As soon as Xander slammed, I felt the pain everyone talked about, the pain Blair defined as the pain before the ultimate pleasure. I remember I would always ask her why people are so eager to do something that's gonna give them pain and she would just shake her head at my idiocy and would answer me with a phrase. No pain, no gain. And I wish the pain is worth, the ultimate pleasure she talked about. My nails were clawed at Xander's back, to ease the pain I am feeling. The pain feels too great. I am feeling my pissy being torn apart. , I want to but can't stop my tears from flowing. I feel filled but at the same time want to feel nothing. I opened my squeezed eyes to find Xander staring back at me with emotions that were etched with worry and desire. He can feel my pain. As Xander stills, he started kissing every drop of my tears, whispering sweet nothings in my ear, making me breathe to ease the pain. I don't know if feel pain as well. But looking at Xander, I feel like they d
Alexander's POVLook at me, looking at her as if I have never seen a woman in my life, sprawled on my bed. But she is not any woman. My subconscious reminded me. Of course, she is not! !!She is my Angel, my Iris, my Woman. The woman, who once I thought controlled the actions of my body, but oh so wrong I was.The beautiful woman spooned in my arms, breathing on my chest, not only owning my body but my heart. Before yesterday, I thought, I wanted Iris, as I had never wanted anything in my life. She was a want. But yesterday when she uttered those three beautiful words, after we made love, yes love, I realized what I feel for is not just merely a want .....I love this woman, I love her so much, I need her in every second of my life like I need oxygen to breathe. Bringing her closer, I pressed a kiss on her forehead, stroking her beautiful hair gently. The moment those words left her mouth, first I froze, eyes opened wide, but slowly when the words registered, my heart swelled wi
The last two days were the happiest days of my life. After our special night, I and Xander seem to be closer than we ever were. The constant blush on my cheeks and the flutters in my stomach are beautiful reminders of that night. After the day we spent at Xander's condo, we came back home the next day. Coming back, Xander was graced with no questions about his disappearance, I mean who would ask him? The only person who can question his absence is in London.But with me the case was different. My mom won't leave my back, asking about my whereabouts, even though I told her that I was with Blair. She won't just believe.She is convinced that I am seeing someone, especially after our mother-daughter chat. And what's worst is, that she is convinced that the person I am seeing is none other than Jacob.Little does she know how far from the truth she is. And that hurts me. My mom is the only person who has always been proud of me for choosing my path. She always had my back. She may n
Iris's POV Working with Xander has both its pros and cons. When he is not trying to kiss me and be my Xander, then he is a very good mentor. When his work mode is on, he takes no bullshit. Ooos a bad word. Anyway. One thing that I love most about Xander is his work ethic. I worked only for a couple of days with him but those days are enough to tell me why he is one of the most successful businesses. When he is working he is a maniac. He forgets everything even me. For example yesterday, I made a mistake, I mailed the wrong copy of the contract to an investor. And I didn't even notice it. But Xander did and he treated me the same way he would treat any other employee , he scolded me for my stupid mistake and told me to double check any contract before mailing . In just a couple of days, he taught me a lot about ins and outs of the business. Only if it was something I loved. Business is not for me. I liked what I did in, the last few days. But that's it. It is not my dream and
"Sir we are about to land." Xander's train of thoughts was broken by the voice of piolet. Nodding towards the pilot, Xander looked outside the window of his jet, he was happy he is back in New York sooner than he thought. Though his mind is not in the right space he appreciates that his trip was cut short and he can soon meet his Iris. All his ride Alexander was lost, in thinking, about why would Ava lie to everyone about going to London. When she never reached London. He can very well remember the confusion and shock he went through when he reached his office in London to meet Ava, only to be informed that she never came. A million thoughts of, why would Ava lie was making his head spin. He thought maybe she wanted to avoid, guiding Iris in business, as it's clear she doesn't like her for some hidden reason.But he is still unsure if it's the only reason. As he feels there is more to it. Because Ava is not some woman people can force to make her to do whatever they want to, not eve
Unknown's POV I looked at my princess as she sleeps peacefully in my bed, she is so delicate, so beautiful and so pure. No, she is not pure anymore. That fucking Russo tainted my princess. And he will pay the fucking price of it. What I have planned for him will give him so much pain, he wouldn't have ever imagined. And his pain will be my relief mantra. His sufferings will give peace to my burning heart. And while he will burn, I will wash out all the impureness of my princess. I will make her mine and no one will be able to stop me from doing that this time. I saw the door of my hideout house open. And just like a snap, I left my princess to rest while I execute my plans to punish Alexander Russo. Walking out of Iris's room, I locked her door and threw the keys in my pocket. Standing in front of me was none other than my trump card in this game. If not for her, Iris would never have been here. She played everyone so well that Iris easily fell into my trap. And the wicked
Flashback ---------------------------------"Who?""I asked who Jacob .""You won't believe." and this time when he said the name his voice was clogged, his expression pained."She was with Josh. " Though I wanted to soothe him, the shock I was in, hearing the name of the person that I never thought would do something like this, ceased all my senses.Especially i felt for Jacob. Because of the way he looks at my sister only a fool will not see the love he has for my sister. He looks at her the same way Xander looks at me. Like she is his queen. I wanted to say something but then a message from Blair took my attention. Iris's POV Seeing Josh did scare me, but, I wasn't surprised. Because after I meet with Jacob, any of this is expected.But what I still don't know is, why will he kidnap me, what will he get by doing so I know Josh for a very long, Ava, Nathan, Josh, and Jacob were all from the same group. They were popular and best of friends. I didn't know much about them un
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
