"So, how are you now? Last week you were sneezing too much." Daniel tucked the loose strands of her hair behind her ears. 

"Yeah... I just went out in rain to enjoy but eventually fell sick." Iris gave a small smile to Daniel. 

"Too childish. That was not even raining to enjoy. It was a thunderstorm." 

"I wish some people would understand," Iris mumbled under her breath remembering how Dimitrios ordered her to go out in such conditions.

"What did you say?" Missing those incoherent words Daniel tried to grab the statement but Iris just nodded her head by saying "Nothing." 

"So, are we still friends?" Daniel asked guessing her little off that day. 

"Of course we are." Iris smiled back. The devil might have done enough, but she couldn't just leave the only person who made her feel normal and happy in life. She knew there would remain a chance of risking Daniel's safety but she made that sure with Igor to keep it a

    Days passed, the complications never ended. Igor was furious watching the increasing load of work, training, and academics on Iris. The girl was not even getting time to breathe. Dimitrios became more reluctant to hear any of Igor's words for Iris. Maria was tired of handling Dimitrios's weird demands like waking Iris up early in the morning for training or making her run fast in the tracks. Sometimes she wondered what Dimitrios was trying to do. Iris was sitting for dinner beside Dimitrios as it became quite a new trend in the house. Igor was having his food but only Iris was moving her fork and spoon here and there on her plate. Picking up a small portion of the meat she tried to gulp it down for the second time. The strange smell made her a little nauseous and she couldn't understand how her appetite had actually gone. "Is everything fine Iris? Do you want something else?" Maria asked watching her plate but she just nodded her head.

    "I doubt if I had ever faced this." Dimitrios tapped his fingers on his forehead while pacing in his corridor and speaking to himself."Fuck....I didn't even see that coming...." He growled while punching the nearby wall making the painting of the wall brush off a little."What haven't you seen coming?" He snapped his head towards the source of the voice and found Igor standing in his night suit holding a cup of coffee."What the hell are you doing here at this hour of the night?" Dimitrios yelled back without even paying any heed to his intentions of coming at his wing."Why the hell have you awaken half of the mansion? And I heard of calling a doctor again? What's wrong with Iris?"Igor knew the major reason for calling a doctor home would be Iris only. This was not the first time Dimitrios was reluctant about accepting his faults but Igor was pissed off with his continuous torturous behavior."Igor, let

    "Iris......" "The small scissors she was holding to cut open the tag of the new material dropped from her hand when his voice echoed in her room. "Jesus...." She gasped turning behind and watching a furious Dimitrios standing there with his hands in his pockets. "What's wrong with you?" She gathered a little amount of her courage to ask but regretted that immediately. Taking some menacing steps towards her Dimitrios closed the gap in between. "What's wrong with you, Slave?" After a certain time, the annotation "Slave" seemed foreign to her ears. Even though she was not fully excused from household works, Dimitrios had rarely used that tag to call her in public or private. Now that he had again used the same, a strange pain shot through her heart making her eyes moistened. "Slave......" She murmured under her breath expecting that he won't be able to hear. But to her surprise, he heard and a throaty chuckle left his mout

    "Happy Birthday Iris...... Many Many happy returns of the day...."Iris opened her eyes hearing the sweet voice of Maria who was holding a breakfast tray along with a small decorated cake in her hand."My God, Maria. How do you know that?" Iris rubbed her eyes while sitting up on her bed with a smile worth million dollars."Well.. that's a secret...." Maria winked her eye bringing everything to the nearby coffee table. Iris jumped out of the bed to hug her tightly with a little number of warm tears in her eyes."You know I thought, no one would wish me." She laughed while dropping a small drop of tears on Maria's shoulder."Who wouldn't wish you? Tell me, I will take care of that."Hearing the voice Iris lifted her face and met Igor standing there at the threshold of the room."Igor...." She ran towards him and hugged him tightly."Happy birthday champ..." Ruffling her hair with h

    "Time flies. Isn't it?" Iris asked Maria who was watering some plants in the garden. Rather they were Iris's favorite plants that she had picked up randomly."True... When you first came here you were this much..." Maria showed her the height of a small kid and Iris just rolled over the grass laughing loud. Definitely, it was a joke because it had been almost two years only since she stepped inside Bratva's Mansion. So no way Maria had seen her as a kid."Nice joke...." She replied clutching her stomach tightly."Well... What can I say? By the way, how is Daniel?" Maria asked taking a look around the corner of the premises."Shh... " Iris immediately stood up from the ground and ran towards Maria to suppress the matter. She knew what had happened earlier when Dimitrios got to know about Daniel. It was still an unresolved matter for them."Relax..... There is no one." Maria moved her head almost 360 degrees to confirm.

