Iris: The Mafia’s Bride Fame
Iris' POV My eyes widened when I saw myself on TV. “Oh my gosh, I'm on TV, I'm on TV!” I screamed, turning up the volume of the TV. I wish Arthur was here, so he could see this. Knowing fully well he would be proud of me. I picked up the remote control of the TV to increase the volume, so I could hear what they were saying about me. “Iris, a beautiful name for a wonderful woman. She is the new endorser of the biggest jewelry company in the country–” My phone had been buzzing for a while, so I decided to finally take up the call. My eyes widened when I saw it was Anna, am sure she must have seen the news. I picked the call, placing the phone on my ears, she was more excited than I thought. "You're a famous baby girl!” She screamed, I only giggle at her words, she was known as the jolly of us all, so she was bound to make such a noise. She told me how proud of me she was, and that many interviewers are booking to interview with me. “Really?” I was shocked at that news beca

Arthur's POV I groaned, my keys making a jingling sound as I moved, with Iris following behind me. She was excited, it could be seen in how she smiled behind me. I didn't have any choice, I knew that if I didn't agree to go shopping, she would not have let me be. She would have nagged about it, all day, without letting me be. I opened the front seat of the car, and when she entered, she smiled, while I frowned, going to sit in the driver's seat. “At least change the expression on your face, you looked like you fought with a bear,” she teased, still smiling at me. I could only scoff, buckling my seatbelt as I got ready to start the car. I asked her where we were to go, which made her snap her head towards me. She was still wearing her contagious smile. She answered, telling me she wanted to go to the mall. I furrowed my brows, creased lines showing how confused I was at this moment. She had told me she wanted to go shopping, and now, she was talking about the mall? I thought

Iris' POV “Iris, I've got to take this call,” Arthur said, his eyes fixed on me, waiting for a response, so he could leave me in line.Since he said it was a quick call, I nodded, but just seconds after he stepped away from me, I got the idea that he wasn't going to be back on time, and I was worried that I was going to keep the other customers waiting because I wasn't with any cash. Besides, all the things I picked up would sum up to a significant amount, which I wouldn't be able to pay.I could still see Arthur, and even when I tried calling his name severally, he didn't turn back to look at me, he was in a rush. I kept shut because calling his name only brought my attention to myself.The eyes of people glared at me, wondering if I was mentally derailed.I gulped down the nervousness, I was feeling due to the eyes of the people who were staring at me. They seemed really mean, and impatient, I would rather not be the one who would have to face them.I sighed, my foot tapping the g

Arthur's POVMy eyes darted around in panic. I went back to the woman on the counter. I could see the things that Iris bought, however, there was no sign of Iris.“Ma'am, are you certain?” This was the millionth time I was asking her this question. I had been asking her if she had seen the owner of the things by the counter, but she only told me the girl told her she was going to find her partner, who went to make a call somewhere.I nodded to her words, asking her for any extra details, but no matter how hard I tried, it looked like she wasn't going to bulge because she really knew nothing about what happened to Iris. If she knew, she would have accepted the money he wanted to give to her if only she answered some of his questions.I asked her what way she thought Iris might have gone, but she couldn't tell because, according to her, she was not concentrating on Iris at that time.This seemed like a game to me, but I did care. I was going to raid the whole store if I had to! My eyes

Iris' POVI winced, blinking severally as I tried to open my eyes, which were really still heavy. “Ugh, what happened?” I asked no one. In particular, finally opening my eyes. I didn't know where I was, and the room looked quite different.There were so many questions I asked myself as my eyes darted around in panic. The room looked so cute, and I thought maybe Arthur was the one who was playing a prank on me. I didn't even want to think anything else because it was a male hand that covered my hands and nose.The room was decorated with nice accessories, the paint used to color the room was pink and blue, giving it that girly princess look.I thought about why he did that, and the only thing I could think about was that he wanted to surprise me.I was glad in my heart, excitedly raising myself from the bed with a happy face. However, I stiffened once I saw who was there.My face was gazing at the face of someone who I never thought I was going to see again.I gulped down the nervousn

Iris' POV My hand shook violently when I saw my father kneel in front of me. My heart was pounding loudly in my chest, and I gulped down the fear I felt. I feared my dad kneeling in front of me and asking for forgiveness, it was just something that he could never do. He was a man who would never do such, especially to me. “Iris, you have to believe me, I'm sorry,” He told me with a sorry look on his face. However, I still wasn't convinced. I knew my father very well, he doesn't go back to those he isn't concerned about except he needs something from them, that was why she was afraid. He had been pleading with me to forgive him, so I could let him back into my life again, and I wasn't going to let that happen. He left me to die, he didn't even care to look back, and now he was asking for forgiveness? I looked away from him, staring at the wall because I felt pain just by looking at his face. If I had died, would he have come to ask for my forgiveness? He assured me that he di

Iris' POV“What?!” I listened to what my dad had to say, my eyes widened in shock, and I couldn't help but look at my dad in disgust. I didn't know that he was this desperate for my attention to formulate a lie about Arthur.Furthermore, I hadn't known Arthur for a very long time, but I knew him to some extent. He was nice, sweet and minded all the troubles I had with him, despite the times I got drunk. He took care of me like his own, and never scolded me. Not only that, but he wasn't heartless! He was so caring, too caring to be a Mafia. If he was a mafia, he was supposed to be heartless, and was supposed to make people suffer, but Arthur wasn't like that.I growled at my father, yelling and telling him that he was too shameless to accuse someone else of being something as dangerous as that.Why doesn't he want me to be with Arthur?

Iris: The Mafia’s Bride Danger
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,

Iris: The Mafia’s Bride Choose one
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
Iris: The Mafia’s Bride Why did you do this?
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

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.
