Iris POVMy eyes fluttered open and I gently rubbed them.I sighed and yawned widely, I was about to ring the bell that was just by the bedside to beckon on the maids when it hit me that there was no need, I could see! I chuckled excitedly and sprang to my feet.I did a little victory dance and couldn't stop laughing. I could see! I have no need for the maids, no need to be taken anywhere in the house, I don't have to depend on anyone before I move.I removed my clothes and went into the bathroom Stark naked, I didn't mind the fact that I had flung my clothes on the ground, I was beyond excited that for the first time in a very long time; I was going to bathe all by myself. I filled the bathtub with warm water, poured some spices in it, made a bubble bath and soaked myself in it.The feeling was different, I could see everything around me and I spent half an hour playing with the bubbles and bathing myself like I was some egg or baby.I dried myself with the towel and tied one around

Anna's POVSeeing the worried look on Iris's face, I decided to cover up the discussion and laughed.“Is he still locked up in his room?” I asked, diverting her attention from what had just happened.“Yes.” She replied sadly.I hummed softly and tapped my feet on the ground, she chuckled at this act of mine and I grabbed her hands, shocking her.“Follow me.” I said I'm a singsong tone.“Where to?” She asked, surprised.“To the beast's fortress, let's go knock until he opens up.” I said playfully.She shook her head and laughed softly.“Alright then, onward soldier!” She said playfully and we both laughed.We got to Arthur's doorstep and I knocked gently on the door. I got no response the first time and knocked again, this time louder.“It's no use, let's just go back.” Iris said, disheartened.I clicked my tongue and shook my head, there was no way I'd let him act like a tyrant and make the poor girl worried. Judging from the look on her face, it was obvious that she felt bad about be

Iris POVI stood there bewildered, unsure of what had just happened. It seemed more like a dream to me, a figment of my imagination. It would have been a dream save for the tingling sensation on my lips, they reminded me of the blissful moment that had passed yet lingering around.'Oh my god!' I quietly exclaimed, wondering what had just happened.I could but squeal happily, I had dreamt of those plum and madly inviting lips of Arthur since the day I set eyes on them but I had dismissed those thoughts as lewd and reminded myself that such would never happen, who knew that just a little provocation would make my dreams come through.Letting myself freely fall on the bed, I grabbed the pillow and happily hugged it, I was over the moon and couldn't explain exactly what I was feeling. One would think I was over-dramatic as I acted like a teenage fourteen years old girl who got her first kiss from her childhood crush, mine was more complicated as there was no active relationship between

Arthur's POVI couldn't focus on what I was doing as my mind kept flashing back to Iris. I fought the urge to descend the stairs and get her, but I knew she was with Anna and there was no place safer on Earth than with her.I tapped my fingers on the table impatiently, as I prayed for a miracle to happen, anything to bring her to me. I was confused at what was still holding her down and making her hesitate from coming to my office.Bringing her here was because I wanted to see her face, there's an irresistible urge in me that demands that I keep her by my side at all times.Though she was innocent and naive, which was why I allowed her to come with along to the office, I sighed as sipping the coffee I had just taken from the coffee maker in a far corner of my office.I was startled as the door opened all of a sudden and was ready to attack whatever or whoever it was that barged in, I softened my gaze as I saw it was Iris.“Arthur.” She drawled.I chuckled and pretended I wasn't an

Chapter 58Iris's POVArthur's absence came as a shock to me, especially after what transpired between us. I was disappointed and sad when a call interrupted our lovely moment, I felt angry that he had to pick up the call, maybe it's just me, but the movies I've watched made me understand that whenever something like that happens between two people with some chemistry between them, the man wouldn't pick up any call but rather kiss the woman fiercely or do whatever they did.But Arthur picking up the call meant it was important than what we shared, the thought that it was more important than me made me even angrier, through I was shocked at my spin of emotions, yet it did hurt a little bit. But Arthur would never hurt me intentionally, and the look of pain and hesitation in his eyes when he had to leave was evident. If it wasn't urgent, then he wouldn't have left.Placing me in Anna's care also showed that though something urgent came up, yet he was considerate of my safety and ensured
