IRIS'S POV:

TWO HOURS LATER:

“Happy 28th Birthday In A Few Hours Dear Iris! Happy birthday to you…” Everyone sang, which made me laugh and grin brightly as the waiter brought the cake which was controlled to be as bright as spark.

The photographers flashed the camera taking pictures, and Emily had her personal videographer capture everything and I just felt so loved and important in the moment and as I glanced at the gift table which had over a thousand gifts and seeing as there was a bountifully meals and Tristan had gotten about five plates ignoring his strict looking mother's cautioning, I could only feel so blessed and grateful for all of this.

My family, my new friends and families and my small little family with Jonathan and the kids. Jonathan had a sad smile all evening, and after his words in my room a few hours ago, I was just a bit worried about him.

    IRIS'S POV:THAT SAME NIGHT:“I'm setting you free….Free from me.” Those words echoed in my head repeatedly, as I watched him walk away and I blinked repeatedly, keeping my eyes fixated on the divorce papers. The entire table was pin-drop silent even after over a minute and I didn't even care what anyone thought at the moment because I was hurting badly.

After everything that happened last night, we returned into the room and showered one after another, though I had teased her on how I had seen every inch of her body in the past and I had tasted every part but she had blushed and argued teasingly, stating that it was a long time ago and her body was more mature, and I'd pass out if I ever see it and she can't risk that. She was just so playful and it reminded me of that drunk night at the bar. So I was truly getting MY IRIS back? It felt like a dream come true.I had slept snuggled into her chest last night taking in her sweet vanilla scent, holding onto her soft skin and she had wrap

She brought out a huge birthday gift, obviously done by the twins and she smiled.“Read it out…” They ushered and I could see her already tearing up.“Dear Mummy, A year ago we had no idea who our father was and now not only did you give us a chance to know our father but to also become a family.
