Tangled Truths 28. Stuck At The Crossroads
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
Tangled Truths 1. What other Mrs Vance?
Flora's POVI blow against the beautiful petals of flowers as they brush against my nose, enticing my brain with their exotic smell while I take slow steps straight into the premises of Vance Enterprises. So many burdening thoughts are in my mind. I am determined to make things work and I am ready to take things the way it's supposed to be. I can't just sit back and watch my life and marriage crumble into a situation that my hand wouldn't be able to reach and adjust. I have to take matters into my own hands now and grab back what is mine and put our relationship back into the way it is supposed to be. Although I know it is the right decision to make, I am not sure if he is willing to accept it. His attitude these past few months is something that my mind and frame cannot bear, and it has placed my entire mood and countenance into a deep, vast darkness that my entire being can no longer contain. Thus, this is leading to the determination raging through my body. I grip tight against
Tangled Truths 2. Extremely Confused
Flora's POV I'm trying to contain and deal with the tension already rising in my chest as I begin to pant heavily, struggling to catch my breath. My mind is in chaos and I cannot bear what I just heard. I feel a little bit confused as I look around the hall, wondering where to head to. I am still standing before the bodyguard who is tapping into his telecom and seems to be talking with someone else at the other end, perhaps another fellow bodyguard. But that is not what is in my mind right now. There is another Mrs Vance. I don't get that sentence and it is making me confused. I look at the frightening bodyguard with a lot of thoughts, wondering if I should ask him more questions but he doesn't seem to be in the mood for me right now. I swallow hard and turn away to leave but then I stop. No, I can't. I need to see Damien right now. I need to get to the bottom of this. What the hell did this guard mean by Mrs. Vance having a meeting with him in his office when I was right here?
Tangled Truths 3. What is he doing here?
Flora's POV "Go home right now, Flora; this is not the time." Those are the only words that Damien speaks immediately as he continues to keep his gaze away from the both of us seemingly undisturbed that Victoria is attempting to humiliate me right now in his presence. I am left shocked beyond measure. I can't bear this. I can't comprehend this. What exactly is going on?" I'm going to need much more than 'go home, and this is not the time,' Damien; you have to explain to me what is going on." I ask, but he is not even saying anything. He remains seated in his chair, his arms folded and his gaze completely far away from where we are standing. "All right, enough of the chitty chats you little twat." Victoria's voice reaches my ears, forcing me to turn my head back to her with shock. She scoffs and shakes her head. "Enough with the fake confidence already. It's not like you have the power to overpower me right now. You are nothing less but the mere ants in my sight and I can decide
Tangled Truths 4. Behind Your Back
Flora's POV It is at this point that the confusion of the entire matter finally descends upon me making me grimace intensely as I stare at the glass cup in my hand. Exactly I really should ask myself that question. Why the hell am I attempting to drink myself to a stupor or because of the bastard I threw my heart away for? I shouldn't be weeping for him. He doesn't even deserve to have one tear drop down from my eyes for him. God, I detest the fact that I have just been played for a fool. I don't even know what to think. I feel extremely infuriated. The fact that none of his co-workers and even his bodyguard had even considered me as Mrs Vance is what is more infuriating. Does this mean that all the while, Victoria Hale has been Mrs. Vance they have known all through our years of marriage? "Earth to Flora," Lucas calls immediately forcing me to look up quickly at him. The warmth in his eyes makes my heart feel so soft as he takes two steps close to me and places both of his han
Tangled Truths 5. Hard To Breathe
Lucas' POV I knew it was all going to get to this. Right from that very faithful day when I was seated back in my office with all the heavy loads of work on my head when that annoying newspaper stepped in, and I looked at it, I knew that this was going to be the result of everything. I had been pained and regretted my delay at that time. I had gone home and cried almost all night weeping and fussing over my bad luck at that piece of news. It showed on her face in the picture that she must have been so happy to join that Union. But I know the man in question and I know the kind of person he is. I knew that things weren't going to be as easy as she would have expected them to be. Damien Vance is not the kind of man a woman with dreams Of a Happy home should get involved with. That is one thing I know, which is the very reason I have always done my best to avoid any such interactions between the both of us. I have even ensured that none of my company members made any
Tangled Truths 6. Never Letting Go
Flora's POV Oh, God, in heaven. I cannot begin to explain what is going on within my system right now. My body is in a chaos. I frown slightly, give myself a very slight nudge, and attempt to at least look away from those mesmerizing, captivating eyes of his. But God it is just so freaking hard. I notice his Adam's apple bubble up and down as he, too, remains seated where is also gazing at me as if wanting to suck the living life out of me with his eyes. I have never known or seen any man in my life that will intrigue me as much as this fellow seated in front of me.He's just too perfect. Okay. I think I should look away now. I am beginning to hyperventilate. But hell I can't. I don't know. I find myself wishing I had been able to get deeper with him all those years back in high school. I wonder how life would have felt presently. Maybe I wouldn't have gotten involved with this bastard lunatic of a man who has placed me in this inconvenient situation. "I wish to take you a

Why is it so hard to stop? Our voices come out in shivers as we continue to romance each other crazily as if we have never been this intimate before. I don't even know what is wrong with me. I don't know why I can't stop. The force that I am feeling between the both of us is so energetic and so powerful. God it is driving me crazy.He then briskly begins to trail his warm lips through my cheek, then to my neck, and then my chest.Fuck. This forces me to moan as I arch my back and then cling tightly to his hair. He trails his tongue down towards my cleavage."Oh God. Ahh." I find myself whispering as he begins to slide his palm

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.

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.

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.
