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 102Support SystemIris read the letter, reread it again and again multiple number of times till her eyes went cloggy and her vision foggy due to the tears.Iris hugged that sheet of paper tightly; she did not mind it getting crumpled. It was like a ventilator support system to her.It was like a part of Ben was with her.Hugging her knees tightly, Iris sat on the floor of guest room; she was still at Edwin's place and cried her heart out.'Ben, he loved me so much that he did not want to confess his love till he was serving as my bodyguard" she hiccupped as she cried talking to nobody "because he felt incase I do not reciprocate he wont be able to guard me properly or I wont let him guard me. And once I am aware of his feelings, he won't be able to do his job properly..."Bless his commitment!Iris had no idea that if she knew about his feelings she'd accept his love or not..Most probably she would have denied. I cannot love anybody more than I love Edwin. Even if Edwin
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
Chapter 2 Friends With Whore Edwin woke up woke up disoriented. He took a turn, his hands searching for Stella, eyes closed. He desired to cuddle her like he did every single night. She fits so perfectly in his arms. 'I love her you much' he muttered half asleep. From the day he had seen her for the first time. It was love at first sight and he really had to work hard to win her and convince her to marry her. 'Now she's mine. I love to kiss her on her cheeks with her eyes closed in deep slumber.' He thought 'But where is she now? Oh she's not keeping emotionally good. She's angry and so she is at other end of the bed. I will grab her from there." She wasn't there too. Reality hit him like cold water on the face 'Wait! Wait! Where am I?? This isn't our room. The bed is different.' He slowly lifted his heavy eyelashes to find himself at an anonymous place. 'Am I dreaming? Am I actually alive? Why don't I remember anything?' He got up on his feet shocked. He panicked
Chapter 3 Love At First Sight "Sure you want to listen to my story?" he asked unsure "Till you don't mind sharing" Rosie replied as he was uncomfortable and fiddling with hands. She was seeing a nervous man for the first time. Otherwise she had only seen men in hollow darkness where she could only visualize the pitch dark sexual desires that vanishes in one night and they do prefer to leave before the sunshine as if brightness would erase their immoral deeds. She wondered if they even considered it immoral. For few it would be as casual and recreating as taking few shots of alcohol before going to bed.He said in a surprisingly humble tone, "Excuse me for a while" and went to the washroom. What a thorough gentleman he is. She thoughtHe was even completely dressed up before she woke her. She would have actually enjoyed his masculine abs tense in anger. Not that she was a perverted kind of whore but this man was special. He seemed to get her attention in a special way like
Chapter 4 Crazy Love"I did not believe in love then. All I wanted was her and I was magnetized by her." Edwin said chuckling to himself and smiling a broad smile filled with love, real love"What you never realized that you fell. Fell madly, completely and totally in love with her?" Rosie spoke more excitedly than ever. All these years she had come to the conclusion that love is a vague feeling. "You think so?" he asked lost in his past still smiling like a love lost puppy."Yeah It's all over your face. It's in the glint of your eyes." she answered honestly.Rosie never believed in love till today but this guy in a short span of time has turned from dumb lost alcoholic to angry young man and now a cliché' youth lost in his memories of loveEdwin blushed and simply chuckled to it getting lost again as if he was back there living the moment all over again. "And then.." Rosie was now anxious about the entire thing. She was dying to know . "Oh yes then.." he said seemingly excited an
