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
Lucas' POV Jesus lord what the hell came over me right there? I think to myself as we begin to Walk through the waters, slowly making our way towards the speed boat I had managed to capture from that stubborn-headed bodyguard of a fellow. We get to the boat, and I use myself as a support, allowing her to step on my shoulder while I grip the edge of the boat to maintain stability. She stumbles into the boat and suddenly screams forcing me to look at her with shock. But then she covers her mouth quickly looking at me with fear. "I am so sorry. There is a body in the boat." I frown at her words, and it is then that I realize that I forgot to dispose of the body of a chief security guard whom I had blown his brains out a few minutes ago. Oh shit. I guess I should have disposed of his body immediately and cleaned out the mess before bringing her here. But then I was too occupied with so much eagerness to just get back to her and show her that I am not one to be underestimated and I
Flora's POV Following the directions of Lucas's assistant and Serena's guidance, we find ourselves in a secluded part of the city in one of the largest estates known as Viscaria, where Lucas's most secluded secretive family mansion is, and it seems like that must be the most protected area according to him. The situation before us is the kind that tells us that we have to be careful wherever we go because the common enemy is on our tail, and well, that enemy is the one that is going to stop at nothing until he gets what he wants, which is me. God knows that I sincerely do not want to go back into his hands anymore. I am so done with him, and I can't even begin to picture or imagine what my life will be like in his home, even after figuring that he doesn't give a shit about my well-being.It's going to be literal hell on Earth, and I'm not about to go through that, not in my lifetime.We are all standing directly in front of the largest and tallest golden beautiful design gate I hav
Flora's POV My eyes cannot begin to magnify or explain the beauty I am looking at right now. The fact that the evening is already fast descending is not making it easy for me to visualize everything clearly, but then the street lights are already beginning to switch on automatically one after the other to create a more visible environment even as the darkness slowly descends.Lucas walks over to a section of the beautiful road, gazing at the roadside flowers, and I make a move to head over towards in, but someone takes my arm, pulling me back. I turn around to see Serena giving me a hard glare and it makes me raise my eyes with wonder as I observe her. "Is anything wrong?" I asked her immediately, but then she shook her head and took me to another side, far away from Charles, who was still standing before us, looking a little bit nervous, probably of our presence or something, but I don't know. "I still do not get how you are comfortable moving around like this along with someone
Flora's POV It's not like I have not been to the rich part of life before. It's not like I have suffered almost all my life and not experienced what it means to live your life with satisfaction. I have, but I'm not just the kind of person who focuses her mind and attention on the most expensive technology or the latest brand of substances that have special effects that include a way to the human mind. My mind slowly began to drift back to the days when I and Damien lived in peaceful harmony with the love I felt for him, then far more intense due to how he reciprocated and treated me like I was the only female he had ever seen. Those were marvelously perfect good days until probably the queen of Death descended and decided to take perfect control over his brain turning him against me. I heave a sigh of disappointment, leaning my elbows against the edge of the window and using my hand as a support as I continue to look out, admiring the rows of Mansions and skyscrapers as Lucas spe
Flora's POV Lucas goes straight to the point and stands at the center of the large, beautiful city room and then claps his palms together to draw our attention towards himself. "Okay, so we are going to make this quick because there is no time on our side. I need you to take notes, Charles. I know that this is not a business meeting, but it is also an important matter concerning the entire life and well-being of someone whom we care about deeply, so yeah, I think it is a wise decision to take notes." I just roll my eyes and make myself comfortable sitting down on one of the Long, beautiful sofas as I look around me, blinking rapidly to myself. Seriously, I do not understand why he has to make it this official as we are about to go on a business trip or something, but well, it is something he wants to do by himself, so I cannot stop him from doing what he thinks is best. "I know this must be too much on you, Flora and Serena. And well I know you are extremely angry with me right n
Flora's POV "How many times do I have to tell you to stop fucking calling me that?" I find myself saying loudly as I glare hard at him trying to struggle with the intense emotions brewing in my chest. I noticed the confused expression on Serena's face as she observed the both of us with the dramatic climax between us. I quickly begin to think of a way to divert the entire topic so that Lucas will not continue with this and probably create a spark of argument between him and Serena. That is something I don't think I will be able to take since I have noticed the intense tension that continues to evolve between the both of them. Well, I can't say that Lucas hates Serena or doesn't care about her, but I can say that Serena doesn't give two shits about Lucas's well-being and is not comfortable with him at all. I quickly raise my hands, trying to draw both of their attention back to me since I noticed that they are now staring at each other with an intense sort of... I
Flora's POV Serena is barely able to reply to what I just said when Charles immediately steps out of the room and shuts the door quickly behind him drawing our attention towards him. He sighs the moment he gets to us and looks at both of us with a foreign sort of expression on his face. "Well, I am honestly sorry for the inconvenience and for actually drawing you over to this place to create..." he stops in his sentence, and from the expression on his face, I can tell that he must be scared of what he is about to say right now. I raised an eyebrow scrutinizing him deeply before casting a glance at Serena. "speak up now." He shuts his eyes and takes a deep breath. "I am so sorry for the inconvenience, but according to my boss, he has already stated that it appears you both do not want his help, so he has taken his hands away from your case." I raise an eyebrow with shock at what he just said. Wait a minute. Just like that? he didn't even bother to like..., just assi
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. I really want to think with my mind, but my dic
