Black and Grey | Book 1

Chapter 10

I woke up to the sun streaming in through the big window. I noticed that I was in Grayson's room again, but I didn't think too much of it.

I didn't know how to feel about the fact that the 'father' I lived with all my life isn't my actual dad. As well as that, my dad may still be alive. It scared and terrified me, but brought a warm feeling to my heart that one of my real parents be alive.

My whole life was a lie and I genuinely didn't know what to do. How was I so oblivious to everything? I tried to think back to when I was younger, briefly remembering a flash of black hair.

Was that my real mother?

The door opened and Grayson walked in wearing a black suit.

"Get ready, we're going to the villa." He said.
"Villa?" I asked.
"Where we went to meet the others, Caterina, Ethan and Marcello. You can meet the others today." He said and I nodded, remembering.

There's more people to meet?

I sighed and started to get up, Grayson stood there and looked at me for a moment.

"Are you okay?" He asked, genuinely looking concerned and I looked at him.

"I dont know." I said truthfully and shrugged. He frowned at my reply, but nodded and walked out, closing the door behind him.

I got changed and swept my hair back into a soft low bun at the back of my head. I put on my makeup and looked in the mirror one last time. I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." I called and Grayson walked in.

"Pack all of your clothes. We're going to leave in ten minutes." He said as he was typing something into his phone, seeming busy.

"Why all of my clothes?" I asked and he looked up and slipped his phone into his pocket.

"You're moving into the villa. From now on, you'll be living there."

"How come?" I asked.

"It's better to keep you with everyone else and plus, you won't be lonely." He said and I smirked slightly.

"Thank god, I won't have to see your face all the time now." I said jokingly and he narrowed his eyes at me and crossed his arms. He leaned against the wardrobe trying to look intimidating, but I saw his lips curve up slightly, feeling amused at what I had said.

"Trust me, one day in that house, surrounded by them all, you'll be missing me." He said cockily.

I chuckled, but gave him an appreciative nod.

"But seriously, Thank you for looking after me, even if I've been a bitch." I said gratefully.

Might as well start getting used to things around here. Looks like I'll be here a while.

Also, from what I've seen, Grayson didn't seem like a threat to me from what I'd seen so far.

"At least you're admitting it." He smirked and I rolled my eyes. I hit his chest as I walked past him. I went into the living room to look for some of my stuff.

"Iris." Grayson said.

"Hmm?" I asked as I collected my stuff, but was trying to look for my phone charger.

"You look beautiful." He said and I stopped what I was doing and looked at him for a second before beaming a smile at him.

"I know." I said confidently and he rolled his eyes, but had a hint of a smile on his lips.

"Come on, I'll help you pack up." He said.

We were now currently in the car, on the way to the villa.
