last update Last Updated: 2024-11-27 17:58:52

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

  • Tangled 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

  • Tangled Truths   42. Waiting For All Along

    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

  • Tangled Truths   43. Stuck Here For A Very Long Time

    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

  • Tangled Truths   44. Mind Your Words

    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 don't think this is worth anything. We are just going to waste our time, and I can assure you that by the time we get halfway to where we are right now, you are going to lose your energy." I find myself telling him, observing the way his hands are trembling vigorously while he tries to keep me against his back, using himself as a sort of lifeboat or something swimming through the vast sea, looking for a place where we can relax for a short while. He chuckles and shakes his head. "This is an ocean flora okay? There is no place to relax and you should have known that by now. Stop giving yourself false hope." He says as he continues to wave his fingers through the vastness of the waters, moving slowly and scanning the entire surroundings for a place. "Do you know what? I think we should take five." I tell him immediately and point towards a large-looking plank slowly making its way to what was due to the massive waves of the water. "We can take that. I hope it will be

  • Tangled Truths   46. About To Get To Ride

    Flora's POV The tension increases rapidly, making both of us forget that we are still in the middle of a sea, completely stuck in the middle of nowhere with no one around to help us. I don't even know why we don't suddenly care about this anymore and it kind of makes me feel intrigued. The seawater brushing against our skin is intensifying the spark I am feeling, drawing me closer and closer towards him. I gasp with Desire as he trails his fingers along my waist and then pulls me closer all the more towards himself forcing me to feel his bulge below his belt. Oh, good lord. I lost control of my sanity and then moved my legs, wrapping them tightly around his waist in that position. "Oh fuck Flora..." He whispers against my lips and begins to plan so many endless trails of kisses all over my cheeks and then towards my neck. The fact that we are both completely soaked is intensifying all the want in my body. I can feel every fabric and structure of his muscularly toned body and

    Lucas' POV Well, I know that she must be presently looking at me as though I'm the daftest person she has ever come across but well as I mentioned earlier she hasn't known me all these years to know what skills and abilities I have managed to acquire due to the fact that I know what the world is and I had to prepare to ensure that my stand is amongst to those who are the ones that can't be bullied for this regarded. I am about to make my way out of our hiding place after signaling for her to remain where she is and keep quiet, but then she takes hold of my hand. "You seriously do not have to do this. It could be a little bit dangerous. They have the better advantage. They have weapons on a speed boat, but you are armless, and you are stuck up in the water." She whisperers calmly and the worry in her features is unmistakable. Wow, I never knew she cared for me this much. I smirk at her and move closer to her before connecting my lips with hers for a very brief moment. Then I pull

  • Tangled Truths   48. Perverted Seduction

    Flora's POV I honestly do not like the sound of what I am hearing but then it's not like there is anything I can do. I have already promised him that I'm going to maintain my stay inside here till he is done and then he's going to get back to me. "And probably make love to you in this hiding place." My stupid, silly mind says to me, and it forces me to slap my cheeks hard. Jeez, stop fucking thinking about these perverted thoughts Flora. I tried to caution myself and quickly shook my head the moment I noticed that the endless shooting and struggle around had already subsided. I blink rapidly, wondering if it is going to be a great idea to step out and see if everything is okay, but then I remember that I have to stay with him and wait for him to get back. Uurrgh. This is the worst thing I hate about suspense. It just keeps me bound without any way to escape from a situation that feels as if my heart is being tugged in different directions. I hear whispers and discussions betwee

  • 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

    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

    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.

  • 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
