second chance

IRIS'S PLACE

I went straight home. I got bored fast so I went outside to get some fresh air. I carried some plants with me so that I could plant them. When I finished planting them I called Tina but she was busy. I tried calling Zack but he didn't answer his phone.

ZACK'S POV
I looked at the isolated land which was Infront of me. This was the place where they had sent Iris. I wanted to doubt it but could not because I had been searching for this place for a long time. There was no signal and it was impossible to contact anyone.

I wondered how such people could leave their child in a place like this? Heh, they really had some nerve.

" CEO I just checked the route again and found that the navigation is broken, nothing is showing up," Blake reported.
" The information here is blocked and the network has not yet widely spread."

The car could not go any further so we had to walk for ten minutes in the mountain before we saw a house that was only as high as a person is head.

" Will this house collapse?" Blake has some doubts. People from the city could not understand it even I could not believe that they were still such poor places. I entered one of the houses. Inside, I could only bend my body. The roof of the house was still leaking, but it was covered with a piece of clean cloth. The stone slabs were wiped clean and a white sheep skin was laid on top of it. It looked like it was really peeled off from a sheep is body. Their was also a stone bed, covered with a thick layer of wolf skin. The small house looked shabby from outside, but inside it was a high end.

I gradually relaxed when I witnessed the scene. It seemed that Iris knew how to take care of herself and was not as pitiful as I had imagined.
" I did not expect the family to be wealthy both sheep skin and Wolf skin are expensive,"  Blake commented. Although, he did not know why we were here, he was always talkative and liked to mutter to himself. I could not help, but look coldly at him.
" This is where iris used to live," I said.
" What??" He jumped up in excitement, but hit his head on the house, causing a pile of dirt to fall down " sorry sir...I didn't mean to." He apologised. Just before I could answer him, we heard noise from outside.

" The little bastard is back again."

" Hahaha..."

" I knew it. She is not a rich young lady at all. Look she was sent back home only after a few days in the city."

" Such a disgrace."

" I'm ashamed of her."

" You know what it would have been better if she followed me earlier and given birth to a child for me. She was originally a country bumpkin, but she pretends to be high and mighty. You will see,she will be begging me in her knees today."
A man slammed the stone door of the house with force. The house was indeed different from others. The door was made up from stone and was very heavy. Iris had a string sense of protection
" Who are you? What are you doing here?" The man who had just entered started asking questions. I raised my wrist and rolled up my sleeves.
" Who were you talking about just now?" I asked, walking towards him.
" What who? Who do you think you are, outsider?" The man sneered. This man was getting on my nerves so I punched him before kicking him twice.
" Spit it out "

" What this man was talking about was about a girl who was taken away by the Carter family in the city. She has a bad temper and no one likes her. Brother are you from the city?" A girl who just entered explained before asking a question.
" CEO they should be talking about young madam," Blake said.
" Sir you must be tired from looking at a place like this.et me take you to my place so that you can rest." The girl spoke again.
" Please tell me, is my home not comfortable enough?" A woman from afar wrapped her hands around mine.
