No Assumptions

“You’re not,” he said. “But you also don’t get to decide that, especially not right now.”

That made her lips twitch in a funny way, as she was already blaming herself for talking. The penthouse seemed to blur for no particular reason. Even her footsteps somehow felt too loud as she followed him down a long endless corridor, and at same time, fearing to say anything. Different kinds of artworks lined up the walls, from abstract, to expensive ones, even down to emotional

  • Lost Peace

    Chapter 57Lost PeaceThen Julian replied, "I want you to understand something very important. When you learn about the person in charge of everything, there would be no going back to peace.""There's no need holding anything back from me because I already lost peace a long time ago," Iris said with a chuckle.That statement made Julian's face turn cold for the first time before Iris. It wasn't out of rage of everything that had been happening, but his resolve to protect her even more. As everywhere remained silent, his phone suddenly started vibrating, getting his attention back. On checking the screen, he discovered that it was Nathan, but surprisingly, he ignored it. To him, Iris was the only thing that mattered to him at that moment. Iris suddenly noticed his change of attitude, then decided to move closer to him, maybe she could make him spill all he knew about her downfall. "Tell me everything you know," she requested. Julian stared down at her, his eyes glued intensively on

  • Final Attachment

    Chapter 56Final Attachment “Continue,” he said quietly, contributing no other word.She then scrolled down to know if there were other messages sent to her that she knew nothing about."This isn't my way of asking for forgiveness from you. Far be from be, because I actually benefited from it monetarily. I am only passing out this information to alert you of the movement being made recently by the same people to get you again. The reason you became a target to them was because of your refusal to sell your patents then. They did everything possible to force you to merge, bit you blindly refused all their adverses. And at same time, some powerful people were targeting you, craving to have you silenced forever. That way, they would have enough time to carry out their atrocities."Iris scrolled down again, and there was an audio clip, which seemed to be the final attachment. She opened it almost immediately, because she was too eager to know the content. She noticed the voice was disto

  • Iris' Past Returns

    CHAPTER 55 Iris’ Past ReturnsThe message had arrived very late in the night, with no formalities exchanged, or name attached to it. It had only one subject addressing it: You deserve to know the truth.Iris was now seated at the dining table in the penthouse, after an impromptu date with Adrian during the day, though she kind of liked it. Even though the date went well, and too short, she didn't want to invest her time thinking about it, so her laptop was open before her, as she reviewed the different feedback from her recent consulting session. She also promised Adrain a proper date, but that would be after taking care of some things. While still working, dhe almost ignored the email that entered, kind of interrupting her flow. Julian on the other hand hadn't also retired for the night, as he was across the room, silent as usual nothing new, and busy reading through documents on his tablet. While on his business, he suddenly noticed the moment her breathing changed.“Is something

  • The Man's Smile

    Chapter 54Adrian took a quick glance at the car Iris had stepped out of, completely wowed at the sight before him. “Nice ride you've got there.”Iris smiled in a most charming way, leaving Adrain breathless, Vivian struggling for his life, and Celeste grinning from ear to ear, clearly enjoying the drama. “It’s actually not mine,” Iris replied calmly, not ready to pose as the owner, even when the situation requires she do just to save her face. “Just… borrowed for the main time.”Celeste arched her brow the moment she heard that. “Borrowed from whom exactly?”Vivian narrowed her eyes unbelievably, wondering who could have been her support system in her pathetic days. First, she was protected, now, she could easily use expensive cars like they were her own.The words kind of crowded her mind, with each of them craving for attention.Adrian didn’t press further to know who was behind her sudden comeback. Instead, he gestured her toward the restaurant entrance behind them, a way of sugg

  • The Arrival of Iris Nolan

    Chapter 53The Arrival of Iris Nolan Vivian froze instantly at the sight of Iris, the very person she detests so much. For half a second, the whole world remained at a stand still, as she believed her eyes were playing tricks on her. Iris on the other hand looked rather very composed, with soft beige coat, her soft hair falling loosely over her shoulders in a carefree abandon, her confidence wasn't forced, and at same time, worn quietly. She looked nothing close to the publically disgraced woman Vivian had mocked months ag.Adrian looked up immediately, as if her scent had helped in drawing her close to him. He was able to recognize her the very second he set his eyes on her, and that made his entire posture changed, making Vivian almost run mad. “Iris?” He called her name like he had memorizd it for years, and waiting for the day he would show the world how much of her he missed. His voice carried so much warmth that Vivian feared there might be er be any room for her. It was too

  • Old Flames and New War

    Chapter 52Old Flames and New WarVivian’s eyes widened the moment her crazy friend suggested the idea to her. “Have you finally lost your mind, and in such terrible nsnner?”Celeste shrugged like it was nothing new to be done by anyone. “I’m just saying, and who knows it might be the solution you have been looking for. You look like you won't survive the next minute each time he's in the same space as you."The word seemed to enter Vivian's head, as she risked another glance at Adrain.Luckily for her, Adrian hadn’t noticed her presence. He didn't even know he was sharing same space as his old school mate.Strangely enough, that made her relieved. She wouldn't have appreciated it if he had seen her in this fragile, very socially unstable moment of hers. She wouldn't have survived it either if he had somehow witnessed Richard’s polite dismissal.Then, her chin lifted high, as that somewhat gave her courage. Her smile gradually became brighter at the thought. “Celeste,” she called, sud
