Iris POV Now I didn't expect that the first day that Arthur was gone I would miss him so badly.I didn't think it was going to be so vividly clear; that his absence would make a huge void, and I was right on the first day I tried to be as enthusiastic as I possibly could. I literally woke up on the right side of the bed and I did some light exercises and then went down to have my breakfast then my piano music teacher came along and he was giving me lessons telling me that my lack of sight was no hindrance at all to me learning the piano and I was so grateful for that hoping that I would impress Arthur when he eventually came back. However as the days began to pass by my excitement started to filter away and instead my days were filled with yearning for him and his returning.When he was present at least I could hear his voice even though most of the time it was raised above an octave to scold me… I didn't feel lonely. Yuri was mostly there just to take care of my needs but I felt
Iris POV The pilot's voice filled my ear, informing me and the other people that had boarded the plane that we had now arrived at our destination."We're here," Yuri said.I was bubbling with excitement all over, but I kept a straight face. Part of me was feeling guilty for lying to Yuri. Arthur had not contacted me once since he left. I made her believe that he did so she would bring me here telling her that there was something he wanted me specifically to bring to him. But I had to choose between being left in the dark and telling this lie and obviously I had made my choice. Now in a few moments I could finally talk to Arthur again. My heart was racing with so much anticipation and excitement that I didn't even mind if he was just going to yell at me the moment he saw me or how he was going to scold me later.After all, the man that had brought me to this world had said more harsh things to me than anybody else ever could, so we took a cab straight from the airport over to the ho
Iris POV I was clinging to Arthur's back despite how angry I was inside for always thinking otherwise.His voice had been cold when he asked that question earlier and it wasn't in the same cold way that he spoke to me most of the time, there was something that was different about the way he spoke, it sounded so deep and severe filled with spikes and hatred for whoever he was speaking to. If a gun had been planted in his hand he would have buried two bullets in the person's head without any hesitation at all.The tension in the room became so thick that a knife would have difficulty cutting through it. "Come on now Arthur don't be like that, I came all the way here to visit you…" "If I am going to be having any discussion concerning the business with anybody it is going to be either your father or your older sister but not you, So leave…" Arthur said shouting. So she was a business partner? I wondered…but why was he speaking to her so harshly? When they just had an intimate mome
Arthur’s POV.My feet's firm on the floor as I stood just a few inches away from Iris. I watched her trying to move away from my presence without having to fall or push anything off.One thing I admired about her was how smart and observant she was even in her state of blindness. She knew the hotel room in which she stayed was decorated with a lot of breakable objects.I couldn't help but move closer to her, I was pretty sure she noticed my warm breath on her forehead.Before I could even comprehend what was going on with me, I bent, adjusting to her height as I devoured her upper lips with my right hand teasing her face and my left hand firm on her waist.She moaned making me know she loved what I was doing.I proceeded to suck on her lower lips this time and then continued intangibly.It was becoming more intense than usual, realizing what I was doing I released her lips from mine as I watched her eyes widen in shock and her lips agape.“Arthur…” She muttered, still trying to let th
Arthur’s POV.Now, in the walls of my room, I stood with all my today's activities recalling in my head; The weird, unexplainable, and compromised ones most especially.I remembered the kiss I shared with Iris for some sort of reason I couldn't explain, the sharp pleasure I felt for a second before I returned to my goddamn senses, realizing that I had kissed my supposed enemy, Sabastian Scott’s daughter, Iris.I didn't give a hoot was all I knew. A kiss could mean anything. Not to leave out, the life I took. That big mouthed freak.Oh, I hate the sight of blood and the stuttering sound of a gunshot. Or even having to see someone fall and never get up again but nobody knew about this except my sister.It wasn't my fault In any manner, it could at least been avoided by that foolish snitch.A deep sigh of tiredness and relief was what I let out after this series of flashbacks. A sight of relief for at least sorting out the issue of the snitch and the trucker driver with the police.My t
Iris My head positioned on the pillow with my eyes opened slightly as I just woke up from my slumber. I noticed I was not feeling Arthur’s lumberjack body behind me. I turned around in order to try to see if he was probably laid on the other side of the bee but that went to waste because after my numerous search with my hands I realized he was not on the head any longer. Maybe he was in the bathroom or admiring the early morning raise just like I did before I lost my sight and so I decided to call out his name. “Arthur!” I called but no response still. As I sat upright on the bed wondering about the whereabouts I heard a knock on the door and felt relaxed. It was probably Arthur who came back but responded, telling the person to come in, I soon realize it was a maid. “Good morning ma.” She greeted politely. She went further to say why she was now within the walls of my hotel room. She explained Arthur had directed her to ensure I was ready by 12:00pm so we could return back to
Arthur’s POV.“This asshole!” I cursed from a distance as soon as I realized Kelvin had my phone with him and more annoyingly he was on a call to only goodness knows who.I rapidly rushed to where he was and pulled my phone away from his ear. “What are you doing? Who are you speaking to?” I bombarded him with numerous questions.“Chills man,” Kelvin responded.I felt relaxed hearing this, it meant it was not an important business partner so it could only be a friend of ours who called. Still, I was determined to see who was on the call and so I brought my phone close to me.Soon, I realized it was Iris.“What the freaking hell!” I exclaimed.“Why was Kelvin talking to her, did they know themselves from somewhere?” I soliloquized.Soon, I ranted out on the phone. “Why are you speaking to my friend, huh?” I questioned rudely.“None of your goddamn business Arthur. At least I spoke to someone who is well-mannered. I just hope you don't inculcate your traits in him.” She articulated. I co
Iris POVAfter my call with Arthur, I was relieved and relaxed for some reasons I could not comprehend even to myself but I found myself giggling inwardly.I became on usually excited to see Arthur but I still had to keep myself busy until his return.After numerous thoughts concerning what a blind person like me could do, I decided to ask the maids to walk me around the mansion at least for a while.They complied saying it was still safe since I was going to be by thier side at all time.One the maid, politely instructed me to take a seat for a while that she had to get guards to come along with us before I could even leave the house.Was this a chaarade? What was all these protection for? Even when I was supposed to be within the walls of the Mansion’s compound.Few minutes later, the maid came back and I could smell the aroma of different people. I couldn’t help but compliment their taste of perfumes.Politely and respectfully, they thanked me.The maid helped me and made sure I di
