Tangled Truths 73. Worship Me
He looks at me for a brief while, toying with his lips in a sexy manner that slowly begins to round up my internal organs. I tighten my fists, struggling with my very best to regain my composure as I close my eyes and grind my teeth together. "Okay, you really need to stop that right now. We are discussing an important issue, and you need to be serious.""Stop what? I'm not doing anything, okay? I'm just thinking of how I'm going to explain everything to you because it might not actually be something that you will understand deeply since it was what I felt and...""Just say it, no matter how it is, and make it make sense to me so that I don't give you a blow that would dislocate your nose right now."He looks taken aback by what I just said as he looks at me with wide eyes, but then he shakes his head and chuckles slightly, gazing at the ground. "All right then, I guess I'm just going to put it plainly to you. I am honestly an

After a very long while, we finally dress up and then slowly begin to step out of the bedroom, holding hands together and gazing at each other endlessly, unable to look away from each other's eyes. I don't even know what to say, and I have no words to express the strong sort of emotion that is moving through my body as I continue to look into the eyes of the man that has strangely taken possession over my soul, making it so hard for me to just look away for once and...Jesus, I don't even know what I am doing anymore as I look at him and bite hard against my bottom lip before shyly looking away from his magnificent golden-brown eyes."I need to admit I have never been so happy the way I feel right now, Flora," he says, making me quickly detach my hand away from his as I point toward the staircase."Yeah, right. Fun is over. It's time for us to get back into business mode, so can you head down so we can discuss the next phase of the plan

Lucas' POVI quickly stumble out of that familiar building with so much anger clouding my senses as I make my way towards my waiting red Lamborghini situated at the far end of the other side of the road in Serena's estate.I step into the vehicle with annoyance and slam the door shut, with so much frustration clouding my senses as I rub my fingers against my forehead, thinking about my current situation with the both of them.This is just the most crazy thing I have ever experienced in my life, and I don't know what I can say or do anymore about it.I'm still having a hard time trying to understand why that Serena lady detests me so much. For heaven's sake, I have never seen her anywhere, and I've never heard about her from anywhere before. Have we probably by chance crossed paths in the past, and maybe I must have done something to get her offended?I don't even know what to think, and I'm having a hard time trying to process t

Lucas' POV With pure, extreme fear and worry coursing through my veins, I find myself headed straight towards my company's entrance in my vehicle, driving at a speed I have never reached in my entire existence. I park in the parking lot and kill the ignition before taking a deep breath, glancing at my image in the rearview mirror as I brush my fingers through my hair, attempting to keep myself calm while trying to look as presentable as I usually do. But my mind is seriously not at rest right now, and I am having a hard time trying to understand the situation presently in my grasp. It is completely confusing, and I can't even begin to picture it. "How the hell can these sorts of accusations just come out of nowhere?" I think to myself. "Everyone knows me—this is an entertainment business industry, not some stock investment or global funding enterprise."

I raise an eyebrow, looking at him with wide eyes as I swiftly turn to look at my secretary. She shrugs and shakes her head, looking completely confused about the entire matter, and then I finally turn my head to look back at the bastard standing in front of me. I raise up my hands and close my eyes, completely bewildered. "Okay, I really need to admit, but this is the most disturbing kind of news I have had in my entire fucking life," I say. "What the hell do you mean by this rubbish? I haven't even been around engaging in business activities for the past two weeks. I have been on my own, attending to my personal life. It's my employees that have been the ones in charge here, and by the way, in case you have forgotten, this is not a charity investment industry—this is an entertainment industry. So why the hell would I be invested or interested in trying to accumulate such amount of money from the government, for that matter?" The man ch

My secretary gasps beside me, and I look at her swiftly before directing my focus back at them.I shake my head and sigh. "So what the hell happened? Because of a little mischief, you all just want to withdraw. because of what?" They look at each other nervously before shaking their heads."Don't take this too personally, Mr. Arden, okay? Just take it as a very sincere, honest action of ours in trying to protect what belongs to us so it doesn't get affected because of someone we are connected to, if you understand what I mean," another of them says, and I am forced to look at him with a raised eyebrow, glaring at him intensely.He quickly looks down, avoiding my gaze, and I shake my head, rubbing my fingers across my forehead."You guys should calm down and just relax a little bit. You can't just conclude immediately and begin to make stupid drastic actions like this. I am looking into the matter, and I promise you that it's go

"I have said my mind and I have stated my point. If you know what's good for you, keep away from her, and this is your fucking final warning, or else the next experience that is coming for you might actually force you to take your life," he says and swiftly ends the call without waiting for me to say anything else.I grind hard against my teeth as I close my eyes and return my phone back into my pocket."The fucking bastard."Within the next few minutes, I stumble straight through the elevator into my office and drop my phone ruthlessly against the table without actually caring that it might actually get faulty or something. I can't even begin to explain my present situation right now. I feel extremely infuriated, I feel completely angry—I want to bring the entire heaven down right now.What exactly the fuck is his problem and why the hell is he just so relentless and so persistent with this incessant pursuit of my life?I fucki

I take it out quickly and glance at the annoying number embedded on the screen.I pick it up instantly and place the phone against my ear."Do you know you are making a very dangerous choice right now?" I say quickly, and he chuckles, laughing out loud relentlessly at the other end of the call."Well, I must say that you, on the other hand, you don't know exactly what you are up against and what you are going through, so I'm just going to state it all out plainly to you in case you are too fucking stupid to know what you are dealing with. You have no power over me, Lucas. I don't care whatsoever level you are in the industry or how far you have gotten to achieve any fucking prosperity—you seriously and really do not have any power over me. I have single control of every one of your assets in my hands right now, and with just a single snap of the finger, it's all gone—poof!—like the wind. All you just need to do is to grant me one little wish."

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
