IRIS

I sniffled for the millionth time, took a paper towel and blew my nose before throwing it into the bin where the rest of its comrades were. After I arrived at Meera's home which was just as grand as Les' house, I was assigned a room to stay in and had been there, crying all night and into the morning.

Thoughts of Les with Taylor, making love to her just the way he did to me made me want to destroy something.

I hate him.

I think I do. I don't know. I want to. I have to.

I groaned as my head hammered terribly and rolled on my back in bed. Despite it being the late evening of the next day, my room was plunged into darkness.

Meera had tried to boost my mood by giving me a tour of the house and chit chatting a bit over breakfast while I pushed my food around. Eventually, she had to work and I retired to my room to resume my sulking.

Now looking at the time, I realized it was around four in the evening and I still didn't feel any better. A soft knock on the door and shortly afte

    IRIS“Put me down!” I yelled as Les forced me towards the exit of the club. He had wasted no time in throwing me over his shoulder and carrying me out of the dancing area, despite Hilda's and Meera's attempts to stop him. “Seriously, put her down, Les.” Hilda said, somewhere behind me. She had followed us from the dancing area while Meera went to call for help.Les slowed to a stop just a few meters to the exit. “Hilda, get out of my way. I don’t want to hurt you.” Les said in an icy cold manner. “Well, you'll have to do just that because you're not leaving here until you let my best friend go.”“That's right.” Roscoe's deep voice boomed, somewhere to my right. “Put her down, Les. Things don't have to get ugly.” “And If I don't?”Immediately, I heard a flurry of steps and the clicking of several guns, which meant Roscoe's men had Les surrounded. “Is that supposed to scare me?” Les asked in a slightly amused tone, and then I heard another array of commotion. Craning my neck to the s

    LESThe moment I entered my car and left the club, it took a total of ten minutes to hack into all the cameras at the club and even the ones at Roscoe’s estate. I watched as Iris left the club shortly after with Hilda and her new friend. Iris had seemed reluctant to accept my deal, instructing her not to have any other man in her life. I scoffed to myself and shook my head. Did she really think that I would let some random good for nothing man touch what's mine?If she did, then she has another thing coming. Luckily for her, she later accepted my deal on the condition that I also wouldn't have anything to do with another woman and the moment she found out, all bets were off, and I would lose any claim I had to her. I bet she thinks I am the type of man who would slip up and let my status drive me to promiscuity. She has no idea that I have been through almost all kinds of sexual debauchery and had my fill of women. Nothing can faze me or make me look away from her. Am I selfish, t

    IRISI can't write. The realization settled on me like a wet blanket, causing me to shiver from time to time. It'd been a while since the club incident happened, and after that, I had gone for the interview at Hollow - a reputable magazine brand with influence abroad. Days later, I had received an email informing me that I was one of the top candidates listed for the position and I was to write a piece on a certain topic and have it submitted by a stipulated period of time. Now, I was excited to get the news, which meant that I had the chance to finally start building my life back up again. But my excitement didn't last. When I sat down behind the computer to write something, I came up blank. Of course, what did I expect? I hadn't written any pieces in close to a year, and I hadn't even practised before applying. Having experienced and knowing how to battle writer's block, I tried all the tactics I usually used as a journalist and came up short.And the more time passed with the cu

    IRISStaring back at me was Les…with a broken nose. “What…what happened to you?”His eyes widened as he snorted. “Oh this?” He pointed at it. “I got my nose broken.”“I can see that but how? Were you mugged?”Les’ eyes narrowed at me. “Do you really think I can be mugged?”There was something about the way he said it that made me remember that he is the predator in the streets and anyone stupid enough to mug him would be very unfortunate. “So how did you get your nose broken?”“Does it really matter?”“Yea?”“Why?”I frowned. “What do you mean why? Can't I care?”He ran a hand through his hair. “So you admit that you care about me.” “I never said I didn't.” He sighed and the golden sunlight streaming into his office hit his face at just the right angle to make him look like an unreal angel. “So why won't you come home?” He said and for a moment, his eyes, now hazel, reflected a flash of pain. I sighed and shook my head as I looked at the scenery of the garden. “That's because it

    LESMy latest instagram post had garnered over five hundred thousand likes and around seventy thousand comments asking who the woman in the photo I just posted was and if Les the Billionaire was finally settling down. It was the end of another day at the office and I was exhausted to the bone. Yesterday, I had taken Iris to an aquarium in Brooklyn to see the fish. During the early days of discovering her, I had scoured her social media for any sort of information that I could find and had learnt she loved the beach and sea animals. In fact, at some point she wrote a piece advocating for an endangered species in the Hawaii terrain and had a gallery of pictures of her swimming with dolphins and on one occasion posing with a shark. So her love for sea animals ran deep. Hence, my idea of bringing her here. And it was worth it. Iris had been captivated from the start, instantly pointing out fish species and giving random information about them. I had intended for us to watch the whales

    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

    IRISI spun in my work chair for the hundredth time and when I still couldn't figure out my assignment, I slammed my laptop shut and let out a strangled groan. Letting my head fall to my hands, I squeezed my eyes shut wondering why I couldn’t write. The issue wasn't the fact that I wasn't well versed in this industry. I had written dozens of articles like this during an early time in my career before I discovered investigative journalism. I just didn't know why I was experiencing a block now. “Is everything alright?”I snapped my head up to see Meera watching me with concern. Checking the wall clock, I realized it was around three p.m which was the usual time Meera came back from work. “Yea. Everything is fine.” I smiled and leaned back in my seat. “I saw you slam your laptop, Iris.” She took a seat opposite me. “That doesn't seem fine to me.”I sighed and let my shoulders sag before proceeding to let her in on my struggle with my writing. “I can't bring out a single word and tomo

    IRISShortly after Meera and I got back home, a package arrived for me with a card and a single rose. Accepting the package, I took it in and first of all picked the card. “In all the colors the world has to offer, red looks enchanting on you. I'd love to see you in this date. With anticipation, Les.”Rolling my eyes, I kept the card to the side and untied the ribbon holding the box together. When I lifted the lid, I found a small black box inside on top of a red dress. A small gasp left my lips when I brought out the fabric and felt how soft it was. It was so soft, it felt like a dream. Carefully putting it aside, I opened the small black box and almost fainted. Inside was one of the most expensive jewelry I had ever seen. Immediately I grabbed my phone and dialed his number. It rang twice before he picked it up. “Hello Bunny. Like my gift?”“This jewelry is too expensive. The dress. Everything is too much!”“Not really, Bunny. Besides, I'd like to see you dressed to the nines wh

    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

    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.
