Love me a little or a lot

You will not find a groom if you continue this way Iris, you are twenty three!!! I met your father at nineteen and we had you when I was twenty one my dear. Mom I’m only twenty three, I have a long way to go besides I do not see any man deserving of me. You do not expect me to jump at the feet of any man that comes my way simply because my parents are hungry for an heir.. Look iris, I and your father went through so much to get you. It’s so unfortunate that I can no longer bear children for your father but if you get a husband we can get an heir from you, do you understand ? Mom I understand, trust me I do but the truth is, I am not ready for love and all the blind dates you arranged for me ended up being bad. Carlos is an addict, James still believes in patriarchy, Joe has four baby mamas and Ethan is sixty years old mom he is even older than you are!! what were you thinking!!! Well, you can still try going on a few more dates, you never can tell when you would get a good catch. Besides I hear that the young C.E.O jack is in search of a beautiful bride and no one would fit in this description better than the all beautiful Damian Iris Eloise. The only child and daughter of Harris lord Damian “The king of fortune” Look baby, you have to fix yourself and work towards getting a groom now that you are in your prime, young and beautiful. Mom, it’s okay You can leave my room now I was just about to but get dressed for the ball, we are leaving in 30minutes Miss! Whatever mom, Bye! Iris p.o.v Friday evenings are the worst evenings for me, we get to go on those ball parties. I have no choice but to get acquainted with those boring kids from the “High Social Class” Yes, yes I’m one of them but I do not feel like it, I often feel forced to mingle with them. It’s another Friday and I know my mom would send in a new dress styled in her favorite colors not mine All my life I never really got to live for myself, all I did was live for my family and that’s really insane! I love Grey but my mom gets me red dresses all the time. It makes me feel blood thirsty, but what can I say, I’m the daughter of Harris Lord Damian “The King of Fortune” I must fit in society no matter what it takes. The maid had brought in this red dress It was a red velvet ballgown, shimmering with crystals, its sweeping train and daring slit radiating effortless power. Yes, of course my mom has good taste she is the all powerful, beautiful and influential lady Cleophina Maurice Harris Lord Damian “ The business tycoon” Yes my mom was born into wealth and she married into wealth Of course the legacy continues! I wasn’t feeling too good tonight or rather I wasn’t prepared to meet with those mannequins posing as humans So I told the maid, “kate” to take back the dress and inform my folks that I would be able to make it to the ball because something i ate upset my stomach Kate did as instructed but the next thing was a knock at my door and my mom badging in on me “You would not find a groom if you continue this way Iris, you are twenty three” it sounded like a broken record to me I have heard such words since I was twenty and now it feels like empty threats to me. After so much discussion I had to agree to this whole ball party thing because of course the Damians need an heir! So I need to get a Groom I put on the red dress, my hair swept into a sleek chignon, strappy gold stilettos on my feet, ruby drop earrings catching the light, and a crystal clutch in hand—I carried an aura of effortless power. I am a Damian anyway so I still got the elegance. Mom said to meet her downstairs in 30minutes so I had to get ready quickly “Iris please come downstairs quickly, you have a visitor”, my mom said. A visitor? I asked myself because I know I did not invite anyone over and I have just one friend which is Elizabeth and she is the last person to show her face here since my father does not consent to our As I walked down the stairs I could hear laughters and giggling, a strange male voice also and I couldn’t figure out who it was. It was Clinton, one of those mannequins, i wonder what her wants. “Hello Iris”, he said Hello Clinton, to what do we owe this pleasant surprise? “Surprise?, I had informed Mrs Damian on my plans to be your date to the Colin Ball Party” I looked at my mom with so much anger and displeasure “Clinton, do not bother yourself with Iris, I informed the young lady earlier today but I guess she forgot about it”, my mom said I stood there quietly with a smile on my face because I had no other solution but to concur to whatever my mom just said. “Shall We”, my father asked We all moved to the car park I was about entering into the car when my mom said “ No Iris you have to go with Clinton, the young man came all the way for you, do not keep the gentleman waiting” I knew it was going to be a long night for me
