Flora's POV

Well, I really cannot blame Serena. It is how she is she has always been. So overly protective right from the start. She has never trusted me being with just any man.

I don't know what to say about her, but I kind of have this feeling that she has this decerning spirit to look at a man and see if he is genuine or just some wolves under sheep's clothing to get under my skin or something.

She had warned me from the beginning about Damien since I first met him but I had just been so blinded By Love at that time I decided not to listen to her.

"Look, he's different, okay? I know him very well and I don't think he would have changed after all these years. do you think he's some sort of enemy or what?" I ask but then she looks back to look at Lucas.

I am pitying Lucas right now. The expression on his face is telling me that he doesn't want to let me go. he is not happy about what I'm going through, and he wants to help. I can see the genuine gentleness in them. Why can't Serena see it?

Serena finally rolls her eyes and waves at him.

"okay fine. It's cool okay? I understand your plight, and I know you're concerned about Flora, but don't worry. She is in my care right now, okay? You can head back to wherever you came from. She is not heading back to his house. I'm taking her to my home." she replies and I watch as Lucas frowns slightly as if not believing what she had just said.

"It's all right, Lucas, okay? I'll be fine." I say but he is still hesitant.

" Can't I just like a tag along or something? I just feel I should be there, you know, or..."

" No, you can't be there. You are a stranger who just popped out from nowhere after how many years of not seeing her. You guys can catch up later, but right now, we have very serious, important business to deal with that doesn't concern you. Goodbye Mr Lucas." Serena says quickly and begins to drag me quickly towards the vehicle.

Oh, Lord. I think I need to give her a very good old discussion about her attitude sometimes towards strangers or people she doesn't know about.

That right there was just so harsh and I don't think I would have been able to bear it if I was the one in Lucas'shoes.

I watch as he slowly turns around with his eyes still on me walking away as soon as I and Serena had gotten into the vehicle.

"I will text you," he says from the movement of his lips and it makes me frown lightly.

Am I the one who just imagined that?

How is that supposed to happen? I never gave him my phone number. I wonder to myself but Serena's voice jolts me back into the car.

"I think I need to give you a serious, good, long lesson about the way you relate to strangers."

I roll my eyes.

" He is not a stranger, Serena, okay?"

"How are you sure about that? The long time between high School up to this moment is enough for someone to change. Don't you get it? Want to know what I think? He can't be trusted. Isn't it a little too suspicious that he just popped up from nowhere right at the moment you were going through distress??"

I scoff and roll my eyes before glancing out the window as soon as she has moved out of the premises now driving through the highway.

Sometimes her overprotectiveness infuriates me. It's not like it is bad. It is actually good, and I like it in some way, but then, at times, it is just too much.

My mind is not at peace with the way she responded to Lucas and I can feel the hurt he must have probably felt.

I sigh before thinking quickly of a way to divert the topic.

"So what is it that you have found that you wanted to tell me?" I ask quickly and then she chuckles.

"Oh about that. I'm going to discuss it with you the moment we get to my home."

I then remember something and fold my arms ."

" Good, I just remembered something. I appreciate the fact that you are right about everything you have told me but I can still remember vividly telling you that you shouldn't investigate this matter behind my back."

She chuckles with a nervous sort of expression on her face as I glance at her through the rearview mirror.

"Yeah, I know that. I'm so sorry. I couldn't help it, but at least it turned out that I was right, wasn't it? You shouldn't be angry about that."

I roll my eyes. " yeah, right, whatever."

"Don't worry, we are going to discuss everything in detail by the time we get home. I really should have been so strict with you when you were about to get married to Damien. You, my dear, have made an enormous mistake."

" And how can I be sure that this is not one of your manipulations and tricks to make me believe you?" I ask and watch as she frowns.

"Well, his actions or whatever he has done to hurt you today should be enough proof, isn't it? I might not know what he has done to you, but I can tell that things are beginning to manifest slowly," she says, and this makes me sigh, defeated.

Yep, she got me.

"Yeah. You are right ."

She chuckles when I scoff and look out the window once again.

"That bastard ."

"Don't worry dear. I promise you that it's all going to be sorted out." she says but then my attention is no longer in the vehicle.

Everything and I can think of is about one man. one particular man that made my senses hot and rekindled some strange sweet delicious feelings i never expected to feel all these years back in that restroom.

Lucas.

God knows it is so going to be very hard to forget about him.

The vibration in my bag catches my attention I quickly turn around and take out my phone to see Damian's name on the caller ID.

Why the hell is he calling me now all of a sudden? I thought he didn't care.

I pick up the call and place the phone on my ear but I did not say anything.

