Iris POV:
I sighed and calmed myself. My feet were tapping nervously.
Are you sure, you're okay," Quinn asked, worryingly.
I nodded and looked at the time. It was 5: 30 in the morning.
I was waiting anxiously at the subway station in New York for Aiden.
I stood up and walked back and forth.
Suddenly Caleb pulled me towards him and hugged me tightly.
My eyes were wide.
It's okay, Iris calm down," he said, stroking my hair.
I cleared my throat and backed away from him, quickly.
I nodded and I saw…
FREAKING MOTHER HELL.
Aiden was staring at us, emotionlessly.
Suddenly he smiled, widely.
He came and picked me up, hugging me tightly.
I missed you," He whispered.
Really," I asked, curiously.
Of course, can't I miss my sister," he said and grabbed my bag.
Hey," Quinn said, enthusiastically.
Aiden greeted Quinn and Caleb.
We left the station and Caleb went back to Newark.
Caleb insisted on dropping us here.
Trust me it's so hard for me to say NO. Even if I did, they came don't leave.
I am an idiot.
We sat inside the car and Aiden sat in the driver seat.
Trust me, everyone is waiting for you at home," Aiden said.
I gave him a tight smile and nod.
Freaking hell, you didn't tell me they are rich," Quinn whispered, suspiciously.
Quinn, I didn't tell you so many things," I said.
You know Hudson was so desperate to see you," Aiden said, chuckling.
Quinn and Aiden were talking constantly.
Gosh, how can people talk this much when they just met?
Then he told me about the guys and how they all are.
But in reality, I was freaking inside.
After 15 minutes we came to a big mansion.
Classy and elegant mansion.
I stepped out and Quinn squealed in happiness.
When I looked around I saw Ares standing there, emotionlessly.
If Ares is here then Ace..
Iris," Aiden said and dragged me inside the mansion.
When I looked at the time it was 6 in the morning.
I gulped when I saw the guys sitting in the hall, carefree.
I smiled at Hudson and greeted everyone.
They also hugged me tightly when they saw except Susan. She just greeted me warmly.
Where's Felix," I asked, looking around.
They are in the gym," Alex said, putting his hand on my shoulder.
I nod my head. What did he mean by they...
Where is Ace," I asked, very carefully.
He must be in his room," Leo said, sipping his coffee.
Who's Ace," Qinn asked, happily.
Ace their friend," I said, calming myself.
I am dead. He's here.
He doesn't love me. He despises me.
Why don't you go and freshen up," Susan said.
I grabbed my bag and ran away.
Woah, wait you don't know which room," Aiden said, grabbing my wrist.
Yeah, why are you running like a mouse who was caught stealing a cheese," Quinn said.
When I entered the room, I shut the door and drank the water which was on the table.
I felt tears blurring my vision.
I rubbed my eyes again and again.
He's here. I tried to breathe properly.
I sat down and calmed myself.
It's okay, it's okay, Iris.
After some long minutes, I heard a knock on my door.
I quickly wiped my tears and cleared my throat.
When I opened the door…
I yelped when Felix picked me up and swirled me.
Miss me," He asked, putting me down.
I shrugged and smiled at him and bit my lips.
He hugged me, again tightly.
I pat his shoulder, comfortingly.
Did you meet Ace," he asked, curiously.
I sucked in a breath.
I felt my hand shaking lightly.
No," I said.
Oh," he said, perplexed.
Well, freshen up, breakfast must be ready by now," he said and left.
Quinn whistled at me.
Who was the hottie," she asked looking back.
Felix," I said.
Quinn, you said," I argued.
Okay, okay. But can you tell me why everyone is carrying guns and having bodyguards," she asked, confused.
They all are businessmen that's why," I said but half truth.
She frowned.
Your stupid, if I have friends like them I would live here every single fucking day," she said and went inside her room.
Ugh… just kill me.
Ace POV:
Fucking hell. What the fuck is going on in this house. I could hear people's chatter, yells, and laughs.
I sat up and went inside the washroom. I brushed my teeth and showered.
I just wore black pants and went outside.
But I saw a fucking tomboy girl sitting in the living room.
So, you all live together even if you all have separate houses," the girl asked.
Yeah, before we had these luxuries we all lived under one roof so you know old habits don't die that easily," Leo said.
