Chapter 47Kidnapped & Trapped"Run Stella" Iris whispered begged while her heart banged in her chest, she knew soemthing was amiss when the three guys from Brent's went to a corner to discuss something"No it's okay. They'll leave." Stella was unaware and ignorant."I AM Rosie." Iris insisted."I..I .." Stella hesitated but it was late.The two guys were back and they grabbed both their hands tying them tightly."Leave... leave us" Stella begged."I am Rosie. You want me. Leave her" Iris said loud and clear.But they were no where to be convinced as they spoke to each other "Boss was anyways complaining of lack of stock. So two the better" the short one smirked looking at the two girls evilly.Iris could gauge that he referred girls as stock and they now forcibly picking her for human trafficking thing but why Stella? She could not let this happen.With tied hands she called Edwin for he was the last number she had sent text to ask why he wanted her address only after she had alrea
Chapter 48Escape PlansIris had lost track of time. All she remembered was it was early morning when Stella had dropped in at her place and after few of the clarification about Edwin's loyalty towards her about which she wasn't sure yet if she was convinced or not.She remembered calling Edwin in haste hoping he'd make it in time and save them but she remembered the sting when she was slapped and thrown on the floor and after that her memories were blank. She wasn't sure if the message reached Edwin, if he knew Stella was with her or where on earth had she disappeared? Otherwise he would have no idea about them as Stella's absence would be biggest matter of his concern right now. He'd surely be head over heels thinking that he lost her all over again especially when Stella spotted both of them at the mall behaving like toddlers. 'Damn me! Shit ! Shit! Shit!’ Iris hit her foot on the ground in frustration hurting and blaming herself for putting innocent Stella in unwanted trouble
Chapter 49Hopes & CluesStella had no idea how close Iris and her had become although they have just met as all she had been doing last couple of months was talking and hearing about her from Edwin How he loved to surprise her when she'd work in the kitchen holding her from behind lifting her from her waist and then taking her to their bedroom doing the expectable of married couples. How her blue eyes turn wider when he’d nibble on her neck and praise her beauty leaving her hopelessly moaning and longing with desire. How she’d get more turned on whenever she looked at his face on reaching climax begging to do one more time. How her smile in the morning lightened up his day. How he’d call from the office from his cell simply to hear her charming voice, which is like soft rhythmic music to his ears. How Stella ties and unties her hair just as a habit taking his breath away, The way she moved her neck while she talks making him fall for her all over again. And how he'll be distu
Chapter 50Heart To Heart"Our only ray of hope!!!!.Yes her brother! He's always around. He'd know it better." Edwin was hopeful for the first time since he received the dreaded phone call "But he is unwell. He is physically challenged." he gasped."We can get the sketches of the kidnappers done by her brother with the help of which we can trace them" Ben said expectantly for the first time.Edwin rushed into the small room inside which was clean, spick and span with single bed neatly kept with old but washed covers unlike the first room which was messed up probably by the kidnappers but unfortunately her brother was missing."He is no where to be seen." Edwin was disappointed"We checked the washrooms and the floors where there were no traces of forcibly dragging the wheelchair." "Lets check with the neighbors," Ben stated "But we have to be careful. We cannot disclose the actual matter to them."After knocking three to four doors they finally found Iris's brother being nursed by M
Chapter 51Failing Hopes“We are close”Edwin could not mirror Ben’s positivity, he was too stressed and simply said “It was dark then but I can try.”Ben immediately sent him to one of the departments to get the sketch done and started working on his other links too. Sometimes he'd call or check into the details. Edwin did not see him take a breath of relaxation like his other assistants did once in a while joking with each other sharing how one of them purposely soils the toilet seat peeing on the cover so that his wife has to let him take a bath first, other one added that he tires his wife having $ex in the morning so that she sleeps a little longer to let him have a peaceful time under the shower in the restroom without any knocking on the restroom door.Only if they knew how blessed they were with their spouses on their sides when they wake up in the morning.How righteous the saying is 'the one with the deficit knows better.'Edwin was fiddling with his phone trying to think
Chapter 52Home Smells Like MomThe night was getting longer with no sleep in their dready eyes for all their hopes were ruined.Iris tried to keep Stella sane by talking to her. She was an amazing person with soft heartedness for every one. She would get touched by each and every girl around and mentioned her biggest worry and desire "I want to rescue each and every girl from the place safely."Iris kept her busy gossiping about her childhood tales "me and my sibling were adventurous enough to sneak into our neighbourhood" Stella pretended to be entertained though she was restless "and paint faces of sleeping aunts, and even crack pots of our favourite candies and marshmallows using the same sauces to gel up the hair of sleeping beauties.""I was the only child and don't know how fun it is to have a sibling" Stella was loosening up and was bit better."I will tell you more" Iris wanted to keep her distracted "We were a naughty pair of siblings indulging in some menace or other like
