~~ THEME SONG OF THE CHAPTER ~~
~~ Safari By Serena ~~
[[ IRIS'S POV ]]
After drenching like a crow under the heavy rainfall, I finally managed to return to my apartment holding those broken pieces more likely my broken heart pieces. I didn't bother to look for the gang anymore nor did I bother to check on it.
After sobbing for an hour probably, I finally laid down on my warm bed and soon after sleep consumed me before I could over think further.
The rest of the night passed away quickly until the alarming ringtone broke my beauty sleep once again as I shifted annoyingly over my fluffy pillow.
Squeezing my eyes shut, I reached for the phone that was ringing and vibrating over the desk continously. As soon as the call was connected, I heard an unknown tone that quickly snapped me out from my wild dreams,
" Miss Young, you need to reach over at President's Villa before 7 a.m. Remember to reach before time."
I jolted up from the bed before taking glance from the table clock that showed 6a.m I thanked Scott internally as he considered to remind me an hour ago. I responded briefly before hauling up from my messy bed and ran towards the bathroom.
I definitely shouldn't be late today no matter what..!
After having a warm shower that successfully faded away my sleepy head, I walked over the cabinet before choosing shirt and skirt that reached till my knees. Without caring about my make up today, I only applied lipbum on my lips and made a bun upwards tightly.
Heading outside, I stuffed some breads hastily as tomato reminded me in his robotic tone,
" Mommy should have full breakfast."
I ignored his order and replied throwing a fly kiss,
" Not today, sweetheart. You don't want me to loose my job, don't you? Take care of the apartment, love."
I finished my words before striding downstairs through the elevator as soon as possible. Lucky I got a cab soon after thus I started for the Rainton Villa fast.
Around one hour later, I arrived at the exact location that Scott had sent me in my phone. Paying off the bill, I landed down slowly as my eyes caught the image of his lavishing villa surrounded by hundreds of guards who all were uniformed in black suit.
Walking towards the entrance, I gave my brief introduction as the guards let me in after checking my body curiously. Passing the giant doorway, I started heading for the indoor area through the path that had two rows of bodyguards from both sides. They all had a robotic expression and perhaps I would have considered them death if they didn't keep breathing.
Looking up at the two storied building,I saw the exterior which were all designed with blue cryst lined tiles that resembled the color of ocean. The outdoor was accommodated with a well spacious garden that had various flowers blossoming happily.
I must have admitted that he was way too unique judging the environment as president. After entering the downhall, I spotted no one thus called out politely hoping to see anyone,
" Hello.. Hello.. Is there anyone? Mr President??"
I stopped midway when I saw an elderly woman peeking at me from the kitchen. She smiled sweetly as if we were familiar for a long time and answered,
" Oh dear, you must be his new secretary. Go upstairs. He is over there. "
I thanked politely before climbing upstairs offering her a sweet smile. Stopping in front of a half opened door, I spotted the navy blue suite over the bedside thus I was sure that it was his room. Knocking twice, I got no response and skidded inside calling him out gently.
My eyes were widened in amusement when the various paintings got my attraction too fast. I momentarily forgot that I was standing inside the nation god's room, I started observing the award winning paintings that moved my heart quickly.
Tiptoeing on the floor, I scanned them one by one until the bathroom door was opened gently without notifying me.
As I was too devastated into those paintings, his magnetic tone came from my back,
" When did you come? Shouldn't you have knocked?"
I jolted turning around as my mind went blank for a while spotting the god gifted muscular figure ahead. After having shower, his skin gleamed more fresh like a breathtaking vampire who could be devoted by anyone. Those oceanic eyeballs appeared more seducing under the drizzles of his tossled hairs that had reached down nearly his left eyelids. The droplets were still on his collarbone area that made his skin too much refreshing. I couldn't shift my sinful eyes away for a moment until his voice hit my brain,
" Miss Young?!"
I jolted lowering down my eyes awkwardly and replied truthfully,
" Sorry, I didn't hear any response and thought of taking a look inside."
He hummed coldly before reaching to take up his suit. Thus I hurriedly suggested intending to approach him,
" Let me help you.."
" No need!", his voice was sharp as my silhouette paused midway abruptly.
