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.

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: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

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.

Probably his friends as well, this was done out of malice not hunger. If not they would have stolen the pipes, and devices.

I might just slit my wrist and end it all.” I muttered to myself and chuckled humourlessly, stepping into my large yet empty apartment. I tossed my keys, and took off my coat, hanging it on its rack.My apartment was white, clean and beautiful. It had about three beautiful rooms, with a living room where I had pictured Miguel and I watching movies and eating popcorn, cuddling and laughing under the white blanket I had purchased which smelt like roses. The kitchen had all the equipment for a standard kitchen, a stove, kitchen utensils all in my favorite color. I was no chef like Jonathan but I planned to learn or have Miguel learn and cook.I shivered as I sipped out of my bottle of wine because this apartment was cold. It had no sort of warmth, it was lonely as much as its owner. I could never have pictured myself lonely and heartbroken at thirty plus. I was no longer in my prime and it was evident in my career and

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
