Iris' POV
I gently opened my eyes. My head hurts. I felt dizzy. My back hurts.
Where am I?
I roamed my eyes around the room. It was all black. I couldn't see anything!
Am I blind? I thought.
"Arrrgggghhhhhh!!!" I shouted knowing that I'm blind.
Then I heard someone opened the door. I was relieved when the man turned on the light. I thought I lost my sight.
"Oh.. You're already awaken." he smiled at me. I was dumbstruck. And I shifted my eyes to the tray he was holding. The tray was full of nutritious foods like vegetable salad, fruits, sunny side up egg, blue berry pancakes, and milk.
I raked my eyes from his feet to his face. What happened to Zeus? Why he was acting like this? I was about to move my body but it hurts like hell.
"Ouch!" I closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes I saw his face very close to me.
Like what the hell?
"You're scaring me!" I rolled my eyes and then, I noticed something beside me it was a patient monitor. I looked at my hands and I saw IV insertion. And then I realized, I was at the mansion's clinic.
"I didn't mean it." he said with an apologetic look but still, not using the word sorry.
I just rolled my eyes.
"Eat this." he put the tray in the overbed table.
I ate all of it. I'm really hungry.
"What happened to me? Why I'm here? Am I sick?" I said and drank the water.
"Well.. Obviously you are. You're not here if you're not. "
"Why? What happened?"
"Let the doctor explain to you." he patted my head.
"Okay?"
"Just rest. Okay?"
I nodded. I have to behave. I texted my mom that I can't go home.
"How's Jessamine?"
"The doctor took care of her and they promised to do everything they could do in order for Jessamine to be cancer free."
"Thanks." I closed my eyes.
I feel asleep.

Zeus' POV
I felt pity for Iris. Conscience overwhelmed me. I felt guilt. I wss stupid doing those things to her.
"Mr. Zeus, she's doing okay now. Nothing to worry about." our private doctor tapped my shoulder.
"Thanks Doc."
The doctor told me that Iris lost her consciousness because of her rapid heartbeat. Because of it, she was suffocating. I really hate myself for doing it to her.
I decided to cook breakfast for her. It was my first time cooking for a girl.
When I opened the door, I really pittied her, she was in pain. She fell off the stairs! Luckily, she only got bruises.
She ate the food I cooked for her and then she went back to sleep.
I was about to go outside when I found Bob standing in front of me, he was holding one basket full of different kinds of fruits and a bouquet of her favorite flower, Iris. He looked so shocked.
"What are you doing here in my house?!" I frowned.
"I just want to see Iris. How's Iris?"
"Are you courting her?" I said calmly.
"Yes."
"You really had the nerve to get inside my house huh."
"I just want to see--"
"I don't give a damn if your father was my personal bodyguard but now, you're fired. I don't want to see your face ever again. Do you understand?" emphasizing the phrase 'ever again'.
"I'm sorry sir, but I also don't give a damn if I'm fired. I love Iris, so much."
I was speechless. Why is it I'm jealous? I asked myself. I hate the thought of Iris dating Bob.
"So sad, you lost your job because of Iris, the person that never felt the same way about you."
He was now mad at me.
"Why are you affected sir? Is she your girlfriend?"
I shook my head.
"So why are you acting like that? You're so possessive of her, where in fact, she's just your secretary."
Without second thoughts, I punched his fat face.
He groaned. He touched his lower lip, his eyes widened when he saw red fresh blood.
He stood up and ran outside.
Fat jerk!

Iris' POV
I woke up at 5 pm. Then the doctor explained everything to me.
"Miss Austen, your heart wasn't pumping properly and it will lead to a heart disease, you should visit gyms often and exercise. I'm sorry to tell you this, but you're so fat, you almost hit obesity which was very dangerous."
"But I don't have time for gyms Doc."
"Just think the consequence."
"What happened to me Doc? Why I ended up like this?"
"Mr. Zeus said that youre taking the stairs and suddenly, you feel off the stairs."
"That's horrible."
"Yeah."
"I'll try. Thanks Doc."
"I'll go now Miss Austen."
____
"Mom, I missed you so much. How are you? How was Jessamine? How's Jarred doing? I'm sorry mom but I'm so busy today, Mr. Hawthorne said that I can't go home. I'm having an overtime." I lied.
"It's okay darling, I understand. But don't go beyond the limit, rest if you're tired. Take care of your self. We love you."
"Awwww.. I will mom."
I put down the phone. My body was so heavy. I can't take it anymore. I should go to the gym often to be physically fit.
It was 8 pm. I was all day lying at the bed while Zeus kept on cooking food for me. I'm already very fat. He was so stupid cooking food for me. But it so tempting I couldn't help but to eat all of it.
"Iris', you heard the doctor right? You should go to gyms often."
"I know."
"Good."
"Iris, I have to tell you something."
"Yeah?"
"I'll tell you soon."
"Duuhh." I rolled my eyes.
