Iris POV:
Ace sir was staring at me angrily while smoking. God, please save me tonight. He started to walk toward me when he was standing in front of me.
I closed my eyes ready to get slapped but when I peeked in one of my eyes he was just staring at me then I opened both of my eyes.
He bent down a little and blew smoke in front of my face and I started to cough hard.
He was smiling. Evil man.
What took you so long", Ace asked and yes from now on NO respect for him. Work," I said. Suddenly he removed my hood and grabbed my jaw hard.
You think I am stupid Iris", he said his face was close to mine that he could see my eyes and I was afraid that he would see my cheeks. I turned my head to the other side so he would see my left cheek.
I got busy with my friend", I said. He was gripping my jaw hard. It was hurting and I started to cry because he was somehow putting pressure on my right cheek.
Suddenly he left me and I backed away from him immediately.
Stand here for 1 hour", he said and left from there. It's not a new punishment for me. Helen always makes me stand outside of the house when I forget to take her medicines.
I was staring into the sky when I suddenly felt raindrops on my cheeks. Looks like God also hates me now. Suddenly a rumble of thunder was heard and then it was silent so calm then it started to rain.
I just stood there crying looking at the rain. It felt good when no one saw me crying. I let the tears slide down my cheeks. Again thunder was heard and I flinched because it was so loud.
Iris", I looked back and Ivan was standing there with an umbrella. Go inside", he said and I started to walk away and sat on the entrance stairs. I was drenched in rain.
It was not new though. I just laid on the corner stairs. I felt my eyes getting heavy and I slept.

Mama Papa", I said laughing. Mama and Papa were sitting in the sand waving at me. I was standing in the water. When I started to walk toward them they were going far away.
Mama wait for me papa", I screamed but then went away again. I ran out of the water but when I was going to touch them I couldn't. My mama, papa was in front of me.
Ma please it hurts I want to hug you papa talk to me PLEASE", I was banging in front of me whatever it was and screaming at them. No, NO ma pa wait don't go I want you PLEASE! PLEASE! I LOVE YOU, MAMA! PAPA!...

IRIS! IRIS! For fuck sake open your eyes. When I opened my eyes my head was in Ivan's lap. Suddenly I stood up and realized I was in some room and my dress was still a little wet. It looked like I slept in wet clothes.
Are you okay you were whimpering in your sleep", he asked. Where am I," I asked, confused.
My room you slept on the stairs. Are you an idiot or what?", he asked angrily.
I mean of course he will be angry he put me in his bed who will not be angry. Iris I asked you something", yeah I talk so much in my head.
Sorry", I said and ran away from there. When I came out, so many guards were staring at me as I tried to go outside. I ended up coming to the hall where people were eating on the floor, in chairs.
There are so many people I can't breathe properly, sweating, my heartbeat is rising. Calm down Iris, it's okay.
Iris, oh my god are you okay", Melinda was asking me but all I could see were people staring at me weirdly. Melinda dragged me to another room. half an hour later I calmed down. It felt good and my head was hurting a little bit.
Here take these tablets and change into these dresses", Melinda said. I was just staring at the ground. Suddenly I left a hand on my shoulder, Iris what happened, what are you doing here again", she asked worryingly.
I don't know anything I don't know", I said truly. But she stares at me in pity, that's why I don't let people near me. They pity they always do no matter what.
I brushed my teeth and left from there. Melinda was asking me to eat and change my dress but I didn't want to. I just want to go away from everything right now.
When I was working at the cafe Brent was continuously asking me if I was okay but I just nodded at him. It was already 7 in the evening and I was eating a loaf of bread with hot water. Maybe I got a fever.
Iris come let's play", one of the kids asked me in the park. Well I always come here when I get out of work early. Not today butter boy I am sick, how about you all play and I will watch", I said and he goes to play again.
I named him Butter because his excuses are like butter anyone can slip into.
I was eating peacefully until I felt someone sitting beside me so close to my liking that their shoulder was touching mine.
I started to scoot away little by little from this stranger. But suddenly I felt a hand on my waist and the next second I was sitting in the stranger's lap what the h...
