Nine pm and I heard the front door of the house open.
I was in the kitchen blending some fruits to make a smoothie when Dylan walked in.
" Hey babe. Where's Louisa?" He came up to me and kissed my forehead.
" She slept early, I think her dance class was too stressful today"
He chuckled at my response and moved straight to the refrigerator to grab an ice cream bowl.
" Dylan? Don't even think about running, you promised" Hunter's voice preceeds his presence before he appeared.
We maintain eye contact for less than a second before he lo

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. My eyes stealthily following her movements as she stood and wa

Hunter's p.o.v.New york city?No.I cross out another possible address of Soldo from my ideas. The office was closed by now because the time, I assume is between five and six and I'm seated in my office with an almost empty bottle of whiskey. I'm having a dinner with Mr Reid tomorrow and I have no intentions of telling him what is going on yet but the fact that I'm at the greatest standstill in life is pricking at my soul.I bring my focus back to what I have at hand.Los Angeles. When I heard last about him, that was his location and Soldo isn't one to stay in a position for long.What about Los Gatos?I heard of another drug pin brewing up there. He may have gone to stake his claims.

Iris's p.o.v.I woke up to a familiar scent and feeling around me.Rolling over and opening my eyes, I realized that I was in my bedroom and I don't recall coming back here.The sky looked dim outside so I was either up early or really late. I hurriedly jerk to my right, to check for Louisa and she wasn't there.I threw myself up to see the time on bedside clock and it says four minutes after five in the evening.I slept till evening!?This has got to be the longest sleep I've ever had in my life.Before I could start to panic about Louisa and school, I remembered today was Saturday.I slowly got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth but I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror.My eyes looked three shades brighter and It seems like I lost

Iris's p.o.v.Edward was just driving out of the arrival area while Hunter and I climbed up a flight of stairs to the Reid's residence." Are you sure I shouldn't change? I feel so casual" I whined but honestly I do.I was wearing a leopard print gown that ended mid thigh and is off shoulder with long sleeves, but I'm stepping into the house where multimillionaires will be feeding.I only hope Michelle will not mistake me for their kitchen rag." Miss Jules for the last time, you look amazing" Hunter groaned and I don't blame him. This has got to be the twelfth time I've asked.But still I pouted at his name referral." You said Jules" I plushed my lips in his direction." Yes, because I've been telling Iris she looks awesome but I haven't told Jules yet" he whisper snapped.That m

Yeah.. like the title says, this is a part B of the previous chapter. But it's a third person point of view. It may be a little short, and we'll not know who's mind this is.I hope you'll enjoy it either way❤Third person pov———————— Little conversations here and there were enough to distract the surprising note of whatever was going on. But I've never been one to be blind. Whatever was going on.. though I know not about it, was hanging so thick in the air that I could even taste it. It wasn't tension, No. No one looked frightened or at unease one bit. It wasn't hatred. All eye coordinations were outright, meaning no one had ugly thoughts against the other. It wasn't absolute cheer either. For the

Hunter's p.o.v.———————" Yes you nitwit, I'll inform her" I groaned into the receiver." You better, I'm bored already. I miss her so much" Dylan moaned and I scoffed at his cry baby instincts. He left for Saint Alamos very early this morning and it's just four pm in the evening. He's not even been gone a day." Tell her yourself then, you idiot" my feet were sprawled out on my desk as I reclined in my chair. There was a slow influx of work today so it wasn't as tedious as usual and I'm grateful for it. Work hours are almost done with. The dinner at Reid's went on successfully and three days later I'm anticipating my next plan. I could possibly tell him all about it now." She ain't p

Iris's P.O.V.------- I was frozen. A cold shiver ran down my spine that made me wonder if the blue flickers in my vision were actual works of imagination or a dramatic change in weather. It seemed like time started to slow down. What should be seconds had become minutes. I didn't know what to do. If you're shot, you should at least feel the pain. But I feel nothing except for the cold feet I've developed. I can feel tiny trickles of liquid gliding down my back. Then again it could be my own sweat." Aarrrrgh!" A loud groan of pain reached my ears and only when I discovered it wasn't from my own lips did I accept that I wasn't shot. That can only mean-I turned around so fast to see Hunter kneeling on the floor whilst gripping his ches

Iris's P.O.V.——————Well getting through a night of trying to explain how Hunter had an accident that affected his right shoulder in a car that is still completely intact wasn't as easy as it sounded.And arriving home at past midnight wasn't a good picture to it all.Surprisingly, Louisa was also bothered about him. Accidents seem to gory for her age so I went with he's not feeling too good. Now I have settled his household, his employees were a lot harder to convince. Especially Clarissa, I honestly don't know why she's so adamant that it wasn't an accident. So in general, it was a frustrating day. But at least it's done with. Now, Edward and I are on our way to pick up Hunter from the hospital. I've never been more nervous in my life.Not even for my driving lessons.

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."
