My Greatest Marriage With A Sweet Stranger Face-off
IRIS'S POV:THAT SAME DAY:“What are you doing here?” The words finally came out of my mouth and I was getting creeped out by the huge smile on his face.He strolled towards me from the deep end of my office but I stretched out my hand, stopping him. “Stand right there and answer the question. What in the world are you doing here?” I questioned with a stern voice.Various reasons were running through my mind. Is this like a story where the girl is finally getting her happiness and now the man who broke her heart comes to ruin it? And speaking of happiness, my phone kept vibrating in my hand, as Jonathan was calling me nonstop.“Come on, Iris, you know why I am here.” He said looking too happy for some reason I was still trying to figure out.“Did I mention how stunning you look? I know behind this hard exterior you're trying so hard to maintain, I'm certain you've been following the news that I didn't get married, and as you desire I am here for you. Only for you and OUR KIDS, who I

Looking at his facial features, his bright green eyes, his hair, which made Gabriel clenched his jaw.“Iris, are you really married to this man? After everything we have been through together, how could you do this to me? Hold on…hold on…If the kids aren't mine does that mean…..Iris were you cheating on me when we were still together?” He walked towards Iris and grabbed her arm roughly and aggressively, with rage and craziness written in his eyes.Before Jonathan could even grab him, in a split second Iris kicked him in his private area, and before he could register the pain, she slapped him so hard and loud, it bounced through the corners of the roo

JONATHAN'S POV:“Come on, Jonathan. Don't give me that look, you know I can't do this on my own. So can you please be there for me, this one time?” By her tone, I knew she was getting frustrated and hurt but I glanced at my watch letting myself feel guilty, and concluded that I would have been back for my evening with my wife and kids.But what if I wasn't? I thought while Scarlet looked at me impatiently. “So are you abandoning me or coming with me?” Scarlet asked again, impatiently and I pursed my lips preparing myself to refuse. “I will ensure my driver accompanies you.” I told her with finality and she shook her head at me, tossing the gift bag she got for the kids at me.“I hate you.” She sniffled and slammed the door loudly and I let out a breath. *********AN HOUR LATER:I was oblivious to the fact that Ezekial's mansion was over forty-five minutes drive and to make matters worse, there was a little traffic.

I didn't care if the world found out about Jonathan and I or anything else, for now my name was not to be disclosed to Gabriel, but he knew.He had sent me an e-mail, some days ago begging as well as being mean. “Very well. You have nothing to worry about, Mariana is handling it.” She smiled softly, taking off her red bottom heels and getting comfortable on the couch. I took a seat as well, and glanced at my phone and when I didn't see a call from Jonathan, I sucked my teeth in irritation but I was getting anxious.“Weren't you supposed to be on a family date? Why am I here? As a matter of fact, where are my god-c

He was way too excited, and I was happy things were going well for both of them and for Carl and Bonnie.I retired into my room after walking them out and shut the door with the key, pretending like I wasn’t waiting for Jonathan to come into my room and explain to me. When I passed by the twins' room, I saw him arranging their things. I took off my robe and laid on my bed reviewing the documents, trying to get my mind busy. After about five minutes, I heard a knock on the door which instantly made my heart leap. “Iris.” He called out and I waited for at least five seconds before slightly opening the door.“What do you want, Jonathan?” I inquired, folding my arms, and he heaved out a breath.“I’m sorry for failing to call an

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?

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.
