Iris looked at herself in the mirror, as she gets ready for work. She is wearing beige high-waisted regular-fit pants and matched them with a very plain white shirt. Her hair was tied in a loose ponytail.

A watch in one hand and a gold bracelet in the other, for the shoes, she went for a transparent platform flat. Which was both casual and professional.

Confident with her outfits her gaze stooped at her face, she tried to hide the bags under her eyes but, seems like she failed at it.

Her thoughts were about to wander to the reason for her swollen eyes, but she knew better than to do that. Those thoughts will only bring anguish and depression, that she cannot bare.

Yesterday when Ethan dropped her home, Iris opened her apartment doors only to find her son sleeping on the couch as his head was on Blair's lap, who was running fingers through his hair.

As Blair saw Iris, she asked her to be quiet so she can wake Xan up.

    Iris's POV I opened my mouth to answer Xander about his inappropriate behavior, but before I could do so, we both heard the door knob turn. With the same speed he pulled me closer, he drove me away. I composed myself. " Iris, here you are and I thought will be late," saying Ethan took quick steps toward me, and out of habit gave me a tight hug and kiss on my forehead. "You ok?" he whispered asked. I know he wanted to make sure, after seeing me so tired last night. "Yeah, I am. " I said assuring him. Ethan hugged me back, but a throat clear made him pull away from me. "Mr. Russo. " Ethan greeted him in a clipped tone. Something tells me, Ethan is not pleased with his presence. There is no hatred but at the same time, I can see him being a little indifferent toward Xander. The way he so formally greeted him, without a smile and then his tone, was so... I don't know, but it was not the tone you use with your business partner. I mean he didn't even try hiding his

    I fucking want to kill someone. Squeezing the pen in my hand, I glared at the man sitting across from me. If looks could kill, then this man would have been six feet under the ground. And for a change this time my anger is not directed toward Ethan. I am angry with a bald man, with one foot on earth and the other in the grave kinda old man, or I say a pervert, boggling shamelessly at Iris. He is shameless enough, to not even try to hide his dirt gaze. From the moment we entered he had his eyes fixed on her, as Iris is going around the table, placing the required papers needed for the meeting, he has his fixed on her ass. And if he soon, doesn't take his eyes off her, I am gonna poke this freaking pen in his eyes. But why Alexander Russo? My subconscious asked the 100th time and I have no fucking answer to that question. Why I feel this way toward Iris, is a mystery to me.

    Iris's POV I stood at the door. While Xander paced around the office angrily.Before, I came with the thought to calm him down, but now I have no clue, how. Calming Xander was not something that I don know. Of anything for him, my mere presence was enough to calm him down. But there is a difference between this Xander and the Xander I knew. They are the same person, but still different for me. At last, I was enough for Xander to calm down, because I meant the world to him, he may be been chaos for the world, but he felt calm in my arms. I was his sanctuary, where he felt surrounded by serenity. But this Xander is Alexander Russo, to him, I am a challenge or a stranger, I don't know. But what I am sure of is, I am not the person who knows, how to calm him down. My once confident steps are now frozen and hesitant.

Looking continuously at her door. What the hell are they taking so much time for? "Can you stop, pacing like this is not gonna, speed things up. You are giving me a headache." Annoyed, Ethan complained. " Then stop looking at me," I answered hoarsely. Since the moment we arrived, he has his eyes fixed on me as if he is decoding something, looking at me, which is going to answer all the question swimming in his eyes. I am not blind, I am just ignoring his questioning looks. Because that's the last thing I care about. I don't know, what is stopping him from bombarding me with questions, he has all the rights, but he is not. That is making me both curious and angry.

    I don't know how, I try resisting every time but still end up in this situation. Knowing very well, once I am here then there will be no part of me that will try to back down. Xander's fingers were circling my hips in a very father-like touch, he is only applying enough pressure to let me feel every inch of his touch.

Still, I feel no control over myself.
