Hearts And Heirs(A Billionaire Romance Novel)

PART 37

Iris's pov:-

I often find myself lying in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. My mind is empty, devoid of any thoughts. This has become a regular occurrence, a habitual pattern. It's as if I've grown accustomed to this state of nothingness, and I haven't made any serious attempts to break free from it.

A single tear rolled down my face.

The memory of that day, when I returned home from the penthouse, is a painful one. I cried uncontrollably, my heart shattered into pieces. It was a day that marked a turning point in my life, a day that continues to haunt me in my sleep. The heartbreak I experienced that day is the root of the nightmares that have plagued me since.

I remember thinking that day would be the end of my tears. It felt like a strong premise to myself, a way to move forward. But the reality is far harsher. The pain of what he did to me keeps coming back, like a storm that won't stop. I find myself crying every day, sometimes even in the middle of the night. His actions have left a deep wound that just won't heal. It feels like a heavy weight on my chest, a constant reminder of the hurt he caused.

How am I supposed to forget him when he's become such a such a huge part of me? He's in my heart, my soul, and every part of my life.

I can't forget him, but I'll never be able to forgive him.
The Heartbreak
The pain
The lingering sorrow.

How can he not trust me? How can he thinks I would betray him? I loved him with everything I had, but he didn't trust me.

The sudden knock on the door startled me. My Mom's voice called out, "Princess, Come out for dinner".

I haven't been eating much lately, and I'm really tired all the time. I've been spending most of my days locked in my room for the past month. Mom noticed I was crying a lot the day I came home from the penthouse and asked what was wrong, but I didn't tell her anything. I didn't want to worry her.

But Dad probably told Mom about what happened, because she kept saying everything would be okay and that I'm strong. I appreciate her trying to help, but it's not that simple.

Speaking of Dad, he is at a party hosted by the volkov Group. He asked me to come along, but I refused because I'm not in the mood for a party.

Honestly, I haven't forgiven him for what he did to Adrian. It was completely wrong, and I also partially believe he played a role in my breakup with Adrain.

This whole heartbreaking mess wouldn't have happened if Dad hadn't gotten himself involved with the shadow file. It's like a domino effect; one wrong move and everything crumbled.

Mom's voice pulled me out of my daydream "Princess", She began, her concern evident. "Are you coming to eat? You haven't had anything since breakfast. You'll get sick".

Helen voice came from the other side of the room, "She hasn't eaten since breakfast. God, this girl is just unbelievable, I'm telling you, Aunty".

What is she doing here, especially at this time? I hope everything is okay at the office.

"Helen, How are you?" Mom asked gently.

"I'm fine, Aunty", Helen replied in a amused tone.

"Look at her, Helen you're the only one who can make her understand", Mom said with concern.

"No worries, Aunty. I'll drag her along for dinner. I'll be there too, promise", Helen replied cheerfully.

"Okay, I'll meet you both downstairs", Mom said, her footsteps fading.

Helen pounded on the door, her voice urgent, "Iris, open up! It's important".

"What the hell?" I muttered, frustration boiling up. "God, can't I just have some peace?" I swung my legs over the bed and padded to the door, my hand reaching for the knob. Helen stood on the other side, a wide, inexplicable smile plastered on her face. "What happened?" I asked, confusion evident in my voice.

"Nothing", Helen stepped inside, a wide grin spreading across her face. "Just wanted you to open the door fast", She teased.

"Helen, you-----

"Don't waste a second! Put on your finest attire, we're in a rush", Helen demanded, her tone brooking no argument.

"Get dressed for what?" I asked, confusion evident in my voice.

"Don't ask questions", Helen replied impatiently. "Just get ready and hurry up!"

Helen marched over to my wardrobe and began rummaging through it, pulling out dresses one by one.

"I'm not in a mood------

"Nope, not hearing it", Helen replied, cutting into my sentence with a mischievous grin.

"At least tell me where we're going", I pleaded.

"It's a surprise!" Helen teased, a playful wink accompanying her words.

Surprises can be hit or miss, but something tells me this one will be amazing.
