Chapter 31
I went into my room quietly and sat down on my bed. I wondered why Ian didn't say a word. So that means he truly has a child with her. The door handle was shaking, and I knew that someone wanted to come into the room. I waited till I heard a knock on my door. I dragged my feet towards the door and opened it. I was aware it would be Ian, and I was correct. "Iris, can I come in?" I made way for him to enter my room without saying a word. "You look cold. I thought you would have come inside my room to sleep." "Your room? No, I can't. I am comfortable here." "Are you sure?" "Yes, I am alright here." "You have been silent and cold the moment she talked about a child; do you believe what she said?" I don't know what to say to him at this moment. I have yet to hear the full story, so

It was as if Ian wanted to release a bomb, because I still don't understand why he exhaled so deeply that I could see his chest rising and falling. Maybe I was right in the first place. He must have had a child with her, so what am I still doing here? "Alright, I called. We are here together because of the whole situation at hand now, and I want to clear the hot atmosphere." What are all these long sermons for? Ian should go straight to the point. My patience is running out. Ian quickly turned to Claire and said, "You came here on purpose, and definitely it was because of my wealth. The child is not mine." "Huh? How can you say that? Why would you deny your own seed, Ian?" "There is no need to banter words with you. I have no energy for that. Yesterday, you broke the news of having a child for me, and I was quiet because I had to do my resear

Ian I feel like I am losing something. How do I make Claire leave my house? I don't deny the fact that she was once my girlfriend, but I don't know what she has planned. Iris tapped me on the shoulder and got me startled. "Here," she handed a glass of Vodka alcoholic liquor. "Thanks," I followed her behind to know where she was going, and we got to the grass like an umbrella shade and sat down. "I want us to talk." I stopped my drink and nodded my head in approval of her going ahead. "I am all ears." "I don't know anything about your past. Can you please tell me your story?" I never expected her to bring the matter up, but there was nothing to hide. "I know you want to know about Claire, and I will tell you."

Ian I rushed out of the house with my car. I drove myself to the hospital, where I was asked to come and see her. When I got there, I forgot to turn off the car's engine. I just closed the door and rushed inside. I couldn't find any traces of her, and so I moved to meet those medical records officers at the front desk. "Hello, I was told that a young lady was moved into this hospital." "A young lady? What's her name?" "Iris McCarthy" They searched in their file, but it was taking too long, which got me so uncomfortable. "What is going on? She was just brought in here a few minutes ago, not even up to an hour." The record officer who was attending to me shook her head negatively. "Sorry, sir, but there is no such name here. The last person that was brought inside here was a man."

Ian I opened my car door but noticed I forgot my wallet. I rushed back into the house and met Claire, bleeding profusely. What is this? I became confused. Was it because I pushed her? The blood was gushing out through her thighs. "Claire! What happened?" She was just screaming on top of her voice. "Somebody help!" The domestic staff available came and met us. I asked them to help me take her into the car. I got up to my room and grabbed my wallet. My head wasn't just calculating enough. I couldn't think straight. I brought the car engine to life and zoomed off. There was just one domestic staff member, Claire, in the back seat. I arrived at the hospital, and the nurses helped carry her inside. My phone rang, and I picked it up despite not knowing who the caller was.

Iris In my whole life, I haven't seen a man who is well known, yet he doesn't publicize it. What? So, Ian wants to tell me that the policemen who were having breakfast with us know him too well. Look at how relaxed they feel, eating like they haven't eaten since last week. Ian is so down to earth to have allowed these men to eat at the same table with him. Gosh! I am impressed and amazed. Isak can't try this. If I can be scared of Isak, my husband, then who are the outsiders not to be trembling before him? His intimidating looks alone can send one to the grave immediately, without a touch. That was how bad it was. I saw the joy and excitement on their faces. They would be lucky that Claire came to invite them over, but funny enough, the game turned around for them. They would wish tha

TracyI understand how Iris is feeling, and I have been in her shoes before. I don't know how best to encourage her because mine was a little different from hers. I can remember a lot of things that transpired back then. It is a big secret that nobody knows about. I only met Iris in college days; by then, I had gone through a lot, and she didn't know this aspect of my life. When I woke up one morning in mid-May, it was simply another typical day. I bent over to give my sleeping husband a kiss before slithering out of bed, blissfully oblivious to the fact that my life would significantly change by the end of the day. In order to get ready for the day me and my husband would spend with our friends Ron and Hermione, I took a long, hot shower. Muggle Day was upon us. We spent the day exploring London as Muggles, a custom we began years ago. We would go shoppin

Isak "Did you say that she visited your office?" "Yes, some minutes ago." I paced around my office with my left hand tucked inside my pocket and the other holding the phone closer to my ear. "Did she tell you where she stays?" "Not at all. I tried to get the information from her, but she was too secretive." "Hmm, I need to find her," I said. A few minutes ago, she left the chamber. Who knows if I will be able to see her? I picked up my phone to call my driver, but there was no need because I couldn't tell if he was going to see her. Shit! I am not finding this funny at all. Her parents hadn't said anything to me either. Maybe they are aware of her whereabouts. That evening, immediately after I finished work, I told my driver to take me to Iris' family house. I nee

Tracy Hermione replied, "Tracy," in a shaky voice. "At the intersection, something's happened." I spun around to find she was right. There were people everywhere, lights were flashing, and officers were attempting to assist them. Abruptly, I had uneasiness in the pit of my stomach and was certain that a terrible mistake had occurred. Two gnomes shrugged their heads and walked on. "Terrible thing." I reached over to touch her arm. "What happened?" The Muggle girl raised her sad eyes to stare at me. "Automobile mishap. A drunk driver crashed into a taxi. It's not appealing." My entire body felt numb as they left, and Hermione held onto my arm while I hardly heard her murmur his name. We were aware. We were both aware that a significant change had occurred in both our own and our children's lives. After 2 months

Iris“What in the hell happened here? Tracy mouthed it in shock as he tried to walk over the mess. Broken glass and all! My eyes were already teary as I stared at the mess!“Brian! I muttered with a broken heart! Because of me, my friends' lives are in danger.Tracy came over to hug me. Brian is fine. It's just that he’s in shock.” She kissed me on the cheek before disengaging to walk to what was supposed to be Brian's perfect artifact."See, everything is fine! We just need to inform the police, and the culprit will be found! Brian finally spoke in a high-pitched voice, which only indicated how stressed this was for him.“Brian I’m so sorry; I didn’t mean to endanger your life.” But I got a hug instead.“Iris, you’re stressed about this; this might just be a random break-in! Our focus returned to the ruin in the house. Thankfully, Brian didn’t spend the night at his place and had gotten back to see his house in a mess.The windows were all broken! The furniture was all trashed, and e