    When Dimitrios reached his mansion Iris was already half-sleep after exhausting herself to a certain extent. Her thrashing and punching died long back. But the light sobbing remained intact for the time. He clenched and unclenched his palms a lot of time but didn't stop rubbing her back whenever she whimpered louder than usual. The moment they reached the mansion it was already late at night. Coming down from the car with Iris in his lap he straightaway walked inside his mansion. Her legs were wrapped around his torso and her head was resting on his shoulder with Dimitrios's Jacket covering her back. "My god.... Is she alright....". When his figure came to Maria's notice she almost ran towards them. It was weird for her to see a sixteen years old girl clinching on Bratva's body like a child. But as her petite fitted well, it looked more of a sack of potatoes on Dimitrios. "Has the doctor arrived...?" He asked almost in a whispe

    When Iris woke up she felt herself drowsy enough to not step out of her bed. The headache was strong and the aching in her body didn't allow her to take some strong steps out of the bed. Pushing away from the blanket she forced her feet to touch the ground. Dropping her body to her feet she walked away from the bed clutching the long shirt she was wearing. When her eyes settled on the length she understood it was one of Dimitrios's shirts. "Dimitri...." She called out his name to confirm his presence in her fragile voice and already shaken confidence. She was afraid deep down just by remembering the glimpses of the incidents that had happened to her. "Dimitri...." She whispered almost not getting an answer and walked forward with her bare feet. Dozing like a drunken person she moved towards the washroom to get freshen up. Placing her hand on the door she pushed open it and got welcomed by the cold surface. Taking two mo

    "Have you really gone mad?" Dimitrios was lying on the couch when Igor entered with a mouthful of annoying words. "Not now Igor. I'm tired." Dimitrios raised his hand to dismiss him but Igor remained strict in his position. "I don't care. I don't care if you are tired or not. I am asking you once again. What made you take her down to Derek?" He plopped on the couch beside Dimitrios and made his face turn 180 degrees to answer him. "She needs to get over that." "How? By killing that bastard with her own hand? That too at the age of sixteen?" Igor panted after shouting at the top of his lungs. "She didn't kill. We did that." Dimitrios replied keeping a straight face. "Oh... Congratulations... Were you waiting for her to kill Derek?" "Igor, you are crossing your line now." "And you have crossed that line already that day you decided to keep her in your house." Saying so Igor rose to his

    "What have you decided then?" Igor pulled the chair close to him before sitting in front of Dimitrios's desk. "Nothing much." His reply was cold and his attention was fixed on something kept on the other side of the table."Still having that?" Igor followed his gaze and grabbed a look at the photo frame. It was the only picture where Iris was standing in front of Dimitrios while looking at him with a questionable expression. In those four years only once Igor got the courage to take a snap of them together. When Dimitrios found out about the incident later, he framed it and kept it somewhere in his office. He didn't know that when Maria kept it accidentally on his desk while cleaning the old kinds of stuff. "Not a use anymore." He turned the frame down and brought out another cigar to smoke."I see." Igor let out a long sigh watching the man getting old more than expected. There was always an age gap issue between Iris and Dimitrios but since she had left, it looked like Dimitrios's

    "Happy Birthday Iris...... Finally, you are an adult." Maria spoke bringing out a box of chocolates for Iris in the morning. "Thank you, Maria...." Iris jumped out of her bed and hugged Maria putting a kiss on her cheeks. "Now, get ready and come down for breakfast." She insisted on making her fast in her actions. "Well well, I will be. Where is Dimitri? Your great boss." Iris taunted her while grabbing her dress to disappear into the washroom. "He is waiting downstairs at the breakfast table," Maria replied making her bed neat and clean. "I will be coming down in ten, Maria." She shouted back from the washroom. Iris stood in front of the large mirror and watched herself carefully. She grew up quite fast. From where those four years passed she didn't remember. She turned eighteen today and all she could see was a reflection of a tall beautiful young woman in the mirror. "Dimitri...." She rolled out his name while opening the tap to splash some water on her face. Unknowingly a sm

