Iris's p.o.v.
Thursday night and Hunter isn't back from work yet.
It's actually been three days since I confronted him about the letter and ever since the motivation to bring it up again had just vanished.
I softly tucked Louisa into bed and gathered her drawing supplies from her side to keep it on the night stand.
It was already late at night and what had kept me up was proof reading a contract BellStone had sent to us.
If I'm to presume it should be eleven pm or there about and when I picked up my cellphone to be sure, I was nearly correct.
10:47pm
A yawn escaped me before I could realize and that only made me aware of how exhausted I've been of recent.
It even feels like I don't get enough sleep.
I checked on Louie and used my hand to sweep away stray bangs of her hair that

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger!!Another update.. Enjoy ❤️------------Hunter's p.o.v"Wakey wakey" a tiny voice whispers into my ears and it echoed straight in my mind till I felt it was a part of my dreams." Upty Doo.. the sun is shining" she whispers again and then I agree it wasn't actually a dream but a full blown realistic voice." Rise and shiiiiiiiiiiiine" I groaned and turned around so I was laying on my back. Slowly and grudgingly opening my eyes till I met with bright blue ones that shined like a midnight star." You're up early" I chuckled and sat up straight and ran my hand through her hair to smoothen out it's roughness from her nights rest." Mommy would soon wake up and she'll not see me in bed" the small girl pouted but her eyes held

The little girl came down from the white Mercedes. Her smile wide as she tightened her grip on her backpack and inhaled the fresh air. She had enjoyed nights of sleep in her mother's arms, where sometimes she was told bedtime stories or sang some of her favorite tunes and lullaby.But last night had been entirely different. There had been no need for lullabies or stories. She had slept so softly and she felt completely refreshed. She couldn't miss the little affection she felt last night when he had returned from the bathroom after a quick shower and she pretended to be asleep. He gently covered her small bodice and gave a light kiss to her temple. She actually for once felt what her peers had described as the love of a father. That was when her dream walls shattered and she had to face reality.

Hunter's p.o.v Starting up work today wasn't as simple as I prayed it would be. I had already attended four unproductive meetings and figured out I haven't had anything for lunch.So much for staying healthy. The time was four pm and I guess it was time to at least have something to eat. After putting my laptop on sleep, I picked my cellphone, car keys and wallet to be sure I was good to go. As soon as I walked out the door, I met face to face with Iris who held a single file in her hand." Are you going home?" She asked in a little confusion and I wasn't surprised. I wasn't someone to leave the office so early." What do you have for me?" I changed the topic back to plain business and she took the hint that I was in no mood for a discuss

General p.o.v. She hadn't eaten at all as the unease filled her stomach, leaving her mother quite anxious but mostly sad.Honestly, Louisa couldn't ignore the jabs of hurt and pain from advertising on her face when she saw Mr Hunter prepare and leave for work early this morning.At some point of trying to eat breakfast, her eyes pricked with tears on the embarrassment she would face when she goes to school with Edward driving her once again.Immediately, her food was discarded because Cheryn noticed it wasn't going to be touched. Her mother sat across her and slowly yet sadly ate her cereal while she watched Louisa with fear in her eyes. To be truthful, she had never seen her active and brave daughter so downcast and broken to the point of seeing it clearly through her glistening eyeballs. She couldn't help but

Hunter's p.o.v.I took a deep breath and couldn't help but smile while I hopped out of the vehicle.I took in the environment with keen interest and I laughed at myself for what I have surprisingly become. Who would have thought that when I would be asked to choose between business and a kid, I would've chosen the kid? When I called Mr Reid a few minutes before changing my direction, he was okay with my change of plans but said we needed to discuss during his upcoming event.I've never been happier with procrastination in my life. I tightened my grip on the little gift I got Louisa from a breakfast store and checked the time once more.Seven thirteen.I've still got forty seven minutes before her first class bell goes off. Maybe I could drop by and s

Iris's p.o.v."Hello? Mom?" I spoke into the receiver with a subtle voice." Baby! I haven't heard from you in months. How are you?" My mother's voice chirpily rings through the phone. I let out a laugh and run my hands through my hair, feeling a little bad that I hadn't bothered calling them all this while and not also returning their calls.It really isn't much of my fault. No one wants to tell their parents that they are living under the same roof with the same guy who raped you years ago. Though it's partly their fault by not telling me that my current boss was their former boss." I'm good but mad at you" I pouted" Uh-what did we do?" Her voice sounding unsure about the situation." Well for starters, I should have known that I was working for The Mr McConnell" my words

Iris's p.o.v.—————" Louisa if I walk into that kitchen and see even your shadow, you'll be going to school with a bald head!" " Eeeeeeeeeeekk!!" I didn't need to turn around to see her running down the hallway, her footsteps were tiny but loud enough. That's what she gets for sneaking around with Jenny to steal cupcakes from the refrigerator. Her bedtime was an hour ago!Jenny's laughter preceded her presence in the living room where I was watching some TV." And we wonder where she gets her violence from" she chuckles again and I turn to view her leaning against the wall near to the kitchen door." I honestly wonder the same thing" I reply with a huff and throw myself back down to continue with my entertainment." You are hilarious" she laug

Hunter's p.o.v.-------" Yeah, tell Lily that she should set the readings. We'll be meeting in a few" I was giving out instructions when Chance walked in." And inform Ir-Miss Jules to get ready too. Thanks" I wasn't given the opportunity to keep the office line down before Chance began to hit me with his question." So when was I going to hear that you had an accident from you and not your hot receptionist two weeks after?" People have really got to stop sharing info about me without my consent." Well I guess I don't need to tell you anymore" I said with enough sly in my words." What's up with you?" He says after taking a seat across me." Oh I don't know, probably has something to do with the fact that I told you a secret and you telling Jules two hours later"
