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 to hide for years but then, he was only learning. I have got him and now I am ready for revenge. I have been waiting for this day for a long time now.
I am here to kill him and his family. I won't let this slide especially when it comes to him. He had been hiding and closing this case whenever I found the clue but he never succeeded since I had found out myself. I would kill the motherfucker and his family. I will let them burn to ashes.
I walked up to the gates alongside my guards, looking around to make sure no one was watching. Though there was CCTV and the mansion was well secured but trust me, I am not new to this game. I know how to go about my way.
I reached out and gently opened the gate. We slipped inside, my heart racing, and we made our way up to the house. I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins as I walked up the steps, my plan of revenge firmly in my mind.
Once we reached the door, I gave a signal to my guards and on cue, Rusev took out a small container of gasoline and began to spread it around the mansion. I was not satisfied. I needed to do this by myself so I can deal with this hatred and rage burning inside me. I collected the gasoline from Rusev and he looked at me in awe.
"Boss," he called, solemnly, "this was not part of the plan."
"I gave you the orders and I can change them at any time!" I barked.
I then began to scout out the mansion. I needed to find the best places to pour the gasoline and to place the combustible materials. I also needed to find any weak points in the structure so that I can ensure the fire will spread quickly. I was careful to avoid any security cameras or guards and to make sure that no one sees me.
I poured it on the door, around the windows, and spread it around the mansion. I then threw the can onto the roof. I could feel the flames start to burn inside me and I know that soon all of this will be gone. I took out a lighter and flick it. Immediately, the flames began to spread. I watched as the fire quickly engulfed the mansion. The fire was so hot that I could feel the heat from where I was standing.
I took a few steps back, watching in awe as my plan of revenge was being carried out. I watched as the flames spread, consuming everything in its path.
In a matter of minutes, the mansion will be nothing more than a pile of ashes and smoke. I can feel the satisfaction grow within me. I wish I could see Sebastian's face and I hope he burned alongside the fire. The fire was beautiful. I admired it for a while before I gave my guards a signal for us to leave.
The Scott family would never be able to recover from this. My revenge has been served and I am content. I have finally achieved justice and I am satisfied.
"Boss," Magmus called, distracting me from my thoughts, "Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?" I asked him.
"Someone is crying for help in there. I can hear the scream," Rusev replied.
I tried to listen carefully and when I heard it, I was irritated. Of course, they would cry for help but I'm not ready to pity any one of them but then again., if the house had been burnt to ashes then every one of them was meant to be dead by now, does that mean someone was saved?
"How is there a survivor?" I asked my guards. At this point, I was already going crazy. The screams and cries for help grew louder.
"Rusev, Magmus. Put off the fire and check for any survivors," I ordered them instantly.
Quickly, they brought in extinguishers and within a few minutes, the fire was already off.
They both scrambled into the mansion and I waited patiently till they got out. Yes, I was ready to wait to kill those who caused me pain so it wasn't much of anything.
Some moment, I heard my name being called and as I raised my head, I saw my men carrying a girl with them. She was alive, how?
"Boss, we found this girl inside and she was the only survivor," Magmus said as they helped the girl outside.
She was sobbing as Rusev and Magmus dropped her on the floor.
Rusev then gave me a shocking news, "She kept saying that her parents escaped."
"What?!" I cringed out in anger, taking some steps backward? "They did what?!"
"I have no idea, Boss," He told me.
I cleared my throat and looked at the girl crying in front. "Young lady, What happened?" I asked her.
"Please, sir, my family ran away but they left me and now I can no longer see," She continued crying.
"Who is your father?" I asked her with all authority. I could feel my rage and hatred coming back in a flash.
"Sebastian Scott," She answered, tears still flowing from her eyes.
"Oh yeah and you're his daughter!" I snapped and the poor girl nodded her head, I could see her shiver in fright. I was furious. How could Sabastian run away and leave his daughter? What was he plotting? There was something wrong. There is something I don't know.
