Iris pov.

“Holla!” I exclaimed as I entered the sitting room, when I got back from the store. “What happened while I was away?”

They both looked confused for a split second, before Lena coughed and broke the silence.

“Nothing.” She quickly said. “He was just telling me about how far preparations were going for the wedding.”

“Don't mind him, he likes to brag about that whenever he gets the chance.” I told Lena with a smile. “I'm almost done with the food, after I'm done adding my special ingred

    Iris pov.‘Damnit! Damnit! Damnit!’ I exclaimed in my head, as Vince pinned me down to the ground.He looked really stressed, when I took a closer look at his face. When he apologized, I could see that he genuinely meant it.So, I decided not to make a big deal out of it. As we made our way down to meet the guests that were waiting, my mind was a nervous wreck. Vince's perfume was the only soothing consolation I had.I knew for a fact that Mike and Lena were to be in attendance. It was the same party, Lena had informed me about.‘This is an opportunity, I should utilize very well.’ I thought in my head, as we stepped out of the elevator and faced the mini crowd.Almost everyone turned around to welcome us, since his arrival was announced. Vince chosed that moment to whisper in my ears, sending shivers down my spine.“The gossips are never going to stop at this rate “ I murmured.“Did you say something?” Vince asked, tilting his head towards mine.“No.” I said flashing him a forced smi

    Vince's pov.My work as a CEO continued smoothly for the next couple of days. The other work, it was a complete mess trying to track down the devil in town.I noticed the rumors in the office had died down a bit, although some employees still glared hard whenever I called Iris into my office.Once I discovered that was their reaction every time, I stopped using the phone to cal her. Opening my door and calling her in, became more preferable.I smirked as I walked up to the door and called out for her, again. “In my office, Ms. Iris.”“Yes Sir.” She said with a smug look on her face.She understood what I was doing, but did not seem to mind that it was petty. Within a minute, she knocked as usual on my door and came in.“Do you need something, Sir?” She asked.There was one thing I liked about her. The remarkable ability to remain professional when the situation demands it.“There is a company dinner later today, I want you to come in with me.” I told her blankly, without mincing words

I smiled sweetly at him, before he went back to the sitting room.I brought out the ingredients I had gotten from the bag and started chopping some veggies, that I'll be needing for the salad. Even if they tried hard to hide it, I could not help but notice how uncomfortable they seemed to be in their various positions.After fifteen minutes, I ca

    Vince's pov.I look straight ahead as I watched Iris get into her house, trying to steady my expression. The Luciano I know does not move around just for fun, there must be a reason behind this. I have to find out what it is.As soon as I got to my house, I quickly went to my room to take a warm shower for the rough days ahead. I had not even close the door for a minute, when it flung open again.I knew who it was before any sound came from the intruder. “Boss.” Phil's chill voice flooded my room.I looked at him completely uninterested, if it was something important he will spill.“We noticed some movements in town and decided to check it out.” He started 🦜 talking. “After some time, we figured out it was Luciano.”“You have made that part pretty clear already.” I said in a pretty annoyed voice.“We caught some man tailing you.” He let it out finally.My eyes piqued with interest. “Where is he?”“He is in the torture room, we tried to make him break in the basement but he did not b

    Tonight, 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

    Iris povI did not know when my life became this complicated. One moment, I was planning a wedding with the man I thought I loved. The next, I was standing in my kitchen that suddenly felt too small, watching that same man unpack his clothes like nothing had changed.Mike dropped his bag on the co

    Vince's povAs the sound of her heels running in the hallway got to my ears, I smiled in satisfaction.I did not like it, but it was good to know I still had that touch to me.I picked up my phone and called Phil.“Hello boss.” His voice sounded over the phone.“Make the necessary arrangements, we m

    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 reveng

    Iris pov.I did not believe him at first.Even as the words left his mouth, I stood there in my office, staring at him like he had just told me the most ridiculous joke.“I am a mafia boss.” Vince said calmly, like he was telling me his job title was manager or director.I blinked. “That is not funn
