IRIS LOU POV

Without knocking, I opened the door right away, and as I had anticipated, another dagger flew in my direction. I easily caught it and gave it back to him, but he managed to catch it.

He said in Greek, "It's great that you thought about coming back," and he sat down. He then looked at me coldly, and I did the same, before I walked over to him and sat down in front of his table.

"Since you've already come back, do you accept your responsibility here that you abandoned before?" He declared.

Yes, I am, I retorted icily when I saw him smile. I will be the one to represent his constituency because this is what he has long desired.

My brother, who abruptly fled and is now missing, must be in this situation. When my brother decides he doesn't want to, no one can make him change the way his world works. More demonic than I am is he. Since my brother is a psychopath, I am unaware of every mental pattern he exhibits.

"Okay, be ready tomorrow because you're marrying Cleopard Devinson, and they'll be here tomorrow, and you can't just decline." He abruptly stated, causing me to turn to face him,

"I c-ant ..." I responded, shaking my voice because I knew that if he found out I was pregnant, he would become furious and his evil side would once more show itself.

"And why shouldn't you? Did you do stupid things again, just like you used to run away from your obligations before?" He made a strong point to me,

I spoke weakly and hunched over, but I knew he heard me say, "I'm pregnant."

“WHAT!!! Lou, say it once more!" He shouted loudly, echoing his voice. He got up and slapped his two palms on his desk as his voice reverberated throughout his office. I also leaped from where I was sitting.

I met his two eyes, which revealed disbelief and an indescribable expression as I turned to face him.

I told him directly, "I'm pregnant," and he reluctantly returned and sat in her swivel chair. I simply crossed my two feet while glancing at them. I can't look at him. We both paused, and I could tell he was still thinking about the revelation I had just made.

“I can't accept that the princess that I chose to ensure and my as it were treasure is presently getting to be a mother.” He gently said, I looked at him but he turned his swivel chair and looked at our family picture hanging on the wall, now I can't see him and he just turned his back on me.

"D-dad ..." I said softly but I didn't get an answer from him.

“I utilized to be fiendish in a front of you since that’s the thing I can do to secure you and let you despise me since I need you to be courageous and see you ended up courageous but you know what harms? You've gotten to be fiendish than me. ” He said to me as he turned his swivel chair away from me.

“You don’t know how stressed I am once you run absent from here. Even your brother vanished a bit like a bubble at that point I ended up alone battling for those individuals who need to require me down in my position of authority. ” My tears flowed when I heard that right in his mouth I just listened to what he was saying.

“I deliver you a opportunity and your brother subsequently you'll atleast appreciate each single time in this world. On the off chance, that you think I'm controling your life and your brother at that point your off-base I'm fair giving my best to secure the two of you I do not need to chance your life fair how your mother got slaughtered by my adversary.”

“I held up here for a year's and at final you comeback. And presently I'm fair holding up for your brother comeback and we are able at last be completed.” He lastly said before facing me and I saw the redness of his eyes was a sign that he cried so even more the tears in my two eyes were even more painful it turned out to be more than I felt at the wedding of the person I loved for five years and just cheated on me.

“D-dad I’m S-sor-ry for being persistent and didn’t indeed feel that your hurting as well I’m too bad in case i cleared out you alone here battling for our foe” I burst in tears while my lips trembling as i say that.

"You don't have to be sorry my princess, it's my fault that I let you despise me for your whole existence, it's my fault. It's all my fault. I just haven't been strict with you and your brother. I hope this doesn't happen." He gently told me.

“I need to know who’s the father of that child that your carrying in your womb hence I can cancel the organize marriage that I and mr. Devinson planed with his son cleopard.” He said, I cried even more because i wish i could personally introduce Eliot to my father but it's impossible. I was sobbing loudly in tears. That's why he approached me worriedly and touched my back.

"Stop crying princess, it's not good with you if you're always stressed" He said and hugged me, i hugged him too and rubbed my face on his stomach because he was standing while I was sitting.

"Tell me everything princess I'm listening" He said and made me stand up and mimicked his black sofa here in his office. When we sat down, he himself wiped the tears from my cheeks.

"D-dad he c-cheated on me" I said weakly and kept from choking because of what I was thinking now.

“WHAT! D*MN IT HOW DARE THAT JERK HURT YOU LIKE THIS !! ” He said angrily and i knew he was just venting his anger but he still tried to control his demonic nature.

"Tell what his name and I'll hunt him" He insisted to me.

“Father, it’s already done, he chose another lady who’s carrying his child and around the child that I’m carrying in my womb he has no idea about this and he additionally has no idea that I came from the EPHRAIM family I used a fake moment title so you can't track where I've been for the previous 5 years ”When I explained he took a deep breath.

"Then I won't send you to the Philippines again and I will not force you to marry cleopard. But you know him. He is ready to accept you because since he was a child, he has wanted you, cleopard is a nice man and I know he won't hurt you. The decision is still early and it's still up to you, they will come here tomorrow" He said.

“I'll think about it dad" I said just because my brain is a mess.

"Then go to your room and rest" He said, i nodded to him and kissed him on the cheek before leaving his office and so that I can now properly breathe.

While walking down the longest hallway, I observed the artworks that were hanging there. I was too busy admiring the hanging artworks to notice that I had already arrived at my room. I open my room's door.

When I entered, nothing had changed. It was still really tidy. I hurried to my bed and gave my pillow a quick embrace. I miss being here. It appears like I shall begin a new life here and forget everything that happened to me in the Philippines.
