Iris POV I really have to stay on my toes when it comes to this man. One second I was complaining at the top of my voice and then the next his lips were embracing mine, and I wasn’t stopping him.Despite knowing he was toying with my feelings I deepened the kiss holding his face this time to around.He was fierce and intense with passion as if he had wanted to do this for so long and my body was responding to his every touch.His hands roamed around my body reaching my boobs and squeezing it making me moan in pleasure.Just when I thought we were going deeper he pulled away I was breathless.For a moment I could not even remember what I had been doing before that and when I finally did and realized how quickly I had shut up my face went red with embarrassment.This was our second kiss and it was better than the first.I tried imagining what he would be thinking but knowing Arthur, he wouldn’t say anything about the kiss. I found my fingers running through my messed up hair, a feelin
Arthur POV I don't even know why I bothered to explain the incident that happened the night before to her.She could have gone on imagining me as a monster that I wanted her to picture me as and everything would have been fine but when I saw her face descending from the stairs as she was coming down to join me for breakfast it was really bad on my appetite and after contemplating it between a few mouthfuls I decided that I wasn't really at loss if I told her that she was supposed to be grateful to me. At least that was what I thought before but now looking back on it it was making me look like some kind of knight in shining armor and I wanted to be the horrible monster for her because I'm not the man that will save her On other things, now I just had to patiently sit back and allow the information about the party to circulate around and around until it reached the ears of her bastard father that she was in my custody then I'll see what more he makes on this chess table called li
Iris POV A day had already passed, and the awareness that Arthur's business trip was getting closer. Even though I was scared of the man, he was still the most familiar person in my life right now. My heart thumped regarding the incident when his former business partner almost ended my life. I was scared that something would happen again but the problem was that he wouldn't be around to defend me. But he wasn't bothered at all and I didn't want to look so dependent on him,so I rolled heavily from one side of my bed to another. Most of the time I was still sleeping or lounging around in my bed, with nothing at all today so many things that I used to enjoy before in the past were impossible because now I could no longer see.I was wondering how people in my condition had fun, maybe because I was only focusing on the negative in my life perhaps there was so much more that I had not allowed myself to this cover these thoughts were keeping me up on my bed rolling over and over aga
Arthur POV "Sir, Welcome we've been waiting for you." I handed my briefcase to a lanky looking male at my side as I walked into one of the most expensive five-star hotels of the town where the ship was going to dock with my supply, before coming here my man had done it all expression of the place and they were still planted in strategic positions in case of anything that might arise.This hotel had actually been arranged for me by my supplier, but I wasn't going to waltz in without a care in the world. One of the ones I made it to the top was not by being careless and overly trusting of people. The interior of the hotel was more impressive than I expected it to be and I found it to be giving a cozy and classy feeling but I didn't have much time to admire it then because there was also something else prepared for me for my supplier in the top suite of this hotel on the uppermost floor. Now the elevator ride feels like it has lasted for a hundred years with two of my men behind m
Iris POV Now I didn't expect that the first day that Arthur was gone I would miss him so badly.I didn't think it was going to be so vividly clear; that his absence would make a huge void, and I was right on the first day I tried to be as enthusiastic as I possibly could. I literally woke up on the right side of the bed and I did some light exercises and then went down to have my breakfast then my piano music teacher came along and he was giving me lessons telling me that my lack of sight was no hindrance at all to me learning the piano and I was so grateful for that hoping that I would impress Arthur when he eventually came back. However as the days began to pass by my excitement started to filter away and instead my days were filled with yearning for him and his returning.When he was present at least I could hear his voice even though most of the time it was raised above an octave to scold me… I didn't feel lonely. Yuri was mostly there just to take care of my needs but I felt
Iris POV The pilot's voice filled my ear, informing me and the other people that had boarded the plane that we had now arrived at our destination."We're here," Yuri said.I was bubbling with excitement all over, but I kept a straight face. Part of me was feeling guilty for lying to Yuri. Arthur had not contacted me once since he left. I made her believe that he did so she would bring me here telling her that there was something he wanted me specifically to bring to him. But I had to choose between being left in the dark and telling this lie and obviously I had made my choice. Now in a few moments I could finally talk to Arthur again. My heart was racing with so much anticipation and excitement that I didn't even mind if he was just going to yell at me the moment he saw me or how he was going to scold me later.After all, the man that had brought me to this world had said more harsh things to me than anybody else ever could, so we took a cab straight from the airport over to the ho
