Iris POV:I grumbled in annoyance and laid back on the hard bench. Sleep. I want to sleep. The teacher abruptly departed the classroom due to an emergency.It was English class, so most of the students were outside or bunking. The clock showed that it was 11 in the morning, the time passing painf
"Let's go," Edrick's voice cut through the tension, his gaze fixed on Elijah. "See you tonight, darling. I will try to come and accompany you there," Elijah's words lingered in the air as he engulfed me in a comforting hug and walked away. Edrick looked at me, smirking. "I will wait for you at th
She hummed, looking absently at the ceiling. "Ace said... you all hate the village," I said, feeling a nervous flutter in my chest as I bit my lip. Her frown upon hearing those words quickly dissipated. "Yes," she replied, her voice carrying an undercurrent of coldness. Curious, I ventured furth
"Su, this is not how I remember the dress we bought. What happened to it?" I questioned, my voice tinged with frustration.Su's eyes widened with excitement as she examined me. "Fuck, you're stupid to hide this sexy body under the baggy clothes" she exclaimed, lightly cupping my cheeks."Su, Ace, a
Su was right... Everyone was naked. I mean they were wearing dresses but god! my shirt is also larger than their dresses, shorts and tops.It's okay. Everyone is minding their business. Focusing on the task at hand, I resolved to seek out Ali.I roamed around the first floor witnessing a myriad of
"You're being a bitch" she retorted. Sighing, I shook my head in disbelief. "Call me rude and mean but really Edrick is not..a good boy" I remarked. Annoyed by my comment, she rolled her eyes and stormed off.Sipping on my juice, I couldn't help but worry that she might end up sad and crying ove
"You didn't think I would make it, did you?" his voice, tinged with playful teasing. I smiled and nodded my head in response. "Hmm.. Can't leave you here alone, darling" He murmured. His fingers trailed lightly down my bare back, sending a shiver down my spine. I took a small step back, my hands
Iris POV:I anxiously scanned the room, feeling the weight of everyone's attention shifting towards us. "Ali, let's go and talk somewhere else" I pleaded, my voice tinged with urgency. "NO! NO! " She screamed as it dripped with a mix of frustration and fury. "Let everyone see what type of girl yo
Why did I only notice it now?Ace chuckled—low, knowing."Do your work like a good whore," he murmured, his tone silky but laced with steel. "And show me your devotion, brat."He leaned back, and the pressure of his hands, which had been a constricting comfort around my body, vanished. Like a snake
I blinked, my breath hitching, frustration curling inside my chest."Please…" The whisper left me before I could stop it, before I could hold onto my pride. My head dipped down, shame curling my shoulders inward as I bit down on my lower lip. "Just one kiss. Even a peck."Ace clicked his tongue, th
“Don’t expect me to treat you like a good girl till I believe you’re sorry, Iris,” he murmured, his tone dark and taunting.Before I could process it, his thumb shoved past my lips, forcing them apart. My eyes flew wide, a muffled “Hmph” escaping as my hands shot up, fingers digging into his knees
“Sit on your knees.”…What?I froze.My smile slipped, and a soft “Huh?” escaped me before I could stop it.The warmth I’d felt a second ago twisted into something heavier, sharper, and I blinked at him, caught off guard.“You heard me, my sweet whore,” he said, leaning back with a smirk that stretc
I clenched my fists, inhaling sharply before narrowing my eyes at him.This man.This man would kill me.My fingers tugged at my top, pulling it back down as I tried to piece together what just happened.Why did he stop?I gulped, my throat dry, my body still traitorously warm. Ace smirked, draping
I sputtered, fisting my hands.“Boss,” Joy’s voice cut through my humiliation.“Wouldn’t Hudson sir be angry about what you just did to his sister? Should we, uh, step outside?”Ace didn’t even spare her a glance.“No. Stay here and do your work. I’ll do mine,” he said smoothly, like he hadn’t just
And he had the audacity to ignore me?He didn’t even say thank you!I glared at his back.“Boss,” I said, layering my voice with a little too much sweetness. “It’s past your lunch time. You should eat.”Nothing.Not even a glance.Ace continued flipping through his damn papers like I was invisible.
But it was probably not the sparkly, glittering fairy kind. More like the I-make-people-disappear kind.Joy. That’s her name.Wooow.A woman named Joy working at a place where she literally brings pain. “Oh yeah!! I remember now,” Joy exclaimed, her face lighting up like I was her long-lost best f
Damn it, Iris. Play it cool!His gaze didn’t waver. “May I know what you are doing here?”I cleared my throat. “Uh… just… passing by?”He arched a brow.I let out a nervous laugh and gestured to the air. “You know, just… admiring the architecture?”Then, he tilted his head toward the slightly open d
