One Week Later.IrisI woke up like I always did, the soft sunlight streaming through the curtains, everything seemed normal, calm. I stretched, my muscles aching slightly as I tried to shake off the grogginess from the night. I had slept better than usual, which was a relief. I felt hopeful for the day ahead.But then, as I went about my morning routine, things took a sudden, unexpected turn.I walked to the bathroom, turning on the faucet and letting the cool water flow as I stepped into the shower. The steam from the hot water quickly filled the small space, and I closed my eyes, letting the warmth wash over me. For a moment, I felt peaceful, like the world was far away.But then, out of nowhere, I felt a rush of fear fill my chest. My breath became shallow, as if I couldn’t get enough air. The water, the steam, everything around me felt too much, too heavy. Panic gripped me like a vise. I stumbled, reaching for the shower wall, but my hands were shaking too badly. My vision blurre

IrisI woke up with a start, the lingering effects of the panic attack still holding on to me. The past few days had been a blur, mostly filled Orchard’s constant reassuring presence, and the overwhelming weight of everything that had happened. It felt like the world was moving in slow motion around me, but my thoughts were a million miles away.I could feel the cold hospital sheets beneath me, the sterile smell of the room filling my senses. Orchard had been here the entire time, never leaving my side, until the doctors said it was okay for me to go. And even when we arrived home, he had been nothing short of protective. Always making sure I was okay. I realized the bathroom incident, gave him a scare.I had spent the last few days recovering, but today, I had to face something that had been haunting me for a while: I had to talk to my father.I wasn’t sure if I was ready. The recent events still clouded my mind, the kidnapping, the fear, Tiffany’s death. I still couldn’t shake the

IrisOnly flecks floated into my room, further aided by the peeking rose of sunlight from outside. Of that, I much preferred the slight darkness. Even with the extra darkness, I had pulled the covers over my head, blocking out even more of the light that would have come in. "Iris," I heard my husband's voice off in the distance. It felt as though I was buried underwater. I could see him, but he was just murky, clouded by the surface. But don't get me wrong, I wasn't drowning or anything. In fact, I could breathe just fine. In fact, I wanted to be left alone. I turned my head away from the window and shoved it deeper into my pillow. "Not today again," I heard him say. Soon, an image of my dead sister came to mind. The blood pooling underneath her body. Her cold, lifeless eyes staring at the ceiling with still surprise etched on her face. She hadn't seen it coming any more than I had. As I suppose it must have struck differently, thinking of the one who you're supposed to love t

Iris I spent the next two days being cuddled to death by none other than Halle. Don’t mind me, it was perfect. I didn’t complain—though it was a little too much sometimes. The constant "Honey, what do you want?" "Honey, would you like a little more pepper in that?" "Honey, I saw this beautiful dress and thought it would look so good on you." My room had been turned upside down, rearranged, and then turned upside down again, and then rearranged again. I felt bad for my room, but at least the mild form of activity was enough to keep my mind working at breakneck speed. "Do you want to try going out again?" I heard her ask shyly one day. Maybe it was the fourth day after the screaming incident. I didn’t know. "How long has it been?" "One week," she beamed into a smile. "Okay," I whispered. This time, I stepped into the shower willingly and found the hot torrent of water over my body comforting. A strange pang hit me, wishing for my husband’s arms around my body. Yeah, I thoug

Iris…The morning sunlight streamed through the windows, brightening the living room as I sipped my tea and leaned back against the couch. Life had been a whirlwind lately, but today felt calm, a rare and precious moment of peace. I was grateful for it, especially since I still felt like I was piecing myself back together after everything that had happened.Just as I set my cup down, the doorbell rang. I wasn’t expecting anyone, so my curiosity got the better of me as I walked to the door. When I opened it, I was greeted by a familiar face, Orchard’s mother.Her warm smile greeted me first, but there was a trace of worry in her eyes. “Iris, darling,” she said, stepping forward to hug me. “I hope it’s not too early for a visit.”I hugged her back tightly, her presence feeling like a comfort I didn’t know I needed. “Not at all, Halle. It’s so good to see you.”She pulled back and looked at me, her hands still resting on my shoulders. “I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner,” she said softly. “

