"Easton?" Flora's eyes filled with shock as soon as that waiter turned around and she saw him. Her eyes roamed all over his frame and she saw him wearing the apron and cap of a waiter. Flora noticed him turning aghast as soon as he saw her there but then his facial features twisted into a sheepish one. Lowering his head, he walked towards their table which made Flora stand up on her feet. He stood in front of her while looking down. She could clearly sense his hesitancy. "Hey!" Flora uttered, trying to remove that awkwardness between them. "Hi…." He replied, without darting his eyes upward at her face. Flora sighed. She knew he was feeling embarrassed but she couldn't find any relevant reason which should make him feel embarrassed before her. "So you work here?" She asked him. He nodded at her slowly, still looking down. "By the way you know you're looking very hot and pretty in this fit," she uttered, trying to lighten up his mood. He finally looked upward at her face and sa
"So, momma is at home?" Flora asked her father on the video call. She was in her room. She saw her father nodding at her. "Yes, I had some meeting, so I came to the office to attend it," he answered her, sitting on the chair of his cabin in his company. Flora beamed. "Did it go well?" She asked him. He wagged his head with a smile which widened her grin. "So how's everything going there?" He asked her. "Everything is going perfectly well here, papa. In fact, better than I had expected," she answered. Riccardo caught that extreme amount of happiness gleaming in his child's eyes which filled him with content too. "Papa ….. actually I called you to ask for your permission for something,"she told him, honestly. He dipped his head in his response. "Our campus seniors are throwing a fresher's party for all the freshers of our department tonight, so can I go there?" She didn't feel hesitant because first of all she knew, her father was never going to deny her wish and even if he would
Flora's eyes enlarged in pure shock. She couldn't just believe what her eyes had just witnessed. He punched Broody, and so hard that it broke that man, Broody's teeth and even blood oozed out of his mouth. She gaped at him, completely perplexed, like the rest of the other people around her until "You bastard…." Broody recovered from that punch and charged towards him. Flora's eyes enlarged more when she saw Broody punching him on his face which made him fall on the ground. "Easton," she uttered, stunned and ran towards him. Broody grabbed his collar and punched him again roughly. His body shrugged and he was about to fall on the ground again but Flora caught him by wrapping her arms around his back. She saw the corner of his lips bleeding and that dark bruise on his cheek which made her clench her jaw. Now she had her enough and her endurance started slipping away for the worse. "So you will protect this fucker now?" Broody laughed at her, believing how she would protect him and fi
Flora turned around as soon as she heard him locking the door. She gave him a bewildered look."Why did you lock the door?" She asked him, confused. He looked at her and her breathing slightly hitched when she noticed that treacherous blankness engulfing his eyes. It felt like he was on the edge of murdering her. His feet made their way towards her and Flora didn't know why but for a split second, the way he was looking at her, she felt like he was seeing his worst enemy in front of him. She couldn't even understand what was actually happening here and especially to him.He stood in front of her, towering her tiny frame."Are you afraid?" He asked, gazing into her sea-green eyes. Flora saw something unknown evoking in his eyes at that moment but before she could even comprehend it, he walked past her."What happened to your I can protect myself, Ms. Alfanso?" He questioned. Flora shrugged her thoughts away, believing they were just her illusions. She walked towards him and stood besi
Wordlessly, her eyes were peering at the picture of that man, Broody's lifeless body. By seeing that image, she could clearly sense that the way he had been murdered, his murderer had taken out his anger and wrath at him in the cruellest possible way. His murderer wanted to shred every inch of his skin and he did it with no sympathy. She had been taught by her father this thing. "But who did this?" She asked, finally taking her eyes away from Niley's phone. Niley heaved a sigh and shook her head. "How would I know? I just woke up this morning and checked my phone and there I saw someone had shared this picture in our campus chat group," Flora heard Niley telling her which made her look towards the phone's screen again. "But who would have….." "Hey guys! Did you check the campus chat group?" Axle barged into the room, looking extremely shocked and paranoid. Both the girls looked at him and they immediately understood what he was talking about. "Yeah, I was telling about it to
"I killed him for hurting you," his words froze her heart completely. Flora looked at him, aghast. Her eyes had rounded so much like they were going to be out of her sockets. Her mouth was hung open. Flora forgot to breathe until she saw him rolling his eyes at her."What's wrong with your sense of humour? You're not the only one who can joke around here," he uttered, frowning. Flora finally regained her normal senses, after hearing him and as soon as she understood his words, she sent him a scowl."Do you think it's something to joke about, Easton?" She blurted out, starting the engine again. "I am sorry. Seems like my sense of humour is terrible and its timing is much worse than that," he gave her an apologetic grin. Flora sighed."Sometimes, you become too difficult to understand," she uttered, looking at the road. He peered at the side of her face."Is it a bad thing?" He asked, making her look at him."The time will tell, Mr Marzel," she answered him and looked away."And what
