I still remember her as the girl who waters dead plant because she does not know how to accept that sometimes things just have to end.

-Unknown.

Sebastian is an old friend.

I met him four years ago in Italy when he came searching for some good fighters to include them in his team. That's where we met.

Sebastian is as fucked in the head as one can be. But he is better in controlling his head. He does not let his emotions take control over him and that's one thing that I found impressive about him. His skills in the boxing ring are beyond amazing.

"Damn! You look so different." He commented and we hugged each other.

I pulled back and glanced around at the place, there are a lot of people. Seems like he finally succeeded in spreading the craze for boxing among these people. Though, not everyone here is to fight but to think that there are so many people to watch two people fight is in itself a achievement. People prefered

    She was a storm, sudden, powerful, violent, devastating and utterly magnificent. -Unknown. |I R I S|The person I least expected to be here is here. Wearing those same rings in his fingers, the one that stole my whole attention, before. Seeing him here only increased my anger. But as usu when I tool the first hit, I noticed the clench in his jaw. I saw the helplessness on his face. The pained expression that crossed his face. The misery I saw on his face gives me a strange satisfaction. Because it was the same expression I often caught on my face a few days back. It was the pain that I wanted to inflict on him now. I wanted him to feel the misery of being helpless. I wanted him to stand there and inflict the same pain on him, I faced once. But he understood it. It was clear by the way his expressions changed. I even saw Sebastian approaching him with someone, I could not clearly see. But after sharing a sentence or two with them, he l

    I look at you and I just love you, and it terrifies me. And, it terrifies me what I would do for you. -Alexandra Bracken.|L O R E N Z O|It was 6 in the morning when I woke up. I did not wasted any second before I showered and got dressed to run to the office, to see her again. I am obviously still pissed to know that she have involved herself in illegal fights. Though, she is good at it. Really good. Sebastian told me how she came here, he told me how she was seeking refuse in the pain. He told me that she always takes two punched before starting with her game. I wanted to tell him to not let her fight but I knew it would not work. He has respect for Iris and he would not stop her just because I said so. I have to think more about it but I am not letting her enter that fucking boxing ring again, ever. When I reached my car in the parking area, my phone rang in my pocket. I checked the caller id amd it showed the name of Mason. I quickly picked it u

    He was her dark fairytale and she was his twisted fantasy. And, together they made magic. -F. Scott Fitzgerald.|I R I S|"I can not believe you are his secretory now." Blake whined leaning on my desk as if he wanted the position for himself. Be my guest, Blakey. I did not bothered responding him as I went through the third file of the day paying attention to each word. It is already afternoon and there are still 5 files left. I do not think I will be able to finish them in office hours. "Did I told you that black suits you?" He resorted back to his flirting, watching me over the mug of coffee in his hands. He is free and he is using his free time to annoy me. "You say that about every color." I tell him with a shrug. Because at this point it is not even a big deal, it never was in the first place. I played with the pen in my hands as I read the third page of the file. Blake brought his chair closer to mine and settled down on it. I cocked a ques

    If you give me the slightest hint of abandonment and withdrawal, I would outdo you. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|I clutched the pen in my hand as I watch them, interacting, laughing and him getting close to her. Is it allowed to unintentionally push someone off the stairs? And, watch them bleeding through their head? I quickly divert my attention towards the files when I saw her heading towards my cabin with a few files in her hand. The door of the cabin screeched open and she entered the room like she owns it, not like I am complaining or anything. "Here are the three files." She dropped them on my table as she informed me. I abandoned the chair and stood up on my feets. She was busy setting the files on the table when I approached her, standing right beside her. Inhaling her addictive scent that hit my nostrils like a wave of fresh air. "Who is he?" I startled her with my question as she flinched at her place, placing her palm ag

    I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell, I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, and at the end of the world. -Madeline Miller. |I R I S|It is 7 in the evening and everyone has already left. No one is working anymore, except me. One last file is remaining and after that I am good to go. I even informed Tori that I will be late. But the thing is that I can not focus. Not after what just happened in his cabin. I can not believe I almost kissed him in a weak moment. Yes, weak moment is what it was. I can still feel the warmth of his body on mine, like it was always there. His scent has disappeared from my body but is still stuck in my head. I do not know when he would go back and on what day I would finally wake up without emptiness in my body and coldness in my bed. I do not know if there will be any day when I would not feel this immense pain in my chest like someone

