Iris pov.

Whatever Phil had called Vince for seemed very serious, because seconds rolled into minutes and hours, but he was no where in sight.

It was becoming hard to stay awake. “Why am I so sleepy?”

I asked myself that question multiple times, as I laid on the sofa and brought my leg close up to my upper body after hugging myself.

It did not take a long time before I drifted off to the land of sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was morning and I was in the bedroom. Vince's bedroom. I soft

    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.”“Seriously? We'll have all our money inside of it, what's there to think about? Are you hiding something from me? Don't you want to be with me again?” I bombarded him with questions, to get him off track.“Stop it.” He smiled at me. “I know you want what's best for us, so I'll do it. When should we sort that out?” “Perfect! I have everything sorted out already, you just have to transfer your money into it.” I told him excitedly.“What do you mean by that? How's that possible when you just told me about this?” The suspicious look on his face was back again.“I knew you were going to agree to it.” I bit my lower lip hard, but I knew I had to say it. “Baby, I just wanted to save you the str

    Iris pov.“Your phone is ringing, you should pick up.” I told him, staring at his face to see how he reacts.“Uhm, it's no one important.” He fidgeted in his seat.“But it's been ringing nonstop, do you want me to pick it up?” I joked and extended my hand to get his phone.Mike quickly snatched the phone when it was a few seconds away from my reach, making me laugh a little.“Don't worry, it could be work. You can go on and pick it up.” I said with a smile that was masking my inner feelings.“Thank you babe.” He quickly stood up and rushed to the bedroom to take the call.“That was really bold of you.” I said, when I was alone. “Let's do things your way then.”I got up, got in my car and drove out to my mom's place. Staying close to a man like Mike was making me feel cheap. Within a few minutes, my phone was blowing up with calls from him.Because I was driving, I ignored all of them until I got home. “Hey mom!” I called out, but no one answered.I saw a note sticking oj the refriger

    Iris pov.“What do you mean by why? He asked to meet.” I explained to Vince.“Don't spend the night there with him.” It was a bit faint, but I still heard traces of jealousy in his tone.“Sure thing.” I reassured him. “Wait, are you tracking me or something?”“Something close to that.”That was typical Vince style, he never hid the things he did and was always straightforward about everything.“Well, you should head back now if you're following me. I can take care of myself.” I smiled, when those words left my mouth.“Just so you know, there's a tracker on your car….I'll be monitoring it to see when you leave there.”“Yes boss.” I hung up.When I got to my house, I parked the car and walked into the house.A nice scent hit my nose first, before I could get to the living room. Mike had decorated the entire house with flowers, he was trying to hard to be romantic about things.I couldn't hide the smile that came to my face, when I saw the flowers that were everywhere.“I know you lovr

    Iris pov.I leaned in closer to Lena. “What does that mean?” “Are you joking around with me?” Lena asked in an amused tone. “He wants to get married to you faster, you should be happy about that.”“I don't know how to feel right now.” I said without thinking, before I quickly readjusted my tone. “I'm completely over the moon, girl…. Makes me wonder what was behind that push.”“Well it's just me, your girl, doing things for you.” She said.“What did you do Lena?” I asked trying to look like I gave two fucks about it.“I talked to him, after you complained yesterday.” She pushed her hair to the side. “He was very remorseful about everything, I bet when you two finally meet things are going to get very spicy.”“What would I ever do without you?” I pouted, looking at her. “About things getting very spicy, I don't think I'm very keen on that for the meantime.”“You're thinking more of an explosive wedding night, right?” She teased me.“Who else in the entire world, knows me as much as you

    Iris pov.“Come off it mom, what do you mean by that?” I said, after recovering from that momentary shock.“I know what I'm saying.” “I'm going to be late for work mom, can we have this discussion some other time?” I was becoming impatient.“It's fine, we can drop it entirely.” She sighed, looking at me. “I'm just happy that you're glowing again.”I had no idea when a tear fell off my face. “Thanks mom, I'm happy too.”“By the way, that cheater checked in on you last night.” She informed me. “I covered you up really well, there's no need to worry.”“You're an angel.” I blew her a kiss as I rushed out to the door.I got to my car and tried as much as possible, not to go beyond the speed limit as I kept staring at the time.When I got to the office, as expected Vince was already on seat. He had the don't mess with me look on his face, causing me to smile a little.I settled in nicely, and began to work. There was already a truckload of files, left for me on my desk.“Iris, my office no

Vince's bedroom. I softened a bit, when I realized that. He must have moved me, when I was still fast asleep.“My head hurts.” I murmured to myself as I carefully got down from the bed to use the restroom. Midway to it, I decided to take a warm bath instead. I took my sweet time to fill up the bath tub with water, that I adjusted to the temperature of my choice.After that I got into the bath tub and soaked in nicely. My eyes were still feeling heavy, so it did not take up to minute before I dozed off again because o

    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.”
