Alexander's POVTaking two steps at a time, I ran like my life is just about to end.Reaching my condo, I quickly punched the codes, and entering I found the condo empty, with no sound.Frowning, I ran towards my bedroom, opening it, I found the lights, switched off.When I switched on the lights, my heart stopped for a sec, seeing the breathtaking view of Iris wearing red lingerie, covered by a see-through shrug. I have never seen anything so sexy in my consciousness.I kept looking at her. No words were voiced. My eyes trailed from her brown hairs which she had curled, her face natural, the way she knows I like, to be honest, I was shamelessly perving on her."Xander..." my angel whispered my name meekly."Damn Iris! Do you want to kill me?" my voice came huskily. The smile on her lips transformed into a cute pout. "Huh?" she was confused, "I thought you will like it," she whined like a baby, and that's my angel, no matter how sexily she dresses, she stays simple, due to her inn
Iris's POV When I woke up I found myself still in the same room. Only this time I was not tied. I was on the floor and when I looked around and saw the darkness from the transparent I know the moon replaced the sun. My body is aching, mustering courage I stood and went towards the bed and laid on it, eyes fixed on the ceiling, a lot of things are running through my head and all these thoughts has drained me completely, reason in no time I felt my eyes once again droop and I soon enough I slept again. I have been locked in this room, for 3 days. With no visitors. No hope. Every day I feel myself drowning in a pit of darkness, where I try to find myself but find no light to follow. The last three days made me aware of what people go through when they have heart-wrenching nightmares. Every time my nightmares are the same. I will see myself in the same park, wearing a pink barbie dress, smiling widely at my mom who brought me ice cream as the sun shine brightly above us and green f
Jacob's POV I kept looking ahead to the road, trying to focus. But thoughts after thoughts are creating so much havoc in my life that's making me want to pause things and just sleep. Simply, I want to run away from everything, that's happening around me. And it's not like I wanted to be involved but somehow I did, because somehow I became the center of everything. And that's not anyone else's fault it's mine. My feelings are the reason I am here, where I am supposed to...What am I supposed to do I don't know, I am lost. I don't know what my plot is here, I am just here. I am doing what felt right to me and I am going wherever my life is taking me. I don't know whether I will regret my decision or will be proud, I just know that I needed to make a decision. The decision wasn't easy for me. Because the decision I made, made me put the most important person in my life in trouble. The one person I feel everything for is going to be the person who will hate me for what I did to her.
Alexander's POVSeconds, minutes, hours, days, and now a week passed with no news of Iris's whereabouts.A week of me without my angel. A week of her being god knows where and in what condition. And a week of me feeling helpless and like a failure. One week of me constantly failing my promises everything that I ever said to her. Wherever I try searching for her I find myself at a dead end. No, where to go from there. It's like I am surrounded by roads but they all reach nowhere, they all are tangled, twisted in a way that once I start walking, I reach where I started. Clueless. It's all so messy that nothing is making sense. First Josh then Blair. And why Iris?So many questions. So many secrets. And I was so oblivious to all these conspiracies around me. Nothing is making sense when we caught up to Josh, I felt now is the time I will finally be able to be with My Angel. Finally, I will get answers. I punched him, kicked him almost killed him but still I am empty-handed noth
Iris's POV"Bang!!!!" "Xander!!!!!" I screamed. My heart thumping with fear let out of my chest. My eyes closed due to the loud sound. For a sec I didn't want to open my eyes, fearing what I might see. But the other second my heart wants to break the ropes to run to Xander and engulf him in my embrace to protect him from any harm.Slowly I opened my eyes. And when I saw the scene in front of me, tears uncontrollably started trickling my cheeks. I want nothing more than to run into his arms and hide there forever. My heart will explode from the happiness that I am feeling. He is fine. He is not hurt. And the fulfillment that filled my heart seeing him ok was inexpressible. I closed my eyes as a tear of happiness made its way past my cheeks, to my neck. My tears were both of joy and sorrow.The joy that he was okay, sorrow, because I am the reason he is going through all this. It's all because of me. He knew it can be a trap but still he came. For me. He promises he would find me
Before Xander can answer my question, the door to my room burst open and my mom rushed to my bed, engulfing me in a warm hug. "My baby." Tears after tears stormed down her face, as she cups my face and peppered kisses on my forehead, cheek, and wherever she could. "Mom!! I am not a kid. " though, I feel guilty that, I got everyone so worried, but at the same time I know that it wasn't my fault. "Don't mom me." snapping," sorry baby." she again started crying and kissed my forehead. "here you are hurt and I am scolding you," she said sadly. And I smiled. My mom is the most loving person in the world. Her kids are her lifeline. She loves us so much that I feel like I am the luckiest human to have a mother like her. "Mom I am fine. " I said looking at her and giving her the best smile. But immediately rolled my eyes when she again kisses me and hugged me tightly. "Mrs. Brook, you will hurt." My mom's eyes snapped to Xander as if she just noticed his presence. "I will never. " she
Iria woke up gasping for air. The same dreams, a dream of her being on a bed crashing as Josh rips out her clothes, she screams and like the last past five days, she woke up sweating. The same routine, the only difference today was that like every other day, today her Xander wasn't here to engulf her in his arms and help her fight her nightmares. She looked around the room, and there was no sign of him. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. In the last five days, he never left her side even for once. Confused Iris stood from the bed. Iris is not an afternoon sleeper but since she is still healing and for that, she needs to have medicine, she seems to fall asleep a lot. Moving she goes to the bathroom to empty her bladder and splashes some water on her face. She looks at herself in the mirror and inspects her face and hand, to find bruises have faded away. Taking a deep breath she raises Xander's shirt that she is wearing and looks at the gash of the stab. And finds that it's
Iris kept looking toward Ava, she was waiting for her sister to say something, anything but her sister was lost in her world. Iris looked around herself. Not knowing what is she supposed to do. Iris was both surprised and nervous seeing Ava. After days of not seeing her, she lost the hope of her expecting her sister to visit her. A part of her felt saddened that she was almost killed and yet her Ava didn't care enough to visit her while the other part was more understanding. Iris knows that Ava has her reasons and some valid reasons. Josh or no Josh, Iris did betray Ava and hence she is nervous. It's not that Iris doesn't know of Ava's involvement in her kidnapping. She was very harshly slapped the truth when she raised her concern about Ava not visiting Xander. She still can't forget how fast Xander's expression changed that day. One minute he was soft holding her hands, running his fingers through her hair, and every second he was clenching his jaw, his eyes filled with fury.