Blinking my eyes awkwardly, he continued lowering the range of his tone,
" I don't like being touched by women. Keep your distance from me."
I was a little taken back over his attitude and hummed coldly retreating a step backward. He proceeded wiping his shiny droplets swiftly and asked nonchalantly,
" How did you arrive so fast? Did you live nearby.. "
He paused abruptly before glancing at my way sharply as if he had just found a mystery of mine. Touching my face awkwardly to sense anything wrong, I saw him approaching towards while I remained dumbfounded.
He stopped just in front of me giving me suspicious glances as he inquired straightforwardly,
" Do you have husband?"
I was stunned before shaking my head blankly. Frowning his refreshed eyebrows deeply, he commanded like a pirate commander,
" Move your face sideway."
I blinked without registering his words but his fiery eyes couldn't give me any chance to rebuke his command. Biting down my lips, I tilted my face sideway giving him the full access to observe my right face side.
But the next moment, he cursed me viciously,
" Are you girls fond of getting tortured by a man who don't know how to cherish you? Huh??"
I stuttered without having the damn ideas of his blatant words,
" What.. what.. do you mean.."
Much to my surprise, he suddenly pulled me towards him before leading us in front of his full viewed dresser hastily. I staggered abruptly before stopping ahead facing his darkened expression.
I ordered drooping his displeased eyes sternly,
" Turn your head a little and see what reward you have got."
I frowned slightly before tilting my head side away facing his bare figure from ahead. Before I could examine my face, I spotted our improper posture into the mirror that showed my full back including his bare figure.
He was towering over me gazing at me through the mirror harshly as my heart skipped a beat hearing his abrupt heartbeats. Finally I noticed the red imprinted marks over my cheek that possibly left by the bastard last night.
Shit..! Why didn't I put on my makeup today.!
But he definitely misunderstood something as I heard him continuing in a cold voice,
" You know, miss young the more you will play weak, the more this world gonna treat you like trash."
I didn't know why his words hit the core of my heart as I apologised quickly not providing him any explanation,
" I'm sorry, president. Let me cover it. I forgot to apply make up today. "
He stopped me blocking my slipping figure and huffed coldly,
" No need! I have something in my room. You don't need to show off your personal life roaming outside more and more."
I was left with no words against his harsh commands as I saw him heading for the drawer behind me. I shifted an inch away awkwardly afraid of being touched by him as he had just commanded me to maintain our distance firmly.
He pulled out an antibiotic ointment making me frown slightly. Pulling out a cotton bar, he turned towards me lifting his hand up as I watched his movements blankly.
His gaze was sharper than knife that cut through my heart and gave me wild thoughts in my sinful mind. Frowning deep hard, he suddenly gripped my chin as I jolted against his icy touch. He spoke indifferently scanning those finger marks,
" Let me help you with that. You don't know how to use it anyways."
He stated before attaching some cream on the cotton as I remained frozen and watched his skillful movements.
His gaze was attentive as he closed the gap between us before attempting to touch my cheek once again. I jolted as he pressed the cotton on my cheek that hurt a little.
He asked in a gentle tone,
" Does it hurt?"
I answered negatively while keeping my eyes locked on his attentive expression. He inquired continuing his task gently,
" Does he hurt you always?"
I answered absentmindedly while felt too devastated by his gentle care,
" Yes...!!!"
He paused shooting me cold glare as I felt a chill running down through my spine asking,
" Why don't you leave him?"
I quickly snapped out from my wild thoughts before asserting his questions carefully.
Wait, what was he talking about?
I parted my lips to correct him but his voice came out first leaving me speechless,
" You know Miss Young, you don't have to be so weak in front of a man just because you love him. Open your eyes and see that how many men desire for you."
I opened my mouth to speak up but nothing came out as I didn't know how to explain the situation. Thus subconsciously I bite down my bottom lips dropping my eyes on the cold floor hesitantly.
He spoke abruptly,
" Don't do that.. "
I was confused before looking up and spit out blankly,
" Do what?"
Asking back, I bite down my bottom lips once again as it was my bad habit that I couldn't get over it in years. He hissed softly giving me an annoying look as I blinked abruptly.
Shifting his eyes once again over my face, I noticed the excitement behind his gaze that made my heart skipped a bit.
