Chapter 41

Iris’s POV Maya’s call came like a warm reprieve from the tension that had been building all morning.“Hey, you ready?” she asked, a teasing lilt in her voice. “Marcus told me to keep you occupied and relaxed, so I’m coming to get you.”I laughed softly, letting the sound tumble out like a secret. “Occupied and relaxed? That sounds dangerously perfect.”“Exactly,” she said. “I’ll be there in ten.”True to her word, she arrived quickly, the car already filled with her usual upbeat energy. I climbed in, letting her take the wheel while I sank into the seat, letting the luxury of being chauffeured sink in. Marcus’s thoughtfulness was oddly comforting. At least he had no idea how aware I was of the double life I was living.The spa was everything I needed. Soft music, scented oils, the faint whisper of other women pampering themselves. Maya took me through the usual: a pedicure that left my toes perfectly polished, a manicure that made me feel polished and untouchable, and finally a mass

Chapter 42

Iris’s POV When Marcus came home that evening, I was already waiting. I had stretched myself across the couch like I belonged there, one arm draped lazily over the backrest, legs tucked just enough to look effortless without trying. The soft glow of the lamp cast warm light over the room, and for once, everything felt carefully arranged.The door clicked open, and I turned my head slowly, as if I hadn’t been listening for that exact sound.“Hey,” he said, stepping inside, loosening his tie slightly as his eyes found me.I smiled, soft and inviting. “Hey.”“You look… relaxed,” he added, closing the door behind him.“I am,” I said lightly, pushing myself up from the couch. “You told me to be.”He chuckled under his breath, setting his keys aside. “I did.”I crossed the space between us slowly, not rushing and not hesitating either. When I reached him, I slid my arms around his neck and leaned in, pressing a warm kiss to his lips.It wasn’t hurried.It wasn’t shy.It lingered.Marcus re

Chapter 43

Iris's POV Maya’s call came just as I was closing my laptop, my thoughts still tangled in half written lines that felt a little too close to my own life. “Iris,” she said the moment I picked up, already breathless with urgency. “We have a situation.” I leaned back slowly, letting out a quiet breath. “That never sounds good. What did you do?” “I didn’t do anything,” she snapped. “Marcus did. He told me to pretend I’m taking you to a surprise party tonight.” I blinked once, then let out a soft laugh. “Oh….” “So now we have to make it believable,” she continued. “Hair, makeup, full prep. You have to look like you have no idea.” “I can do clueless,” I said easily. “It’s becoming a skill.” “I’m coming to get you in an hour. Be ready.” The call ended, and for a moment, I just stood there, letting the weight of it settle. A surprise party. For me. The idea was almost ironic, considering how much I already knew. I picked up my phone and typed quickly, my fingers moving without hesi

Chapter 44

Marcus’s POV I had not expected the nerves. I stood at the edge of the main hall in Aunt Helen’s house, watching the staff make final adjustments, smoothing out details that most people would never notice. Glasses were aligned, lights softened, music tested and lowered to the perfect background hum. Everything looked exactly the way I had imagined it. And still, something in my chest would not settle. Maybe it was because this was bigger than anything I had done before. Or maybe it was because this was the first time everything in my life was about to collide in one place. Three years. That was how long my father had been away in Singapore. Three years of calls, brief visits, and long stretches of distance that had quietly reshaped things between us. When he told me he was finally coming back home, I was happy to have him close. I still remembered the day I told him about Iris. It had been over a call in the simple and direct way we usually handled important things. “I’m enga

Chapter 45

Victor’s POV I saw her before anyone announced her and that was the problem. No matter how many people filled the room, no matter how carefully I kept my distance, my eyes found her first. It had always been that way. From the very first moment. And tonight, it was worse. Because she was not mine to stand beside. She was on my son’s arm. Laughing softly, tilting her head just enough as she listened to someone speak, her fingers resting lightly against Marcus’s sleeve like it was the most natural thing in the world. Like she belonged there. Publicly, she did but we both knew that she belonged to me. I lifted my glass slightly, more out of habit than desire, my gaze steady even as I battled with jealousy. I had spent three years away in Singapore building control into every part of my life. When I came back and met her, all of that fizzled away. I remembered the first time I saw her, I had walked to the door to welcome my son and his fiancée but when I saw her, there was nothing i

