Arthur's POVI listened to Iris, feeling sorry about everything she had gone through. She was right, her father had caused her so much pain, and thankfully, because of me, she had forgotten most of those painful moments.I didn't know a father could be heartless to his daughter until I found Iris, in the midst of the fire that day. It was a good thing she wasn't traumatized by the event because I didn't know she could survive. The day played in my memory like a looped tape, and I couldn't help but say,“I'm sorry about all you passed through, and I'm glad you trust me to take good care of you.”She smiled when she heard his words. It was good to know that he wasn't angry at her anymore for drinking.“Don't you have anything else you want to tell me?” I asked, staring at her with lots of disappointment in my heart. I had thought today was the day she was going to tell me her feelings, and it wasn't clear to me why she just didn't want to.“No, nothing. Is anything the matter?” She as
Arthur's POV“Hello Arthur?” Kelvin called over the phone when he had finally picked up the call.“Hello Kelvin, how are you?” I inquired, my eyes darting around to make sure no one was listening in on my conversations.“I'm fine, is there anything you need?” This was why I liked Kelvin. He was a reliable person who I could call on any day to do something for me.“Yes, I have something important to discuss with you, but we can't talk over the phone, we need to be in someplace private. I suggest we meet at Casio.” “About Sebastian?” He asked to be sure.“Yes, about that bastard!” I didn't waste any opportunity I had to insult him.“Alright, I'll be there.” He replied and I quickly hung up the phone.Casio was the name of the club where I usually went with Kelvin to have private meetings concerning important matters like Iris's dad.I had given them some time to come up with ways to catch that bastard, and today was when I would get my report.I rushed to my car, my destination the clu
Iris POV It had been a while since Arthur left me alone in the kitchen, where I had just eaten the lunch he prepared for me. He had told me he wanted to go take a call, but when he didn't return after a few minutes, I was worried about him. We were discussing so many things that caught interest, and I was eagerly waiting for him to return, but unfortunately, he hadn't. “Hmm,” I muttered, pressing my lips together. I had gone out with Arthur this morning without my phone, which meant that, my phone was still in Arthur's room where I slept last night. I sighed, pushing myself off the stood I was sitting as I began to make my way towards his room. The room was big, and awfully quiet at the same time, making chills go down my spine. No doubt I was scared, my breathing became uneven, and I closed my eyes to resist the fear. I swallowed loudly, my throat gulping down the nervousness I was feeling as I felt hot and cold at the same time. “I am not afraid, I am not!” I told myself to
Arthur's POV“Arthur, calm down, the people here might know something is off with you.” “What do you mean?” I snapped my eyes towards him. Ever Since he told me about the possibility that my men were working for someone else, I wanted nothing more than to torment that person myself!“Fix the expression on your face. You're taking this personal issue too far in a public place like this.”He was right, my usually private place had become a public enterprise.“Then get them to send everyone out, so I can express myself!” “Huh?” Kelvin gazed at me with worry. They were numerous important personalities in the room, and he wondered how he was going to send them out.He gulped, nervousness feeling in his eyes. He had never shown fear before, and he was always quiet, keeping a distance from people who weren't friends or family.“Arthur, let's just talk about how we would know those who might be hiding the location of Sebastian.” I sighed at his words, he was right. That was what brought us
Kelvin's POVI was still seated, wondering what was happening to Arthur when I heard his voice.“Sorry I kept you waiting, I feel more at peace now,” he replied with a smile.“Peace?” I raised my brows, but then moved my head to the left and right to get my head out of the idea. I didn't want to believe he had gone soft because he wasn't such a person.He didn't like her from the start, and he didn't even associate himself with her. However, I had begun to see changes.It was like he was trying to get her closer to himself, and was now caring at her.“Yeah, I just didn't want to be the man who makes a woman worried. There's nothing to worry about. So, where were we?” He finally took his seat.“Umm, Nothing else, we have talked about the whole thing. I–” my eyes darted to my phone that was on top of the table.Arthur stared at me, and then his eyes moved to the phone on the table. He saw the expression on my face when I called the number because I looked serious.“Any problems?” He ask
Sebastian's POVI sat on the cushion in my room, my eyes closed as I inhaled. In my hands was an already lit cigarette.A glass of whiskey was on the table near me, and so was a small tray where I dropped the powdery substance that came out from the already burnt cigarette.I meditated on what my next plan would be with a smile on my face. I had a few enemies on my tail, but it was nothing to worry about because I had people on my side who still worked for me.Furthermore, I was a smart man who wouldn't go down that easily. I was the only mafia lord whom no one could stand, so I didn't expect someone who I could end in two minutes to be on my tail.“Daddy, daddy!” I could recognize those voices anywhere. “Hmmm,” I growled, closing my eyes as I waited for them with a small smile on my lips. They were the reason I needed to get rid of my enemies, so we could stop this life of hide and seek.If my enemies get a hold of them, I won't be able to escape. They were my only family left, and
Sebastian's POV.I didn't rest after giving my instructions to the guards. I didn't know what to do if eventually she was alive.Many questions arose in my head, but I pushed them aside. Iris wasn't my priority anymore. I pushed her away from me, I said I never wanted to see her again, and I left her to die in the fire like she wasn't my blood.I had asked the person who I called earlier to gather the info, and report back to me today.There was no time to waste about it, I needed to know what happened, who saved her, and where she stayed.I was shocked as to how my daughter was the one who endorsed the huge jewelry company. I had even forgotten about her, until the twins came running to tell me about her.How did she manage to transform herself into such an expensive tasted woman? The clothes she wore didn't look cheap, the same as the jewelry and shoes, she was living big.My phone rang, bringing my attention back to reality. I was so deep in thought about iris that I had missed the
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
