Iris pov
The journey that felt like forever finally stopped as the Black Bentley car came to pick me up and halted in front of a huge building. It was a skyscraper—this place must be owned by someone super rich. Before I could grasp the handle of the door, a man dressed in a suit opened it while bowing.It’s the master of the guard who brought me to Damon earlier. I haven’t seen him in a long time.I held the flowing forest green gown the stylist made for me together and bowed to the guards as well.“There’s no need, young madam,” he said, his deep voice contrasting with the cold expression always on his face.He gestured for me to move further into the huge building. I clutched my dress tightly to walk, wishing I could change the style, but they mentioned it was what Damon had picked for me.The gown was a striking forest green with a long slit to my thigh and the back exposed, held together by a thin rope at my waist. I was eIris pov"Oops, my hand slept," she said with a mischievous look on her face. She seemed to be enjoying messing with me. I dropped the cupcake back on the table and ignored her, walking away to find the washroom. I needed a tissue to wipe the liquid from my dress. "Oh my gosh, did you see Jason?""He looked so hot in that gray suit.""Right!""He looks like the man I've dreamed of.""Hey, get your eyes off my crush. You're not even qualified to be with him.""Neither are you, with that cheap dress you're wearing and the heavy makeup plastered on your face. It's covering your rotten pimples and terrible mole.""Ahh, haha, hhhh. That hit hard."Reaching the bathroom, I saw several ladies painting their lips and reapplying makeup, while discussing and insulting each other. They were too engrossed in their discussion and didn't notice my presence. I grabbed a tissue and wiped my dress.
Iris pov As soon as I got out of the washroom, the applause grew louder and louder. It was like the banquet had begun. I quickened my pace to the main hall. A waitress came to me with a glass of wine, saying, "Hello, pretty miss, you should have a drink." "Thank you," I said, bowing slightly and taking a sip. It was non-alcoholic red wine. The banquet hall lights dimmed, and the stage lit up immediately. Another wave of applause filled the hall as the main host came in. "Hello, beautiful ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's banquet," he paused, smiling and bowing slightly to everyone. Another round of applause followed. I stood in a dimly lit corner, watching the stage. "This banquet is to celebrate our most popular, youngest, successful billionaire businessman who owns multiple companies across the countries. The CEO of Vyron Enterprise, he has taken the reins afte
Iris pov Under the bright, clouded light, Damon held my hands tightly, as well as my waist, while the slow sounds of the piano played in rhythm with the dance. Other boys and their patterns followed suit, while whispers of envy and jealousy from other girls filled my ears. Some expressed their displeasure, while others made positive comments; I guess everyone is indeed different in this world."Eww, of all the other girls, why her?" one girl exclaimed."She is beautiful, actually, but why does she have to be with my oppa?" another added."Hey, sit your ass down! I’ve told you he is mine, and when one is mine, he can't be anyone else's!" I wanted to yell back."Oh please, if he's yours, why then did he pick someone else? Ahhhh!" Their conversation was loud enough to reach my ears. I wished the girls who wanted Damon could come take my place. Even while I was in the banquet hall under the light, Damon was still bullying me.
Damon pov I sat on the balcony upstairs at the lodge, preparing to unwind with a sex toy. I undid two shirt buttons and poured myself a glass of wine. I had someone in mind to "torture" tonight, but Iris seemed to have replaced that person.Just then, my train of thought was interrupted by the sudden buzz of my phone. It was Julian. "Fuck," I cursed, annoyed that he had slipped my mind."I sent you on a mission," I said coldly."Boss, the mission was successful, but most of our members are gone," he replied, panting heavily."Shit," I exclaimed, regretting not going to the Factor attack myself due to business deals and hereditary claims."I understand," I said. "I'll send a private jet to pick you up."I hung up and smashed my phone on the marble floor. This was fucked up. I would have been happy about the mission's success, but at the cost of my loyal subordinates' lives?I cursed, remembering I was suppo
Iris povOpening my eyes to the unfamiliar environment, I tried to stand up, but was hit directly by the cold breeze. Just then, I realized I was naked, with only a piece of cloth attached to me.A cold towel rolled from my forehead. What was going on? Why was I here? I glanced around the luxurious, spacious room but couldn't find my clothes anywhere. How long would it take? As far as I know, a coma takes longer."No way, Damon. She will be awake soon, and she isn't in a coma.""Why then did she have no pulse?" I heard Damon’s voice, accompanied by increasing footsteps. My legs felt wobbly; I wanted to hide away.“You don’t check the pulse on a lady’s breasts; the pulse point is found in the wrist, at the side…”“Yeah, whatever with that.” The door was pushed open.I lay in bed with my eyes shut firmly, gripping the blanket tightly under the cover. “She would wake up sooner,” the strange voice I hadn’t heard before spoke to Damon. He spoke so casually, and he was the first person I