Iris POV I was clinging to Arthur's back despite how angry I was inside for always thinking otherwise.His voice had been cold when he asked that question earlier and it wasn't in the same cold way that he spoke to me most of the time, there was something that was different about the way he spoke, it sounded so deep and severe filled with spikes and hatred for whoever he was speaking to. If a gun had been planted in his hand he would have buried two bullets in the person's head without any hesitation at all.The tension in the room became so thick that a knife would have difficulty cutting through it. "Come on now Arthur don't be like that, I came all the way here to visit you…" "If I am going to be having any discussion concerning the business with anybody it is going to be either your father or your older sister but not you, So leave…" Arthur said shouting. So she was a business partner? I wondered…but why was he speaking to her so harshly? When they just had an intimate mome
Arthur’s POV.My feet's firm on the floor as I stood just a few inches away from Iris. I watched her trying to move away from my presence without having to fall or push anything off.One thing I admired about her was how smart and observant she was even in her state of blindness. She knew the hotel room in which she stayed was decorated with a lot of breakable objects.I couldn't help but move closer to her, I was pretty sure she noticed my warm breath on her forehead.Before I could even comprehend what was going on with me, I bent, adjusting to her height as I devoured her upper lips with my right hand teasing her face and my left hand firm on her waist.She moaned making me know she loved what I was doing.I proceeded to suck on her lower lips this time and then continued intangibly.It was becoming more intense than usual, realizing what I was doing I released her lips from mine as I watched her eyes widen in shock and her lips agape.“Arthur…” She muttered, still trying to let th
Iris's POVI blushed as the events of the previous night replayed in my dreams and I smiled wish before opening my eyes, I took a moment to reflect on the happenings of the previous day and I couldn't believe my luck. Arthur was so passionate and loving, I was finally getting my dream life and my hand roamed freely on the bed in search for Arthur, but I could only feel bed linens, my eyes widened in shock and I sat up almost immediately.“Arthur.”I called out for him thrice but got no response, I stood up and checked the bathroom, but he wasn't there, my heart raced, and I almost burst into tears as it crossed my mind that he might have left me, a million questions flooded my head, didn't he believe me? Was all a dream? Did he deceive me into thinking he accepted me back? Does he not love me anymore? Am I now a burden to him? Has he been kidnapped again, or anything bad happened to him?Still confused about all that was happening, my door burst open to reveal a smiling Anna, I immedi
Arthur's POV Watching the men fight to death wasn't as interesting as I thought it would, but I seized the opportunity to try to find a way out, my arms ached as they had been tied behind me for a long time and I tried to stretch them, I realized that the rope that were used to tie my hands loosened a bit, this realization was the chance I had to escape, so I began to skillfully yet carefully try to get my hands out of the rope. 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. I tried to conceal my hitching breath and I put the bone back to its normal position and I tried it for the next finger, it was more painful than the first, b
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
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
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
Kelvin's POVThe thought of being on the run and having to go into hiding never crossed my mind when I mapped perfectly out all of my plans, everything was going smoothly so smoothly that I praised myself, Sebastian also voiced out his respect for me as I had managed not to only fool Iris but Arthur as well but little did I know that I was fooling myself.I almost this close to getting away with everything and couldn't believe my eyes when Arthur suddenly barged in and intercepted my plans, I had to flee for my dear life because no one knew Arthur better than I did. 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
Arthur's POV My plans were already in place and I began to give orders to my men, I couldn't wait to get to Kelvin and shove my gun down his ass. 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
Arthur's POVMy heart broke the moment I saw Iris's pregnancy report, words couldn't express and quantify how shattered I was, she made things worse by denying the claims which infuriated me. I love Iris, she means the entire world to me and I have come this far just for her sake, when she left me, and I was shattered I still held on hoping that she'd realize her mistake and come back to me.When she made plans to get married to Kelvin, the urge to free her from the clutches of his lie and clear her misconception about me kept me going, and I had sleepless nights trying to find tangible evidence. When I brought her back with me, and she fainted I was scared, scared I would lose her once more but seeing that she was pregnant? I was scared as well, scared I'd lose my sanity.I didn't know how to react to the hurt and kept mute even when she tried to strike a conversation with me, I was losing my mind, and it was the love that I had for her that held me back from breaking down but when
