IRIS'S POV:LATER THAT NIGHT:“Oh Mummy, we have so much fun. On Saturday morning, we had breakfast made by Jason and one of the biggest michigan chefs in the country as Grandpa requested his presence. They made delicious dishes of different types, even our country's specialty. Afterwards, you might have noticed the trampoline in the backyard. We watched a movie with our grandparents then went there. In the afternoon, we went shopping which explained all those bags.” Jamie pointed at the over twenty designer shopping bags, from clothes to shoes to toys to cooking materials for Jason and cute swimming equipment for Jamie.“After we got back, I was surprised Grandma and Grandpa has so much strength, because we went to the most colorful and nicest bowling alley where Jamie and I paired up and Grandma and Grandpa played against us and we won though Grandma said it was just by a point, we didn't care, we won.” I laughed as Jason added to his sister's story, and Jonathan who was seated on J
IRIS'S POV:Still On Flashback:“It might be hard to settle in giving all the arrangements in your marriage but having a family like the Knight's can make it so easy. I mean I wish the Whales were like this.” She told me and I hummed.“We should spend time together when you're free.” So we exchanged contacts and talked for the rest of the afternoon.“Beware of this one. She's still so weird to me.” She pointed out as Scarlet walked towards me.“Can we talk for a minute? I want to apologize.” Scarlet muttered to me, and I glanced at her, forcing a smile.“Maybe later, and I assure you we have nothing to talk about. And we both know why.” She looked at me confused and right before she could ask anything else, a drunk, dirty looking woman stumbled onto the patio.“Tristan! Tristan! Where the hell is that godforsaken man?!” She shouted, and everyone at the table became quiet with their eyes widened.The woman was dressed in a white gown which was now dirty and her hair was all over the pla
3RD POV:TWO WEEKS LATER:After two weeks of peace between Jonathan and Iris, where they had been talking and even sharing things, it came to an abrupt end after Iris went back to Kemela for 48 hours to review the progress of the project and attend a conference where she had been paid handsomely to speak to over thousands people. Her flight and hotel had been covered by the management of the conference, providing her with the luxury they were certain she was accustomed to.The only problem was although she had informed the kids and her family and friends, she failed to tell Jonathan about it. FLASHBACK:It was late at night on the first day of Iris's stay in Kamela, the kids were seated in the study just coloring the new books their grandparents had gotten them, while enjoying their freshly baked cookies Jason had made earlier.“Welcome back, Mr Knight.” Their new head of staff, Mr Barley, greeted as Jonathan had tiredly arrived at 8 p.m after going to check on his restaurants. “Tha
3RD POV:“So why would you leave not just the city nor state but the country without telling me? What if something were to happen to you? I had to be hearing from Barley…Do you know how embarrassing it was?” He questioned and Iris looked at him and chuckled right in his face.“Jonathan, you have kids, and I am not one of them so don't speak to me like that. And who in the world do you think you're speaking to like that?” She raised her voice asking and Jonathan scrunched up his eyebrow, baffled but extremely annoyed.“So by letting you know I should have been informed, there's a problem with that?” He asked, following behind her as she stepped into another room.“Yes! Because everyone else just happened to find out, what makes you any special?” She placed her hand on her waist and he was just speechless but his anger rising.“What makes me special?! Umm…I don't know. Maybe because I'm your HUSBAND! YOUR PARTNER!” He pointed out yelling and she laughed, taking a seat on the couch.“On
IRIS'S POV:THE NEXT WEEKEND:“So Sophie is coming back to town.” I announced, after a moment of laughter with Robert and Tristan.It was a breezy evening, and it was just 7p.m but I wanted to spend time with the twins alone, so I took them to the park and we went for ice-cream after. My week had really been eventful, the kids were having it easy making friends, especially Jason who happened to be a really famous kid, and Helena, his crush and fellow famous chef happened to be at the same school. He was a cool kid and everyone wanted to be friends with him, Jamie on the other hand, wasn't finding it exactly easy. But my Star always had her back, she didn't like his group of friends as much, so he would spend time with her alone during lunch and walk with her until she found her own group of friends.I was so proud of the two of them, especially Jason for being a good brother.Another great thing that happened was, I had been receiving emails from young men and women all over the world
JONATHAN'S POV:TWO WEEKS LATER:“Is everything okay, son?” My father questioned, placing his hand on my shoulder and I let out a breath I was keeping in, glancing at my watch for the third time in a second.My father, as the entire world recognizes, is one of the most wealthy men in the world, and as many others know he has a son who is also not just wealthy but a very successful chef and the best in the world owning the most renowned five star restaurants and creating opportunity for young children. What many failed to realize was my father owned shares in various company, gold manufacturing companies, chocolate companies such as Scarlet's family's, technology and logistics companies and many others. He believed strongly in investing and he always personally reviewed each with our family lawyers and accountants, reviewing each company before he invests and there had never been a circumstance where his investment had not been profitable or the company eventually became bankrupt.He
