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

She is going through hell.What the hell has he put her up to all this while? She doesn't even have the mindset of freedom from him. She feels tied to him.

    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

    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

  • Tangled Truths   23. Cannot Get Enough Of Him

    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 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 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

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.

    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

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
