The Billionaire's Secret Obsession Chapter 9: It's A Scavo Thing
LES’ P.O.V I heard her swallow on the other end of the line. “Please hold on,” she said, and from my point of view, I watched her ease out of bed and head for the bathroom. I wished there was a camera there too. Maybe I should have one installed just so I can watch her. Some part of me, the decent part that I had created to overshadow my past self screamed at me that I would be invading her privacy. Then the other part of me, the one that made up majority of who I am and is also the one I try to keep buried doesn't even give a fuck about her privacy. She gave that up the moment she had that gun to her head. When I found the balcony doors open and my uncle about to sleepwalk to his death, it had felt like watching a bad TV soap opera and deep inside, I was rooting for the fall. When I saw the same wish on Iris’ face, I knew she was planning his death and I suddenly wasn't all for it anymore. If my uncle had died at that moment, a lot of things would have happened and it would not

LES’ P.O.V I chugged down a bottle of beer as I watched Iris turn off the lights in her room before going to my uncle's room to sleep. That's when I got up from my seat, walked to a table where a couple of knives lay and gathered them in my hand. My entire body was strung tight with the need to vent and I discovered boxing and throwing knives always helped in situations like this. Walking opposite a knife board, I took my stance and began to throw. After a while, I felt I wasn't alone. “I know you’re there.” I said, flexing my neck muscles while rolling the blade around my hand. “You've gotten soft, billionaire boy.” A deep voice murmured behind me, “Your aim isn’t what it used to be.“Oh yeah?” I smirked, before turning around suddenly and throwing the knife. It shoots through the darkness like a rocket and hits home with a sound. The room comes alive with light as the man flicks the switch. His face is what I see first. Carved to perfection except for the bullet wound scar ma

IRIS’ P.O.V I closed my eyes as the wind permeated my hair and whipped it around. The sound of seagulls and waves rolling onto shore, was like a lullaby to my ears. God, I miss home. I miss my feet in the sand. I miss running into the ocean with my surfboard, and spending hours riding the waves. I miss my life at the port. Once every month, Massimo allowed a three hour visit to my family under the supervision of his men. Thankfully, the man that drove me today was the same man that drove me the night I had my one-night stand with Les and was also the man who watched Massimo beat me a few days ago. The moment we arrived, he had informed me to be back by the stipulated time and not to make him find me. Elated and glad that there'd be no man overshadowing my family time, I had given him a soft peck on the cheek before rushing out of the car to wait for my father at the shoreline. “Pumpkin?” I turned around to see a man dressed in overalls, standing a few inches shorter than me, hav

IRIS’ POVI was a big emotional mess on my way home, sniffling and wiping my tears, while looking out the window. The man who drove me looked at me through the rearview mirror before putting his eyes back on the road.“You okay, Signorina?“Yes, Roberto,” I sigh and sniffle, wiping my nose. “I’m fine.”“You don't seem fine to me.”A humorless laugh escaped me, then I confessed to him. “My Father is terminally ill and he has to have surgery in a few weeks and we don't have the money.” Before he could reply, I added, “...and don't tell me to ask Massimo for money. I don't want to dig a deeper hole for myself.”“I wasn't going to say that,”he said, "I was only going to tell you how sorry I am for what you are going through. I have a daughter your age and I wouldn't wish for her to be in your position right now. This is why I work, so my daughter will not have to go through hardship.”A small bitter smile graces my lips. “You're a good man, Roberto, thank you for everything.”“Just keepin

IRIS'S P.O.V Fear broke out of me in goosebumps as I stood there, staring at the man in the darkness. He flicks a switch and the room suddenly comes on with light, causing me to wince at the sudden brightness. When I was finally able to look at him, I saw the rage in his gaze and I couldn't understand why. “How did you get in here?” I asked, confused and out of my element. Considering that I've been living with Massimo for a while now, my senses have always been on high alert. There was no way someone would open my door and I wouldn’t jerk awake in bed, yet he had done so and even took a seat, and I was none the wiser. This made me terribly aware of the fact that I might not be safe with this guy, after all, Massimo has warned me about him. Then another question popped in my head, that got my heart racing, ‘Is this Les or The Beast?” I'm looking at his face and he doesn't look like the kind-hearted person who arranged for me to have extra food every evening or the philanthropis

IRIS' P.O.V.My eyes snap open in shock and I really look at him as all feelings of sexual arousal left me. His hands left my neck as well as my clit and his eyes grew emotionless as I stood up from him. I could practically see the walls coming up in his eyes and I realized Les was guarding himself emotionally against me. “Why did you do that?” I asked, appalled.“Because he hurt you,” Les confessed, “I know he broke your wrist so I broke something of his too.”I could only blink in surprise. “You did all that for me?”Les nodded. “But what if your uncle finds out?”“He won't.” Les replied. “What I have done is untraceable. If he decides to investigate the fire, it will only lead to a gas leak coming from his own private office.”I could only stare at him in awe. “Based on my findings,” he continued, “my uncle has had past issues with gas leaks coming from the fireplace of his office. He was going to fix it but kept putting it off. So I used that as my weapon to destroy his casin

Chapter 15:LES’ P.O.V She looked up at me with siren eyes, and I instantly became a sailor lost at sea. She leaned in further until her lips touched mine and we were speaking a different language.Our tongues blended perfectly, not in a war for dominance but in a slow dance. The more she kissed me, the more I sensed her hunger which in turn stoked the fire within me and I knew if we kept going we might end up having sex again.I pulled back gently, looking down at her. Her gaze fell to my lips, before she shook her head. “Sorry, I got carried away.” She said, "I've forgotten how much of a good kisser you are.” She smiled shyly before hiding her face in my chest, but I had my finger under her chin, bringing her face back up. “Stop apologizing. I'd love nothing more than for you to get carried away with me right now.” I didn't say the next word, but I could tell she sensed the ‘but’ coming. “I understand.” She nodded, as her smile faded. “I'm still engaged to your Uncle.”“Not ju

IRIS’ P.O.V Ten days left until the wedding day, and I am a ball of nerves. So much so that I had begun to feel nauseous, especially as I sat in the living room and watched Massimo's older sister, Catalina, take over the wedding preparations with her daughter, Andrea.I watched them choose color palettes, table cloths, and decide on every other thing without even looking my way. Not that I was bothered anyway, it wasn’t as if getting married to a ruthless mafia Don, three times my age, would be the best day of my life, so they might as well carry on.My phone suddenly buzzed on the coffee table, and I was so quick to grab it that Catalina and Andrea looked at me. Ignoring them, I checked my phone to see a message from Les. “Hi Beautiful.” Instantly, my smile grew into a grin. Again, I found the women watching me, so I dimmed my smile.“Hi Beastie.” I texted back, biting down my smirk.“Wow. Touché. A Beauty and the Beast reference, I see.” “Exactly. Lol. How did you know?”“I read

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
The Billionaire's Secret Obsession Chapter 172
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
The Billionaire's Secret Obsession Chapter 171
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. You can understand how having