"Where the fuck are you? I need you back at home right now!!"

  • Tangled Truths   10. Not Prepared To Meet

    Flora's POV "Where the fuck are you? I need you to come back home right now. We have things to discuss." his voice is Sharp and harsh on the phone and it makes me frown slightly."Who is that?" Serena's voice calls my attention from the driver's seat as I look up at her. "It's Damien." I mouth towards her and watch as her expression immediately turns cold. She quickly swerves the vehicle to the side of the road and parks immediately without another word stepping harshly against the brakes. Then she turns around and snatches the phone from my hand without even asking for my permission."Do you want to know one thing stupid? You are a fool. A bastardly idiot and the most incredible dumbest individual I have ever seen. I don't even know what to say to you right now, but one thing I know for sure is that you deserve to be dead!!" she says and ends the call immediately before returning it to me, placing it gently on my hand.I watch her dumbfounded, still seated in my seat with the ph

  • Tangled Truths   11. In Your Imagination

    Flora's POV She is smirking at me as she takes hold of the snack and tears it open. Then she turns it upside down allowing all the contents to spill against the flow directly in front of me. "Whoops you have messed up this aisle on Flora. I think you should bend down and pick up the crumbs with your mouth," she says, and this forces me to clench my fists tight, trying to control the rage in my body. Is she now stalking me or something? I'm not going to allow her to get to me. I quickly turn around and begin to search for another aisle where I can get what I'm looking for. But then she quickly walks ahead of me and stands in front of me leaning against a counter and pushing me back with her hand against my chest. "No no. I never asked you to leave. You are not giving me the right to work out on me when I'm talking to you. Don't you understand that?" she requests, and this forces me to look away, still struggling to control the rage building deep down within me. I have never met

  • Tangled Truths   12. A Piece Of Work

    Lucas' POV I know I made a very good and wise decision to follow her here. I don't like what I am looking at right now and it is pissing me the hell of. I clench my fists tight to try to control the boiling rage that is raging deep down in my chest. Who the fuck is that lady and why the hell has she been following her everywhere? From the look and expression on Flora's face, I can tell that Flora detests her presence. Flora doesn't want to have anything to do with her. It seems like the lady is frustrating her might be a piece of trouble for her. I don't think I can sit back and continue to allow this to happen. I drop the newspaper I have been using to hide my face down on the visitor's seat where I have been sitting down all the while. I get up and adjust my tuxedo trying to look as calm as I can be. I know that Flora would not want to cause an actual scene here, so I know I have to

  • Tangled Truths   13. What Have I Done?

    Flora's POV I don't think I can bear any more of this scene in front of me. Victoria Hale is worse than I imagined she would be, and I can tell that she's only going to make things a lot worse for Lucas and more confusing if he continues to fight for me.I take hold of his hand and begin to drag him away with all the power in my body. "It's alright Lucas. Please just let her be and let's get out of here. I've already gotten what I want to get."That's a lie. I haven't. I just can't stand the scene before me. I observe as he stiffens a little bit. He turns to look at me and stares at my hands."I see nothing in your hands. I want this awful lady to go back and pick up all that she scattered on the ground. She is the one that is going to pay for it."Oh great I even actually forgot about that snacks. "Lucas, please just let it go, okay? I am seriously not in the mood to encounter her p

    Flora's POV "Wait, please just listen to me, okay? I'm sorry." I call but he is still not listening to me as he continues to walk away slowly as if nobody had just spoken to him. Jesus, what the hell is your problem, Flora? Why would you just scream out loud to him like that? I quicken my steps and run ahead of him trying to catch up with his long strides. Within a few minutes, I am standing directly in front of him as I place my hand against his chest, forcing him to stop. "Please I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to shout back at you like that I was just..." " Hey, it's fine, okay? I get it. I shouldn't be a burden in your life because, well, it seems to be going perfectly, so I guess I would just leave." Lord, why the hell does that sentence hurt so much? "I was only trying to help okay? It's not like I was trying to get involved with your life or something else but it seems you don't accept my presence. I don't blame you. That Serena girl must have convinced you about it.

