Chapter 76: Sparks Go Flying (2)

His words hit her like a physical blow. The raw protectiveness in his eyes mirrored the fear she knew must have been etched on her own face during their abduction.A surge of emotion welled up within her. She reached out, her hand trembling slightly, and clasped his arm. The warmth of his touch grounded her, a silent reassurance in the face of her newfound vulnerability."Thank you," she whispered, the words thick with gratitude and unspoken emotions.Damien's lips curved into a small smile. He pulled her closer, his embrace encasing her in a sense of security she'd craved for what felt like an eternity."Sleep, Flora," he murmured against her hair. "We'll talk in the morning."Sleep beckoned her once more, this time deeper, more peaceful. The nightmare was over, and she wasn't alone.When she awoke again, sunlight streamed through the window, painting golden stripes across the bed. Damien was no longer beside her, but the scent of freshly brewed coffee linge

Chapter 76: Sparks Go Flying (3)

”Is that you?" she asked, picking up the picture.Damien strode towards her, his presence filling the space between them. "Yep," he said, a touch of nostalgia in his voice. "College days. We were on a crazy backpacking trip across the Himalayas."Flora studied the picture, then met his gaze. "You look… different.""Younger, probably more reckless," he said, a slight smile tugging at his lips. "Before life… got complicated."Their eyes locked for a moment, a silent conversation passing between them. The weight of the ordeal hung heavy in the air, mingled with a new, unspoken awareness. Flora quickly averted her gaze, placing the picture back on the table."So, movie?" she said, her voice a tad too loud.Damien nodded, moving towards a bookshelf and pulling out two menus. "Takeout first?"The arrival of steaming boxes filled with the aroma of Thai green curry provided a welcome distraction. They settled on the couch, a comfortable distance separating them a

Chapter 77: Confessions in the Afternoon (1)

A shaft of sunlight speared through the window, landing directly on Flora's face. She blinked it away, the remnants of a dream swirling in the back of her mind – a dream filled with strong arms, warm lips, and whispered promises. Reality came flooding back, and a blush crept up her neck as she remembered the events of the previous night.The sheets felt tangled around her, a testament to the passionate encounter they'd shared. Tentatively, she reached for her shoulder, wincing slightly at the pleasant ache that spread through her muscles. A satisfied smile curved her lips. Every sore spot was a delicious reminder of the night she'd spend in Damien's embrace.A soft chuckle rippled beside her. "Good morning, sleeping beauty."Damien lay propped up on one elbow, a playful glint in his eyes. Flora peeked at him, her cheeks burning. There was a new intimacy in his gaze, a possessiveness that sent a thrill down her spine."Morning," she mumbled, ducking under the covers a

Chapter 77: Confessions in the Afternoon (2)

Flora's cheeks flushed crimson, the memory of their stolen moments replaying in her mind like a forbidden film. "Everything?" she stammered, trying to sound casual as she nuzzled Whiskerton's head against her cheek."Everything, everything!" Eva persisted, her voice rising in pitch. "Did you two… you know?"Flora's blush deepened to the shade of a ripe tomato. "Eva, come on!" she protested, swatting playfully at her friend's arm.Eva, however, was undeterred. "Well? Did you or didn't you?"Flora sighed, the playful banter masking a surge of vulnerability. "Yes," she admitted, her voice barely audible.A shriek of delight erupted from Eva, nearly causing Whiskerton to leap out of Flora's arms. "Oh my god! Flora, you finally did it!"Flora winced at the volume, shushing Eva with a playful glare. "Keep it down, will you? Damien might hear you."Eva, still buzzing with excitement, barely contained her voice. "So, tell me! How was it?"Flora hesitated, tor

Chapter 77: Confessions in the Afternoon (3)

”In a stunning turn of events," he stated, his voice grave, "...police have managed to foil a potential escape attempt by Henry Grey and Esther Davies, the couple suspected of orchestrating the kidnapping of Flora Wicks, a prominent businesswoman and known philanthropist. According to reports, the pair were discovered attempting to bribe prison guards with a substantial sum of money, presumably in an effort to secure their freedom. Thankfully, prison officials apprehended them before any harm could be done." The news report continued, detailing the charges against Henry and Esther, highlighting the incriminating evidence gathered by the police, and outlining the prosecution's intention to pursue the harshest possible penalties. Flora watched, a mixture of relief and anger washing over her. Relief that their escape attempt had been thwarted, anger that it had been attempted at all. Eva, sensing the shift in Flora's mood, reached out and rubbed her back. "There you

