Chapter 81: Into the Lion's Den (1)

The trip back to Flora's hometown loomed large, casting a long shadow over her otherwise peaceful life with Damien. Packing wasn't just about clothes and toiletries this time. It was about gathering courage, strategizing with Eva, and bracing herself for an emotional whirlwind.She busied herself with preparations for her trip, her mind racing through a checklist of tasks. First, she packed her suitcase, ensuring she had enough clothes for a potentially extended stay. She selected a mix of professional attire for any confrontations with Alice and the lawyers, as well as casual clothes for more comfortable moments. Flora packed her toiletries, a few personal items, and, of course, her copy of the power of attorney documents that Eva had insisted she take along. Next, she reviewed her travel itinerary. She murmured to herself as she scrolled through the airport site, considering an early morning departure to give herself plenty of time to get settled before the meeting. She

Chapter 81: Into the Lion's Den (2)

The irony of the situation wasn't lost on Flora. A derisive snort escaped her lips. "Of course it is. This just keeps getting weirder."She forwarded the details to Eva, feeling a sense of urgency settle over her. “I better book my flight now,” she murmured.Damien watched her with a mixture of pride and worry. “Remember, Flora, call me if you need anything. Even if it’s just to talk.”Flora smiled, trying to lighten the mood. “It’s not like I’m going to war, Damien.” She finished with a lighthearted chuckle, attempting to dispel the tension that clung to the air like a second skin.He didn’t smile back, his face remaining grim. “The last time you were involved in a power struggle, you ended up in the hospital. Just...please be careful.”The memory of Flora's hospitalization was etched in his mind, a stark reminder of the lengths people could go to in a corporate power struggle. Damien reached across the table, his hand engulfing hers."This isn't some harmle

Chapter 82: Hometown Skyline (1)

The wheels of Flora’s plane kissed the tarmac, signaling her return to a city that held both cherished memories and lurking shadows. As she landed in her home city, she felt a mixture of anxiety and determination. The familiar surroundings of the airport brought back a flood of memories. A text notification buzzed on her phone, momentarily distracting her. It from Eva, confirming she was running late from work but was about to catch her flight. Flora texted back, “Just landed! Safe and sound. Looking forward to seeing you soon. NOT looking forward to negotiating with the witch I call a stepmother.”A chuckle escaped her lips as she envisioned Eva’s fierce loyalty coming to her defense. Their conversation flowed for a few more minutes before Eva stopped texting back, probably swamped by the process of checking inIt was not hard for Flora to admit to herself that she liked the idea of a familiar face with her as she faced off against Alice. Right now, the phase of that face

Chapter 82: Hometown Skyline (2)

The drive was smooth, and Flora found herself appreciating the gesture more than she had initially thought she would. Charles drove with practiced ease, while Anne occasionally glanced back to check on Flora.Charles pointed out landmarks and navigated the city's bustling traffic with the experience of a man used to doing such, while Anne remained a stoic presence in the front passenger seat.The hotel itself was a part of Damien's vast Equinox empire, a five-star establishment. Its opulent lobby was a far cry from the modest apartment Flora had envisioned for her stay. "Mr. Damien has arranged for you to stay at the Grand Equinox Hotel," Charles informed her. "It's one of the finest in the city, and we have ensured your suite is ready."Flora nodded, looking out the window at the passing cityscape. She couldn’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia mixed with the anxiety of what lay ahead.They arrived at the hotel, and Flora was immediately impressed by the elega

Chapter 83: Echoes of the Past (1)

Standing in the middle of her father's grand estate home, twelve year old Flora stood in the living room, clutching a report card. Her heart pounded as she waited for Alice to finish her tirade. She'd had worked so hard to get straight A’s, but Alice always found something to criticize.“You think you're so perfect, don’t you?” Alice sneered, her voice dripping with venom. “Just because you get good grades doesn’t mean you’re better than anyone else in this house. You’re nothing but a spoiled little brat.” The air was thick with the cloying scent of Alice’s rosewater perfume.Flora’s hands trembled. “I-I just wanted to show you my grades,” she stammered, hoping for some semblance of approval. But she knew it was a futile hope. Alice had never loved her, but Flora had held a vain hope that she would at least like her.Alice’s eyes blazed with anger. “Don’t you dare talk back to me!” she yelled. “You’re a disgrace, just like your mother. No wonder she left you. You’re wort

Chapter 83: Echoes of the Past (2)

