IRIS'S P.O.V"Why did you think I hugged you?" He said looking straight into my soul, I can't look away. His eyes drowned me deeper and made my head blank. They burnt, they burnt...for me?"You care... My lips paused, as my eyes roamed around his facial features, before going back to his blue eyes".. about me" I whispered, with my breath inches away from him.I want to bridge this darn gap.I see his eyes shake, but still I don't break the eye lock. The urge takes over me and make my head go mad. I feel my hand moving on it own, it rises up and I finally touch his skin...They are cold, manly, yet soft and delicate. I look into his eyes, he looked into mine. The world is standing still again.My hand touch his face, only to immediately stop. My eyes looks back at him, and I move my hands up, before touching his face yet again. I caressed his cheeks slowly, and watch his eyes close shut. My lips slowly curved.."Is this what it feels like to be attracted to someone....Love- hate, wh
IRIS'S P.O.VAfter that embarrassing night with Xavier and how he told me exactly what he thought of me, it felt like years living in this darn mansion, even though it has only just clocked the ninth month.The ninth month of ignoring each other and minding our own business, the ninth month of deceiving his mother, by behaving like couples anytime she was in front of us, the ninth month of sleeping on that God forsaken couch, while Xavier get the bed all to himself.All he cares about is the child, he cleared it up to me that night. I got everything I and my baby needed, and all my pregnancy cravings were never ignored. But damn, am I happy?It's the ninth month of seeing Xavier and acting like total strangers, even though when we accidentally touch hands, I feel a crazy sensation rising inside me. I don't think I am the only one that feels that darn way, but still this marriage is slowly coming it's end. What's there to hope for, we would eventually go our separate ways and I would
IRIS'S P.O.VI push the door open and walked in. Empty and pitch black, my heart leaped into my mouth.No one was inside, what kind of awful joke is this. My inner self screamed out, as I tried taking out my phone to turn on the touch, but it wasn't on my purse.Could I have left it at home?... My heart raced faster. I hate the dark, and I admit to myself that am scared. Damnit!.Fear danced around me, as I tried to find the light switch. I roamed my hand on the bare wall, before finally touching the button. A wave of relief washed over me as I flicked the button, but nothing lighted the office.What the fuck was happening!...With every passing minute, I felt goosebumps. I turned around and rushed to the door to get out of Xavier's office, but it didn't open. I tried again, but still the same thing.It was locked from the outside, but by who? My heart twisted. I swear I didn't see anyone out there, moments ago. Sweat drops fell off my face, as I kept on talking to no one in particula
XAVIER'S P.O.VI feel my heart arch, but I don't fucking care. All I can think about is her, I need to find her...My eyes wandering restlessly, I searched everywhere in the room, but she wasn't there."Could she have finally become fed up of me and vanish away" ... My crazy mind mocking me, I tried to remain calm, but my pathetic heart wouldn't let me, so it didn't take me minutes to run back down the stairs, jumping over most of them. The stairs, the house, I don't care about ruining all those material things, not one bit. I don't even care if I had fell as I ran down those darn stairs like a mad man.Nothing seem to matter anymore without her presence here."Iris!" I yelled out her name, without caring if I wake up all the house workers, but still I got no reply. I hold my head, feeling like am actually going to lose it any minute from now, before running out of the mansion."God damnit, where the fuck are you" The words leaving my lips, anyone would think the famous billionaire
XAVIER'S P.O.V"You'll be alright" The words left my lips, before letting go of her. I started the car, driving it back to the mansion.My damn office is ruined, but that didn't anger me. Iris somehow seemed to be the only one my entire self was worried about....."Is she alright doctor?" My eyes staring at the doctor longingly, I asked him for the hundredth time. He flashed me a brief smile, but still that didn't ease my cool.Even though Iris told me not to take her to the hospital, still that didn't mean the doctor couldn't come over here.She told me not to involve the doctor, but I disobey, and it makes me so mad at myself. Her words... I want to listen to everything Iris fucking says, I don't want to argue with her anymore.My eyes shifted back on the bed, I look at Iris's body...She's so delicate, I miss seeing her green eyes. My mind surprise me by whispering those words out, before feeling my blood boil yet again.The person responsible for the fire would regret ever being b
IRIS'S P.O.V...The early morning light blinding me, I shut my eyes immediately, before reopening them, as I tried to get use to the bright daylight.My eyes heavy, it was swollen because of all the tears I shedded. The damn tears I shedded because of my godforsaken life that would never be right. Cursing under my breath, I sat down on the bed as last night incident flashed into my mind."It's better this way" I mumbled to myself before getting out of the bed. My watermelon stomach added to my weight, yet that didn't stop me from going to the shower immediately to freshen up. I let the last droplets of cold water touch my bare body, before turning off the shower and putting something to wear.Putting on a baggy shirt gown, I immediately went back to Xavier's room, cause even if we were going to stay in separate room from now, still Mrs. Steel mustn't find out about what exactly was going on, until the marriage ends.Imagine the scene she would cause if she finds out that her perfect
IRIS'S P.O.V....The car drove away without stopping, and I go back to the house feeling defeated. He didn't even turn around to look at me one last time before leaving, I whispered, pressing my lips together feeling frustrated, before rethinking it through.Why on earth would he turn and look at me?. I frowned my lips, as much as I understand, I am nothing to him, infact he must be the happiest person right now, leaving me all alone.Fucking business trip or not, I believe this was all just pretence to finally run away from the mess in his life.I am the mess he's trying to get away from, but still it makes my heart act out of line, and I can't deny the fact, no matter how I try, that I am use to him.Damnit!Frustrated, I yelled out to myself, but all I receive was a sharp pain in my stomach as a reply. It feels so strange, and for a moment I actually feel like am going to die. The house workers kept on passing me by, noticing nothing, and it made me for a second ignore the weird
"CITY'S HOSPITAL, ROOM 102J"IRIS'S P.O.V...."My child"...I whispered and let the words play on my lips. Teardrop falls off my eyes, and the second after my vision becomes blurry wanting to fail me, but before I fall unconscious completely, I see him...He stood in front of the floor, startled and unsure of himself, whether to walk in or not. His blue eyes shinning ever so brightly, for a few second it pierced into mine, and made my heart beat madly again, before my eyes finally closes shut.It was Xavier! ....I squeezed my eyes, before reopening them again. My eyes adjusted to the light, and I saw I have already been conveyed to another room, but I knew too well I would not be able to remember how it happened no matter how hard I try. Waving the thoughts away I don't want to stress my brain, but instead I shift my gaze to the side, and my green eyes met his, it was only then I felt his touch, and his touch, as usual sent a weird sensation down my body.He sat on the side of m