    While they all fall in love with her smile she waits for one who will fall in love with her scars. -The dreamer. |I R I S|He looked at my lips panting, "I belong to you." His words came out in a whisper and all his anger melted away when he realised how close we were. His forehead connected with mine and we both breathed the same air. Our breath mixed together and he held me still, holding me at the place, refusing to let me go. He belongs to me? Did he ever really? The way his voice sounded so certain while saying those four words, made my heart tremble. How can he say that? How can he say that after everything he have done?"I can not belong anywhere else, Iris. I have tried everything. Drank, drugged, drove 100 miles away and even changed fucking everything to make my heart beat like it did with you. But it never happened. I just failed, all the time. But with you, it beats." He took my hand and flattened it against his chest where

    I do not know how to not miss you. It seems that you have taken up a permanent residence in the place that used to be my heart. But now is just a see of thoughts about you. -h.v.|L O R E N Z O|My heart breaks for the woman, who stands with teary eyes and a painful expression in front of me. I extended my hands to reach her but she backed away immediately as if the mere thought of me touching her sends a shiver of displeasure down her spine. Tears stream down her cheeks and I can not do anything except watching her. These are the consequences of my actions. "It was stupid. All of it. It was bad timing." She sobbed in between ber cries and my heart clenched with pain. A feeling of displeasure seeped inside my body as she announced all we had a bad timing. It was not. These are the consequences of my actions, it was not a bad timing. None of it was. Everything about us was perfect and still is. "It was not." I told her. She looked

    Come here and hold me. Make me feel better. Promise me I am good enough. Tell me you can love, even the worst of me. Specially the worst of me. -Unknown. |I R I S|My head hurts. And, it feels like someone is poking needles inside my skull. My eyes fluttered open and I found myself laid comfortably on my very own bed. But I do not remember returning home yesterday. I sat down on the bed and tried to remember of what happened last night when all the memories came back flooding in my mind. Everything, from where we talked, yelled, accused and finally gave up. Embracing the warmth in each other. Everything just rushed into my mind all at once. A frustrated groan escaped my lips at both the growing headache and all I end up doing last night. The door of my room creaked open and Tori stood there dressed in a yellow frock like a barbie. Except barbies wear pink, mostly. "You are awake." She commented the obvious and I held my head between

    What we lived through is living in us. -Unknown. |I R I S|"I have a surprise for you." Both Lorenzo and Rowan said in unison. While Rowan had a big ass smile on his face regarding the same, Lorenzo had an evil smirk plastered on his face. I stared up at them, confused. "What surprise?" Lucas asked on my behalf. "Wait!" Rowan exclaimed and quickly rushed outside the mansion, leaving the three of us behind to wait for him. He returned with two people on his tail, but he was blocking my view so I could not really see them, until he stepped aside letting me take in my surprise. "Oh my god!" The words left my lips when I saw Tori and Vince standing at a few meter distance.Tori was wearing a yellow top and black jeans while Vince on the other hand was dressed formally, like going on a business trip. I waited no more time before I rushed to them and pulled Tori in a none crushing hug. She hugged me back, happily. "I am so happy that

    An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind. -Gandhi. |I R I S|"Good morning," A husky and drowsy voice greeted me in my sleep. My eyes fluttered open and I smiled, contently, at the beautiful sight in front of me. He was hovering my body and nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck when I gave him a smile. His nose tickled my sensitive skin, pulling out a giggle from me. My hands found their to his back and I sighed in pleasure as he marked my translucent skin with his torturous kisses. He took hold of my both hands in his one and pinned them above my head. His eyes gazed into mine for a fleeting second before he leaned down and crashed his lips against mine, holding me caged under his huge body. "God! I missed you." He whispered against my lips before he shoved tongue inside my mouth, ravishing it. I was completely at his mercy and he was merciless. His free hand explored my half naked body as his hand travelled from my s

