She was indeed gold in the midst of clay and that was why his tale had to end this way.

  Nothing beautiful can ever exist in his life. He was tired of keeping her from happiness, he wanted her to experience that joy others had experienced.

  That joy he had deprived her. He wanted to be a good friend and let her go. This may be his last opportunity to sow a good seed in life.

  He fondled with the tip of her hair and watched as she also watched him.

  He had never seen anyone with a heart so deep and forgiving in his entire life. That she could even allow him to get so close to her after all he had done.

" Iris I'm still very sorry" 


        ******************************

    Iris had moved on to a better life. Infact, she no longer bore her name. She was now referred to as Jules.

  Working as the secretary for one of the most lucrative businessmen in Bridgewaters seemed like the best of her good years, till a temporary transfer was made.

  She was now to work for another employee. Mr McConnell's son. The man who made her high school days miserable, the man who broke her and made sure she had no means to pick herself back up.

The man who raped her.

  Now theirs is a tale of hate, hurt, regrets, tears, fears and discovery.

  And maybe love.

Don't forget, there's a very thin line between love and hate.

LOVED

" I can't believe three idiots and an elder are under the same roof!" 


If you called Megan then you're correct. 


" Look I know you love your brother and hate Hunter but there's no need for name calling" I chuckled into the receiver. 


 She called in the office at around eleven am and this is some minutes to one in the afternoon. 


 We really have a lot to cover and discuss. 


" Don't give yourself credits, when I said elder? I meant Louisa" 


" Oh shush mush.. I'm still angry with you. It's really annoying that I got to hear of this Mason Reid through Dylan" 


 I feel bad that she had to hear it from him too, but it's already bad enough that he is Meredith's brother. 


In a way, I feel like I'm betraying her trust. 


" I'm sorry, but you know. Meredith and all other factors" 


" I got to find out he's Meredith's brother from Dylan too. What is wrong with the world!?"