JONATHAN'S POV:“What in the world is he doing up there?” Scarlet rubbed her head softly in frustration and I rose to my feet searching for my father.“Good evening everybody, I am Ezekial, CEO of the best chocolate producing company in the whole world. Your kids definitely have consumed various chocolate my company has produced, Vars and many others.. “ He slurred on his words, literally holding the microphone to keep him from falling to the ground.Did my parents give him the opportunity to market his products or what the hell was happening? “But now… The Knights who owe shares in our company, and who are huge investors want to pull out because ... .they don't think we are going to stand the test of time. Isn't that insane and unfair? I mean what are we even celebrating? How fast this phony of a man gives up on companies? Or how their son might just be a rapi….” Right before he could complete his words, the microphone was turned off and security already came and carried him off th
IRIS'S POV:A WEEK LATER:It had been two weeks since Mariana had confided in me, and a week since Jonathan stunned me to the core. The anger that had rushed through my veins after he informed me Scarlet was his date, and the way my heart had clenched after I discovered he was also counting the months. Those feelings were new to me when it came to Jonathan and I hated it.The next day a picture of Scarlet's brother surfaced through the papers and media, and my eyes grew wide when many of the headlines addressed him as, ‘Fraudulent CEO’ , ‘Criminal made CEO’ and many others which highlighted him as nothing but a criminal.I overheard Jonathan talking about it with Tristan in utter shock as Tristan filled him in on everything. Today, however, while everyone else was going to the resort, to have fun golfing, swimming, and spending quality time with one another, I had opted out as I was not feeling too well. I had woken up coughing and my temperature was up, Jonathan had instantly calle
3RD POV:TWO WEEKS LATER:“You poisoned the kids? Did they die?” Loud questioning came from the abandoned duplex out of town, with little to no internet and power majorly supplied by the solar panel gotten from Iris's company.She packed up her hair in a messy bun and yawned, “I did and those little bastards didn't. You know I have always hated those two kids since I laid my eyes on them and it was going to be easier this way. Getting rid of them as well as having Iris crying her eyes out. It's so annoying seeing her grinning from all directions of the camera, I just wish I was able to stay longer and see the tears rolling down her fat cheeks.”She tossed the little transparent bag of poison on the table stand in her room while he sat on the bed laughing at her words while keeping his eyes on her as she stripped out of her clothes. “Well, as long as there are no cameras that capture your face, it's great to keep them on their toes and have fun with them. However, you need to keep me
IRIS'S POV:Now I felt totally horrible and I ran through my face, everywhere was as silent as a graveyard which was definitely a wrong comparison given the situation at ground. To make matters worse, some medical personnels came out rolling a covered body out but stopped when they saw us. I could hear a sniffle coming from someone which I would guess to be Sophie, she hated situations like this.“I'm so sorry.” I coughed out and he smiled tightly.“I totally understand and I'm sorry for all the trauma and pain I caused you in the past, and what Gabriel is doing to you and your family. You still hit as hard as before I see. “ He joked trying to lighten up the mood as he adjusted his suit, and there was a cut on his lip.“Thank you for the suit and for this hit. I needed it more than you would ever imagine.” He looked surprisingly sincere, looking so hurt and he walked off. I could feel everyone's eyes glued on me and waiting for my next move.I closed my eyes for a second before hurry
IRIS'S POV:THAT EVENING:“I came as soon as I heard and Bonnie stayed back with the baby. What are they saying?” Carl joined us in the hallway, greeting everyone who was just as anxious. I remained silent and to myself wiping away my tears, ignoring everyone's word of comfort and encouragement, just thinking long and hard of what had possibly gone wrong. As the twins were rushed in about thirty minutes ago, we all overheard the doctors and paramedic suggest that they were most likely poisoned and Jason's condition was more critical than Jamie.From where? By who? When? “I should have been more cautious and careful. If anything happens to them, I will never be able to forgive myself.” I thought outloud and placed my head in my hand, trying my best not to break down into tears and I could feel Jonathan's muscular arm instantly pulling me.“It's not your fault, Iris. They are going to be fine.” Mariana and Sophie said in unison, just like the twins and I imagined never getting to hear
