Chapter 2 .2

"So you're saying that not only did Tenner Cooper make you mad, but Devin Collin also piss you off," Naomi asks confused "where's the first in that?"

I groan.

"Ivy, you and Devin didn't even get along in high school and you guys always fight like married cou-" I cut her off.

"Don't your dare finish that sentence," I hiss "I would never marry that shit face, Collin."

"There's a saying that goes 'don't spit in the sky cause it will land in your face'," Naomi chuckles.

Naomi apartment door suddenly opened, walking in was on one other the Lloyd our gay best friend.

"Sup bitches?" He walks in closing the door behind him with a pizza in his hands

I jump out of the chair, " Lloyd, I love you so much," I grab the box from his hand and go back to sit in the chair.

"So what are you guys talking about?" He asks sitting next to Naomi.

"Oh, you know about how Ivy and Devin are the perfect matches," I choke on the piece of pizza I was munching on after hearing Naomi's word.

She handed me a glass of water and I drink it down.

"They're not dating yet?" Lloyd turns to me, " Vine, what are you waiting for, Devin Collin is fucking hot.

"I know right?" Naomi chips in with him.

"That shit face." I scoff, "you guys don't know him as I do." I fold my arms over my chest looking away.

"Sure," Lloyd snort earning a glare from me.

"Devy," Naomi squealed " a perfect couple name."

This time I shot her a glare that says zip your mouth.

"Well, Devy is never going to happen," I hiss.

"Stop spitting in the sky dare," Lloyd laughed, I threw the empty pizza box at him.

Yeah, I eat the whole pizza, it's not like they weren't expecting me not to.

"You guys know that the Collin and the Eden don't get along. Do you know how much trouble I will be in if either my father or grandfather hear you saying that?"

Yes, that is one of the reasons I hate Devin Collin. He's a Collin and I am an Eden, we are destined to be enemies from the day we were born, and I shall make mine and his children be sworn enemy.

My grandfather and Timothy Collin (Devin grandfather) were best friends. Eden and Collin get along with each other, but like how things come, they go. Timothy was murdered in his office and grandfather found him because only the two of them were in the building that night. Grandfather was accused by the Collin Family, claiming that he was the one who murder Timothy.

The Eden family were shocked to see how they accuse grandfather of killing and killing someone who he considers as a brother. Since that day the Eden family kept their distance from The Collin family.

"Ivy it's not your fault," Naomi said.

I scoff "of course, it's not my fault."

Author POV

Devin walk into the room where his friends were playing pool.

"Look who finally made it," one of them turn to him. " so did she argue?" He grinning.

Devin chuckled "I'd be surprised if she didn't argue." Devin says, recalling the raven black hair woman was saying that he was jealous of her and boasting about how many times she beats him.

"Ugh, I wish I was there," he whine.

The three men in the room never take Ivy for a weak woman as she thinks they do. They just find it amusing that every time she runs into Devin, she has to argue with him.

"She was so pissed at Tenner today," Devin say shooting at the ball only to make two go in the hole.

The two men who stare at Devin with an amused look is none other than, Eric Hilton and Flynn Ross. Eric is actually Devin's cousin, but despite being relative Devin is much better looking.

Devin has dull blue-grey eyes, thick eyebrows, and short slicked-back black hair. When his hair is down, his band fall unevenly across his forehead and reach past his eyebrows. Calm and composed, Devin doesn't let things get under his skin. Even though others around him are visible agitated, Devin remains mostly unfazed. He can maintain his calm, even under situations of high pressure. Whenever he's amused, Devin expression turns into a smug smirk.

Even if Eric is a Hilton, he still has some of the Collin blood running through his vein, from his mother who is Devin's aunt.

Eric who once has dirty blonde hair now have dark brown hair, thick eyebrows and light brown eyes that get the attention of a lot of women. Eric thinks money is the solution to every problem. Everyone who knows him knows that he's a man whore. Like the rest of his family, he too hates the Eden, but also want the two Eden sisters in his bed.

Flynn Ross has thick eyebrows, dark greyish looking eyes, and red hair. Flynn has been friends with Devin ever since first grade. He has no problem with Eden but because Devin is his friend he tends to keep his distance. Friendly, which mean Flynn have a lot of friends. Not only is the friendly but also loyal and hardworking man many women would kill to have. He has one little secret from the world, his precious daughter whom he loves dearly. She's his sun, moon and stars, his little red-haired princess.

"I heard she's working on a new perfume," Flynn say taking a bottle of water from the mini-fridge.

"She's all-time working," Eric laughed. "She even has a club and doesn't even go there."

It's true after inheriting her father's company, Eden. She starts several businesses increasing her company status along with her sister who follows in her footsteps.

Ivy has been on the front cover of numerous magazines as the richest and most beautiful woman in all of New Orleans. Her business has been blooming from the moment she sits in the CEO chair.

Her fiery temper is what amused Devin.

"Hey, let's go to her club," Eric suggested with a smirk "it's not like she'll be there and kick us out."

The Collin has never been seen on either one of the Eden properties if they were then war would start between the two families would start.

Devin thought twice before replying "sure," he secretly wanted to see his muse.

The young CEO/model step out of her car once her driver held the door open for her.

"Thank you," she offers him a polite smile.

Some may think that she's arrogant but she's actually nice and caring.

She was going to her makeup shop. One that sells the most expensive foundations. She looks up at the sign: G&B (Glow & Beauty). She smile but her smile faded when she saw who was in her shop.

She marched into the shop, catching everyone attention. Getting greeted by her employees who she smile kindly at.

"I guess even my enemies also love my creations," she smiled.

The two women are no one other than Erica Hilton and Debbie Collin and the woman standing in front o them is the second daughter of Max Eden and then youngest granddaughter of James Eden also Ivy sister. Ebony Eden.

"Don't flatter yourself," Erica spat.

"Flatter myself?" Ebony asks "my hard work pay off, unlike some people who don't even know what the word hard work mean."

Ebony knew that the women in the Collin family don't work the men do all the work while the women sit back like queens, not even queens cause queens work.

Debbie know that stepping in here would've caused trouble, but Erica wanted to go into Ebony's shop, thinking that the young boss wouldn't visit her shop. But even if Ebony didn't come by her shop, her loyal employees would have about the Collin arrival.

Debbie is only sixteen and she's Devin half-sister being for the same father but not the same mother. Because she's the bastard child of the Collin family she tends to keep out of the business. She doesn't want to be involved with Eden.

Ebony eyes went on the young girl, seeing that she looked to be in her fifteen or sixteen Ebony decided to let it go. "Since I'm feeling so good today, I'll let this go."

"Bitch," Erica cursed under her breath, Ebony still heard her.

"oh and Erica, someday you'll come to me begging for forgiveness, so don't make it hard for me not to forgive you ."
