The Contracted Stripper

He relaxed back into his seat, his gaze fixed on her as she began her performance.

She danced with an enticing blend of sexiness and grace, her movements perfectly in sync with the rhythm of the music.

When Iris finished her set, she noticed his intense gaze. Descending from the stage.

Ryan called her over, his eyes never leaving hers. She acted naive and vulnerable, which only made him more determined. “I have a proposition for you,” Ryan said, his gaze intense, Marry me,” Ryan said, his voice steady and commanding.

Iris’s eyes widened in shock, her expression helpless as if her eyes were going to pop out. Ryan almost laughed at her reaction but maintained his composure.

At first, she declined, but he threatened her with her mother’s condition, leaving her no choice but to agree.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Luca, I need you to find out everything about the new stripper at the club,” Ryan said as soon as he arrived at the office.

“The one you couldn’t stop thinking about? Sure, I’ll see what I can do,” Luca replied, raising an eyebrow.

“Yes, and do it fast. I don’t have time to waste,” Ryan snapped.

Later that day, Luca returned with information. “Her name is Iris Rayden. She’s new in town, and it seems she’s here to make quick money. But there’s something off, she’s not your typical stripper.”

“Off how?” Ryan asked, his interest piqued.”She’s well-educated and from a decent background. It’s almost like she’s hiding from something,” Luca explained.

End of Flashback******************

Back in the present, Ryan’s obsession with Iris had only grown. He spent most nights in her room, tormented by memories and the agony of not knowing where she was or if she was safe.

His family watched helplessly as he deteriorated, unable to reach him through his grief.

As Ryan was preparing to leave Iris’s room, he noticed his phone blinking with a new message.

He opened it, his heart pounding.”Meet me at the old warehouse by the docks. Tonight. Alone.

“Ryan’s heart raced as he read the message. Could this be a lead on Iris? He had to find out.

That night, he arrived at the warehouse, the eerie silence amplifying his anxiety. He stepped inside his senses on high alert.

Suddenly, a voice echoed through the darkness.”Ryan Kendrick, you’re a hard man to track down.

“Ryan spun around, his eyes searching the shadows. “Who are you? What do you know about Iris?”A figure stepped into the dim light, revealing a rugged man with piercing eyes.

“I know a lot about Iris. And about you.”

“Tell me where she is!” Ryan demanded, his desperation evident. The man smirked. “All in good time. But first, we need to talk. There are things you don’t know, secrets that go far deeper than you realize

.”Ryan’s heart pounded in his chest. “What are you talking about?”The man stepped closer, his expression serious. “Your father, Mr. Kendrick, has been hiding things from you.

About Iris, about your family. If you want to find her, you’ll need to uncover the truth. But be warned, the truth might destroy everything you know.

“Ryan’s mind reeled as the man’s words sank in. What secrets had his father been hiding? And how were they connected to Iris? Before he could ask more, the man disappeared into the shadows, leaving Ryan with more questions than answers.

Ryan returned home, his mind racing with the cryptic encounter. As he stepped into Iris’s room, he noticed a small envelope on the bed. He picked it up, his hands shaking as he opened it.

Inside was a photograph of Iris, looking terrified, with a message scrawled on the back: “Time is running out. Find the truth before it’s too late.”Ryan’s heart pounded as he realized the urgency of the situation.

He had to find Iris, but first, he needed to uncover the secrets his father had been hiding. His world was unraveling, and the answers he sought could either save Iris or destroy his family.

Determined, Ryan vowed to do whatever it took to find her. As he stared at the photograph, he knew that the path ahead would be dangerous, but he couldn’t turn back now

The next day, Ryan got dressed and headed to the office. He had some investors coming over, and he needed to be prepared.

His chauffeur drove him to the office, and he went straight to his office. On his way, he saw Luca.

“Hey man, are the investors here already?” Ryan asked.”They are on their way, hopefully,” Luca replied.”Alright, let’s get things ready.”An hour later, the investors arrived.

They went into the waiting room while Ryan and Luca prepared for the meeting. In the middle of their discussion, a notification popped up on Ryan’s phone, but he ignored it.

Almost immediately, another notification popped up, and he picked up his phone, excusing himself.

It was a message from Bella: “Ryan, please help me. I don’t know what is wrong with the baby.”Ryan replied to her message: “I’ll be back shortly. Please hold on.”Ryan rushed into the meeting room and asked Luca to finish up as an emergency had come up.”What about the documents you need to sign?” Luca asked

Ryan pulled out a pen from his suit and hastily signed everywhere needed without reading through the documents.

After signing, he dashed out of the company and into his car, zooming off. The investors left after Luca saw them off.

Luca arranged the files as he kept them in Ryan’s office, forgetting to go through them.

Ryan, worried and mentally stressed about everything happening, was rushing home to meet with Bella to find out what had happened to the baby.

His chauffeur didn’t drive him home; he was not concentrating on the road when he collided with another oncoming car.

Ryan’s car flipped in the air three times as it landed with great force on the ground.

Ryan immediately lost consciousness, as blood was all over his head and face. His windscreen broke into pieces, and the car was upside down.

Immediately the people around called an ambulance and alerted the police, which came almost immediately and rescued him from the car and took him into the ambulance, as they reached out to Ivy and Mrs Rose.
