Chapter 60 Strange RevelationsThe circumference of her nostrils widened as she could smell the faint hospital medicines and chemicals. Iris felt some kind of piercing on her legs."Oh shit! Hospital. What am I doing here? Last time I was in a hospital for my dad. My dad! Is he okay?"Iris tried to lift herself up to survey and found a doctor examining her."Miss..." then he looked at the board hanging across the bed reading and continued "yeah.. Miss. Iris. How are you doing?" Iris licked her lower lip trying to hydrate them. "Feeling a little sore and weak. How's my dad?" she asked vehemently."I am sure with a brave daughter like you, he is going be absolutely fine and yes proud too" the doctor said as he softly tapped on her shoulders appreciatively.Iris closed her eyes to breathe when suddenly she felt a slight ache in her heart. Something was hurting and bothering her. She tried to think.One of the nurses's offered her water.Iris quickly grasped it still lying and half e
Chapter 36Forgiveness"Vanissa- Ben's girlfriend" Iris registered it to her brainsStella and Edwin looked at each other as if they had seen a ghost but quickly composed their expressions as Stella continued to comfort Vanissa out of her misery, which seemed to have cramped her whole world.Edwin seemed to be a bit upset too as he tightened his grip around Iris's shoulders."Edwin" Iris called softly not to disturb the silence outside the room with green and red lights.Slowly he shifted loosening his grip from her shoulders and bent down looking at Iris face-to-face resting on his knees.Iris took her time taking in his facial features and his muscled chest beneath the crisp gray and black striped shirt that she had fallen for and suddenly she felt two blue eyes looking at her. Cautioning herself, Iris looked at Stella who averted her gaze immediately, her focus back to Vanissa who was now sipping a glass of water offered by hospital staff, quite obvious that Stella had asked for o
Chapter 62 Responsibilities v/s Friendship Iris mumbled something, she herself was not sure what she should think or believe. "He had to do it. So many lives were at stake. The people you knew were bad..." Edwin said trying to defend Ben But was Iris hearing... No... "Iris' Edwin called in his strong voice but composed tone, his elbows still on her laps as he hid his face in his hands being unsuccessful in the task he was at. "You want to go to your room?" Edwin asked. "Room?" Iris was too lost in her past to learn how she and Ben scored in their relationship that she almost forgot where she was? "What was I doing or supposed to do?" Iris asked. It was like she had a short-term memory loss. "You need to rest Iris" Edwin said and stood to take her back to the room Iris snapped back to reality. We are safe. Stella is safe; all others but Lizzie are safe. "It was Ben and his wits, not to forget his courageous attempt to take Brent and his
Chapter 63 News Of Panic He continued to pretend hunting the little bottle which he had no idea whether existed or not but his hands found their own way to enjoy the soft and slimy flesh covered with foam bubbles. As he moved them from her feet to her calves heading towards her thighs he pressed them a bit to hear a sweet moan from her "Is it that bottle beneath you and hurting you?" he asked faking concern having his piece of fun. Her eyes were now a shade darker reflecting her lust filled with desire and he pressed her bumbcheeks asking "Did it hurt here?" All she could do was take a deep breath and utter "Edwin" completely high as desire had taken all over as she gripped her hands on the handle bars of the tub, her red cutex shining adding to his libido. But Edwin took his own time moving his hands to places that made her moan harder. "Please.. Edwin" she kind of begged pulling him for a kiss but he only teased her moving back to where he was teasing her delicacy with his te
Chapter 64NewsIris noticed the way Edwin was adjusting his tie, the way his shirt was a bit crumpled which normally is always crisp and the last button that was left open, add on the satisfaction in his eyes and relaxed and contended body language, Stella on other hand was red like a sweet juicy watermelon, a lot of naughtiness, bit of guilt as she slid her eyelashes looking at her in the corner of eye kind of apologizing to be absent for a long while and the charming smile which said 'I actually enjoyed and would do anything to have that moment again' was narrating their deed loud and clear......Both of them have had their piece of lovemaking. God!!! They are so much in love!Iris felt a pang of jealousy and she immediately warned het heart not to feel as it was her mistake in the first place to fall for someone who was already taken. Now Iris realized why Stella was keen in looking for the restroom once she entered the reception hall for the last minute inspection.She did mentio
Chapter 65 The Struggles Are Real The day after Ben was operated, Iris after all the opposition of her strict nurse went to him, only a glance that he was fine would ease her nerves so she reached him to hold his hands to feel his veins, blood pumping through them. His breathing with the rising of his chest that he was alive made her feel that there is life everywhere. It was only then that she celebrated their little victory over the guy Brent. Iris held his hand in her and there was flickering of his eyes, his eyelashes opened widely as he looked at her for the first time. He shifted his head kind of gesture asking her to come close to him. As Iris stood a little from her wheelchair ignoring the pain on her operated leg, he wiped something from her cheek and said "sorry". It was only then she realized the friendly bond between the two of them that lead a tear to drop from her eyes; glad that he was safe now.How close they had gotten within few days of their friendship. Thou
Chapter 66 Freaking Epilogue.. 'This should be epilogue of my life! Yessss! Epilogue! Freaking epilogue! But here comes the turning point of my life.!' Stella couldn't contain her plight 'Two years after the whole f##king Brent incident when I made a heroic escape, not to forget without Iris and Lizzie it was impossible, I should be writing an epilogue. Right!' It taught her more than what she had learnt after years of slogging in school and college. She was a changed person after that. She did not cry unnecessarily over the past, she stopped arguing .. 'Okay! Haven't stopped but reduced arguing with Edwin. I have to argue with him. We are husband and wife. For heavens sake!’ something had gotten into her, she was blabbering in her head Stella and Edwin argue and fight often but nothing lasts after the evening when they snuggle into the bed covers and he pulls her from behind kissing her on her ears and turning around lip locking their lips; harsh words and mistakes forgotte
Chapter 67 Time To Act "Oh! Edwin is out of town and not expected anytime soon." Stella lied. She had to. She had an intuition that something bad or even worse was mentioned in the report 'I can never become a mother' Stella was cursing. This was the worst case scenario and it broke her heart into a million pieces considering the fact how much Edwin is fond of babies so much that he wont even mind cuddling little Edwin or Stella without their diapers on accepting the fact that they can easily soil his designer outfit or even wont mind helping them with after feed burps even if he soiled his super crisp shirt with their baby pukes. "Can I have his email id?" Dr D'souza asked in a very professional tone. Stella had to blink her eyes twice and thrice to confirm if he was same Alex who was driving her nuts with his super crazy jokes and she being the main content of his humor. "Alex come on! You know Edwin is a busy entrepreneur and on a world tour. I do not expect him back soon. A