I sat down on the couch and drank the water. I was thirsty as fuck.
Oh my god, you look like a pornstar," the girl said, stunned.
I raised my eyebrows at her.
Everyone laughed their ass out.
Ace, it's Ace our leader," Hudson said, laughing hard.
Oh. Sorry and nice to meet you. I am Quinn," she said, giggling.
I stood up and went toward the kitchen.
But what I saw made my heart beat fast.
I saw the alluring eyes, the enchanting smile, the silky hair braided and resting behind her back.
It was my Mini. My beautiful Mini was standing in front of me.
In the house right now she's here.
I sighed and closed my eyes and opened it again.
I don't want it to be a dream, please.
I gulped and started to walk forward.
She was talking to Susan, smiling sweetly.
Gosh, put on a shirt today, we have guests," Susan yelled.
I saw her getting numb and gulping.
She knows. She knows it's me.
I grabbed my tea and turned my back towards them.
I will inform everyone, set the table," Susan said and left.
Leaving us alone. Just us.
I could hear her walking here and there. Then the kitchen fell silent.
I exhaled and inhaled deeply.
I felt my chest tightened and numb.
What is she doing here?
Ace, food's ready," Aiden yelled.
When I went to the dining hall. Felix threw a shirt on my face and I Wore it.
I sat beside Felix and My mini sat beside the tomboy girl.
Ace, it's Quinn, Iris' friend," Aiden said.
I hummed.
Iris didn't even look in my direction.
Iris never said she has this many friends because at Newark she talks to everyone like she's going to eat their liver," Quinn said, frowning.
Everyone chuckled.
Yes, I am serious, not even with me, his ex-boyfriend, and Caleb," she said.
Ex fucking boyfriend.
Quinn," Iris said, glaring at her.
I mean yeah yeah," Quinn said, rolling her eyes.
She has an ex-boyfriend," Felix asked, stunned.
Well, that's a different story," Quinn paused.
Jeremy proposed to her and she couldn't say NO because he proposed to her in front of everyone and she didn't want to embarrass him or hurt his heart. So she said yes. I mean she's dumb," Quinn said, stuffing her mouth with food.
Most importantly," Quinn stopped and glared at Iris.
What happened next," Susan asked, curiously.
I want to go and kill Jeremy. Fucking dick.
Who's Caleb," I asked, coldly.
No one," Iris said.
Now, she's talking.
Her secret stalker," Quinn said, jokingly.
Iris palmed her head, frustratingly.
My blood was boiling inside.
I heard she had a boyfriend who left her because he thinks she's ugly is it true," Quinn asked, curiously.
Everyone glanced at me, troubled.
Where's Liam," suddenly Iris asked.
He's out of town," Alex said.
She looked shocked.
We are leaving in the afternoon," she said.
What! Liam said you're going to stay here for the whole day," Hudson exclaimed.
What the fuck Liam didn't tell me this.
Of course, I mean come on, the restaurant is closed because of a disaster, so why not," Quinn said.
She has 2 days off," Quinn said, enthusiastically.
And also," Quinn stopped and looked at my pendant, frowning.
She looked at Iris.
Your pendant," Quinn asked.
It's familiar," she said.
Quinn," Iris said aloud.
Suddenly the tomboy and Iris stayed silent.
After breakfast, I noticed Quinn and my friends talking so fucking much.
Where in the hell did Iris find a friend like Quinn?
I walked inside Iris' room where she was staying.
I don't know what I was going to say but I want to know about the boy Caleb.
I lay in her bed and took out my phone.
The lights were off and only morning brightness was present in the room.
Suddenly the door opened slightly but nobody came inside.
Please, can I hit on Ace, he's so sexy," the tomboy said.
No," Iris said, sternly.
Come one," the tomboy said, huffing.
You're a Mary virgin but not me, I can't live like that," the tomboy said, whining.
Suddenly I heard the door shutting sound.
I saw Mini coming inside and let out a scream when she saw me, startled.
What do you want," she asked, her head hung low.
Who's Caleb," I asked, candidly.
She stayed silent and started to walk towards the closet.
I stood up and grabbed her waist.
I am not gonna ask you again," I said, sternly.
She was pushing me.
I tightened my grip on her waist and pulled her closer to me.
Leave me," her voice cracked.
