Third Person POV:
*Mature*
She lay on the floor in pain.
He knelt before inspecting her body.
Tapping her cheeks lightly, she squinted her eyes, whimpering.
Is it hurting so much," he kissed her wet cheeks, gently.
She sucked in a breath and cried out in pain.
Her body hurts as she inhales and exhales.
I don't like you, your skin is kind of rough. You're pretty though," he said, stroking her bloodied head.
He broke her ribcage, and some cuts and tried to stuff a rod inside her but he didn't. Not yet.
She was lying on the floor, naked.
Covered in her blood. Both hands were twisted, one ankle was turned backside, and her hair strands were ripped off her head one by one.
A long needle was inserted inside her cheeks, her red tongue lying on the floor.
Just like that her breath stopped and she died, brutally.
The site was arousing him.
I want another doll to play with.
"Soft skin, brown eyes, but fragile and cute," he murmured.
He unbuckled his pants and hovered above her.
Iris POV:
What do you mean by "he likes you"," I exaggerated.
What the hell is wrong with this girl?
Nick likes you," Ali said sitting beside me.
Yeah, I changed my seat.
Well tell him I'm not interested," I exclaimed.
You don't have to be that straight, I mean give it a try," she said, smiling.
No," I said, ending this stupid discussion.
"Give it a try". My foot.
Never in my life, I will "give it a try" to someone.
God dammit, I have a man outside this university.
Iris," Edrick called me.
He was standing in front of my table.
Yes," I asked, offering a nonchalant smile. Spoiled brat.
Are you coming tonight," he asked, pushing me inside the seat.
He sat beside me too close to my liking.
Yah! This is my seat," I whined.
He rolled his eyes.
Tell me," he asked, smiling at Ali.
Where," I asked, huffing.
To my house," he said, showing his perfect teeth.
Why," I asked, perplexed.
Hudson didn't tell you," he said, bewildered.
What," I said, my heartbeat rising slowly.
My father invited Hudson's family for dinner so I thought you would also come," he said, his fingers playing with my hair strands.
I slapped his hand, lost in my thoughts.
No, I am not coming," I said, choosing the right words.
Hudson didn't tell me this.
Please, come on, it will be fun," he said.
I got up and Ali made a space for me to get away from the awkward situation.
NO, Edrick I am not coming and please go to your seat," I said, glaring at him.
I never felt safe with him. Like there is something that keeps telling me something.
Like something is very off about him.
He left annoyed and Ali looked at me with an indescribable expression.
You're going to his house," she said, frowning.
No, my brother didn't inform me about this," I said, sitting in my seat.
She stood up and left, calling someone.
.
.
.
.
Thank you," I bowed to the driver and went inside Hudson's house.
It was 6 in the evening.
I saw Alex and Liam sitting in the living room, chattering.
Look who's here," Alex yelled.
I greeted them, offering a genuine smile.
Where is Hudson," I asked.
Here," Hudson said, emerging from the hallways.
The man who invited you for dinner, his son is studying in my class," I paused.
His son, Edrick asked me if I was coming to his house tonight?" I said, throwing my hands in the air.
You know I had a heart attack that time," I said, rubbing my forehead.
Oh! That's great you could come with me and...," I interrupted him.
WHAT! No, I can't. First I don't like him, he's a spoiled brat and My man needs me at home before 7," I said.
I have to cook food too," I clamored.
Did Ace call you," Alex said, raising his eyebrows.
I shook my head.
I already informed him about you going to dinner at someone else's house and I will be there, so he's fine with it," Hudson said, pinching my cheeks gently.
My eyes widened in shock.
Ace will not be home today, some emergencies came up," Liam said, looking at his phone.
AND thankfully you're here I was going to your house," Hudson said, excitedly.
Go and freshen up, we will leave then," he said.
Yah! You can't just make everything suddenly," I slapped his arm.
I know, I know. I am sincerely sorry but he invited my family. So, you're my sister, you have to come," he said, smiling.
