Iris's POV Working with Xander has both its pros and cons. When he is not trying to kiss me and be my Xander, then he is a very good mentor. When his work mode is on, he takes no bullshit. Ooos a bad word. Anyway. One thing that I love most about Xander is his work ethic. I worked only for a couple of days with him but those days are enough to tell me why he is one of the most successful businesses. When he is working he is a maniac. He forgets everything even me. For example yesterday, I made a mistake, I mailed the wrong copy of the contract to an investor. And I didn't even notice it. But Xander did and he treated me the same way he would treat any other employee , he scolded me for my stupid mistake and told me to double check any contract before mailing . In just a couple of days, he taught me a lot about ins and outs of the business. Only if it was something I loved. Business is not for me. I liked what I did in, the last few days. But that's it. It is not my dream and
"Sir we are about to land." Xander's train of thoughts was broken by the voice of piolet. Nodding towards the pilot, Xander looked outside the window of his jet, he was happy he is back in New York sooner than he thought. Though his mind is not in the right space he appreciates that his trip was cut short and he can soon meet his Iris. All his ride Alexander was lost, in thinking, about why would Ava lie to everyone about going to London. When she never reached London. He can very well remember the confusion and shock he went through when he reached his office in London to meet Ava, only to be informed that she never came. A million thoughts of, why would Ava lie was making his head spin. He thought maybe she wanted to avoid, guiding Iris in business, as it's clear she doesn't like her for some hidden reason.But he is still unsure if it's the only reason. As he feels there is more to it. Because Ava is not some woman people can force to make her to do whatever they want to, not eve
Unknown's POV I looked at my princess as she sleeps peacefully in my bed, she is so delicate, so beautiful and so pure. No, she is not pure anymore. That fucking Russo tainted my princess. And he will pay the fucking price of it. What I have planned for him will give him so much pain, he wouldn't have ever imagined. And his pain will be my relief mantra. His sufferings will give peace to my burning heart. And while he will burn, I will wash out all the impureness of my princess. I will make her mine and no one will be able to stop me from doing that this time. I saw the door of my hideout house open. And just like a snap, I left my princess to rest while I execute my plans to punish Alexander Russo. Walking out of Iris's room, I locked her door and threw the keys in my pocket. Standing in front of me was none other than my trump card in this game. If not for her, Iris would never have been here. She played everyone so well that Iris easily fell into my trap. And the wicked
Flashback ---------------------------------"Who?""I asked who Jacob .""You won't believe." and this time when he said the name his voice was clogged, his expression pained."She was with Josh. " Though I wanted to soothe him, the shock I was in, hearing the name of the person that I never thought would do something like this, ceased all my senses.Especially i felt for Jacob. Because of the way he looks at my sister only a fool will not see the love he has for my sister. He looks at her the same way Xander looks at me. Like she is his queen. I wanted to say something but then a message from Blair took my attention. Iris's POV Seeing Josh did scare me, but, I wasn't surprised. Because after I meet with Jacob, any of this is expected.But what I still don't know is, why will he kidnap me, what will he get by doing so I know Josh for a very long, Ava, Nathan, Josh, and Jacob were all from the same group. They were popular and best of friends. I didn't know much about them un
Alexander's POVTaking two steps at a time, I ran like my life is just about to end.Reaching my condo, I quickly punched the codes, and entering I found the condo empty, with no sound.Frowning, I ran towards my bedroom, opening it, I found the lights, switched off.When I switched on the lights, my heart stopped for a sec, seeing the breathtaking view of Iris wearing red lingerie, covered by a see-through shrug. I have never seen anything so sexy in my consciousness.I kept looking at her. No words were voiced. My eyes trailed from her brown hairs which she had curled, her face natural, the way she knows I like, to be honest, I was shamelessly perving on her."Xander..." my angel whispered my name meekly."Damn Iris! Do you want to kill me?" my voice came huskily. The smile on her lips transformed into a cute pout. "Huh?" she was confused, "I thought you will like it," she whined like a baby, and that's my angel, no matter how sexily she dresses, she stays simple, due to her inn
Iris's POV When I woke up I found myself still in the same room. Only this time I was not tied. I was on the floor and when I looked around and saw the darkness from the transparent I know the moon replaced the sun. My body is aching, mustering courage I stood and went towards the bed and laid on it, eyes fixed on the ceiling, a lot of things are running through my head and all these thoughts has drained me completely, reason in no time I felt my eyes once again droop and I soon enough I slept again. I have been locked in this room, for 3 days. With no visitors. No hope. Every day I feel myself drowning in a pit of darkness, where I try to find myself but find no light to follow. The last three days made me aware of what people go through when they have heart-wrenching nightmares. Every time my nightmares are the same. I will see myself in the same park, wearing a pink barbie dress, smiling widely at my mom who brought me ice cream as the sun shine brightly above us and green f
Jacob's POV I kept looking ahead to the road, trying to focus. But thoughts after thoughts are creating so much havoc in my life that's making me want to pause things and just sleep. Simply, I want to run away from everything, that's happening around me. And it's not like I wanted to be involved but somehow I did, because somehow I became the center of everything. And that's not anyone else's fault it's mine. My feelings are the reason I am here, where I am supposed to...What am I supposed to do I don't know, I am lost. I don't know what my plot is here, I am just here. I am doing what felt right to me and I am going wherever my life is taking me. I don't know whether I will regret my decision or will be proud, I just know that I needed to make a decision. The decision wasn't easy for me. Because the decision I made, made me put the most important person in my life in trouble. The one person I feel everything for is going to be the person who will hate me for what I did to her.
