Iris pov
I mustered all my courage, then struck the door with all my might, screaming as stream of tears rushed down my cheeks."Help!!!" I yelled out to anyone in the mansion that could help."Iris, come here," Damon said coldly.I wasn't going to obey him today. He was a monster, a monster covered with human skin.He frowned, rubbing his temple and placing the bowl on the table."Iris, I will call you for the last time…" Before he finished his words, I cried out loudly.Giving up, I sat on the ground. The more I cried, the more I felt a headache. The more my body felt weak, giving way. I was exhausted from yelling.Just then, Damon walked to me with large strides. I didn't notice his dress before now; it was the first time I was seeing Damon in sweatpants and a simple shirt.His hair fell perfectly on his forehead. No matter how much I hated this monster, I was always mesmerized by his beauty.Iris' povIt's been several days now Damon has taken care of me. Even though he was mean, he didn't play with my body, leaving me to recover from the illness little by little.Opening my heavy eyelid, I stretched my numb body. I had slept so well and had peaceful days, all the days under Damon's care.Most times Damon would have a cold shower, coming back to give me medicine. He was gentle, but still mean. I still appreciated this side of him compared to his monster self.The rays of the morning sun reflected through the room, the curtains blowing up, allowing the morning cool breeze in from the balcony.I felt much better today. I walked to the balcony, smiling and spreading my hands, receiving and sniffing all that was in nature—all that nature provides.I felt much better compared to several days ago, feeling unusual happiness within me. I looked at the city from the balcony; this was the perfect view, so perfect. There were skyscrapers casting their shadows on the small buildings.
Iris' pov Feeling both confused and dumbfounded, I wondered who Damon was instructing to get out. If it was his assistant, he wouldn't send him away—he was about to deliver an important message. I glanced at Damon, our eyes meeting. He looked at me with an expressionless gaze, sharp but neither angry nor amused. He pursed his lips like he was holding himself back from laughing. He suddenly raised a brow, looking at me. Feeling embarrassed, I didn't know if I was the one he was ordering. I couldn't stand up from his thigh without his permission. If I stood up without confirming if I was the one he was ordering."A... am I... the one to le..." I couldn't bring myself to talk straight. I was so nervous, even looking at him. It was like he would eat someone up. Just then, I heard a slight chuckle from Damon. He leaned closer to my ears, "Go out, Iris," He whispered into my ears, his warm breath against my ears sent an electric sting throu
Iris's pov I was in so much pain. The tea was really so hot, I didn't know until now that it was poured on me. I stood there with my head bowed as Kaila kept on searching the house, the bodyguard also following along with everything she does.I couldn't help myself from crying. I had just recovered from my fever. Now I have to be poured a hot tea, and my scalp had to be pulled. All of this has always been just by being with Damon.If Damon doesn't bully me, his mistress would. I couldn't even find her now because a guard was standing in front of me, having the same height as Damon. "Take her," Kaila suddenly mentioned from the stairs. While the guards pulled me forward, I didn't protest yet. They weren't gentle and still pushed me forward, almost stumbling in my steps.This situation just reminded me of the slave trade. I was pulled into the black car. She sat at the front while the two guards sat at the back.I couldn't save m
Damon's pov"The hell is all this shit, huh?” I was so angry, the only thing on my mind was blood. To just wanted to slit the throats of these incompetent workers. I ran my hands through my hair, taking a deep breath. I wasn't going to calm myself down today. I was going to vent it on these incompetent workers. Julian had informed me of the sloppy work done by these guards who are supposed to be working around the clock."How would you have a spy, a betrayal, an outsider, and none of you wouldn't notice the shit?" I said calmly, but I clenched my hands into a tight fist. All these guards don't deserve to be spared at all. They had the guts to keep their guard down, to keep it low. "'Apologies, boss,'" they said together, their knees hitting the ground, taking off their suits and shirts as usual, to prepare for their punishment. I circled the welt in my hands, grabbing the edge to make it straight. Th
Iris's POV"Strip her now and do your business," the crazy lady instructed the guards, laughing coldly. Everyone around Damon seems to have mental health issues. The lady wasn't satisfied after hitting me. I clenched my fist tightly, beads of sweat forming on my forehead. Pain shot through my back. It burned with every movement. I could feel the swelling but couldn't see it. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes. Every little thing made it worse. Moving, shifting positions, even breathing hurt.I thought I would die now. Even my dress had been torn off. The guards came to me, tearing away the last piece of cloth covering my body. "Satisfy your desires and throw her in the sea," the crazy lady yelled.I was thrown onto the dusty bed. I couldn't help but cry. This pain was worse than I thought. "Please don't do this," I cried out. My body already hurts so much. Why did I have to go through this?I wished someone could just come and save me. I lamented as the guards pulled out
