Tangled Truths 37. Blow Off The Steam
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.

Lucas' POV I stumble over to the bar to notice the endless dents of bullet marks all grazing the wall everywhere and it makes me clench my fist tight.Yep, this is going to need some Express intensive renovation that I will have to organize later, but now is not the time for that.I sigh and then shake my head before bending down to pick up one of the beer bottles that has already been smashed and littered all over the floor. I pick up my head and glance at the shattered bottle in my hand before rolling my eyes and then tossing the bottle elsewhere. "I apologize for this mess." I quickly turn around to see her standing directly in front of me with a frightened and worried expression on her face but I am so not ready to deal with her right now. Her case is another time. "I'm going to need some time to myself. I have a lot of things to work on." I say immediately and notice the slight frown that graces her features but I am not ready to think about that. Maybe she should sit back

Lucas' POV I find myself scaling through all different sections of the boat with worry in my mind and a heavy heart only to discover that her presence is nowhere to be found. I'm seriously having a hard time trying to grasp the possibility of that. How the hell did she just walk away and then vanish within the blink of an eye never to be found again in every section I go to? It is not like the boat is that large for her to just disappear and become difficult to locate. What the hell is going on? The worry in my mind is so excessive I can't even think or process any other thing else. After taking my time to try and relax and sort out the plans I want to make I have been having a very hard time focusing after realizing that I might have been probably a little bit too harsh to her. I shouldn't have shouted like that as her and I deeply regret it. If only I could just figure out where she went because my mind is killing me with excessive guilt. "What the hell are you Flora?" I find

Flora's POV To be honest, the anger I am feeling right now is just... I honestly have no words for it but I am not about to stress my mind in trying to explain it. I just know one thing and that thing is I don't want to see him right now. But why the hell is he fucking following me wherever I go? The moment I notice he is stepping close to me again, I quickly get up from the chair I'm sitting down and attempt to step out of the basement, but then he quickly takes hold of my hand, stopping him midway and spinning me to look at him instantly. "Let me go!!" I told him with all the anger in my veins as I struggled to break free from his grip, but it became tighter than anything I had ever felt, and I knew that he was more than determined, to keep me with him no matter what I did."Please just let me go look. As I have already said, I don't want to see you, please." " Are you seriously acting this annoyed or because of what I said? " he asks that particular frustrating question that
Terakhir Diperbarui : 2024-11-27Tangled Truths 41. Is She Fucking Crazy?
Lucas' POV Jesus lord!!! She did not just do that!!!! The rage in my mind escalates to a much more terrifying level as I quickly sprint towards the balcony she was previously standing and climb over the rails as I quickly dive head first into the ocean trying to keep up with her body that is now on descending fast below with the speed of lightning. This is a very large sea and it is a very huge possibility that humans are going to have a very hard time floating to the surface with the particular location where we are. We are in the fucking middle of the large sea, for heaven's sake, and why the hell is she not thinking about that??!!?? Good Lord, I have never been so furious in my life. I ensure that I am not breathing as I have managed together enough oxygen outside before delving into the water. Then I locate her body descending quickly and swim towards her, wrapping my arms tightly around her waist as I slowly and quickly turn around, making my way back up. I swim around

Lucas' POV She is so freaking adamant and relentless as she continues to struggle with my hand holding her tight determined to break free from me and head over to the basement. I don't even know what to say or what to do right now. I have never felt so weak and exhausted in My Life by just one particular single individual before. This is one of the most stressful situations I never thought for imagined myself to be going through. I can't bear it, and I have a hard time trying to grasp the reason for her sudden, intense,e, annoying attitude as though she might be willing to punch me in the face or something."Look, I am done with you, Lucas, okay, so please just let me go, I beg you. Turn the boat around. I'm going to call Serena right now and she's going to come and pick me up..." She hasn't finished that sentence when her phone begins to ring in her hand and I watch her as he looks at it. "See??!! She is already freaking calling me, and she's trying to locate where I am, so ple

Flora's POV I can feel the intense energy in the air. I can feel the want and the desire that is already tearing at my muscles for the man who is presently standing before me holding me tightly to himself while bringing my face closer to his. Electricity shoots through my body the moment I feel his soft, warm breath against my face, and this makes me shut my eyes,s, getting ready to succumb to the moment and allow that passionate lip embrace to take perfect control over me. But then, before any of that can happen, we are interrupted by a very sharp,p, powerful rustling sound as though someone is attempting to scratch a sharp substance against the edge of the boat. Lucas also stops and looks a little bit taken aback as he froze intensely, looking all around him, probably trying to analyze what is going on. It sounded so loud and so weird like the sound of...I don't know. It was so powerful that anyone could hear it, even about a mile away from the boat, talk less of what was al

