Iris’ Pov The house felt too small, too quiet. It was suffocating. I needed to get out, even if just for a little while. I put on my jacket, grabbed my purse, and made my way out the door. I had no destination in mind, just needed to walk, to clear my head.As I walked down the street, the cool air brushing against my face, I tried to push thoughts of Orchard away. It wasn’t easy, though. Everywhere I went, memories of him followed. His smile, his touch, the way he used to make me feel so safe. And now, everything felt like it had shattered in an instant.I was lost in my thoughts when a black car pulled up beside me. My heart raced, and my first instinct was to step back, unsure of who it was. The tinted window rolled down slowly, and I felt a wave of fear wash over me. But then I saw his face. Orchard’s father.“Miss Iris,” he said kindly. “May I have a moment of your time?”I hesitated for a second, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to talk to anyone about what had happened, but someth

Iris’ PovA part of me wanted to ignore it. I wasn’t ready to talk to him after what happened with Tiffany, but I knew he wouldn’t stop until I answered, so I sighed and swiped the screen.“What do you want” I asked, nonchalantly.“Iris,” Dave’s voice came through the phone,“I was wondering if you wanted to take a drive with me. We can talk, talk about Tiffany, I want to explain things to you.”I hesitated for a moment. I didn’t know if I could handle it. But something about his voice made me want to listen to him.“I don’t know, Dave,” I replied, “I’m not sure what you want to talk about.”“I just want to see you, Iris. I need to know you don’t see me as a monster, I only did that for you.”I closed my eyes, trying to think through my feelings. But the decision felt impossible. I knew Orchard would never understand. He would feel betrayed, and I didn’t want to hurt him. But what was I supposed to do?“I’ll go,” I said finally, unable to deny the part of me that wanted to see Dave and

Iris..I felt like the walls were closing in around me, and it became harder to breathe. My hands trembled as I clutched the phone, and the room seemed to tilt. I was too engrossed in my dilemma, that I didn’t realize Orchard had opened the door with a spare key. “Iris? What’s wrong? Who’s on the phone?” he asked, striding towards me.I couldn’t respond. My mind was spinning, replaying Dave’s words over and over. My voice was stuck, trapped beneath the weight of everything crashing down on me.“I’ll give you some time to think it over,” Dave said smoothly. “But don’t take too long. I’m not a patient man.”He hung up, leaving me in silence. I lowered the phone from my ear, staring at it blankly as tears welled up in my eyes.“Iris?” Orchard sat down beside me, his hand on my shoulder. “What’s going on? Who was that?”I looked at him, my vision blurred by tears. “It’s Dave,” I managed to say, my voice shaking.“What did he want?” Orchard asked, I could feel the anger radiating off him

Dave….The phone on my desk buzzed for the tenth time in the last hour. I glanced at the screen and saw my father’s name flashing again. With a frustrated sigh, I hit ignore. The man was relentless, always demanding answers, always sticking his nose where it didn’t belong.A minute later, my phone chimed with a text. I opened it and frowned at the words:“Pick up my call now, or I’ll make good on my promise to cut off your inheritance.”My lips twisted into a smirk, but deep down, I felt a flicker of annoyance. He knew how to push my buttons. Rolling my eyes, I hit the call button and leaned back in my chair.“Ah, there’s my obedient son,” my father’s deep voice greeted me, laced with sarcasm.“Obedient?” I shot back, matching his tone. “Are we resorting to threats now, old man? Can’t get me to answer like a civilized person?”“Don’t play games with me, David,” he snapped, his patience clearly worn thin. “What’s going on? And don’t lie to me.”“Nothing is going on,” I replied smoothly

Orchard…After I dropped Iris off at her father’s house, a deep frustration simmered inside me. She wouldn’t even talk to me, wouldn’t let me explain or even comfort her. But somehow, she was willing to hear Dave out, Dave, of all people. It hurt more than I wanted to admit.I tried to shake it off as I drove back home, but my hands gripped the steering wheel tighter with every passing mile. I couldn’t go home like this, not with my head buzzing and my emotions spiraling. Almost on instinct, I took a detour and pulled into the parking lot of a bar I hadn’t been to in years.Inside, the bar smelled faintly of stale beer. It was quiet, a few people scattered here and there. I walked straight to the counter and ordered a drink. The first glass went down quickly. The second, a little slower. By the third, the frustration started to blur, replaced by a dull ache in my chest.I stared at the glass in my hand, swirling the liquid around, when a shadow loomed over me. I looked up and froze.I

