Chapter 68Chapter 69Love Cannot Be DeniedTruth cannot be denied, Ben loved Iris. He was her self-proclaimed overprotective lover. But when Ben sees her from where he stands -a normal officer who risks his life daily, he finds her sitting on the top at the crest of the moon being the most desired and successful celebrity with all the luxuries at her fingertips, ‘I do not stand a chance.’ he brushed the passing thought of being with her aside. He knew Iris was not a kind of girl who would go for materialistic things but with the kind of life she had been through, struggling for money when her brother and dad both needed extensive and expensive medical facility, he decided he'd better let her have her piece of carefree and satiated life with no economical insecurities. He could only give her insecurity or a fear that everyday when he left for my work she'd have to keep her fingers crossed hoping that he came back home safely. He was also sure that with the success and the fame th
Chapter 70Love Finds Its Way"Ooouuuuuuccccch" Iris shrieked as she was dragged out of her house and placed in a limousine. She know this was a limousine because she could smell the same enchanting fragrance of his in the packed wheeler. One might wonder why she was not scared with her eyes closed and mouth tied. She trusted her security.It was beyond any arrears and she was safe and sound wherever and how ever she was.There are her well wishers and her security agencies that are paid more than essential to take care of her security. "Okay I am removing your blinds now" Aaron said softly brushing his lips on her ears. Iris nodded her head in approval. Aaron was a side actor in her last movie. They became friends in the sets when he kept her busy all the time with his random jokes and interesting talks. He kind of helped her as a recreational activity during her hectic schedules. Soon the hidden potential in him was discovered and he too got roles of a leading actor. With c
Chapter 40Gifting Love Iris's heart fluttered at his sweet angelic face. Aaron beamed with happiness. A true genuine smile settled on his face that was smart and innocent. He pulled her into a hug and pressed his lips to hers for a kiss. Their lips met, tongues swirled, butterflies dancing giving her tingles all over the body. My first kiss after I became an actress! I should enjoy it right!Iris tried, honestly did till she realized he was restlessly trying to part her lips with his tongue seeking for entrance. Iris was delaying it.She was trying to live for the moment; enjoy this lingering passionate kiss as it let the flow of vibrations down her spine. But somewhere something was disturbing. There was a pit feeling making her stomach crumble, yelling at her, 'This is wrong. This is not meant to be.' Her love for Edwin was restricting her to go ahead in this relationship. 'Hmmmph... I haven't yet walked out of that first love of mine.' Frustrated she pulled him with loc
Chapter 72Will You Marry...?"Stella" Iris called slowly as she still clung to her, Stella’s face finding comfort on her shoulder. Stella inhaled deeply before looking back at Iris. 'Something is awfully wrong....' Iris deduced.Stella tried to compose herself greeting a "hi" in her sobbed voice. "Long time" she continued with a closed smile, her smile not reaching her eyes "no mails, calls, texts...... I missed you" Iris was nervously choking on her own saliva, her lips going dry wondering what to answer that 'calling you was difficult because I wanted to ask about Edwin every time.Is he alright? Is he happy? Does he miss me? Does he still move his hands around his neck when he is nervous? Does he share things with you like he'd share with me?Did he ever take my name; even if it was a mistake? Does he still eat choco- chip cookie with his coffee? Is he still toned with his sculpted abs or has he developed some pot belly?' These and so many questionsIris was curious to
Chapter 73Hopes & Requests“I... Mmm... you.. Ed..” Iris had lost her tongue “you are out of your mind” She blurted, the temperature in the room decreasd as her entire body started shivering "It's in the darkness of your pupils. It's in the charm of your face with mere hearing his name." She said, her voice now sobbed. "Stella. Please you are scaring me." Iris bit the inner of her cheek trying to control all teh emotions she was feeling at the moment . She pulled Stella trying to make an eye contact with her. "No I am scared" she now lost her grip on her emotions making her sob bitterly. Iris's heart melted at her loss of her confidence, the elated beautiful face was now crumpled and she was begging her to take away the love of her life. She indeed loved him.Iris could read it from her eyes, the way she looked at Edwin, the jealousy she displayed or even if she didn't she was not the kind to give away a perfect husband like Edwin for any damn reason in the world. It can never b
Chapter 74Games Life plays"I am not going to let anyone walk over my self dignity!!!!This is what Iris proudly said hours ago at Mr. Brater's office.######At Brater's office"Well! Well! Well! Miss. Iris finally you are here after a long wait" Mr. Brater greeted as he sipped from his glass of wine toasting Iris's presence. He seemed to be very happy with her presence."My pleasure sir" Iris acknowledged preferring orange juice to the glass of wine.He was one of the successful directors of Italian cinemas and was trying his hand in Hollywood with biggest of the sponsors around the world.If Iris made it with the contract, it would be a huge milestone to her career as the project had already earned a lot of publicity right with the inception of the idea, one being the most expensive movies of all times and the other highlight being the action scenes that were very difficult and were the first time to be done by any female character in the history of film making.So Iris was eagerl
Chapter 75The Right Thing"No you love him more" Iris admitted though it wa snever easy for her then nor is it now to accept the fact that the only person she ever loved or could love in her life loves someone else.Iris swallowed the lump in her throat "Who else could accept a second woman in her life who she knows with well awareness that is madly in love with her husband?""But you let him go. I know you are a good soul, you did not impose your love on us" Stella reverberated with determination."He needs you" Stella mumbled she pressing Iris's hand negging her "you have to make him fall for you so that I do not die in his arms but die contended that he wouldn't spend the rest of his life crying over me.""You know what" Iris wiped her tears "you sound stupid and absurd but I can really bend on my knees for your appraisal.""We are getting late" Stella walked ahead.Iris meant when she said those words; suffering with a killer disease Stella was not asking for sympathies for herse
Chapter 76For Love, Only LoveIris was back into the past, same jealousy patronizing her when she’d see Edwin and Stella together.Although Stella had convinced her that she'd never let Edwin touch her sanity if Iris accompanied her Iris had bravely refused her to do so. She knew Edwin loved her and her rejection and aversion towards making love with him would hurt him more. After all he was a human being and also the one with both x and y-chromosomes. Also how can a man or a husband be deprived of something he wants or enjoys with the love of his life?Neither did Iris doubt the honesty of Stella nor was she doing this because Stella requested her to. Iris was here because she loved this man, for whom she had been longing for since the day she met him.She wanted to be in his arms, to feel his lips, to have him touch her to love each and every nerve of his body, to have some space inside his heart: For love... Only love....Iris's ever increasing love for him had traveled all th
