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'

Hunter's P.O.V.———————–" I'll send in some to Charlotte later in the day tomorrow" Guillermo said as he stepped out of the living room, to which I only nodded. My eyes were on the television screen but my brain is only replaying the meeting I had with Dorado exports. What exactly do those men take me for? A fool? I even scheduled us another meeting and yet they had no hints that their plans were as useless as dust. Another Saturday night and I'm enjoying a solo movie with a humble glass of whiskey. Then my phone chimed.Dad. I answered the call and waited for him to say something into the receiver.I'm actually pissed off at him." Hunter?"" Yes Dad?"

Hunter's P.O.V Today has been truly another frustrating day in my life and I am honestly having an internal brain drain between my stomach and my head. Chance stopped by the office and I sincerely don't know how, but he convinced me to a night out with him. Now I'm at the bar in a club drowning my self in various types of liquor.On a Monday night.I have a feeling deep down, that I will regret this later." So what do you intend to do about Jules and Mason?" Everyone keeps asking what I intend to do like I can do anything, they're far too gone to bring back.And he calls her Jules too? Wow." What do you think?" I gulped down another glass with it's flavor stinging my throat as it went down. I gestured to the bartender for a

Iris's P.O.V." If I had a say in this, I'd like to wonder why you were called?" Edward said after a yawn.We were already driving down to the address Chance had given over the phone.The road was too quiet and except for a few bodies moving in corners and Shadow's whom I presume to be notorious teenagers, nothing else was found.The half Moon illuminated the road as well as the street lights and our car moved somewhat slowly with me in the passenger seat." Huh?"" I mean it's midnight and that alley is notorious for all things not positive, so why would Chance call up a lady specifically you at this time to come get Hunter?" He explained further but his voice was extremely hoarse." Maybe cause I was the nearest contact he could reach?"" I don't believe that. Mr Chance is very good friend of Hunter

Iris's P.O.V. It's seven forty two am, and I've already been up for the past one hour or so.It's not like I had enough sleep either. Or rather I couldn't sleep. I just finished waving Louisa a goodbye as Edward drove her off to school. His eye bags a simple explanation of his lack of sleep. I walked into the kitchen and met Cheryn and Guillermo having breakfast and chatting away happily. I had already seen them earlier today when Louie had to eat breakfast, but there has been no difference in my mood from the time I saw them thirty minutes ago and now." Guillermo have you seen Hunter this morning?" I asked, feeling very apologetic for interrupting the twos discussion but I had to. Hunter had a photo shoot today by nine and I don't want us to be late.

Hunter's P.O.V." Mr McConnell, I'm so glad you could make it. The crew were beginning to worry you wouldn't" I met Mr Borolea, the owner of La Cherié magazines on the ground floor as I walked into the lobby at half past nine." I'm sorry for the delay Borolea. I encountered a minor problem"Minor problem also known as a tremendous headache.But it's subsided though." No worries. You're here now and that's all that matters" he extended his hand to me for a shake and that was when he noticed Iris beside me." And who may this lovely lady be?" His smile transformed from pleased to flirtatious in seconds." My secretary" I simply replied and she looked at me with almost a pout on her lips and scrunched up brows." Miss Jules" Iris introduced herself now knowing that I wouldn't do it for her.

Hunter's P.O.V I was about leaving the office when Mason walked in.I have never felt so late in my life. If only I had gotten ready five minutes earlier." Hunter. Hey how have you been?" Mason greeted with a smile on his face and I tried to mimick his gesture, but my facial muscles refused." I've been alright I guess. And as much as I would love to stay and chat, I know you aren't here to see me"He scratched behind his head, meaning I had caught him." Err- I'm actually here to see both of you"Both of us? That's a recent activity." Okay?, Wanna have a seat?" I gesture back to the room." Oh no. It's brief"That explains why I'm involved.I nodded as a sign for him to carry on."

Hunter's p.o.v.——————— " Good morning Mr Hunter" Cheryn was the first to acknowledge my presence as I walked into the kitchen." Morning Hunter" next was Edward, he greeted as he side steps me to leave. I nodded to the both and carefully took my steps into the area. But they weren't the only ones here. Iris and her kid were seated at the opposite side of the counter. And Iris made no efforts to even try looking in my direction.Thank goodness she's given up. I took my stand on the other end of the table piece, across from the family duo and opened up a plate kept aside for me. As soon as I sat, Iris rushed up to grab something from the refrigerator.

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

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
