Arthur POV "Did I go too far?" I asked myself as I sat on my bed and my mind quickly replayed something that had happened just a moment ago, did I really go too far? No I didn’t She was becoming far too cosy with me for no reason I had to remind her that she was just the daughter of my enemy and I despise her just as much as I despised the man which lungs she came from, it didn't matter to me jackshit if she was innocent so what, I was innocent to so was my sister and yet that bastard Sebastian Scott ended our parents lives heartlessly. Infact my revenge will not be complete if I didn't scare her the same way my sister and I were scarred 15 years ago. Compared to the way we suffered she had not experienced anything at all, some nights both me and my sister will chat and make up silly stories because there was nothing to eat in fact that was most nights but sometimes it got so bad that it felt as if our internal organs were getting feasted on because of the hunger that we were
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. Maybe I should cry out for help? even my voice just cracked before I could speak and so I just lay there maybe it was better this wa
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 After that accident when I was almost killed by one of his former business partners, Arthur did not want me to be leaving the room and he had some bodyguards around me from time to time in case I wanted to go outside. I felt incredibly suffocated I always knew that I was being watched by his men I could feel it even though I could not to look back and there and return their intense gaze is what it felt like it was burning the side of my body that they were looking at and it was always something that they never stop doing as if it was a daily routine that the plan for before they will even wake up at all. He was mostly being cold and distant as he always was before and after the incidents that happened with him wanting me to be desperately hateful of him I decided to keep my distance. I was wondering how long he was going to continue this routine of him ignoring me while keeping his men to watch me 24/7 and then it was finally over. He stepped into my room one day without
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
Arthur POVOh, no she's hot.I had been subconsciously battling with my attraction to this person from the moment that she was dragged out of that burning edifice and when I first saw her looking all dolled up I was almost ready to lose that battle immediately if it wasn't for the fact that someone else was in the bedroom with us. 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
Arthur POVI told myself that I would have a sip or two before I knew it already had two glasses. Well that was my fault. I wasn't usually such a lightweight when it comes to drinking.But for some reason tonight things were different and as the music continued to roll it took me a while to realize that I had another woman in my armsThe lady in question had her eyes glittering and she had a smile that went from one ear to another I found myself looking down at her before I paused in the midst of the music stepping back and breaking her hold on me her eyes went wide with shock surprise then she tried to approach me and I took another step back bumping into another pair that had been dancing she became more bewildered by my reaction."Any problem sweetheart?"“I will pretend as if I didn’t hear you address me as sweetheart” .“Where is Iris?” I demanded to know from the woman who Crowley shrugged her shoulders helplessly.“Who is Iris?” She asked and I felt my fingers running throu
Iris POV I really have to stay on my toes when it comes to this man. One second I was complaining at the top of my voice and then the next his lips were embracing mine, and I wasn’t stopping him.Despite knowing he was toying with my feelings I deepened the kiss holding his face this time to around.He was fierce and intense with passion as if he had wanted to do this for so long and my body was responding to his every touch.His hands roamed around my body reaching my boobs and squeezing it making me moan in pleasure.Just when I thought we were going deeper he pulled away I was breathless.For a moment I could not even remember what I had been doing before that and when I finally did and realized how quickly I had shut up my face went red with embarrassment.This was our second kiss and it was better than the first.I tried imagining what he would be thinking but knowing Arthur, he wouldn’t say anything about the kiss. I found my fingers running through my messed up hair, a feelin
