Iris was on her way to Jace’s office. She planned to confront him about Luca’s story of the accident. She already knew how to ask the questions so he wouldn’t be suspicious. She didn’t want him to know she suspected him.Something didn’t add up about Luca’s story and it was Jace’s involvement. At first, it would seem like a coincidence, but Iris had learnt the hard way that nothing with Jace was ever a coincidence.Iris got to Jace's door and was about to open it when she heard voices in a heated argument inside the office. Her hand hovered over the doorknob, and she leaned to press her ears against the door to listen well and quietly prayed that no one would pass by while she was eavesdropping.“Why are you here, Selene?” Jace snapped. “I told you not to come here. What if someone sees you? Are you insane?”“I don’t care about that. You should have thought about that before you tried to play smart with me” The woman hissed and Iris’s eyes widened in recognition. It was the same woman

The grip on her head was painful and the person was holding on very tight, preventing her from turning her head to see who had the painful hold on her.Her hand went out to grab the person’s hand on her hair to see if she could ease the burn the hold was causing as she was slammed back into a hard chest.“Ouch” She struggled fiercely, trying to free herself but all her efforts were futile. The person dragged her until they were hidden between the set of cars.Iris was forcefully pushed down so she was leaning over the hood of the car, her face pressing painfully against the metallic surface of the hood.It was then she saw the person who was manhandling her.“Jace? Are you crazy?” She yelled, anger overtaking the pain she was feeling “what do you think you are doing?” She growled and struggled harder against his hold, but he was stronger than her.Her heart pounded hard against her rib cage as she struggled uselessly against him. She knew he was going to come after her, and it was the

Iris could hear voices as she struggled to open her eyes. The voices were hushed, and it sounded as though they were far away, and she was submerged underwater.She tried to make out the voice but it was inaudible. She wanted to open her eyes, but it wouldn’t budge.Her eyelids were heavy, and her body numb but she was aware of the heat in her hand. Someone was holding her hand, brushing her hair and whispering into her ears words she couldn’t make out yet.She felt lips brush her forehead and it only made her desperation to wake up grow but the person hadn’t noticed her struggle yet as it was all happening in her head.Iris moaned and that seemed to get the attention of the person by her side. She wanted to desperately open her eyes, but she couldn’t.Her whole body was on fire, and it felt like she had been run over by a truck. She tried to tighten her hand around the one holding hers to let them know she was awake.Her hands didn’t do much, but they twitched, alerting the person th

Iris walked Alanna to the door. She wanted to go with her to the airport but her friend refused and insisted that she stay home to recover more even though she was fully better and was back to her normal state of mind.“Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you to the airport?” Iris asked her again while they watched the security men load her luggage into the trunk of the car.Luca’s parents had left three days back and had offered for Alanna to take their private jet with them but Alanna wanted to spend the week with her so she declined but she had to leave today because she had her internship and she only took a week off.“No, girlie. I’m fine and can make it myself. It was good seeing you again” Alanna said, grasping her hand “I’m glad you are happy. Luca loves you and you are surrounded by people who care for you so I’m no longer worried about you”“You are the best person I know,” Iris murmured against her neck as she hugged her.“I know” Alanna replied with a smirk as they

Nuel? Nuel, the runaway fiancé? Iris turned back to the Hispanic male at the door with a glare of her own. The man studied her with mild confusion before rudely brushing past her almost shoving her out of the way with his shoulders as he approached Hailey who was still frozen and in shock with his sudden appearance.The man was good-looking. Iris couldn’t deny that, but what he had done to her friend would never make him look less disgusting in her eyes, which was why Iris held so much venom for the man in front of her friend with a half-baked regretful expression.Iris wanted to pull him from Hailey and shove him out of the house but she knew it wasn’t her place. This was their matter and she would only interfere in Hailey needed her help but that didn’t mean she was going to leave this douchebag alone with Hailey just because she wouldn’t say anything.So she leaned against the door, arms folded across her chest as she watched whatever was about to unravel before her eyes.