Hudson, I am not your real sister. It's just…fake. I can't just go to someone's house like that," I said, frowning.
His face turned emotionless and he looked away, sighing.
Ok," he said and went inside.
God. I didn't mean to hurt him.
Hudson, I am sorry I didn't mean it that way," I yelled, anxiously.
I looked at Alex and Liam nervously.
They shook their heads in disapproval.
I don't think he ever cared or loved you fakely," Liam said, coldly.
You could just say No instead of saying FAKE," Alex said, frowning.
Alex stood up and went inside.
I sat beside Liam on the sofa, my chest felt tight.
He must be in his room," Liam said, tugging my hair behind my ears.
I didn't mean it that way," I said, my lips trembling.
It's okay, everyone says something without thinking," Liam murmured, stroking my hair.
His words were true.
Hudson cared for me, fed me, gosh he behaved like a father sometimes.
I asked him so many favors and he did it without any second thought but me…
God, I am a horrible person.
I felt tears rolling down my cheeks and I bit my cheeks, controlling my sobs.
I stood and marched towards his room, wiping my tears.
Hudson," I whispered standing in front of his room.
I opened the door and saw him sitting on his bed.
Yes," he said, his eyes fixed on the phone.
I will go with you," I said, fiddling with my fingers.
It's okay, Alex will accompany me there," he said, standing up.
No, no I am coming," I said, standing in front of him.
Iris, no need. I don't want to force you to do something," he wiped my tears and rubbed his thumb over my cheeks.
You can stay here, I will inform Ace you're not going with me," he said, peaking my hair.
Wahh!," I hugged him and buried my face inside his chest.
I am coming," my words came out muffled.
He chuckled and hugged me.
If you're doing it in pity or just returning a favor then don't," he said, taking out his handkerchief.
I am not. I am your sister, that's why I am doing this, just not blood-related," I murmured.
He wiped my nose.
Alex cleared his throat standing in the doorway.
I am GOING," I yelled looking at him, hugging Hudson.
Well, then I am saved tonight I guess," Alex chuckled.
I ordered a dress for you, it's in your room as usual," Hudson said, looking at his watch.
I nodded and walked towards my room.
As much as I want to yell at him for buying a dress for me, that would be useless.
Because it's not the first time he's randomly buying a dress for me.
His excuses are like "Well I thought this dress looks good on you" or "My sister deserves the best things that's why".
I always have a room in Hudson's house.
Hudson's house was the biggest mansion I have ever seen.
We were not real brothers and sisters but he always behaved like a brother. A responsible, caring brother.
Isaac never treated me the way Hudson cared and treated me.
I sucked in a breath and shook my head. It was in the past and let it be.
My eyes widened when I saw the dress.
It was so beautiful.
Black dress with a bow on it. Fantastic.
I freshen up quickly and put on my dress.
I put my hair in a half-bun hairstyle because Ace said it suited me.
You look beautiful, la mia bellissima sorella," Hudson said, chuckling.
Thank you, you look handsome," I said, giggling.
He hummed and bowed, playfully.
Ok then Bye bye," Alex said, patting my head.
We left the house with two cars filled with guards.
Hud," I whispered, fiddling with my dress.
Yes," he said, humming to a song.
Did Ace kill Ivan," I asked, biting my lips.
No," he said, confusing me.
He didn't after whatever happened," I asked.
No, he hasn't killed Ivan yet," He said, making my stomach twist nauseously.
Ace likes to kill people," I asked.
He looked at me and shrugged.
I released a breath that I didn't know I was holding.
It's not like I expect Ace to stop killing people because I can't stop him.
No matter what, I can't stop it. I have to accept that.
The car stopped in front of a big mansion and I got out.
What if they find out," I asked, nervously.
I am gonna puke in fear.
Trust me, no one will find out," he said, straightening his suit.
Just be yourself, and don't blabber," he said, chuckling.
We walked inside as a butler took out jackets.
Winter has finally arrived.
Why did they invite you here," I asked as we sat on the couch.
Just a casual dinner," he said, confusing me.
