(👫 Her Scent, His Weakness 🧡)
Bryan watched Iris leave, he shrugged and turned to his driver.
“You’re fired.. hand the keys to my guards” he said strolling past the man who kept his head bowed remorsefully.
Bryan checked his wristwatch as he entered the deserted building, he headed to the elevator but it dinged before he could get in.
Bradley emerged with his guards, his eyes met Bryan’s and he rolled his eyes.
“It won’t hurt to say ‘hello brother’ ” Bryan opened his arms as he joined Bradley who didn’t even spare him a glance.
“I can’t believe we’re twins.. do you think mum is lying?” he asked and Bradley scoffed as they stepped out.
“Our faces are different, if only you could keep your big mouth shut.. no-one would even know we’re related talk more of twins” Bradley said coldly and Bryan huffed.
He was used to the cold shoulder from Bradley so it doesn’t hurt anymore.
“I saw a lady outside.. was she working or..? ” He wriggled his brows with a naughty glint in his eyes.
Bradley stopped in his tracks..
“Or? ” he faced Bryan who took a step away.
“Chill dude.. just kidding” he rolled his eyes and Bradley stared at him for a while before moving to his car. The guards already opened the door.
“Brad, do.. ” Bryan was saying when Bradley turned to him with bloodshot eyes.
He shuddered..
“Sorry.. Bradley I mean.. ” he stuttered and Bradley ignored him totally getting into the car. The guards shut the door and soon the car was outta the compound leaving Bryan standing like a moron.
“Ouch! that hurts” he muttered. It was a slip of tongue.. he never meant to call him Brad but.. he thought he was over it already.
“He’s so unpredictable” he mumbled under his breath as he walked to his car. Pictures of the lady flashed in his head and he sighed before getting into the car.

“Thank goodness you’re home! ” Megan breathed as she unlocked the door for Iris to come in.
Iris heaved and dropped her bag on the couch before making her way to the kitchen for a glass of water.
Megan just stared..
“Is Anna asleep?” she asked emerging from the kitchen with a glass of water in her hand as she leaned on the wall.
Megan rolled her eyes…
“Yeah she is, though I forced her to.. she insisted on waiting up for you” Megan said as she sat on the couch. Her eyes not leaving Iris.
Iris set the glass on the table reaching for her bag..
“Thank you Megan.. but I’m really exhausted. Lemme talk to you tomorrow morning” Iris said as she walked away leaving Megan in the sitting room stunned.
•••••
Iris collapsed on her bed not bothering to take of her shoes.. this was a bad omen. She can’t believe she’s this exhausted on the first day of work.
What more of other days?
She watched the ceiling for a while and her mind drifted to that night..
°°° FLASHBACK ~ 3 YEARS AGO °°°
“Iris!”
“Iris!”
She was hearing her name in triple voices, her sight was blurry. She had a big smile on her face as she whined her waist to the disco beat playing.
“You’re killing it baby!”
“I need you!”
She dug her fingers into her black hair that was scattered all over her shoulders down the way to her back.. and then she felt the hands.
The hands on her waist and trailed down her hips.. She was intoxicated, she smiled widely grinding her butts on the crotch of whoever was behind her.
The hands trailed up through her almost see through dress stopping at her belly button. She gasped but still didn’t turn around.
“Wished I was him”
“She isn’t pushing him away”
“OMG!”
She felt the warm breath of the person tickled her neck, his warm lips pressed against her neck.
“You’re gorgeous” he said, his voice was a little bit drowsy.
She turned around but then there was power outage, gasps and murmurings filled the club as the guy led her away..
°°° END OF FLASHBACK °°°
Iris cuddled her pillow crying out her eyes.. maybe if she hadn’t followed her friend to the club she wouldn’t be here..
Maybe if her mum hadn’t died, she wouldn’t have gone there..
Maybe if she’d turned around she would had seen the face of her baby’s father.. so many maybes.
But what’s done.. its done. She had no hope of finding him ever. He wouldn’t even know he had a child somewhere.
“I’m sorry Savannah for bringing you into this mess” she whispered holding her pillow tighter.
She’d cried for a long while before drifting into a troubled sleep..

Bradley stepped into his room undressing himself.. he walked into the bathroom turning on the faucet.
The drops of the liquid cold against his skin made him grew goosebumps. There was a lot on his mind.
He had a threat note to deal with, Company competition, family and now she’s trying to add to it.
He’d spent half of his day watching her on the screen so much that he felt the urge to disconnect the CCTV from their office maybe it would help in bringing back his senses.
The more he kept watching her every move, the more he felt he’d knew her somewhere. If only he could remember.
Earlier, he’d seen her with Bryan from the windows, he thought.. he’d really thought it doesn’t have anything to do with him. Guess he was wrong.. that memory was imprinted in his head.
He placed his hands on the wall as the water cascaded down his body.
He remembered the first time he saw her.. in that elevator. She brought memories of that lady.. that lady on black in a disco club 3 years ago.
He would had known if she was the one.. she doesn’t smell like the lady does. That one woman who had entrapped him.
He turned the faucet off and reached for his bathrobe without bothering to clean his body.. he put it on.
He walked back to his room and reached for his laptop and then did that thing he never thought himself doing.
He searched for her on IG, Twitter, Facebook and unfortunately couldn’t find her. Maybe she isn’t the type engrossed with social media.
What the hell are you doing Bradley! He slammed the laptop shut and climbed his bed pulling the quilt over his head.
••• Next morning, Shiny Glamours •••
Iris walked in sluggishly dragging her legs, most of the female staffs were still shooting dagger stares at her but she ignored them totally.
There were dark eye bags under her eyes.. her eyes were slightly red like she’d been crying. She managed to hide from Savannah but Megan threw a fist about it.
Her nightmares had returned and she’d never gotten them since a year ago.. maybe it’s because of the work stress.
Her nightmares always made her cry.. she’d have different scenes of touching a mole behind someone’s ears, moaning and crying softly but she’d never seen the face of the guy.
It had something to do with what happened 3 years ago.. the guy had a mole behind his right ear. One which she caressed and fell in love with that night..
Her eyes caught Bradley coming and she quickly stepped aside and bowed her head lightly as the workers murmured greetings till he passed with his guards. She raised her eyes immediately and the first thing they caught was a mole behind his ear..
