I won’t lose you, Iris

Arthur's POV

“You!” I was on my way charging towards Sebastian when Iris yelled, getting in my way with tears in her eyes.

She was standing right in front of her dad with her hands wide open to block me from reaching her father. She was trying to protect him from me. However, my fury burned on. He was the reason I was in the mess. His daughter, whom I was in love with, was now protecting the man who was my greatest enemy.

“Stop!”

Her tears were trailing like never, and she stared at me with pain in her eyes. Her eyes that were red were already swollen, and her tears dampened her lashes, and cheeks.

Not only that, but she was as red as a tomato, and seeing her like that broke me into a thousand pieces.

She yelled, asking me to stop, and just like that, I stopped in my tracks, my gaze which was once like that of an angry man, calmed immediately after seeing her tears. Iris didn't deserve all this, she was too pure to go through all this suffering, just because her father was a monster!
