The offer

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.

EMMA'S APARTMENT

Emma Herpet spread her thighs apart, about dipping her hands into her honeypot. It was time for her training but she care less. To her, there's no need practicing. She is known worldwide....her name is in the mouth of everyone. She got the flame and no doubt, she is a great dancer that Alphonso Studio has ever produces.

So, there's no need training with those bank up dancers especially Ivy. She grunted just mere thinking of her.

She dipped one of her fingers into her honey pot and gasped. Fuck- right now she's a horny mess and can fuck anyone she lays hands on right now. She hiss and climbed down the bed. She picked up a vibrator and laid on the bed again. She was all nakad as she spread her legs apart. Without thinking twice, she shoved it right inside her p**sy.

"Fuck!"She grunted and shut her eyes. She about moving it when a knock came at her door. She ignores it and started fucking herself with the vibrator.

The knock didn't stop either. It kepts sounding. "Fuck" she inhaled.

"Open up Emma or I'm gonna break the door" A voice uttered and as if it brought back her senses, she withdraw the vibrator from her p**sy and threw it away.

Of course the voice seems authorized and it belongs to Master Williams. He's the second person to Henry Alphonso, the owner of Great Alphonso dancing Empire. Infact you have to get through him before you can see Alphonso.

"Come in, its not locked" Emma said and rolls eyes. Master williams wasted no time and pushed the door opened. He was shocked to see Emma nakad and couldn't help but gulped down. Emma on the other hand, didn't made any efforts to cover up.

" What the heck Emma, " Master Williams uttered and Emma rolls her eyes again.

"Are you gonna say what you came here for or perhaps get out" she said calmly.

"And if it's about coming out for training, then you can as well get out

"Well... That's not why I'm here" Master Williams replied. He sat on one of her sofa, making himself comfortable.

"Well i came for something else." he said and her face brightened up

"Really? What's it" she asked.

"Do you know you're nominated for the female entertainer of the year" he said and she smiled

"Wow." she said.

"But you're not the only one" he cut her short.

"Well am okay with that. Its normal. Alot of people get nominated but i assure you, I'm gonna be the winner" she smiled

"Do you know they are two nominees from your show?" He asked.

"And who's the other one" she asked furrowing her brows.

"Its Ivy " he replied and she frowned. "Why..why Ivy?" She stuttered getting up from the bed.

"Our show rating as been going down. The audience is tired of your same moves. They want something different and that's why the ratings becomes high whenever Ivy is on stage" He said and Emma scoffed out loudly.

" if you win, no problem but if Ivy win, then it's gonna affect your show. It will no longer be Emma on prime time (EOPT) but Emma and Ivy on prime time (EIOPT)" He said.

"What! " She flares up.

"Are you indirectly telling me there will be a replacement"

She screamed out. She got to the sofa and sat down beside him.

"Yes. It's the management decision not mine"he replied.

"The Management can't do this to me. This is my show! I'm the queen of the dance floor. They can't do this to me!!" She flares up.

"Then let your show bring good ratings!. The ratings can't keep going down. If we fail, then the whole network fail. I'm sorry but the management has made up their mind" He said and tears rushed out of Emma's eyes.

"This can't be" She muttered.

"This isn't the end Emma. You still owns the show for now...... Is still your show. You just have to prove you can bring more ratings than her by winning this contest"He said.

"Exactly, it's still my show. I can't share my stage with anyone else. Who does that Ivy think she is?.

I worked hard for this show and you know it" she cried. .

"That's the management decision not me" Mr Williams said.

"Aren't you a member of the management? Aren't you part of it. What have i be lacking. Please tell me, just tell me and I will do it" She said moving to him and rubbing her naked body on him. Master Williams tried moving back but Emma moved forward. She held his tie and pulled him on her.

"Emma I'm married" he said.

"No tell me. You know i will do anything for you right?" She asked and slam her lips on him. She started kissing him hungrily.

"Emmm....."He couldn't complete his statement as Emma bite on his lower lip. He gasped and she used that opportunity to tucked her tongue deep into his mouth. He couldn't help it but kissed her back.

"Just tell me anything you want and i will do it" She kissed him hungrily as she unbuttoned his suit.
