***THIS IS A FANFIC OF GRAYSON DOLAN***
20 year old, Iris Juanita, still trying to relieve from her horrible and haunting past just wanted to live a normal life.
Trying to find a decent job and getting a good earning while meeting the mafia's family...
I gulped as I stared at Grayson. His jaw was clenched and his hands were fisted so tightly that they were turning white. I glanced at Ethan who was stood a few steps in front of me. He didn't say anything, and stared back at Grayson. After a few moments of silence, Ethan put his hands in his pockets and walked past Grayson. Grayson's eyes followed him, but he slapped his hand on Ethan's chest and pushed him back. "What the fuck." Grayson seethed at Ethan and Ethan looked at him, before removing his hand and dropping it. "You caused this, so don't even start. Sort your fucking issues out Grayson, she's sick of it." Ethan said and nodded his head back at me. I didn't know what to do as Grayson averted his eyes to me, staring me down. I looked away from his gaze and onto the walls, feeling the pressure weigh down on me. I looked back at the both of them. Ethan took one last look at Grayson before walking off. It was now just me and Grayson. I didn't look at him, and opted to go into my room as well. "Stop." He suddenly said and I don't know why for the life of me, I listened to him. I turned around and looked at him to see him staring at me. "What's going on between you and Ethan?" He asked and I scoffed. "You're seriously questioning me right now?" I said, while looking at him unbelievably. "Yes." He said and I shook my head. "You really do need to sort yourself out Grayson. I've apologised to you for what happened, but you didn't bother to listen to me. I'm still sorry for that, but I don't know anymore. You've treated me like shit and now expect me to come running back to you like a dog." I ranted and stared at him furiously. I didn't wait to see his reaction and turned around to go back into the room. I huffed and grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom to have a shower. I heard Grayson come in and listened to him go back out and sighed in relief. I didn't even know how I felt anymore, I was just tired of all this, and wanted to go back to my normal life. The life I had before I got involved in the mafia and before I met Grayson.

After I had a shower, I settled down on the bed and watched some tv shows that were currently playing. My phone buzzed and I looked down at the message. I frowned as it was from an unknown number. "Call me." It said and I ignored it. A few seconds later, my phone buzzed again and I looked down to see the message. "It's Zara." My heart beat loudly and I gulped. Before I had time to think, the phone began to ring from the same number. I hesitated but picked up the call. I put the phone to my ear and it was silent for a few seconds before I heard her voice. It's been so long. "Iris?" I heard Zara day and I cleared my throat. "Zara." I said into the phone and I heard her sigh with relief. "Oh my god Iris. Are you okay? How have you been?" She asked me and my eyebrows rose in surprise. "I-I've been okay." I said and she stayed quiet. "Iris, I need you to believe me. Whatever they said about me isn't true, I promise you." She said and I frowned. Who was I supposed to believe? "What?" I said, confused. "Look, I've got a plan. A plan for me and you to move away from here and away from them." She said referring to the mafia. "I-I don't know Zar." I said unsurely. "Iris think about it. We could go back to our normal lives, before all this got in the way. Don't you want that? Look, I know it must be hard for you to believe me, since all they said about me was bullshit to you. I promise you Iris, I would never do that to you." She said, and I heard it in her voice. Something in her voice indicated that she wouldn't want to hurt me purposely. "How would we even do this?" I asked. "Tomorrow, I just need you to ask Marcello if you can go out," she started, but I was confused as to how she even knew Marcello, but I didn't question it, "say you need to go shopping or whatever. You'll most likely have a bodyguard with you, go to the mall and go to the first floor. Go to Victoria Secret. The bodyguard probably won't follow you in there. I'll meet you in there and from there, I'll tell you the rest. So, are you in?" She asked and I looked out the window, watching people walk about freely. I saw the couples and I saw the kids running about happily. I just wanted to have a normal life again. I just want to be happy and not trapped and always constantly living in fear.
