Iris’ pov
I woke up to see no one in the room. ‘Has Damon left?’ I asked no one, as I glanced around the empty space.This wasn’t what I expected. I had tried to stay awake earlier,to look at Damon. I had missed him a little. But why did he have to leave right after saving me? I mean, he was also injured.I hadn’t realized tears were already falling down my face. I wiped them away and stood up.“Arghh, shit,my back,” I cried out. The pain was still sharp, still crazy. I went to the balcony, my usual spot, where the night breeze blew through. It was cold. It dried my tears.It kissed my skin.The city was busier. There were car lights, hanging street lights. I gazed at the sky,the full moon cast its bright luminance over the city. Little crystal stars hung in place, forming different patterns as you traced them together. It was beautiful.I suddenly felt hungry and remembered the half-made veggies and undercookedIris’ PovI stopped in my tracks. Was that really Damon? Was that who just apologized to me? I pinched myself a little to make sure I wasn't daydreaming. Damon, the monster who just wanted to torture me to death,just apologized? I must have heard wrongly, I said inwardly as I pulled down the doorknob to leave."I'm sorry, little Iris, I'm Sorry" he repeated, his voice calm yet authoritative,very firm, like he was clenching his teeth between words.I took my hands off the doorknob as I turned to look at him. He was on his knees on the bed, his head bowed. His hands were clenched into tight fists, his veins bulging.What was wrong with him? I walked a little closer. I could hear my heart pounding in my chest. But what worse has Damon not done? I guess choking me was really the worst.Just as I was about to leave, I caught sight of the red stain on the back of his shirt. I hadn’t noticed it earlier.I had just remembered he had a back injury earlier, when Kendrick was cleaning it up. I h
Damon’s povI sighed deeply, running my hands through my hair. I was only lying quietly for a second, and she got all panicked to the point where she had a panic attack.I stared at her sleeping figure in the bed , she looked like a fairy. I had finally calmed her down after several mutterings of things I’ve never said in my life.I went to the bathroom, talking to myself, and placed my back under the cold shower. The blood mixed with the water as it flowed down. This was better than Kendrick.I walked into the kitchen, where she had left her unprepared meal before I abducted her.“Shit… how do I continue this?” I asked aloud, staring at different recipes spread across the marble counter. I really needed to bring back my maids.I punched the marble hard, just realizing Kendrick had said the exact same thing before he left.Rolling up my sleeves, I did whatever came to mind. I knew it would come out well,there’s nothing I begin that I don’t finish excellently.I placed the dumplings ba
Damon’s povI walked into the basement,it was as early as 2 a.m.Dragging a heavy metal rod on the floor, I strolled toward the basement where Julian was locked up.“Motherfucker,” Julian cursed as we locked gazes.“Backstabber,” I responded, chuckling. I held the metal rod tight against the wall as I lit up a cigarette. It was an attitude for me.I smoke before and during a torture. The screams and gun sounds were therapeutic.I glanced at Julian again, sizing him up with my eyes. His face was covered with traces of blood. His fair, white skin now bruised. His hands were tied against the metal chain.“I will make sure to bring you down,” Julian said, then paused and laughed loudly. “You're worth nothing without me, you know? And yes,I’ve given the Zch…..”“Ahhhhhh!” Before he could complete his words, I hit him directly in the groin, earning a loud scream from him.“Giving Zach access was a brave move, Julian. I had thought you’d learned enough,” I said in disappointment.“You mother
Damon’s povGetting out of the basement, I had just finished with Julian. He would breathe his last breath in 33 minutes. I stopped in my steps and looked at him, then at the guards."I won’t hesitate to end the life of whoever touches my pet," I said coldly. With that, I turned my gaze back to Julian. Kneeling on one knee in front of him, I leaned closer.He was still coughing up blood. “Fuck you,” I muttered, then stood and turned to leave.It was the last.I was covered in blood,Julian’s blood. I had hit him countless times with the metal rod. After watching the CCTV footage of him tutoring Iris, I couldn’t wait for the next day to torture him.As I watched the footage, Julian placed a glass of cold water on Iris's breast through her dress. She struggled out of his grip, but Julian pulled her back in place and even dared to hit her for not cooperating.He grabbed her lips, claiming them as his own, and dared to bite and kiss her, intertwining her tongue with his. I felt like tearin
