Dashing out of that room, Flora ran towards that hall from where those gunshots were coming from and when she reached there, her soul froze by seeing that dreadful scenario in front of her eyes. Dozens of men had surrounded her father whose one hand was bleeding badly. He was standing there, completely defenceless against those dozens of men who were fully armed. All of their guns and weapons were pointing straight at her father and due to that reason, her father's men had to drop all their weapons and surrender in order to make sure of the safety of their boss’s life. One of those men was standing behind her father and the barrel of his gun was pressed against the back of her father's head. All of that numbed her heart but it filled her head with rage….pure rage. “Leave him….. right now,” Flora screamed out of her lungs, making every single head turn in her direction. Storming towards her father, she stood in front of him and that was where she noticed that the man who was pressin
Slowly turning around, Flora looked at him and found his blank gaze already on her. That blankness in his eyes told her that it was the final call for her that now she needed to make that decision in her life whether to go with her life or to follow her love.Slowly unwrapping her palm around her father's hand, she fully turned around to face him. Everyone saw her walking towards him.Flora stood up in front of him and for a while, she continued to gaze into his silverish grey eyes but then she looked down at his palm which was holding her wrist and that was where her glossy eyes fell on her own hand and she saw her father's blood which was smeared all over her hand and that made her aware what she had been doing all this time and what she should have done.Balling her fist, she snatched her wrist from his hold and then snapped her head upward at him. He noticed that hatred flamed in her watery eyes for him.“For my papa, I can let go of anyone and anything, even my own self,” she spa
“And that blast was planned by Armando's own father and my husband ... .Bernard Zelvasco,” Shock was an understatement, Easton was completely frozen till his core. He felt like a sudden storm of a blazing fire crashed down over him with no mercy after he heard those words which came out of his aunt Aubrey's mouth. “Mr Alfanso has nothing to do with that blast and the murder of Armando because it was all planned by Bernard to kill you, Easton,” Aubrey uttered. Tears were vigorously rolling down from her eyes. Every single person who was present inside that room turned extremely startled and perplexed. They could not believe what they had been hearing. Turning her head around, Flora looked at her father and he looked completely shocked and stunned just as her and the rest of the other people present around her. Aubrey's revelation shook everyone entirely, especially Easton. Slowly and slowly, his feet made their way towards Aubrey which glossed up her eyes even more. Without taking
“And this was the real reason why I killed Bernard that night, Easton,” Aubrey uttered, startling Flora even more. Did Aubrey kill her own husband?“Almost one year ago, one night I heard Bernard talking to someone that he was the one who had planned that blast to kill Easton but it ended up taking his own son's life and when I confronted him regarding this, he tried to kill me but fortunately, I grabbed a knife on time and to save myself, I stabbed that knife in his chest,” Aubrey's gaze got washed with more tears as she recalled that night when she heard her husband talking to someone on phone that he had planned that blast to kill Easton and when she questioned him regarding this, Bernard tried to kill her by choking her neck as he didn't want his dark secret to get revealed in front of anyone but luckily, Aubrey's hand reach a nearby table where she found a knife and in order to save herself, she pierced that knife deep inside Bernard’s chest and it resulted in his death.Flora wa
“Ms. Alfanso might be pregnant,” the doctor said to both the men who had turned into ice in their places. They both couldn't believe what their ears had been hearing, especially Riccardo. His daughter was pregnant? And when he thought about how this might have happened or in precise because of whom this might have happened, Riccardo's jaw clenched.He snapped his head in his direction and found his eyes were on his daughter. He was looking at Flora with a visibly startled reaction on his face which made Riccardo grit his teeth. How fucking dared he do this to his daughter? The father inside Riccardo was burning in pure rage. At that moment, he wanted to kill him for going nearer to his daughter to such an extent. “Ms. Alfanso,” the doctor's voice took Riccardo out of his evil thoughts of killing that man brutally because of whom his daughter had conceived. Tilting his head, he looked down at Flora and found her slowly opening her eyes. Riccardo felt relieved, seeing his child waking
“How is Ora?” Hearing that voice, Riccardo immediately understood who that person was on the other side of the call which made him sigh softly. Trailing his eyes forward, Riccardo looked towards the bed and saw Flora laying beside her mother.“You already know how she must be by now,” he answered, looking at his daughter and wife. “Her test reports came out to be negative this evening. She has a minor infection in her stomach,” Riccardo told him because somehow he felt the necessity of telling him regarding her reports and test results. As soon as he uttered those words, Riccardo heard the other side of the call going silent for a while before he heard him exhaling heavily which was quite justifiable according to him.“Can I come there to meet her?” Riccardo heard him asking him. His tone held a clear pleading and somewhat a sheer amount of desperation.“I don't know whether she would want to meet you or not right now but if you want, you can come here and try to talk to her,” Ricc
“Momma,” Flora couldn't believe what her eyes had been showing her. Was it real? Her mother was awake and she was looking at her? Flora felt like she was watching a dream with her open eyes. A dream which she was desperately wanting and needing to become reality and it finally happened. Her momma was finally awake and was talking to her.Tearing up like a little child, Flora ran towards her mother and hugged her tightly.“Momma,” Flora bursted out crying, bringing more tears in her mother's eyes. Aniya embraced her back in her arms securely. Tears started rolling down from her own eyes whereas Flora continued to cry her heart out in her mother's arms. Words were not enough to describe what she had been feeling at that moment. She was dying to get embraced in the arms of her mother. She was turning lifeless without her momma. From the second she had returned here, Flora's soul was aching in pain because she was needing to break in the arms of her mother because that was her safest plac
“Happy Birthday to our Ora,” those words got whispered in her ear which made Flora slowly unlatch her eyes. She woke up from her sleep and found her entire family in front of her who were looking down at her with beautiful and warm smiles on their faces. First she couldn't comprehend anything because she didn't pay attention to those words which got whispered in her ears.She got up and sat on the bed. Flora was still confused as to what was happening here. Tilting her head, she looked at the wall clock and it was perfect 12’ o'clock in the morning. She rubbed her eyes to clear her slightly blurry vision and then looked at her entire family again with a visibly confused look on her face until she saw that chocolate cake on her father's hand and all those gift boxes her entire family was holding and then she finally paid attention to the words which got whispered in her ears. It was her birthday. Her eyes widened.“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR QUEEN, FLORA….” Her entire family wished her with
“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
