IRISAfter a whole conversation in which Les revealed some key details to Roscoe and his brother, I signalled to Meera for us to have a talk privately. So we left the men to discuss business while Meera and I went up to my bedroom. Once the door was closed, I drew her to my bed so she could sit. “So I went through the files you sent me.”“Okay.” Meera adjusted on the bed so she could face me. “Was it too much for you?”“No. Not at all. Uhm..” I swallowed, wondering how I was going to tell her what was on my mind. “So I did some findings on the girls, and in the notes, you mentioned that you couldn't find something similar that linked them all.”“Yes I did.” “Well, how about the fact that they all had phones?”Meera contemplated my question and blinked. “I really didn't think about that. “How did you know?”“Uhm…well. Let's just say I may have called each child's parents?”Meera's eyes widened, and her brows flew up before they came down in a stern manner as she narrowed her eyes at m
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
IRISMy onboarding was smooth and easy, and after meeting my coworkers and everyone else, I was assigned a cubicle to start work. The excitement that coursed through me was beyond what I could even explain or fathom. I was beaming from ear to ear as I settled in and booted my computer. My assignment was sent to me via email, and I got to work immediately. As I worked, I followed up with Meera concerning the case of the missing kids, and she informed me that they were halfway through having access to the children's phones.A bit antsy for results, I chose to focus on my work until it was lunch time, and I decided to grab something to eat at a nearby cafe. Just like Les had warned, his men were in the facility disguised as mailmen or janitors. When I stood up to go for lunch, I found two of them sitting in a car outside. The moment I stepped out, they exited their car and followed me at a distance. While I took a seat, I sighted them from the corner of my eye , seated somewhere in a
LESBy the time I was done with work, the sun was gradually beginning to set. I checked my watch and discovered it was eight minutes past six. In my home office, I had two large monitors on my oak desk. One was for work and the other was for…well keeping an eye on my girlfriend. Turning on the computer, I quickly clicked on a camera app that gave me access to the Hollow network. Unbeknownst to Iris, I had hacked into the cameras placed all over her office area and could spy on her at any given moment for her safety. I couldn't just rely on my men alone to keep her safe, not after those two dipshits tried to dupe her. I cracked my knuckles at the thought and sniffed fiercely. Those suckers would be saying hello to my fists before I'm done with them. Iris’ office came into view and their jaw tightened. Taking my phone, I dialed her number and watched her check the caller ID, and do the Trinity sign before picking up my call. “Hi, Sweety!” came her extra sweet voice. “Sweety? That's
LESTaking hold of her waist, I flexed my legs a bit and showed how to ride me. Gradually, she learned quickly and began to move of her own will. Mesmerized, I watched her heavy breasts bounce and bob matching her rhythm. The inner walls of her pussy gripped me tight, shifting my shaft over that sensitive spot on my cock while eliciting an involuntary groan from my lips. The pleasure that flooded my system was nothing short of incredible as I watched my Bunny smile in delirium. “You know?” She said breathlessly. “It's really not fair that you got to fuck a lot of women and I only have you as a notch on my bedpost. I didn't get to taste other men.”I arched my brow. 'Would you like to taste - other - men, Iris?’ My jaw tightens. She looks down at me through her lashes and hair covering her face and smiles. My hand thundered on her butt, hard and she cried out, leaning forward. “Answer me, Bunny.” I demanded, and slapped her butt again and again, enjoying her cries. I caressed the
LESBy the time I make it to my car, my men are prepared and ready to go. We gathered once more to scope out the area using satellite view and to remind everyone of their positions. Once that was done, we filed in our respective cars and drove out of my estate. We hadn't gone more than five feet when my men who were in front stopped. I radioed in to ask what was wrong, and the driver informed me that there was a car parked in the middle of the road, and it's refusing to leave. A car? This close to my house?Did the men really have the audacity to come find me?Vexed and furious, I grabbed my gun from the compartment and exited my car. By now, my men had alighted and were trying to make the car owner leave the road by aiming their guns at him.The closer I got, the more the car came into view. I stopped in my tracks. It can't be. Coming to the forefront, I signalled to my men to stand down, and they obeyed. Then I faced the car, “Are you just going to block my way, or you really w
IRISThe elevator doors were about to close when someone stopped it, and to my surprise, it turned out to be the blonde guy I met on my way to the office yesterday. Again, the elevator is empty like before, and it's just the two of us as he pressed the button for the sixtieth floor. I wondered what his job was because it was obvious from his rolex watch to his perfume and tailored suit that this guy was rich.“We meet again.” He said. “Yeah.” I smiled politely, keeping my eyes on the elevator doors while feeling his eyes on me.“Let me guess it comes with lots of cream and a little bit of sugar.”Confused, I looked at him and I don't like that he's similar to Les in a way in the sense that their eyes never betray what they are thinking but you know they are definitely thinking something about you. “Pardon?”“I was trying to guess your Starbucks order.” He pointed to the cup in my hand. “Oh.” My eyebrows fly up. “I'm actually having a Frappuccino.”His brows pulled together for a br
LESWill she do it? Will she stay? Any sane human being after taking a look at my victims would run for the hills. It's purely logical and totally human. I am not sane, and I don't think my brother is, so he's the only one I only ever show this side of me but Iris?With eyes that sparkle like dew-kissed petals in the morning sun, she has a way of captivating my soul, stirring emotions long dormant within me. Iris is the most precious thing on earth - a light that is too odd to be in a place this dark or with a demon like me.It'll be absolutely normal for her to go back up, and I would never judge her for it. I wouldn't even dare ask her to bear the responsibility of staying.I have gambled, faced monsters, and faced death more times than I could count, and yet none of those situations have managed to raise my heartbeat like this one. This is one of the most important aspects of our relationship, and I am afraid of what I'll discover. Still, I maintain a blank expression because I d
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

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. You can understand how having