Iris’ povI wanted more of Damon, but I also didn’t want him. This feeling I’ve been having lately,I only hope these aren’t feelings I’m developing for Damon. He was a dangerous monster. What he wants from me is nothing but a sex toy.I could remember his words: “You are nothing but my sex toy.” Kaila had mentioned the same.I want to lay obediently on the bed the way he wants it, but the pleasure he was giving me,his gentle touch, his soft words whispering in my ear...After dinner earlier, Damon stepped out and left. I was wondering if I’d done something wrong. I waited a little but fell asleep on the couch.Feeling like my breath was being held, I jerked awake to see Damon all covered in blood again.I had tried to grab him to help with his wounds, but he didn’t let me.Damon stood away from my body and took off his bloody shirt. I wanted him to come back, but he didn’t. He left for the bathroom. I climbed down from the bed, all naked. I tried to put on my clothes when Damon came o
Iris’s povI had just finished packing up the little I could. Since there wasn't a maid in the house, it was a lot easier to run away. Damon wasn’t here. No maid to stop me. Damon didn't lock the door as well like he always did,or David would usually help him do that,so I didn't have to jump through the balcony windows. I limped out of the room.I didn’t pack up clothes; they weren’t mine. I just wore a black, thin jean pant and a black sweater. Since it was 5pm in the evening and the sun was already setting, I didn’t have to worry about getting a taxi.The weather was a little gloomy, like it was going to rain, but not anytime soon.I quickly limped out of the huge gate and walked to the roadside, wavering my hands to stop a taxi,to just take me far away. I wasn’t familiar with this environment, but I was sure I would find my way out.I chuckled softly. I was finally free. I was free from the monster."Hey, little ma’am, do you want to go somewhere?" a driver asked as he stopped in f
Iris’s povI breathed a sigh of relief as I heard police sirens coming in. They were so quick."Hey! Come,""Kaila, where are you?""Mum!""Kaila, my daughter!""Dad?""Hey! Drop that!""He's a thief!""Mum, I found you….I was scared..."My legs suddenly felt wobbly as my memories began to act up,just being the little girl crying sadly, looking for her mum. And the mother seemed to be looking too. The joy in her face when she finally found her mum..."Everyone, please calm down! He is a criminal who escaped from prison. Everything has been sorted out," the police announced as they handcuffed the person who had fired the gunshot into the air, terrifying everyone.The chaotic atmosphere cleared up as quickly as it had come,but another was about to begin. Thunderstruck loudly, accompanied by heavy rain.This place was new to me. I had planned to have a bit of fun here and get a little bit of shelter, as long as I left the mansion,as long as I was far away from him.I didn’t take any clot
Iris’s povI woke up, stretching my numb body. The sun reflected off the window. It’s been two weeks since I moved to this new town,everyone seems friendly and kind.Thanks to the strange man, he had rented a little apartment for me, and I found a job.“Ohhh yeah, my job…..shit!” I quickly got off the bed and rushed to the shower.Since I started working, I was always being scolded for coming in late,because I kept oversleeping.Getting into the shower, I began washing up. As I was rinsing the soap off my face, the water suddenly stopped. At that moment, I heard a knock at the door.“Ahhhh….damn, my face!” My face was still covered with soap as I fumbled around blindly for a towel.Finally, I found something soft and wiped the soap from my eyes. The knock came again. I quickly grabbed a towel to cover my body and hurried to the door.“Hello, who’s there….” My hand froze in mid-air as I saw Andrew. He was the gentleman who had helped me out that night.“Hey, little girl. Sorry I came t
Iris’s POVI sat down in the quiet, dark basement, staring hard at nowhere. Since it was dark, my vision seems blurred.“Damon!!!” I stood up, yelling and screaming at the top of my voice, hoping he would come back. He can't lock me up here. I’m a human, not an animal without emotions.“Damon, please let me out.” I cried out, tears falling as my heart pounded hard against my chest, nervousness gripping me.Banging hard on the metallic door, its echo sounded loudly in the quiet room. I hit it with all my might, but it was all in vain, no response, and my hands ached a lot.I suddenly felt a splitting headache and sat down on the floor, leaning my back against the door. Holding my breath and squeezing my fists, I tried not to make any more sound. Fear gripped me. I was scared of being alone here.I had just remembered when I was stuck in the rain Andrew had come to help me. Though he had become fierce all of a sudden, he didn’t change his kindness. It breaks my heart even more thinking
Damon’s povThe perfect body, perfect lips, and perfect boobs,I had finally found her, but in the most terrible way.I punched Zach so hard that I wanted to take out all his facial features, including his ability to see.Worst of all, Iris dared to try to protect him,those eyes I had missed were pouring out tears. Not for me. Not for when I bullied her. But for this hell of a motherfucker. With that thought, I punched him again, yanking Iris away from shielding him."Damon, let me go!" I heard Iris’s tearful voice from behind as I gestured for the other guards to hold her in place.I shot a death glare at her. How dare she shed those tears for Zach? With that, I kicked Zach hard in the groin, earning a loud growl from him."Damon, you monster!" Iris screamed again, sobbing my name through her tears,those damn tears.The deep squeezed i felt in my chest intensified even more, knowing that my pet wasn't crying because of me. Those tears weren’t mine,they were for the motherfucker, my da
