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
Chapter 98The ThreatIris struggled for a good while.But the men holding her captive were way strongerIris's heart sank to the boots.She tried to snuck out of window to ask for help but her mouth was tied with a cloth, making her dumb. She managed to see out of the glass window screen behind, Ben was following and he was running behind the car and was soon overtaken by a gypsy and went out of sight. Iris still fixed her eyes expecting a miracle and popping up of Ben and it wasn't in vain, Ben emerged on top of that gypsy climbing few more vehicles and reaching close to the van but the van now took a steep turn, moving out of the city highway taking a lone way towards their destination, Ben was lost in the stream of heavy traffic behind.Tears flowing mercilessly from Iris's eyes.What was more painful Edwin's word or the unknown destiny lying ahead?It was then Iris realised THREAT.She had a threat and those guys had finally made a move.Mr. Clark was right...It wasn't any fr
Chapter 99Fear & PrideIris body drained of its strength when she looked at Ben who was now held captive by the two men who brought her there; his hands and feet were tied. "Run Iris" he shouted before his mouth was also tied with a stray fabric.Iris was trying to analyse and understand the happenings around when three men stood together toasting with their glasses of beers looking at Iris with expressions which were fierce and evil.Aaron.. how could Aaron do all this?He was my friend all this while... I trusted him.. And didn't he say that he loved me, not once but ample number of times."She is so panic struck. I think she needs an explanation. After all she was my baby whore." Brent spoke making Iris grit her teeth.Iris walked to Aaron and hit a tight slap on his face only to be answered by two slaps back on her face right and left.They were so fierce, so harsh that her ears started ringing.Her eyes now gave away her strong demeanour and starting spilling tears which were f
Chapter 100Fear Of LosingWith horror in her eyes Iris witnessed her friend , her bodyguard slumping on the floor.Aaron now took another shot at Iris but was tumbled on the floor as the cops had taken him with their shot.Brent took a quick run Jamie however was successfully arrested by the cops.Iris's shrieks and cries to help Ben were ignored as Edwin who was also escorting the cops fussed over her safety.."EEEddddwwiiiiin Ben .. Ben... Help him. He is shot" Iris was in turmoil as she saw blood pouring endlessly from his body where the bullet was shot."Ben you gonna be alright" Iris said as she caressed his face trying to ease his pain. But the bullet had done more damage than it should have.Ben opened his mouth trying to speak but nothing came from his mouth.Iris could feel her name that he was trying to utter, his lips moving but he was so badly wounded that the words got lost within."You will be fine." Iris said in between sobs "then we will talk""You will be fine" Iri
Chapter 101 The Letter....It's been three weeks now and it seemed like it was yesterday, Today being Ben's funeral.The toughest day of my life!Had Iris not received that letter, things would have been different but Iris's life had too many hurricanes reserved for her.So many unanswered questions were answered.Till today she was in a state of hysteria, completely ignorant of the surroundings or she tried and manipulated herself to be oblivion of the happenings around.The story that Iris had heard in her childhood, an animal character—whenever a pigeon sees a cat approaching towards it, it shuts its eyes assuming that what is not seen is gone. Like that pigeon Iris too tried to shut herself from the world around but...Its only buts.. that reign. But the letter that Edwin handed Iris and shared moments with, filled her with revelations I am a different person now..Iris held the locket that Ben gave tight in her fists, Iris felt closer to him though there was nothing emotional
Chapter 1Mistake"So do you want me?""I guess""May I drive? You are drunk"."I am?"She went to the driver's seat and opened the door. Her dazzling black eyes highlighted with silver liner and mascara meeting his hazel greens. She widened her lips to a broad flirty smile."Can you shift ahead so I can drive?" she said sweetness pouring her words."Oh yes yes.." he was lost as if he was seeing something else something ecstatic and obediently shifted to the passenger's seat.Her perfectly manicured nails decked up with bold red polish on her fairly tanned hands and the couple of silver bracelets she was wearing had few hangings were twinkling and ringing sweetly making musical notes when she rested them on the steering wheel of the white Audi that she was about to drive. She rotated the keys with a diamond embedded keychain which was carving of a bird was hanging."Where to?" she asked ignorantly as to follow the directions mentioned by him."Wherever you like love" he mentioned and
