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
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
Lucas' POV The expression on her face tells me she did not expect me to say that. This makes me smirk at her as I continue to rile her up. "What's wrong Flora? Gar got your feet? Come on why don't you go ahead and show me the resilient Flora that is ready to evade me and jump into the water?" I continue to tease her with a malicious smile on my face Based on her current expression, I can tell that she is infuriated, and she looks like she must have been stuck at a crossroads. She is a little bit hesitant where she is standing, and it makes me smile. "Just give it up, Flora, okay? Let it go. It's not something so serious, and I do not care about it, so just..." "But it sure sounds serious. I'm sure about that. Why do I have this feeling that you're keeping something from me?" Her words force me to nibble at my lower lip as I gaze down at the ground and then once again divert my eyes back to look up at her face. That soft, smooth, calm face that just... I shut my eyes
Lucas' POV Good Lord her scent is killing me. The only thing I can sense and feel is her majestic, gorgeous, curvy body in my arms and her hypnotizing, sweet, flowery scent wafting up through my nose. Her lips? Good lord they are so captivating. I can't get enough of her. She suddenly pulls away from me looking breathless as she continues to look into my eyes. "This feels so crazy." She suddenly says and it makes me frown with wonder. "What makes you say so?" She chuckles and shakes her head. "Well, I don't know. Because I haven't seen you for years, and I am stumbling into you right now, and then we are already doing this. It just sounds so absurd."I chuckle and shake my head. " Yeah, I get it. I understand. I guess maybe we moved too fast. "She looks at me for a very short period and suddenly busts out laughing. " We moved too fast? Why are you saying it like we already made plans to get married or something? "" Because I already have intentions to get married to you.
Flora's POVI stand at the edge of the boat placing my hand against the handrails and gazing into the ocean while it speeds so slowly at a comfortable pace towards only God knows where.I have done my very best in pressuring Lucas to open up and tell me where we are heading but he keeps telling me it's a surprise. Receiving a surprise is not something I am used to because it leaves me curious and I hate being taken off guard by things I am not expected to see. But there's nothing I can do now. He seems pretty determined, and upon my endless series of disturbances, you refused to tell me what I want to know. So all I can just do is relax here helplessly, staring at the Ocean, which looks so peaceful and so calm with streaks of the sun's rays shining into the water. "Like what you see don't you?" I hear his voice behind me and briskly turn around to look at him.He is not putting on his suit. He has already changed into casual boat wear, which is a pair of white shorts and a red f
Flora's POV Okay so when he mentioned about taking me to his private villa in a far away hidden place where one can locate I never actually imagined a beach. I am currently standing at the shore of the largest beach in LA with a confused expression in my face as I observe the hot sand covering my feet. Okay what the hell is going on here? I wonder to myself as I slowly turn around to observe Lucas taking up some stuffs from the boot of his vehicle. Then another vehicle suddenly packs behind his and a good-looking man steps out of it walking quickly and briskly towards him. I watch as Lucas says a thing or two to the fellow and then the fellow nods his head. From what I can see between their interaction it appears that that might actually be his assistant or something like that. The fellow steps into the vehicle we both used to get to the beach and then I watch another person step out of his previous vehicle from the back seat climbing into the driver seat. Within a few
Lucas' POV Okay, I was seriously not expecting this to happen. This is one of the biggest mesmerizing experiences I can ever describe or state. When the hell did it get to this? What I can explain is that I was on the verge of busting out. I was on the verge of letting out a certain fury that I could not bear because she was sounding as if my presence was immensely irritating to her. The pain at her words was so intense, and I felt as though she was stabbing through my heart with a knife. I couldn't help it so I was at the.... I was just showing her just how infuriated I was about what she was doing. But then I didn't expect this to be her next action. And I am deeply immersed in it right now. I can't fucking stop. Her lips. Geez. they are so mesmerizing. She is the hottest and the most beautiful lady I have ever encountered in my life. I can't even begin to explain how my previous anger dissipated immediately when I felt her lips against mine. I am groaning endlessly a
Flora's POV I can notice and observe the nervousness in his expression. It is making my insight giddy. I struggle to keep back the laughter that is raging deep down within me to burst out. Not just yet. I am not going to let him know that what I am doing is just an easy plot of mine just to make him think that I am angry when I know I am not. But of course, I have no freaking right to be angry. Why should I be? He just fucking saved my life at the time I needed him the most. That is the cutest thing any guy has ever done for me in my entire existence. I'm not even sure Damien would have the guts to do something like that. I just don't know what to say. I don't even know how to express what I feel right now. The only thing raging deep down in my mind is that I am crazy head over heels for the man seated in front of me. I have always loved him from the beginning and I can't deny the fact that the love is still there. The feeling is still strong as ever and I am cravin
Lucas' POV "They are on our tail Lucas!! What are we going to do? They are so relentless they are going to keep coming for me wherever we go!!" Her voice is ringing endlessly in my ears and it forces me to slowly tilt my head to look at her.I can notice beautiful soft lips trembling.I notice those delicate-looking, glittering blue eyes of hers filled with a certain sort of fear that I don't like to see. Seeing her in this state is torturing me. It is doing some crazy things to my mind that I know I might not be able to control anytime soon. I don't like it. I don't like to see her like this but well... what can I say? It is what happens when we are being chased by the very person who wants nothing except to keep her bound to him and ensure her life becomes a total mess. That is what I can tell. If Flora, by mistake, gets into Damien's hands, her life is officially over, and I can't let that happen. Oh, I really can't. I think to myself as I pull against the gear of the vehicle
Flora's POV Okay, I need to understand what the hell is going on here. What the hell is Lucas doing here? " Lucas?" I find myself calling his name out loud as the vibrating sound of the bedroom door becomes louder turn forcing me to turn around and look at the door once again. I notice that the hinges are already beginning to pull away from their positions forcing the very top of the door to move out of its normal standing State. The door is coming down soon in a few minutes and I need to get out of here. Lucas knocks against the window catching my attention once again. "come out!" he shouts out loud and then uses all his energy to push the window open to release a fresh gust of breeze into the bedroom. " come with me right now. I can't help you," he says and this makes me frown. "What?" I ask him with confusion and turn around once again, hearing the vibrating sound of the bedroom door. Christ. the confusion and the trembling in my body is excessive. "come with me rig
Flora's POV Okay, so I did not expect this one to happen. My body is in chaos.I don't know where to look as I dart my attention from the door back to Serena at intervals."Get this door open right now, Flora, or else I'm going to break it down!!" Damien's voice is shouting angrily from right outside the door and I can tell his patient has already been tested. These are the moments when I fear to experience his anger.It is anger is something that can bring down empires or turn down great organizations into nothingness.It is something I have experienced before, and I have told myself that I am not going to encounter this anymore. But what the hell am I to do right now? I don't want to go back home with him. I don't even want to be with him at all one bit. What am I going to do? I think to myself as I look at Serena with worry.She suddenly looks calm, and it makes me squint my eyes at her, wondering what the hell she is thinking."Are you seriously just staring at the door doin
