**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
Arthur's POVI stayed with Iris all night just before the day of the surgery. I could feel her fear and anxiety when the surgery was near, she was innocent and very fragile, and I wanted to protect her at all cost. Confessing her fear meant that she trusted me, and I wasn't ready to ruin that, since she was already scared of me.The excitement and joy she felt when she knew that the eye surgery would be successful was next to none in the whole world, and at that moment I knew I wanted her to keep that smile on forever. I had ensured to pull all the strings to find her a competent Doctor who would do the surgery and though it cost a fortune, yet I was contented that she would get to see how beautiful the world is once more.All through the night, I realized that she was naive and beautiful, I kept her occupied by telling her silly stories of myself, funny jokes and some folktales. She enjoyed my presence, and her smile filled me with such fulfillment and happiness that I never knew ex
Arthur’s POV.Fear stroke me hard this time.I was smart and quick enough to at least take note of the plate numbers of the car.Hurriedly, I reached for my phone and typed it into the phone so as not to forget. I was sure I was going to find out who these people were and why they were after me, but for now, my main priority was to get to Iris and see how she was fairing.I had to get to her through any means and quickly, but I had no idea of how I was going to do that now my car was crushed.I decided to call the my guard to send me a car. Immediately, he picked, and I went straight to the point concerning the main reason I called.He considered my command done with utmost speed.As I sat in his car, negative assumptions hit me hard. These men, these exact ones who tried to harm me. Could they also be after Iris? I never wanted her to be in danger all because of me, and hence I was forced to do all in my power to ensure her safety. I was sure they at least had been following and stal