Chapter 78: Saving Sungate

The dull thud of the knife hitting the wooden cutting board echoed through the kitchen as Flora began the preparations for a quick lunch. Being in the house these past few days was mind numbing with little to do, even more so that Damien was making quick stops at the office.In truth, making lunch was just an excuse to see, to steal a quick moment together and have a change in what was a very boring day. Not for the first time, Flora wondered if it was time to get a job after all these years. She needed something to occupy her time.The shrill ring of her phone sliced through her pondering. Quickly, Flora cleaned her hands and reached for the noisy device, recognizing the number on the caller ID. It was Andrew Whitaker, and his voice on the other end confirmed her suspicion.She hesitated for a moment, knowing that any call from Andrew usually meant pressing business matters despite his relaxed and friendly demeanor. Taking a deep breath, she answered.“Hello, Andr

Chapter 79: A Sister's Warning (1)

The press conference had been a gamble, Flora thought, one she wasn't sure would pay off. She was in her study, preparing to check in with Maybelline Sears and Andrew Whitaker about the current state of Sungate Manufacturing. She had released her statement just a few days ago, and the response had been overwhelmingly positive. She dialed Maybelline’s number first. “Good morning, Maybelline,” Flora greeted warmly as the call connected. “Same to you, Flora. It’s good to hear from you,” Maybelline replied, her voice filled with genuine warmth. “How are you holding up?” “I’m getting better day by day,” Flora assured her. “I wanted to check in and see how things are going at Sungate since the press release.” “You did a good thing, Flora,” Maybelline’s voice took on a more professional tone. “The spotlight on Sungate has been more favorable since you showed where you stood. Investors are starting to regain confidence, and we’ve seen a slight uptick

Chapter 79: A Sister's Warning (2)

Olivia’s eyes were filled with regret. “I’m sorry, Flora. I wanted to reach out sooner, but... I didn’t know how. There’s more. My mom is planning to take over the company while he’s unconscious. She... she says he signed over temporary control to her before the accident”Flora felt a wave of anger and betrayal wash over her. “How could she do that? She has no right!” Her head spun. A hostile takeover by Alice, her stepmother, while her father lay unconscious in a hospital bed? It was a scenario ripped straight out of a cutthroat business drama.“Are you sure about this, Olivia?" She pressed, her voice tight with disbelief. "Does anyone else know?"Olivia shook her head vehemently. "No, just me. Mom keeps everything so close to the vest. But I saw some documents on her desk, legal stuff about taking over control of Sungate. I looked into it a bit, and apparently, Dad did put her in charge of things if something happened to him, but you're his heir, Flora. To the estate,

Chapter 80: Coffee with a dash of plans (1)

The aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans hung heavy in the air as Flora entered the quaint little cafe she'd agreed to meet Eva in for a quick brunch. The interior was adorned with vintage decor, warm wooden tables, and soft lighting that created a welcoming ambiance. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the scent of baked goods, wrapping around her like a comforting embrace.She spotted Eva nestled in a corner booth where the natural light spilled in, casting a gentle glow over her. A well-worn copy of a legal journal was propped against a mug of steaming latte.Flora, dressed in a pair of comfortable jeans and a loose-fitting linen blouse, slid into the booth opposite Eva. Eva, clad in a simple sundress and a denim jacket, looked up, her smile faltering slightly at the sight of Flora's drawn expression. "Flora, love, what's wrong?" she asked, concern lacing her voice. Her hair was pulled back in a loose ponytail, and she wore minimal makeup, highlighting h

Eva nodded thoughtfully. "I get it, Flora. But be careful. You might think you're protecting him—or yourself—by keeping him at a distance, but to Damien, it might feel like you're pushing him away."Flora's eyes clouded with concern. She looked down at her hands, a pang of guilt twisting in her gut. Damien had been nothing but supportive throughout this ordeal, yet she'd been hesitant to confide in him about the latest developments."You think so? I don't want him to feel that way. I just... I don’t want him to see how badly Alice disregards me, how I'm treated at home."She sighed. "It's just... I'm so ashamed, Eva. Ashamed of how things are with my family, how Alice treats me. I don't want him to see this side of things."Eva leaned back, considering her words carefully. "It's natural to want to shield him from the ugliness, but Damien loves you. He wants to be there for you, through the good and the bad. You need to let him in, or it could create a rift between you two
