IRIS

The roar of the helicopter blades filled the air as we soared over the breathtaking Swiss landscape, my hands bound tightly behind my back, the rough rope digging into my skin with every jostle of the aircraft. I stared out of the window, my heart heavy with worry for my newborn babies and for Les, wondering if I would ever see them again.

The memories of their sweet faces, their tiny hands reaching out to me, flooded my mind, threatening to overwhelm me with longing and despair. I couldn't bear the thought of being separated from them, of not being there to watch them grow and thrive.

But as the helicopter flew on, carrying me further and further away from everything I held dear, I knew that I had to focus on the task at hand. I had to find a way to escape, to break free from the clutches of my captors and return to my family, no matter the cost.

I glanced around at the security men who surrounded me, their expressions stoic and unyielding as they kept a close watch on my every

    IRISI woke up with a throbbing headache, the dim light filtering through the small window casting eerie shadows across the room. As I tried to sit up, I realized with a sinking feeling that I was locked in, the heavy metal door standing as a barrier between me and freedom.My heart pounding with fear and uncertainty, I made my way to the window, hoping against hope that it might offer some means of escape. But as I peered out into the darkness, I felt a wave of despair wash over me. We were two stories up, too high for me to jump without risking serious injury.With a sigh of resignation, I turned away from the window and began to search the room for any sign of a weapon. My hands shook as I rifled through drawers and cabinets, my mind racing with fear and desperation.But just as I was beginning to lose hope, I caught sight of a heavy metal lamp sitting on the bedside table. With a sense of grim determination, I picked it up and held it tightly in my hands, ready to defend myself if

    IRISI had made up my mind. It was time to confront Walter and put an end to the chaos he had caused in our lives. With a determined spirit, I picked up my phone and dialed his number, my heart pounding with a mixture of apprehension and resolve. "Hello?" Walter's voice crackled through the line, his tone tinged with surprise at the unexpected call. "Walter, it's Iris," I said, trying to keep my voice steady despite the nerves fluttering in my stomach. "I need to meet with you." There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, broken only by the distant sounds of traffic. "Sure, Iris. What's this about?" Walter asked, his curiosity piqued. "It's urgent," I replied, choosing my words carefully. "Can you meet me at the park tomorrow at 2 pm?" Walter hesitated for a moment, no doubt weighing his options. But then, with a sigh, he acquiesced. "Alright, I'll be there." I thanked him and hung up the phone, a sense of relief washing over me. The first step had been taken, an

    I found Les sitting in his study, poring over some documents. He looked up as I entered, a small smile playing on his lips. "Hey, Iris," he greeted me warmly. "What's on your mind?"I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. "Les, I need to talk to you about something," I said, my voice trembling slightly.He set aside the documents and gestured for me to take a seat. "Of course, Iris. What is it?"I glanced around nervously before speaking. "I saw Julian," I admitted, my heart pounding in my chest.Les's expression darkened, his brow furrowing with concern. "Are you sure, Iris? Julian is dangerous. If he's out there, we need to be careful."I nodded, my hands trembling in my lap. "I'm sure, Les. I saw him watching me from across the street. It sent chills down my spine."Les reached out, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "Thank you for telling me, Iris. We'll need to be extra vigilant from now on. I won't let anything happen to you."I forced a smile, grateful for Le

    Chapter LESI was halfway through my sandwich when I sensed someone at the door. I could see the shadows of their feet but they weren't coming in. I assumed it would be Iris, so I continued my work and meal. Then I heard a loud thud and was instantly on my feet, heading for the door. To my horror, I found that Iris had collapsed and was now unconscious. Immediately, I pulled out my phone and dialed nine one one while also checking her pulse. I found her pulse faint and something strange happened within me. For the first time in years, I felt true fear. My heart began to hammer against my ribcage which in turn elevated my breathing and made it erratic.“911, what's your emergency?” I managed to stay calm and explain the situation to the operator and after listening, she informed me that she had sent an ambulance to my address and they would be there shortly. The fear of losing Iris became palpable and I began to wonder what caused her to collapse. Was this a normal thing? Or was s

    IRISWe arrived at the restaurant and, as usual, Les was the one to open the car door for me. I got out feeling like a princess and even more on an ego boost when Les took my hand in front of his lady admirers and proceeded to walk in along with our bodyguards. I felt like blushing, and I think I did, when I felt the heated gaze of his admirers on us. Even questions like, “Who’s she?” floated to my ears, but I couldn’t care less because I was Les’ girl tonight!Jeez! I better get a hold of yourself. Les is just a human being like me. I need to stop freaking out!The moment we entered the lobby, I saw a lot of people gathered with disappointed faces and disgruntled looks, but I couldn’t tell why they seemed unhappy. Paying close attention, I heard one of them murmur that the rooftop restaurant was closed.Disappointment set in because that's where I had initially planned to have my date with Les, and I was about to tell him that when a smartly dressed female in uniform approached us w