Damon’s POV It’s been two damn weeks since I last saw my pet, Iris. I had drowned myself in work, starved myself countless times, and taken endless cold showers to ease the burning need , but hell, nothing was working. Maybe I had given her too much freedom yesterday. She dared to run away. But what she didn’t realize was that I hadn’t forgotten one thing this time , the damn tracking device. I had searched the city top to bottom for her. Leaning back lazily in my chair, I lit a cigarette and strolled out to the balcony, my gaze fixed on the streets below , the glowing lamps, the passing cars, the towering buildings. I couldn’t help but slam my palm against the glass in frustration. If I got my hands on Iris... I would rip her in two. How dare she leave my premises after I had bought her?She was mine.And what’s mine can never belong to anyone else. No matter how hard I
Iris’s POV I looked at Andrew, who had an even uglier expression on his face. "Why did I end up thinking I could use you as bait? You've been with me for a whole fucking two weeks, and that motherfucker hasn’t come for you," Andrew said angrily, hitting the steering wheel. It was late at night. The sky was dark, and there wasn’t a moon, but indeed there were clusters of cyst-like stars scattered across the sky. The side street lights radiated over the dark road, and the busy people around began to walk while others moved around on tricycles. This moment only reminded me of myself. I felt sticky and disgusting. My body was filled with my own gut feeling, and Andrew kept yelling things I didn't understand. After a few more rides, Andrew parked at a corner. "Get out," he ordered, his voice cold and commanding. I opened the car door and stepped out. Just as I pulled my legs out, I was suddenly pulled back by a hard gr
Iris’s POV"Iris, let's go home," Andrew said, pulling my hand."Hey, let go! I want to have fun with my friends," I protested, pulling my hand back."It's late, and you're drunk. It's not safe here," Andrew mentioned, attempting to pull my hand again, but I held them to myself."I would have to make sure they both get home safely, then yes, I would go," I said, gesturing a ‘no’ to Andrew."Oh my gosh, who's this handsome guy? Iris, not fair! You didn't tell us you had a boyfriend!" Ava yelled."No, no, no! He isn't my boyfriend, he is Andrew, a friend," I explained with dizzy eyes. I wasn’t drunk, but I knew the beer had a little impact on my sight and my head."No way! He is handsome. Hello!" Ava smiled, raising her hands lazily to Andrew.I couldn’t help but chuckle. Though I didn't know Andrew that much, I knew he wasn't the friendly type.I still wondered why he had helped me... me, that night.Turning to Andrew, I met with his face darkened."You are new here, Iris. You think yo
Iris’s pov "Iris, what exactly can you do? What the hell is this? Just a few plates you were carrying and now they're all over the restaurant! I'm going to deduct all this wastage from your salary!" My boss exclaimed. I stood frozen to the ground. I felt both a hot sensation on my skin and a deep ache forming in my chest, along with a pain in my head. Damn , my skin can get bruised, but why my salary? "Hey Iris, what the hell happened?" I heard Mia’s voice from behind me. I glanced at Scott; she had a smug smile on her lips. "Oh shit, come on in. I’ll clean it up while you clean yourself up." "Sure, thank you," I said as I turned toward the bathroom. I stared at my reflection in the bathroom mirror. I smiled slightly, trying to curb the anger in my chest. I felt like walking up to Scott and giving her what she deserved, but that would only make me lose my job. Looking at my dress, now stained with hotpot meal, I felt lost for a moment. What should I do? It was like the universe
Iris’s pov I was taken aback at his words,"Damon’s."How did he know Damon? Who was he? Who was Andrew?I stood frozen to the ground, my chest pounding so hard I could hear my heartbeat. I gripped the hem of my dress as my body shivered. I never knew until now the influence Damon had on me. Even just the mention of his name was enough to make my body go numb. I knew he was capable of anything, but I never expected him to still get to me,even after moving to a small town. These past few weeks, I had finally felt peaceful.Though I hadn’t had the chance to breathe in the wonderful smell of red roses or enjoy the view from the balcony or under the streetlight, I had peace,until now. Andrew stood tall, his left hand deep in his pocket. He rubbed the space between his brows. I didn’t want to listen to his blabber and quickly headed out to work. “Heyyy, Little Petel! Off to work again?” “Yes, Miss Jenkins.”
