"What do you mean by that's not your home?" Ryan frowned.
"What's gotten to you?You weren't like this before I left, did anyone say anything to you?" Ryan asked worried.
"No! I just don't want to go back there." Iris replied as she sat down on the chair.
"Iris, look at me!" He ordered as he knelt, holding both her hands.
"I would never let anyone to hurt you, so please tell me what's going on?" He pleaded as immediately Iris stood up.
"I want to be free!" She declared.
"Even though we are not really married, you control my movement, I can't even go anywhere without your guards following me and I-". Before Iris couldn't finish she had given up as Ryan swiftly held her in his arms.
"Iris...are you okay?" He said as he carried her and hurried out of the pub.
THE PALACE-
"Wow! It seems you must be enjoying your time away from home." Tiana teased as Isabella rolled her eyes.
"I do miss brother sometimes but aside from that, I like it here." Isabella laughed.
"Oh really, you know I thought you really liked Ryan, I never thought you would secretly like Wyatt." Tiana stated as Isabella smiled.
She knew that in her heart there is only one man, which is Ryan and she would do anything to have him, even though she has to kill someone for him.
"Tiana, I can't wait for you to meet Ryan's wife." Isabella replied as she gave a small smile.
"Yes, Ryan has told me a lot about her...I can't wait to meet her." Tiana replied as Isabella gritted her teeth in jealousy.
RYAN'S QUARTER'S-
"How is my wife?" Ryan asked the physician since he hadn't said anything since he arrived. When Iris fainted, Ryan was so worried, he had to tell Tayler to get the physician while they were in their way home.
"Actually, the princess is really weak now and we both know she's in her early months, so in other to avoid any complications, she needs to rest." The physician explained as Ryan nodded and sent for Tayler to escort the physician out.
"Iris, please get better soon...not just for us but for the baby too." He said softly and kissed her on the forehead.
Ryan was about to get up when he noticed a white piece of paper, tugging at the end of the wardrobe. He creased his brows as he quietly strode over to where the paper was and picked it up.
"What's the marriage agreement doing here?" He thought as he suddenly frowned and looked at the paper and then at the sleeping Iris.
"Was that why she was angry and decided to leave?" He just couldn't stop thinking about what happened at the pub and how Iris voiced out her feelings. Was she really caged in this marriage? I thought she was happy but all along I was the one who made her unhappy and now she feels really trapped because she's pregnant.
Ryan groaned as he ruffled his hair and gently opened the wardrobe and put back the paper. He never wanted her to be unhappy but he knew for sure that if he allowed her freedom, he might never see her again...he hasn't even found out why his father wants to kill Iris? Is there really more to it or what?
