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
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
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

Flora's POV I grind my teeth together with extreme cold fury while I continue to pace up and down all over the sitting room with my mind finding it hard to comprehend everything that Serena has just explained to me.This is one of the all-time biggest secrets of the year and hearing about it right now has actually set all the last remaining pieces of the puzzle I have been trying to work on all this while. It is now that I have actually figured out and realize why things have actually been the way they have been. This is just crazy. So he has actually been fucking using me all this while? I am nothing but a mere pawn in his hands that he can just turn around and do as a scapegoat whenever he wants to escape all his evil perpetuations. So he is the master mind behind the dark dealings, that nearly ended the lives of 80% of inhabitants in the local part of this city, which the government have been trying to battle for years??Jesus lord, that particular fact is really driving me cr
Lucas' POVI remain at a spot on the chair examining the devious devil standing directly in front of me laying against my table and fumbling with a few documents examining them as though he wants to attend to them or something. "So now that we have come to an agreement that you are presently under my care and completely powerless without any means to go against me I think we can settle down as men and talk one on one like we should so we can discuss the next phase of the plan and see how things are really going to go this time." I grind my teeth together with fury clenching my fist tight as I think of a way to evade this situation. Good lord he's really damn smart then I anticipated. I knew it wasn't going to be that hard and it is just going to be a piece of cake for him to evade the trap I placed a few minutes ago but I never expected that he was actually going to escape it this fast and then come back with a massive super fast retaliation plan that has kept me trapped I can't e
Flora's POV " Honestly I don't really see any good reason why you should be bothering yourself this much about that guy. I know that you guys must have actually been classmates back in your high school days but Jesus is the lord wake up and live your life in the real world flora okay? you can't just spark up a single connection just meeting him about how many days ago. It just doesn't work that way."I furrow my eyebrows and slowly tilt my head to glance at Serena seated beside me talking as always like the little mother that she is trying to control my actions once again and it makes me exhale trying my best to be cool as much as I can. I really do not want to talk about this right now but the way she is so persistent about it is already getting on my nerves. It's not like I had actually done anything to warrant this discussion. I was only bothered about the fact that I'm feeling extremely guilty right now for treating Lucas the way I did back at that estate. I mean I really have
Lucas' POV All things done and dusted I am extremely happy that that Damian of a fellow has been put back in his place and for a very considerable amount of time he won't be able to pester or disturb Flora anytime soon but I know that it is not just going to be the end. The misley little bastard like I have observed all this while is a very stubborn one that can be so infuriating and relentless when it comes to drastic dealings such as these. So I don't think I'm going to let my guard down even if for a few minutes. I stepped into the revolving door that leads to the threshold of my company while adjusting my tuxedo as the buttler standing at the door approaches me with a very calm smile on his face. "Good morning Mr Arden. Pleasure seeing you again anything I would like to do for you?" I roll my eyes at him and calmly wave my hand towards him with a fake plastic smile on my face. Yeah right. These door men who seem to try everything within their power to gain favors. They real
Flora's POV I bite hard against my bottom lip before tilting my head slowly to look at Serena. She also turns her head to look at me and I realize that I am not actually the only one feeling this enraging shock that is hitting straight into my bones right now. It's not like it's actually a bad thing that Lucas actually intervened and came to help us. In fact I am actually glad he did and I really want to walk up to him right now and hold him so tight to show him how much I appreciate his show up presently. But I did not just expect that he will suddenly come up after us and do this immediately after the way I treated him back at his estate.I find myself watching him as he stays at a position at the entrance of the building with his arms at his back. he gestures at the officer taking Damien away from us. Damien stops directly in front of him and scoffs before smirking at him. "I honestly do not see what you gain by doing this but you do know that this is just a waste of time righ
Flora's POVOkay so this is one of the most craziest things and the most freakish thing I have ever seen or experienced.I am seriously having a hard time trying to figure out why he is extremely this desperate to just get to me and achieve whatever stupid aim he has in his mind. I am left standing at a spot gazing at him with extremely wide eyes due to the shock passing through my body.Why is he insanely this desperate about getting to me this way?I watch him as he gazes at me with a malicious smile on his face adjusting his tuxedo and straightening the flower in his hands before slowly closing the door behind him." I am so sorry but I don't think you can get rid of me that easily This is a serious important issue that we need to talk about as the good people that we so do not make this extremely hard for the both of us."His composure presently at the moment is totally frightening as i and serena begin to step backwards examining him intensely in case he tries to do something c
Flora's POV I gulp hard at serena's words as I continue to look at Damian who still looks like a little child trying to persuade his mom to get him something. he begins to step closer and from the expression on his face I can see determination and adamancy. "look, all I just want is for you to come back to me, okay? I have really missed you so much." desperacy is written all over his face as he makes a move Close towards me and attempts to take my hand but Serena pulls me backwards helping me to evade him as he continues to make his way closer and closer towards me. in fact the impression he is given right now is that he desperately wants me back or something and it is just making me feel so worried and confused. if he didn't actually care about me in the first place to go behind my back and take another woman as his wife, then what the living hell does he wants with me? this is just so crazy as hell and I can't contain the rage that is already brewing my mind as I glar