    Flora's POV I am weeping deep down within with a raw want for this man. Fuck I am going insane. I suck against his lower lips forcing out a groan from him.Shit. That sounded so hot.I finally give up fighting and press my lips against his as he slides his palm down my back to the base of my waist. He pulls me closer to himself till I feel his bulge and I gasp against his lips. Fuck!!"That is what you are doing to me." He whispers against my lips and pins me against the wall. He lifts one of my legs and wraps it around his waist, planting endless kisses all over my neck, forcing me to arch my back against the wall, gasping at the tempting sensation of his bulge against my thigh.Fuck. I wish we were in a room!!What the hell did I just think??"What the hell is going on here Flora?" I hear a voice that startles the both of us a few meters away. This forces us to quickly pull away from each other.Then I turn around to see Serena standing directly before us, a few meters away,

  • Tangled Truths   16. Not Something I Am Going To Bear

    Lucas' POV I watch the vehicle quickly drive away from the parking lot of the mini-mart and then sigh calmly to myself, a lot of thoughts ringing endlessly in my brain. Something comes to my mind and this forces me to smile before quickly looking around me and then taking out my phone. I dial a certain particular number and then place the phone against my ears blinking rapidly and watching as the vehicle continues to move before quickly disappearing. Then the phone vibrates and I hear the voice of the other person at the other end. "Hello, boss. You called." the person says and I nibble at my lower lip before taking in the deep breath. " yes, I did. I need you to do something for me." " what can I do for you boss? Anything. You know I am always at your service." he says and this forces me to smile before looking up and gazing at the cloud. " yes, I need your help with something. I need you to help me observe someone and track her and also figure out every single detail about

  • Tangled Truths   17. We Are Not Divorced

    Flora's POV The vehicle finally comes to a quick stop directly in front of the familiar Mansion of Serena as I relax against the window rubbing my fingers along my forehead and trying to relax myself by the experience of the past few minutes. These past few hours have been the most stressful and the most inconvenient I have ever experienced. But I am not about to let that out directly again in front of Serena right now. All I can do is just try my best to be calm and allow things to go away they want to go and then probably listen to what she wants to tell me. Because I can tell she is extremely pissed as hell with me right now from the expression on her face.I don't understand that, though. For the past 30 minutes right now, all through the ride home, this is how she has been. This is definitely about Lucas, and I know it, but I am not about to talk or say anything.Even though it's so shirking for her to be angry about something like that I'm just going to keep quiet and let

  • Tangled Truths   Chapter 108. Annoyance On My Face

    It looks as though she had crashed it or something. She slowly turns her head to look at me with her eyes red and a strange sort of expression on her face.*What the living hell?* I think to myself as I also notice two extra empty bottles a few meters away from her. I slap my palm against my forehead, thinking deeply to myself.Has she been drinking? I wonder as I observe her, quickly moving over to her side as I glance at the broken bottle in front of her with its contents spilled all over the floor."Oh my goodness, Serena, do not make a move so that you don't injure yourself," I say, thinking of a way I can help her get out of this situation. But she raises her hand and points at me with a sort of strange look in her eyes."Don't you come close to me, do you understand? Don't you even think about it," she says, and I raise an eyebrow, observing her intensely."Why?" I ask, but she shakes her head quickly and chuckles with a strange sort of look in her eyes."Everything was going ve

    Later that night...I relax against the bed, admiring her beautiful face as she sleeps soundly.My expression is one of unending smiles as I watch her slumber, thinking to myself about how I got so lucky to have this beautiful masterpiece in my arms.She makes a funny sound and stirs as she tries to adjust herself, moving closer to me, and it makes me shift a little bit to grant her more space so I don't interrupt her beautiful sleep.I shake my head, and she suddenly wraps her arms tightly around me, pulling me closer to herself and making another slight funny sound, as if she doesn't want to let me go. It makes me smile as I shake my head and cuddle her slightly so as not to wake her up.I continue to watch her, rubbing her back slowly and then thinking about her situation as she snuggles closer and buries her face against my chest.*I am really tired of the situation surrounding her right now,* I think to myself. *I just wish everything can just go back to normal so that we can fin

  • Tangled Truths   Chapter 106. Such A Wonderful Sight To See

    What sort of assets does he have to grant him the capability to do such? Well, whatever he is, he must have his personal reasons, and I am not going to even try anything at all to digress deeper into the matter. I'm just going to allow it to die down. I relax against the wall a few meters away from me, gazing at the ceiling and allowing all these endless thoughts to move through my mind. I just wish all this can come to an end, and everything can become completely peaceful. The only thing I want right now is to ensure that Flora gets the freedom that she deserves so that she can go on about her life the way it should be. That Lucas, of a guy, is not someone I can just allow to continue to use her the way he wants.I suddenly remember that we have a lot of work to do in trying to organize all the concrete evidence, and I slowly begin to step away from my hiding place, but then Flora suddenly appears before me, making me gasp. I am taken aback by her sudden appearance. S

