2024-10-29 19:42:56I was just standing up from bed when a call comes into my phone.
Surprisingly it's Dylan again.
I know he said he'll tell me something today but this early?, it's five thirty in the morning.
Sweeping my cover to the sides and checking if Louie is still asleep are the last things I do before answering the dial.
" Isn't it like three AM over there?" My voice groggy and dry.
That's the effect of a good sleep.
" Yeah yeah I know, but I couldn't sleep "
Now that has honestly got me worried. The only time Dylan ever had a difficulty with sleeping was when his Dad was diagnosed with diabetes.
It took a while to make him understand that diabetes and cancer are two different diseases entirely.
" What's up? Sleepless nights are not in favors for you "

Hunter's P.O.V. It's been three whole days since I received the text from Dylan and still no call. Whatever he wants to talk about doesn't seem serious then. I was about to pick up my cell and callIris informing her of my arrival to work when she walked right in without consent." You have to learn to be a little more punctual these days. I can't have my tables overflowing with your duty" She groaned and slammed a pile of papers, documents and leaflets on my desk. I really didn't know how to react. My normal staff wouldn't even dare to walk into my office without permission talk less of dumping my work on my desk without a good morning. I honestly could never get used to this Iris." Good morning to you too" I told her as I gently placed the phone in my hand

Hunter's P.O.V." Okay, wedding invitation.... Accept " I murmured to myself and checked it in the positive side of the list. Maybe I could get tips from here on my own wedding plans. About to read the next line when my phone chimed with my ringtone. My eyes still scanning over the paper when I picked the cellphone and answered the call." Hello?"" My baby!! It's been so, so long "Mom.I can't express how I'm feeling at the moment, it's been almost one whole month since I heard from her.Okay maybe just three weeks, but I'm complaining." Mom... Wow, how have you been?" I closed the book in front of me." I'm good my baby, I'm good. What about you?" She asked and her voice is sounding awfully t

" But aunt Megan told me if they try to diss, show 'em the fist" Louie scrunched up her right hand into a fist and slapped it against her free palm.Megan is corrupting my angel.We were seated with crisscrossed legs on the bed opposite each other as she narrated how she almost sent her fist into the cutest boy in her class's nose." No. No way " I started unclenching her fist " Violence is bad"" Aunt Megan doesn't lie" She pouted. Most often I wished she could have chosen someone else to be her role model.Oprah.Will Smith.Even Me!But she chose Megan. A mobile revenge stick." Aunt Megan didn't lie. She just told you a very active retort, a little too active for a kid" I stood up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom to take a quick convenience.

"That stupid, unintelligible, idiotic son of a fracking mother of a dog!!" I just stepped out of Hunter's office after a brief discussion we had. He wants to get to a man's head and overrule his business but rather than talk it out like a normal business man with a fraction of brain would do, he set me up on a date with him!Without my damn consent!! I should go out with him to liase as a woman because he believes women were Mr Luigi's weak spot.Now, currently I'm in my office venting out my anger on an innocent pile of files which I just shoved into the cabinet. Apparently these files too had a death wish as a few came scattering over the floor." Screw this job, screw that man!.. fuck.. screw New York!!" I was busy muttering to my slightly deranged self and squatting to pick up the files

Hunter's P.O.V.Simple instruction!Stay away from Mason!She couldn't adhere to the simplest instruction I've ever given her in this life!I will not stay put and watch every plan I've perfectly laid for a year go down the drain.What did she not understand? My relationship is on a low key and I don't want another secret on the spur.Didn't I ask nicely enough?" Uhm, Mr McConnell?" Fuck! Lily is still here." Sorry about that, go on " I snap back to reality where lily exists and give her a little attention.I honestly needed my concentration on this.But it's not going to be possible whenever I remember how she would have willingly destroyed a good plot by laying her lips on the second born of Reid's.Even if she was going t

