3RD POV:TWO DAYS LATER:“NO! NO! That's your problem. I have a family and I am happy, you and that chick aren't going to ruin this for me. Do you understand me, Gabriel? Handle this without getting none of us involved.” Ben raged, tossing the document to the counter, after he had read that Gabriel was getting sued for sexual harassment.“Oh, now you see it was a bad decision. Weren't you just rooting for him, Bennie boy?” Marcus, who was getting sick of all of them, questioned and Ben simply kissed his teeth sharply, drinking out of his vodka.Gabriel had called them up inviting them to their favorite bar which they hadn't been to in over a year, in fact they had been too busy to throw him a bachelor party. When they all got the invite, since it was a weekend, they zoomed there to find out how things had gone with Iris but they had been hit with this.“I tried to tell you, stay with your dumb, easy going woman but you refused. Now, not only are you trending for being the jerk who lef
IRIS'S POV:A FEW WEEKS LATER:“You look ravishing and so handsome!” I complimented as I fixed Jonathan's tie and he held my waist looking deep into my eyes.“What?” I chuckled softly after I was done, because his eyes were still burning through mine, and he was now running his hands from my waist to my hips. He smirked devilishly and pulled me closer to him, then proceeding to leave warm kisses on my neck and now creating hickeys yet again.“Jonathan, No…No. We literally just got out of the shower after that strenuous activity and no matter how good it might feel, I still need to be able to walk in order to complete our tasks of the day.” I was so mad at myself as a moan escaped my lips immediately after my stern speech, I proceeded to melt in his arms.“I just want to be in your skin so bad, you're so perfect. You smell so good, feel so good and you're so sexy, Sweetheart.” He spoke seductively in my ears and it took all the self control in me to pull away.“Nice try, Mr Knight. Le
IRIS'S POV“I am so tired but this was so worth it.” I commented, standing behind Jonathan who looked at the pictures in approval. “We have dinner prepared for the family after. But right now, we have a few questions.” A lady spoke so fluently and looked even more pretty. I discovered she was the head of media, which was amazing because she had been so particular about everything and ensuring everything went perfectly.“Alright.” My hair was packed up into a ponytail and was curled up, and I was wearing a black bodycon bodysuit which hugged my curves perfectly and Jonathan just looked so good in his black pants and black shirt with the first two buttoned down. “This interview will be released after the images of your weddings has be leaked, so I'm going to speak in future tenses if that's okay with you.” The lady spoke and Jonsthan and I nodded in agreement and understanding. I smiled as Jonathan grabbed my hand softly, as the equipment was getting set.“Okay…One, two, ready…” She c
IRIS'S POV:THE NEXT DAY:“Thank you for creating time to see me. I have missed you so much.” Mariana voiced out and opened her arms widely, pulling me for a warm embrace. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, Jonathan and Jason had headed out for a game along with Tristan and Carl, they were going to have a men's day. My mum and my mother-in-law had gotten exclusive tickets to the premiere of the first live show of Snow White, so they had taken Jamie with them. I had straightened her soft beautiful hair and put a pink bow, which matched her pink shoes. My mum had gotten her a beautiful white gown. My daughter looked like a princess, so she requested I take a picture and send it to her favorite man in the whole world, Jonathan. After they left, I called Mariana after realizing we had neither spoken nor seen since my twin's show. As soon as I picked up my phone I realized she had sent messages and called to check up on my wellbeing. She was just an amazing friend, and I deserted her.
IRIS'S POV:They spent the evening laughing, talking and even shared a kiss. It was totally unbelievable and disgusting. I had left the restaurant in irritation lying to Simon that I wasn't feeling too well.“I mean Tristan and I only shared a one night stand and nothing really deep but I knew his wife wasn't good to him. I don't even think he's trying to make me jealous because there's no way he could have known I was going to be at your husband's restaurant that night. Tristan is just a child, he is so immature and if I ever see him, I am going to rip his head off.” Mariana concluded her narration with anger radiating off her body, like she was relieving the whole evening again.“I can't even defend him because his ex-wife's constant embarrassment, cheating, yelling at him all contributed to why he was drinking so much and even went to the bar that night and met you. I'm going to get to the bottom of this, to protect him from getting hurt and used again by that woman.” I told her, a
3RD POV:COMPETITION:“Introducing the judges for the season 2 of this competition. The head judge, who is the most handsome and successful chef in the whole world and a model to many young children all over the world, is the Chef Jonathan Knight!” It was announced and the audience clapped while a few people in the audience made a ‘boo’ sound which infuriated Jamie and Iris, Jamie especially who had been furious at the comments being directed at Jonathan and her twin brother.Two nights ago, after over three months of utter silence from the media, and Jonathan putting in effort and dedication into his work, and the media unit of his company putting in effort on ensuring that everyone is tuned in to the competition, pictures of Jonathan, Iris and the twins got leaked with the headline, Who would have thought Jonathan Knight and Iris Fletcher are married with twins? One of the twins is Jason Star Fletcher, who won the last competition. How can we trust the judges who were obviously bia
JONATHAN'S POV:THAT SAME DAY:“I know it must be hard.” One of the chefs from the Eastern part of the world, whispered to me as we all watched Jason and Zedekiah, cook, slicing, dicing, frying, cutting, displaying all the talented ways in which a true talented chef works, and I stared in amazement at the both of them. I watched my son like a proud father because I was one, he had diversified to sports, drama in school and was still excelling. I couldn't even, when I was younger I was solely focused on my culinary skills and later on, tapped into business administration and management. No wonder my father loved my son so much, he always wanted me to do everything a young boy was meant to do and seeing Jason do that had to be like a ‘I told you so’ moment for him to me. However due to the relationship I had with Carl and Tristan, we got into some athletic sports.“Huh?” I was confused on what Chef Kieve meant by his initial statement. He was an extremely talented chef, mastering cooki
JONATHAN'S POV:Mrs Fletcher got a call and she instantly picked, leaving me furious, clenching and unclenching my fist.“I think that fucker Gabriel Thymes has something with this. Probably his friends as well, this was done out of malice not hunger. If not they would have stolen the pipes, and devices. I'm going to talk to my people in Kamela to investigate this, Iris doesn't deserve this.” Tristan spoke out in speculation yet anger and certainty and started dialing his contact's number when Mrs Fletcher returned back to me.“That was my husband, Iris just left and is not picking up her phone.” I heard cheers coming from the audience, my heart beating loudly and at a fast pace.“Tristan, please ensure the kids get up safely and Mum, I assure you I will make sure Iris is alright and protected, but please ensure the twins know their parents are safe, happy and proud of them, especially Jason. I am leaving now.” I spoke to the two of them and they nodded in understanding, grabbed my ke
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
