LESThe look on Iris’ face does something to me. It made me develop the urge to hit someone or something and as much as I am opposed to hitting women, I sure feel the urge to snuff the life out of Taylor right now. My hands curl into fists and I slide them in my pockets. ‘Think happy thoughts, Les. Happy Thoughts.’“Is this true?” Iris asked and although her mannerisms were similar to nonchalance, I knew her well enough to tell when she's not happy and when she's upset and right now, she's both. “To some extent, yes.” I replied. “The only part that's not true is the part where she claims to be my girlfriend. I never gave her that title.” I said, throwing a glare at Taylor. “We had an agreement!”“Which is now void!” I said in a voice slightly higher than usual. I'm not used to losing my composure but this blonde bitch is starting to get on my nerves. Taylor scoffs. “I don't get it. You've been chasing this for years and now all of a sudden, you don't want it?”Taylor turns Iris.

Chapter 101

IRISI spun in my work chair for the hundredth time, and when I still couldn't figure out my assignment, I slammed my laptop shut and let out a strangled groan. Letting my head fall to my hands, I squeezed my eyes shut, wondering why I couldn’t write. The issue wasn't the fact that I wasn't well versed in this industry. I had written dozens of articles like this during an early time in my career before I discovered investigative journalism. I just didn't know why I was experiencing a block now. “Is everything alright?”I snapped my head up to see Meera watching me with concern. Checking the wall clock, I realized it was around three p.m. which was the usual time Meera came back from work. “Yea. Everything is fine.” I smiled and leaned back in my seat. “I saw you slam your laptop, Iris.” She took a seat opposite me. “That doesn't seem fine to me.”I sighed and let my shoulders sag before proceeding to let her in on my struggle with my writing. “I can't bring out a single word, and

Chapter 102:

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 anymore 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 home,

Chapter 103:

After much deliberation, I made up my mind. I couldn't let ambition cloud my judgment or compromise my principles. I stood firm in my decision and turned down the offer from my editor-in-chief. Despite the allure of a promotion, I couldn't bring myself to exploit my relationship with Walter Caine for personal gain. It just didn't sit right with me.

He greeted me with a warm smile and asked if we could talk."Of course, Walter," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady despite the butterflies in my stomach.We found a quiet corner in the lobby and sat down to talk. "I wanted to apologiz

Chapter 104

IRISAfter a whole conversation in which Les revealed some key details to Roscoe and his brother, I signaled to Meera for us to have a talk privately. So we left the men to discuss business while Meera and I went up to my bedroom. Once the door was closed, I drew her to my bed so she could sit. “So I went through the files you sent me.”“Okay.” Meera adjusted on the bed so she could face me. “Was it too much for you?”“No. Not at all. Uhm..” I swallowed, wondering how I was going to tell her what was on my mind. “So I did some findings on the girls and in the notes you mentioned that you couldn't find something similar that linked them all.”“Yes I did.” “Well, how about the fact that they all had phones?”Meera contemplated my question and blinked. “I really didn't think about that. “How did you know?”“Uhm…well. Let's just say I may have called each child's parents?”Meera's eyes widened and her brows flew up before they came down in a stern manner as she narrowed her eyes at me.

It had been a long road to recovery, but I was determined to put the past behind me and move forward.Just then, James walked in, a concerned look on his face.

It was a rare moment of peace and quiet, away from the chaos of the world.I leaned against Les, feeling the warmth of his body next to mine. "Isn't it beautiful, Les?" I said, gazing up at the sky.He nodded, his arm around my shoulders. "It sure is, Iris," he replied, a smile playing on his lips.Suddenly, I felt a flutter in my stomach, a familiar sensation that made my heart skip a beat. "The baby's kicking again, Les!"

In the days that followed, I made a conscious effort to keep my interactions with Walter strictly professional. I avoided any situations that could be misconstrued and focused on my work, determined not to let the awkwardness of our encounter affect me.But despite my best efforts, I couldn't shake the feeling of discomfort whenever I saw him around the office. Every time our paths crossed, I was reminded of that awkward moment in the restaurant, and it made it difficult to concentrate on anything else.As the weeks went by, I found myself growing increasingly anxious whenever Walter was nearby. I couldn't help but wonder if he still harbored feelings for me, or if he was just trying to move past what had happened like I was.One day, as I was working at my desk, I heard a knock on my office door. I looked up to see Walter standing in the doorway, a sheepish expression on his face."Iris, can we talk?" he asked, his voice hesitant.I sighed, feeling a sense of dread wash over me. I kn

The sun was setting, painting the sky with streaks of orange and pink as I looked out the window of my office. It was a beautiful sight, one that never failed to fill me with awe and wonder.As I watched the sun dip below the horizon, I couldn't help but think about my life and how far I had come. I had started out with nothing, just a kid from the streets with big dreams and even bigger ambitions.But through hard work and determination, I had managed to escape the world of organized crime and build a successful business empire. I was now the CEO of my own company, a hardworking billionaire with a bright future ahead of me.I thought back to the days when I was just a lowly street thug, running errands for the mob and doing whatever it took to survive.

LESI walked into Pablo's, the familiar scent of garlic and tomatoes welcoming me like an old friend. Spotting Pablo behind the counter, I called out to him, feeling a rush of nostalgia wash over me."Hey, Pablo!" I greeted, making my way over to him. His smile was as warm as ever as he greeted me, and we exchanged a hug that felt like coming home."It's been too long, Les," Pablo remarked, his voice tinged with a hint of wistfulness. I nodded in agreement, realizing how much I had missed this place.We settled into a booth, and as we caught up, I couldn't help but notice the tiredness in Pablo's eyes, deeper than I remembered. "You doing okay, Pablo?" I asked, a note of concern in my voice.He hesitated for a moment before assuring me that he was fine, but I could tell something was weighing on him. Before I could delve deeper, our conversation was interrupted by the arrival of our food.As I took my first bite of pasta, my favorite dish at Pablo's, I couldn't shake the feeling that
