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
Last Updated : 2024-10-17Tangled 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?
Last Updated : 2024-10-17Tangled Truths 3. What is he doing 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
Last Updated : 2024-10-19Tangled Truths 4. Behind Your Back
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
Last Updated : 2024-11-03Tangled Truths 5. Hard To Breathe
Lucas' POV I knew it was all going to get to this. Right from that very faithful day when I was seated back in my office with all the heavy loads of work on my head when that annoying newspaper stepped in, and I looked at it, I knew that this was going to be the result of everything. I had been pained and regretted my delay at that time. I had gone home and cried almost all night weeping and fussing over my bad luck at that piece of news. It showed on her face in the picture that she must have been so happy to join that Union. But I know the man in question and I know the kind of person he is. I knew that things weren't going to be as easy as she would have expected them to be. Damien Vance is not the kind of man a woman with dreams Of a Happy home should get involved with. That is one thing I know, which is the very reason I have always done my best to avoid any such interactions between the both of us. I have even ensured that none of my company members made any
Last Updated : 2024-11-04Tangled Truths 6. Never Letting Go
Flora's POV Oh, God, in heaven. I cannot begin to explain what is going on within my system right now. My body is in a chaos. I frown slightly, give myself a very slight nudge, and attempt to at least look away from those mesmerizing, captivating eyes of his. But God it is just so freaking hard. I notice his Adam's apple bubble up and down as he, too, remains seated where is also gazing at me as if wanting to suck the living life out of me with his eyes. I have never known or seen any man in my life that will intrigue me as much as this fellow seated in front of me.He's just too perfect. Okay. I think I should look away now. I am beginning to hyperventilate. But hell I can't. I don't know. I find myself wishing I had been able to get deeper with him all those years back in high school. I wonder how life would have felt presently. Maybe I wouldn't have gotten involved with this bastard lunatic of a man who has placed me in this inconvenient situation. "I wish to take you a
Last Updated : 2024-11-05Tangled Truths 7. Blinded By Her Anger
Flora's POV Goddess. Why the hell is this just so freaking hard to stop. I wonder to myself as I wrap my arms tight around his neck, kissing him relentlessly as he gropes my ass and squeezes me tight, pulling me closer to himself.I can feel his budge rubbing relentlessly against my thighs forcing me to groan as I cling tightly against his hair.Great Lord. Why is it so hard to stop? Our voices come out in shivers as we continue to romance each other crazily as if we have never been this intimate before. I don't even know what is wrong with me. I don't know why I can't stop. The force that I am feeling between the both of us is so energetic and so powerful. God it is driving me crazy.He then briskly begins to trail his warm lips through my cheek, then to my neck, and then my chest.Fuck. This forces me to moan as I arch my back and then cling tightly to his hair. He trails his tongue down towards my cleavage."Oh God. Ahh." I find myself whispering as he begins to slide his palm
Last Updated : 2024-11-06Tangled Truths 8. What The Hell Did I Do To Her?
Lucas' POV Oh, good heavens, consider me intrigued.I am left speechless, staring at the feisty-looking, energetic lady standing directly in front of the girl of my dreams with a maddened sort of expression on her face. God knows that with her around I don't think I need to be scared about Flora's safety. She's fierce. She's quick to make decisions. She is so agile, and good heavens, her fists are so strong as hell.I think I lost a tooth or two from that impact.I find myself laughing softly within. Geez it even could force me to stumble backwards. I almost lost my footing.I feel blown away. She is so amazing.I never thought or imagined there would be any woman in this generation with this strong, fierce ability to stand and defend one another with a fight.I chuckle and adjust my tuxedo when I notice the embarrassment on her face. She seems a little bit apologetic right now and regrets her action but I am not about to let it slide.I think I'm going to use it to torment her a

Tangled Truths Chapter 138: The Final Twist
The package arrives on a rainy Tuesday.No return address. No note. Just a small, meticulously wrapped box resting quietly on the mahogany desk inside Lucas Arden’s corner office—a sanctuary of power that overlooks the city he painstakingly rebuilt from the ruins of scandal and deception.Rain slides down the glass in thin, silver streaks. Thunder hums in the background. He stares at the package for a long moment, his expression unreadable, before reaching for the silver letter opener he hasn’t touched in weeks. He slices through the paper with slow precision, a subtle tightness in his jaw.Inside, nestled like a secret in a bed of crisp black tissue, is a book.A hardcover. Matte black jacket. White serif font.The Tangled TruthA NovelHe freezes.The title registers like a whisper in his bones. Familiar. Haunting.His gaze falls to the author’s name printed below the title in small, elegant script: F. H.His heartbeat falters.He sits down slowly, almost mechanically, and opens the
Tangled Truths Chapter 137: A Billionaire’s Legacy in Ashes
The fall is always louder than the rise.Damien Vance’s empire—once a towering monolith of luxury, influence, and power—crumbles in a blaze of disgrace. Headlines scream betrayal. His private jets are impounded. Offshore accounts frozen. International warrants flood in. The once-revered tycoon who dined with diplomats and kings now finds himself dragged through a gauntlet of indictments. The media flocks like vultures, circling his legacy as it burns."The Billionaire Who Built His Castle on Lies" blares across global news networks, each word another nail in the coffin of a reputation meticulously manufactured.Victoria Hale sits at the eye of the storm.No longer wrapped in designer gowns or commanding red carpets, she appears in court cuffed and sallow-faced. The courtroom buzzes like a hive, a theater of judgment packed with cameras and whispers. At the prosecution’s table, Serena sits tall in her tailored navy suit, eyes sharp and voice colder than the marble walls around her.She