"Sir, they are here," Flora heard the police officer uttering who had taken them to the police station. They both stepped inside the door and saw an officer sitting on the main chair of a table. He looked like the head of the officers here. The head officer snapped his eyes at both of them and scanned both of them keenly. "Have your seats," he stated, gesturing towards the chairs in front of him. Tilting her head, Flora looked at him and found his grey eyes already on her. By looking at his face, she could clearly sense that he was feeling nervous and afraid after finding themselves in a situation like this. Flora sighed and then grabbed his palm in an assuring manner. Her wordless action told him that she was with him and she was never going to leave him alone in a situation like this. He held back her hand and it didn't go unnoticed by the head officer. With their intertwined hands, they walked towards the table and sat in front of the head officer. "Thank you for your coopera
"Ain't you taking advantage of being Flora Riccardo Alfanso?" He questioned her again.Flora noticed a look of discontent on his face as he asked her that thing, like her behaviour had irked him. Fully turned around to face him, she walked towards him and stood in front of him. She had to push her head upward to look at him in his eyes as they had quite a difference in their heights.Lifting her hands up, she wrapped her arms around his burly waist. "Does this make me a bad person?" She asked him, peering into his grey eyes. He saw her lips puckering out whereas her round wide eyes were filled with sadness. He understood she didn't want him to think bad of her and his opinion about her genuinely mattered to her.A smile broke out on his face at her reaction which made him raise his hands to wrap them around her neck. Slanting his head down, he took a closer view of her eyes."Nothing can make you a bad person, Ora," he told her, smiling. His words successfully created a big and wide
“Once again, happy birthday, Eara,” “Thank you, granny grandpa,” Eara said to her grandpa Dario and granny Niova while sitting on her mother's lap. She was video chatting with them inside the car as they were heading to her birthday party venue which was N.R…Alfanso. “Bye…. enjoy your evening, my little princess. Bye,” Niova said to Eara and then looked at Flora. She nodded at Flora softly and then hung up the call. Flora sighed, heavily. After losing their daughter, Noelle, her uncle Dario and aunty Niova shifted to another country and they both also barely visited here and everyone could clearly understand why. “They are fine?” Niley asked, who was also present in that car with Flora, Easton and her husband, Kester. Flora nodded at her and then looked at Niley and Kester’s one year old daughter, Neser, who was peacefully sleeping in her mother's lap. Flora beamed at her. “Eara, don't wake her up…baby. Look, your baby sis is sleeping,” Flora said to her daughter who was trying
“Happy Birthday, Eara….” That tiny 3 year old girl opened her doe eyes, hearing that voice and a smile formed on her face, seeing her parents and grandparents. Giggling, she clapped her hands which made everyone chuckle. Smiling, Flora picked her three year old daughter, Eara, in her arms and kissed her cheek. “Happiest birthday to my baby,” she wished her. Tittering, the little girl hugged her mother. “Thank you so much, momma,” she said. “Happy birthday to my Eara,” Easton uttered, kissing the tip of his daughter's tiny nose. Ears giggled and kissed her father's cheek. “Thank you, papa,” “It's our turn now,” Aniya said, making Flora and Easton smile. Riccardo took his granddaughter in his arms and kissed her forehead. “Happy birthday, my little buddy,” he wished her. It felt like he was holding his tiny Ora in his arms because Eara just looked like her mother in her childhood. Cute and bubblish. Eara smiled and hugged her grandfather tightly. “Thank you, grandpa…” she kiss
“Ethan, stop running and come here,” Flora shouted while running behind her 4 years old toddler who was just little in his age and height but when it came to running, he could defeat athlete runners.“ETHAN….” Flora yelled out of her lungs but instead of getting scared by his mother's shouting, the little boy continued to run all around their house. “Ethan, come here. I am warning you,”The little boy giggled, hearing his mother and started circling around the dining table. By now Flora's stamina had started giving up on her. She stopped and grabbed her waist and saw her tiny trouble maker laughing at her.“Momma, you need to drink milk to become strong like me,” the little boy showed his non-existent muscles to his mother which made Flora narrow her eyes at him. Of course, he was going to advise her to drink milk when she gave him this same lecture about drinking milk regularly.“You…wait,” Flora ran towards him but Ethan again dashed away from there but this time he got bumped agai