Her laughter continues to ring relentlessly all over the large sitting room while she crosses her legs like the evil queen that she is, shaking her head mysteriously with an evil smirk on her face. Her partner in evil is seated directly beside her, swirling a glass cup of wine in his hand as he places the cup against his mouth and drinks the liquid, also gazing at the large screen in front of the both of them, smiling wickedly. "Honestly I need to admit. I underestimated this young lad's prowess. He is far more intelligent than I imagine." The stunning, beautiful, but wicked-looking lady says, and Damien chuckles before dropping the glass cup against the table beside his chair. "Yeah, well, you are right about that. I wish I had seen this from the beginning. It wouldn't have been so hard this way. I shouldn't have allowed her to leave the office at the time she caught us. I guess that is when she probably stumbled into him and now he is trying to make this a living hell for

Tangled Truths Chapter 126: The Disconnection
FLORA'S POVThis news is a nightmare. It's going to make everything worse for me, and I absolutely despise it. The rage boiling within me is almost unbearable. If I could get my hands on Victoria right now, I swear I would tear her apart piece by piece. How could she? How could she stoop this low just to sabotage us?The weight of the scandal presses down on my chest, suffocating me. I know this will be impossible to ignore. It has derailed our plan and diverted our focus from what truly matters—bringing down Damien. Instead of staying on track, we are now forced to fight off this web of lies, and I hate it with every fiber of my being.I glance at Lucas. He looks composed, but I know better. I see the tension in his shoulders, the slight twitch in his jaw, the flicker of unease in his usually confident eyes. He's nervous, though he's trying to mask it. I can tell his mind is racing, strategizing, scrambling to find a way out of this mess. He's always been the one to take charge, to f
Tangled Truths Chapter 125: Victoria's Evil Scheme
LUCAS' POVI try to keep my focus on the plan we're putting together, but my attention keeps drifting toward Richard. I still don't trust him, no matter how convincingly he claims to be on our side. His words are sharp and precise, his demeanor calculated. He says he wants Damien to pay, that he wants justice, but something about him seems off. His presence feels too convenient, his willingness too eager. I can't shake the feeling that there's more to him than he's letting on.Across the table, Serena and Flora stand by, closely observing everything as we strategize. I catch the exhausted look on Serena's face—she's tired of all of this. The weight of everything we've been through is pressing down on her. She just wants it to be over. I meet her gaze with a reassuring look, silently promising that we're close to the end. That this nightmare is almost over."We've tracked his last known location to the marina district," one officer says, sliding a map across the table. "But he's been c
Tangled Truths Chapter 124. Ally Or Foe
Lucas' POVThis ends today.I am not letting Damian escape again.I push myself to the absolute limit, my muscles burning as I chase after him with everything I have. But goddamn, he's fast—faster than I ever expected. His movements are fluid, almost unnatural, like he's spent his entire life training for a moment like this. He weaves through the crowded space with ease, slipping through obstacles like a shadow bending and twisting with the light.For years, I thought I knew who Damian was. A criminal, a manipulator, a strategist. But this—this sheer physicality, this level of agility—I never knew he had it in him.An officer to my right takes off after him, trying to cut off his path. Another, standing a few feet away, sees the chase and tosses a weapon toward me. Instinct takes over. I catch it in midair, adjusting my grip without breaking stride. The cool weight of the gun in my hand grounds me, sharpens my focus.I push harder.The moment I burst out of the building, my feet skid
Tangled Truths Chapter 123. Damien's Defiance
Lucas' POVThe tension in the room is suffocating as we search every inch of Damien's office, determined to find the escape route he must have used. My eyes dart from the large wooden desk to the bookshelves lining the walls, scanning for any sign of a hidden passage. Drawers are flung open, chairs overturned, papers scattered across the floor as everyone works in frantic synchronization.Then, one of the officers calls out, his voice sharp and urgent."Over here!"We immediately scramble toward him, our boots thudding against the floor in unison. He stands beside the elevator, his hand pressed against the panel. His face is grim, his expression tight with focus."What is it?" I demand, my pulse hammering in anticipation.Instead of answering, he presses a seemingly insignificant button on the control panel. A faint click echoes in the silence, followed by a mechanical whirring sound. Slowly, a hidden access point reveals itself—an opening at the top of the elevator, leading upward."
Tangled Truths Chapter 122. Ultimate Comeback
