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

    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.

    Flora's POV Okay, so I did not expect that to happen.I watch him walk away with a deep frown on my face "Lucas!! Get back here! Why should that be a hard thing for you?" I ask as I quickly overtake him and stand in his front obstructing his way. He looks at me and then gazes skyward exhaling deeply. "I'm so sorry, but you need to step out of my way right now, Flora. 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. I will need to get something from him to prove her wrong."Look, I've had a tough day,y, Flo,ra, okay? So please just do yourself a

    Flora's POV "You should learn to caution yourself and watch what you do whenever you try to make silly actions like that. I am a man and you should know that I have needs." He speaks with his voice laced with a seductive potion that captivates me so hard my eyelashes flutter without control.

He chuckles against my lips and then finally manages to pu, ll away slowly rubbing his long, beautiful fingers against my cheeks. "I would have loved to go along with this, but unfortunately, I'm not sure I can do that right now." Disappointment crosses my chest the moment I hear him say that. Why? "But..." "Shhhh." He shuts me up immediately with a smile and then immediately moves away from me adjusting his clothes. Oh, okay, this is real, all confusing right now. Is he really that angry that he can't even find the zeal to at least hold me or kiss

  • Tangled Truths   33. Surpassed Any Fear

    Lucas' POV What the bloody hell is going on right now? I feel so confused. I continue to drag her away with a deep frown on my face as I lead her down the basement of the boat, shutting the door immediately and locking it. I turn to look at her beautiful face and notice the fright already enveloping them. "What the hell is that?" She asks immediately, but then I shake my head, thinking of a quick way to distract her from the trouble. I am not comfortable seeing her like this. I had been hoping that I would continue to see that beautiful, elated smile of hers on her face. But what the hell is all this and who the hell is the bastard that how to ruin my chances of happiness right now? Aaargh. I have never felt so angry in my entire life. I look around the basement of the ship and then scan a very large table wide and big enough to contain her and protect her from whatever might happen later. I walk up to her and place both of my hands against her shoulders, rubbing them sligh

  • Tangled Truths   34. Deal With Me First

    Flora's POV My lips are trembling. My limbs themselves are also trembling. I'm struggling to catch my breath right now as it feels as though a powerful invisible strong Force is sucking up all the entire oxygen in the air. Lucas scrambles towards a place in the slightly dark basement, and within the blink of an eye, he is not where to be found. I look around with fear wondering where the hell he went to as the fear in my chest increases. What the hell is he doing? Why did he choose to disappear like that? I wonder to myself as I look all around me with fear wondering if it will be a very wise idea to call his name. That's going to be bad because it's going to attract the attention of the attackers who are standing directly outside the door presently. I find my place beneath the table where Lucas asked me to hide and slowly attempt to pull down a shutter that looks as though it was erected like a door or something. I don't understand the structure of this table but I can tell

  • Tangled Truths   35. Go Freakish

    Lucas' POV I continue to look at her with disbelief in my eyes. Just what the living bloody heavens is she thinking? Is she thinking that this is some kind of child play or what? I don't understand what is going on in her mind presently. Just what the fucking hell... I continue to look at her with disbelief as she slowly turns around to face Damien who is smirking at her with an evil determination in his eyes. God, I hate him so much, and it is making me so annoyed and frightened and scared at the same time. I don't know what tricks he has up in his sleeve to get her back. I needed to be able to focus so I would know how and what tactic to use to kick him out of this boat once and for all. But it is not going to be easy right now with flora standing directly in between the both of us. It's going to make my attention divided and I am not going to know who to attend to first. This is just so freaking crazy. I'm still having a hard time trying to grasp what she intended to gain

  • Tangled Truths   36. Friendly Warning

    Flora's POV I shake my head with trembling lips as Lucas continues to hold Me against himself still pointing that terrifying weapon against Damien. This is just too crazy. This is the literal description of a suicidal attempt against the person standing before us. I am not going to blame him though. He is only acting like this because he doesn't know what Damien is capable of. The evil atrocities he has the possibility of committing and the maniacal demonic thoughts he has in his mind for people that he intensely hates. From the look in his eyes, I can tell that he despises Lucas with every fabric of his being and must have already been thinking of endless ways to probably sniff off his life instantly. I turn to look at Lucas, trying to see if I can get his attention to stop what he is doing, but he is not even looking at me. He seems pretty determined to kick him off the boat. "I am serious about this Damien. If you do not leave this boat I'm going to fucking blow your brains

