The Billionaire's Secret Obsession Chapter 96:
IRIS“How did you-?” She asked, confused. “You weren't supposed to be back so soon!” She stated making me wonder who was feeding her information. “So soon?” Les asked, mirroring my own confusion as well. “Who have you been working with? Why are you doing this?!”“Maybe because I want to?” She shrugged aggressively. Les stepped closer. “Andy, you're not a killer.”“I could be. You don't know me.”Les stepped closer again. I couldn't see James because I was trying not to take my whole eyes off of Andrea. “Of course, I know you Andy. I watched you get born. I carried you in my arms and throughout your childhood I was your favorite uncle.”Andrea looked like she'd explode at any time.“That was then! You don't know me now! You didn't care anymore. Not when you got up and left for New York without looking back!”A pained look surfaced in his expression. “Andy, I'm sorr-”“Save it! I don't need your apologies or your pity. It's over for me anyway.” She turned her eyes on me and they har

IRIS1I sat beside Les, watching him as he cradled Andrea's lifeless body in his arms. His grief was palpable, his shoulders shaking with silent sobs. I reached out tentatively, placing a hand on his back, offering what little comfort I could muster."Les," I whispered softly, my voice barely above a murmur, "I'm here for you. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through, but I'm here."He looked up at me, his eyes red-rimmed and filled with pain. "Iris," he choked out, his voice thick with emotion, "I don't know what to do. She's gone, and I couldn't protect her."Tears welled up in my own eyes as I watched him mourn the woman he loved. "You did everything you could, Les. You tried to reason with her, to save her. None of this is your fault."He buried his face in Andrea's hair, his grip tightening around her lifeless form. "I should have done more," he muttered, his voice muffled against her skin.I moved closer, wrapping my arms around him in a tight embrace. "You did ev

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

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

LESThe look on Iris’ face does something to me. It made me develop the urge to hit someone or something and as much as I am opposed to hitting women, I sure feel the urge to snuff the life out of Taylor right now. My hands curl into fists and I slide them in my pockets. ‘Think happy thoughts, Les. Happy Thoughts.’“Is this true?” Iris asked and although her mannerisms were similar to nonchalance, I knew her well enough to tell when she's not happy and when she's upset and right now, she's both. “To some extent, yes.” I replied. “The only part that's not true is the part where she claims to be my girlfriend. I never gave her that title.” I said, throwing a glare at Taylor. “We had an agreement!”“Which is now void!” I said in a voice slightly higher than usual. I'm not used to losing my composure but this blonde bitch is starting to get on my nerves. Taylor scoffs. “I don't get it. You've been chasing this for years and now all of a sudden, you don't want it?”Taylor turns Iris.

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

IRISI had to wait till the dawn of the next day before going home. By the time we were done making sure some kids were reunited with their parents it was well past one a.m. By nine pm, I had called Les and informed him that I would be sleeping over at Meera's. He had asked why and I had made up some lie about Meera wanting a girl's night in. That lie eventually didn't sit very well with me, making me toss and turn in bed while it ate me up from the inside out. Surprisingly, Les didn't ask anymore questions but simply agreed, which only added more to my guilt. Les was trusting me completely and yet, here I was lying to him. The heavy weight of guilt continued to stay with me, keeping me awake until dawn. It got so bad that once it was five a.m, I showered and left with my security detail who had no idea where I'd been the previous night. That caused another form of guilt to overwhelm me. If Les finds out that they had no clue, I have no idea what he'd do. Throughout my ride home,

After much deliberation, I made up my mind. I couldn't let ambition cloud my judgment or compromise my principles. I stood firm in my decision and turned down the offer from my editor-in-chief. Despite the allure of a promotion, I couldn't bring myself to exploit my relationship with Walter Caine for personal gain. It just didn't sit right with me. I believed in earning success through hard work and integrity, not through backdoor deals and favors.As the days passed, I focused on my work, determined to prove myself without relying on shortcuts or favors. But the memory of Walter's unexpected visit lingered in the back of my mind, casting a shadow over my thoughts.Then, one afternoon, as I was leaving the office, I ran into Walter in the lobby. He greeted me with a warm smile and asked if we could talk."Of course, Walter," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady despite the butterflies in my stomach.We found a quiet corner in the lobby and sat down to talk. "I wanted to apologiz

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. You can understand how having