Dave’s PovThe phone call with Iris had ended but it yielded nothing. She’d refused to give me answers, again. It was the second call, and just like the first, it left me feeling more desperate than ever. I couldn’t keep waiting like this, helpless and in the dark.“I can’t do this anymore,” I muttered to myself. Without another thought, I started the car and headed for the police station.By the time I got the station’s parking lot, I could barely sit still. I jumped out of the car and stormed inside, looking for the one man I knew could help me—Hall.“Hall,” I said sharply. “Where’s Iris?”“She left already,” he replied. His voice was barely above a whisper. “What do you mean she left?”He looked up at me, surprised at first, then sighed. “Dave, calm down.”“Don’t tell me to calm down,” I snapped. “She was supposed to be here. You said she was arrested for murder. Murder, Hall! She can’t just walk out of here!”Hall leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples. “Look, man, I don

Dave’s Pov I sat in the cold cell, staring at the wall. The sound of distant footsteps and muffled voices echoed through the station. I’d been here for hours, maybe more. Time didn’t matter anymore.The arrest had been quick, almost too easy. The officers hadn’t said much, just that I had “a lot to answer for.” I didn’t argue or fight. What was the point? They knew enough to lock me up, and I didn’t have the strength to deny it.I leaned back against the wall, closing my eyes. For the first time in years, I felt small. Trapped. Powerless.Then, the sound of heavy footsteps broke my thoughts. I opened my eyes and looked toward the bars. A guard stood there, holding a clipboard.“You’ve got a visitor,” he said.I frowned. A visitor? Who could it be? Slowly, I stood up and followed the guard down the narrow hallway. My hands were cuffed, the cold metal biting into my skin.When we reached the visiting room, I stopped in my tracks. Sitting on the other side of the glass was my father.“S

Iris’s PovThe courtroom was quiet, save for the shuffling of papers and the occasional murmur from the gallery. This was the first day of the hearing against Dave, and everyone seemed to be holding their breaths, waiting for everything to be revealed.I sat at the back, beside Orchard, clutching my hands tightly in my lap. The tension in the room was unbearable, its effect gave me goosebumps.People whispered around me, but I couldn’t make out their words. All I could focus on was Dave, sitting at the defendant’s table.He looked… different. His usual air of confidence was gone. His shoulders were hunched, his hands fidgeting nervously. He glanced around the courtroom, but his eyes didn’t meet mine. For the first time, Dave looked like a man who had truly lost control.I had never seen him so defeated, so helpless. For some reason, it gave me satisfaction seeing him that way. I wanted him to suffer for everything he’s done. I knew he thought I should be grateful because he killed Ti

Dave’s PovAfter the trial ended, I was returned to the cell. I sat on the cold bench, staring at the walls that felt like they were closing in on me. Every second felt like a year, and every thought in my head screamed the same thing: How did it come to this?I wasn’t supposed to be here. I was supposed to be untouchable. This wasn’t the life I envisioned, and yet here I was, caged like an animal. I couldn’t help but think back to the conversation I had with my father. His voice still echoed in my head, sharp and heavy with disappointment.“I’ll think about it,” he had said when I begged him to help me. Think about it? I was his son. What was there to think about?I wanted to scream, to punch the walls, to demand that someone, anyone, get me out of this nightmare. And just as I was about to lose hope, a guard appeared, his voice cutting through the silence.“Mr. Rovers,” he barked. “You’ve been bailed out.”I shot up from the bench so quickly that I almost lost my balance. “What?”“Y

Orchard’s PovThe court session didn’t go as planned. It felt incomplete, like there was still more to be said. I was happy, though. Dave was finally being held responsible for his wrongdoings. It was only a matter of time.But even with the small victory in court, there were still things I couldn’t let go of. Iris and I had to talk, really talk. There were feelings, misunderstandings, and doubts we couldn’t ignore anymore. As we left the courthouse, I saw her walking ahead, she looked tired, not just physically, but emotionally.I caught up to her and asked, “Do you want me to take you to your dad’s house?” I thought maybe she’d want some space after everything.“No, it’s okay. Let’s just go home. We need to talk.” She replied.I nodded. “Alright, let’s go.”The drive home was quiet, I glanced at her a few times, but she just stared out the window. Her fingers fidgeted with the edge of her scarf, and I could tell she was deep in thought.When we got home, she walked in first. I follo