Closing our tiny gap once again until my back faced the edge of his bed, he whispered in my face gazing through my flattered eyes,
" You don't know how much you appear seductive when you bite down your lips, do you?"
I was blank headed by his ambitious statement as my breathing hitched noticing the minor gap between our faces. Just another inche, our lips could collide into one.
I gulped down appearing restless when I found him not moving a bit from my face. His gaze was firm and unmoved from my firing face as I gulped down my saliva.
I don't know why he could easily waver my heart in a short time that never happened staying with that person ever..!
He leaned in slowly towards my quivering lips as I couldn't hold back the anxiety within me anymore. Thus I squeezed my eyes shut in shot while trembling inwardly.
He was still leaning towards my me as I could sense his raspy breathing over my skin anticipating a sinful moment in my head.
A kiss!! Was he attempting to kiss me?
I didn't know but still I squeezed and assumed random things inwardly.
What was happening with me?
[[ XAVIER'S POV]] I saw her squeezing her eyes shut as she trembled violently like a fallen leaf. I couldn't possibly move away from her painted lips but the fingermarks bothered my mind a lot. I couldn't even figure out a reasonable answer to feel so much bothered about her within a day. Do I even know her? Absolutely no! She had been working under me just for a day and I seemed to talk with her only few times. I speculated her long eyelashes that were quivering like a fallen stream as my soft smile escaped through my lips. Did I just smile? Hell no! I should just restraint myself. What was I going to do? My eyes drooped down on her inviting lips once again as I felt my throat drying. The way, her tongue bite down her bottom lips, it only gave me the urge to seize a little bit taste of her ruby lips but I couldn't do it. I am a gentleman and the
*** THEME SONG OF THE CHAPTER *** ~ Highest In The Room By Travis Scott, Rosalia ~ [[ IRIS'S POV ]] The driver responded unfolding his seat belts and intending to get down, " I have no idea, Mr President. Please be seated. I'm calling out the security guards to watch over the whole area." After providing us a reasonable reply,he got down from the car leaving two of us alone as I tried my best to be invisible.For some unknown reason, his presence was making my heart fluttered that was the hidden truth buried in my heart. As the grieve silence engulfed the air of car, I could vaguely sense his curious eyes on me while I shifted in my spot awkwardly. Soon after, a presidential guard came across the window as he gave two light knocks over the glass mirror. He pulled down the mirror using the switch swiftly as he gave a c
𖦹 THEME SONG OF THE CHAPTER𖦹 ★ Butterfly Effect By Travis Scott ★ [[ IRIS'S POV ]] I would be crashed drastically by heaven gods if I admitted that I wasn't feeling hypnotised under his intense gaze. His blue eyes were stuck on my baffled face as if it was looking through every inche of my emotions. He kept our eye contact for a few seconds not bothering to answer my previous question before speaking through his pursued lips, " Can you move now, Miss Young?" I made an awkward hum sound before shifting further away and rubbed the hem of my skirt uncomfortably. He checked the door lock once assuring that it wasn't opened by me. Then he turned around his domineering silhouette to face me warning again seriously, " Do not step into the places where you shouldn't go, Miss Young. Maintain your distance from my personal staffs until I tell you to do somethin
~ THEME SONG OF THIS CHAPTER ~ <<<< Church By The Chase Atlantic >>>>> [[ IRIS'S POV ]] My paces were abrupt as I continued making my towards Mr.Scott's chamber absentmindedly. My foolish mind continued reflecting on the poor image of that man who shedded tears in front me. I heard once from my mother that men would only cry when he is deeply hurt! How much his children would be heartbroken if he loses everything? This thoughts were terribly bothering me as I clasped the files handed by Mr.Scott. Making my way out of his office, I headed for the president's office still contemplating on the thought that how should I pursue him exactly. Damn Iris! You could have offered me some money instead! Why did you bother to accept this risky task that could definitely lead you to hell? You have the damn courage