Chapter 53Planning & ExecutionHow do you feel when you are jumping off from a very high cliff without any protective gears?Yeah! your heart would be like beating of only drums in a rock concert.So was Iris's as she witnessed Lizzie stepping forward towards Gomez.Lizzie had her fake seductive smile, her cleavage was far more than visible and she was moving her ass a bit more attuned as she surrendered to the fate.She hugged him as he kissed her a tight and non-passionate kiss then licked his lips and grinned wildly.Lizzie murmured something into his ears. To which he gave a thoughtful gesture looking at his watch and then scratching the hair of his chest fantasizing his evening and then nodded in affirmation.His eyes filled with lust as he held Lizzie from her waist dragging her along with him roughly.Lizzie folded her right hand behind as she walked ahead, her back facing them.She gave them a three finger clue opening her thumb, pointer and little finger signifying the succe
Chapter 54HelplessnessThere was chaos..Every girl around was fighting and screaming on top of their lungs.All the guards and men including Gomez came to stop that fight and maintain calm as it would create some tension in the silent nights.Three girls took that chance and moved out from the only door left open when the men arrived in to stop the girls from actually barbequing each other with their words and blows. Iris was sure that nobody noticed them sneaking away.It was a huge dockyard with loads of boxes and high walls all over. Also there were frequent noises and sirens of the arrival and departure of the ships.They were running clueless, huffing and panting lost in the area where all the directions they took looked alike.There were few workers around but they managed to sneak from them, trying not to take a risk if they were part of the gang.The loading and unloading of boxes were clearly heard with the swishing of the seawater as they moved and smashed to the walls i
Chapter 121It is NormalIris always knew that she loved him truly but hearing him from Edwin simply was enigmatic, it was a kind of turn on."hence” edwin sighed as he put back her fray strands of hair behind her ears “I love you and I love each and every part of your body even your abdomen where Isabelle rested for nine months" he smiled and went back to her torso.His hands moved around her lower abdomen creating tiny crackers insides her body the soft harmless ones that erupted every where making her moan. Just when Iris got used to his magical touch, his fingers were replaced by his tongue, which raised the level of pleasures the tiny crackers increased on their intensity forcing her to make cries of moan.Iris closed her fist unable to control what was happening inside her when he bit exactly below her naval, the magnitude of pleasure reaching new heights and Iris closed her eyes."No do not close our eyes" he said commandingly as he looked at her. When her dark met his hazels
Chapter 120Beautiful Love "I am sorry Edwin." Iris said. "I did not trust your love, I was scared and disturbed of having $ex with you" she looked at her toes embarrassed of what she was saying. "It was unfair. I knew I hurt you. I feel very low of myself."He cupped her face in both his hands, his touch tender making her lean her face, giving up her strength and submitted to him breaking all her wallsIris looked back at him as he repeated the words "I am sorry" he said "I should have understood, I forced myself on you. I should have courted you first, showed my love, made you believe in love and win your trust first that I do love you.""Edwin" Iris called his name; his words so polite and sweet making her heart melt. Iris was not used to something like this and couldn't believe that this was happening. She wanted to stop him, so that it does not get washed away. "With all the hardships in my life somewhere I had accepted happiness is curse for me and I cannot have it and so" s
Chapter 119Picture PerfectIris turned around to see Edwin and a red blush embraced her face."Umm... I guess I am early." Iris said to cut the intense silence between them.Edwin complimented me. He said I look pretty.I am blushing!"No you are on time." He offered his hand for Iris to take and she did.He walked with her at the start of the first painting.He pressed her hand softly making her look at him.The innocent grin in his hazels made Iris lock her gaze at him. He raised his eyebrows gesticulating something. Iris was so lost in his handsome face that was full of love for her that she couldn't decipher his actions.He put both his hands on her shoulders and turned her around pushing towards the first painting from the row.The painting was covered with a netted curtain. Edwin lifted his neck asking her to undo the curtains.Iris looked around as if she was stealing from a departmental store. I mean who was she to unveil somebody else's property?But Edwin gave another