    Lucas' POV I watch as the stupid dumb bastard finally lifts both of his hands as if surrendering or something but I am not going to easily fall for his parlor tricks just yet. He smiles as he shakes his head and slowly begins to step out of the basement. " Okay okay. It's all right please don't shoot me. There is no cause for alarm. As you wish, I'm going to step out of the boat, and I'm not going to attack you anymore or disturb your peace. "" Carry your filthy bodyguards along with you. " I say sharply and watch as he claps his hands. The bodyguards, who had been lying down on the ground all the while due to the intense pain I Inflicted on them, begin to get up slowly, still gripping their aching bodies as they, one by one, slowly begin to step out of the basement. He thinks I am a fool. He doesn't know that I have been in this game for a very long time and I know how tricky bastards like him operate. I know when they are at their weakest and when they are at their strongest.

    I smell his breath as I shake my head quickly and try my best to evade him."Hey, it's fine, sir, okay? I didn't actually come here to have anything to do with this place. My friend is actually here, and I am just looking for her and nothing else, but I don't think she's around, so I'm just going to leave. Thank you so much for your care, though," I say and try to avoid him, but he stops in front of me once again, making it clearly evident that he is so not going to let me go if someone doesn't intervene for me right now.*Oh crap, now I regret actually separating from Lucas,* I think to myself as my heart begins to palpitate and race extremely fast in my chest. I slowly look up at the fellow.He is gazing down and smiling at me right now, and the smile is so terrifying and so dark and so dangerous-looking it makes me suddenly begin to hyperventilate as I step backwards, thinking of a possible way to escape from this dangerous-looking, traumatic situation."No, no, I don't think so,"

    I really do not want to leave her alone in a wild place such as this, but with the way she is gazing up at me right now, I feel like I might actually have no choice, and she is actually right about it. But how the hell am I going to keep my focus and attention on her so we can just get this over with, and I won't be able to let her out of my sight?I won't be comfortable if she is completely far away without me being there to help her. I can't let her loose in a place like this that is filled with so many prime eyes of dangerous black wolves ready to pounce on the nearest victim they can find who is looking so innocent and doesn't fit into this place.Flora fits the perfect description of this kind of victim, and the entire air in this place is not making me comfortable. But I slowly let go of her hand, watching her as she swiftly walks away from me, looking everywhere and trying to figure out about her friend.I continue to watch her, following her steps as I notice someone who looks

    I sigh and plant another soft kiss against her forehead, still holding her tightly against myself. "Don't worry, it's all going to be fine, okay? We're going to find her. I don't really know what made her get so infuriated to the extent of running out like that, but I don't think she might have actually gone too far," I say, and then she smiles before glancing at her phone again."Maybe I just have to keep trying," she says and taps Serena's number once again.We wait and wait for approximately another three to four minutes, and yet again, Serena doesn't pick up.*Where the hell could she have gone to?* I wonder to myself, frowning intensely as I quickly turn my head to look at Flora."I don't think she has my original number," I say to myself. I quickly take out my phone. "Let me call her instead. She might just pick up if she sees that it's an unknown number," I say, and Flora quickly nods her head.I type briskly against my phone and dial Serena's number with my own original number

    "Hey, what's going on here?"I hear that particular sweet, soft voice that usually gives me so much joy, hitting my ears from behind. I swiftly turn around to see Flora standing at the foot of the staircase in her nightgown. I raise an eyebrow in confusion.I really do not understand this girl right now. I thought she said she was really, really tired and needed to rest. Why the hell is she awake? I wonder, and she brushes her fingers against her neck, looking a bit flustered about that fact as she shakes her head quickly."Oh, yeah, I'm so sorry about that. It's just that, well, I kind of was asleep until I heard some shouting coming from upstairs, so it just made me curious," she says. It's at that instant that I remember that it was actually Serena's shout that woke her up.Bloody hell, I think to myself as I quickly look around the entirely large living room, glancing at the documents scattered on the table while brushing my fingers through my hair with frustration. Now, how the h

