IRIS'S POV:It was embarrassing and amusing and since reporters were there, they had captured it and the whole world had laughed and I was just grateful that I never had to worry that she would come back. Sophie had accompanied Mariana when she went to see Miguel after he was released from prison, earlier this year. He told her he had learnt his lesson and he apologized from the depth of his heart and travelled out of the country. We all toasted to that piece of information, and Sophie was just different now. She and Robert had a small wedding three years ago at my Island and the two had two kids in a span of a year, which we all found totally amusing. As soon as she gave birth to her first cute baby boy, Paul, in a span of three months, she was pregnant yet again and we couldn't help but wonder if that was healthy. She birthed another boy, Peter, and she had a load on her hand.“Why are you seated here looking like a creep?” Scarlet interrupted my thoughts and I chuckled.“Taking a
IRIS'S POV:“We are married, Jonathan, and I believe in marriages, people don't just jump up and leave. You are my partner and my other half, I trust and love you and we both are going to make sure our kids are safe. You can be the sole warrior of my safety.” I added the last sentence jokingly and he smiled, pulling me for a kiss.“I love you with everything in me, my Queen.” He looked deeply into my eyes as uttered those and I smiled shyly.“I love you too, baby.” And we stretched for another warm passionate kiss, above the kids’ heads and we broke apart when we heard in unison, “Ewwwww..” Which made us laugh and showered the kids with kisses and I told them, “ I love you my smart little babies.”When we got home, our parents had already thrown a Welcome Back Home Party with so many gifts from well wishers from all over the world and food from the best of the best in the entire country of Simia, Jonathan's restaurant.We all partied, had fun and a little too much fun, because that n
IRIS'S POV:A FEW DAYS LATER:We had headed towards Roland's family house, and it seemed all eight of us had the same thought in my mind with how careful and gentle we were being. I couldn't help but think even though it seems childish,What if they weren't pleased that we were recovering our kids and they tossed us to the basement and locked us in there like in the movies? What if the old man who directed us here, left in a haste because he feared them and not because of his animals? I had no fear anyways, the police came with us, as well as our security, we were protected and we came bearing gifts in appreciation. As soon as I knocked on the door, Mrs Roland opened the door with a bright, beautiful smile on her face.“Good afternoon, how may I help you?” She asked, looking into my eyes deeply, standing before us in a blue scrub and my heart dropped a bit at the sight of a blood stain on her shirt.Jonathan cleared his throat and wrapped his around my waist, and said, “We are the p
IRIS'S POV:THE NEXT MORNING:Jonathan's arm was wrapped with a band and I was seated with him in the back seat of the black SUV headed to search for the kids with our friends driving in their respective cars, and my head rested on Jonathan's shoulder as he vividly described what happened last night.“We arrived at the house they had pinpointed was the location where the kids were around ten p.m, leaving two hours till when Emily was supposed to call me for the exchange. The cops quietly surrounded the building and from afar I watched them count down before bursting in. Everyone had given me strict warnings to not go in, and stay calm, so I obeyed….”Flashback:“There are two children's lives at stake, be cautious.” Jonathan's uncle reminded his men and they chorused, “Yes sir!”The cops barged into the house and Emily and Gabriel who were now trying to apologize to one another for blaming each other and insulting one another, were kissing in the bedroom, while Emily pictured Gabriel
IRIS'S POV:That same night:“No! No! NOOOOO!” I yelled at the top of my lungs, and the next thing I knew I was met with a pitch black surroundings.I shot up from the bed panting heavily, my chest rising and falling, and my hands shaking so much.It was just a dream….just a very bad dream.“Iris, what's going on? Come here Sweetheart.” Mrs Knight switched on the light of the room, and hurriedly embraced me with so much motherly affection and I slowly relaxed, feeling my head pounding and my hand hurting.My mum really gave me those pills.“Where's everyone? How long have I been asleep for? Did they find the twins? Where are my dad and my husband…?” I inquired, stammering out and she patted my back.“I need you to take deep breaths Iris, please. Alright? Inhale.” She instructed and I obliged, inhaling the warm air of the surroundings which smelt like the bouquet of flowers Carl brought earlier to cheer me up and she asked for me to exhale and I did just that.I did three more times an
