Iris pov.

Phil did not have any change in his face, when he looked at us in that position.

“Sorry about the interruption, boss.” He apologized, bowing slightly before leaving the lounge and making sure to shut the door.

Vince's face was a complete contrast to his right hand man's face. He looked like this was something Phil shouldn't have seen.

He quickly stood up, from the position he was crouched in. “Don't do that again.”

His voice was so low, it literally sounded like a warning to me.

    Iris pov. “Do you know him, mom?” I asked confused. She wanted to reply, but placed her hand on her lips to stop any sound from coming out. Her eyes were still on Vince which was leaving me more confused, so I faced Vince. “Have you met my mother before ?” “No, this is my first time.” He replied immediately. “What's wrong with you mom? Is everything okay?” I asked her. Vince came closer to me and patted my hands. “I think you mom has a lot to tell you, I'll be right by the door. Call me if you need me.” “You should tell her everything, there's no point in hiding it or would you like me to?” He asked my mom, then left before she could even say a word. I tried to calm myself to fully understand what was going on here, but the tension was killing me from the inside. I could even feel my headache becoming worse. “Mom, how do you know him?” I asked again. “I don't think I have ever introduced you two.” “Baby.” She managed to say between sobs. “There's something I have to tell you.

  • One Night, Now He Wants Me.   Chapter 82

    Iris pov.When I opened my eyes first, everywhere looked strange. As I tried to understand my surroundings, I saw him. “Vince.” The word came out of my mouth, before I could think of anything.His eyes were bloodshot and he looked like he had not slept at all. So, when that phone call kept coming in, I asked him to take it.My mind tried to process what I had just gone through, I looked at the IV lines I was connected to and instinctively touched my head.“Phew! It's a good thing they cut from down here, if it had been any higher I'll have to do a messy bun on that miserable wedding day.” I whispered to myself.Even if I was not doing this with all of my heart, I still cared about appearances.Vince got off the call and stared at me, like he did something wrong.“Why do you look grim?” I asked. “Who was on the phone?”“Your mom.”“What?” I had completely forgotten about her, to think that she called now of all times. A mother's instinct for sure was always right. “Can you call her b

    Vince's pov.I’d paid them half a million, wired before the scalpel even touched her skin to buy this wing of the hospital for the night. This was different from her surgery bill, but I did not care at this point.“How did things go with the men who got her?” I asked Phil, when he came to check on me.“We have one with us, with time he'll spill and let us in.”“Don't go easy on him.” I looked at Phil with bloodshot eyes. “They're the reason she has to fight for her life in there.”“Alright boss.”He stepped out and brought me coffee, then left to handle things after some time. I paced until my legs burned, then sank into the chair again with my head in my hands.My Iris was going under those knives because of me. The guilt filled my chest, causing me pain I had never felt before. Right now, I was just a man terrified of losing the only light in his darkness.My phone buzzed with updates from the streets, about what had just gone down but I silenced it. Nothing mattered except the woma

    Vinces pov.“Boss, we found her.” Phil informed me, making my eyes to open.“Let's head out!” I thundered as I stood Phil looked at me for a second. “We can handle the rescue operation ourselves, you don't have to get involved. What if something goes wron—”I did not allow him to finish the words, before cutting him off. “She's already in danger and you expect me to choose safety?”“I'm sorry boss.”“Get everything ready, we're going together.”This time he did not try to argue. “Yes boss.”Within minutes, he had prepared my men and gathered all we needed as we headed out towards the location they had tracked.When the car came to a stop, I looked around and observed that it was some good distance away from where people lived.“Do you think gunshots will travel very far from here?” I asked Phil.“It's hard to tell, but I find that very unlikely.” Came the response.“Let's move in.” I signalled to my men as I took the lead.My boots hit the concrete like thunder as I kicked in the sid

    Iris pov.One thought crossed my mind after overhearing them. Vince was definitely looking for me.“At least, I know I'm safe now.”That made me feel some form of relief, as I closed my eyes and drifted away to sleep land with a smile.There was nothing peaceful about the way I slept, since I was tied up and could barely move around. But being in situations like this, gave you little to no choice on comfort.I was somewhere in that strange, heavy corridor between consciousness and sleep when the door slammed open so forcefully that it hit the concrete wall behind it.I opened my eyes and looked around, the air felt like it was another morning since it was hard to know what time it was.There were three men this time, the first two who had come before and a third I hadn't seen before. He was younger with the particular brand of restless energy that made him immediately the most dangerous person in the room. “Good morning.” I greeted them, before I could think.I mean, there is no one

  • One Night, Now He Wants Me.   Chapter 78

    Iris pov.When I opened my eyes, the first thing that hit me was the stench of sweat and blood together before I tried to adjust to the dim lighting in the room I was kept in.“How long have I been out for?” I asked myself as I tried to move around, then noticed I was tied up.“Wait a minute, have I been kidnapped or something?” I shook my head. “Maybe this is some kind of surprise or event planned for me, because I haven't made anyone angry to warrant this.”I moved my head to the side and tried to think harder. “Vince would never try something like this, it's too low and besides this doesn't even look like his place.”“Mike would not even dare try this, he would have to take permission from his perfect woman and I'm certain the vixen, will say no to it. Who could possibly do this?”Suddenly the thought hit me that, I could be in actual danger and none of the men I had considered, were even aware of it. I tried to stay calm, but only held it in for a minute before I screamed out loud

    Iris pov.“He's waiting for you upstairs.” They chorused again.It felt like this must have been rehearsed, judging by the way it was said in unison. I smiled, trying not to feel awkward as I made my way up upstairs.If he was upstairs, the only place I could think of was his bedroom. I knocked and

    Iris pov.“Why do you I feel like you have an ulterior motive for this?” I asked him, feeling a bit waryof how fast he was responding to me.“What do you mean?”“You did not even think before giving me answers to all the questions I asked.”“You told me not to think.” He reminded me.Oh shit! That

    Vince's pov.After Iris asked me to go back, I contemplated for about a split second before hitting reverse on my car.I went through all the work that was piled up for me on transactions, that were from my other business.“Is this everything there is, Phil?” I asked as I was halfway down with the

    Iris pov.“Why are you suggesting that out of the blue?” Mike looked at me in a suspicious way.“I just want our finances to be more managed, do you have an issue with that?” I pulled a straight face.“Well, I mean it's…” He rubbed his temple. “It's not a bad idea, I just need to think this through
