Chapter 90: Greek Beauty

IRISI had to wait till the dawn of the next day before going home. By the time we were done making sure some kids were reunited with their parents, it was well past one a.m. By nine pm, I had called Les and informed him that I would be sleeping over at Meera's. He had asked why, and I had made up some lie about Meera wanting a girl's night in. That lie eventually didn't sit very well with me, making me toss and turn in bed while it ate me up from the inside out. Surprisingly, Les didn't ask any more questions but simply agreed, which only added more to my guilt. Les was trusting me completely, and yet, here I was lying to him. The heavy weight of guilt continued to stay with me, keeping me awake until dawn. It got so bad that once it was five a.m., I showered and left with my security detail, who had no idea where I'd been the previous night. That caused another form of guilt to overwhelm me. If Les finds out that they had no clue, I have no idea what he'd do. Throughout my ride h

And as I navigated through the bustling streets with Iris by my side, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation building within me.We were on our way to my parents' cabin, nestled in the serene countryside just a few hours outside the city.

It was a quaint little cottage, with a cozy fireplace and a wraparound porch that offered breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside."We're here," I said, reaching out to take her hand in mine.

Chapter 93:

IRISAs I stepped into the elevator, a familiar face greeted me with a warm smile. It was the man who always seemed to be there whenever I rode the elevator up to my office – Walter Caine. He was impeccably dressed, with a friendly demeanor that put me at ease."Good morning, Miss Iris," he said, his voice smooth and polished. "How are you today?""Good morning, Mr. Caine," I replied, returning his smile. "I'm doing well, thank you. How about you?""Can't complain," he said with a chuckle, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Another day, another dollar, as they say."As the elevator ascended to my floor, I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something off about Mr. Caine. He was always so friendly and polite, but there was a certain air of mystery about him that I couldn't quite place.And as an investigative journalist in past times, my instints almost never fail me. I felt the need to research him and see what I find out. Once I reached my office, I couldn't shake the feeling

Chapter 95: The Gun

IRIS“It was you?”“Surprised?” She grinned, “It means I did a very good job.”I looked from her to the knife and back. I should have known it was her. How did I not put things together? It explains how the texter was privy to some information that only someone living with me could know but then again there was no way I could have known it was her. Not when she came from the angle of someone who cared about Mary and was angry about her death. I watched Andrea warily. I have witnessed an angry Andrea, a jealous Andrea but this Andrea is who I don't know. She watches me with a blank stare as she plants one foot in front of the other while I take matching ones back. I quickly get behind a couch, and kicked off my heels and now we began to move around it while the couch acted as a buffer between us. “Why Mary? Why mention her at all?” Her face breaks into a grin. “Because it's fun and I loved watching you suffer. I knew Mary was an open wound, so I used it to my advantage and my goodn

IRIS“How did you-?” She asked, confused. “You weren't supposed to be back so soon!” She stated making me wonder who was feeding her information. “So soon?” Les asked, mirroring my own confusion as well. “Who have you been working with? Why are you doing this?!”“Maybe because I want to?” She shrugged aggressively. Les stepped closer. “Andy, you're not a killer.”“I could be. You don't know me.”Les stepped closer again. I couldn't see James because I was trying not to take my whole eyes off of Andrea. “Of course, I know you Andy. I watched you get born. I carried you in my arms and throughout your childhood I was your favorite uncle.”Andrea looked like she'd explode at any time.“That was then! You don't know me now! You didn't care anymore. Not when you got up and left for New York without looking back!”A pained look surfaced in his expression. “Andy, I'm sorr-”“Save it! I don't need your apologies or your pity. It's over for me anyway.” She turned her eyes on me and they har

Chapter 97:

IRIS1I sat beside Les, watching him as he cradled Andrea's lifeless body in his arms. His grief was palpable, his shoulders shaking with silent sobs. I reached out tentatively, placing a hand on his back, offering what little comfort I could muster."Les," I whispered softly, my voice barely above a murmur, "I'm here for you. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through, but I'm here."He looked up at me, his eyes red-rimmed and filled with pain. "Iris," he choked out, his voice thick with emotion, "I don't know what to do. She's gone, and I couldn't protect her."Tears welled up in my own eyes as I watched him mourn the woman he loved. "You did everything you could, Les. You tried to reason with her, to save her. None of this is your fault."He buried his face in Andrea's hair, his grip tightening around her lifeless form. "I should have done more," he muttered, his voice muffled against her skin.I moved closer, wrapping my arms around him in a tight embrace. "You did ev

Chapter 98:

I found Les sitting in his study, poring over some documents. He looked up as I entered, a small smile playing on his lips. "Hey, Iris," he greeted me warmly. "What's on your mind?"I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. "Les, I need to talk to you about something," I said, my voice trembling slightly.He set aside the documents and gestured for me to take a seat. "Of course, Iris. What is it?"I glanced around nervously before speaking. "I saw Julian," I admitted, my heart pounding in my chest.Les's expression darkened, his brow furrowing with concern. "Are you sure, Iris? Julian is dangerous. If he's out there, we need to be careful."I nodded, my hands trembling in my lap. "I'm sure, Les. I saw him watching me from across the street. It sent chills down my spine."Les reached out, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "Thank you for telling me, Iris. We'll need to be extra vigilant from now on. I won't let anything happen to you."I forced a smile, grateful for Le

Chapter 99:

LES“I see you've lost all your senses posting that girl online.”I rolled my eyes at my brother who was cleaning his pistol while holding a video call with me. The sun had just gone down over the horizon, casting my office in semi darkness while the landscape of New York city came alive with colorful night lights. “I guess you can call me ‘crazy’. Crazy about her.” I smiled as I shoveled some Chinese noodles into my mouth with chopsticks.“What you will be, is sorry if you don't stop.”I stopped chewing and glared at him. My brother didn't look at me. Instead, he continued to clean his weapon as if he didn't just say something disturbing. “Why would you say that?”“Because you're being a fool right now. Posting her for the world to see, especially for our Uncle to see, is like looking into the eye of a python and spitting in its face.”James was right. I was usually a very calculated mind but lately, I have been getting carried away by my affection for Iris and may have unintentio