    Lucas chuckles and places both of his hands against my shoulders, as if trying to help me calm down. "Take it easy, okay? We are not going to let this pass us by without actually doing anything. We are going to follow along with the normal routine, and that routine is to sit our asses down and think deeply on how we can get back at the idiot. I managed to craft a little plan in my mind last night before I slept. If we come together right now and discuss everything in detail and rub our minds together, we can make everything much faster and follow up with our plan today without actually having to wait for another day. I think we have already gathered a lot more concrete evidence than we need for whatever we need to use to hold against him," Lucas says, and I nod my head quickly in agreement."Yes, yes, it's true. We need to get to this immediately. I seriously cannot wait anymore. I want that bastard out of my life, and I am so done with him," I say, and Lucas smiles. H

  • Tangled Truths   Chapter 104. Strange Piece of News

    Flora's POVI turn against the bed and stretch out my hand to feel his strong, muscular body so I can hold him tightly against myself, but I am disappointed to discover that my hand falls flatly against the bare bed a few meters away from me, and it quickly makes me realize that he is not here. What the hell? I think to myself and groan with frustration, slapping my palm against my forehead when I realize my disappointment. I was actually hoping he was going to be here so that I could hug him so tight and then perhaps tease him and feel his early morning boner. That would have been a very good trump card to use against him this morning so that he would take me once again without any amount of control deep down within him. But I am so disappointed right now, and it makes me begin to wonder where the fuck he went to.I sit up against the bed and exhale deeply, running my fingers through my hair with frustration as I look all around me, beholding the streaks of s

  • Tangled Truths   Chapter 103. Hard-hearted

    Lucas' POVHours later, I finally yawn and stretch on the bed as the early morning tweeting of the birds catches my attention. I rub my fingers lazily against my eyes as I look around me and behold Flora's beautiful body, still curled up tightly in my arms. I take my time to admire her and realize that she has actually turned, probably during the night, and she is now facing me, her beautiful blonde hair draped all over her face in a beautiful, mesmerizing way. It makes me stretch out my hand as I brush a few strands away and place them behind her ears, admiring her every perfection.I chuckle at the beautiful sight of her in my arms, and it makes me shake my head, realizing and thinking about how deep my luck is right now to have this beautiful damsel all to myself. I brush my thumb against her beautiful, soft lips, observing the way her lips slowly expand as though she is smiling, and it begins to make me think that she might actually be awake. I observe he

    He stops for a few minutes, his huge dick still buried inside me, probably giving me a chance to catch my breath as I cry out loud and begin to twist, holding myself tightly again, with the raw pleasure spilling endlessly, without control, out of my body. After about five minutes of crying out loud and screaming my lungs out, revealing just how crazy he is driving me, I finally relax against the bed, panting hard and struggling to catch my breath while he brings his face down towards me and kisses me slowly and sensually, making me gasp as I wrap my arms tightly around his neck, kissing him also sensually, without control.We are both aching and panting so hard right now as he brings one of his hands towards my breast, squeezing it endlessly and slowly moving deeper into me and pulling out in a much more calm way presently. He begins to ride me slowly and soothingly, as if trying to be gentle with me, while I arch my back against the bed, still trying to control the sizzling hot pleas

    "Whatever it is, I don't think we can discuss it right now. She is absolutely lost in this magnificent slumber. Maybe we can discuss it in the daytime," I say, my smile warm.He begins to bring his face closer to mine, but I place my index finger against his lips, pushing him back gently. "Nope, nope, do not do that," I beg. "Please, don't. I am not in a very good state right now, and I might completely lose myself if I allow you to do that. Plus, I am so weak, and I need to get some rest." I quickly explain, observing as he laughs out loud and shakes his head before finally giving in and hugging me tightly."Yeah, it's okay. I understand. I get it," he says, as he begins to trace his fingers against my back, making me suddenly feel extremely hot between my legs. I make a mental note to myself to try everything I can to avoid his touches, probably in the future, or anytime I am feeling this weak. But good Lord knows that I cannot control myself right now as he continues to trace his f

    I behold the terrifying and dark image of Lucas, looking so brooding and so tall, with an unholy darkness clouding all over his head as he stomps towards us. Within the next few minutes, I hear a series of impacts and so many thuds and screams of pain that make me shiver and tremble where I am, closing my eyes tight and leaning against the wall, with my heartbeat racing in my chest.Then, after a few minutes, there is complete, total silence, as though nothing had actually happened. I slowly turn my head to look at Lucas exactly the moment he throws the coat around me, covering me up instantly and wrapping his arms tightly around my waist."Let's get out of here, baby," he says, his voice deep and dark and so extremely terrifying it makes me shiver in his arms. This is actually a part of him I have never experienced or witnessed before, and it makes me look up at him, wondering who the hell this guy is.I slowly turn around to behold the body of the fellow who tried to get himself int