Orchard…The house was quiet except for the soft hum of the clock on the wall. Iris was upstairs resting, and I sat on the couch, staring at the fireplace. She was home. She was safe. That thought filled my chest with relief, but it wasn’t enough to quiet the restlessness inside me.I couldn’t stop thinking about the events that had brought her back. I was grateful, of course, that Dave had saved her, but a part of me couldn’t shake the sting of jealousy. He had been the one to find her first, to bring her home.Dave had known where she was and deliberately kept it from me. He had given me vague hints, breadcrumbs that led to nowhere. I had no choice but to follow him, to trail him until he finally revealed the location. If he had just told me, I could’ve been the one to save her.I shook my head, trying to push the bitterness aside. None of that mattered now. What mattered was that Iris was here, alive and safe, and I had made a promise to myself. My phone buzzed on the table. I gl

Iris..It had been a few weeks since I returned to the office at TM Corp. My father had officially stepped down, leaving me fully in charge. I felt both proud and overwhelmed. TM Corp was a large company with many moving parts, and I knew there was a lot to fix. Still, I was determined to do my best.On my first day back, I spent hours reviewing the company’s financial records. I wanted to understand how everything was running. As I dug deeper, I noticed something troubling. A lot of money was being spent carelessly.There were expenses that didn’t make sense, lavish dinners, unnecessary travel, and payments to people who weren’t even employees. One name stood out: Karen.Karen was listed as a shareholder, but something didn’t sit right. When I asked for more information about her role, it became clear that she didn’t contribute anything to the company. She was receiving money for doing absolutely nothing.“This has to stop,” I muttered to myself.The next morning, I called a meeting

IrisThe party was in full swing, and laughter echoed through every corner of the room. Music played softly in the background, and the scent of freshly cooked meals filled the air. The guests, dressed in their finest, mingled and exchanged pleasantries. For a while, everything felt perfect.Orchard and my father had planned this party together to celebrate my return to work and the success of TM Corp’s latest project. He had insisted on going all out, saying it was a way to show how proud he was of me. I couldn’t have been happier.But as the evening went on, something felt… off.It started when I noticed Orchard wasn’t by my side.At first, I thought he was just busy entertaining guests. He was always a great host, making sure everyone felt welcome. But after half an hour of not seeing him, I began to worry.I didn’t have much time to think about it, as I was soon called to the stage to give a speech.I wasted no time in my delivery, going straight to the point about how I was glad

Iris…Later that night, I found myself in a bar. I sat at the counter, staring at the glass in front of me. The amber liquid reflected the lights, and for a moment, I just stared.I never thought I’d end up here, drowning my sorrows in a bar. I’d always been the kind of person who believed problems were meant to be solved, not drowned. But tonight, the pain was too much to bear.I picked up the glass and downed it in one gulp.The burn of the alcohol in my throat distracted me, but only for a moment. The memories came rushing back like a tidal wave.The party. Orchard. The woman in the guest room.“Another,” I said to the bartender, sliding my glass toward him.He gave me a hesitant look but poured the drink anyway.As I sipped, my thoughts drifted back to how it all began.I had met Orchard in a bar as well, after Dave cheated on me. We had the most unhinged conversation, and somehow I ended on his bed the next morning.I smiled at the memory. But soon, I blinked back to the present

OrchardI drove back to my house that night, my mind swirling with confusion and pain. I had never felt so helpless in my life.I knew I had to give Iris space, but my heart couldn’t bear the thought of her hating me. How could I prove to her that I hadn’t betrayed her? That I would never do something like that?I couldn’t even answer those questions myself, but I knew one thing for sure: I wasn’t going to give up on her.For the next few days, I kept myself busy. Work at the office, meetings, and all the usual tasks I had to take care of. But no matter how much I tried to focus, my thoughts kept drifting back to Iris. I thought about the first time we met, the way her eyes sparkled when she laughed, her strength and beauty. I couldn’t lose that. I couldn’t lose her.In the evenings, I’d sit in my car outside her father’s house, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. But she wouldn’t come out, and I didn’t want to force her into something she wasn’t ready for.Then one day, I finally got
