Arthur’s POV I watched in awe as a fight now ensued between Sebastian and kelvin, they got verbal, and it was an eyesore, yet I was more than willing to watch them, this provided an opportunity for me to look for a means to escape, but their noises were ear-piercing, so I had to painstakingly listen in a bid to get some information out of them. 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. I decided to worry about them later, as Iris was in danger and no one would be able to save her. Things are even worse as Kelvin, whom I thought loved her, could stoop as low as using her as bait against me, I didn’t regret coming after Iris after knowing his true intentions. Though Iris had been around me long enough to see things were, yet I fear that she was too petite and wasn’t built to go through this sort of hell. We all present in that room had dined with the devil himself and gotten our hands st
Iris's POVDays had passed by, and I still couldn't muster enough courage to face Arthur, there are times I'd get up and even go as far and unlocking my door with the aim of going straight to his room and clarifying things to him or even forcefully demand for an explanation, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. 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,
Arthur's POV Watching the men fight to death wasn't as interesting as I thought it would, but I seized the opportunity to try to find a way out, my arms ached as they had been tied behind me for a long time and I tried to stretch them, I realized that the rope that were used to tie my hands loosened a bit, this realization was the chance I had to escape, so I began to skillfully yet carefully try to get my hands out of the rope. Seeing that it would take ages before I'd wriggle my hands out of them and by then Knight would have murdered me or found out what I was trying to do, I decided to do it the old-fashioned way. Though it was a painful process, I had no choice, so I dislocated the bones of my thumb and bit my bottom lips in a bit not to yell out in pain, it was successfully dislocated, and I slipped it out of the rope. I tried to conceal my hitching breath and I put the bone back to its normal position and I tried it for the next finger, it was more painful than the first, b
Iris's POVI blushed as the events of the previous night replayed in my dreams and I smiled wish before opening my eyes, I took a moment to reflect on the happenings of the previous day and I couldn't believe my luck. Arthur was so passionate and loving, I was finally getting my dream life and my hand roamed freely on the bed in search for Arthur, but I could only feel bed linens, my eyes widened in shock and I sat up almost immediately.“Arthur.”I called out for him thrice but got no response, I stood up and checked the bathroom, but he wasn't there, my heart raced, and I almost burst into tears as it crossed my mind that he might have left me, a million questions flooded my head, didn't he believe me? Was all a dream? Did he deceive me into thinking he accepted me back? Does he not love me anymore? Am I now a burden to him? Has he been kidnapped again, or anything bad happened to him?Still confused about all that was happening, my door burst open to reveal a smiling Anna, I immedi
Iris POVIt all happened so fast and subtly. It gave no signs of any danger or warning. I felt like my heart was going to jump right out of my chest as I looked around. The entire living room was on fire. I had been trapped inside and the flames seemed to be getting bigger by the second. Everywhere I looked there was smoke and fire, and I knew that I had to get out of there quickly but I needed to inform my family so we could all escape together.I called for my step mother and siblings, but no one answered. I ran upstairs and looked through every room. No one was in their room. I could not help the tears that flowed. How could everyone leave so suddenly and without me? I was just in the kitchen a while back and everyone was in the Living room. Then, it hit me. They had all left me, including my own father.The heat was unbearable and the smoke was making it hard for me to breathe. Everywhere I looked, furniture was burning and the walls were crumbling around me. I could hear the crac
Arthur's POV I stepped out of my car, parked just outside the large, gated mansion. Rusev and Magmus, two of my loyal and most trusted bodyguards are right on my tail. They are the only ones I can trust to deliver on this mission. They stepped out of their car which was parked a few feet from mine and they walked up to me. "Remember to burn every single thing down to the ground," I instructed. They nodded as they began to get the tools from the trunk of the car. I could feel the energy inside me, burning. I took a deep breath, allowing myself to take in the sight before me. I could feel my rage swell as I thought of what this place represented. I looked at the Scott mansion; taking a long last look at it before it turned to ashes. Sebastian Scott murdered my parents in cold blood and he forced my sister and me to be orphans at a very early age. After so many years of searching for who had killed my parents, I found out it was Sabastian who had been hiding. That idiot sure knows how
Arthur's POVI slammed my fist against the steering wheel of my car, curses spewing from my mouth. Nothing ever goes as I planned. How could this have happened? I had spent weeks planning this operation, and yet there I was, staring at a pile of ashes, with not a single thing to show for it.I got to my mansion and I shouted at the men in the room, letting out all my rage and frustration. I cursed them inappropriately for their incompetence, for their lack of foresight, for their lack of loyalty.My voice was filled with venom as I bellowed out my orders. All of them knew that they would be in danger because I was in a bad mood and as such, they all maintained themselves. I vowed to make the Scott family pay, Sebastian especially, he would regret killing my parents; he would regret making my sister and me orphans.My voice grew quieter as I watched my men scurry away, a trail of fear in their wake. I had made my point, but it was not enough. I wanted more than just words. I wanted act
Iris POVThe bang in my head was quite deafening and I shifted on the bed to attend to whoever had entered the room. Arthur, as called by people around him, had given me lots of warnings, and giving an immediate answer was part of them.The presence I felt seemed familiar and I spoke up. "Yuri?" I called out to confirm if she was the one."Arthur," his hoarse flat voice rang through my head and I flinched at it. Although he saved me, he doesn't behave like he did. It was as if he had done something bad to save me or he was just so ruthless and never cared if he was scaring people or not."Hello," I greeted to avoid complaint. I blindly reached for my nightgown because I was not sure of the length of my nightwear.I heard him let out a grunt. "Don't worry, it's long enough," He told me and I could feel my cheeks heating up.I lowered my head when I felt he was already closer to me. I felt so embarrassed to blush in front of him."Have you gone for a medical test for your eyes before?"
