drops a kiss on the back of her head.

"Hey baby" his words makes her turn in his arms at once before she starts to sobs.

"Hey, it's okay"

"Dad" she hiccups making him sigh as runs his palm on her back.

"Come on, we will go see him" he whispers but she stiffens in his arms before shaking her head no.

"Baby" he calls pushing her away from him before he turns to light the room.

"What the..." Ivan growls as he stares at her face before his eyes lands on her neck.

"Son of..." Ivan shakes in anger as he tries to get up from the bed but Kyra wraps her arms around him.

"No, no, please, Ivan no" Kyra shakes her head crying and Ivan pulls himself away from her before he cups her face.

"He fucking touched you"

"No, please calm down..."

"Calm down, calm down, no I fucking can't, what did he do?" Ivan asks as he touches her cheek before the torn lip, he gulps as he stares at the mark on her neck.

"Ivan..." she calls but he shakes his head before he storms out of the room and Kyra runs behind him.

"Ivan, Ivan" she calls but he does not stop before he makes his way to Callum and grabs the man by his collar punching him.

"Callum" Kitty gasps as she tries to pull her husband away from Ivan but he just keeps hitting Callum.

"You fucking touched her, you fucking..."

"Ivan" Kyra cries pulling his hand.

"Kyra" Kitty gasps as she stares at her sister's face before she eyes Callum.

"It was an accident" Callum coughs as he steps back.

"Accident..."

"Stop" Kyra breathes as she comes to stand between them and stares at Ivan before she wraps her arms around him.

"Kyra" Kitty cries and Kyra sighs before she stares at her sister.

"It's okay, I am fine. Take Callum away" she asks to Kitty who shakes her head no.

"Kitty" Kyra states and her sister glares at her husband.

"I cannot believe you beat my sister" she accuses before she pinches his nose making him scream.

"It was an accident"

"I will show you how accident happens" Kitty growls as she pulls him by his ear.

*******

"Did he do anything else?" Ivan asks as he keeps his hand on her neck, rubbing her mark.

"He was angry and when I disagreed he just raised his hand on me"

"These marks"

"I refused to give him the ring and he pulled it by force"

"I will fucking kill him" he vows but she squeezes his hand.

"Dad, is he okay?" she asks and he sighs pulling her face close to him.

"We will provide him the best care, baby you just don't worry, he will be fine. He owes me a dinner just as you" he tries to jokes but she starts to cry.

"Oh baby"

"I got so scared, he...he was not moving and, I could not do anything. I did not know what to do. I should have done something...

I should not have left him alone last night. It's all my fault, I should not have given him so much stress"

"Hey, no, no, it's not your fault. It was not baby, now let's go and see him"

"No, I cannot. Not like this" she touches her cheek and he closes his eyes to control his anger.

"Well, let him see you like this, he should know what kind of asshole Callum is. He fucking raised his hand on you, what if he does the same to Kitty?" Ivan states and Kyra's eyes widens.

"No, no. I won't, I swear I will never hurt Kitty" Callum protests before he apologizes to Kyra.

"Well you hurt me hurting my family and if it was not for Ivan we would not be able to see our dad.

"Once your father is all well, I will leave, I will leave this house"

"Well good decision, it's high time we move out of my father's house"

"We?" Callum frowns.

"Of course, you hurt my family so as your punishment you will have to stay with me for the rest of your life so I can remind you daily what a mess you made" Kitty decides before she walks to her sister.

"Come on, I know how to hide your wounds. You all maybe great in business today I will show how awesome I am with makeup" Kitty smiles as she pulls her sister away from the men.

"I am sorry, man. I was out of my mind" Callum apologizes but Ivan shakes his head.

"I will neither forgive nor forget this, Callum"

*******

"Baby" Ivan whispers as he shakes Kyra who was asleep on the sofa, she groans opening her eyes but he picks her up before cuddling her on it.

"Why are you here?" she asks as she eyes her father asleep on the bed.

"Just finished the work" he sighs as he pulls her closer.

"Did you eat?" she asks as she turns to face him.

"Yeah, how are you feeling?" he whispers touching her face and she holds his hand tucking it between them.

"Dad can be discharged in few days" she informs making him raise his head to glance at the man.

"That's good, because I am having back problems sleeping in here"

"I told you I am fine, you can go home and sleep"

"How can I, when my baby is here all alone?"

"I am not alone"

"No way, last time I left I did not get to see you for two days and when I did, it was not a great view. And I don't ever want to be away from you" he admits making her smile as she kisses the back of his hand.

"I am sorry, I know I scared you"

"I could not even breathe with the thought of not seeing you" he whispers.

"Baby" caressing his cheek Kyra moves close to him.

"And how could you even think I would believe those shit you said. Remember the first night we spent together at my home...

And I had showed you the rooms around, I had everything out open for you to sneak but not once did you tried to...

Then remember that time I asked you to receive some documents from my home and bring it to me at my office, well you did not even opened and see it"

"How did you know I did not?" she frowns wondering what he is trying to say.

"Because, if you did I would not have gotten the contract of Harish construction, because that file hold all the data and details of the tender we were going to put out and we won" he smiles making her frown.

"Oh wow, so all this time when I thought you trusted me I had already been tested" she accuses and he grins pinching her cheeks.

"Had to baby"

"I cannot believe this" she sighs trying to turn but he chuckles holding onto her.

"Hey, hey, come on now, even if you did saw and changed your numbers I would not have mind"

"Of course" she rolls her eyes.

"Maybe next time you should check every file he gives" her father's voice makes them cringe.

"Dad"

"Hush, romance my daughter out of this room and let this man rest" he groans and both of them get up.

"Take her home, Light. I don't want to see her here until it's time she signs the discharged papers" he orders.

"Dad" Kyra smiles but the man pretends to sleep so she kisses on his forehead and whispers goodnight before she does just as he father asks her to.

*******

"Mom is coming in town next week" Ivan informs making her glance his way.

Gurgling her mouth, she washes her mouth before turning to face him.

"That's great, well, if you don't mind can we all have dinner together?" she asks and he grins.

"Of course, mom wants to meet your father"

"Does she?"

"Uh-huh, something about her son being old enough to give her grandkids so she has to take matters in her hands and ask your father if he will give me your hand" he states and she laughs wiping her face.

"Well it's good to be a momma's boy, I guess" she laughs walking out before she turns to find him on his knees with a ring.

"Oh my" she gasps.

"Remember the last time, I gave you a ring and you wore it around your neck and got hurt? Well this time, would you mind wearing this ring on your ring finger not because I want to scream to the world that you are my baby girl...?

But just so, you don't have any ore scratches around your neck, safety measures and all. So will you?" he asks making her smile as she goes and sits on his bended knee wrapping her arm around him as he puts the ring on her finger.

"I will, safety measures and all" she smiles kissing him.

"I love you" he grins before picking her up.

"I love you too" she squeals as he throws her on the bed.

"Now, about those grandkids my mom deserves" he grins pulling his shirt off his body while Kyra laughs trying to get off the bed but he gets hold on her legs pulling her under him.
