Chapter 90Things You Do For Love...Iris might have thought that the two her and Stella were good nowBut she was in for a surprise rather shock!"I thought" Stella had stopped crying but she still had to force those words out her mouth "If you guys spent a night together, may be you'll get a step closer to each other."She paused looking at her expectantly."It is not true, you are assuming." Iris sighed at what she was thinking. She could no longer be furios at teh absurdity of Stella’s thoughts."Trust me Iris" Stella said trying to convince her "The day we consummated I really felt, no we' felt extremely close to each other. You'll feel the same."Fresh tears sprang from Iris's eyes as she answered half heartedly "Things were different with you. You were" Iris choked but made the word clear "virgin..."I was a certified prostitute, a non virgin. You made love and we'd still be having $e... no Edwin wouldn't ever agree to it.""Edwin loves you" Stella argued"Edwin would never agr
Chapter 91Confidence To ConfessIris went back to her room, worked with some concealer and blusher to hide the dark circles around her eyes.The pink gloss came to another rescue as she felt her lips pout, so a smile would not feel that artificial.Iris knew this was Ben and she need not pretend but she did not want to share the whole Stella's wish with him. I just can't....'Hey!" Iris greeted Ben with one of her best Hollywood smiles, part of act."Hiya" he pulled her chin to face her, "Where is my Iris?""What?" Iris asked confused. Can he really see through my façade?"You look more like a Hollywood star." He said wiping the little gloss that might have spread a little above her lip with his finger.Butterflies in her stomach and Stella's words last night stinging in her heart, she darted away from him.The hurt look on his face made her feel guilty all of a sudden."You okay?" Ben asked. This time he maintained a distance."Perfect. With you" Iris said trying to be cheerful "A
Chapter 92I would do anything for love....But I just won't do that.Edwin received a welcoming mail from Indonesia. Though he was completely disoriented and disheveled with what Stella argued and asked and finally forced him into it, he still opened the mail with a positive heart being optimistic enough to be good news.His heart was thumping inside the chest when he clicked the open button of the laptop. Once he read it, he started jumping in fascination.All my prayers now been answered.’ he looked upwards and fisted his heart in gratitudeHe had mailed complete medical reports and records of Stella's diseases to an Indonesian clinic and what he got was an acclamation that after thorough study by the doctors and researchers there, they were confident that the drug Thyophine Flagellorme would affectively work on Stella's disease and they were positive that the disease would be permanently eradicated. They were also on special request sending one of the doctors from the panel of
Chapter 93Lovesick PuppyBen who was pacing in the small reception area of Edwin answering questions one after another to the staff probably about the celebrity quotient of Iris and his association with her.Iris wondered what perks Edwin would have to offer his staff over here to maintain the secrecy of her presence.He turned towards her looking relieved as he asked "You okay?""Never been better than this." Iris said as she sprinted out of Edwin's office like how kids move out of their classes after the final bell ring.Edwin was glad he did not need to speak a lot of words to explain what is in his heart and head. She understood them.And the happiness that reflected in her eyes, in her body language, it was like he was seeing his own reflection. Though his joy would be calculated in multiples as compared to that of Iris's.'''''''''''"You seemed to be quite occupied." Iris teased Ben wriggling her eyebrows looking at the $exy receptionist still staring at Ben."Your fame and
Chapter 94 I Would Do Anything For LoveBut.. I just wontIris reached home expecting an enlightened Stella cuddled up in Edwin's arms being completely engrossed in each other but what she heard was completely antagonistic.....''''''''''''Edwin reached home in the evening to see a beaming Stella working with a pile of papers, which she was studying very curiously.For a moment Edwin doubted that Iris might have disclosed the news to her but since he had clarified that he wanted to do it personally only after sorting out everything.He was sure Iris wouldn't ever overlook his verdict.When Stella saw Edwin appearing she ran towards him engulfing him into a warm, caressing hug. Happy that Edwin was he too twirled her in the air loving to see the unconditional smile on her face since ages.It was soon accompanied by a deep, violent and passionate kiss, which aroused all the thistles along with his most lusting organ of his body. This intimacy between him and Stella had been a rare t
Chapter 95You, Me and SheStella entered the room but Edwin was so furious that he did not look into her direction. Instead he pretended to be asleep giving her back to her. "Edwin look here I know you are awake." Stella called but he ignored."Edwin it's better to look now before you regret." She said loud with a firm stance in her voice.She was behaving so crazy these days that he couldn't help but turn around and see.She'd collected all her tablets from all the packets and bottles in a crystal glass and poured a sip or two of wine in it.Fearing that she'd drink it, Edwin sat straight lunging towards the glass but what she did was shocked him to the core. She took the cigarette lighter, probably Iris's and lit the glass.The flames of the fire matching her orange and yellow dress and she stood still watching her tablets burn with her wide blues making them glisten with the fames, not bothered about the burns of her palms.Quickly he poured water into the glass just in time, n
Chapter 96Deception or Love?Easier said than done !! Was exactly what Iris was facing when she had to face Stella the other day. Edwin had told her to pretend that they had slept together, but Iris found her heart beating wildly everytime she faced Stella but she'd avert her gaze guiltilyThey felt that they were deceiving each other in the name of love.Stella was not in hight spirits either.The fact that her husband slept in another room with a girl and doing things that only she is entitled to do and that girl being her best friend was difficult for her to accept too.She too was distracted for a day or two, keeping the conversations to the minimum.Iris on the other hand would choke whenever she'd have to talk to her.Iris preferred staying with Ben otherwise who'd handle her very nicely. He'd crack up random jokes; arrange to take her to places where her identity was safe. If it wasn't for Ben Iris had no idea how she would have survived. They sat for hours together on the
Chapter 97Heart Breaking Words"Iris.." Stella called starting a conversation making her jump a little.Iris quickly put her hands under the lap trying to hide the thoughts that seemed to be so loud that Iris felt that she'd heard them."Yes" Iris tried to be cheerful. She was glad that at least she started the conversation. ‘Maybe she'll come over it and be same friends again.’Iris was hopeful"You never told me how was Edwin?" she asked with a mischievous smirk in her eyes.Iris shifted on her place not knowing how to answer but thought of playing the fool "he looked good in the morning. Why?""No.. I am talking about" Stella now went nervous as she was phrasing the words.Iris's heart was now thrumming in the chest.Stella had a wide smile on her face as she continued asking "umm.. that night when you two.. umm. You guys slept."'What do I say? Hard core lies. Tell her it was good or .... Iris was debating in her headShe did not give her a chance and said "You know I love it wh
