Iris pov.“Holla!” I exclaimed as I entered the sitting room, when I got back from the store. “What happened while I was away?”They both looked confused for a split second, before Lena coughed and broke the silence. “Nothing.” She quickly said. “He was just telling me about how far preparations were going for the wedding.”“Don't mind him, he likes to brag about that whenever he gets the chance.” I told Lena with a smile. “I'm almost done with the food, after I'm done adding my special ingredient I'll need your help Lena.”“Sure thing.” She said.Mike scurried over and helped carry the bag I had brought back from the store, to the kitchen. I smiled sweetly at him, before he went back to the sitting room.I brought out the ingredients I had gotten from the bag and started chopping some veggies, that I'll be needing for the salad. Even if they tried hard to hide it, I could not help but notice how uncomfortable they seemed to be in their various positions.After fifteen minutes, I ca

Iris pov.‘Damnit! Damnit! Damnit!’ I exclaimed in my head, as Vince pinned me down to the ground.He looked really stressed, when I took a closer look at his face. When he apologized, I could see that he genuinely meant it.So, I decided not to make a big deal out of it. As we made our way down to meet the guests that were waiting, my mind was a nervous wreck. Vince's perfume was the only soothing consolation I had.I knew for a fact that Mike and Lena were to be in attendance. It was the same party, Lena had informed me about.‘This is an opportunity, I should utilize very well.’ I thought in my head, as we stepped out of the elevator and faced the mini crowd.Almost everyone turned around to welcome us, since his arrival was announced. Vince chosed that moment to whisper in my ears, sending shivers down my spine.“The gossips are never going to stop at this rate “ I murmured.“Did you say something?” Vince asked, tilting his head towards mine.“No.” I said flashing him a forced smi

Vince's pov cont.There was something about the way her voice sounded. She was tired of acting like everything was fine, I could tell that much.“Alright, but just long enough for you to fall asleep.” I told her in a stern voice, as I closed the door and sat on a chair watching her.Iris turned to face me, with eyes that looked like a sad puppy. Too bad they don't work on me.She stood up quietly, still staggering, making me reach out to hold her. “You are so dumb!”“What?” I asked, trying to steady her.“I meant something else, when I said you should stay.” Her words were sounding funny already.“Iris, you should sleep.” I tried moving her to the bed, but surprisingly she resisted.“As long as you sleep with me.” There was a cheerful smile on her face, when she said those words. This caused me to stop and look at her carefully.“Stop playing around.” I warned her.This place was dangerous already, since we had been compromised. “Why are you yelling at me?” She asked, sobbing out of

Vince's pov.As soon as I got to my place, I saw Phil standing outside the mansion. He looked serious and I couldn't control my curiousity, as I stepped out the car.“What is happening?” I asked him.“You have a guest.”Interesting. “Who is it?”“Luciano.” He dropped the bomb.Laughing quietly while nodding, I walked inside trying hard to suppress the anger I was feeling.The air inside felt cold as I walked in, that was only fair because it was always that way when he was around.“Hello friend.” Luciano greeted, when he saw me.“Friend?” I asked with a frown. “I can't remember us being so close.”“Haha! You never change Vince.” He laughed out loud. “I will kill you as soon I get a chance.”“Yeah, I know that much about you.”“I'm glad that is the case.”“Why are you here?” “You are being rude, aren't you going to offer your guest wine or something?” He looked around carefully. “Nice place you got here.”“You haven't answered my question.” “Relax a bit, I was just passing by LA and

Iris pov.“What do you mean by that question, baby?” My mother asked, looking all hurt and tired. “Your father was a major stakeholder in different companies, his income sources were broad.”“Then why do you make it seem like he's some sort of mysterious man?”“How is he mysterious?”“I have never seen any of his photos, it's almost like he does not even exist.” I took a breath in. “Not even a single one of you with him, that is really suspicious if you ask me.”“He was always camera shy, that is why we…” “That sounds like a cover up for something. You said we should have no secrets between us, right?” I asked her. “Tell me what is really going on.”“Iris why are you nitpicking every single thing I say to you? What happened to the trust between us?” My mother asked.I paused and decided to let it die off, at least I got her mind off Vince who dropped me off. “Let's drop it mom, I'm tired.” “Who decided you get to bring this up and end things, whenever you want?” My mother looked re
