Iris POV "This is Linda, she will be your personal makeup artist and stylist for tonight's party…" My jaw instantly fell to the floor when I opened my bedroom door and the first thing I heard was that coming from Arthur and then I heard a friendly hello coming from the woman that he had introduced to me. I had not imagined that he would go as far as hiring a makeup artist and stylist just because of me. I didn't know if I was supposed to feel flattered or worried. My mind didn't get a chance to conclude on either in emotion before the two of them stormed in together. He also began to speak to Linda as if I was not even physically present in the room. "I want her to look as presentable as possible like a decent person so that nobody would even think for a second that she is of a low class.." Now I was almost tempted to wave my hand in order to remind the two of them that I was still in the room the makeup artist Linda acknowledged me but as for this jerk he kept speaking as if t
Arthur POVOh, no she's hot.I had been subconsciously battling with my attraction to this person from the moment that she was dragged out of that burning edifice and when I first saw her looking all dolled up I was almost ready to lose that battle immediately if it wasn't for the fact that someone else was in the bedroom with us. That didn't mean that I was forcefully going to have my way with her, from what I have seen, I will just have to sway her with my charm and then.. I almost gave myself a heavy slap across the face as these thoughts began to run through my mind and at the same time I was keeping a poker expression trying to ignore her so badly by focusing on the makeup artist who was not helping the situation by constantly referring to her again. That was because I wanted to remain in the embrace of denial as long as possible because I couldn't imagine myself being attracted to the spawn of Sebastian Scott I felt like I was betrayed my parents for even being attracted t
Arthur POVI told myself that I would have a sip or two before I knew it already had two glasses. Well that was my fault. I wasn't usually such a lightweight when it comes to drinking.But for some reason tonight things were different and as the music continued to roll it took me a while to realize that I had another woman in my armsThe lady in question had her eyes glittering and she had a smile that went from one ear to another I found myself looking down at her before I paused in the midst of the music stepping back and breaking her hold on me her eyes went wide with shock surprise then she tried to approach me and I took another step back bumping into another pair that had been dancing she became more bewildered by my reaction."Any problem sweetheart?"“I will pretend as if I didn’t hear you address me as sweetheart” .“Where is Iris?” I demanded to know from the woman who Crowley shrugged her shoulders helplessly.“Who is Iris?” She asked and I felt my fingers running throu
Iris POV I really have to stay on my toes when it comes to this man. One second I was complaining at the top of my voice and then the next his lips were embracing mine, and I wasn’t stopping him.Despite knowing he was toying with my feelings I deepened the kiss holding his face this time to around.He was fierce and intense with passion as if he had wanted to do this for so long and my body was responding to his every touch.His hands roamed around my body reaching my boobs and squeezing it making me moan in pleasure.Just when I thought we were going deeper he pulled away I was breathless.For a moment I could not even remember what I had been doing before that and when I finally did and realized how quickly I had shut up my face went red with embarrassment.This was our second kiss and it was better than the first.I tried imagining what he would be thinking but knowing Arthur, he wouldn’t say anything about the kiss. I found my fingers running through my messed up hair, a feelin
Arthur POV I don't even know why I bothered to explain the incident that happened the night before to her.She could have gone on imagining me as a monster that I wanted her to picture me as and everything would have been fine but when I saw her face descending from the stairs as she was coming down to join me for breakfast it was really bad on my appetite and after contemplating it between a few mouthfuls I decided that I wasn't really at loss if I told her that she was supposed to be grateful to me. At least that was what I thought before but now looking back on it it was making me look like some kind of knight in shining armor and I wanted to be the horrible monster for her because I'm not the man that will save her On other things, now I just had to patiently sit back and allow the information about the party to circulate around and around until it reached the ears of her bastard father that she was in my custody then I'll see what more he makes on this chess table called li
Iris POV A day had already passed, and the awareness that Arthur's business trip was getting closer. Even though I was scared of the man, he was still the most familiar person in my life right now. My heart thumped regarding the incident when his former business partner almost ended my life. I was scared that something would happen again but the problem was that he wouldn't be around to defend me. But he wasn't bothered at all and I didn't want to look so dependent on him,so I rolled heavily from one side of my bed to another. Most of the time I was still sleeping or lounging around in my bed, with nothing at all today so many things that I used to enjoy before in the past were impossible because now I could no longer see.I was wondering how people in my condition had fun, maybe because I was only focusing on the negative in my life perhaps there was so much more that I had not allowed myself to this cover these thoughts were keeping me up on my bed rolling over and over aga
Arthur POV "Sir, Welcome we've been waiting for you." I handed my briefcase to a lanky looking male at my side as I walked into one of the most expensive five-star hotels of the town where the ship was going to dock with my supply, before coming here my man had done it all expression of the place and they were still planted in strategic positions in case of anything that might arise.This hotel had actually been arranged for me by my supplier, but I wasn't going to waltz in without a care in the world. One of the ones I made it to the top was not by being careless and overly trusting of people. The interior of the hotel was more impressive than I expected it to be and I found it to be giving a cozy and classy feeling but I didn't have much time to admire it then because there was also something else prepared for me for my supplier in the top suite of this hotel on the uppermost floor. Now the elevator ride feels like it has lasted for a hundred years with two of my men behind m
Iris POV Now I didn't expect that the first day that Arthur was gone I would miss him so badly.I didn't think it was going to be so vividly clear; that his absence would make a huge void, and I was right on the first day I tried to be as enthusiastic as I possibly could. I literally woke up on the right side of the bed and I did some light exercises and then went down to have my breakfast then my piano music teacher came along and he was giving me lessons telling me that my lack of sight was no hindrance at all to me learning the piano and I was so grateful for that hoping that I would impress Arthur when he eventually came back. However as the days began to pass by my excitement started to filter away and instead my days were filled with yearning for him and his returning.When he was present at least I could hear his voice even though most of the time it was raised above an octave to scold me… I didn't feel lonely. Yuri was mostly there just to take care of my needs but I felt
