Getting to the kitchen both mother and child met the chef busy in the kitchen, the middle-aged woman abandoned what she was doing and walked toward Iris and Ryan and said: "Good day ma'am what can I help you with?"
"I and this cutie pie need some fruits and chocolate to snack on," she said with a smile.
"Okay ma'am, where are you having it, let me know so that we can serve it to you" said the chef.
"We will be having it in the living room, dining thanks," she says then she left with Ryan.
On getting to the living room she called and gave instructions to one of the maids to go and bring Ryan's toys and also to go inside her room and bring her the book she placed on the table beside the bed.
A few minutes later, all she requested were made available and she and Ryan were both having quality time and having so much fun.
...
Ever since the day she and Ryan spent quality time together over some snacks, it seems he has stopped being wary of her and become closer to her, so close to her that everywhere she was you could see Ryan glued to her how or leg.
He became so attached and dependent on her that he decided not to leave her alone and even slept in her room since that day and made her room his permanent room because he refused to go back to his room.
Iris saw no problem with that she likes it. She wants Ryan to sleep beside her than Adrian, not because she doesn't want or like Adrian but be she does not Adrian to discover she behaves differently from her twin's sister and investigate her.
A few days later was her sister, Ivy's funeral, she had been so sad and her feelings had been on a rollercoaster ride and finally, today was the day and also the day she saw Adrian.
Since the last time they saw each other, she had not seen traces of him at home and she knows he always arrives home but he stays and sleeps in another room.
And he had instructed the Butler to pack his belongings in the room now he stays there whenever he comes home and she and Ryan had the master bedroom to themselves that she was happy with.
After the funeral service she stood in front of her sister's fresh grave there she saw the words and her real name carved on the headstone that reads "Here lies Iris Wilson a sister and a fighter " she burst into fresh tears as s she saw that her sister was never going to wake up and come back.
She knelt not caring that her beautiful black designer dress will get dirty she place her hands on the grave and cried bitterly knowing she is all alone by herself in the world, with no sister to call and talk to.
Even though her sister was someone selfish, unreliable and greedy at least she was still alive to talk to bit now that she was gone leaving her all alone, she left also leaving her new family alone, the family that should have been hers but she doesn't care anymore Ivy should come back and have her family.
She doesn't want the family, she can not bear the pain of losing her only family, and all she wants is her only family back.
She cried and screamed for her sister to come back. After crying for some time, she was the only one at the graveyard she stops crying and accepted that her sister was not coming back, knowing Ivy left her with her mess to clean up she was not surprised because that was all she does since they were small.
She stares at the grave and said "Ivy now that you decided to leave me alone, not only me and your husband and son, just know I have not forgiven you for what you did and what you are doing by snatching my identity from me. Even in your grave you still find a way to torment me, but don't you worry I will be getting my identity back that I promise and I will let Adrian know what you did. Unlike you o am not a liar and you know"
And With that, she stood up turns her back to the grave, and left, on getting to the place the car was packed she was shocked to discover that the driver was gone instead it was Adrian that was waiting for her leaning beside the car.
On getting closer to him he asked in concern "Are you okay now? Once again I'm sorry about your sister he stood up straight and stretched out his hands I'm a hugging gesture but dropped them. Iris seeing his action rushed to his embrace and hugged him tightly finding comfort in his warm embrace and weeping.
Seeing her crying Adrian returns the hug hesitantly and patted her back all the while comforting her. A few minutes later they disengaged from the hug and she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and asked "Where is Ryan?" trying not to talk about what just happened between them.
Getting that she did not want to talk about the hug he answered " He already went home with his nanny"
"Oh, okay thanks for waiting for me but you could have left the driver and gone I know you are a busy man I'm sorry for wasting your time. And I'm grateful for the concern" she said with a wary smile, then she went to the passenger side of the car and got inside where she wait for Adrian to get inside to drive them home.
Adrian stood outside the car and thought about the way Iris had been screaming and crying for her sister to come back and pitied her, he knew they only had each other since they were young and decided to let her grieve for a while with that he opens the car door and enter to drive to the journey home .
