The Betrayed Heiress's Second Comeback-Chapter 87: Ch : Bringing Iris out- Part 1

Damian’s POV

"Please follow after me. My boss said that he has a nice surprise for you that you won’t be able to take your eyes off. You might even forget everything about your partner..."

His choice of words was deliberate, meant to provoke. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

My glare caused the teenager to stop yapping and quickly shut his mouth. Fear flickered across his face before he looked away.

He was far too annoying, and the only reason I had not done something about him was because I still needed him.

I walked behind the teenager until he led me to the back room, where a man wearing a mask welcomed me.

"Ah, welcome to my humble establishment, Damian Black. I was surprised to see you here, and even more so to see you with a partner. I take it to mean that you are finally interested in our products?"

The man, who could only be the ’boss’ the teenage boy kept mentioning, asked me.

I took the offered seat without being asked and crossed my legs before resting my folded hands on top.

I made sure my composure was unmistakable.

"Hmm, you are rather brave to ask me this. Did you not see that I came here with a partner?"

I asked, wanting to see how the other man would answer me.

But the boss only blinked at me before giving me a pitiful look.

"You came... with your partner? And what is enough to stop you from fulfilling your desires? Master Damian, I looked at you and your partner, and I can tell that there is a lack of... spark there. People like you and I—we won’t be satisfied with just this much."

The boss sounded confident as he told me this.

He lit a cigar and took a deep puff before letting the smoke out.

"What are you suggesting to me?"

I asked, not wanting to play this game tonight.

The boss flinched at my impatience before quickly telling me what he wanted.

"Sir, I doubt your partner has what it takes to satisfy you fully. She clearly needs training. Why don’t you let me train her for you? Meanwhile, I have someone else for you whom you can use to satisfy your urges—"

My body acted on its own, and I grabbed the boss by the neck before he could finish speaking.

The room went silent instantly.

I did not regret my decision, even when my mind caught up with my body and realized what I had done.

’How dare this man say all that about Jenna? He wants to train Jenna? He will only be able to touch Jenna over my dead body...’

"S-Sir, please let me go..."

The boss I had grabbed begged for his life as he tried to pry my hands off his neck.His struggle was weak and desperate.

His face was turning pale, and he was about to lose consciousness any second.

"B-Boss, are you alright? H-Hey, what are you doing? L-Let him go..."

The teenager tried to save his boss from my clutches, but it was too late.

His boss lost consciousness before the teenager could help him.

My anger subsided a little when I saw that the man was finally quiet and unconscious, and I threw him aside.

He collapsed like dead weight.

"Y-You... what kind of monster are you? Boss—! Are you alright...?"

The teenager hurried past me toward his boss—or at least, that was what he intended to do.

I grabbed him by the back of his shirt before he could take another step.

He froze instantly.

"Show me the ’surprise’ your boss prepared for me. I would like to have a look at it."

The teenager shook and tried to defy me, but he was too scared to do much after seeing what I had done to his boss.

"I... alright. Your surprise is behind that door. I-It’s boss’s personal pet. Please, do not harm me..."

The teenager told me, and I let him go to be with his beloved boss.

Ignoring the drama behind me, I headed toward the door and slammed it open.

A sharp scent hit me immediately.

The first thing I noticed was the heavy scent of perfume and other substances in the room that made me feel light-headed.

But I had sufficient training to ignore it all and head straight toward the bed, where a somewhat familiar face rested.

Iris was conscious, but her mind was not there. Her eyes were empty.

She looked at me as if she did not know who I was, then immediately crawled over to me and looked up at me, awaiting my orders.

"Get up."

I told her, and she obeyed without hesitation.

She was like a doll, trained to follow anything I told her without complaint.

It was unsettling to watch.

And she had a pleasant face as well.

It was no wonder she and the other ’products’ here were popular.

"H-Hey, what are you doing? You can’t just take her with you..."

The teenager protested as he came after me, trying to stop me.

I slapped his hand away before it could touch mine and gave him a glare.

"Are you telling me what I can and cannot do? Surely that means you are ready to face the consequences of your actions as well?"

I told the boy, and he immediately took a step back as his knees buckled.

"I-I know I can’t stop y-you. But you still c-can’t just take the boss’s property away—!"

My fist collided with the door, and the teenager flinched.

The threat was clear.

"If you have any complaints, send them to my secretary—the right one this time. But if you do, I cannot guarantee your safety."

I told him, and he gritted his teeth before retreating.

At least he was smart enough to know when to cut his losses.

He did not try to stop Iris or me when we left.

However, there were people in the hallway who would recognize her, so I grabbed a cloak before exiting the room and draped it over Iris’s head as soon as we were outside.

"Keep your head down and follow behind me."

I instructed her as I led her back to Jenna.
