Jared had no idea that his words had sent a chill down Maggie's spine. He noticed her pale face and frowned lightly. "Maggie, are you alright? Is anything the matter? Are you feeling sick?"

His concerned words broke her chain of thoughts and Maggie shook her head, not knowing what to say. "I am fine, Jared. It's just that..." Maggie stopped suddenly and glanced at the man who was behaving weird since the time the explosion had occurred. "Nothing, it's nothing."

"Let me retrieve the video." With that, Maggie started with her work and in no time, she had got the video.

Jared carefully observed the girl beside him, more worried about her rather than the video. Her face had paled in a second and he had no idea why. But now, it seemed as though it was all his illusion. Maggie seemed to be perfectly fine and there was her usual calmness back in place. He could not comprehend what had gone wrong with her, seeing her return to normal sooner than he had thought. 'I guess the blast must have scared her. Poor girl.'

"I am done. Take a look." Maggie handed him the laptop and the man played the video from a minute before the explosion. However, he could find nothing suspicious. Everything seemed to be normal, nobody had moved out of place or acted weird for him to doubt them.

"Dammit. We reached a dead end again. How are we even going to solve this issue? Who the fuck is responsible for this?" He cursed and Maggie smirked, relief taking over her entire form.

'Thank you, Jared. Your lack of knowledge in computers saved me this time.' Maggie patted her back in her mind, praising her skills more. Without Jared's knowledge, Maggie had cropped a few seconds of the video right under his nose and the man had no idea about it. And why would he doubt the girl, when she had done an excellent job at covering her crime? 'How could I have forgotten about this surveillance footage? Thank the Lords, I could delete it in time. Otherwise..." Just the thought of the outcome made the girl shiver in her place.

"Maggie, can you try to find out anything about our men? Anybody who has acted suspicious..." Jared could not continue as his phone blared on the ruined floor, making the girl cringe at the loud sound. Before the man could answer the call, Maggie had taken a look and she had seen the caller: Godfather.

'Now, what the heck does this old man want?' Maggie wondered and her question got answered when Jared ended the call sooner than she had expected him to.

"I need to leave now. I have some work to do. Maggie, do you want to come with me?" Jared queried darting a look at the destruction in front of him.

"I am fine, Jared. I'll stay."

"Be careful."

With that, Maggie and Jared separated ways and the girl went to her room which was still intact and clean. Stifling a yawn, Maggie immediately sent an encrypted message to Valarie. 'Thank you for the explosive. Came handy today.' The day's exhaustion and stress took over her and she fell asleep the moment her head met the pillow.

"You eat the cake, sweetheart. I'll eat you." Joshua's charming and sexy fell on Ivy's ears and she shuddered slightly. His hot breath made her feel things she had never felt before and her face and neck had gone red as the man inched closer to her.

"But.." Ivy tried to come up with something that would stop the man. However, he shushed her with his mouth, attacking her lips vigorously. Ivy did not even have the time to push him away and before she knew it, she was bare before him.

"You are so beautiful and sweet, Ivy. I am fortunate to have met you and even more to have you as my girlfriend." Joshua muttered, running his eyes over her bare torso. "Thank you so much for accepting me and loving me back."

Ivy felt the man's heated desire and her eyes met his, which were oozing with love, adoration, and lust. "Joshua," She moaned when the man's rough hand ran over her inner thigh. "What-what are you doing?"

"I am worshipping my goddess. Don't disturb me." The man said, his voice reducing an octave. Ivy had no idea when the man had discarded his clothes, flaunting his alluring body before her. Mesmerized by his delicious abs, Ivy wanted to feel those muscles under her palm, when the man held her hand, stopping her.

"Ivy, are you ready, darling?"

A frown took over the girl's face and she blinked in confusion. "Ready for what?"

"For what we are going to do next." The man answered and his fingers brushed across her petals slowly, making Ivy bite her lips. Not stopping at that, Joshua kissed the girl and when she was utterly lost in their passionate kiss, the man plunged his finger inside her hot cavern. Ivy squirmed in her place at the sudden intrusion, but all her movements were restricted as the man was holding her in his arms, with no place for her to run away. Even her moans were swallowed as he deepened the kiss while he added another finger inside her.

Ivy had already lost all her reasoning and had succumbed to what Joshua was doing to her. His lips and his fingers were doing wonders to her body and she did not want it to stop, him to stop. Heat pooled in her stomach and slowly she started to inch towards the sweet heaven she very badly wanted to reach. However, the man was torturing her with his slow pace, not allowing her to get the edge she was craving for.

Sensing that the man was playing with her, Ivy bit his lips hard and Joshua pulled back with a groan. However, his hands continued with their magic and Ivy had to use a lot of strength to concentrate. "You..You." She stuttered only to moan out loud when the man curled his fingers.

"Yes, me, Ivy. You were saying something." Joshua teased and increased his pace gradually.

Ivy's eyes rolled back in her head and she took deep breaths while Joshua observed her carefully, taking in her beautiful form. Ivy just needed one last push to go flying in the clouds when the man stopped suddenly.

"Why?" She whined, frustration and desperation taking over her anger and rationality.

"Let's take the next step."

"What do you mean?" Ivy narrowed her eyes, fearing what the man had in mind.

"Let's have sex." And before the girl could even protest, the man had thrust his thick member inside her and Ivy screamed out loud. "No...No..."

"What the fuck, Ivy!! Go back to sleep." Joshua groaned and turned his head away from her as he continued to hug his pillow. Ivy's eyes widened and the next moment, she got up in a haste, looking around her.

Joshua was lying peacefully beside her and both of them were still in the clothes they had worn before their sleep. Ivy's jaw dropped on realization. 'What the hell happened just now? Was I dreaming? Did I just have a wet dream?'
