My Greatest Marriage With A Sweet Stranger A Mother's Vigil
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

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

3RD POV:A WEEK LATER:“He was let go because there was no evidence against him, and his alibi matched. We should have known he would be of no news. Reports say he sat in the questioning room, silent with a smirk on his face, until his lawyer came and took him away.” Jonathan explained, dressing him in a suit as he had dozens of meetings with sponsors, senior and junior chefs, executives and he was also to be at his father's company for a shareholder's meeting, since he owned large shares he had to be there.“That's totally insane! He's trying to mess with us and I don't like it one bit, especially with the kids involved.” Carl pointed out, over the phone as he was just checking in on Jonathan and the kids.“I don't even want to leave their side for a second but they have school to catch up with and they feel so much better. I need to find out who that woman is and since only Scarlet comes to mind, we have to find her.” Jonathan said in finality and Carl hummed in agreement.They spok

IRIS'S POV:THAT EVENING:“WHY, IRIS? WHY DID YOU GO AND SEE HIM?” Jonathan yelled at me, loosening his tie and I sat on the bed like a little child who was getting scolded.A few hours ago, after leaving the disgusting meeting with Gabriel, I headed straight into a meeting with potential investors and CEO's of a huge technological company who specialized in the production of high end gadgets. They were interested in my projects and commended my company's progress since I became CEO. I excused myself due to the uneasy feeling I had. I picked up my phone and called Jonathan seeing that I had a couple missed calls from him.“Hello—--Iris, where the hell are you and don't lie to me?! I'm on my way to that cafe right now, outside I really don't want to make a scene.” He cut me, sounding extremely angry.“I'm no longer at any cafe, I'm at the restaurant in 24th Street, uptown.” I told him and he hung up afterwards.I completed my meeting with the two men, and after shaking hands with them

IRIS'S POV:A FEW DAYS LATER:“What's the big surprise, Daddy?” Jamie asked, holding onto my hand as we finally arrived down stairs, all three of us blind folded.It was a lazy Sunday, and the kids and I had woken, freshened up, made popcorn along with a bowl of punch, and we were instructed by Jonathan to stay in the movie room because he had a surprise for us. We were so curious at first but ten minutes into the movie, we were so engrossed that we had totally forgotten about it. In curiosity we spent another one and a half hour, watching part two of the movie which gave Jonathan more than enough time for his surprise.As soon as the movie was over, Jonathan was already waiting for us with blind fold and a cute smile plastered on his face.“I smell something good. Like really good.” I commented, trying to point out what exactly I was smelling that made my stomach growl.“Me too! I smell chicken. Can we take our blindfolds off, Daddy? I'm hungry.” Jason pleaded and we all laughed hear

3RD POV: AN HOUR LATER:“What really happened? Where are my children?” Iris questioned, in despair and Jonathan instantly embraced her tightly.Iris had not realized while inside the room that the sun had already set and it was now dark outside, she was filled with nothing but regret, anger and pain.“Jonathan..Where are our children?!” Iris snapped, the silence in the air was deafening but she didn't even seem to want to hear an explanation, she just wanted her kids with her, like right now.“The kids were thirsty and we went ahead to go grab the bag which we had suddenly discovered and walked to the locker room. Since the lifeguard was on standby, Bonnie headed to the car for something her baby needed, assuring the kids, she will be back in a jiffy. However, whoever was behind this took that as an opportunity to attack, shutting the door we were in. The lifeguard who we had trusted had been a part of them as well. Baby girl, I am so sorry and I mean that from the bottom of my heart

3RD POV:“We are going to either do this, the easy way or the hard way.” At the sound of that from the scar man and the man flashing out a handkerchief, the twins as well as Noah jumped out of the water running towards the door which was already closed.“Nice try.” They both snatched up the twins who continued fighting and running for more than a minute, but the guys were stronger and swifter, so they used their handkerchief to cover their nose until they passed out.“Let them go, let them go. HELP! HELP!” Noah yelled at the top of his lungs, following behind the men but unbeknownst to him, as he walked away, the lifeguard grabbed him from behind and mindlessly tossed him aggressively into the pool, from his neck which ruined Noah's balance even in a shallow pool.“Whatever they plan for the kids is none of my business, but I'd pay to have this girl and her sharp little kicks.” The man with the scar openly voiced out pedophilistic thoughts and the other man remained silent as always,

IRIS'S POV:THAT SAME DAY:“Iris!” Jonathan called urgently after me as I rushed downstairs, after already seeing Scarlet from the top of the stairs, sitting down on the couch with her legs crossed sipping out of a cup of coffee, in a long sleeve black dress which covered her foot. Scarlet stood up as soon as she heard my name being called and I rushed towards her, ready to punch, throw hands, kick and rip her hair off, wondering how she had the audacity to be in MY house after everything she had done.I mean, was she here to brag about kidnapping and hurting my babies? Or was she here to also demand for things like Gabriel and Ezekial? Those questions at the back of my mind had invisible steam coming out of my ear.When I was just two feet away from her, with Jonathan too close behind him, she had a solemn look on her face and she called out my name.“Hi Iri..” She had not finished calling my name fully when my fist attached to her right cheek with force.Jonathan grabbed me after

My Greatest Marriage With A Sweet Stranger A Love That Last
IRIS'S POV:It was embarrassing and amusing and since reporters were there, they had captured it and the whole world had laughed and I was just grateful that I never had to worry that she would come back. Sophie had accompanied Mariana when she went to see Miguel after he was released from prison, earlier this year. He told her he had learnt his lesson and he apologized from the depth of his heart and travelled out of the country. We all toasted to that piece of information, and Sophie was just different now. She and Robert had a small wedding three years ago at my Island and the two had two kids in a span of a year, which we all found totally amusing. As soon as she gave birth to her first cute baby boy, Paul, in a span of three months, she was pregnant yet again and we couldn't help but wonder if that was healthy.

IRIS'S POV:A FEW DAYS LATER:We had headed towards Roland's family house, and it seemed all eight of us had the same thought in my mind with how careful and gentle we were being. 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. As soon as I knocked on the door, Mrs Roland opened the door with a bright, beautiful smile on her face.“Good afternoon, how may I help you?” She asked, looking into my eyes deeply, standing before us in a blue scrub and my heart dropped a bit at the sight of a blood stain on her shirt.Jonathan cleared his throat and wrapped his around my waist, and said, “We are the p

The cops quietly surrounded the building and from afar I watched them count down before bursting in.

How long have I been asleep for? Did they find the twins? Where are my dad and my husband…?” I inquired, stammering out and she patted my back.“I need you to take deep breaths Iris, please. Alright?

Well, she almost thought she was smart but she wasn't, which was her Achilles heel. Everyone around her was always two steps ahead for her, but she never was in the loop.“Let's head to the Gabriel Thymes Residence.” Jonathan kissed my forehead and wiped my tears, while I ignored my phone ringing seeing it was my mother calling for progress.Which did not exist.*********LATER THAT NIGHT:3RD POV:“I know damn well…you didn't just break my phone.” The anger in Ezekial's eyes was flaming, and they were the only ones seated in the dining area whereas Gabriel was passed out on the couch from drinking and smoking in the living room.“And I know damn well, you just saw me break it.