No doubt, that nasty dream from a dark period in her life had been brought on by the very real fact that she was back in the city it had all taken place in.Eva didn’t look convinced. “Are you sure? You were really upset.”Flora forced a smile, though it didn’t reach her eyes. “Really, I’m okay. How was your flight? What would you like to eat? I can call for room service.”Eva shook her head. “I’m not hungry. I’m more worried about you. Are you truly alright?”Flora hesitated, then sighed, the weight of the past and the present pressing down on her. Eva’s gaze held a knowing skepticism. She wasn’t convinced, but she also knew better than to push. Before Flora could say anything more, Eva leaned in and embraced her tightly. Flora buried her face in Eva’s shoulder, the tears she had been holding back flowing freely now.She melted into the comforting hug, the familiar scent of Eva’s lavender shampoo grounding her, nothing like Alice's signature rosewater.“I ha

Chapter 84: Late Apologies (2)

A bitter taste settled on Flora's tongue. Henry, the catalyst for their ultimate falling out. She took a second before speaking again. “So, is this some kind of penance for you? Because if you hadn’t called me to tell me about the accident, you’d have everything you’ve always wanted.”Olivia shook her head vigorously, her eyes filling with tears. “No, Flora, it’s not like that. When I saw the news about your kidnapping, I realized how much I’ve contributed to your misery. I’ve been jealous of you from the moment we met. You had a father who loved you and could provide for you—a comfort I never had.”Flora took a deep breath, trying to process Olivia’s words. “And was it those same insecurities that made you cheat with Henry?” she asked, her voice hard. Her tone was deliberately neutral.Olivia flinched. "Maybe," she admitted after a moment's hesitation. "Seeing you happy with him… it just fueled my anger. And then, when Henry started… well, you know…"Flora did know.

Chapter 84: Late Apologies (1)

A curt knock on the door interrupted the hum soap opera playing on the television in the background as Flora drank her tea. Charles, his ever-present courtesy intact, ushered in a flustered Olivia. Anne, as stoic as ever, followed close behind, casting a brief, assessing glance around the opulent suite before discreetly lingering by the doorway.Olivia looked different—healthier, with a fuller face and hips. The change threw Flora off for a moment. Both Charles and Anne lingered, eyeing Olivia suspiciously."Thank you, Charles, Anne," she said, her voice laced with a hint of forced cheer. "You can both leave us. Olivia isn't here to cause any trouble,“ she glanced at her step-sister. “Are you?"Olivia, uncharacteristically subdued, offered a weak smile. "Goodness, no, Flora. How could you even think that?"Anne's lips remained compressed in a thin line, but Charles inclined his head in a shallow bow. "As you wish, Miss Flora. However, please do not hesitate to call u

Chapter 84: Late Apologies (3)

Taking a deep breath, Flora made a decision. "Alright, Olivia," she said, her voice firm yet gentle. "Let's give this a try.” She reached out, placing a steady hand over Olivia's trembling fingers. ”But know this – if you betray my trust, if this is all some elaborate game, there will be no coming back from it. I won’t be so forgiving after a second betrayal."Olivia nodded, tears streaming down her face. “Thank you, Flora. I promise, I just want to help. You won't regret this.”A hesitant smile touched Flora's lips. Would she regret this? Maybe. There was a very good chance that Olivia was playing her for a fool again. But she wouldn't let the fear of that stop her from doing what she believed was the right thing.The tension in the room eased as Flora felt a weight lift off her shoulders. She had chosen to forgive, and while the wounds Olivia had inflicted would always be there, maybe this was a step towards healing. Whether their newfound understanding would blossom i

Chapter 85: Test of Identity (1)

Flora's alarm woke her from a restless slumber as dawn painted the city in a hopeful glow, the morning sky bleeding a vibrant orange. Inside the lavish penthouse, a different kind of fire burned within Flora. Today was the day. Today she would finally face Alice, the woman who'd poisoned her childhood with constant criticism and indifference. She would confront her stepmother, and try to stop her from taking over her father’s company. She took a deep breath and tried to steady her nerves. She needed to be strong. She dressed carefully, choosing a sleek navy blue pencil skirt and a white silk blouse with delicate ruffles at the collar. Her black heels added a few inches to her height, giving her an air of authority. She added a pair of pearl earrings and a simple silver bracelet, her hair pulled back in a neat chignon. She looked at herself in the mirror, hoping to see a confident woman ready for battle. The fabric rested beautifully against her skin, it