Tangled Truths Chapter 136: The Goodbye
The hospital room is quiet now—eerily so.Gone are the rhythmic beeps of machines warning of danger. Gone is the sterile rush of nurses and the chaotic hum of life and death decisions. What remains is a stillness that feels like it’s holding its breath. A moment stretched thin by memory.Lucas sits upright in the hospital bed, a bandage wrapping his ribs, the white cotton stark against his bruised, olive-toned skin. His breath catches every time he shifts, a sharp pull in his side reminding him that pain means survival. That he’s alive.Alive because she saved him.Yet she’s not here.It’s been three days since Damien was dragged into federal custody, cuffed and broken beneath the weight of his own lies. Three days since Richard was paraded before a sea of flashing cameras and stunned reporters. The truth spilled out like blood—raw, unstoppable. Flora’s plan had worked. Her chessboard cleared. But Lucas?He still listens for her voice in every quiet moment.There are no calls. No mess
Tangled Truths Chapter 135: Her Final Move
The sound of sirens fades into the distance, no longer urgent, but lingering like the echo of a dying heartbeat. Red and blue lights strobe across the cracked marble floor of the Ashton estate, casting eerie shadows through broken windows. Officers drag Richard through the front entryway, his designer shirt torn, face bloodied, and wrists bound in steel.His eyes burn with betrayal. Hatred. But Flora stands firm.“Mark my words!” he shouts, twisting against his restraints. “You’ve made enemies you don’t even know exist!”Her expression doesn’t change. “Let them come,” she murmurs, her voice quiet but lethal. Her eyes follow him as he vanishes down the steps, swallowed by the flashing lights.As soon as the door swings shut behind him, she drops to her knees beside Lucas.His blood is all over her now, soaking her hands, smearing across her black pants. His shirt clings to his skin, dyed dark with crimson. His chest rises, shallow but steady. Barely.“Lucas, hey, stay with me,” she whi
Tangled Truths Chapter 134: The Deadly Choice
The sirens scream louder now, flashing lights slicing through the gloom, painting the crumbling estate in hues of red and blue. It should feel like rescue. Like justice. But to Flora, it feels like a final warning.Because the true danger isn’t outside. It’s here, inside these decaying walls. Inside the men she once trusted. The danger pulses through the air like a second heartbeat.Damien moves first. A blur of fury and precision, he launches at Richard without hesitation. His fist connects with Richard’s jaw in a brutal crack, sending the man stumbling into an old sideboard. Wood splinters and glass explodes, littering the floor with jagged debris. Flora screams as the violence erupts inches from her, the sound swallowed by the crashing chaos.Richard recovers with frightening speed. From beneath his coat, he draws a knife—not sleek or tactical, but ugly and vicious, made for tearing flesh, not ending fights cleanly.“You should’ve stayed out of this!” he snarls.Damien’s laugh is a
Tangled Truths Chapter 133: Endgame
The estate is old and forgotten—a crumbling remnant of wealth swallowed by creeping vines and heavy silence. Once opulent, it now stands like a ghost of itself, hollowed out by time and secrets. The kind of place where legacies go to die. The kind of place perfect for a reckoning.Flora stands in the grand, dusty main hall, dressed in black from head to toe. Her figure is still, almost statuesque, beneath the cracked chandelier that sways gently with the wind slipping through fractured windows. The air is cold, but her heartbeat is calm. Deliberate. Her eyes scan the space, sharp and unwavering.This place, she chose with care. Far from the noise of the city. Removed from surveillance. Forgotten by maps. It has blind spots, hidden corners, and dead zones—just like Damien prefers. But this time, it’s not his game. This time, she’s the one holding the pieces.Outside, gravel crunches beneath the weight of expensive tires.He’s here.Damien enters as if he owns the world. As if no ghost,
Tangled Truths Chapter 132: The Fall of Victoria
The news breaks like a thunderclap across the media landscape, exploding across every major outlet and social feed with merciless precision. Headlines blare from every screen, screaming in bold fonts and sensational tones: “Victoria Hale: Mistress of Money Laundering?” and “Damien Vance’s Queenpin Exposed.”Cafes, offices, lobbies, airports—every screen plays the same loops. Glitchy video clips, forensic screenshots, redacted emails bearing her unmistakable signature in looping, elegant scrawl. Secret wire transfers, altered invoices, encrypted files cracked wide open. Each detail surgically exposed. Each thread meticulously traced. The media feasts on it. The public, ravenous, consumes every scandalous bite.In the heart of the city, high above the noise, Victoria Hale watches it all unfold.She stands frozen in her penthouse suite, a glass of champagne trembling in her perfectly manicured hand. The television throws harsh light against her face, and for once, she doesn't glow in it.
Tangled Truths Chapter 131: Dangerous Liaisons
The knock comes late—soft, hesitant, but deliberate. It cuts through the silence like a thread pulled tight, taut with tension.Flora freezes at the terminal, her fingers suspended just above the keyboard. Code flickers across the screen, each blinking character casting fragments of light across her face. Her heart jumps, not from surprise, but from recognition. She knows who it is before the door even creaks open.Lucas steps inside.His presence fills the room like the return of a forgotten melody—familiar, haunting, comforting, and utterly misplaced in this sterile war zone of a tech suite. The air shifts with him, bringing something warmer, something dangerous.Flora rises slowly, spine straightening, jaw clenched tight. “You shouldn’t be here.”His gaze roams the room—bare walls, humming machines, a paper cup with long-cold coffee—but it always circles back to her. “I had to see you.”He closes the door behind him with a gentle click, but the intensity in his expression is anythi