That's weird," I said, scratching my forehead.
He pinched my cheeks.
Mr. Lincoln," a man said, enthusiastically.
They both hugged and greeted each other.
You must be," The man said, looking at me.
Iris, my sister," Hudson said, smiling at me
It's a pleasure to meet you," he extended his hand, smiling at me.
I put my hand on him and he kissed my hand.
An awkward chuckle left my lips.
I bowed to him and greeted him back.
I am Antonio Thomas," he said, smiling.
White hair, wrinkles prominent on the face, around 50s. How sweet.
It's a pleasure to meet you, sir," I said, offering a smile.
As we sat down, a maid offered us juice.
Thank you," I said to the women, politely.
My family will be here in a minute," Antonio said, comfortably sitting on the couch.
You're really beautiful and mature for your age," Antonio said.
Don't tell me you read people, Antonio," Hudson laughed.
No, Edrick told me about you, how you compose yourself in college," he said, impressed.
Gosh, I felt my cheeks burning.
I smiled and nodded.
What do I do now?
My breath stopped when I saw a woman in her 40s come out with a girl and Edrick.
Let me tell you they looked like goddesses.
This is my lovely wife, Jennie and my princess Jenna," he said, proudly.
I offered them a smile and looked at Edrick.
He had a stupid smirk on his face.
You're his sister," Jenna said, scanning my appearance.
I looked at Hudson, afraid.
Yes, do you have any problem with that," Hudson said, with a tinge of coldness in his voice.
No, just asking. I mean all these years I thought you were a single child," Jenna said, her eyes never leaving mine.
No, just kept her safe all these years. She's a precious gem for me," Hudson said, looking at me.
I scooted closer to him when I felt his family staring at me.
Let's leave the kids here, or else they will be bored with our talks," Jennie said chuckling and standing up.
Don't be afraid," Hudson said, going God knows where.
I nod and he peaked my hair.
Iris," Edrick sat beside me, sighing.
It was just us.
Jenna, Edrick, and me. I am dead.
Do you know Ace," Jenna said, pouring wine for herself.
Yes. He's my freaking boyfriend.
No," I said, rubbing my arms comfortingly.
I want to go home. To Ace.
Tsk. Hudson knows Ace and you want me to believe his friends don't know you," Jenna said, sipping her wine.
I hummed and nodded.
She rolled her eyes and sighed in…disappointment.
I don't like her.
Look, I want a favor from you," she said, standing up.
Jenna," Edrick raised his voice.
I want his number, do you have it," she asked looking at me.
Ace," I asked, confused.
She nodded.
No," I said, folding my hands against my chest.
My foot. I am not giving her his number.
You don't have it or you don't want to give it," she said.
I stood up and smiled at her.
Even though I have it, I don't think it's good manners to give someone's number to anyone like that," I said, coldly.
Gosh, she's a mean girl.
I am not 'anyone' to him, I am his fiance," she said, walking away.
I looked at her in disbelief.
What the hell! Fiance. My butt.
I thought you would not come," he said, smirking.
How bad my day could go.
.
.
.
What. No," Hudson said.
NO. The stupid girl there is telling me that she's his fiance," I exclaimed
It was 9 in the night.
Thankfully after hours, we left that stupid house.
Hudson was driving me home.
Come one, you believed her," Hudson rolled his eyes.
Well, who knows Ace forgot to tell me that he has finance now," I exaggerated.
No, he has a little girlfriend," Hudson said, side-eyeing me.
I huffed and looked outside the window.
Don't worry, maybe she was just a fling," he said.
Fling, like having intercourse without any relationship," I said.
Yeah," he said, chuckling.
Alex did make you a little smart," he said, laughing.
That's true. Alex was the one who taught me this generation's words and their meaning.
Hudson stopped the car and I got out quickly.
I have to pee.
Jealous, ah," he smirked.
Why would I be jealous? Just knowing things," I said, candidly.
He raised his eyebrow, teasingly.
I waved to him and went inside the house.
Maybe a little irritated but not jealous.