Chapter 46

Iris’s POV For one second, I could not breathe. Marcus’s voice came too close, too sudden, cutting straight through the moment like a blade. My heart slammed so hard it felt like it would burst out of my chest. I stepped back without thinking, my body reacting before my mind could catch up. I forced my face into something calm before I turned, even though my pulse was racing and my lips still felt warm from Victor’s kiss. “Hey,” Marcus said, stopping just short of us. His eyes moved between the two of us, not suspicious, just curious. “Are you both hiding back here?” I let out a small, breathy laugh, hoping it sounded natural. “I needed some air,” I said quickly. “It got a bit crowded in there.” Victor did not miss a beat. He stepped slightly to the side, giving me space, his expression composed in that effortless way of his. “She looked overwhelmed,” he added calmly. “I was just making sure she was alright.” I nodded, a little too fast. “Yeah. That’s all.” Marcus studied me

Chapter 47

Iris’s POV After that narrow escape, I stayed beside Marcus for as long as I could after that. I am definitely not finding myself in a precarious position this evening. I smiled when people spoke to me. I nodded at the right moments and laughed when I was supposed to. But inside, I was still in that hallway still feeling the press of Victor’s mouth against mine. I could still feel the trepidation that washed over me when I heard those footsteps. As I waited for the moment everything would fall apart. Every time Marcus stepped away, even for a second, my chest tightened. I did not want to be alone again where Victor could find me or where I might forget myself again. So I stayed close. Too close, maybe. At one point, Marcus wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me gently into his side as he spoke to one of his uncles. The warmth of him, the ease of it, should have grounded me. Instead, it made something twist inside me. Because I knew what I had done just minutes ago and I wa

Chapter 48

Iris's POV I could feel my heart beating so fast I feared Marcus would hear and I schooled my features into a calmness I clearly did not feel. My fingers curled slightly in my lap as I turned to look at him but his eyes were fixed on the road calmly and unaware of the war inside of me. I racked my head for an answer that would not break anything. I forced a small breath out, steadying myself before I spoke. “I went out for air,” I said, keeping my voice soft, natural. “It got a bit crowded inside.” That part was true although it was not the whole truth, it was close enough to stand on. Marcus nodded slightly, like that made sense. “And he was there?” he asked. I swallowed guiltily, my gaze drifting briefly to the window before returning to him. “Yeah,” I said. “ He was on the balcony. I didn’t expect to see him there.” My heart was beating too fast again. I could hear it in my ears, loud and insistent, like it was trying to betray me. I kept going. “I thought abou

Chapter 49

Iris’s POV We stayed like that for a while.Just standing in the middle of the living room like the night had not just tried to unravel everything around me. Marcus held me close, his hand moving slowly along my back in a way that to soothed me and settled me at least on the surface. I pulled back first, brushing a hand lightly over his chest as I stepped away. “I should change,” I said softly. “I feel like I’ve been in this all day.” Marcus smiled, relaxed now, the tension from earlier completely gone from his face. “Yeah, go ahead. I’ll lock up.” I nodded and turned toward the bedroom, my steps steady even though my thoughts were anything but. The second I closed the door behind me, I let out a breath I didn’t realize I had been holding. My reflection stared back at me from the mirror.I look composed for a girl who had just survived a night that should have exposed everything. I stepped closer to the mirror, my fingers brushing lightly over my lips without thinking. That was

Chapter 50

Iris’s POV His fingers tightened around my throat. “I know.” The words came out low, steady, and far too calm for the way his hands were pressing into my skin. I clawed at his wrists, my nails digging in, my body twisting beneath him as I tried to pull free. “I know what you’ve been doing.” My lungs burned. Panic surged through me, sharp and immediate. I tried to speak, to say his name, to deny it, but nothing came out except a strained, broken sound. “Marcus…” “You think I wouldn’t find out?” he cut in, his grip tightening just enough to make my vision blur at the edges. “You think I wouldn’t see it?” I shook my head frantically, tears spilling from my eyes, my fingers slipping against his skin as I tried to push him away. “I didn’t…” “Don’t lie.” His voice cracked then, and that scared me more than the anger. “Not after everything you’ve done.” My chest heaved uselessly. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. His weight pinned me down, his knees trapping my legs, his bod
