Fatal Affairs

Chapter Seventeen

Iris staggered towards Sheri's apartment door, Sheri opened the door immediately,

Iris walked in,

"Are you okay?" Sheri asked.

"Where is he?" Iris croaked.

"In the bedroom, Abby my nextdoor neighbor is attending to him" Sheri replied.

"She is a nurse" Sheri added.

Iris rushed into the room,

Ariel was lying on the bed his face disfigured and covered in blood, his forehead was wrapped in bandage. Abby stood over him cleaning his wound.

Iris walked towards him, she chuckles as she runs her fingers through his hair.

"You should see your self right now you look like shit."

Ariel managed to give her a little smile.

"I thought I lost you for ever" Iris sniffled.

"I'm glad to have you back baby" Iris said.

"Thanks a lot Abby" Iris turned to Abby.

Abby nodded.
"I gave him some morphine to help with the pain, he needs a lot of rest"

Iris nodded, Abby packed her things and left.

Iris sat beside Ariel stroking his hair with a smile on her face.

"Lex told me he was going to kill me and put my body in the freezer, I was so fucking..... scared" Taylor explained.

Luca kissed her forehead.
"You are fine now sweetheart"

Andrea rolled her eyes and Taylor smirked at her.

"What punishment is Logan going to give me, am I going to die eventually?" Taylor asked.

"No you are not going to die, Logan hasn't decided your punishment yet but I'm certain it's not death" Luca replied.

Logan walked into the room with a pissed off expression on his face.

"Andrea let's talk outside"

Logan turned and walked out, Andrea followed him out.

Logan paced back and forth on the terrace.

"Can you stop pacing and tell me what is bothering you?" Andrea asked impatiently.

"You are bothering me Andrea" Logan thundered.

Andrea scoffed.
"What did I do this time brother?"

"Why would you confront Aspen about the funds Taylor and Steve embezzled?" Logan asked.

"Isn't it obvious, the documents were going to Aspen, so he is a suspect" Andrea replied.

"That doesn't mean you should confront him, right now he is an important person and we need him more than he needs us" Logan said sternly.

Andrea blows raspberries.
"Don't say that everyone one is replaceable"

Logan let out a wry laugh.
"You are always rude to Aspen since he started working with us, I'm warning you do not get on his bad side"

"I'm not scared of him and I can perfectly take care of myself" Andrea shrugs.

Logan scoffs.

"Wait a minute, are you scared of...........Aspen?"

"This isn't about fear but there are some lines you shouldn't cross, he is better as an ally than an enemy" Logan replied.

"But I was just trying to...." Andrea protested.

"Got it?" Logan interrupted.

Andrea sighs.
"Fine, I will never try to get on Aspen's bad side"

"Good" Logan turned and walked off.

Andrea snorts, "Bad side my ass"

Iris laid a sleeping Baby Beth in her craddle.

"Aren't you going to ask him?" Sheri asked.

"Ask him what?" Iris asked.

"What he did with the fifty grand he owed El Ramos" Sheri replied.

Iris turned to face Sheri and sighed.
"He is in a really bad shape right now when he recovers I can ask"

Sheri scoffed.
"You are unbelievable, get some rest anyway you look really tired"

Iris nodded and walked to the living room, she lay on the sofa and closed her eyes.

Logan's face appeared in her head, she smiled as she mind went back to what happened at the strip club.

She slipped her hands into her pants and touched herself,

The thought of Logan doing things to her filled her imagination.
