Flora's POV

"Where the fuck are you? I need you to come back home right now. We have things to discuss." his voice is Sharp and harsh on the phone and it makes me frown slightly.

"Who is that?" Serena's voice calls my attention from the driver's seat as I look up at her.

"It's Damien." I mouth towards her and watch as her expression immediately turns cold.

She quickly swerves the vehicle to the side of the road and parks immediately without another word stepping harshly against the brakes.

Then she turns around and snatches the phone from my hand without even asking for my permission.

"Do you want to know one thing stupid? You are a fool. A bastardly idiot and the most incredible dumbest individual I have ever seen. I don't even know what to say to you right now, but one thing I know for sure is that you deserve to be dead!!" she says and ends the call immediately before returning it to me, placing it gently on my hand.

I watch her dumbfounded, still seated in my seat with the ph

    Flora's POV She is smirking at me as she takes hold of the snack and tears it open. Then she turns it upside down allowing all the contents to spill against the flow directly in front of me. "Whoops you have messed up this aisle on Flora. I think you should bend down and pick up the crumbs with your mouth," she says, and this forces me to clench my fists tight, trying to control the rage in my body. Is she now stalking me or something? I'm not going to allow her to get to me. I quickly turn around and begin to search for another aisle where I can get what I'm looking for. But then she quickly walks ahead of me and stands in front of me leaning against a counter and pushing me back with her hand against my chest. "No no. I never asked you to leave. You are not giving me the right to work out on me when I'm talking to you. Don't you understand that?" she requests, and this forces me to look away, still struggling to control the rage building deep down within me. I have never met

    Lucas' POV I know I made a very good and wise decision to follow her here. I don't like what I am looking at right now and it is pissing me the hell of. I clench my fists tight to try to control the boiling rage that is raging deep down in my chest. Who the fuck is that lady and why the hell has she been following her everywhere? From the look and expression on Flora's face, I can tell that Flora detests her presence. Flora doesn't want to have anything to do with her. It seems like the lady is frustrating her might be a piece of trouble for her. I don't think I can sit back and continue to allow this to happen. I drop the newspaper I have been using to hide my face down on the visitor's seat where I have been sitting down all the while. I get up and adjust my tuxedo trying to look as calm as I can be. I know that Flora would not want to cause an actual scene here, so I know I have to

    Flora's POV I don't think I can bear any more of this scene in front of me. Victoria Hale is worse than I imagined she would be, and I can tell that she's only going to make things a lot worse for Lucas and more confusing if he continues to fight for me.I take hold of his hand and begin to drag him away with all the power in my body. "It's alright Lucas. Please just let her be and let's get out of here. I've already gotten what I want to get."That's a lie. I haven't. I just can't stand the scene before me. I observe as he stiffens a little bit. He turns to look at me and stares at my hands."I see nothing in your hands. I want this awful lady to go back and pick up all that she scattered on the ground. She is the one that is going to pay for it."Oh great I even actually forgot about that snacks. "Lucas, please just let it go, okay? I am seriously not in the mood to encounter her p

    Flora's POV "Wait, please just listen to me, okay? I'm sorry." I call but he is still not listening to me as he continues to walk away slowly as if nobody had just spoken to him. Jesus, what the hell is your problem, Flora? Why would you just scream out loud to him like that? I quicken my steps and run ahead of him trying to catch up with his long strides. Within a few minutes, I am standing directly in front of him as I place my hand against his chest, forcing him to stop. "Please I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to shout back at you like that I was just..." " Hey, it's fine, okay? I get it. I shouldn't be a burden in your life because, well, it seems to be going perfectly, so I guess I would just leave." Lord, why the hell does that sentence hurt so much? "I was only trying to help okay? It's not like I was trying to get involved with your life or something else but it seems you don't accept my presence. I don't blame you. That Serena girl must have convinced you about it.

