Iris pov

I did not know when my life became this complicated. One moment, I was planning a wedding with the man I thought I loved.

The next, I was standing in my kitchen that suddenly felt too small, watching that same man unpack his clothes like nothing had changed.

Mike dropped his bag on the couch and stretched like he had just come home from a long trip.

“Finally.” He said. “It feels good to be here.”

I forced a smile. “Yeah.”

I felt nothing on the inside as I stared at him and that scared

  • One Night, Now He Wants Me.   Chapter 84

    Finale.I did it all.Fucked Mike and Lena up on the wedding day, left LA for Italy with Vince and my mom after getting all the money in the joint account, I had persuaded Mike to open.Within a year, I had my father's empire rebuilt and handled whatever distraction that came up. By distraction, I meant enemies. Including the woman, who claimed to have loved Vince once.Yes! I could kill without batting an eye now. It made Vince question my humanity at some point. But, I reassured him I was still in touch with humanity.“Hey babe,” Vince called me one sunny morning.“What's good?”“Get dressed, we're going to Columbia,” he informed me.My eyes left the papers I was reading and moved straight to his face. “What's wrong? Something going on with your men? Do you need me to handle it?”“They'll shit in their pants, if they hear you're the one coming over.” He sat back on a chair. “I hate to admit it but, you seem to scare them more than I do these days.”I couldn't contain the smile that

    Iris pov. “Do you know him, mom?” I asked confused. She wanted to reply, but placed her hand on her lips to stop any sound from coming out. Her eyes were still on Vince which was leaving me more confused, so I faced Vince. “Have you met my mother before ?” “No, this is my first time.” He replied immediately. “What's wrong with you mom? Is everything okay?” I asked her. Vince came closer to me and patted my hands. “I think you mom has a lot to tell you, I'll be right by the door. Call me if you need me.” “You should tell her everything, there's no point in hiding it or would you like me to?” He asked my mom, then left before she could even say a word. I tried to calm myself to fully understand what was going on here, but the tension was killing me from the inside. I could even feel my headache becoming worse. “Mom, how do you know him?” I asked again. “I don't think I have ever introduced you two.” “Baby.” She managed to say between sobs. “There's something I have to tell you.

    Iris pov.When I opened my eyes first, everywhere looked strange. As I tried to understand my surroundings, I saw him. “Vince.” The word came out of my mouth, before I could think of anything.His eyes were bloodshot and he looked like he had not slept at all. So, when that phone call kept coming in, I asked him to take it.My mind tried to process what I had just gone through, I looked at the IV lines I was connected to and instinctively touched my head.“Phew! It's a good thing they cut from down here, if it had been any higher I'll have to do a messy bun on that miserable wedding day.” I whispered to myself.Even if I was not doing this with all of my heart, I still cared about appearances.Vince got off the call and stared at me, like he did something wrong.“Why do you look grim?” I asked. “Who was on the phone?”“Your mom.”“What?” I had completely forgotten about her, to think that she called now of all times. A mother's instinct for sure was always right. “Can you call her b

    Vince's pov.I’d paid them half a million, wired before the scalpel even touched her skin to buy this wing of the hospital for the night. This was different from her surgery bill, but I did not care at this point.“How did things go with the men who got her?” I asked Phil, when he came to check on me.“We have one with us, with time he'll spill and let us in.”“Don't go easy on him.” I looked at Phil with bloodshot eyes. “They're the reason she has to fight for her life in there.”“Alright boss.”He stepped out and brought me coffee, then left to handle things after some time. I paced until my legs burned, then sank into the chair again with my head in my hands.My Iris was going under those knives because of me. The guilt filled my chest, causing me pain I had never felt before. Right now, I was just a man terrified of losing the only light in his darkness.My phone buzzed with updates from the streets, about what had just gone down but I silenced it. Nothing mattered except the woma

    Vinces pov.“Boss, we found her.” Phil informed me, making my eyes to open.“Let's head out!” I thundered as I stood Phil looked at me for a second. “We can handle the rescue operation ourselves, you don't have to get involved. What if something goes wron—”I did not allow him to finish the words, before cutting him off. “She's already in danger and you expect me to choose safety?”“I'm sorry boss.”“Get everything ready, we're going together.”This time he did not try to argue. “Yes boss.”Within minutes, he had prepared my men and gathered all we needed as we headed out towards the location they had tracked.When the car came to a stop, I looked around and observed that it was some good distance away from where people lived.“Do you think gunshots will travel very far from here?” I asked Phil.“It's hard to tell, but I find that very unlikely.” Came the response.“Let's move in.” I signalled to my men as I took the lead.My boots hit the concrete like thunder as I kicked in the sid

    Iris pov.One thought crossed my mind after overhearing them. Vince was definitely looking for me.“At least, I know I'm safe now.”That made me feel some form of relief, as I closed my eyes and drifted away to sleep land with a smile.There was nothing peaceful about the way I slept, since I was tied up and could barely move around. But being in situations like this, gave you little to no choice on comfort.I was somewhere in that strange, heavy corridor between consciousness and sleep when the door slammed open so forcefully that it hit the concrete wall behind it.I opened my eyes and looked around, the air felt like it was another morning since it was hard to know what time it was.There were three men this time, the first two who had come before and a third I hadn't seen before. He was younger with the particular brand of restless energy that made him immediately the most dangerous person in the room. “Good morning.” I greeted them, before I could think.I mean, there is no one

    Vince's pov.I woke up feeling tense, it was already a normal feeling for me at this point in time.“Phil, come to my room.” I said into my phone, as soon as he picked up the call.“Yes boss.” Came the sharp response.Within a few minutes, Phil was standing right in front of me. He was dressed alre

    Iris pov.“What do you mean by that question, baby?” My mother asked, looking all hurt and tired. “Your father was a major stakeholder in different companies, his income sources were broad.”“Then why do you make it seem like he's some sort of mysterious man?”“How is he mysterious?”“I have never

    Iris pov.“Mom, come off it. It's nothing serious.”“Some man drops you off and you want me to overlook that?” She asks with a puzzled look on her face. “Iris, you are getting married soon.”“Not this wedding talk again, mom. Please.” I begged her as I stormed off to the kitchen to get some water.

    Iris pov.I saw the mischief playing in his eyes and decided to play along, by giving him the exact reaction she wanted.My eyes showed fear, when he mentioned we had company. His reaction to that was completely priceless.The glint in my eyes returned, because I watched his face look confused afte
