Iris: The Mafia’s Bride Lost In Thoughts
Iris' POVArthur had just left the kitchen. He said he wanted to get something, and would be right back, so I decided to wait for him. I sat there in thoughts the moment he left, and even when I tried not to think about him, I couldn't. He was a really nice man these days. The first time we met, he didn't talk to me for a while, but these days, the care I received from him began to change my heart towards him.He seemed like an excellent person who wanted nothing but to protect me, unlike my dad who left me in the face of danger.My father left me to die, not caring if I was his seed.I thought of every time I had spent with Arthur, and I couldn't, he'll, but thank him for everything he did for me. He was a good and well composed man who cared about nothing but my health.My memory began to recall the times I spent with my father, and the only thing I saw there was the fact that he hated me so much.He had blamed me for so many things, allowing my stepmother to maltreat me like a sla

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

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.

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,

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
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

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

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
