Arthur’s POV.My right hand was on the knob of my room door as I twisted it and as well shut the door. I just escaped Iris’s questions because I had no answer to them but there was no way she was going to let me go without me answering her. Well, I found a way out of ignoring it.Lately I’ve not been concentrating on my work and searching for Sebastian.I can’t wait to get my hands on him, I am going to make him suffer and pay for all the pain he has caused me.The only problem was that I didn’t know what to do with Iris, this is the first time I’ve hesitated to torture someone.Maybe it was because, she was blind.Soon my thoughts were interrupted by the buzzing sound of my phone. My right hand immediately proceeded to slide into my pocket as I tried to locate the phone, soon I had the phone in my possession.I faced it to my face as I soon saw the person who had called me. It was my younger sister, Anna.“What did she want from me this time?” I questioned myself.It’s been long we
Iris POV I was surprised at Arthur’s silence. Well, to be sincere I did not anticipate anything different after what he had done in my room a few hours ago but at least. “Was it maybe because of what I said earlier?” I interrogated myself trying to figure out what exactly I had done or what offense I had committed. One minute he is friendly, the other minute he's strict. He was confusing me and the worsen i couldn't even detect his face to know if he was angry. I proceeded to recall all I uttered to him. Was it because I asked him if he was jealous? It can not be. Why would he be mad at me because of that? No, and so I shook that thought off. Still in the pool of my memories, trying to recall what I did or said to have caused him to behave this rule towards me. I even tried to put myself in his shoes, I tried to be Arthur so I could maybe comprehend what I had done but still to no avail. Soon, I concluded that Arthur was a different person entirely and I could just put an end
Iris POVThe soft knock on the bedroom door signaled the arrival of the maid. I smiled, anticipating her familiar presence and the comforting routine that followed. With each passing day, our bond grew stronger, and I found solace in her gentle assistance."Good morning Iris," the maid greeted with warmth in her voice as she entered the room. "Shall we begin our day?"I nodded, my fingertips brushing against the edge of the bed as I swung my legs over the side. The maid guided me to stand and led me to the en-suite bathroom. As the water cascaded down in the shower, I let the warmth envelop me, washing away the remnants of sleep."How are you feeling today Iris?" the maid asked, her voice filled with genuine concern.I paused, considering her question. "I feel a sense of anticipation," I replied. "There's something about today that feels different."The maid's voice carried a hint of curiosity. "Is there a particular reason, ma'am?"I smiled, even though she couldn't see it. "The day
Iris POVFear, tension, and nervousness imbibed in me as the doctor explained to me how vital the situation was and that it could even cause me physiological and emotional damage but still, what had to be done must be done.My hands became extra sweaty and I could feel my heart racing.I stood up in fear and asked Arthur to take me away but instead, he held me back. I heard a chair move backwards but I could not tell if it was the doctor or Arthur who stood up.My confusion was soon sorted out as I felt warm breaths close to my nose. It could only be Arthur, no one else. My heart raced the fastest this time around.“Why was he this close to me?” I questioned myself.These days he just started a new behavior towards me and now he’s coming so close all of a sudden. “Or does he by anyway feel pity for me,no it can’t be”. “But why then was he acting as if he cared about me or about how I felt after he forcefully brought me here?” I soliloquized, trying to comprehend Arthur’s current att
Iris Pov.Once again I felt the sicking atmosphere of the hospital office in which I was seated. It felt as if the chairs in the doctor’s office had spikes in them because I felt extremely uncomfortable sitting in them and could not wait to take my leave.Weird silence filled the four corners of the hospital office once again, I could feel the doctor's eyes all around me and Arthur’s hands still entangled with mine.I sat quietly, still trying to comprehend all that had happened earlier with Arthur.The mixed emotions Arthur showered on me caused me to question my reasoning faculty. I tried to wrap my head around different ideas, suggestions, and behaviors Arthur signaled to me.Initially, he brought me to this goddamn hospital without my approval and then he scolded me and remained me in my state of captivity; How I was supposed to obey him and his meaningless opinions were to him because his decisions were final.When I thought he was one cruel being, he went on to show me some acts
Arthur POVIris hasn’t spoken much after the news, unlike the talkative person I knew, she was quiet and calm.I took another glance at her for the second time, seemed like she was thinking about what the doctor had said.“Iris” I called out but she didn’t reply.I decided to leave her to think about the decision she had just made, This happens to be one of the most difficult decisions in life and aBut I was going to make sure the operation was held by the best doctors in the world.Somehow I felt bad for her, she was innocent and it was all my fault she was blind.I wished I hadn’t attempted to burn the house, she was so innocent and didn’t deserve to pay for her father’s sins.But on a second thought, there was no reason to be guilty, her father had killed my parents without thinking twice.He had killed them in front of me, not caring if I watched or not.I can vividly remember how he shot my parents on their forehead and left.One thing that surprised me was the way the case was
Kelvin’s POVI took a deep breath as I stepped into the mansion, there were tons of maids and guards working relentlessly in there, and it was too huge for me to start roaming around and guessing where Arthur or Iris was, so I simply approached the nearest maid.“Would you be kind enough to point to me the direction of Arthur's room”? I asked politely.Her eyes widened in shocked, and she curtsied, I could understand her reaction as Arthur was a big shot here, as the owner and their employer they had to accord respect to him, she left what she was doing immediately.“Follow me.” She politely requested.I nodded my head and followed her. We walked past several rooms, ascended the stairs and took a left turn twice before we arrived at a huge room. She knocked gently on the door, and it was opened from the inside. She bowed her head and excused herself. I understood what she meant and took a deep breath right before I stepped in.The house was nothing like what I knew before.The interio
**Arthur’s POV**I walked into the mansion and saw a car parked outside, it looked familiar, but I just couldn’t recall.“Welcome sir” The guard greeted as I came down from my car.“Do I have any visitors?” I asked.“Yes, Sir Kelvin is here” He replied and I nodded before entering the house.Kelvin was not a visitor in my house, we were once leaving in the same mansion, but as time went on I wanted my space and privacy.I decided to check on iris before taking my shower.I knocked but got no reply, I entered the room and it was empty.“Where has she wandered to?” I questioned myself before calling out iris maid.“Where is Iris?” I asked.“She is in the garden talking to Sir Kelvin” The maid replied.“Kelvin?” I asked and she nodded.Immediately, I walked out of the room and headed to the garden.On getting to the garden, Iris's laughter was all I heard, I have never seen her laugh this hard and to worsen it, Kelvin was holding her hands.They haven’t noticed my presence yet, and I use