Why do you care," she whispered, her head hung low.
I care, that's why I am asking," I said.
Suddenly she pushed me away and tried to run inside the bathroom. Tried.
I forcefully opened the door and locked it behind me. Fucking brat.
Go away," she said out loud.
I put her on the bathroom slab and put my hand beside her, trapping her ass.
But boy it was not easy.
She was constantly wiggling out of my grip.
When I finally steadied her after 1 minute.
She was crying, sobbing.
I sighed and palmed her face.
Mini, look at me," I said, gently wiping her cheeks.
Don't call me that," she said, weakly.
Do you still love me," I asked, desperately.
I do. I love the man who I LOVED, not the man who used me for his selfishness," she spit out.
I am just a bed warmer for him," she said looking into my eyes.
I gulped and looked away, ashamed.
I stroked her hand and kissed it.
I am sorry," I said, truthfully.
She looked shocked.
For what," she said.
For everything, for every single thing I did to hurt you again and again," I said looking into her eyes.
She looked away and bit her lips.
If I was in her place I would never forgive me.
I left her hand and hugged her tightly.
I am sorry," I whispered and hid my face in her neck.
It felt good to hug her. She felt good.
Why are you doing this to me," she whispered and cried.
After 1 minute of hugging I backed away just a little.
She was trying hard to cage her tears but it was helplessly flowing down her eyes.
I wiped it again.
I missed you," I whispered.
Our faces were close to each other.
Her harsh breath was brushing against my skin.
WHY! Why are you being nice," she yelled.
Are you not happy that I am sad? Do you want to break me again," she whispered.
I didn't mean it, I had no choice," I said, unconsciously.
She tried to push me away.
Mini, listen to me please," I said, desperately.
NO, DON'T CALL ME THAT," she screamed in agony.
LEAVE! LEAVE ME ALONE," she was thrashing her hands.
I backed away from her, regretfully.
She covered her face with her hands, muffling her cries.
After some minutes she said something that felt like stabbing a knife deep into my heart.
I came here to meet my friends and I will leave. I will not disturb you," she said looking at me hatefully.
I felt myself getting angry.
Why? The fact that she said those words looking at me like that or she's here with me right now but she hates with all her heart.
I left the room, furiously.
I shut my door angrily. I screamed loudly.
I broke everything in the room.
My breathing was hard. Tears blurred my vision.
"Do you want to break me again"
Her words rang in my ear.
The way she looked at me disgusted, raged, furious, hurtfully.
I hate it. I felt disgust for myself.
I sat on my bed and wiped my tears.
I stood up and went inside the basement.
Blood. I want to see blood.
I Unlocked the cell and released Ivan.
He was healthy.
I dragged his body in the middle of the cell and took out my pocket knife.
I gripped his face. He was screaming like a fucking schoolgirl.
Ivan looked at me, scared.
Iris is here, but she hates me," I said, stroking his cheek with the tip of my knife.
The way she looked at me, I don't.. love it. I want her to see me like the old days," I said.
You know when she looked at me like that I wanted to," I paused.
*Gore*
I stabbed right in his eyes.
He screamed his lungs out.
I pulled the knife out.
His right eyeballs were hanging outside his eyes and every time he blinked a cascade of blood was coming out of his eyes.
Look it's painful right, that's what I wanted to do with her," I said, ripping his eyeball out of his eyes.
I threw it away, frustratingly.
I plugged my thumb inside his empty eyes.
He screamed and thrashed around.
I want to stab her again and again till her breath slows down and her body will look bland and colorless," I said, sighing.
But I can't, I love her. I love her so fucking much that I don't want to hurt her," I exclaimed.
Ivan, I am fucking talking so stop fucking SCREAMING," I said to him.
He stopped but whimpered, holding his eyes.
I love her Ivan, I want to make it right but how," I said, standing up.
Fucking hell, if Liam said that he invited her here I would have prepared something," I said, frowning.
You know In these past months a boy proposed to her and a fucking Caleb is her god knows what," I paused.
You know what Ivan, I will make her love me again. I can't handle it anymore," I said, laughing.
I will do every single thing to win her because she's worth it. I will even kill my friends if she wants," I said, laughing.
Our world are different but I don't care now," I paused.
She's mine and this time I will make her mine, completely…