Iris pov I took a deep breath, trying to catch my breath. Damon let go of my neck, staring at me with a burning gaze. I wasn't surprised; he was a psychopath.I leaned weakly against the wall as I tried to steady my breath. Caught off guard, Damon pulled on my chin."I'm the only one who can bully you, who can touch you, who has full rights over you, and that's because I bought you. You are mine, and what's mine can't be anyone else's," he said coldly, anger lacing his voice."Hey, Damon," just then, the door suddenly swung open, and a familiar voice came through."Ohhhh shit," Damon cursed, his voice barely a whisper, only I heard it."I would leave you two, and yes, pretty sister-in-law. Hoping to see you soon."I felt a little warmth with his words and couldn't help but smile a bit. Though I hadn't seen him, he seemed less complicated compared to Damon.I was naked under Damon; this was the second time, and I was sure there would be a third."I would see you soon, Kendrick," Damon
Iris povDamon held onto my waist, pulling my body closer to him. I could feel his firm abs and defined muscles as he drew my head nearer to his. His warm breath brushed against my face, our noses touching.I didn’t understand Damon; he had been behaving oddly compared to his usual cold and dark demeanor. This kiss was my first, passionate and gentle, as he held onto my waist, pulling me closer as if he wanted our bodies to become one.Sadly, it was just another way for him to satisfy his desires. He was a ruthless businessman, a heartless man, and a monster. This was yet another calm before the storm; his next usual command was “strip.” Fortunately for him, I was already in my birthday suit, just the way he liked it.I was his toy, his plaything. Lost in thought, I forgot to breathe, feeling knocked out of oxygen as I struggled to free myself from his grip. Our foreheads touched, and I fought to catch my breath after the intense, passionate kiss.
Damon pov“Arghhhh! I couldn't help myself from groaning loudly in pain, waking up with a splitting headache and a fucked-up hangover.What the fuck did Kendrick put in that wine? I made a mental note to squeeze him dry the next time I meet him.Rubbing my temple to ease the headache, my mind began to recall… Shit, I have never kissed any woman, not even my numerous sex toys before Iris.Shit… Kendrick! I would kill that motherfucker! He even dared to call Iris 'little sister-in-law.' Who the fuck is going to marry her? She would only be my plaything for as long as I wish, before I decide to renew another after getting bored of her.I laid my exhausted body on the bed, trying to arrange my schedule for the day in my head before Julian brought it, but Iris, my little plaything, kept popping into my mind.I must admit, that little thing was so cute and soft when she was unconscious that she made me worry. After finally reviving her
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
Iris’ pov I woke up to see no one in the room. ‘Has Damon left?’ I asked no one, as I glanced around the empty space. This wasn’t what I expected. I had tried to stay awake earlier,to look at Damon. I had missed him a little. But why did he have to leave right after saving me? I mean, he was also injured. I hadn’t realized tears were already falling down my face. I wiped them away and stood up. “Arghh, shit,my back,” I cried out. The pain was still sharp, still crazy. I went to the balcony, my usual spot, where the night breeze blew through. It was cold. It dried my tears. It kissed my skin. The city was busier. There were car lights, hanging street lights. I gazed at the sky,the full moon cast its bright luminance over the city. Little crystal stars hung in place, forming different patterns as you traced them together. It was beautiful. I suddenly felt hungry and remembered the half-made veggies and undercooked
Damon’s pov"Oh yeah, Damon,before I leave, make sure to clean up the wound and change the bandage. And also…" Kendrick said as he turned to leave."Yeah, yeah, whatever," I cut him off, taking a sip of my wine."You annoying punk. Let's see how you'll call me back," he said, pouting his face."Ahhh… nice," I exhaled deeply as the red wine went down my throat."Damon,yes, bring back your maid. Your home looks empty," he said with a brow raised. I threw the glass cup directly at him; with a reflex move, he dodged it and the cup shattered, broken on the ground."Shit! What the fuck, Damon,stop this shitty play. Alright, alright, I'm leaving," he said, and with that, he left. I could hear the unique sound of my Bentley's engine as he drove off.I sighed deeply, stretching my hand. "Argh," I grunted,I had forgotten I had a back injury.Just then, a buzzing phone on the couch caught my attention. Staring at the caller ID, it was the board of directors. I hadn't seen them in a long while.I
