Chereads / Iris His obsession. / Chapter 25 - Chapter Twenty Five

Chapter 25 - Chapter Twenty Five

As I look at myself in the mirror, I feel so ashamed because I am allowing Wallace to carry me around like some idiot. Why? Why did he want to sign divorce papers? Who was I divorcing? And what was weird was that my supposed partner, had not signed. Meaning he probably didn't even know he was supposed to sign the papers. Just as I was lost in thought, my phone rang. It was my assistant , Charlie, calls me from the hospital.

From the background noises, I can hear the fracas in the hospital. People were rushing everywhere and I could hear distinct whispers

"Hey, Iris. We need you here. Remember that man that you left untreated?" he asks.

"Yes. His dad is literally scarier than Valik the demon." I say to him.

"Well, his son is getting worse by the day and only you can save him. His father says that if he dies, he will kill us and all our families." he says, and the fear in his voice is clearly detectable.

"Did you speak to Ace about it?" I ask.

"Yes, but he said that he didn't want to risk you and he didn't give two shits if we died in the next five minutes as long as you are safe.

"That was so selfish of him." I whisper.

"Well, if we are to save Raul, we have only about ten minutes." he adds.

"Well, that is enough. I will be there. But as of now, make sure he has enough oxygen supply, and that his drip has been installed." I say as I think of a plan to escape the house. Ace walks inside and I could tell he was tired.

He sits on the bed and I slowly massage him.

"Oh, princess, you never seem to let me down. How did you know that this was what I craved for?" he says, deeply relaxed.

"Well, you seemed pretty tired Ace. And I love you, so I decided to be the only thing that keeps you relaxed. Any news about the hospital?" I ask and his face completely goes pale. So Charlie wasn't lying. Let's see how much more he can lie to me.

"Nothing unusual really." he says without a quiver.

Bloody liar.

He starts to get sleepy and he yawns.

"Well, princess, I am getting sleepy." he says.

"It's okay. Just sleep, I will go to freshen up, take water then sleep.

"Oh and put on your purple nightdress will you?" he asks ever so kindly.

"Okay love." I say and we kiss. As usual, is would feel love behind it, but I also felt the taste of deceit and betrayal in the kiss. What was ad was that even though I know he is lying to me, I still feel like he has good reason. His kiss makes me completely drop my guard. I changed into my purple nightdress and head downstairs after a quick shower. As I landed I am met with Charlie..

"We need to go, and NOW." he said.

"But I'm in a nightdress." I say.

"But it's okay. Right now, Only the patient matters." Charlie says and I agree. We got into the car and drove off. I could feel the tension in the car. He was scared and so was I. As soon as we got to the hospital, I was met with a million doctors trying to get an idea. I quickly put on my mask, lab coat and gloves and enter into the room. They were about to declare him dead, but I took on the cardiac defibrillator.

"Clear?" I ask.

"Clear." the nurse responds.

Immediately I defibrillate him, his chest raises high, but the heart monitor does not record a heartbeat. We try again and again but he still doesn't get a heartbeat.

"Come on, COME ON!" I say, desperately. What scares me, is that I am afraid of his death. Not because of the employees, but because of me. I feel like I know him since forever and that if I loose him I will be shattered. So I defibrillate him again but it fails. Then I suddenly snap.

"Come on Raul for heavens bloody sake, wake up already you can't die now!" I yell and defibrillate him harder, causing his chest to raise again, but this time, the heart monitor records a heartbeat. I take a huge sigh and instinctively, I hug him tightly. Everyone in the room is shocked and so am I, so I draw away, but he holds on to my hand and flickers his eyes.

"Iris, principessa, is that you?" he asks and suddenly, I feel my heart cry out for him. I smile as tears rolled down my cheek.l However I pull away and he slips back into unconsciousness. On the way out I am met by his dad, Stefano, threatening other doctors and I go up to him.

"If he would have died, you would have followed suite..." he hissed. with my glasses off and my mask on, I interrupted him.

"Now listen here Mr Stefano Accardi or whatever the hell you call yourself. The world doesn't revolve around you, okay. You can't just walk into this hospital and talk to employees the way you feel like because you are Alpha of the most feared Mafia syndicate. We are doctors, and we don't work well under pressure. Besides, our work is to save people

so stop acting like we are incompetent. We know our work, so give us time to do it." I tell him, with a certain anger and authority. I expected him to lash out at me, but he just looked at me in awe. As if he was looking for something.

"What is your name beautiful?" he asks in awe, as if he was waiting for a specific answer.

"Iris. Doctor Iris for you." I say, and he asks kindly,to my shock.

"Can you please remove your mask Iris?" he asks smiling.

Just when I was about to, Charlie rushed in.

"Doctor, your husband is furious looking for you." he says gasping.

Without warning, I rushed out, leaving Stefano there in shock. When I arrived at the parking lot, I saw Ace there, and I swear, in all of my life I have never seen him so pissed at me.

"Get in the fucking car." he hisses.

Without a second thought I got in the car. The drive was silent and the tension was so thick, it could be cut with a knife.

Immediately we got home, Ace grabbed my hand and dragged me to the room.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Do you want to kill me Iris? Do you know what type of danger awaited you there and how I had gone through a lot to keep you safe, but now you want to disobey my first ever request? What the fuck were you..." he lashes out and a strong fear enveloped me as I realized that he had a knife on his waist and he was hurting me. He was hurting me so bad. I just looked at him with fear in my eyes,he saw it and smirked.

"I can never let you go Iris. You are mine and nothing can separate us." he says smiling and caressing my cheek.

"Then why did you want me to sign divorce papers?" I ask, but he just shushes me, as he kisses me with a strong possession, claiming every part of my body with his hands and mouth.

"Mine, mine and only mine. You have to understand, Iris, All I do is because I love you and I can't lose you, even to death." he says smiling psychotically and it freaked me out to the core. " Now listen princess, you are not going anywhere, because I will look after you with outmost care, because I love you. I love you so fucking much, I will kill for you without a second thought. Even death will not separate us." he says to me as he kisses me so passionately. I love him, but now I'm scared of him too.

"You are my wife Iris, and only one person can dominate here " he says, as he trembles.

"Yes, my husband. I will submit to your will." I say, as he dominantly claims my whole body with his mouth. With that, he kisses me hard.

"Are you ready now?" he asks, touching my womanhood.

"Will it calm you down?" I ask.

"More than you think." he says in a hoarse voice, and he sounds like he was sleepy. His eyes were dark. Well, it was time then. I have to calm him down no matter what.