    Flora's POV I am weeping deep down within with a raw want for this man. Fuck I am going insane. I suck against his lower lips forcing out a groan from him.Shit. That sounded so hot.I finally give up fighting and press my lips against his as he slides his palm down my back to the base of my waist. He pulls me closer to himself till I feel his bulge and I gasp against his lips. Fuck!!"That is what you are doing to me." He whispers against my lips and pins me against the wall. He lifts one of my legs and wraps it around his waist, planting endless kisses all over my neck, forcing me to arch my back against the wall, gasping at the tempting sensation of his bulge against my thigh.Fuck. I wish we were in a room!!What the hell did I just think??"What the hell is going on here Flora?" I hear a voice that startles the both of us a few meters away. This forces us to quickly pull away from each other.Then I turn around to see Serena standing directly before us, a few meters away,

    Lucas' POV I watch the vehicle quickly drive away from the parking lot of the mini-mart and then sigh calmly to myself, a lot of thoughts ringing endlessly in my brain. Something comes to my mind and this forces me to smile before quickly looking around me and then taking out my phone. I dial a certain particular number and then place the phone against my ears blinking rapidly and watching as the vehicle continues to move before quickly disappearing. Then the phone vibrates and I hear the voice of the other person at the other end. "Hello, boss. You called." the person says and I nibble at my lower lip before taking in the deep breath. " yes, I did. I need you to do something for me." " what can I do for you boss? Anything. You know I am always at your service." he says and this forces me to smile before looking up and gazing at the cloud. " yes, I need your help with something. I need you to help me observe someone and track her and also figure out every single detail about

  • Tangled Truths   17. We Are Not Divorced

    Flora's POV The vehicle finally comes to a quick stop directly in front of the familiar Mansion of Serena as I relax against the window rubbing my fingers along my forehead and trying to relax myself by the experience of the past few minutes. These past few hours have been the most stressful and the most inconvenient I have ever experienced. But I am not about to let that out directly again in front of Serena right now. All I can do is just try my best to be calm and allow things to go away they want to go and then probably listen to what she wants to tell me. Because I can tell she is extremely pissed as hell with me right now from the expression on her face.I don't understand that, though. For the past 30 minutes right now, all through the ride home, this is how she has been. This is definitely about Lucas, and I know it, but I am not about to talk or say anything.Even though it's so shirking for her to be angry about something like that I'm just going to keep quiet and let

    Flora's POV "You are the one to get off your fucking high horse Flora because we are not yet divorced. No matter what you do we're still together. You are still my wife and we're legally married. I never broke up with you. So stop being so dumb and get back to the apartment right now. Do not let me get to you because it's not going to be funny even in the slightest. You have the obligation to listen to me when I speak to you and give you orders." I don't know why this forces me to shut my eyes struggling to control the rage boiling deep down within me." you are such an unscrupulous idiot do you know that?" I ask, but the next thing we hear is his evil chuckle coming from the other end of the phone."yeah, right. You can talk whatever you want, but it's still not going to change anything, okay? I just need some time to explain what you saw at the office today."" nonsense!!" Serena screams at her side, but he doesn't reply to her." just ignore your friend Flora. She is deceiving y

I am just taking this as my little break as I write briskly against the drawing pad in my hand, sketching something that is flashing in my mind and just using it to pass away time. But I am still unable to focus because the only thing plaguing my mind endlessly right now is Lucas, and I am not calm at all.I am extremely furious. I don't know what to think right now, and I don't even know what I'm doing as I just begin to scratch the pencil relentlessly against the drawing pad, my vision and getting blurry probably due to the amount of tears tha

    CRASH!!!!!!The loud sound of heavy ceramics shattering against the hard floor forces Victoria to quickly step down from the shower in the bedroom of the opulent mansion, a towel wrapped around her, revealing her lithe and alluring figure.She stops with a jolt, realizing the source of the commotion: Damian, pacing furiously throughout the expansive living room, his face contorted in a mask of rage."Fucking bitch!! Why the hell is it so hard for you to believe me for once?" he screams at the top of his lungs, kicking another ceramic ornament across the room.Victoria calls out, her voice sharp and commanding, "Damian!"He halts at the sound of her voice and slowly turns, his eyes narrowing into an intense frown. Then, he coughs, walking towards a nearby sofa and slumping against it, his foot tapping a relentless rhythm against the floor.She observes him from the staircase for a brief moment, a mischievous smile playin