Iris P.O.V.————— I marched with a huff of annoyance towards Hunter's white car that was parked on the west side of the restaurant. The date wasn't even a complete ten minutes!Well, five since it took quite a while to locate the vehicle. Hunter was leaning against the driver's door and answering a phone call but I'm very sure I saw his eyeballs expand by four inches when he saw me approaching. I hurriedly walked to the passenger seat and slammed the door shut. " Baby, I'll call you back " He said to whoever was on the phone and I believe it's Michelle.Mr Luigi is definitely the second most frustrating man I have ever met.No one beats Hunter in first place." This is the shortest date I have ever

Iris P.O.V. The moment we arrived at Hunter's house, I was already groggy with a sleepy soul. But the house never stops leaving me in awe. Everything is just so perfect, I really don't want to calculate the money spent on it. Hunter parked up front and almost immediately, Edward emerged from the house to carry out his regular job. I hopped out as soon as the car came to a halt and stylishly ran indoors. Shower then sleep. Those were the mantras I chanted to myself as I made my way to the room. I was expecting Louisa to be asleep but who am I kidding? It's just slightly to ten and I met my happy baby scribbling on Cheryn's face who had fallen asleep beside her, probably while she tried to get the kid to shut her eyes.

Iris's p.o.v.-----The tunes for Unconditionally by Katy Perry was being played so softly by the DJ and it's lull filled the entire hall.The room was slightly beginning to get filled up by business associates, family members and even the press.Clicks from cameras and chatters from people engaged in discussions were prominent in the enclosed space, filling the area with excitement and buzz.I stood at the entrance and surveyed the black and blue themed hall in awe and gloom. Claudette has really got a top notch style.I had already handed Louie to Jenny so she could prepare to be the 'flower girl' and now I regret it cause I have no company.I engaged in a little chat with Guillermo a few minutes ago before I entered the hall but he had to leave so he can go get the priest.No sign of the bride and groo

Iris's p.o.v." Mommy am I going to be okay?" Louisa asks as I tuck her in.We had finally arrived home after a brief, suspiciously quiet, tiring drive.Seriously, the silence made the journey longer than it should." Yes baby but the doctor said for you to be okay, all you have to do is sleep, eat, draw and sleep some more" I answered with a smile." Yaaaay" she cheered but it ached my heart when I heard how weak it sounded." Go to sleep cupcake" I whispered and placed a soft kiss on her forehead." Mmmmm" she moaned softly and slowly shut her eyes in an attempt to fall asleep.I noticed her little winks and sighs and unknowingly, a chuckle escaped my lips and I began using my thumb to trace her plump cheek outline." Mommy, what about daddy?" Huh!?

Iris's p.o.v.————— After a while of thinking and consideration, Claudette and I decided to make the proposal party a small one. I personally wanted it smaller than that, possibly just two people and a ring but Claudette does know how to throw a fit. So we chose his office as the venue and invited a few people asides from his employees. Edward, Guillermo, Claudette, Mrs Reid and her children ( well except Meredith and of course Michelle ) and some business partners he was particularly fond of. Mrs Reid took it as a point of duty to invite some of Meredith's friends. That also, I saw no use for.Nine o'clock pm sharp. It's time for Michelle to walk into her surprise." Hu

On my way to the office this morning Mr Reid gave me a phone call saying he had important information for me.And the rest seems like history.Currently I was in my car, driving down to the restaurant he'd chosen for the meeting and my heart is pounding so loudly in my ears.Okay, I know I said I'd given up on everything but for some reason I still feel the need to save my life.Survival instincts right?Why the hell is the journey taking so long?I had to

Ever since Hunter had come home looking so sad and crestfallen, she hadn't felt so comfortable.Her little thought told her that it had something to do with Mr Reid and the deal, probably Mr Reid hadn't agreed with the terms.If that were to be the case then Hunter is really doomed, he can't get any backing or financial support to pay off the debts.He was left to the fate of some drug Lord's somewhere around the world.But th

Am I hearing a modified adult version of ' are we there yet?' " Edward mocked and I lost it.I laughed out so loudly that I was gasping for air. But when I want to stop, a quick look at Hunter's face sends me reeling in laughter once more." Stop..... Stop... I can't..." I managed to blurt in between my laughter."