    LESI had never cared for heartbreak, especially when it came from the women I dated. I always thought they were being too emotional and most of the time, irrational and thus, I felt no remorse for my actions towards them. Now, watching the love of my life cry her eyes out and blame me for the abduction of our children did something to me that I hadn't felt in a long while. Sorry. Genuinely sorry. I felt pathetic. Like the ultimate failure in the world and what's worse was that, she was right. It is my fault. I should have paid more attention to the fact that Mary was a traitor. I should have left more security with Taylor. I should have known. I should have sensed this happening but I didn't. I wanted Iris back so much that I neglected the two most important people in her life….and mine.I stared at the picture I took of the twins right before I left them in the hands of a predator. I had intended to show them to Iris the moment she got freed but now, as she sat beside me in the ca

    LESAfter about an hour thereabout, Julian had lost six fingers and three teeth before passing out. Iris went to a nearby sink to wash her bloody hands and all I could do was watch her. Summoning courage, not sure if she was still mad at me, I approached her. Spotting my hands coming towards her, Iris stepped out of reach, looking everywhere else but at me. “Iris, look at me.” I said but she didn't. “You can't avoid me forever, Bunny.” That's when her eyes met mine and there was no emotion in them. “I'm sorry. I had no idea Mary would betray us. I thought I was keeping them safe with Taylor. It's my fault. I know but please don't shut me out. Hit me. Curse me. Scream at me. Hell, you can tie me to another chair and torture. Do anything you want but shut me out.”Iris's eyes became glassy, then she sniffled and wiped a stray tear before looking away. “I…” She paused and swallowed. “It’s not your fault Les.” She said, “I just.I needed someone or something to blame. I needed somewhere

    IRISAll feelings of amusement left me as things turned serious. I readjusted in my seat and crossed my legs. “Okay. Let's talk.”Les rose to his feet and offered me his hand. “First of all, I want to show you something.” Curious, I slipped my hand in his and let him take me upstairs. We went past a couple of rooms before we stopped at one and he unlocked it. Once he opened it, he stepped aside for me to go in first. Throwing a curious glance at him, I pushed the door further, went in and my mouth dropped open. One wall was painted with the drawing of an ocean and a red headed mermaid sitting on a rock in the midst of it. Then another wall had mickey mouse characters drawn on them and another had Tom and Jerry smiling at each other. In the midst of the room was a baby crib and I froze in my steps when I saw it. I turned around to find Les watching me intently with his hands shoved in his pockets. He shifted his weight on his feet - a sign I realize indicated his nervousness.“Do y

    LESThe fluorescent lights flickered overhead as we sat in the waiting room of the hospital, the scent of antiseptic hanging heavy in the air. Iris fidgeted nervously beside me, her fingers twisting around each other as she glanced around at the sterile walls."You okay, Bunny?" I asked, reaching out to squeeze her hand.She offered me a weak smile. "Yeah, just a little anxious about the scan."I nodded, understanding her apprehension. The thought of seeing our baby for the first time was enough to make anyone jittery. But I was also excited, eager to catch a glimpse of the life growing inside Iris.After what felt like an eternity, the nurse called us in, and we followed her down the hallway to the ultrasound room. Iris settled onto the examination table, her eyes fixed on the monitor as the nurse squirted gel onto her belly.And then, there it was. A tiny flicker on the screen, like a beacon of hope in the darkness. Our baby's heartbeat.Iris let out a shaky breath, her eyes shimmer

    IRIS:In a matter of minutes the entire living room was destroyed. I stood still in the carnage as shattered glass covered the ground and furniture became upturned. Les yelled every obscene word known to man. He went on to punch walls till his knuckles cracked and his blood ran red down the walls. Rick ran in with the other security men, confused but with their weapons drawn.“GET OUT!!” Les yelled at them. The men hesitated, especially Rick who looked my way and seemed like he didn't want to leave me with him. “Come Ma'am. Let's go.” He said as he approached me with his hand stretched forward. I had no idea I was vibrating where I stood until I raised my hand and found it shaking violently.The next thing I hear is the click of a gun. I froze just about to touch Rick and turned. Les had a gun pointed at Rick and his eyes were filled with utter madness. “Touch her and you die!” I turned to see Rick with his hands up, retreating backwards. “Sorry ma'am.” He said apologetically befo