[[ IRIS'S POV ]] My cheeks turned hot in anger and embarrassment as I shot dagger glare on his cringe smirk. He seemed to enjoy my poor state a lot.But I wasn't that kind of woman who would beg him to get my motive done! I'm Iris who knew how to claim her own things!! Giving him an indifferent glare, I hauled up from the cement floor before making my way towards the desk murmuring softly. He smirked over my nonchalant attitude and leaned back against his office chair leisurely. Plopping down on my office chair, my mind spontaneously scratched with numerous idea in order to impress this unscrupulous president.Unfortunately nothing came out until my eyes caught the sight of computer screen. A sudden thought flashed in my mind as I followed my own plan after stealing a glimpse of his face. Soon after another awkward hour had pa
~~ THEME SONG OF THIS CHAPTER ~~ <<< Not Afraid Anymore By Halsey >>> [[ IRIS'S POV ]] His hooded eyes were still on me as I struggled to keep my momentum nonchalant under his intoxicated gaze. As my task was done, I didn't want to spend a second with this scary man. His presence surprisingly troubled me a lot as if I would go drown under the hypnotising gaze. Tidying my lawn skirt uncomfortably, I waited for his permission to run out from here but unfortunately he didn't make a single noise. Before I could gather up the courage to ask for his permission, his cellphone rang loudly breaking the stiff atmosphere between us. His hooded eyes were finally pulled away from me before falling down over the flushed screen gently. Pressing on the receive button, he hauled up from his spot before drifting further away from me reaching near the trans
I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and unbuckled the seat belt before hopping down from the car. The driver went fast to pull out the door for his departing as he stepped down over the carpeted floor tapping on his black boots. My eyes kept staring at the logo " THE NEONS FOODS" for a few moments while my eyes observed the green rooftop filled with various flower trees. Subconsciously my lips formed into a soft smile without my notice. He walked ahead in front of me as I diverted my eyes to his retreating back. The owner of this well famous restaurant had changed. I found that was a middle aged man who appeared already waiting for us anxiously in the gate. He gave a long bow spotting us together as we entered in. I found the whole restaurant empty as I asked curiously snapping my head here and there, " Doesn't anyone come here?" He gave me a short reply
[[ XAVIER'S POV ]] I kept munching the juicy prawn chewing every inche of it as the taste felt exceptionally delicious today. I, Xavier Gray never used my hands in my entire life to eat anything especially in outdoor. The fact that her blissful face while devouring the prawns completely carried me away.Her beaming face had those purity which I searched inside a woman for long time.Thus I mechanically followed her step to enjoy the new experience. Surprisingly it was really damn good. As I glanced at her away subconsciously, I found her expression had turned baffled out while watching me eating just like her. I felt a little embarrassed and spoke coldly while rubbing my face awkwardly, " What?" She chuckled lightly before shifting her eyes greedily into the prawns and replied sarcastically, " Nothing. Did it feel good, Mr President.?" I hummed coldl

Daniel was already there on my behalf.I fixed my sleeves, readied myself mentally for the speech that I prepared mentally. Out of my subconsciousness, I was worried for the girl that I left sleeping inside my room.Hell, she is always in my mind!Hated to admit but it was true that I was awfully concerned about her wellbeing. Dismissing any thoughts related to her forcefully, I continued pacing for the reserved room that Daniel selected for our meeting.State Minister, Mr. Jordan Brooke stood up respectively at my presence and greeted with a soft smile that he had always on his face,
[ CHAPTER THEME SONG: Okay By Chase Atlantic ][ IRIS'S POV ]My head went blanked out after his words. Though I was throbbing in pain literally, it wasn't appropriate to receive a massage from the nation's biggest tycoon.I was going to deny his offer but something knotted inside my heart. Out of my volunteerism, I blurted out gripping the edge of his sky blue bedsheet," Okay! "His eyes relaxed a little. Reaching out to remove his brown watch, he came down to sit beside me. His gentle voice hummed in my eardrums," If I go hard, remember to notify me, okay?"I replied taking a gulp of my own saliva unnecessarily," O..

