The Billionaire's Secret Obsession Chapter 165
IRISDressed in a bathrobe, I dried my hair with a towel, staring at my reflection in the mirror. I did look good as a blonde but going back to being brunette was the best decision ever. I smiled to myself considering how lucky I was to have someone like Les who paid attention to my needs. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the bedroom door before it opened. “Hola.” The familiar voice of my best friend sounded muted on the other side of the bathroom door. “Breakfast is heeerrrrreee.”“Be right there!” I yelled, combing through my semi-wet hair. Once I was done, I left the bathroom and stepped into the bedroom. with a shy smile.Hilda was already making two cups of tea when I walked in and it wasn’t until she had had a taste that she raised her head and saw me. “Ay dios mío!” Hilda said, which meant ‘Oh my God’ in Spanish.She had the expression of disbelief before a big smile spread on her face and she pulled me into an embrace. “My baby is back.” She said, holding on to me and I held on

IRISAfter Hilda left to catch a nap, I sent a text to Les asking where he was. Les: “James and I stepped out for a hot minute. Will be back soon. Do you miss me?”Me: “Mhmm. Let me think about that.” I replied with a thinking emoji at the end. “No.”Les: “I’m going to give you ten seconds to rectify that.” Me: “Or what?” I answered with a smirking emoji.Les: “Five seconds left…”Me: “Three. Two. One.” Les: “Nice. Don’t ask for mercy when I make you eat that word though.”A pleasant shiver ran through my body as my lips curled up in a mischievous smile. Me: “Is that a threat, Mr Scavo?”Les: “It’s a promise, Sweetness.”Me: “Hmm. Well, I’m going to catch a nap. We’ll see how good you are with your word.”Les: Be sure to sleep with one eye open, Beauty. The Beast can come for you at any time.My heart raced, and as a result, goosebumps rose on my skin and heat prickled the back of my neck. Excited and a little bit moist, I went under the covers thinking about him and what our futu

IRISThe sky was a clear blue and I watched as trees and cars passed us by while a country song played on the radio. Les was driving us back to our hometown specifically to my father's place while Hilda hitched a ride with James.A small smile bloomed on my face as I remembered her disgusted look when she realized she would be riding with James. I had never seen her affected by a man before. She was always so nonchalant when it came to men matters and sometimes even downright amused. Seeing her upset over James was a first for me since the last time she was ever this bothered was when she fell for a guy in high school but he didn't return the favor. Could it be that she likes James?“James and I will be going to Boondock city after I drop you off at your Dad's.” Les said and I immediately turned to him in alarm. “Wait what?” I queried. “Why?!”“We have to bury my Aunt.”A pang of guilt hit me as I remembered how Massimo had shot her in cold blood right in front of me. “But your Unc

IRISA cold shiver went through me as my father’s words sank in. “Excuse me?!” “Iris-” My father started to speak, but I raised a hand to cut him short.“So I was a mistake?”My father looked horrified for a second before he closed the distance between us. “No, no, no, no.” he said, coming to sit beside me. “You were never a mistake, Iris, and I am glad your mother chose to keep you.”“What if she hadn’t?” I sniffled and wiped a tear from my eye. “Would you have regretted it?”My father sighed. “I honestly don’t know. All I know is that I am happy she didn’t listen to me. Look at me.” He said, taking my hands in his, which in turn made me face him. “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me since your mother. You are not a mistake, and you never were. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to be a good father to you and give you the resources that you needed. I was fresh out of high school, inheriting a run-down port left behind by a drunken father. You can understand how having

IRIS“Can we still go about our day while we ruminate on this?” Les asked and I considered his request reasonable. “Sure.”I changed into one of the dresses he got me, and then we went downstairs to have brunch. All through, we ate in silence, and I hated it. I hated that I spoiled the mood between us and made it awkward with the topic of a child. After our brunch, Les took me on a tour of his mansion, and I was able to learn a few more things about him. Les was an artist who painted in his pastime, and I wondered how he was able to do that and still be an underground fighter during his teen years. I saw all the championship belts he had won and heard all the stories behind them. Then he showed me his car collections, the grounds which had a stable and two horses. By the time we were done that day, it was late evening, and we weren’t able to go shopping any more, but I didn’t mind. Getting to see a new side of him was refreshing. I got to learn that Les The Beast wasn’t really his

Chapter 56:IRISOver the next couple of days, I continued to send out applications and even tried writing some pieces but I realized I was experiencing a block. When I couldn't make headway, I sat down in front of a TV and watched some cartoons. It was my coping mechanism back at Massimo's house and it's starting to be my coping mechanism now. Cartoons weren't always at Les' place either. I was surprised when one day I received a delivery signed to me and when I opened it, I discovered Les had bought all variations of cartoons for me to watch. Along with some T-shirts with cartoon characters on them. Les continued to leave pleasant surprises for me while I carried my one unpleasant surprise inside my body and whenever talk about Taylor came up, he refused to talk about it and everyday I became more and more depressed.If I wasn't writing, I was also video calling my Dad or Hilda. Now that I had a working phone, I was able to access my old social media profiles. I came across a lo

LES“I see you've lost all your senses posting that girl online.”I rolled my eyes at my brother who was cleaning his pistol while holding a video call with me. The sun had just gone down over the horizon, casting my office in semi darkness while the landscape of New York city came alive with colorful night lights. “I guess you can call me ‘crazy’. Crazy about her.” I smiled as I shoveled some Chinese noodles into my mouth with chopsticks.“What you will be, is sorry if you don't stop.”I stopped chewing and glared at him. My brother didn't look at me. Instead, he continued to clean his weapon as if he didn't just say something disturbing. “Why would you say that?”“Because you're being a fool right now. Posting her for the world to see, especially for our Uncle to see, is like looking into the eye of a python and spitting in its face.”James was right. I was usually a very calculated mind but lately, I have been getting carried away by my affection for Iris and may have unintentio

LESI was in the throes of my own anger, but the moment I noticed the departure of my brother, my rage softened. One glance at Iris and she nodded at me to go after him, which I did. Entering the elevator, I pulled out my phone and accessed all the cameras to pinpoint my brother's location. It didn't take long to find him scurrying down the stairs to the ground floor. My brother has always been one to maintain composure in all things but now, from my point of view, he was an agitated mess. Pressing the button for the ground floo, I sighed and let the elevator begin its descent to the living room. Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like, if I had grown up with a good, normal father. Maybe I'd be some corporate guy living in a cute condo, married with one or two kids instead of having an irrational fear of intimacy and⁸8⁸⁸fatherhood. Maybe, I'd be a normal guy. But I'm not. Instead I'm messed up in the head, struggling with a trauma I wouldn't wish on anyone. Thank Go
