IRIS'S POV:

“You have the power to protect them and unlike you, I'm sure they wouldn't stop you from protecting and being there for them all the way. So I advise you to go back, you might not even meet either of those men. Support and watch Jason emerge as the winner. It will be okay and you have Aunty Mariana there as well to support.” She concluded and I heaved out a breath.

“See that's why you're my best friend!” I mimicked her tone of earlier and stretched out my hand for a hug and she embraced me laughing.

“Now is it just me or my man is talented? Did you see all those art pieces? Woof…It's crazy this house isn't on fire.” She commented in astonishment and pride, I smiled just seeing her in love.

“They are.”

“You know when my cousin got married a year ago, I was wondering what was wrong with me that I wasn't getting married or even proposed to. I wasn't even pregnant nor fooling around. I was just sitting myself down and working. It was a bit depressing, and I didn't tell anyone

I had been so passionate and dedicated to it, it was almost done.I had named it AquaSolis Haven, and it was meant to provide electricity to everyone in the entire city. It was a beautiful plan, it would generate so much income for the company and help so many people. Phebian, a friend from College, who was an outstanding Civil engineer, had also been helping w

You're too busy for me now?” Mariana asked playfully as they walked through the less crowded V. I. P section. “Girl, don't start. You're the one who's been busy with your cases and we literally met for brunch twice this week.” Iris pointed out, amused by her be

As much as I might travel to various countries for work and vacation, there was nothing beating the adrenaline and excitement that ran through my veins every time I was going somewhere new. But not this trip though, I had been here and it just took my mind to the time I arrived here over nine years ago. I was happy, naive, speaking like a typical rich girl who didn't want anything from her parents, and oh….I was so not observant.“Mummy, you look scared. Doesn't she?” Jason pointed out, then turned to Jamie for confirmation. “Not really. She looks stressed though.” Jamie responded, and I just looked at them as they stared at me intently.“I'm not scared but a little bit stressed out that's all. How about you two? How are you feeling?” I asked, then ch

The apartment Gabriel and I stayed was about thirty minutes away from the city, private estate for his status.“My sister has always loved the neighboring city. Let's get married there, I will have my team set it up and trust me, it would be spectacular. Just let me go tell her.” I remember vividly how he kissed my head afterwards and like a kid, he skipped away hastily going to inform his little sister, Tamar, all about it. Without even sharing more details nor asking if I liked it. His sister and relatives liked me. Another reason why I didn't even bother objecting was because I hoped it would at least bring s

It's admirable you can't get her out of your mind even after over two years…” I trailed off thinking to myself about that gigolo who I couldn't also get out of my mind, nor picture another man making love to me like he did.It was so sad, wasn't it?“And how busy are we talking?” I questioned, shaking my head to dispel the thoughts. “Definitely how you get busy with the kids, work and your secret creations.” He responded and I frowned looking at him with disbelief. “I'm not even kidding….I need a vacation soon. But talk to me, how's Sophie? Is she seeing anyone?” He inquired and I shrugged sipping out of my drink, noticing various security guards by a table close by and another by the door.

I couldn't help but think even though it seems childish,What if they weren't pleased that we were recovering our kids and they tossed us to the basement and locked us in there like in the movies? What if the old man who directed us here, left in a haste because he feared them and not because of his animals? I had no fear anyways, the police came with us, as well as our security, we were protected and we came bearing gifts in appreciation.