Ace. It was Ace. I widened my eyes. I tried to get up but he tightened his hold on my waist. Sir, please leave if someone sees me like this they will think bad about me", I said looking at the surroundings.
But he just grabbed my face and removed my hood. Suddenly he touched my forehead, You're hot," he said, frowning. I just chuckled awkwardly at him and shook my head as NO.
I am free now, let's go to hospital", he said.
WHAT NO and let me go please", I said angrily.
Kitten let me make it right", he said and kissed my forehead. He started to rub my forehead. Suddenly he placed his head on my neck and closed his eyes. Weird.
Sir, you will get a fever too", I said worryingly. I thought you said NO", he said with his head on my neck.
I cleared my throat and looked away. He smiled and said, I am not fragile like you mini bear. I looked at him weirdly.
Don't call me that mini deer, wear whatever you said", I said irritatingly. I hate Nick names especially if someone gave me one.
He smiled. Why, I think it suits you and is cute too", I just looked away.
You don't socialize, are always ready to cuddle, and are so fucking soft", He said looking at me and smiling just a little. Didn't know a mafia leader can be goofy and how did you know I like cuddles ", I asked amused.
Hmm well, I am a little goofy but if you talk about this to anyone I will rip off your throat with my bare hands and I saw how you cuddle with your pillow", he said smiling.
I was disgusted and terrified when I imagined how he would do that to my throat ughh... eww...
Oh my god... Iris what are you doing", Butter said while holding a flower crown the daisy was so dried poor flowers. Suddenly Butter climbed onto the bench and leaned at Ace examining his face tentatively.
What the fuck are you doing", he said. Why are you holding my girl, leave her or I will shoot you", Butter said. I cleared my throat. butter why don't go to your mother and he's older than you give respect", I said.
He stared at me, I thought you love me, you're my girl, then why are you sitting with him, is he your boyfriend," God why nowadays kids have this type of knowledge?
I stood up from his lap immediately, no butter he's no one ok I want you to go to your mother please," I pleaded to him because what if Ace does something to him can't take risks after that night.
He hugged me and ran from there.
No one", Ace said, looking at me emotionlessly. I just sat a little far from him and shook my head as yes because I was tired.
Mini bear let's go", He stood up and started to drag me to. Yahhh! What are you doing", I tried to loosen his grip on my hand. He suddenly stopped and put me on his shoulders and started to walk towards the car.
Ivan opened the door and Ace put me into the seat and forcefully strapped the belt on me. When I opened the door Ace already was in the driving seat. Gosh, this man walks so fast.
I don't want to go to the hospital", I said looking at him trying to make my face scary. We're not going to the hospital," He said.
It's all your fault first you make me stand in the rain and now you're forcing me to do things that I don't want, I don't even know why I am at your house what do you even want from me I have nothing", I said quietly and started to cry silently because I am tired of everything, him, work, life everything.
After an hour we arrived at a small house. I was just sobbing by the time we arrived. Out", he said. I got out quickly.
He is angry so much right now because he was gripping the steering wheel so tight that his knuckles were turning white.
Then we started to walk. After a few seconds we were in the room with a man. Ace and he talk about something I don't understand. Then he left the stranger and I was left in the room only.
Sit down", he said kindly.
Then he started to check my temperature and my body. After 5 minutes he gave me some tablets and told me to eat more food because my glucose level is low and I just nod to everything he said.
Let's just say I never visited any doctor without my parents. Yeah, sheltered kid.
When we walked out of the room Ace was talking with Ivan. Is she okay", Ivan asked.
Yeah, give her more food her glucose level is so low it can be a danger for her body, especially at this age", he said and left from there. I started to walk away but Ace held my hand.
Ivan", he said looking at me and Ivan left from there. Wow. He grabbed my face and looked at my eyes. Kiss me", I pushed him away quickly and stared at him wide-eyed. I hope he's just joking.
He was breathing hard, maybe angry. Then he started to walk towards me and grabbed my face. He was looking into my eyes, Cosa mi stai facendo mini orsetto? (What are you doing to me mini bear?). He grabbed my hand and started to walk.
What did he say there? When we reached the mansion I ran to the room and lay on the couch and slept there. The whole night I didn't see his face.