Alexander's POVSeconds, minutes, hours, days, and now a week passed with no news of Iris's whereabouts.A week of me without my angel. A week of her being god knows where and in what condition. And a week of me feeling helpless and like a failure. One week of me constantly failing my promises everything that I ever said to her. Wherever I try searching for her I find myself at a dead end. No, where to go from there. It's like I am surrounded by roads but they all reach nowhere, they all are tangled, twisted in a way that once I start walking, I reach where I started. Clueless. It's all so messy that nothing is making sense. First Josh then Blair. And why Iris?So many questions. So many secrets. And I was so oblivious to all these conspiracies around me. Nothing is making sense when we caught up to Josh, I felt now is the time I will finally be able to be with My Angel. Finally, I will get answers. I punched him, kicked him almost killed him but still I am empty-handed noth
Iris's POV ------------------ 2 years later. Closing my eyes with headphones, playing Ed Shereen as an escape from my thoughts.Though it's not helping much but still a good distraction. Good duration from the aviation I am feeling because of this long flight. And also because I am an hour late. I should have been in New York. Dr. Iris Russo calms down, you will soon be with them. Dr. It feels so good to call me with the word. It's like my whole life and rebelling have all summed up into the small world. I am an official child psychiatrist now. And believe me, I don't think there was any job than this I would have enjoyed, I feel so great talking to those kids who have no idea of the mental problem they are facing. It feels good that they come to me to talk about their problems. And after becoming one I realized, only big ones are not the ones with problems, these small heads carry a lot of stress and burden and love every second of the job especially when they
I am going to end his doctorate career. I think angrily as I am kicked out of my wife's hospital room. They told me I am stressing her out, how can I stress her out, and if anything I am the one keeping her calm. They just don't understand but they will soon. And like I said I heard my wife scream and before I can count up there, the door to her room is again opened, and there stood he with his head now down and jaws ticked. " Sir, Mrs. Russo is not letting us touch her. Please." She grits the last word put and if I want this worried for my wife I would have smirked at her. That's my woman. I praise my angel as I walk past her inside but before I go I turned and my eyes widen, the hallway is filled with my fitness and family. Now I am the one feeling a little embarrassed as the doctor looks at my family and then at me and narrows her eyes at me. Instead of backing down I shrug and enter to see eyes looking at me angrily."How dare you live me alone!!!" she screamed so l
I was someone who always had complaints in my life. You can tell as much as I liked fighting for dreams, I was also someone who would complain if things didn't go my way. It's not my fault though. All my life since I started understanding things, I have been told that I am not enough and that I need to be better, and that I should be perfect. I hated being told so but was so little to argue about it, hence did as people around me told me and today I regret listening to other people. I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self that she is perfect, she needs not to work so hard, she needs not to be so hard on herself, that the world is a vicious place and the only way you can survive in this world is by being you. You are the strongest perfection that one can ever achieve. Because in this world where people walk around you with so many faces, you will shine when you have your own and one only. But all of that doesn't matter because now I am also one of thos
Let's just the little feast we had downstairs was not enough for my husband. And there are many reasons for it. But I will cut it down to, two most important. 1. He is as hard as steel. 2. It's our wedding night. So let's just say, my husband, picked me up in his signature way, wrapped my legs around his torso, and up to stairs he kept kissing and nibbling on my nipples. And a hormonal would-be mama is not gonna complain. Because let's be honest, I love every bit of it. The attention he is giving to my body is something I didn't know I wanted but now I know I have been craving it. My heart flutters, as my husband delicately places my body on the bed. Standing to his full height, he got rid of all his cloth as fast as he can. Usually, I like the slow torturous strip tease, but today I am so needy that I just want him to fuck me and use me like the slut he called me a while ago. And I don't have to plead because I and my husband are on the same page on this. "