    "Have you been fucking stalking me all my life?" I look at him as he shakes his head quickly, his lip trembling with a certain fright I have never seen in his eyes for a very long time.He quickly gets up from the sofa and attempts to take hold of my hand, perhaps trying to pacify me. "No, seriously, it's not what you think, Flora. I need you to listen to me. Please give me a chance to explain." I move quickly away from him, looking at him, unable to control the rage that is moving through my mind. "Honestly, I don't know what to think about you right now," I say as I raise both of my hands with exasperation and look at him. "I don't even think I understand and know you presently. Why? Why have you been following me all my life? Just what is the use? What were you hoping to accomplish? Do you realize and understand just how stupid and freakish that sounds? You have literally been following me for..." I exasperatedly move awa

    I continue to scrutinize him deeply the moment he says that, and this makes me fold my arms intensely as I observe him and tap against my jaw, thinking if it will be a wise idea to believe him. I turn to look at Serena, but then I realize that now is not such a good time to even listen to any advice from her since Lucas has already shut her up just a few minutes ago.It's now that I actually realize that most of the times I have already gotten used to waiting for her approval, and it makes me bite hard against my bottom lip to see that she is not even looking at us presently, probably still angered by the way Lucas spoke to her a few minutes ago. She is gazing elsewhere, tapping her foot restlessly against the floor."She is not the owner of your life, Flora, and please, for once, just own yourself and make the decision with your own mind. You don't have to depend on her all the time, and she's not going to determine your entire life for you."

    Flora's POV"Are you serious about not wanting to talk to me about this, Flora?" Serena's voice is blaring loudly from the other side of the door as I lean against it, trying everything within my power to keep it from opening. I gaze up at the ceiling and shut my eyes tight with exasperation.Fuck Damian for saying this out loud within her hearing. Now I'm going to have an extremely lonely battle in trying to make her forget about this.Serena has always been the kind to be extremely inquisitive about things, especially when it comes to matters concerning me, even though it is none of her fucking business.The fact that she just wants to know about it is what is getting me extremely annoyed right now as I quickly turn around and open the door to see her standing in front of me, giving me a questioning gaze."Is it every single living thing about my life you must know about?" I ask as I attempt to walk past her, but she stands in

    Flora's POVI find myself shaking my head briskly, trying to tell him to keep his mouth shut and not let the matter escalate, but he is so damn relentless as he squeezes his face at me and looks behind him, probably trying to pretend as though he cannot hear what I'm saying."I'm having a hard time trying to understand you, Flora. Can you please open your mouth clearly and tell me exactly what you want me to do for you?"Good heavens, I fucking want to kill him right now.I swallow hard as I glare at him and clench my fist tight, giving him a warning look, but he is not backing down anytime soon."Now that I have gotten your attention and you can see the severity of the situation, maybe this is a good time to reaffirm my request right now and see if you are still going to be so reluctant to listen to me."I grind my teeth together as he moves closer and smiles wickedly at me.Serena, who is seated beside me, looks confused as her gaze continues to move from me back to Damien and back

    Flora's POV I still remain at a spot with an uncontrollable intense anger in my system as Damien remains where he is, gazing at me relentlessly, not willing to back down anytime soon away from the door. I'm struggling and trying my hardest to listen to Serena's advice as she continues to pat against my back, trying to plead with me to relax and head back into the room so that we don't make a scene right at the door to her apartment, as a few people in the streets are passing by and gazing with some sort of strange expression on their faces. I shake my head and close my eyes for a few minutes before slowly stepping aside and Damien steps into the room with a wicked sort of smile on his face that makes me just to want to give him a punch that would dislocate his nose. Serena closes the door the moment he had stepped in and then gestures towards the sofa. "Make yourself comfortable, Mr Damien." She says with a fake plastic smile on her face and she watches him walk over tow