Iris' POV"Hello, I'm back, you bloody motherfucker," Kendrick's voice boomed. "I'm pretty sure the case isn't that serious."It had been three weeks since I last saw him. He was a surgeon, and Damon kept calling him for a minor case.I tried to cover my exposed backside, but my back itches like crazy. I wondered how the welts would look.Finally, I managed to cover my rear. Just then, Kendrick arrived. I raised my head to greet him with a bow. My back was exposed for him to treat, but he stood there with a shocked expression. Was my injury that alarming to him?Just then, Damon came in with a glass of water in his hand."Bang!!!!!! Damon!!" I called out.Kendrick had just punched Damon hard in the face. The glass shattered into tiny pieces."The fuck, Kendrick!" Damon said, wiping the blood from his lips. "What the fuck is wrong with you?""How dare you, Damon!" Kendrick yelled, punching him again. Damon didn't fight back. He wiped the blood away with his hands and calmly walked over
Iris' pov"Your temperature has increased again. What the fuck did she do to you?" Damon asked with a hint of anger in his voice, his brows wrinkled into a frown.I stared into his eyes. Was this the Damon I knew? Was this the Damon who would also push me away, use me like a piece of trash? I should wake up from this dream sooner before I get too entitled to this treatment.I was lost in thought and didn't notice Damon rubbing my back with the ointment Kendrick gave him. I squeezed my fist, clenched my teeth, and shut my eyes tightly. I didn't want to cry or flinch in front of Damon.Beads of cold sweat were falling down my eyes. This hurt like hell. Couldn't he be more gentle? It hurt so much that I just wanted to lay my back on a cold ice pack."If it hurts so much, you could just cry. You don't have to hold it in," I heard Damon suddenly mention.Staring at him again, he had some cuts on his neck. His pink lips were also bruised due to Kendrick's punch earlier.I wondered why he di
Iris' pov I held her chin closer to me; she looked more pathetic and cute when she was sick. Her big ocean blue eyes were once responsible for my insanity, her peach small soft lips, her fair milk skin, and her collarbones made me lose myself. Each time she fell asleep naked, I didn't know what kept stopping me from banging on her like I always do. Today, I wouldn't let it go and would satisfy my desire for the climax. As for Kaila, she had the audacity to go as far as touching what's mine. As for those guards who saw her naked, I made a mental note to gouge out their eyes. Putting my hands deep into her shirt, I wanted to feel what's mine. She had starved me for so long; though her body still felt hot, it was better than before. Just then, I noticed her body trembling and her eyes teary. I'm Damon; other people's emotions aren't supposed to be my problem. Even Kendrick had misunderstood, thinking I was the one wh
Iris’s pov I was taken aback at his words,"Damon’s."How did he know Damon? Who was he? Who was Andrew?I stood frozen to the ground, my chest pounding so hard I could hear my heartbeat. I gripped the hem of my dress as my body shivered. I never knew until now the influence Damon had on me. Even just the mention of his name was enough to make my body go numb. I knew he was capable of anything, but I never expected him to still get to me,even after moving to a small town. These past few weeks, I had finally felt peaceful.Though I hadn’t had the chance to breathe in the wonderful smell of red roses or enjoy the view from the balcony or under the streetlight, I had peace,until now. Andrew stood tall, his left hand deep in his pocket. He rubbed the space between his brows. I didn’t want to listen to his blabber and quickly headed out to work. “Heyyy, Little Petel! Off to work again?” “Yes, Miss Jenkins.”
Iris’s povI woke up, stretching my numb body. The sun reflected off the window. It’s been two weeks since I moved to this new town,everyone seems friendly and kind.Thanks to the strange man, he had rented a little apartment for me, and I found a job.“Ohhh yeah, my job…..shit!” I quickly got off the bed and rushed to the shower.Since I started working, I was always being scolded for coming in late,because I kept oversleeping.Getting into the shower, I began washing up. As I was rinsing the soap off my face, the water suddenly stopped. At that moment, I heard a knock at the door.“Ahhhh….damn, my face!” My face was still covered with soap as I fumbled around blindly for a towel.Finally, I found something soft and wiped the soap from my eyes. The knock came again. I quickly grabbed a towel to cover my body and hurried to the door.“Hello, who’s there….” My hand froze in mid-air as I saw Andrew. He was the gentleman who had helped me out that night.“Hey, little girl. Sorry I came t
Iris’s povI breathed a sigh of relief as I heard police sirens coming in. They were so quick."Hey! Come,""Kaila, where are you?""Mum!""Kaila, my daughter!""Dad?""Hey! Drop that!""He's a thief!""Mum, I found you….I was scared..."My legs suddenly felt wobbly as my memories began to act up,just being the little girl crying sadly, looking for her mum. And the mother seemed to be looking too. The joy in her face when she finally found her mum..."Everyone, please calm down! He is a criminal who escaped from prison. Everything has been sorted out," the police announced as they handcuffed the person who had fired the gunshot into the air, terrifying everyone.The chaotic atmosphere cleared up as quickly as it had come,but another was about to begin. Thunderstruck loudly, accompanied by heavy rain.This place was new to me. I had planned to have a bit of fun here and get a little bit of shelter, as long as I left the mansion,as long as I was far away from him.I didn’t take any clot