I was sitting inside his room, held a cup of coffee in my palm as I shot him awkward glances occasionally. He was busy in his laptop with his poker face. The place between his brows tightened occasionally and he appeared extra attentive.My phone beeped as the screen flashed on reminding me an urgent task that was yet to be done. I pressed my lips together before looking down at my phone.<Tonight>I wandered how would I manage to do within tonight. I had done plenty of missions in this life but no one gave me that amount of fear that I had around Xavier Gray, the youngest president of our country. Sometimes I wondered was it really fear or mutual respect or anyth
|| CHAPTER THEME SONG: Devilish By Chase Atlantic || [[ IRIS'S POV ]] Terror flashed from their eyes as they looked up at me manically as if I was a asylum sneaking out patient. They exchanged dumb glance between them before swallowing hard. I enjoyed the thrill, excitement of twisting this revolver between my fingers. Tearing my eyes away from them, I took a note of that woman who was curled on the floor. Her state was looking nothing but a street beggar as the fear was plastered evidently on her face. Upon hearing no response from them, the woman took the initiative to order at them, " Just listen to her." I chuckled in amusement. A moment back, I was a victim in their eyes but now the table had turned. Surely, this little plaything had the utmost power over anyone. I clapped my palms together in excitement, " It's settled then.

Most of the stalls had their own colorful shades which not only attracted buyers but also earned more attention from the passer-byers who only came to roam across the street. Assuming that some fancy shop could lift up her downcast mood, I was making my way towards the stalls. Midway before reaching the old lady seller, I questioned still maintaining my bossy voice, " What would you like to buy, Miss Young? I believe that you will find everything in here." I waited to hear her little unhappy voice but nothing came out. Curious about her dense silence attitude, I turned around only to be found that she wasn't there. My heart made a thump knot as I started to run my eyes impatiently on the stalls nearby. Failed to c
[[ XAVIER'S POV ]]I waited for her at the entrance.She obediently obeyed my order. I didn't know what gotten into me that I was mad after examining her voluptuous figure. The moment, I realised deep in my thoughts that how everyone will be ogling over her alluring body, I felt so bothered that I had to use my authority to order her foolishly to change her outfit.Shit! I'm being messed up!Thank god, she listened to me and now I am going to follow her to the beachside.Damn!After wasting few more times on her new outfit, she stepped out of the room putting on an uncomfortable expression. I scanned her from head to toe before smiling contentedly.She had chosen a long ladies top that had perfectly hidden her curves. Even though her skinny jeans was still seeming a little provocative but I didn't mind. At least she put down her i
[[ XAVIER'S POV ]] " Come on, buddy. It will be fun, trust me.", Daniel beamed while taking sip after sip from his lemonade. I remained calm and paid attention on the business magazine of the day. The weather was pretty cool today in surface not so warm or not so cold. After getting over with our breakfast, we headed for the poolside and sat under a colorful umbrella to enjoy this over friendly weather. But Daniel and others were giving ache in my head for an hour at least. They were planning to visit the seashore now. Okay! I didn't had problem with that but they were forcing me to come up with them. I wasn't not a man of fun that could possibly jump inside the waves like an immature child. My head was always filled up with political tricks or business stocks that made me quite isolated from this world. Before I could shut him up once again, Daniel screamed out lookin
[[ XAVIER'S POV ]]Daniel was laughing hysterically.His lips had turned moisty when he puked out the whole liquor from his filthy mouth. Grumbling against the couch, I watched him laughing so hard that his eyes were filled with tears as If I had shared a big blast joke.I frowned hard, unaware about what was so funny and stared firm at him.He watched me with mockery. After coughing one more time, he asked showing the disbelief era in his tone," Aaah! I'm sorry. That was a brilliant joke, Xavier. Pfft. Made my day indeed."He still thinks that I'm joking!I hauled up from the bed supporting on my elbows and asked gazing through his flashed eyes hardly," I am serious. I..I have really kissed a girl. "His mouth fell open in awe before shooting me those blank gaze as if he had just returned back from hell.He held his breathing for a while before asking me
[[ IRIS'S POV ]]Not knowing what did he mean honestly, my moans were still too low to be heard from outdoor. But the follow moment, he did something that I never imagined at all.One of his hand was holding my waist to maintain my balance as his other hand slipped under my clothes travelling upwards. I quivered more likely a fallen leaf when his cold fingertips brushed against my smooth skin.My moans turned a bit louder than before. I started gasping loudly until my thoughts turned completely mess. His kiss was still so damn domineering and was sucking my soul literally.His fingertips touched the edge of my lacy bra and struggled to slip inside but couldn't. It was tightly covering my assets as it was brand new one that I bought from super shop yesterday.Wasting no more time onto it, his cold palm crawled down and travelled behind my back impatie
