FAZER LOGINTonight, I was going to show those cheaters who the boss was.Yesterday when I got back home, Mike was in the living room. As the front door opened, he turned his head slightly towards to see who was at the door. His eyes lit up in surprise at my appearance. I was still in the clothes Vince bought for me.“Why are you wearing something different, from what I saw you on earlier?” Mike asked.“I went shopping to feel better.” I replied dryly.“Babe, did you get a makeover done too?”“Are you saying I never look good in your eyes?” I answered his question, with a question.That made him pause. “I did not mean that…t.” He stuttered. “I'm sorry, I did not mean to hurt your feelings.”“Don't worry, I don't think you will ever be able to hurt me.” He looked at me like I was someone he had never seen before. I loved the reaction on his face as I walked away towards the bedroom.About half an hour when I was done freshening up, he came into the room.“Babe.. ?” I did not respond to him, unt
I was expecting more questions but her face relaxed and she simply nodded.“Alright.”The walk from my office down to the parking lot was filled with gossip from employees behind our backs that were hard to ignore.I did not care about trivial things like that, one look at the woman by my side told me they were unimportant to her as well and that thought made me feel more relaxed.In contrast, the drive was quiet. Not an awkward kind of quietness, it was the kind that was focused on something.I had not told her where we were going and she did not ask. That level of trust in me, was making me feel really good and pleased.When we stopped, she looked out the window then back at me.“Shopping?” She asked.“Yes.”“That’s unexpected.” Iris said with a smile.“Everything I do is calculated.” I replied.We stepped out of the car and walked into the store. My men were already positioned in key places around, to ensure our safety.The staff inside the store straightened immediately when they
Vince's pov.“You don’t walk into something like this empty.” I said quietly.Iris didn’t move as her eyes stayed on mine, waiting patiently for my next words.“If you want to take revenge.” I continued. “You don’t do it with anger. Take all the time you need to prepare, so it's a very clean revenge and hurts in ways they won’t see coming.”Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out from her. It's a good thing she did not interrupt me.“You were too calm with him.” I told her bluntly.“I didn’t want to react.” She said in defense.“That’s a start, but not a strategy.”“What’s the difference?” She asked.I stepped closer to her, lowering my voice enough for it to stay between us.“Control.” I said. “You don’t just hold yourself together. You control what the other person feels.”She watched me carefully. “How do I do that?”“Conversation.” I replied. “And silence.”She squinted her eyes. “Silence?”“Yes, people talk when they are uncomfortable ” I said. “They fill space when they
Mike slowed the moment he noticed Lena beside me.It would not be obvious to anyone who didn’t know him, but I knew this man. His steps did not stop immediately, but he was doing a bad job at concealing the surprise in his eyes. Lena felt even more uncomfortable, her shoulders stiffened as she turned towards his direction. I could see the feelings in their eyes. Even if it hurt me, I was happy watching them scuffle like cats that had been cornered.Mike had walked up to us and was standing in between the both of us.For a brief second, the three of us stood there in a quiet triangle that said too much without anyone speaking.He looked at the both of us, his gaze shifting from me to Lena, before resting on me at last.“Iris.” He said.“Mike.”“Mike.” Lena said, nervously.“Lena.” His eyes had a certain longing for her in them, I felt a sharp pain pass through me.Lena cleared her throat softly. “I’ll uhmm get back to work.”“No, please stay.” I insisted. “It's been a long time since
Iris pov.I didn’t take my eyes off him when I said it.“I’m ready to become your woman.”The words didn’t feel heavy when they left my mouth, but Vince didn’t respond immediately.He looked at me as if unsure of the words that just left my mouth.“You should know very well that I don't play around with things like that.” He said, looking at me straight in the eye.I looked over my shoulder at the slightly open door and stood on my toes to whisper to him. “You are my man now, so you better behave accordingly.”His eyes twitched as if he was trying to understand what I meant. I smiled, loving the effect this was having on him and walked towards the door.“I'll be in my office, Sir.” I said, as I kept walking.“Shut the door.” Came the order.My lips curled up as I slowly faced him, after shutting the door.“Is there a problem, Sir?” I asked him, with a straight face.His eyes had turned possessive as he closed the binds on the windows. It was almost like he had a different aura, a very
The door shut behind me with a quiet click, sealing away the man’s muffled groans and the scent of blood that was in the air. I rolled my sleeves down slowly, as I nodded at Phil who looked like he has something to say.“She left.” Phil said from where he stood.I glanced at him briefly. “I know.”“Clean it up.” I instructed him. “You and the rest, know what to do.”“Yes, boss.”My mind began to wander to Iris. The way she had stared at me, as if trying to understand what I was doing. It did not sit right with me, but I found it intriguing..I reached my bedroom door and pushed it open without thinking, I had to wash off all this blood from my body.But when my eyes went over the bed, I noticed someone. Iris. She was there on my bed, arm tucked under her head, the other resting loosely against the sheets like she hadn’t meant to fall asleep at all.That position made it look like she was waiting for me. I stepped inside quietly, closing the door behind me with care this time. My ey