“You love troubling me, don't you, mi alma?” That huskily deep voice and those words of her abductor filled Noelle's tummy with tingles. She felt his warm mouth giving a soft suck on her tender lips and with no second thoughts in her head, she let that warmth engulfed her entirely because that warmth belonged to the love of her life, her best friend, her soulmate…her Rican.After pecking her lips, he pulled back and let his dark brown hues get stuck over her ethereal light blue ones. Those eyes of hers which he was insanely in love with since he was a child. He tried to kiss her again but Noelle stopped him by cupping his mouth.“And what do you think you are doing, Mr Rican Alfanso?” she sent him a tiny glare which filled his gaze with amusement. Holding her wrist, he slightly pulled away her palm from his mouth only to kiss her in between her palms delicately. He was just not only irrevocably in love with her but he was obsessed with desiring and cherishing her too in every possible
“Congratulations, you are pregnant,” Flora was completely shaken after hearing those words from her doctor. She was pregnant. Her heart froze, both in thrill and nervousness. She was pregnant.“Come to my clinic tomorrow for some basic check-ups of your and your baby's health. Take care,” the doctor's words snapped her out of her shock. “O…okay. Thank you,” Flora stuttered and then hung up the call. Niley's brows furrowed in confusion, seeing that unusual reaction on Flora's face. She was looking like her doctor had caused a spell on her through her phone. “Hey! What happened?” Niley asked but Flora didn't answer. She continued to look at her phone. Scowling, Niley shook Flora's shoulder and she finally looked at her.“What happened?” Niley questioned her again. Flora blinked before finally parting her mouth to answer her.“The doctor said I…I am p…pregnant,” she uttered while stuttering and her words widened Niley's eyes but before Niley could say anything, that voice resonated.
Flora was completely confused by seeing that little kid with Kester and the very first thing which appeared in her head was who was that little boy and why he was with Kester.Flora noticed that the kid turned a bit afraid as soon as he witnessed those strangers around him. He tried to hide himself behind Kester in fear.“Cain, don't be afraid. They all are going to be your friends,” Flora heard Kester telling that kid and the way he was talking to that little boy, it made Flora suspicious of a very big thing. Was it Kester's son? If it was then it was something startling for Flora as she was not aware of this even slightly.Kester held the little boy's hand and then brought him forward.“Don't worry. They all are going to be your buddies,” Kester uttered to the kid which made the kid look at all those strangers in front of him until his doe emerald eyes caught a familiar face.“Uncle E…Easton,” the little boy stuttered, focusing his eyes on Easton which made Easton smile. He walked t
Flora saw him getting in front of her father and then he stood in front of him which paused the beating of her heart because she had no clue of what he was going to do or say to her father at this point. She had never seen her father and him exchanging any kind of words with each other and that thing had started worrying her a lot, especially when she was aware of their not so good relations and thoughts about each other.Holding her heart, she was peering at them and even the lightened up surrounding had tensed up with those two men getting face-to-face with each other until….“I am sincerely remorseful for the harm I have caused to you and your family, Mr Alfanso,” he uttered and his words startled everyone, including Flora. So he was wanting to apologise to her father and family.“Getting completely blinded by my hatred for you, I continued to harm and hurt you and your family but the truth was none of you ever deserved any of it,” he sounded genuinely guilty which was reflecting i
Next morning, Flora woke up from her beautifully peaceful sleep with the tender rays of light falling on her face. She slowly opened her lashes only to find those alluring grey eyes peering down at her. Those eyes which had trapped her very existence in them. A soft blush crept on her face because she didn't know for how long he had been staring at her while she was sleeping like a little tired baby. He saw her cheeks turning pink whereas she darted her gaze down at his chest.“Staring at someone like this while they are sleeping is considered creepy, Mr Marzel?” She taunted him while peering at his naked chest. They both were completely uncovered under that blanket and their bare bodies were also grazing against each other, turning everything more intimidating for her, especially after when her head continued to repeat what had happened between them last night and how he kept her awake more than half of the night last night.A smirk formed on his face, hearing her words. Leaning hi
Flora's heart tingled as soon as she felt him pressing his warm lips against her. Without having any second thoughts, she kissed him back while wrapping her arms around his neck.Feeling her soft and delicate lips getting captured into his mouth, he finally realised how badly he had been missing them all this time. He was restlessly needing to feel, touch and taste that tenderness of hers because only she was capable of calming that sheer desperation inside him which he felt when it came to her only.Their lips were beautifully devouring each other, having no urgency to care about the rest of the world. He softly nibbled on her lower lip which made her slightly open her mouth. He entered his tongue inside her mouth and as soon as she felt their tongues touching each other, Flora softly moaned which made him pull her more closer.He made sure to press her entire body against his, leaving no inch of distance between their bodies. Flora grabbed his hair when he cupped her nape to deepen
