Arthur POVIris hasn’t spoken much after the news, unlike the talkative person I knew, she was quiet and calm.I took another glance at her for the second time, seemed like she was thinking about what the doctor had said.“Iris” I called out but she didn’t reply.I decided to leave her to think about the decision she had just made, This happens to be one of the most difficult decisions in life and aBut I was going to make sure the operation was held by the best doctors in the world.Somehow I felt bad for her, she was innocent and it was all my fault she was blind.I wished I hadn’t attempted to burn the house, she was so innocent and didn’t deserve to pay for her father’s sins.But on a second thought, there was no reason to be guilty, her father had killed my parents without thinking twice.He had killed them in front of me, not caring if I watched or not.I can vividly remember how he shot my parents on their forehead and left.One thing that surprised me was the way the case was
Kelvin’s POVI took a deep breath as I stepped into the mansion, there were tons of maids and guards working relentlessly in there, and it was too huge for me to start roaming around and guessing where Arthur or Iris was, so I simply approached the nearest maid.“Would you be kind enough to point to me the direction of Arthur's room”? I asked politely.Her eyes widened in shocked, and she curtsied, I could understand her reaction as Arthur was a big shot here, as the owner and their employer they had to accord respect to him, she left what she was doing immediately.“Follow me.” She politely requested.I nodded my head and followed her. We walked past several rooms, ascended the stairs and took a left turn twice before we arrived at a huge room. She knocked gently on the door, and it was opened from the inside. She bowed her head and excused herself. I understood what she meant and took a deep breath right before I stepped in.The house was nothing like what I knew before.The interio
**Arthur’s POV**I walked into the mansion and saw a car parked outside, it looked familiar, but I just couldn’t recall.“Welcome sir” The guard greeted as I came down from my car.“Do I have any visitors?” I asked.“Yes, Sir Kelvin is here” He replied and I nodded before entering the house.Kelvin was not a visitor in my house, we were once leaving in the same mansion, but as time went on I wanted my space and privacy.I decided to check on iris before taking my shower.I knocked but got no reply, I entered the room and it was empty.“Where has she wandered to?” I questioned myself before calling out iris maid.“Where is Iris?” I asked.“She is in the garden talking to Sir Kelvin” The maid replied.“Kelvin?” I asked and she nodded.Immediately, I walked out of the room and headed to the garden.On getting to the garden, Iris's laughter was all I heard, I have never seen her laugh this hard and to worsen it, Kelvin was holding her hands.They haven’t noticed my presence yet, and I use
**Iris’s POV** A familiar scent hit my nostrils as I turned over on the bed. I was reluctant to leave the dreamworld. Hence I laid there a few more minutes, but I knew I couldn't stay there forever. My eyes fluttered open and I sighed. It wasn't as if I could see a thing, but I had no choice. Only in my dreams do I get to know what it feels like to see again, and I mumbled a word of prayer to the goddess. I felt a presence in the room but didn't freak out since it felt familiar to me. Ever since I lost my sight, I had horned my other senses, my sense of hearing and perceiving became more sharpened as that was the only thing I could do to help myself. I reached out for my cane, which was always beside my bed and struggled to get on my feet. “I see you're awake.” A familiar voice said. “Good morning.” I greeted in return. I imagined that look on his face, he hated being corrected or worse, scorned . I could feel his slight hesitation before he moved closer to me. “Did you sleep we
**Iris POV**My tension soon dissipated as Anna introduced herself as Arthur's sister, I could hear her chuckle and my face flushed red from embarrassment.“You look astonishingly beautiful!” She exclaimed.I blushed once more, it was nice hearing someone compliment me.“Thank you, I bet you look more beautiful.” I replied.She chuckled loudly and held my hands in hers. Her hands felt soft like a baby's hand and her touch was gentle and filled with warmth. I was beginning to like her. I felt Arthur's hesitation to leave, but it seemed something caught his attention as his hands slipped away from mine. Furthermore, I wanted to hold on to him, but I knew better and stayed put. Not only that, but I was in a strange place and worse; I couldn't even see, but I knew he wouldn't leave me alone in somewhere that's not safe. Hence I relaxed a bit.“Excuse me ladies, I have to attend to an urgent business.” Arthur said.I smiled, knowing well that my guess wasn't wrong after all. It was almost
Arthur's POVI had only left for a few minutes when Anna had hijacked Iris and began to ask her personal questions, Iris was about to innocently answer when I intervened. I halted at Anna, who rolled her eyes at me and opted to use Iris as a model for the most expensive jewelry that we had for sale. Furthermore, I was against the idea, but Anna being stubborn and strong-headed; she ran off with Iris just before I could stop them.It took quite sometime before they emerged out of the dressing room, and the Jewelry Iris wore made her look more beautiful than ever. It enhanced her beauty and made her look like a top model, her perfectly curved body also added to the alluring aura that she carried around her. I sucked in breath into my lungs as she looked breathtaking, but I wasn't willing to admit it.Anna rushed towards her and whispered something into her ears, soon the bidding started, and I stood among the distinguished guests and watched proudly as they fought and showed off their m
Chapter 40Arthur's POV“Get back here, Anna!” I ordered.She suddenly froze dead in her tracks and slowly walked back to me, she pouted and made a baby face; something she always does to pacify my anger, but I wasn't in the mood or even swayed the least that day. I felt Iris shake at the impact of my scream, I ached to soothe her and tell her not to be afraid of me, but I was still angry.“Arthur.” Anna drawled.“Don't.” I growled.She pouted and withdrew back. I sighed and regained my composure, her issue was giving me a headache, but I decided to keep it all in for now. Kelvin, on the other hand, stood a few meters opposite me and winked at me, the bastard was intentionally getting under my skin. I inhaled deeply and chose to ignore it.“Let's go, the party's over.” I said in a tone devoid of any emotion.Anna scrambled to my side and held Iris's hand, I glared at her, and she laughed nervously before letting go of her hand and intertwining their arms.“Let's go Iris.” Anna said ch
Iris's POV “Iris!” I heard Arthur yell. He literally had called me for the hundredth time within a few minutes, he was just so impatient. Did he think I was some kind of machine who could just teleport ? And for a matter of fact, I was fucking blind, and so I wondered how he expected me to rush down to his calling only if he could understand it wasn’t my fault but that of the maid because she was slow dressing me up.“Iris!” Arthur yelled again, this time I could feel the anger and annoyance in his voice.This time I replied from my room where I was getting dressed as I almost screamed the entire mansion down, “Can you be damn patient! Just hold on and stop screaming my name like it is some kind of anthem.”I could hear him scoff loudly from where he was and hence I ignored him because the maid, after here whole ceremony in my room dressing me up, she finally assisted me to where Arthur was.Immediately he noticed my presence, he did not let the chance go by as he began to be mean