Damon’s pov"Don’t cry, little Iris. This isn’t his first time being badly injured. In most cases, he ends up in my VIP operation room," Kendrick said, reassuring Iris as he continued treating my wounds. Indeed, it wasn’t the first time. But it was the first time someone I had tortured seemed so worried about me. I mean, of all people—proper Iris. For some reason, I was beginning to find her more attractive. As for Julian… I made a shitty mistake letting him go, even after finding out about his backstabbing. I didn’t hope he’d change. I only waited to see how far he could go. "Arghhh, the fuck, Kendrick!" I couldn’t help but groan in pain. Kendrick’s thoughts were clearly interrupted by the sudden sting I felt in my back. "What?! I’d been asking you if it hurt—you didn’t say shit, so..." "So freaking what? Hell, I’m the patient!" I snapped, frustration mixing with the pain. "Pfftt. Nah, you’re not," Kendrick scoffe
Iris’ povI lean back on the couch as my vision blurs, but I can still see Damon hitting Julian,so hard there's blood all over his suit. I noticed it the moment I caught sight of him. For some reason, I felt happy,genuinely happy,to see him.He had come back at the perfect time. I was already sure my life was about to end here.I never thought Julian, Damon’s right-hand man, the one who always seemed gentle and calm, could turn into a beast so quickly.I had fought him. Refused him. Refused to sleep with him. But all that did was earn me more torture. On different parts of my body.I tried to defend myself. I bit him hard. But it only made things worse. He tore my dress like an animal, dragging his hands all over me, grabbing at me harshly, biting into my neck.At the point of surrendering, the man I hadn’t seen in three months appeared. In that tiny moment I looked at him, he looked even more handsome than before. But my chest tightened the moment I noticed the blood on his arms and
Damon’s povThis seemed like a fun movie to watch. I had just finished with the Kim’s Factor;here comes the Zaxg Factor as well. There were three guards, all dressed in black suits with a snake attached to them. It was the Zach Factor sign. For years, they had attacked my dad unexpectedly, trying to take over my underworld and rule it. Knocking the guard down and snatching his gun, I pointed it directly at the one who had aimed at me. “If you don't want your member's gun, get out,” I ordered the rest of the guards. They didn’t move an inch. "That's pretty nice... for guards of the Zach Factor," I said coldly. I pulled the trigger. With that, I blasted the guard's head, filling it with bullets. Just then, the rest of the guards ran away. “Shit,” I muttered. I had stained my new suit with blood. Just as I pulled the guard away from my arms, I felt a sharp pain in my b
Iris’s povFuck. I couldn’t help it. I had underestimated Julian. Being with me was only a means for him to take what he wanted. What the hell? I brought him close to me, gave him everything he needed to push forward. I trusted him ; to an extent.I pulled my legs out of the ice water I had placed them in. Leaning back on the chair’s armrest, I shut my eyes as the memories of the Kins Factor basement began to replay in my head."With their zero skills."Bang! Even before I heard the gunshot, I had already felt the bullet sink deep into my arm.“Hell!” I cursed, firing back at the guard;my shots went wild, but with purpose.That was the first rapid shot I had fired since my parents left this world. Blood soaked my arm; the pain radiated deep and sharp, but I pushed through.My eyes darted across the chaotic scene;between damaged structures and scattered bodies. I was determined to take the place down. Fueled by old rage, I emptied more bullets into the self-proclaimed legitimate asshol
Iris’ pov I woke up, stretching my numb body that got stiffened due to my random sleep pattern. It's been 3 months since Damon left. He hasn't returned. I was so happy waking up every day, eating, watering the garden, cleaning up the house and watching my favourite TV show. It was like the best days of my life. Things were going just fine as it should. Sometimes I would take a relaxing bath and wish I was the only one on earth, no bad people that just want to hurt me and make me cry. I ran to the balcony like I always do every morning, inhaling the pleasant scent of red roses. I felt like the whole world was mine. I stood at the edge of the balcony protector, spreading my arms as I shut my eyes, inhaling the fresh morning scent of rose and letting the morning cool breeze kiss against my skin, sending shivers through my skin. The sunrise reflected through my face. "I'm so happy," I screamed out to the universe as my hair whirled in response to the breeze. I stood down from the b
Iris’ pov “Boss, there’s something you need to check out,” David said from the other end. “I’ll be there,” I replied, ganging up as I stood. Grabbing my trench coat, my gaze suddenly landed on the little woman; dressed in a tiny shirt and a white fitted top. Her hair was tied up into a ponytail, and her big ocean eyes were staring straight at me. Her ears were pink, like always. Her legs;fair and slender;matched the tiny waist that was on full display. She looked like a miniature hourglass. Her breasts weren’t just big;they were the kind that bloomed naturally, soft against my hands. Her waist curved down to those little hips. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t look away. I always ended up drooling over that body. There were numerous women I had been with, but none as unique as my little pet. None had lulled me like Iris did. She was crying again. I hadn’t even bullied her this time;she just se
