Iris's p.o.v.
" I'm gonna get some groceries, you wanna come?" Megan asks as she throws on a baby blue tank top.
I slowly shake my head as I stayed rooted in the spot I had been laying since last night.
Megan's eye's clearly turn into one of sadness as she watched me. I didn't want that pity but sometimes in life you don't get what you want.
" Iris, I really don't know what to do. I'm confused and really broken at this, I don't even know if I'm trying well enough but I know we'll get through this" she says as she leans in to give me a comforting hug.
I don't reply her words, but I'm only believing them.
" I'll be back soon, okay?" She says again and walks out the door, shutting it behind her.
I finally feel the dawn of loneliness on me and unknowingly, my tears began to escape once again.
I couldn't help it, I've tried but

Hunter's p.o.v.I stepped into the office with practical everyone in there greeting their good mornings and giving me eyes of pity. Not surprised that they had heard the news too, the media didn't really give enough options to hide it. Yeah, my dad had forgotten to call in telling everyone to take the week off. So I had to do it personally today.Even after I was seated, some employees walked up to my office to practically pay their condolences. I wouldn't have liked it on a normal day but seeing it was just to show how much they cared, I actually thanked them for it.Most had shown concern for the whereabouts of Iris, I easily told them that she was alright. Although hiding the part where she had quit her job.Today, I really didn't know what to do. I didn't have a secretary and seeing as the

Third person p.o.v.Louie sat in the corner of the room, softly crying as she had been since yesterday. Her eyes were already puffy and reddened and her frail figure if possible, looked a lot more tinier than she had been two nights ago. She had deliberately refused to eat anything and it was slowly riling Santiago up. If she died of hunger in his arms not only would Soldo have his head but he would never forgive himself." You know... if you had a little something to eat, you might just fall asleep " He tried another tactic in wooing her into feeding. Santiago had sat on the floor a few feet from where Louisa had crouched herself and he watched her. He had assumed that leveling his height with hers would make himself seem a lot less intimidating, probably assuming that it was his size that frightens her. But it didn't work. She hadn't put any

Iris's p.o.v. After my conversation with Hunter's mom, her mood was severely dulled and soon enough our little hangout became awkward and we were already packing up to get home. On our silent walk back, Hunters mom's phone began buzzing and the moment she pulled it out of her purse, a smile fell on her lips." Been a really long time hun" she spoke into the receiver as we kept on going. I for one held my unfinished coffee in my hand and was slowly sipping on it.Her conversation was simply going on with a lot of 'oh' 'yeah' 'uhun' I think I heard some other sentences in between but I wasn't really paying attention." She's here with me" she said and I had no doubt that she was referring to me, so her conversation suddenly piqued my interest." Here, it's Phoebe " sh

An explanation to Hunter's mom's behavior in the previous chapter:Mrs McConnell was a woman who spent virtually almost half of her life training her son(Hunter), only to wake up one morning to hear that he was a bully and a rapist.No normal parent would believe such information immediately. Iris's parents worked for her, she had a part ownership with the school Iris had attended, yet not once did the news of her son bullying Iris come to her hearing.She wasn't trying to call Iris a liar but she's trying to get reasons why she should lose confidence in her own son ( typical reason why she was so questionable about Iris's own parents. No parent would have done what they did if Iris was truly going through pain) This explanation may not be enough to some of you but I'm simply trying to clear out any air of Mrs McConnell looking like she's tryna blame someone el

Hunter's p.o.v.Mr Reid was taking a lot more time than he had said he would. He was already here earlier when he had collected the tube containing Louisa's blood and left the room. It was already fifteen minutes past nine am but our meeting was scheduled for eight thirty. Apparently, he's forty five minutes late. So you can guess, forty five minutes of my mind wandering and making impossible guesses on what exactly was going on with Louisa. None of the images were pretty. I couldn't even have a seat, the rate of my blood pressure can cause a pop of my aorta if cause even the slightest obstruction of blood flow. No one had said a word to me this morning before I had stepped out, except Claudette who had offered that I at least have breakfast. Every other person looked at me like I was in possession of the devils trident. So

Third person P. O. VThe weather outside was a little too dull and mostly cloudy. Louie sat by the window and stared at the endless array of trees that surrounded the house she had found herself in, slowly and silently crying to herself again. She was all alone in the room as Santiago had stepped out a few minutes ago to get who'd shower her and at least buy her lunch. To him soldo was behaving a little too rash by leaving a frail looking five year old hungry for over six hours. But Louisa never complained. All she'd do is cry. Well she's been crying, what exactly do you expect a kidnapped child to do? As Santiago walked down the hallway to get her something from the kitchen, he mistakenly bumped into Ferreti. " Someone looks depressed" Her native Italian accent crawled into his ears. Santiago only l
