LOGINAuthor's POV The car door opened.“Iris, come,” the man in his forties said. Wrinkles and scars on his face told a long story. The hardness on his face lessened a little as he watched Iris walking out of the car like a ghost.“Iris, I am sorry. I know I should have informed you first but… this was important,” the man explained.But she didn’t look at him, as his words didn’t reach her. She just walked, her steps shaky, eyes unfocused and utterly hollow. The life inside her had been sucked out, and there only remained scattered bones and throbbing flesh.Iris just moved like a ghost. Every step was more trembling than the last one. Her mind was totally blank, as blocking the chaos going inside her body to protect her. Breath coming shallow.The man looked at her in guilt. Somehow he was the reason behind her state. He was the one who had thrown her there, still knowing the hell she would be walking through. This was new for her. He had never seen her this lost.Iris’s step froze on th
Author's POV Iris’s legs were hollow as she walked. Emotions were twisting in her stomach, making it hard to keep up with her walk. The mall had turned into a disaster. Her hand tightened around the gun as gunshots rang.Her eyes were scanning the whole place, trying to find that particular figure in that scattered place. Her steps were unsure on the marble floor hallway.Iris’s ears spiked as a bullet tore through the air towards her. Before she could react, with force her body got pulled away, getting smashed against someone, making her whisper in pain.Her eyes moved, only finding Xavier’s brown ones.“What the fuck are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to stay at the restroom?” Xavier gritted his teeth. Despite his hard voice, the concern was leaking through it.His hand ran across her body as he pulled her up with him, standing behind the wall. When he found no injury, relief washed over him.Iris’s eyes were moving, studying his expression the care, concern, and the flood of em
Author's POV Iris’s hand was seized in his rough one as they sat at the venue. The fresh flower smell filled the place. Iris’s eyes drifted to the entrance as the bride walked in; cheers filled the place.Iris’s eyes moved, capturing the beauty of the bride, who was looking exquisite.Her gaze landed beside her on Xavier, who was busy on his phone doing something while wrapping one hand around hers.“Xavier,” Iris mumbled.“Yes,” he answered, still not looking up.Silence followed as she didn’t speak up. Xavier looked up at her, only to find her whole focus on the stage where the marriage was going on.The bride on the stage was asked by the priest if she would take the groom as her lawful husband.“I won’t. This trash can doesn’t even deserve to stand here,” the bride said, making the whole crowd go silent. The girl pulled up her veil, smashing it on the ground.“What… what are you doing, Asha?” the groom looked horrified by her words as he tried to handle the situation while grippi
Xavier's POVI can feel her small hands blow on my skin. My hand tightens around her delicate neck as her eyes widen in fear. The way she looks at me makes something twist in me.If someone else was in her place, by now I could have put a hundred bullets deep into their throbbing flesh. Make them count for every inch of my skin they have touched.But… her I couldn't do anything. Fuck… I don't want to hurt her in this way. My fingers loosen around her neck. Her tense muscles loosen up. I can see the redness spread across her skin.She was breathing hard, the saliva strings smashed across her pink petals, tempting me in the worst way. My already tight pants, my dick twisted in need… fuck, she can tempt me in any way.Before my mind can react fully, my muscle memory clicks, wrapping her hair in my fist. I drag her into me, taking her soft, sweet petals in mine.She is the one and only one who can make me go crazy, doubt myself. I have seen every version of myself I never knew existed in
Author's POVXavier twisted the door handle, opening the door. His eyes scanned the hall and kitchen but didn’t find her. A slight frown appeared on his face as he strode towards the bedroom and opened the door.His eyes landed on the empty room. His heart pounded in his chest, his breath stopping for a moment at not seeing her there. Before he could do anything, a faint voice came from the balcony, making his breath resume.He walked towards the open space, his eyes landing on her, making his heart flutter.“Do you understand, Alaric?” Iris asked.A laptop sat on her lap as she was sitting on a swing, taking a lecture. It was almost 7 p.m. The children’s small faces flashed on her screen, not more than eight to ten years old.“Yes, ma’am, you are great and so beautiful,” the child said, smiling brightly.Iris smiled. She sensed his presence. She turned around, looking at him, making her breath catch.She turned to the screen. “Okay, let’s meet tomorrow after your school. Bye,” she sa
Author's POVIris’s hands started to sweat as uneasiness ran in her. She wiped her hands on her shirt. She anxiously walked into the hall, her breathing heavy, lost in her deep thoughts. She took steps that were scared.A sudden knock made her flinch hard, almost choking her breath in her throat. Her eyes crept to the door. Her hand moved to her chest, rubbing it, trying to ease the pounding of her heart.Who could it be now? The thought crawled into her mind, sending a shiver through her.She hesitated. She took steps towards the door, her hand wrapped around the handle. With a shaky breath, she opened the door.As she did, she met dazzling green eyes, only making her body more tense.“Hey!” Elena said. A bright smile made its way to her lips as her gaze fell on Iris. Her presence was light and warm, but it didn’t help Iris at all.“Hi… you’re here?” Iris questioned in a low, hesitant voice.“I am sorry, I should have informed you first…” she said in a slightly low voice, “but I want
