Chapter 188
“And good morning to you too,” Mason said with a smile.
He saw the fear in tvy’s eyes before it faded into anger. She placed her hands on the table and tilted her head.
A proud bitch
“You didn’t answer my question,” she said, her eyes locked on his.
For a moment, he wanted to challenge her, to see if he could break her. But he didn’t have time. The longer he stayed outside, the harder it would be to keep his story believable.
He couldn’t tell her how he knew to find her here. Not without admitting, again, that Joe had followed her here after the vandalism.
She could have him arrested for stalking. And now she had guards–snipers, even. Staying any longer could ruin him.
The thought sent a chill down his spine and he swallowed. “Can… I sit down?”
“No.” Her response was quick, brutal. “What do you want?”
“Okay, I’ll be quick,” he said with one of his charming smiles, but it didn’t work, Ivy was frowning. “I’m here to make you a deal.”
Ivy raised a brow. “A deal? Why would I want to do that?”
He had spent the night rehearsing this moment. Now, it was time to implement. He adjusted his uncomfortable jacket and stepped forward cautiously.
“I know you’re fighting for Cheryl, and I respect that,” he began carefully. “The deal is that I won’t drag for custody of the child until Cheryl is ready, but you have to pay me.”
Ivy blinked. “Pay you?”
“Yes,” he said, more confidently now. “Three million dollars and I’ll let my son stay with you and Cheryl till whenever.”
He had expected her to bargain, to meet him halfway. Instead she laughed, so loud that heads turned in the restaurant.
“You want me to pay you for your child?” she asked, throwing her head back with another laugh.
Mason shuffled on his feet, his cheeks burning with embarrassment. “We… can negotiate. How much are you willing to give me?”
“Give you?” Her laughter doubled. “Oh, Mason. You’re so fucking delusional.”
Not delusional, just desperate. But he couldn’t say that. He was broke, he was anxious. He had nobody else to turn to. Rosie was not an option now, but a threat. The publicity from the gunshots had died almost instantly. No one cared.
“I know about Aaliyah’s lesbian business,” he blurted. “You’ve got the fame now. But I can ruin it. I’ll tell the world how you kept my child from me. So pay me.”
Ivy’s face twisted and his heart leapt. Oh, it was working, yes!
She took out her phone and scrolled for a moment. “Didn’t know Aaliyah had already announced that.” Then she stood up. “Go to hell, Mason.”
His stomach dropped. The threat had failed. She picked up her bag and walked out with her bodyguard.
Mason followed her, sweat beading his forehead. “Maybe I asked for too much. Two million, then.”
She turned to him, her eyes blazing. “Ain’t you supposed to be unconscious?”

Well, I thought the news was going to…” he trailed off and quickly put on his mask to hide his face. “Don’t you want only Adliyah’s Resha thrive. You already have too much going on, if I add mine, it will
“Go. To. Helll” Ivy snarled. “Fuck off!”
The sharpness in her voice made him flinch. She turned away, and he watched as her car left the lot.
“One million!” he called out in desperation. “Please!”
But the car didn’t stop. It disappeared, leaving him alone in the parking lot. Pain surged through his chest, and then rage.
“Fucking bitch!” he snapped as he stormed to his car.
He drove to his office, his head racing with thoughts. When he arrived, he was surprised to see everywhere empty.
“Anne? Bob?” He yelled out his employee’s names. But no answer.
Maybe it was a prank. But as the minutes passed, the silence confirmed the truth.
They were gone.
“How fucking convenient!” he barked, his voice echoing in the empty room. He stormed to his office, only to see Jenny behind her table.
“Jenny?” he asked, stunned. “What are you doing here?”
Jenny rose to her feet. “Mr Hunter!” she smiled, rushing to him.
“Where is everyone?”
“They left,” she said, her smile widening. “They said they didn’t want to work here, after the police business.”
Anger flared in his chest. “Ingrates!”
“But I’m here,” Jenny said, her thin voice echoing in the reception area. “And we can fuck anywhere we want.”
“Jenny! What the hell?” he scoffed.
She giggled and slowly unbuttoned her shirt. His eyes widened when he saw her hard nipples.
“You’ve been through a lot,” she purred. “You faked being unconscious but the world didn’t even give a shit.”
Mason clenched his fists. “I didn’t even last in the news, before they yanked me off.”
“That’s why you need to let it all qut,” she whispered, moving closer. She took off her shirt completely, and rubbed his chest. “Let me help.”
When her lips found the hollow of his neck, his dick jerked and his tension broke.
She was right, he needed some relief.
“Take off your skirt,” he ordered.
Jenny giggled, pulling it down slowly. “I’ve dreamed of you fucking me here. Too bad no one can walk in on us, like Cheryl.”
He paused, then frowned. “That’s my fiancée. The mother of my son. Don’t talk about her like that.”
“Sorry,” she said quickly. “I didn’t mean to.”
“Yeah,” he muttered, still annoyed.

She leaned in again, and bit his lower lip. “Don’t be mad, babe, I know you’re under pressure. You’re such a strong man
Her praise lifted his spirit and he crushed his lips against hers as she unbuttoned his shirt.
In no time, they were both naked, kissing and touching. He cleared the table in one sweep and lifted her onto it.
“So fucking strong.” she moaned.
His dick throbbed and he deepened the kiss. “Go get some condoms from my bottom drawer.”
“Yes sir,” Jenny teased.
As she left, he stroked himself, admiring his gigantic erection. When Jenny returned, her eyes gleamed with mischief.
“Let me help you.” She dropped to her knees and took him into her mouth.
“Fuck, Jenny,” he moaned as her tongue found his opening.
Her hands massaged his balls and he plunged deeper into her mouth. He thrusted hard until she started to gag under his command.
“Stand up,” he said and she did.
He wore the condom, spread her thighs on the table and took her from behind.
Jenny moaned loudly, her voice echoing in the room. He pounded her insides until he felt her creamier on his dick.
He went in further, letting go of all the stress, the frustration, the humiliation.
“I’m coming!” Jenny cried out.
“Me too,” he said, his breath ragged.
“Jesus Christ!” Someone shouted from behind them.
Mason didn’t stop, his thrusts increased until they both climaxed.
“Who was that?” Jenny asked, her breathing heavily.
“I don’t know,” he said, panting as he wiped his face.
Joe stood in the doorway, his back turned to them. “Get some clothes on!” he snapped.
Mason chuckled as he dressed. “Hope you enjoyed the show.”
Jenny quickly threw on her clothes. “I’ll wait outside, sir.“.
Once she was gone, Mason turned to Joe. “Did you get her number?”
Joe frowned. “Yes.”
Mason ignored the frown. “Give me.”
He took out his phone and dialed Elaine Chase’s number. His other plan had been to propose a deal; him as the inspiration, she as the direc
“Hello?” came her voice on the line.
“Ms. Chase? This is Mason Hunter. We met at the hospital-”
“Oh, the gunshot guy,” she laughed. “How are you?”

“I’m great,” he said smoothly. “I was thinking… maybe we could work together. You know part of my story. It could inspire your next fire,
Elaine chuckled. “It doesn’t work like that.”
He frowned. Maybe he wasn’t saying the right thing? “Think about-
“No, Mason. But here’s what I can do for you. I hear Ivy Stone is your ex–wife. Get her to meet with me, and I’ll pay you handsomely.”
His heart fluttered. He didn’t have to overthink it. He already knew what he had to do.
“How much are we talking about, Elaine?”
