Chapter 39

~iris

I sucked in a shaky breath as her words settled, heavy and poisonous. Anastasia straightened, pacing slowly in front of me like a lecturer savoring her point.

“A father,” she said calmly, almost thoughtfully. “And his daughter.”

She stopped and looked at me,her head titling.” Do you even hear how that sounds when said out loud, iris?”

“ I didn't plan it,” I whispered, “ it's just happened…”

She laughed softly. Not loud. Not dramatic. Worse. Amused.

    ~Iris The council chamber felt suffocating,Not because of the heat,Not because of the candles flickering too brightly against the stone walls.But because everything lately…Everything felt like it was slipping just slightly out of my control.I stood at the head of the table well, beside it technically,papers laid out, voices overlapping, elders speaking one after another about territories, alliances, and minor disputes that suddenly felt so… irrelevant.Because none of this was the real problem.The real problem had a name.And he was currently somewhere in this house.Breathing.Walking.Existing.Annoying me.“You’re not listening, Luna,” one of the elders said carefully.I blinked, pulling myself back. “I am.”Mira, standing slightly behind me, leaned in just enough to whisper, “You’re thinking about him.”I didn’t even look at her. “Be quiet.”

    ~Kael Three days.Three days in this house and I already understood one thing very clearly…Nothing here was simple.Especially not her.I leaned against the doorway of the kitchen, arms folded, watching them before either of them noticed me.Iris Rivera stood by the counter, hair slightly messy like she hadn’t slept properly. There were faint shadows under her eyes, but she still carried herself like a queen.Composed,Controlled and Dangerous.And then there was Mira Calder,laughing, relaxed, like none of this chaos bothered her.Interesting.Very interesting.“I barely slept,” Iris was saying, frustration lacing her voice. “Because Kael keeps throwing these late-night parties.”I smirked slightly.So she noticed. Good.Mira laughed,Of course she did.“Why are you laughing?” Iris snapped.“Because,” Mira said, still amused, “he has no friends here. He’s doing it i

    ~Iris povIt had been three days.Three very long, very exhausting days.And Duncan still wasn’t back.I had honestly thought,hoped,that the moment I told him his first son had shown up and was already causing problems, he would drop everything and return immediately.But no.Of course not.So here I was.Stuck.In the same house,With a man who walked like he owned the place, talked like he feared nothing, and looked at me like I was both his enemy and… something else I didn’t want to think about.I sighed as I stepped into the kitchen, the faint smell of toast and coffee wrapping around me.Mira was already there,Of course she was.She stood by the counter, casually flipping toast like she didn’t have a care in the world.“Good morning, Luna,” she said, handing me a cup of coffee.“Hey, Mira,” I replied, taking it. “What are you doing here? You slept over?”

    ~kael.I didn’t slam the door.I wanted to.But I didn’t.Instead, I closed it slowly behind me, the quiet click echoing louder than any noise I could have made.Control.That’s what Eunice taught me.Control before chaos. Always.Still…My jaw tightened as I walked down the hallway, my hands flexing slightly at my sides.I could still feel it.Her.The heat of her skin when I pinned her to the wall. The defiance in her eyes when she should have been afraid. The way she stood there after I threw her,like it didn’t matter.Like I didn’t matter.I let out a low breath, dragging a hand through my hair.“That woman…” I muttered under my breath.She wasn’t what I expected.Not even close.I thought I’d walk in, see someone soft. Manipulative. Maybe even desperate to hold onto power.Instead?I got… that.Someone

    ~ Iris “Kael… what do you want?”My voice came out sharper than I intended, but I didn’t care. I was tired,mentally, emotionally,and he had walked in here like a storm I didn’t ask for.He didn’t answer immediately.Instead, he moved past me like he owned the room, like I was the intruder, and dropped onto the bed with careless ease.“Sit,” he said, gesturing lazily.I blinked.Then scoffed.“I don’t want to. Thanks,” I replied, folding my arms across my chest.He didn’t even look offended.“Suit yourself.”He reached for the glass on the table,my glass,and took a slow sip like he had every right to it.The audacity.“Iris Rivera,” he said after a moment, his gaze finally lifting to me. “You’re even prettier in person.”I didn’t respond.Not to that.Not to him.He smirked slightly, like my silence amused him.“So,” he continued, swirling the wine in the glass, “I’m guessing you want me gone.”I stayed quiet.“You hate me. You don’t want me here.” He leaned back, stretching slightly.

    ~ Iris POVI paced the length of the room, my steps sharp against the polished floor, irritation building with every unanswered call.Duncan wasn’t picking up.Of course he wasn’t.That man had a habit of disappearing the exact moment something important happened. Important like this. Important like his long-lost son,his first son..walking into my council chamber like he owned it.“Unbelievable…” I muttered under my breath, pulling the phone away from my ear before tossing it onto the bed.Silence followed.Heavy. Suffocating.My mind refused to rest.How did he find this place?How did he know so much about me?About everything?My stomach tightened.Eunice.It had to be her.That woman never moved without purpose. Never spoke without planting something dangerous underneath her words.I exhaled slowly and reached for the glass on the side table, pouring myself a drink with slightly unsteady hands. The liquid burned down my throat, but it did nothing to calm the storm inside me.Noth

    ~iris The phone kept vibrating in my hand, like it knew I was hesitating.Duncan.Just seeing his name pulled something loose in my chest, something I’d spent months carefully locking away. I hadn’t saved his number again. I didn’t need to. I could recognize it anywhere. Muscle memory. Emotional

    ~ IrisI walked out of Eunice’s office, slamming the door lightly behind me, my chest tight, and my thoughts spinning. Every time she did that,every time she smiled, leaned in, spoke that soft, deliberate voice,I felt that familiar irritation climb up my spine. It was like she thrived on the disrup

    ~ EuniceThe office was quiet, save for the faint click of my heels against the polished floor and the occasional rustle of papers. Sasha lounged lazily in the chair across from me, scrolling through her phone, but her attention flicked to me now and then, as if she was waiting for instructions.I

    ~ KyI knew Iris was drunk the moment I saw her.Not sloppy-drunk. Not loud.The dangerous kind. The kind where her eyes went soft and unfocused, where her walls slipped without her noticing.Alice noticed too. Everyone always did when it came to Iris. She drew attention without asking for it. With
