Author's POV Iris got up. Everything was too much for her. She didn't stop, pushing the door open as she walked outside. She locked herself in the room. Hours passed, but she didn't open the door. Mason let her be, knowing she needed time to process everything that had come from him.The door opened the next day. She walked downstairs and had her breakfast in silence. She didn't speak about yesterday. Mason sat as the children had their food. Everyone could notice the dullness written across Iris's face.Later, Iris walked into the big garden. She let her thoughts run wild. As she turned around, her gaze fell on someone that made her completely stop in her tracks.It was her mom, Grace.Her mom crossed the distance between them, and in the same step she took, Iris was pulled into a warm hug. Iris's eyes grew moist. The woman she had called her mom for years, the one who had always been there for her, was not her true mother. The thought made her tighten her grip around her."Are you

Author's POV "Where are the others, Evander?" Iris' voice cracked with sobs."They couldn't make it out," he mumbled, his gaze filling with tears.Iris cried even more as he gently took her hand into his, slowly pulling her into his arms."It was all his fault, and we are going to take revenge on him," he said, clenching his fists. Rage flooded his eyes, turning them red with anger."We will," Mason said as Iris pulled away from Evander."What do you mean by that?" she asked, wiping her tears."This is the time we take our revenge. The Stone Empire has nothing now, and all their secrets have been exposed," Mason said as he handed a glass of water to Iris, rubbing her back softly to calm her down."We can destroy them, Iru. This is all we wanted from the beginning. We will do justice for those who lost their lives because of them," Evander explained."Only if Iris wants to," Mason said, looking at Evander, silence filled the room as they waited for her reply."You take your time, Iris

Author's POV A terrifying scream tore through the room as Evander landed on the floor, groaning in pain, his hand clenched over his bleeding chest.It took Iris a long second to understand what had happened. Her mind went completely blank as she scrambled onto the floor beside Evander's body."Eva...n...der," she cried, her words cracking.Her hand reached towards him to help, but before she could touch him, Xavier's hand wrapped around her arm with an iron grip and dragged her up.Her eyes met his, making fury surge through her body. She struggled against his hold, crying."Fucking stop moving," Xavier growled, making her body flinch badly as more tears filled her eyes.The door was pushed open, and the guards rushed inside after hearing the gunshot.They all halted when their eyes landed on Xavier with Iris in his hold.Mason walked in a second later. The atmosphere thickened with tension. His jaw clenched as he saw Evander lying in a pool of his own blood."Leave her," Mason said,

Xavier's POV I dug the knife into the fresh wound, stuffing my blood-stained shirt into my mouth as I pulled the bullet out, tearing through the flesh.Beside me lay the dead shitty guard. It had been four nights since the moment I was locked up here, and still I could feel the jealousy burning through me, hot and red.It wasn't going to stop until I tore every piece of skin that had touched her from his body, ripped his flesh from his bones, and cut him into pieces.I have pulled people's eyes from their sockets just for looking at her, and he is a special case. I will give him a death he will remember for all seven of his lives.She wanted to hurt me. I still remember how she tightened her hold on him when she noticed me.That memory is still burning inside me, and trust me, it hurts more than these shitty torn wounds on my body.Fuck everything.I will be taking her with me. I wasn't going to let her live here. And before that, I want to send Mason six feet under the ground, alive

Author's POV The same sound reached Xavier's ears. He calmly opened his eyes. The bright light itched in his eyes, but he didn't close them. He scanned around him. He was in the hospital.The sound stopped the moment the woman sitting beside him noticed he had woken up."Oh my God, you are finally up," a voice reached him.He looked at her.It was Elena.Her green eyes were red and tired, as if she had cried for hours, and the dark circles under them were telling that she hadn't slept either.He tried to get up, but a sharp pain shot through his body.Elena quickly got up to help him, but her hand stopped in midair, afraid he wouldn't like it.But forcing everything aside, she gripped his arm, and he didn't push her away.It was a little shocking for her. It was the first time he wasn't denying her after years. A wave of happiness ran through her body."Carefully..." She seated him comfortably on the bed."Do you want anything... are you feeling any pain anywhere?" she asked. The con