"I don't know how the house got burnt but they left me, they ran away and left me behind after asking me to cook for them," the girl spoke up and my gaze landed on her.
What was she trying to say? "Is Sebastian not your father?"
She sniffled on her tears and used the back of her palm to clean her eyes, "He is," she replied.
Everything was not making sense to me any longer and I felt there was something more to all of this. "Magmus, round her and take her to the car," I commanded.
I looked at the frail-looking girl before me. Her eyes were wide open. Although she was just in a burning inferno for minutes, she still looked cute. She had ocean blue eyes and her hair had highlights of silver in her chestnut brown hair. But something seemed wrong, she was acting blind.
"Can't you see?" I regretted asking her that question because she broke down into heavy tears that almost got me off her feet. I turned to Magnus and arched my eyebrows at him. "What wrong with her?"
"She's blind," he answered and confirmed my curiosity. She is blind.
"What is your name?" I asked her but got no answer from her which I didn't take lightly. I hate being given silent treatment, it freaks me out. "What's your name!" I yelled.
I was sure my voice took a toll on her and she raised her innocent face at me looking all perplexed that I had yelled at her. What else was she expecting? I wanted her dead but she was here thinking I was good to her, never!
"I'm… Iris," she sputtered, her lips trembling from battling sobs.
"Iris, what an irony," I muttered to myself.
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?"
Iris POV "Let's go in. " Arthur said again but this time, I could feel that it wasn't Arthur holding my hand anymore and that strangely sour my mood. I walked alongside the person that held my hand while Arthur walked behind us, muttering something to the man in a code that I did not understand but I wasn't ready to understand either as I already had a lot to think about and I did not want more. "Can I really forget about that day?" Was the question that kept troubling my mind and I was frustrated. "Leave the room, I want to speak with her. " I heard Arthur said to the men in the room and I wondered why. I was helped to a seat before the men left the room and I heard the sound of a seat being pulled before Arthur sat across me. He was so close to me that I could clearly perceived his scent and it made my inside churn with weirdly. As a girl that never had intimacy with any guy before, I expected myself to be shy and scared but... It was the complete opposite!
Iris povI didn't know what I was thinking when I interlocked my lips with his own. All I knew was that it felt so right that every other thought was shot out of my mind like a speeding bullet and my only focus was on his plump juicy lips wrapping around my own.Since I had never been with a man before, the closest I ever came to kissing was when my lips would press against a pillow imagining what it would be like to actually kiss.And now it had now been strapped into the wangon of reality and it was far more amazing than I could have ever imagined.But then it was all interrupted when suddenly there is a hard knock on the door that sent both of us jumping away from each other I thought that I was going to fall off the bed and suddenly I felt his wrist and my hand holding me back but this time I wasn't landing on his chest again and I ached to feel the warmth that was there.Even if he didn't bring me back to his chest I noticed that you didn't stick his hand over him as he conversed
Arthur POV"Ugh!" I groaned in frustration as I sent my pillow flying across the room, bitterness rising up my throat and coming through my lips as hardened curses against that bastard that called himself Sebastian Scott. I still remember those bitter cold nights, taking care of my sister and sometimes my small body as a child and I would shake so hard watching my hatred for the man mount every single day. Despite all my careful planning he had still escaped. I sat on my king size bed and ran my fingers through my hair, trying to calm myself down. He wasn't going to escape not anymore but for now I needed to be a little bit patient. After all, I had waited my entire life to end this man…just a little bit longer. As I began to steady I closed my eyes, pulling in to make my entire body relax and the moment I closed my eyes the only issue of a frail body with sharp blue eyes penetrated my thoughts and I immediately opened my house.Darn it!How can a bastard like Sebastian even have