    "Why, Serena?" I ask once again, and she stops what she is doing, looking infuriated as she drops the pen against the table rather harshly."Mr. Arden, you are interrupting my work," she says and swiftly turns her head to look at me. "You really want to know why?" she asks, and I raise an eyebrow, observing her intensely as I wait for her reply. "Because I fucking hate you. I have never found anything particularly interesting or good about you directly from the beginning, and one thing I know for sure with every billionaire around this world like you is that they are totally unclean, and no matter how good they try to pretend that they are, they will always have a dirty, dark side deep down within them just waiting for the perfect time to emerge. So yeah, when I say that I think you are not a good fit for my friend, I know what I'm saying. It's not like I'm trying to take control over her life; I'm just trying to be a very good person to give her what is best for her."At this point i

    Okay, I don't think I can continue this way, I wonder to myself as I finally relax with my elbows against my knees. "Okay, I really want to get something straight and clear right now, and I need you to just be honest with me completely. Can you please just tell me what the hell I have ever done to you in this life to make you detest me this much?" I ask, and she doesn't stop what she is doing. She continues to write against the paper, ignoring me completely, and it makes me almost get extremely angry as I tighten my fist into a tight ball. Get a grip of yourself, Lucas, get a grip of yourself, Lucas. Don't worry, it's not going to last long."I am talking to you, Serena," I say, and she finally stops, closing her eyes and tilting her head up as though I am probably getting her frustrated."You are really distracting me from my work right now, Mr. Arden," she says, and I exhale before rubbing my fingers against my forehead."Please, can you tell me how I have offended you to make you h

    Oh, great, she is actually back, and just like the previous time, she never bothered to inform any of us about her arrival, even though Flora is probably asleep. I exhale and slowly continue to descend down the staircase, thinking if it would be a wise idea to reveal myself to her. Maybe not. I don't want to disturb her, and I don't want to get on her bad side because I really hate it whenever she keeps on acting as though I am literally the most annoying individual in the world to her right now, every single damn time. But then, at the same time, I am curious to know why the hell she hates me so much. So, should I talk to her, or should I just let it go? I wonder to myself, thinking deeply and observing her intensely as she continues to write down something briskly against the paper in front of her. But then, after a few minutes, she drops the pen again and stretches her hands, yawning slightly. Then she swiftly turns her head, and our eyes finally come in contact. She looks at me f

    I smile and take each one of them, arranging them neatly in a pile a few meters at the foot of the bed. Then I wrap the towel around my waist and look around, feeling completely jobless when I suddenly glance at my phone.Then I remember the call I received earlier today from that mysterious individual who said he was with me and he could totally help me with anything I need him for. It makes me glance relentlessly at my phone for a short while, wondering if it will be a wise idea to call his number right now and probably have a deep discussion with him because I am still finding it hard to process everything.What did he mean when he kept on saying I was helping him, and he is seeing my good work? What exactly am I even doing to make him have this motivation to even help me in the first place? I can tell that whatever authority is holding him must be immensely great because everything was just totally reversed within the snap of a finger, as though it meant nothing to him, and with t

    I slowly lose control of myself and begin to think with my dick, neglecting my head as I wrap my lips around her nipples and begin to suck her slowly and sensually, forcing her to arch her back again to the bed as she lifts one of her legs and wraps it around my waist. My erect dick slowly brushes against her sex in the process, and she gasps, gripping tightly against me and holding my head tightly against her breasts."Oh fuck, Lucas, please," she whispers and continues to go all crazy on me, moving her waist against me as if requesting for me to insert my dick into her.Okay, I really need to think rationally about this. If we do this once again, then there is no way in hell she will be able to have strength by the time she wakes up tomorrow morning. The good Lord knows I want to explore this and continue probably fucking her throughout the entire night, but I'm also trying to help her, but she is not making this easy for me right now.