Iris’s povI had just finished packing up the little I could. Since there wasn't a maid in the house, it was a lot easier to run away. Damon wasn’t here. No maid to stop me. Damon didn't lock the door as well like he always did,or David would usually help him do that,so I didn't have to jump through the balcony windows. I limped out of the room.I didn’t pack up clothes; they weren’t mine. I just wore a black, thin jean pant and a black sweater. Since it was 5pm in the evening and the sun was already setting, I didn’t have to worry about getting a taxi.The weather was a little gloomy, like it was going to rain, but not anytime soon.I quickly limped out of the huge gate and walked to the roadside, wavering my hands to stop a taxi,to just take me far away. I wasn’t familiar with this environment, but I was sure I would find my way out.I chuckled softly. I was finally free. I was free from the monster."Hey, little ma’am, do you want to go somewhere?" a driver asked as he stopped in f
Iris’ povI wanted more of Damon, but I also didn’t want him. This feeling I’ve been having lately,I only hope these aren’t feelings I’m developing for Damon. He was a dangerous monster. What he wants from me is nothing but a sex toy.I could remember his words: “You are nothing but my sex toy.” Kaila had mentioned the same.I want to lay obediently on the bed the way he wants it, but the pleasure he was giving me,his gentle touch, his soft words whispering in my ear...After dinner earlier, Damon stepped out and left. I was wondering if I’d done something wrong. I waited a little but fell asleep on the couch.Feeling like my breath was being held, I jerked awake to see Damon all covered in blood again.I had tried to grab him to help with his wounds, but he didn’t let me.Damon stood away from my body and took off his bloody shirt. I wanted him to come back, but he didn’t. He left for the bathroom. I climbed down from the bed, all naked. I tried to put on my clothes when Damon came o
Damon’s povGetting out of the basement, I had just finished with Julian. He would breathe his last breath in 33 minutes. I stopped in my steps and looked at him, then at the guards."I won’t hesitate to end the life of whoever touches my pet," I said coldly. With that, I turned my gaze back to Julian. Kneeling on one knee in front of him, I leaned closer.He was still coughing up blood. “Fuck you,” I muttered, then stood and turned to leave.It was the last.I was covered in blood,Julian’s blood. I had hit him countless times with the metal rod. After watching the CCTV footage of him tutoring Iris, I couldn’t wait for the next day to torture him.As I watched the footage, Julian placed a glass of cold water on Iris's breast through her dress. She struggled out of his grip, but Julian pulled her back in place and even dared to hit her for not cooperating.He grabbed her lips, claiming them as his own, and dared to bite and kiss her, intertwining her tongue with his. I felt like tearin
Damon’s povI walked into the basement,it was as early as 2 a.m.Dragging a heavy metal rod on the floor, I strolled toward the basement where Julian was locked up.“Motherfucker,” Julian cursed as we locked gazes.“Backstabber,” I responded, chuckling. I held the metal rod tight against the wall as I lit up a cigarette. It was an attitude for me.I smoke before and during a torture. The screams and gun sounds were therapeutic.I glanced at Julian again, sizing him up with my eyes. His face was covered with traces of blood. His fair, white skin now bruised. His hands were tied against the metal chain.“I will make sure to bring you down,” Julian said, then paused and laughed loudly. “You're worth nothing without me, you know? And yes,I’ve given the Zch…..”“Ahhhhhh!” Before he could complete his words, I hit him directly in the groin, earning a loud scream from him.“Giving Zach access was a brave move, Julian. I had thought you’d learned enough,” I said in disappointment.“You mother
Damon’s povI sighed deeply, running my hands through my hair. I was only lying quietly for a second, and she got all panicked to the point where she had a panic attack.I stared at her sleeping figure in the bed , she looked like a fairy. I had finally calmed her down after several mutterings of things I’ve never said in my life.I went to the bathroom, talking to myself, and placed my back under the cold shower. The blood mixed with the water as it flowed down. This was better than Kendrick.I walked into the kitchen, where she had left her unprepared meal before I abducted her.“Shit… how do I continue this?” I asked aloud, staring at different recipes spread across the marble counter. I really needed to bring back my maids.I punched the marble hard, just realizing Kendrick had said the exact same thing before he left.Rolling up my sleeves, I did whatever came to mind. I knew it would come out well,there’s nothing I begin that I don’t finish excellently.I placed the dumplings ba
Iris’ PovI stopped in my tracks. Was that really Damon? Was that who just apologized to me? I pinched myself a little to make sure I wasn't daydreaming. Damon, the monster who just wanted to torture me to death,just apologized? I must have heard wrongly, I said inwardly as I pulled down the doorknob to leave."I'm sorry, little Iris, I'm Sorry" he repeated, his voice calm yet authoritative,very firm, like he was clenching his teeth between words.I took my hands off the doorknob as I turned to look at him. He was on his knees on the bed, his head bowed. His hands were clenched into tight fists, his veins bulging.What was wrong with him? I walked a little closer. I could hear my heart pounding in my chest. But what worse has Damon not done? I guess choking me was really the worst.Just as I was about to leave, I caught sight of the red stain on the back of his shirt. I hadn’t noticed it earlier.I had just remembered he had a back injury earlier, when Kendrick was cleaning it up. I h