Chapter 118Date NightEdwin...Iris sighed... She was behaving like a teenager in cliché' love.After the day she let her fears out to Edwin, he'd been distant. He never shouted or lost temper.He'd even polite and normal with Isa and her too.Sometimes Iris wondered if she had kept her mouth shut the other day, things would have been different.I should have tried on my own, I shouldn't have bothered him. I could have made excuses but I couldn't lie to him direct on the face..Again the way he asked, it felt that he cared and so Iris let the doors of her insecurities wide open in front of him.For better or worse... it's yet to decipherOtherwise she believed he would have easily guessed it out. Exactly like he guessed that something was seriously wrong within Iris and their relationship.Probably Iris's confession the other day made him realize what she was earlier and now What if he loathed me, felt disgusted with the thoughts of having $ex repeatedly with a prostitute.' Negati
Chapter 117I Am Not A Virgin"You are in love." Twain couldn’t be happier, he was smiling from ear to ear."I do?' Edwin spoke for himself "I don't know how but every time I shout at Iris with an attempt to hurt her so that she despises me and walks out of my life, I feel the pain, ." He shuddered at the memory "Her eyes that'd turn glassy for a fraction of a second and jump back to normal again hurts deep in my heart.I cannot hurt her. Ever""You two good now?" Twain could see the answer on Edwin's face but still he asked "She looked so pretty in the morning when she was showering all her love on Isabelle, the way she looked at Isabelle, helped with her tiny feet to wear those shoes, the patience she was portraying when Isa was showing her tantrum throwing her shoes away every time she tried to put them on her. My heart constricted with a strong feeling for her." Edwin smiled faintly "That feeling made me realize that I was doing what Stella wanted to do. I was falling for her but
Chapter 116Can We Fall In Love Twice?Edwin held her from shoulders, his grip tight enough to hurt as he pulled Iris making her look at his eyes which were not furious; they were confused."Hate you... tell me how do I hate you Iris? Tell me? I tried to hate you. I told myself Stella didn't fight her disease because she had YOU.' He stressed on the last word and then loosened the painful grip. Iris's hands brushed the place he held tight to rub away the pain.But her eyes and ears focused on the man who was her legally wedded husband.For the first time the authority of his voice made her realize he was her husband"I want to hate you because you agreed to sleep with me. I want to hate you because you loved me even when you knew I was married and you could never have me. I tried to hate you." His voice soft now and his hands closed to her, his fingers brushing her cheeks for a second and then he moved the strand hair on the face behind her ears.He moved closer giving a short peck o
Chapter 115Hate Me Like You DoIsabelle turned one year and six months today. She was the sweetest child Iris had ever seen, not that she had seen much of children in her life but still Isabelle was the best and she loved every bit of her. She gave meaning to her existence, she was heir to my unconditional maternal love, and she was her world.Today when it was time for Edwin to take Isabelle for a morning stroll, Iris was playing with her trying with the new jumpsuit and shoes that she had brought for her especially for a morning walk.Edwin saw Iris with her and cringed; he was getting restless to take Isabelle in his arms. He got so impulsive that he shouted at Iris that even Isabelle got scared and leaned her shivering body close to her.She was so scared that she hid behind Iris peeping at Edwin's figure in dismay"Its okay baby." Iris kissed her forehead and handed her to Edwin.Edwin had a grimaced look on his face, completely disappointed at the fact that Isabelle was scar
Chapter 114Time & PatienceVoices of playful Isabelle gurgling, laughing and Edwin's soft honeydew laughter woke Iris up in the morning as she lifted the covers put on me while I was asleep.Iris knew who the one behind it is and her lips curved to a smile....Antonym of emotions seared in Iris.She felt guilty, ashamed and terrible about herselfHow can a mother sleep when her child is in danger? Or was it all a dream?Iris opened her eyes to shut them again.The bright sunlight emanating from the windows made het squint as she reopened them, her heart pounding with fear. Iris was jerked back into the past when she was surprised waking up in a complete different ambience.Isabelle crying, her abdominal pain and then Dr.Simpson uttered those words 'Isabelle is critical', Iris went out of control.Oh shit! I even slapped the doctor.Iris behaved like a possessed screaming, shouting and cursing when the staff and the nurses held her tightly making her wince with her inner pain and sh
Chapter 113Cruel Words With pounding heart Iris reached Stella's room She panicked when she found Stella lying on the floor straight, her face reflecting pain and Isabelle in her arms.Stella looked at Isabelle with concern and as Iris scanned the room.Iris could judge with Isabelle's crib half fallen and Stella's leap to save her falling from that cot of hers.Quickly Iris picked Isabelle who was shell shocked at her happening, Stella's pained face doing no good to calm her down.Lulling her for a second Iris nestled her on the bed and still she sat straight at an instant, fear lined on her face as Stella stayed on the floor with helplessness, small moans of pain escaping her mouth.Being a healthy baby of almost 11months Isabelle tried to reach Stella.Stopping her with a stern 'Sit" gesture Iris attended Stella. Iris tried to lift her off the floor but with the pain she was bearing, lack of cooperation on her part did not help."Stella please try." Iris begged."Isabelle" Stel
