Iris's POVI hummed softly to a song which I loved as I joined the chef in making breakfast in the kitchen, I could have waited until they were done cooking and then take my portion out of it, but I was too happy to keep it that way.Indeed my llife has changed, Arthur has given me a new beginning.“You seem joyous today, don't misquote me you wear a smiley face every day, but something about today makes it special.” The chef said to me as we were cleaning up the utensils we used.I chuckled and blushed.“What do you mean? I'm like this everyday.” I replied softly and then took my food.I went to the dining room, sat comfortable on a chair and ate my meal like a kid who was given her favorite meal, one she has been craving for days or months. I took my time to eat and when I was done, I cleaned it up. I soon became bored and decided to check up on the person who was the reason behind my smile.Taking a step one after the other and practicing how I'd walk on my wedding day down the ais
Arthur's POVI stirred gently in my sleep as I felt something soft and tender touch my forehead, I would have woken up but a familiar scent hit my nostrils, I smiled recognizing what it was and opted to sleep a little more. I woke up later and couldn't specify for how long I'd slept, the first thought that crossed my mind was Iris. I wondered where she was and got up.Wearing a shirt that covered my bare chest; I went out of my room and went to hers but she wasn't there, on my way back to my room I heard some voice from downstairs and knew immediately that it was Iris, she was speaking to Anna on the phone about the endorsement we've bagged in the company and Iris was excited when she was been offered to be a model.I stood behind her and she still wasn't aware of my presence as she was engrossed with her conversation, when she was done she turned back to see me and was shocked, she immediately jumped on me like a kid who was seeing her dad for the first time in a very long time and
Arthur's POVMy eyes were fixed on Iris, who was sitting in front of me with her head lowered. She was really shy, and it was evident from the redness on her cheek.“Iris, I want to ask you many questions, but I don't know where to start from.” She didn't reply to my words, her eyes still not meeting my gaze.“Do you know anything about your father besides his name?” My eyebrows were raised as I watched her sit in front of me.“Tell me about your father, his friends, the way he rules, anything you can tell me about him,” I spoke patiently, my eyes watching her keenly, but even the expression on her face showed that she knew nothing about it.“Tell me about your family, tell me about everything, I want to know.” I seriously wanted to know about her, her past and everything that has happened to her. I wanted to know why she was abandoned. Did she do anything wrong to deserve such a treatment?“Iris?” He called, and her head turned towards him with an obviously forced smile on her face
Iris' POVI stood in the office with a smile, recalling how my life had taken a major turn of love. For the first time in my life, I was treated specially, with love and with care.To stop myself from thinking about the things that happened between Arthur and I, my eyes darted to the office and I began to take note of everything there.The office was a simple design, yet it looked so beautiful and dazzling. The decorations in the office made it look very homely.The floor was tiled with a brown colored tile, which matched with the brown tables and chairs in the office.“This is nice.” I said, moving around the office as I gazed at the artificial rose flowers and the paintings on the wall, which looked simple.“Hmm,” I sighed, watching the office in boredom. It seems like my only source of happiness was thinking about Arthur. He is my joy giver in my life at this moment.Speaking about drama, Someone barged into the office and began to mention some set of jewelry that had been stolen.
Iris' POVI watched how Arthur was quiet for a while, his presence, making the atmosphere quiet, finally my saviour had arrived.“What the hell is going on here?” Arthur asked, his brows forming a 'W' as he moved towards where I stood.I was terrified, shaking out of fright. This something I never wanted to pass through again.My palm was wet with sweat, and so was my forehead. I was feeling so nervous and even when I tried to contain it, the thudding sound of my heartbeat that played in my eardrums wouldn't let me.“Didn't I ask a question, what's going on?!” He roared, his voice causing everyone to flinch as murmurings spread across the room.Everyone was afraid to speak, and it showed in the way they were trying to get someone to speak up.“Speak! What the fuck was going on? Have you all suddenly gone deaf, or would you rather lose your Jobs?!” He was calm, but the way he spoke instilled fear in them and I could see them shaking just the way I was before.“You, you were the one bl
Iris' POVThe next day, I walked into my workplace with a double mind. I was so scared about what happened yesterday and hoped that everything had died down. Unfortunately for her, they were still mumbling about yesterday's happenings from the mouths of the people. However, what they were saying seemed to be different.“I never knew she could be that heartless!” A girl spoke but kept quiet when I came towards her.“What's going on? Was the jewelry found?” My eyes waited for answers as they stared into the girl's soul.“Ma'am, I'm deeply sorry about yesterday, I apologize with everything I have in me. I didn't mean to join the group who accused you falsely.” My gaze became serious, and my lips pressed into a thin line which was later released with a sigh. I had thought I would spend the rest of my life in jail for a crime that I didn't commit.“It's fine. I just wanted to know if the jewelry was found. I'm afraid that the blame might still fall on me because I was the only one in tha
Iris' POVI walked by Anna's side when we left the office. My mind, thinking about everything I had gone through. I was thankful because I was let off the hook, but that meant I couldn't trust anyone in the office.“Why are you lost in thoughts?” Anna's voice spoke while we moved outside the office.“Nothing important, just shocked about everything that's going on.”“Why? It's normal to face problems in life, don't you think?” She asked and I nodded. It was the truth. It is normal to face problems in life, and yesterday was just one of the many problems I had encountered.“The driver would take us there,” she said, picking up her phone to call the driver.“Hello, yeah, we are in the parking lot, where are you?” She asked with a neutral face.“I took the car to the fuel station, I'm almost back, ma'am,” the driver responded before she hung up the call.“I guess we have to wait for him.” She sighed, gazing at me with a sad face.“Hey, there's no need to worry. He said he's nearby, didn
Iris POVThe day came faster than I expected. My eyes opened and I was surprised to see that the sun was already up.I gasped, jerking out of the bed and rushing to the bathroom. I didn't know I would sleep this long. I was tired from the activities and so I didn't realise I would sleep for this long.I moved to the bathroom, taking care of my teeth before hitting the shower. The shower trailed down my body, relieving me of the tension I woke up with.After showering, I wrapped the towel around my waist before moving to take care of my skin. I applied the necessary creams.After which I picked up a simple outfit to wear. It was the weekend and since I wouldn't be going to the office today, I might as well take the time to relax my mind.After putting on my top and jeans, I made my way out of the room to have breakfast but it seemed like I missed it because I overslept."It seems you were tired," Arthur said from behind me when I sat on the dining table."Yeah I was but why didn't you
