"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

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

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

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

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