" Are we done?" " No" I reply immediately looking at my new husband with a glare as I chew the pasta in my mouth, that he so deliciously made. Throughout the night, the guests kept us I'm busy, and I was so busy being the perfect wife that I completely missed my dinner. And where I can go for a day without eating, the baby growing inside me needs to eat. It's not like there was no food at the reception. There was plenty of it. And so many cuisines, some of the cuisines were my favorite. I should have drooled over them and should have pounced on the memo et I saw them. But that very moment my hormones decided to kick in, and even the sight of my favorite food was making me feel as if I want to throw up. And hence though I wanted to couldn't eat anything, except the lava cake. Which by the way is not enough to fulfill the apatite of a pregnant moment. The pregnant woman inside me wanted to throw a tantrum right there, the woman wanted to throw her legs and whine for
Alexander's POV I never thought hearing two words would fill me with so much bliss. But I am feeling it. It's as if someone has given me happiness in the whole world. For the first time unlike me, I want to jump and scream to the whole world that I am the happiest man alive in the world. I have the woman, who I loved like I never knew I was capable of loving. Today I have made Iris Brooke mine in all ways. She is my wife. " I do." the beautiful words that left her lips are echoing in my head like beautiful music. And I want to hear them on a loop. The words of the pasture are fading and I am hearing nothing my eyes are fixed only on my beautiful wife, who has the most enchanting biggest smile plastered on her face. But all of a sudden her smile turns into a frown, and she looks from the paster to me, as of waiting for something, I don't understand her sudden reaction and look at everyone, and their eyes fixed on me with the same confusion. " Dude you are freaking ou
Iris's PoV Dad and I were still talking when we heard a knock at the door, we both simultaneously turned towards it to see mom at the door, she is looking beautiful as ever in her lavender dress. As she is also my bridesmaid. Dad and she exchanged an understanding nid and smiled at each other. I missed this smile a lot. It's not the same as they use to give each other every morning but it is something. This tells me, that they did talk and things are working out. "Don't run the horses in your head baby. " mom gives me a knowing. Of course, she always knows what I am thinking. "We are trying," she whispered coming to stand in front of me and besides me. From the moment she entered the room dad has his eyes fixed on her, not for once did he tell his eyes off her. And why won't he, mom is looking beautiful, let me tell you unlike me mom is a health freak, she enjoys her junk food but never forget to exercise, and she loves doing yoga. It's her regular, because of
Dear Angel I was someone who never believed in love let alone love at first sight. And then you came and changed everything. You became everything to me. Your thoughts confirmed everything that I had, my heart mind, and soul. You don't even know when you had me already wrapped around your fingers. You were in my bed, sleeping with a divine smile on your face, I am sure you were dreaming something good, your hair was sprawled on my pillow and you had your hands resting on my stomach. You had me captured, and you didn't even know, and when the Trance cracked, the first words that left my lips were, " Angel" That day when I first met you was a special bit there is another day that surpasses it and it always will. It is the day when you were drunk, sat on my lap, and named me Mr. Handsome. That was the first time you showed me a piece of your self and that day it was set that you are mine only mine. As much as I am you're. Always will be. I will take what I can give
I shook the scene out of my mind. I don't want to walk down the aisle wet. Not until our reception is over. After the first time, I wanted a small wedding, with friends and family only. And there was no debate on it because Xander and I were on the same page and so were put families. Hence there were not many people, only those who mattered. If you start noting down lessons of life, you will realize one of them is, that your circle of friends needs not to be big, it can be small, but all that matters is people who form the circle, should be loyal and real to you. That's all friendship defines and I am glad about everything bad happening, I have made a pact with the best people in my life. Jacob was a surprise, but he is like most protective yet the most understanding brother that I could have wished wish for. From worst to best, he was by my side or behind, always having my back. No matter what situation I am in, one thing I knew was, he is just a call away