    Peace be upon those who hand pick their words, for fear of hurting anyone. -Unknown.|I R I S|Today, I am going to talk to Marcus. Because, umm, I kind of got distracted from the mental note I made last night. Anyways, I wore my white crop and black jeans before I headed towards his room. Marcus, I mean. Marcus' room is right opposite to Lorenzo's. The mansion is silent today, as if, people are still asleep. Most importantly Rowan. He is the only one who keeps this mansion alive with his cheerful screams when his favourite team wins a match, or when he running away from the other mam whoever he has pissed or annoyed in the mansion on the specific days. Once, I was standing in front of Marcus' room, I heaved out a long breath and lifted my hand to knock on his door. I waited for him to open the door while I thought about all the things I can possibly talk to him about. His sister? All the things starts from her and end on her. I was bu

    I want you. Your bones. Your body heat. The bite marks your teeth leave, to see how bad and beautiful those eyes look beneath me. -Beau Taplin. |I R I S|After spending the whole day together inside the room with Rowan, talking and watching movies, we finally came out of that hole at night, during the dinner time. Lorenzo, Lucas and Marcus were already sitting at the dinner table, waiting for us while the servants served the food. Lorenzo's eyes immediately came to meet mine as if he has suddenly got some super natural powers to know about my whereabouts. I descended the stairs with Rowan on my tail. When we reached the dinner table, Rowan was quick to take a swat right next to Marcus, who by the way looked very lost and was barely eating. I made a mental note to have a conversation with him after dinner. I sat down next to Lorenzo on the dinning table, his heavy gaze ready to burn a hole in my head with the intensity he is watching me.

    A loss is not always a lesson. Sometimes it's just a tragedy. -Unknown. |I R I S|I saw through my half open lids as he immediately rushed to me in the burning house. Vince."Iris!" He called out again but my body feels so hot and exhausted that it feels almost impossible for me to say anything. The wound in my chest hurts so much, "Iris, open your eyes." Vince patted my cheeks as he tried to get me back to my senses. Vince looked worried. Sick worried. Like with me, he himself is going to get admitted in the hospital along with me. If we would even reach there in time. "Fuck!" He cursed and if he is cursing then the matter is really worse. Because Vince does not curse. I have never heard him curse except the one time when Tori fell down the stairs. Vince was scared for her because he thought she is going to die and leave him alone. He might not say it but it is very obvious that he loves his sister so much. Tori is lucky to have h

Scott. |I R I S|Today morning, when I woke up, my day was already reserved for Ronan without my knowledge. So, I was waken up in the most horrible way one could wake up. That stupid human being threw a bucket of cold water on me. It not only ruined my precious sleep but also ruined my sheets as well. And, now he is sitting at floor in my room while the servant changes the sheet. I am in the bathroom brushing my teeth when all I wanted to do was sleep. "Hurry up, lazy lad." He yelled out from outside growing impatient after ruining my morning. With brush in my mouth I could not properly speak so I just rolled my eyes and went ahead to spit out the content in my mouth. I splattered cold water on my face and my eyes did not felt as heavy as before anymore. I am going to kill Rowan. Was my first thought since my brain

    I can not tell you how piercingly and endlessly I think about you. -Virginia Wolf. |I R I S|A new day, a new morning, a new start and a new beginning. I woke up after a long night that provided me with the enough rest I needed for today. Stretching my arms, I let out a lazy yawn and rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm. When my eyes opened properly, I looked around in the room I was sleeping in. The same room, I used before. Everything seems exactly the same, just a few changes here and there. I smiled at the memories that are connected to this room, fondly, before standing up from the bed.I opened the curtains of the room letting the sun rays enter the room to lighten up the dark room. Light reached almost all the corners of the room, filling it with a new yellow and glowing light. My lips curved in a cheerful smile at the joy of this mew beginning.ast night, I decided to give my relationship with Lorenzo another chance. Despite all

    I just want to be in love with somebody who wants to be in love with me. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|I took her petite hands in mine and looked into her eyes with tenderness before I spoke, "I did a lot of horrible things, Iris." I started, speaking with my heart because I do not remember remembering these words when I was preparing for the apology speech that Google helped me write. "I made mistakes. I disappointed you. I hurt you." I confessed all my mistakes, "But, I never meant to." I told her. "I am not trying to justify my actions here. Trust me." I insisted as if my world would crumble down if she would believe otherwise. Her violet orbs stayed focused at me while I spoke, not saying a word or interrupting me, "I.. I want to tell you that everything was wrong. It was so fucking wrong. And, you do not know how fucking sorry I am." My voice shakes when I say this and I control myself from breaking into a crying mess. Because I feel th
