Flora's POV

"Are you serious about not wanting to talk to me about this, Flora?" Serena's voice is blaring loudly from the other side of the door as I lean against it, trying everything within my power to keep it from opening. I gaze up at the ceiling and shut my eyes tight with exasperation.

Fuck Damian for saying this out loud within her hearing. Now I'm going to have an extremely lonely battle in trying to make her forget about this.

Serena has always been the kind to be extremely inquisitive about things, especially when it comes to matters concerning me, even though it is none of her fucking business.

The fact that she just wants to know about it is what is getting me extremely annoyed right now as I quickly turn around and open the door to see her standing in front of me, giving me a questioning gaze.

"Is it every single living thing about my life you must know about?" I ask as I attempt to walk past her, but she stands in

  • Tangled Truths   69. Have You Been Fucking Stalking Me?

    I continue to scrutinize him deeply the moment he says that, and this makes me fold my arms intensely as I observe him and tap against my jaw, thinking if it will be a wise idea to believe him. I turn to look at Serena, but then I realize that now is not such a good time to even listen to any advice from her since Lucas has already shut her up just a few minutes ago.It's now that I actually realize that most of the times I have already gotten used to waiting for her approval, and it makes me bite hard against my bottom lip to see that she is not even looking at us presently, probably still angered by the way Lucas spoke to her a few minutes ago. She is gazing elsewhere, tapping her foot restlessly against the floor."She is not the owner of your life, Flora, and please, for once, just own yourself and make the decision with your own mind. You don't have to depend on her all the time, and she's not going to determine your entire life for you."

  • Tangled Truths   70. Doesn't Deserve Your Love

    "Have you been fucking stalking me all my life?" I look at him as he shakes his head quickly, his lip trembling with a certain fright I have never seen in his eyes for a very long time.He quickly gets up from the sofa and attempts to take hold of my hand, perhaps trying to pacify me. "No, seriously, it's not what you think, Flora. I need you to listen to me. Please give me a chance to explain." I move quickly away from him, looking at him, unable to control the rage that is moving through my mind. "Honestly, I don't know what to think about you right now," I say as I raise both of my hands with exasperation and look at him. "I don't even think I understand and know you presently. Why? Why have you been following me all my life? Just what is the use? What were you hoping to accomplish? Do you realize and understand just how stupid and freakish that sounds? You have literally been following me for..." I exasperatedly move awa

    CRASH!!!!!!The loud sound of heavy ceramics shattering against the hard floor forces Victoria to quickly step down from the shower in the bedroom of the opulent mansion, a towel wrapped around her, revealing her lithe and alluring figure.She stops with a jolt, realizing the source of the commotion: Damian, pacing furiously throughout the expansive living room, his face contorted in a mask of rage."Fucking bitch!! Why the hell is it so hard for you to believe me for once?" he screams at the top of his lungs, kicking another ceramic ornament across the room.Victoria calls out, her voice sharp and commanding, "Damian!"He halts at the sound of her voice and slowly turns, his eyes narrowing into an intense frown. Then, he coughs, walking towards a nearby sofa and slumping against it, his foot tapping a relentless rhythm against the floor.She observes him from the staircase for a brief moment, a mischievous smile playin

I am just taking this as my little break as I write briskly against the drawing pad in my hand, sketching something that is flashing in my mind and just using it to pass away time. But I am still unable to focus because the only thing plaguing my mind endlessly right now is Lucas, and I am not calm at all.I am extremely furious. I don't know what to think right now, and I don't even know what I'm doing as I just begin to scratch the pencil relentlessly against the drawing pad, my vision and getting blurry probably due to the amount of tears tha

  • Tangled Truths   1. What other Mrs Vance?

    Flora's POVI blow against the beautiful petals of flowers as they brush against my nose, enticing my brain with their exotic smell while I take slow steps straight into the premises of Vance Enterprises. So many burdening thoughts are in my mind. I am determined to make things work and I am ready to take things the way it's supposed to be. I can't just sit back and watch my life and marriage crumble into a situation that my hand wouldn't be able to reach and adjust. I have to take matters into my own hands now and grab back what is mine and put our relationship back into the way it is supposed to be. Although I know it is the right decision to make, I am not sure if he is willing to accept it. His attitude these past few months is something that my mind and frame cannot bear, and it has placed my entire mood and countenance into a deep, vast darkness that my entire being can no longer contain. Thus, this is leading to the determination raging through my body. I grip tight against

  • Tangled Truths   2. Extremely Confused

    Flora's POV I'm trying to contain and deal with the tension already rising in my chest as I begin to pant heavily, struggling to catch my breath. My mind is in chaos and I cannot bear what I just heard. I feel a little bit confused as I look around the hall, wondering where to head to. I am still standing before the bodyguard who is tapping into his telecom and seems to be talking with someone else at the other end, perhaps another fellow bodyguard. But that is not what is in my mind right now. There is another Mrs Vance. I don't get that sentence and it is making me confused. I look at the frightening bodyguard with a lot of thoughts, wondering if I should ask him more questions but he doesn't seem to be in the mood for me right now. I swallow hard and turn away to leave but then I stop. No, I can't. I need to see Damien right now. I need to get to the bottom of this. What the hell did this guard mean by Mrs. Vance having a meeting with him in his office when I was right here?

    Flora's POV "Go home right now, Flora; this is not the time." Those are the only words that Damien speaks immediately as he continues to keep his gaze away from the both of us seemingly undisturbed that Victoria is attempting to humiliate me right now in his presence. I am left shocked beyond measure. I can't bear this. I can't comprehend this. What exactly is going on?" I'm going to need much more than 'go home, and this is not the time,' Damien; you have to explain to me what is going on." I ask, but he is not even saying anything. He remains seated in his chair, his arms folded and his gaze completely far away from where we are standing. "All right, enough of the chitty chats you little twat." Victoria's voice reaches my ears, forcing me to turn my head back to her with shock. She scoffs and shakes her head. "Enough with the fake confidence already. It's not like you have the power to overpower me right now. You are nothing less but the mere ants in my sight and I can decide

    Flora's POV It is at this point that the confusion of the entire matter finally descends upon me making me grimace intensely as I stare at the glass cup in my hand. Exactly I really should ask myself that question. Why the hell am I attempting to drink myself to a stupor or because of the bastard I threw my heart away for? I shouldn't be weeping for him. He doesn't even deserve to have one tear drop down from my eyes for him. God, I detest the fact that I have just been played for a fool. I don't even know what to think. I feel extremely infuriated. The fact that none of his co-workers and even his bodyguard had even considered me as Mrs Vance is what is more infuriating. Does this mean that all the while, Victoria Hale has been Mrs. Vance they have known all through our years of marriage? "Earth to Flora," Lucas calls immediately forcing me to look up quickly at him. The warmth in his eyes makes my heart feel so soft as he takes two steps close to me and places both of his han

Can you please open your mouth clearly and tell me exactly what you want me to do for you?"Good heavens, I fucking want to kill him right now.I swallow hard as I glare at him and clench my fist tight, giving him a warning look, but he is not backing down anytime soon."Now that I have gotten your attention and you can see the severity of the situation, maybe this is a good time to reaffirm my request right now and see if you are still going to be so reluctant to listen to me."I grind my teeth together as he moves closer and smiles wickedly at me.Serena, who is seated beside me, looks confused as her gaze continues to move from me back to Damien and back

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

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?
