Iris pov.“You have got to be kidding me?” I almost hit my hands on the roof of the car as I threw my hands up, in frustration. “Like you're some kind of special man or something.”“I'm not going to lie, I did not expect you to join the drill. There were other plans for you.” His eyes were fixated on the road ahead, as he drove slowly.There was no way I could stop myself now, I was intrigued by what he just said. “What plans are you talking about?”“Why should I tell you, if it's not going to happen anyway?”It was hard believing that this man arguing and exchanging words with me like a normal couple, was a mafia lord. I was tempted to ask him if he had a personality disorder, but deep down, I knew I enjoyed every bit of us bickering like this.This was something I never really got to try with Mike, he wanted to have things his way every single time and I always let him.I smiled staring ahead, at least I knew what it felt like to be loved and wanted now. It was all thanks to my big

Iris pov.Boredom started hitting me hard, after my mom left the house. I picked up my phone and checked the time, it was just 8am. Lena was probably preparing for work by this time.“Hey girl, good morning.” I purred into my phone as soon as Lena picked, when I called her.“Hi love, good morning to you too.” She sounded a bit surprised. “Don't tell me you're at work already..” I crossed my fingers.“Why? I need to make money you know.”“I understand but are you at work right now?” “You are sounding weird today, everything good?” I knew she was being all suspicious about this.Standing up slowly, I placed the phone on my phone stand and switched to video call. “Come on, answer my question already.”“Oh my, you're still over at mom's.” She said as soon as the screen switched to video. “Are you planning on living there your entire life?”“Great! You're home.”“Yes, I'm prepping for work. Is there any problem?”“Don't go.”She moved closer to her phone and blinked hard. “What did you s

Iris pov.“Phil.” Lena sighed. “God, he’s so put together, tall, tattoos but in a classy way, opens doors, pays for everything without making it weird. Last night he took me to this rooftop place downtown, if it was up to me we would have kissed. But there was no pressure, no rushing things from him. It's magical how we just talked for hours.”My fingers tightened around my phone. Phil. The name rang a bell, it was definitely Vince's right hand man's name. But I could not be certain yet.“Phil what?” I asked casually, standing up to get some water from the refrigerator.Lena waved a hand. “He didn’t say his last name yet, you know how guys are. But he works in security consulting or something. He makes it sound super mysterious, but in a hot way.” I decided to test the water some more before making any conclusions. “I'm so happy for you girl, he might be filthy rich that why he's spoiling you like crazy.” “I'll let you in on what I really think.” Lena said. “It's hard to say he's ne

Iris pov.My heart was still racing from Vince’s hands on my skin when I answered Mom’s call. The second I heard her voice, a little too cheerful, I knew something was wrong. “I have to go, I'll be back soon.” I barely mumbled an excuse to Vince, who nodded like he understood and grabbed my blouse (missing two buttons, thanks to him), and flew out of that penthouse like the building was on fire. The drive home was a blur of red lights and honking horns. I kept thinking about her words, “Iris, baby, can you come home right now? I need to see you before I go.”I got to the house as fast as I could and parked the car hastily, and got out of it mumbling. “Where was she going to?”I opened our front doorand noticed the living room light was on, and there she was, bent over an open suitcase on the couch, folding her favorite blue sweater. My gaze went around the room in a flash, noting another bag sat by the door, already zipped. “Mom?” I dropped my purse and rushed over, breathing hard.

Vince's pov.“I think I can try to do that.” She said as she tried to stand and get dressed but fell almost as soon as she tried it. “Lean on me.” I told her as I helped her upI kept my hand on the small of Iris’s back all the way to the torture room, to support her body.She did not say much on the way there, but I could feel the tension coming from her. It was certain that her mom's sudden departure, had done something to her body.“You can still change your mind.” I told her quietly as the doors slid open. “Watching is one thing, staying through the screams is another.”Iris shook her head, her eyes steady. “I need to see this, everything feels so overwhelming right now. This might actually help me calm down a bit, although you have helped a lot already.”“I'm glad I could be of help.” A smile played on my face as we kept going.We walked down the narrow corridor until two guards were in sight, who nodded and opened the reinforced door. The torture room welcomed us with its famil
