Tangled Truths 13. What Have I Done?
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.

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.

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

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 can't do that." He says, trying to evade me, but I stand in front of him once again. His attitude right now is beginning to make me feel worried.Serena mentioned a few minutes ago that if he is a criminal on a terrifying evil mission, he might not want to tell me the original address of where we are.Look at him right now trying to evade the question. He doesn't even want to look at me. Could she be right about that? No. I quickly shake my head. I'm not going to believe it just yet.

Flora's POV "Are you serious right now? Are you crazy? What the hell were you thinking? Honestly, I'm having a hard time friend to understand you these days, Flora. Why the hell will you do that? Do you have any idea what he is now? Do you freaking know where he lives? What if he is taking you to a morgue or something? What, then, are you going to do about that?" All I can do is endlessly continue to roll my eyes, and she spits out layers upon layers of instructions and persecutions and scolds into my ears. I expected this. It is nothing new, so the least I can do is to just sit back and allow her to speak her mind without uttering anything. Then, at the end of the day, I'm going to tell her a very big fat sorry. Honestly. I not going to lie. I am intensely tired of it all but it is something I have gotten used to over the years. I can't fight it anymore.

Tangled Truths 29. Get Our Price
AT DAMIEN'S MANSION... He stumbles recklessly into the large mansion and slams the door loudly allowing the sound to reverberate and tremble the walls of the building. The anger and annoyance are evident in his countenance as he flings his suitcase against one of the sofas a few meters away from him and slumps against it, leaning his hand against his elbows as he buries his face into his palms. "I am guessing that things didn't go as well as you planned, right?" A sharp commanding female voice jolts him from his resting position as he quickly turns his head to look behind him and see a delicate figure standing at the bottom of the magnificent marble staircase a few meters away. He sighs and looks away from her before getting up from the sofa. "As you can see yes." He says sharply and quickly begins to take off his suit. "I trusted you to do better. She isn't supposed to be that hard to capture; you know that, right? You know how important she is to us. Why would you make a flim

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

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.
Tangled Truths 26. No One Around To See Us
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

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
Tangled Truths 24. Never Going To Let Her Go Away
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.
