Hunter's P.O.V.
———————After a long and unsurprisingly annoying day of work, I arrive home a few to seven.
Edward comes to drive my vehicle to the garage but I stop him before he can ask.
" No need. I'll be dropping off Iris and bringing her back soon enough "
He responded with a bow and walks stealthily behind m

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.

Hunter's P.O.V." Someone seems too busy" That sultry voice grabbed my attention in less than a second. She was leaning against the slightly opened door in a simple black polo and blue jeans. I've never been happier to see black and blue in my life." Michelle " It sounded more like a satisfactory statement than a surprise. After everything I've been going through, seeing Michelle on a Monday morning is by far the best consolation I could ever get." You sound like you were expecting me?" She chuckled and took extremely slow and frustrating strides towards me." I wasn't expecting you, you're just what I need right now. Come here" Believe it or not, I'm desperate. She chuckled again and responded by sitting on my lap in a straddling position.

Hunter's P.O.V." Guillermo please tell Edward not to worry, I've done the parking for him" I say as I walked into the living room and shrug off my suit jacket." No problem, welcome back" Guillermo replies and takes my jacket from me. I answer with a nod and flop myself down on the sofa, whilst putting on the television and searching for my worthy entertainment." Ah, you're home" I look to my left to sight Edward descending the stairs in a graceful manner. He had his hand full of papers and colour pencils which I'm definitely sure aren't mine." Err- Edward, is there an architectural crisis going on in your bedroom?" His laughter boomed on the down floor as he clutches his stomach to steady himself." Oh goodness no. These are for Louisa

Iris's P.O.VI decided to follow Edward as he dropped off Louisa at school so he could also drop me off at work.Tomorrow makes it a complete month since I started working with Hunter and I never stopped sending spiritual messages to his official secretary begging her to cease vacating. We were driving down a two way highway at moderate speed as the road seemed a little crowded. The car was silent mostly but it did nothing to hide the way Edward had been throwing me side glances here and there. For the past week Edward and Guillermo have been acting strange around me and I can't seem to place a finger on why. The silence between us grew to a level of awkwardness and if he isn't ready to speak up, I will." Fine weather we've been having recently"&nb

Hunter's P.O.V.———————" You know you could have just gotten here yourself and informed me when you did?" I angrily say to Dylan as we come down from the car and sight Edward approaching.He literally just arrived in New York and the dumbo had to give me a call to come get him.Then he officially became a Google map in the car because he directed me all the way from the airport to my house.General point of summary, He just wasted my time." And forfeit pissing you off? Not in a million years" he scoffed and pulled out his luggage from the trunk." Good to know" I glared at him and collected one of his two boxes from his hands." It's nice to at least set eyes on the good cousin for one" Edward says as he g

Do I look like someone who cares" I was sitting on the couch by the window and overviewing the area.We could really use some lawn mowing." Then call her. She might not answer me but her boss might be an exception"I laughed tremendously at his thoughts or suggestion or whatever he just vomited from his mouth.I may have an idea on where Iris is or should I say who she's with and if I'm right then she will never answer my call." I have better things to do with my phone" I replied after my laughter had subsided as Dylan rested beside me." Yeah right" he rolled his eyes and l

Iris P.O.V." I can't believe three idiots and an elder are under the same roof!" Guess who's on the phone?If you called Megan then you're correct." Look I know you love your brother and hate Hunter but there's no need for name calling" I chuckled into the receiver. She called in the office at around eleven am and this is some minutes to one in the afternoon. We really have a lot to cover and discuss." Don't give yourself credits, when I said elder? I meant Louisa" That was a pang to the chest." Ouch! Megan!" " Oh shush mush.. I'm still angry with you. It's really annoying that I got to hear of this Mason Reid through Dylan" I feel bad that she had to hear it from him too, but it'

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

Third person p.o.v.It was a few minutes to three am but she hadn't winked a slumber, she looked to her side to ensure her baby was tucked in safe and sound.She sighed softly and turned to her side to try catching some sleep.After a few minutes of squeezing her eyes to no avail, she had to figure out what was wrong with her.No..She knew exactly what's wrong. 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

Edward, how much longer do we have to complete this journey?" Hunter finally asked after glancing at his watch in every five minutes interval for the past fifteen minutes." 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."