    LES My baby resumes work today and I am not happy about it. I wish she was the kind of woman who was content being a housewife that loves to cook and wait for her husband to come home. Wait a fucking minute. Why am I looking at Iris through the lens of marriage?I wasn't a big believer in it especially since my father was shitty to my mom and didn't keep his vows. I feel the whole idea of marriage is pretty useless. I am already loyal to Iris and will never look at any other woman. She's mine. Forever. So why do I need to put a ring on it?I continued to wonder about that as I leaned against the doorframe of my closet and watched my Bunny wear a Wonder Woman panty and matching bra color. She turned slightly and my gaze fell on her tummy which was now the size of a small watermelon. I felt something but I couldn’t process what it was. To think that in six months time, this woman whom I am totally obsessed with will give birth to mini mes and mini Iris. I wonder what the babies wi

    LESI was in the throes of my own anger, but the moment I noticed the departure of my brother, my rage softened. One glance at Iris and she nodded at me to go after him, which I did. Entering the elevator, I pulled out my phone and accessed all the cameras to pinpoint my brother's location. It didn't take long to find him scurrying down the stairs to the ground floor. My brother has always been one to maintain composure in all things but now, from my point of view, he was an agitated mess. Pressing the button for the ground floo, I sighed and let the elevator begin its descent to the living room. Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like, if I had grown up with a good, normal father. Maybe I'd be some corporate guy living in a cute condo, married with one or two kids instead of having an irrational fear of intimacy and⁸8⁸⁸fatherhood. Maybe, I'd be a normal guy. But I'm not. Instead I'm messed up in the head, struggling with a trauma I wouldn't wish on anyone. Thank Go

    LES“I see you've lost all your senses posting that girl online.”I rolled my eyes at my brother who was cleaning his pistol while holding a video call with me. The sun had just gone down over the horizon, casting my office in semi darkness while the landscape of New York city came alive with colorful night lights. “I guess you can call me ‘crazy’. Crazy about her.” I smiled as I shoveled some Chinese noodles into my mouth with chopsticks.“What you will be, is sorry if you don't stop.”I stopped chewing and glared at him. My brother didn't look at me. Instead, he continued to clean his weapon as if he didn't just say something disturbing. “Why would you say that?”“Because you're being a fool right now. Posting her for the world to see, especially for our Uncle to see, is like looking into the eye of a python and spitting in its face.”James was right. I was usually a very calculated mind but lately, I have been getting carried away by my affection for Iris and may have unintentio

    Chapter 56:IRISOver the next couple of days, I continued to send out applications and even tried writing some pieces but I realized I was experiencing a block. When I couldn't make headway, I sat down in front of a TV and watched some cartoons. It was my coping mechanism back at Massimo's house and it's starting to be my coping mechanism now. Cartoons weren't always at Les' place either. I was surprised when one day I received a delivery signed to me and when I opened it, I discovered Les had bought all variations of cartoons for me to watch. Along with some T-shirts with cartoon characters on them. Les continued to leave pleasant surprises for me while I carried my one unpleasant surprise inside my body and whenever talk about Taylor came up, he refused to talk about it and everyday I became more and more depressed.If I wasn't writing, I was also video calling my Dad or Hilda. Now that I had a working phone, I was able to access my old social media profiles. I came across a lo

    IRIS“Can we still go about our day while we ruminate on this?” Les asked and I considered his request reasonable. “Sure.”I changed into one of the dresses he got me, and then we went downstairs to have brunch. All through, we ate in silence, and I hated it. I hated that I spoiled the mood between us and made it awkward with the topic of a child. After our brunch, Les took me on a tour of his mansion, and I was able to learn a few more things about him. Les was an artist who painted in his pastime, and I wondered how he was able to do that and still be an underground fighter during his teen years. I saw all the championship belts he had won and heard all the stories behind them. Then he showed me his car collections, the grounds which had a stable and two horses. By the time we were done that day, it was late evening, and we weren’t able to go shopping any more, but I didn’t mind. Getting to see a new side of him was refreshing. I got to learn that Les The Beast wasn’t really his

    IRISA cold shiver went through me as my father’s words sank in. “Excuse me?!” “Iris-” My father started to speak, but I raised a hand to cut him short.“So I was a mistake?”My father looked horrified for a second before he closed the distance between us. “No, no, no, no.” he said, coming to sit beside me. “You were never a mistake, Iris, and I am glad your mother chose to keep you.”“What if she hadn’t?” I sniffled and wiped a tear from my eye. “Would you have regretted it?”My father sighed. “I honestly don’t know. All I know is that I am happy she didn’t listen to me. Look at me.” He said, taking my hands in his, which in turn made me face him. “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me since your mother. You are not a mistake, and you never were. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to be a good father to you and give you the resources that you needed. I was fresh out of high school, inheriting a run-down port left behind by a drunken father.
