Iris POV

Slowly but steadily I began to regain my consciousness, it was a gradual process but eventually I was becoming aware of myself again the first thing I felt was the ache around my entire body and this time I only had to search for my sight for a couple of seconds before the memory that I could no longer see came back again crossing my heart wickedly like a sharp knife.

I had lived my entire life being able to see colors and the world around me and all of a sudden that ability was snuffed away. I was still getting used to it, but maybe I will never really get used to it but just come to a forceful acceptance that it was gone forever.

Soon I remembered that my entire body aches and I couldn't even move a single inch because of how much it hurts. How long had that flight of stairs been? I couldn't see but I felt like I had fallen quite a lot.

    Iris POV I didn't think that I would come into a situation when I would have to agree with this man so much and I would have to admit that I have finally fallen into that because indeed we really needed to talk. "What kind of business are you doing that your former partners come with a gun after you?" I asked him genuinely curious and afraid for the answer that I am going to get. There was silence as if I hadn’t asked any question. “I will be the one asking questions and you respond not the other way round” he said breaking the silence and making me furious. I put my arms across one another still staring into space I wish that I could see him so I could glare him just as much as I wanted to but I had a feeling that he was looking at my face so he would probably realize just how serious I was from my facial expressions alone or at least I hope so. "Okay since I don't get to ask any questions go ahead and interrogate me I just hope that I am able to tell you the correct things,"

    Iris POV "This is Linda, she will be your personal makeup artist and stylist for tonight's party…" My jaw instantly fell to the floor when I opened my bedroom door and the first thing I heard was that coming from Arthur and then I heard a friendly hello coming from the woman that he had introduced to me. I had not imagined that he would go as far as hiring a makeup artist and stylist just because of me. I didn't know if I was supposed to feel flattered or worried. My mind didn't get a chance to conclude on either in emotion before the two of them stormed in together. He also began to speak to Linda as if I was not even physically present in the room. "I want her to look as presentable as possible like a decent person so that nobody would even think for a second that she is of a low class.." Now I was almost tempted to wave my hand in order to remind the two of them that I was still in the room the makeup artist Linda acknowledged me but as for this jerk he kept speaking as if t

That didn't mean that I was forcefully going to have my way with her, from what I have seen, I will just have to sway her with my charm and then.. I almost gave myself a heavy slap across the face as these thoughts began to run through my mind and at the same time I was keeping a poker expression trying to ignore her so badly by focusing on the makeup artist who was not helping the situation by constantly referring to her again. That was because I wanted to remain in the embrace of denial as long as possible because I couldn't imagine myself being attracted to the spawn of Sebastian Scott I felt like I was betrayed my parents for even being attracted t

Most importantly; I was scared and confused at the same time, I wasn't pregnant with Kelvin because I didn't sleep with him and I didn't know how old the baby is so I could confirm my doubts about the paternity.Given the circumstances and happenings around me lately and the better part of my life, things aren't always as they seem, there might be a mix-up somewhere or this might be a set-up but my morning sickness and constant nausea coupled with the fact that I haven't seen my period for months now confirmed that I was pregnant.I finally ate after starving for a few days, but I didn't step my foot out of the room and only allowed the maids to drop it by the doorstep,

There was no way I would leave the place easily or in one piece unless I got rid of them first, but that seemed like an impossible task.

What a disappointment”He bent down and gave me an upper to my jaws. My brain rattled around in my skull and I suddenly felt a sharp pain building up in my thoracic region. I knew I wouldn't last much longer, but still, I would rather die than just give out the location of my family heirloom.“We knew you will be a hard nut to crack, and as such, we have prepared various gifts for you.”Kelvin moved to the table and picked up the landline, punched a number and put it to his ear. The phone beeped, then it got picked up on the other side. Kelvin paused and replied.“Bring the toys now, let's watch him play”I knew I just got into bigger trouble, but I was more prepared to die than give out the location.The doors opened and a man with a Russian build came i

    Arthur's POVI could see Kelvin, then Sebastian and Knight. No way, I was probably seeing visions. Maybe the guys had tampered with my brain, perhaps I was hallucinating. Kelvin came forward and poured a glass of ice-cold water on me. It chilled to the spine. I was certain I heard footsteps, but they were all here?“Wakey wakey”Sebastian and Knight walked towards the chair where I was strapped with leather belts like a feral animal.“Oh forgive my ungentlemanly attitude, allow me to perform a little introduction here” he said mockingly.“Sebastian, Dad meet Arthur, the prodigal son”The word dad suddenly sounded differently to his ears.“Arthur, meet Sebastian and meet my father; Knight. I've heard you guys have gotten acquainted”.I was shocked, and could feel bitterness at the same time. I felt adrenaline rushing through me, and I could feel anger and disgust boiling in my bloodstream. I literally felt like killing the trio; like tearing them to pieces and feeding them to street do

The tracker showed his location was in another state, and it was a long ride down there.
