He glanced around the room, hoping to see Iris, but she was nowhere in sight. She had been with him when he woke up, initially asking him questions, Instead, he saw his mother, Mrs. Rose, and his sister, Ivy, and Bella, rushing towards him."Ryan! Oh, my baby!" Mrs. Rose cried, pushing past Iris who had been standing by his bedside."Iris, move!" Ivy snapped, shoving her aside as she rushed to Ryan's other side.Iris stumbled back, her eyes wide with shock and pain.She had been about to talk to Ryan, to explain what had happened, but now she was being pushed away."Doctor!" Mrs. Rose called out, her voice urgent. "Come quickly, my son is awake!"Dr. Parker hurried in, examining Ryan and performing a thorough check-up. "He needs to remain under close watch," he instructed, making adjustments to the IV drip and checking the monitors.As the doctor worked, Ivy and Mrs. Rose kept asking Ryan questions, touching his face, and expressing their relief that he was awake."How are you feeling,
Accompanying the photos and documents was a note: "Do you really know who you married?"Ryan's hands trembled as he examined the evidence. "Iris...how could she?" he muttered, feeling a wave of anger and betrayal wash over him.Just then, Bella entered the room, noticing the change in Ryan’s demeanor. "Ryan, what’s wrong?" she asked, feigning concern.Ryan looked up at her, his face hardening. "Iris," he said through gritted teeth. "She’s been lying to me."Bella's eyes gleamed with satisfaction. "What do you mean?" she asked, coming closer.Ryan handed her the photos and documents. "Look at this. She's been meeting someone and taking money."Bella pretended to be shocked. "Oh, Ryan, I’m so sorry. I had no idea.""She’s going to pay for this," Ryan vowed, his voice filled with determination.As days went by, Ryan's hatred for Iris grew. Bella, Ivy, and Mrs. Rose continued to fuel his anger, convincing him that Iris had tried to kill him. One evening, as Ryan was resting, he heard
"What are you talking about, Ryan?" Iris asked, her voice trembling. "I was called…”"By your boyfriend?" Ryan cut in sharply. "You have no shame or respect for me or yourself. You tried to kill me so you could go be with your lover. All this time, you’ve been acting like a saint, but you’re more dangerous than the devil himself. How could I forget? You’re a whore—a filthy one at that.""Ryan, I..." Iris began, but Ryan’s fury silenced her."Just shut it and leave my room! I don’t want to see you anywhere near me," Ryan barked, his face contorted with anger.Iris’s head spun, tears welling up in her eyes and blurring her vision. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing."Calm down, honey," Bella said, her voice sickeningly sweet as she stroked Ryan’s hand. "Don’t be too harsh on her. You’re still recovering. You don’t want to hurt yourself."Ryan glared at Iris, his eyes cold and unforgiving. "Get out of my room now and stay out."Iris flinched at his words, the tears she had been h
”Emma nodded. “I understand. Life can get complicated. It’s good to have something you love to keep you grounded.”As they chatted, Iris felt a sense of friendship with Emma. It was refreshing to talk to someone who didn’t know about her troubles at home.Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Ryan was still struggling with his feelings of betrayal.He sat in his office, going through paperwork when Bella walked in, carrying a paper bag containing food “I thought you might be hungry,” she said, setting the tray on his desk.Ryan looked up, forcing a smile. “Thanks, Bella.”Bella sat down, watching him. “You seem distant, Ryan. What’s on your mind?”Ryan sighed, rubbing his temples. “I just can’t get over what Iris did. It’s eating me up inside.”Bella reached out, touching his hand. “You don’t have to go through this alone. I’m here for you.”Ryan nodded, appreciating her support. “I know. It’s just... I never thought she could do something like this.”Bella leaned in closer. “Sometimes, pe
The night where she took Ryan to her house, after helping him to bed and taking pictures of them together naked she covered him up, as he was already fast asleep.*****************************She finally had him, and there was no letting go, she thought to herself and smiled.Bella began to see her efforts paying off.After almost an hour they both reached their climax, and fell on the bed trying to catch their breath.One afternoon, Iris received an email notification that made her heart skip a beat. It was her schedule for the upcoming term at the fashion school. She read through the details, excitement bubbling inside her. This was her chance to prove herself and regain some control over her life.The next morning, she dressed in her best outfit and left for school with renewed determination. The school was her sanctuary, a place where she could forget her troubles and focus on her dreams.As she walked into her first class, Mrs. Fields greeted her warmly. “Good to see you, Ir
Ryan's expression darkened. "What else am I supposed to think? All the evidence points to her.""Yeah, but think about it. You've known Iris for a long time. Do you really believe she could do something like that?"Ryan frowned. "I don't know, Luca. It's hard to tell. I mean, she was bonding with me before all this happened. But then, the evidence..."Luca leaned forward. "Ryan, I've been watching you and Bella. There's something off there. The closeness you have with her now... it's not right."Ryan sighed heavily. "I know. It's complicated. After that night we spent together, I felt guilty. It was just... it wasn't anything special. Not like with Iris."Luca raised an eyebrow. "You slept with Bella? When was this?""After a night out. I was drunk, and she took me to her place. We... you know.""And how did it feel?" Luca asked.Ryan shrugged. "It felt wrong. I mean, it was just like being with any other girl. Nothing special compared to Iris."Luca laughed lightly. "Man, you're fa
Despite his initial resistance, he finally agreed. They stopped by a restaurant for dinner before heading home.As they entered the house, they saw Iris at the dining table, having dinner. Upon seeing them, Iris stood up."Welcome," she greeted them."What took you so long?" Bella blurted out."I never greeted you; it was meant for Ryan," Iris responded coolly."And who told you I wanted you to greet me, you unfaithful whore?" Ryan snapped back."I know you are mannerless, but you should show some respect to my guest," Ryan barked at Iris."Your guest should learn how to greet too, don't you think so?" Iris fired back, surprising both Ryan and Bella with her defiance."What did you just say?" Ryan stepped forward, anger flashing in his eyes."You heard me right, Ryan," Iris said, her voice steady but her hands trembling. Before she could say another word, Ryan slapped her hard across the face, causing her to stagger backward. She held her cheek in pain, hot tears streaming down her f
Her mind raced with thoughts of escape, justice, and finding a way to clear her name. She knew she had to be strong, not just for herself, but for the future she still hoped to build.In the following days, Iris avoided Ryan as much as possible. She threw herself into her fashion school, finding solace in her work. Her determination to succeed and prove herself kept her going, even when everything else seemed to be falling apart.Ryan, on the other hand, continued to struggle with his conflicting emotions. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was terribly wrong, that maybe he had been too harsh on Iris. But with Bella constantly by his side, reinforcing the narrative that Iris was the one to blame, he found it hard to see through the fog of his anger and confusion.Meanwhile, Luca kept a close eye on the situation, hoping to find a way to help his friend see the truth. He knew that there was more to the story than what met the eye and that the real culprit behind Ryan's