JONATHAN'S POV:THAT SAME DAY:“Thank you, thank you so much, Sweetheart. This would have never happened without you.” I kissed my wife repeatedly on her forehead, cheeks, lips and neck and she giggled melodiously, looking so gorgeous. Whew…My wife is breathtaking. Even with little to no make up.“It's all you, love. You are so talented, passionate and amazing, it's only right you get your flowers and deal with whoever attempts to tarnish your image.” She spoke sweetly and I held onto her waist firmly, unable to wipe the smile on my face.The switch in people's words and reactions to me was quite amusing. My assistant had read what was being said now and I was just glad, the restaurant would continue receiving customers as this also affected the sales of the restaurant. “I love you so much, with everything in me!” I told her with absolute sincerity, and she cupped my cheek, pressing her lips on mine and kissing me softly.“I love you too, and the kids and I are so proud of you.” She
IRIS'S POV:“In the absence of any confessions or words from either of these great chefs. Let's begin….” The announcer stated, and began cutting down along with every other person in the audience as well as the kids who were just so energetic from all that sugar intake.“3….2….1…” And they began, grabbing their utensils and everything needed.The hall was not so large, it had a capacity of two thousand people because as soon as the tickets were out they were instantly sold out. Many referred to the competition as the ‘greatest battle of the sexiest chefs.’ And what was better than watching it in person…The hall was dimly lit, and the spotlights were on the contestants who had their eyes facing to the audience and the judges who also watched how they had prepared it. I wasn't even as tense as I should be, because one of the judges was present at the revealing of this new meal and he had been one who gave Jonathan thumbs up.But I feared whoever was behind bribing Chef Ryan could also
IRIS'S POV:A WEEK LATER:“Good morning everyone. I am Iris Knight, wife of Jonathan Knight and I will answer a few questions after sharing some words.” I spoke in a very assertive tone, speaking into the different microphones before me. “Chef's Ris was made inspired by me because I am my husband's taste, which is probably why a single bite of the meal will always make you moan or groan at its blended delicious taste. Chefs who have been in love could probably understand what I'm talking about. Chef Ryan who knows if he has or would ever experience the love Jonathan and I share, what if he truly has, won't it be great if he gathered with us by tomorrow night with it being publicly streamed, in order for the whole world to see the same passion and ease in his eyes as he cooks. We've all witnessed Jonathan Knight prepare this meal confidently for years, how come we haven't heard or seen Ryan Jared do the same? If he doesn't, it displays how much of a liar and fraud he is right?” I chuc
JONATHAN'S POV:A WEEK LATER:Bonnie had given birth to a baby boy, and though premature, all four of us had concluded that he was going to be so bad yet great like Carl was. If I hadn't admired Carl before then I totally did now, he had been making sure Bonnie was doing well after the surgery as well as questioning the doctors about the most minimal things everytime he goes online to read something about premature birth. He had also been flooding her with gifts and he shared with Tristan and I that it was finally time to get her the luxurious car she had requested for because she duly deserved it as his greatest fear which was losing her didn't come to pass. Iris also had been so attentive to Bonnie's needs, talking to her about her feelings and worries as a new mother and I had seen them both crying one time. It still broke my heart till this day that I was unable to be there for Iris and be by her side through postpartum.I just hope there will be a next time and I will be there.
JONATHAN'S POV:TWO DAYS LATER:“Jonathan Knight, are the rumors true?”“Chef Ryan has made a whole lot of allegations against you, what do you have to say?”“Are the Knights really thieves of ideas?”“Is this how you plan to portray yourself to your kids?”The paparazzi came all at once as Tristan and I exited out of my office, we ignored them and my security hurriedly pushed them back in order for us to walk past, handing us glasses which I was so thankful for because the cameras kept flashing repeatedly in both our eyes.We successfully entered my black SUV and I heaved out a breath.“What the hell?!” Tristan exclaimed as one of the female reporters clung out at him, preventing him from shutting the door.“Give us something…anything, Mr Knight. Just a word.” She pleaded, sticking her head through the door which was almost getting closed and my security carefully pulled her away.Tristan and I looked at each other after locking the doors and laughed out loud. My driver soon started
3RD POV:THE NEXT MORNING:“Good morning, Sweetheart.” Jonathan greeted Iris, kissing her forehead and she smiled weakly, sitting up watching him bring breakfast on a tray.Iris had already woken up a few minutes ago, and almost shed a tear out of anger at the trending headline all over every blog and the mean words being said about him, set to tarnish her husband's image. Ten minutes after Jonathan's interaction with the lady he suspected to be Scarlet, everybody in the entire hall and world got a notification which stated such defamatory remarks against Jonathan.Jonathan Knight, a role model to many and a successful chef, has been called out by Chef Ryan Jared as a thief who stole his popular delicious recipe for Chef's Ris. This proves Jonathan Knight is not a man of integrity and a thief! He literally forced his wife to marry him, he can coerce anyone to do anything and steal as well. Don't you think?It was uploaded on a blog and it got over fifteen million views in an hour. J