Iris POV I was surprised when he allowed me to speak, now I had expected him to just cut me off but to my great surprise he actually seemed inquisitive about what u had to say. "Well, what is it?...get it out!"He snapped in such a cold voice that I felt shivers shoot all over my body instantly and I almost froze up in that instant.Recovering from how he yelled at me, I finally managed to speak."I was thinking that…maybe you can call him and tell him that I'm trying to elope…or something like that…"In my head this plan had sounded so cool but now that I was saying it to this cold man I suddenly felt so stupid and he didn't fail to tell me just how stupid I sounded."Did you really come all the way here…to say THAT?!"If his voice had rose by a single decible then I would have leaped off my seat in an instant because of the mere shock of it, did he have to be this way?I just gave a suggestion if it was no good then he could just tell me instantly but instead he would rather make
Iris POV"...You are so disgusting…no man in his right mind would ever want to be with you…" My father said this to me heatedly one Sunday afternoon my offence was that I had tripped and shattered a glass of wine that I was supposed to delivered during dinner. I thought that my short miserable life was going to come to an end on that day as my father's eyes were burning with fury and anger while the rest of my step family were egging him on. An apology tried to escape my lips but before I could even manage to see that he immediately slapped me across the face and began to pour curses on me one after another as if it was a heavy rain that was beaten down against me.He told me that I would never be useful in life and when he felt that he had run out of insults he began to say things that he didn't even make any sense at all including the one that no man will ever want me. I was used to soaking my pillow with tears but that night I couldn't even cry pain was so much that tears alo
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'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
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 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 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
Arthur's POV“Now, I might just spare your life if you tell me where the secret treasure is" Kelvin said after a round of punching me wherever his fists landed.I looked up at him and my face broke into a smile.“Is that all you got? 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
Kelvin's POVThe thought of being on the run and having to go into hiding never crossed my mind when I mapped perfectly out all of my plans, everything was going smoothly so smoothly that I praised myself, Sebastian also voiced out his respect for me as I had managed not to only fool Iris but Arthur as well but little did I know that I was fooling myself.I almost this close to getting away with everything and couldn't believe my eyes when Arthur suddenly barged in and intercepted my plans, I had to flee for my dear life because no one knew Arthur better than I did. He wouldn't blink an eye to trade everything he owns for the one he cares for, but once his mind is made to destroy someone, he wouldn't stop until he did. The look on his face had shown that he was determined to kill me.Iris would have definitely known about me since Arthur took her with him, besides; there was no way he could take Iris with me as I needed to save myself first.Finding a place to stay wasn't easy as Art
Arthur's POV My plans were already in place and I began to give orders to my men, I couldn't wait to get to Kelvin and shove my gun down his ass. The tracker showed his location was in another state, and it was a long ride down there. All through I repeated the line of action and expected results to my men and contemplated calling for backup, but I didn't want to cause a huge scene or attack unnecessary attention to myself. Kelvin was smart and would try to find his way out of this, but I smirked knowing that I was smarter and a step before him, I cocked my gun and ensured I carried enough ammo with me. We got to the state hours later and headed straight to the location the tracker was pointing at, I stopped my men midway and suggested we take different routes and arrive there ar the same time, in case Kelvin had already positioned his men to watch over any suspicious activity ongoing. I prepared myself for the worse as we approached our destination, the place looked shabby from
Arthur's POVMy heart broke the moment I saw Iris's pregnancy report, words couldn't express and quantify how shattered I was, she made things worse by denying the claims which infuriated me. I love Iris, she means the entire world to me and I have come this far just for her sake, when she left me, and I was shattered I still held on hoping that she'd realize her mistake and come back to me.When she made plans to get married to Kelvin, the urge to free her from the clutches of his lie and clear her misconception about me kept me going, and I had sleepless nights trying to find tangible evidence. When I brought her back with me, and she fainted I was scared, scared I would lose her once more but seeing that she was pregnant? I was scared as well, scared I'd lose my sanity.I didn't know how to react to the hurt and kept mute even when she tried to strike a conversation with me, I was losing my mind, and it was the love that I had for her that held me back from breaking down but when
