2024-10-29 19:42:56Iris'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.

Hunter's p.o.v. It's my first day back at work and a week after my 'accident' . As soon as I had my seat to begin, I see a missed phone call from lovelyn.And that surprised me.Since when has my sister been one to call? I called her back as soon as I could, silently wishing I had enough minutes to spare." Hey " I said once she answered." Honestly, I don't know why we're still related" Yup, a heartwarming greeting from a sister I haven't seen in almost a year." You should really learn to be more explanatory. For someone who's studying Mass communication, you suck at it" I jested and relaxed into my chair with a smirk on my face." And for someone who should be dead, I thought you'd learn to appreciate things more. Guess I

Iris's p.o.v.Thursday night and Hunter isn't back from work yet.It's actually been three days since I confronted him about the letter and ever since the motivation to bring it up again had just vanished.I softly tucked Louisa into bed and gathered her drawing supplies from her side to keep it on the night stand.It was already late at night and what had kept me up was proof reading a contract BellStone had sent to us.If I'm to presume it should be eleven pm or there about and when I picked up my cellphone to be sure, I was nearly correct.10:47pmA yawn escaped me before I could realize and that only made me aware of how exhausted I've been of recent.It even feels like I don't get enough sleep.I checked on Louie and used my hand to sweep away stray bangs of her hair that

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

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.