    Iris slid through the tiniest gap that she made while opening the main door at the entrance. Holding her precious shoes in her hand she walked with the paws of a cat. Taking a sharp breath she made her way to the staircase to reach her room as fast as she could. The moment her feet touched the first step, the big chandelier illuminated just above her head and those shoes dropped from her hand to the ground making her curse under her breath. "Shit...." She whispered but didn't get the courage to turn her face to have a glance at the danger standing there. "I didn't know my house has become a paid hotel now." The voice was clear and she didn't even need to be in her senses to realize who was the owner of it.Turning her body towards the fear of her life she stood like a deer caught in a headlight. "Nice dress." Dimitrios chuckled watching her standing in a black slim fit dress that was ending just above her knees. "Dimitri... I...." Iris opened her mouth to protest when she realize

    Maria entered the room and watched Iris carefully. When she turned her face to Dimitrios, he was already walking out of the room. "Sir, what had happened with her?" Accumulating some of her courage she dared to ask the man about Iris. "Ask her. I think she owes you an explanation tomorrow." Annoyance was clear in his voice. Maria didn't drag the matter on longer. She changed Iris's dress and washed off the makeup she was wearing. In between all such movements, Iris only knitted her eyebrows a few times and went back to sleep again."Sir...." Maria called Dimitrios once she was done with Iris and stood at the corner of the room. "Are you done?" Dimitrios asked stepping inside his room. Watching Iris in a comfortable night suit he nodded at Maria and told her to leave.After what happened in the car a part of him was not at all ready to let her sleep in his room. On the other hand, he was fighting with his budding emotions to keep her for the night. With the turmoil of his emotions, h

    "Is she drunk?""I swear sir no. We were dancing and then we both came to have some mocktails. I guess she took the wrong glass as a few boys were ordering also at the same time." Robin had no intention to take advantage of Iris. At least when he was indirectly threatened by Dimitrios's men. "I doubt so boy..." Dimitrios spoke watching Iris carefully and her whole body. His eyes were searching for any sort of sign that could prove that she was assaulted. "I swear sir, she was constantly with me except two times. And that was the time I think this drinking issue happened. I took her out in the open air, the moment I realized she wasn't feeling comfortable and waited for you to come.""Dimitri....we already came late to pick her up. Let the boy go. He is speaking the truth." Igor interfered in the middle before Dimitrios could snap his neck in a second. The way he was getting hyper, there was a high chance of the young boy dying in his hand just because of offering Iris a dance."You a

    "Prom?" Iris whispered the word to herself. Never in her dreams had she thought of Dimitrios accepting such things. Snapping her head towards him, she gave him a questioning glare before asking something."Are you trying to make fun of my situation?""If you think in such a way I can't do anything." Dimitrios shifted his gaze from her face to the other side of the window. The busy road had ended and they were heading in the direction of Iris's school. "But ... I... " She stopped herself from making an embarrassing statement. She couldn't just let him know that she had no confirmed partner. Gulping down the little fear she sat straight while fidgeting with her fingers. After twenty minutes of drive, they reached their destination. But no one decided to come down from the car for a good five minutes. "Don't you want to go inside?" Dimitrios was the first person to break the monotony of the silence. "Yes......" "Good... Now give me your hand first." Dimitrios ordered and Iris followe

    "So how are you doing young lady..." Igor pulled the chair near Iris's desk to sit. "As you see. Closed in a room." She showed annoyance and Maria came forward to pat her head. "It's ok. We can still try asking him for one more time." "What you are planning to ask and whom?" Not knowing the whole story Igor asked when Iris finally turned her focus completely on him. "Who else. Of course your great Bratva....." She chewed her last words. "And what exactly he did do now?" Igor placed his hands below his chin and asked her making an innocent face. "There was a small program in my school. More like a prom you know...... " A glimpse of happiness flashed upon her face while she was speaking about the event. "And then?" Igor asked to know more. "Dimitri isn't allowing me to step out after 6:00 p.m. Do you think I'm his dog that he would always keep the lash in his hand." She became hyper this time. "Iris... Please... It's not like that..." Igor felt bad when she dragged the compariso

    "Nice..... You have learned well....." "Is it so?""Yeah... obviously...." Jim spoke with equal excitement just as Iris. As they were training together the door of the section burst open revealing a large figure in front of another one. "Bratva...." It didn't take long for Jim to recognize Dimitrios standing there with bloodshot eyes and Igor with the same annoying expression. "Jim, send her back. I need the boxing ring for myself." "Sure Bratva..." Nodding his head in affirmation he walked towards the end of the ring and called out his subordinate to instruct him something. "Iris... We would continue tomorrow." He turned towards Bratva and nodded his head. He knew the meaning of asking for the boxing ring for Bratva himself. There comes a few moments when Bratva decided to vent out his anger or teach the traitor some lesson. And fighting is something that he enjoys the most. The painful scream, and blood spitting out of those traitors' mouths and bodies always gave him a differen
