In matters like these, Iris Harris hasn't been spared from suffering.
Back in the days when their relationship wasn't as it is now, she endured several instances of torment from him. At times, it even made her feel terrified.
And now, that fear is creeping back again.
She felt the darkness engulfing her vision, unsure if it was caused by the intense pain or if the toxins in her body were more easily triggered by emotional turmoil. She found that she couldn't see Brandan Hyde's face anymore, just his deep panting echoing in her ears.
She wished even her sense of hearing would fade away.
She didn't want to admit that the man tormenting her at this moment was Brandan Hyde.
The person causing her such pain was Brandan Hyde.
She didn't want to admit this.
...
Iris lowered her head, her body weakened and on the verge of collapsing to the ground. She could feel Brandan Hyde's gaze descending from above, cold and heavy, like a thin blade slicing through her fragile nerves.
Love...
