The Contracted Stripper

” Ma Ivy came in with some policemen to get her arrested, ” Sarah said.

Ryan rushed out to see for himself, running through the stairs.

Ryan missed his steps and had a great fall.

“SIR RYAN,” Sarah screamed, rushing to Ryan on the floor in pain.

“My he…hea… Ryan said in almost what sounded like a whisper, as his view became blurry and his eyes went shut.

“Ryan! Ryan! Iris rushed to him and held him close to herself. Someone, please call the ambulance. Sarah quickly called an ambulance,” Iris screamed.

“See what you have caused, Ivy fired get away from him, Ryan, Ryan please wake up,” Ivy said.

The ambulance came in no time, and Ryan was carried inside the ambulance by the EMT.

Iris rushed to enter with him, but Ivy would not let her go in, so she pushed Iris out of the way and entered the ambulance.

Iris rushed into the house, picked a car key with a Benz logo on it, and pressed the key to know which car it was, as there were different Benz in the car park.

She got into the car that responded to the key and followed the ambulance, they got to the hospital, and Ryan was rushed to the VIP emergency room.

Ivy followed in, but Iris was restricted from going in.

Iris sat down at the reception, thinking, worried, and confused at the same time.

“Oh, good Lord, let nothing happen to Ryan.” She said a prayer.

While waiting for the doctor to come out of the emergency room, Iris slept off.

“Iris, where is my son? Mrs. Rose asked impatiently.

“He is in the emergency room,” Iris said weakly.

“What exactly happened to my son, Iris? I hope you are not responsible for this misfortune that happened to my son,” Mrs Rose said rudely.

“Calm down, Rose; can’t you see she’s already stressed? “I don’t care, darling.” Mrs. Rose said.

The doctor attending to Ryan came out.

“Hello Doctor Parker, welcome Mr. Kendrick, Ryan sustained a minor injury; he collapsed due to the force with which his head hit the ground and a little fracture on his ankle, but he will be fine”.

“He just needs to rest. When he wakes up, you can all go see him,” the doctor said.

Immediately, Ivy was seen coming out of the emergency room.

“How is your brother?” Mrs. Rose rushed to her.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Mum, he’s fine; he’s sleeping now.”

” And what the hell are you still doing here you bloody stripper and harlot?” Ivy fired.

“What do you mean?” Iris spoke, her voice shaking with tears rolling down her eyes.

“You caused all the….., oh shut the fuck up, you cheap slot”. Ivy slammed,

“You think we were not gonna find out? I knew you were a pretender and up to no good; you’re just a gold digger.” Ivy roared.

“Enough Ivy, Mr. Kendrick spoke. ” What are you saying, and what is going on here? Why are you calling her names?”

“Dad Iris here is not a fashion designer or whatever she claims to be; she’s a stripper who brainwashed Ryan to marry her.” Ivy fired.

“What? Are you sure about what you just said?”

Mrs. Rose asked.

“Yes, Mom, I did my findings and got to know about her dirty life,” Ivy said with a smirk on her face.

Iris stood there speechless, her heart pounding so fast that she just wished the ground would open up and swallow her.

Mr. Kendrick had a natural look on his face and just kept calm.

“Hello, ma’am, Mr. Ryan is awake. The nurse assigned to Ryan said.

They all rushed into the room and saw Ryan, with a bandage wrapped around his head and ankle.

“How are you feeling now? Mrs. Rose, I’m fine, Mom, just that my head hurts”, Ryan replied.

“Oh, Ryan, thank God you are fine. I was so scared”. Ivy sat beside Ryan and held his hands.

“What was the whole commotion about? You wanted to get Iris arrested, why?” Ryan asked.

“How can you get married to a stripper, Ryan? Didn’t you think about your reputation and your father’s name?” Mrs Rose asked.

“Mom, she’s my choice, please don’t start here, not now,” Ryan replied.

“Ryan, so you lied to us? You knew about her dirty life, and you still went ahead to marry her? Oh good Lord, why didn’t I find out before the marriage?” Mrs. Rose said.

“That’s enough, Rose. Let’s go home, Ivy. Let’s go.

“Is that all you are going to say?” Mrs. Rose asked her husband.

“Get well soon, Mr. Kendrick said, and he went out.

Ivy and Mrs. Rose followed Mr. Kendrick outside, both giving Iris an evil look.

“Ryan…I. Not now, Iris. Ryan cuts in. I don’t want to hear anything you have to say; I should have just stayed back in my room and come pick you up from the police station much later.”

“Iris replied in a shaky voice, but I didn’t do anything….. How is all this my fault?”

“Enough, Iris; if you won’t keep shut, you can use the door.” Ryan fired.

Iris felt like her world was coming to an end. “What wrong had she done? She asked herself.

“I’m just bad luck, she said to herself.

“How are you feeling now?” Iris asked Just before Ryan could respond, the doctor came in.

“I see you are fine now; you will be discharged soon. Ok, doctor Parker, thank you.” Ryan said.

Ryan was discharged, and they both went home. Iris tried helping Ryan up to his room when they got home, but Ryan bluntly refused.

“Call me Peter, Ryan said to Iris, But I can help you to your room. “I said, call me. Peter Ryan raised his voice.”Okay, Iris said.

She called Peter, and Peter came in immediately.

“Come help me to my room. Peter immediately rushed to his aid and took him to his room…

Exhausted, Iris went to her room, and as soon as her body touched the bed, she zoomed off to Dreamland.

Meanwhile, in Ryan’s room, he wakes up from sleep to the sound of his ringing tone.

“Hello, Dad,

“How are you feeling now, son?

“I’m fine, Dad.”Okay, I wanted you to come over to the house.”

“Okay, Dad, I will be coming right away…

“Why the rush, son? You can come over when you are much stronger.

“I am strong, dad. I will be home shortly.

Ryan said and ended the call.

I am certain Dad wants to inform me that he will be transferring all his property to me and making it official, yes, finally. Ryan said and jumped “Ouch, remembering his hurt head and ankle…

Let me prepare. I am going there right away …

Ryan got to his father’s mansion and went straight to his study room.

“Dad, yes, son…

“Son, did you fly down here? That was fast,” Mr. Kendrick smiled and said,

“Well, I didn’t want to keep you waiting since you said you wanted to talk to me, ” Ryan said.

“How is your wife? Mr Kendrick asked.

“Dad, she’s fine.

Ryan replied anxiously, waiting to hear what he had to say.

“Ok, son, well, I am going to be brief.

Ever since you got married we haven’t had time to talk; I am happy you have chosen to settle down and that shows you are ready to shoulder responsibilities.

Well, there has been a change of plans about officially handing over the empire to you….
