But how could I ever make up for the pain I had caused her?For now, all I could do was sit there, surrounded by laughter and happiness, feeling like an outsider in my own life."So, Iris, how's everything in college?" Elijah asked, leaning forward with interest."Good," she replied, sipping her jui
A chuckle left my lips. The thought of Hudson convincing everyone that Iris and I were just friends made it even funnier."What happened, Ace?" she murmured, her voice a gentle caress.Watching as a wide yawn escaped her, she leaned her head against my lap.My fingers found their way to softly stro
She pushed me down onto the bed abruptly, making me amuse.'Mini,' I repeated, trying to calm the situation."No! Don't mini me," she huffed, her voice laced with determination as she sat on top of me and gripped my jaw tightly. "I asked you something," she said, her gaze unwavering."I am sorry,"
"Where you doing the devil's ritual?" he asked, raised his eyebrows.He meant make-out."Cause your appearance looks like that" he added, straightened my collar.I glanced down at my disheveled appearance, cursing myself under my breath.My black shirt was half tucked inside and half outside, messy
Tilting my head, I deepened the kiss, feeling her respond with equal passion, her face tilting upward as our lips melded together.When we finally pulled back, our breaths were still intertwined, the closeness between us palpable."I saw your family photo," she murmured all of a sudden, her words ca
"You look happy," she remarked, settling down beside him with a small smile playing on her lips."Yeah" he replied in a monotone."What's the reason?" she inquired, her curiosity evident.."She doesn't have a boyfriend," he murmured."Oh," she responded, a touch of irritation coloring her voice."Yo
I stood up and started to walk away from the cafeteria. Only a minute was left until lunch was over.My eyes widened as a group of girls stood in front of me. Ohkkkay.."Hello," I smiled, awkwardly."Iris, Iris," I heard her voice. "Hii, Stella," I said.Her eyes looked at me from top to bottom, a
Iris POV:The class groaned happily when the teacher finally left. For the past two hours, the teacher had not stopped teaching.I glanced at the clock and saw it was 4 in the evening. I am addicted to Ace. Especially the things he does. I didn't know I can be this dirty too."Is something going
Why did I only notice it now?Ace chuckled—low, knowing."Do your work like a good whore," he murmured, his tone silky but laced with steel. "And show me your devotion, brat."He leaned back, and the pressure of his hands, which had been a constricting comfort around my body, vanished. Like a snake
I blinked, my breath hitching, frustration curling inside my chest."Please…" The whisper left me before I could stop it, before I could hold onto my pride. My head dipped down, shame curling my shoulders inward as I bit down on my lower lip. "Just one kiss. Even a peck."Ace clicked his tongue, th
“Don’t expect me to treat you like a good girl till I believe you’re sorry, Iris,” he murmured, his tone dark and taunting.Before I could process it, his thumb shoved past my lips, forcing them apart. My eyes flew wide, a muffled “Hmph” escaping as my hands shot up, fingers digging into his knees
“Sit on your knees.”…What?I froze.My smile slipped, and a soft “Huh?” escaped me before I could stop it.The warmth I’d felt a second ago twisted into something heavier, sharper, and I blinked at him, caught off guard.“You heard me, my sweet whore,” he said, leaning back with a smirk that stretc
I clenched my fists, inhaling sharply before narrowing my eyes at him.This man.This man would kill me.My fingers tugged at my top, pulling it back down as I tried to piece together what just happened.Why did he stop?I gulped, my throat dry, my body still traitorously warm. Ace smirked, draping
I sputtered, fisting my hands.“Boss,” Joy’s voice cut through my humiliation.“Wouldn’t Hudson sir be angry about what you just did to his sister? Should we, uh, step outside?”Ace didn’t even spare her a glance.“No. Stay here and do your work. I’ll do mine,” he said smoothly, like he hadn’t just
And he had the audacity to ignore me?He didn’t even say thank you!I glared at his back.“Boss,” I said, layering my voice with a little too much sweetness. “It’s past your lunch time. You should eat.”Nothing.Not even a glance.Ace continued flipping through his damn papers like I was invisible.
But it was probably not the sparkly, glittering fairy kind. More like the I-make-people-disappear kind.Joy. That’s her name.Wooow.A woman named Joy working at a place where she literally brings pain. “Oh yeah!! I remember now,” Joy exclaimed, her face lighting up like I was her long-lost best f
Damn it, Iris. Play it cool!His gaze didn’t waver. “May I know what you are doing here?”I cleared my throat. “Uh… just… passing by?”He arched a brow.I let out a nervous laugh and gestured to the air. “You know, just… admiring the architecture?”Then, he tilted his head toward the slightly open d