Lucas' POVBy the time morning arrives, the first thing I see is Flora's peaceful face resting against the pillow beside me. Her features are soft, relaxed, untouched by the chaos of our reality. A few strands of her wavy blonde hair have fallen across her cheek, and I resist the urge to brush them away, not wanting to disturb the quiet serenity of this moment.She looks so at ease, so completely unburdened in sleep, and I find myself mesmerized by the gentle rise and fall of her chest. The warmth of her body lingers against mine, a silent reminder of everything that transpired between us last night.I think back to the way she unraveled me, how she shattered every last piece of my self-control with a single touch, a single whispered plea. She left me breathless, consumed, utterly lost in her.A slow smile tugs at my lips. I love her. I have loved her for longer than I can even admit to myself, and now, with her curled up in my arms, with her body wrapped around mine like she belongs
Tangled Truths Chapter 121. Deflating Her Disbelief
Lucas' POVI am already done for.Flora and Serena stand before me, their gazes sharp enough to slice through every carefully crafted lie I have ever told. Their eyes burn with suspicion, their bodies rigid with unrelenting determination. The air between us is thick with tension, pressing down on me like a suffocating weight.We have barely escaped Damien's ambush minutes ago—barely survived a situation that could have ended in bloodshed. And yet, instead of relief, instead of gratitude, all their focus has turned to me.I should have expected this.I want to tell them they should be thanking me, not interrogating me. If it weren't for my intervention, we might not even be standing here right now. But I know that line of reasoning won't fly. Not with them. Not with Flora.Because she wants the truth.And that is the one thing I cannot give her.The mysterious person who has helped me—who has secretly arranged for the armed men to intervene—needs to remain in the shadows. Exposing him
Tangled Truths Chapter 120. How Did You Know?
Flora's POVI stand there, completely dumbstruck, my breath catching in my throat. The entire situation has flipped in our favor so fast I can barely process it. Just moments ago, Damien held the upper hand, his grip like an iron shackle around me, his dominance undeniable. But now? Now, he is the one trapped.His hold on me loosens instantly as armed men flood the room, their weapons locked on him with deadly precision. Their presence shifts the air, thickening it with tension. The metallic click of safety switches being disengaged sends a clear message—there is no escape.Damien's jaw tenses, his mind undoubtedly racing for a way out. For a split second, I can see it—the battle within him. Fight or surrender? Run or resist? But the odds are impossible. The realization dawns in his darkened eyes, a flicker of recognition before he lets out a slow, measured breath and makes his choice.With a controlled movement, he drops his gun. The weapon clatters against the polished floor, the so
Tangled Truths Chapter 119. A Surprising Twist
Flora's POVI keep glancing at Lucas, trying to read his expression. He isn't moving, isn't reacting—just standing there, staring at Damien with that dangerous smirk, as if he is cooking something up in his mind.My nerves are shot, my body tense. I flick my gaze to Serena. She looks like she is two seconds away from lunging at Damien and punching him in the face. But we all know that would be a terrible idea.Damien's gun remains trained on Lucas, his expression laced with frustration. "I don't understand," he says, shaking his head. "Why are you so interested in her? What's the history between you two that makes you willing to throw your life away?"We aren't about to give him the backstory—that Lucas and I were high school classmates, that this connection between us runs deeper than anything Damien could comprehend.The only thing that matters is that I cannot go with him.But he doesn't care. His grip on my wrist tightens, and he yanks me toward the bedroom door, still keeping his
Tangled Truths Chapter 118. I Won't Come Back
Flora's POVThe fury in Lucas's eyes is unmistakable.A storm brews behind his gaze, dark and untamed, like a predator sizing up its prey. Every muscle in his body is locked in place, coiled tight with restrained violence. His fists are clenched at his sides, but he doesn't move—not yet. Instead, he stands perfectly still, watching Damien with an icy, unshakable focus.Damien's smirk widens, as if he enjoys the power he holds in this moment. His fingers flex around the gun in his hand, the metal gleaming under the dim light. His stance is relaxed—too relaxed. Like he truly believes he's already won."Come here, Flora. Now. Or I put a bullet in him," Damien threatens, his voice a low, menacing growl.A cold wave of terror crashes over me.My body refuses to move. My legs feel like they're rooted to the floor, my breath caught somewhere between panic and disbelief.This isn't happening. This can't be happening.I glance at Lucas, desperately searching his face for some kind of reassuran
