MasukIris had always dreamed of a quiet life; a man who truly loved her, extending a saving hand from this suffocating fate, so they could grow old together in peace. But life had-other plans. “Please… Gabriel… enough… let me go…” Her voice trembled inside the locked room, punctuated by sobs. No door-would open, and no window offered escape. Trapped inside a-luxurious space that felt like a golden cage. Alone, surrounded by luxury never part of her dreams. Nothing remained but to wait for his return. When he entered, silence became suffocating. His eyes smiled, but seeing her tears, his expression darkened. He lifted her chin despite resistance, wiping her tears, whispering, “Iris… tell me what you want… and I will give it to you.” She stayed silent. Her-only desire was to vanish from this world. Anger flickered in her-eyes. In desperation, she bit his hand and pushed him away. “Get away-from me…” Her defiance only fueled his delight. She retreated, tears falling. He smiled faintly, as if losing his mind. “A child… isn’t that what you used to dream of?” He drew closer, voice calm. Iris trembled, turning away. “Tell me again… and I will make it happen… just stay with me.” He silenced her. She could not speak, trapped between fear and confusion. His presence filled every corner of the room, leaving no space for her thoughts. Iris lowered her gaze, struggling to breathe calmly, realizing that every refusal only tightened his hold. She understood that escape was impossible, no matter how much she resisted. The words she once wanted to shout faded into silence inside her mind. she recognized something far more unsettling.The truth finally became clear, though it was far too late.This was not love,It was something darker and far more dangerous.Obsession!!

She lay on the bed, her body enclosed within Gabriel's arms. He held her close in a steady, comforting embrace that wasn't suffocating. The warmth of his presence was the first thing she felt before she fully took in the room around her. The moment she remembered what had happened between them the night before—and the words he had whispered into her ear—her face flushed crimson. She wanted nothing more than to bury her face in a pillow and scream at the top of her lungs, but unfortunately, she was trapped... and far too exhausted. She tried to move her hand slightly. He noticed immediately. He closed the papers resting against his chest, then removed his silver glasses and placed them on the small table beside the bed. He turned to face her. At first, he said nothing. He simply looked at her for a long momen
He moved closer and spoke in a low voice."Part your lips a little."She hesitated for a moment, her breathing turning uneven before she reluctantly did as he asked. His gaze remained fixed on her, as though he was studying her reaction more than anything else.He kissed her gently at first, then pulled back slightly, watching the flustered expression on her face."You taste different..."Her cheeks immediately turned crimson, and she had no idea what to say.He leaned in again, but this time much more slowly, as if every movement had been carefully calculated. As time passed, the tension in her body gradually eased despite her obvious nervousness."Relax... there's no need to be nervous."His voice was softer than before, less teasing and far gentler.She closed her eyes for a moment, unable to understand exactly what she was feeling."The light... it's too bright.""Leave it. I want to see you more clearly."She fell silent.Then he whispered near her ear,"You're so beautiful, my l
Iris's POVWhen I felt his lips against mine, every negative emotion I had melted away, and I found myself completely absorbed in kissing him back.The men in my village had always tried to seduce me. Every one of them looked at me with burning desire, yet all I ever felt toward them was disgust and fear.But with this handsome man before me...Seeing that intense longing in his eyes made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.If I were ever to lose my purity and my virginity, I wanted it to be with him.Gab cupped my hips and lifted me effortlessly, as though I weighed nothing.My legs instinctively wrapped around his waist. I parted my lips to protest after suddenly remembering that this was his wedding night, but he seized the opportunity to deepen the kiss.When that soft warmth slipped into my mouth once again, my knees nearly gave out. I would have collapsed if he hadn't been holding me.Still kissing me—sometimes passionately, sometimes with a tenderness that sooth
Iris's pov: A whole week had passed…A week of watching the palace slowly transform into a place that no longer resembled itself.White flowers carpeted the long corridors, crystal chandeliers were lit since early morning, and servants moved briskly in every corner, as if the world would end if a single minor mistake occurred today.The wedding day of Gabriel and Katrina.Even the air felt different.Heavier.Colder.I stood before the mirror in silence while the maids pinned the final details of the bridesmaid dress around my body. It was soft, a pale silver color, with sheer sleeves and delicate, shimmering embroidery at the waist and chest.It was beautiful.So beautiful that it only made me want to cry more."It is perfect on you, Lady Iris," one of the maids said with a smile.I managed only a forced smile in return. I didn't want to look miserable. Not today. Katrina had always been kind to me. She didn't deserve these ugly feelings from me.But despite that…Every time I remem
