Chapter 85: Test of Identity (2)

The car glided smoothly through the city streets, the morning traffic a symphony of honking horns and impatient drivers. Flora, however, barely registered the chaos outside. Her mind was a whirlwind of emotions – anger at Alice, apprehension about the meeting, and a sliver of nervous excitement about toppling Alice's plans. The drive to the Equinox Centre was smooth and uneventful, the luxurious car gliding effortlessly through the city streets. Flora stared out the window, her mind racing with thoughts of what awaited her. She had faced many challenges in her life, but this one felt particularly daunting. She was about to confront her stepmother, the woman who had made her life a living hell for so many years. But she was determined to fight for her father’s company and his legacy. As they approached the Equinox Centre, Flora’s heart rate quickened. The office building where the lawyer's meeting would take place was a towering behemoth of glass and steel, its im

Chapter 85: Test of Identity (3)

Flora felt the air leave her lungs in a whoosh. A paternity test? What in the world did that have to do with her inheritance? She exchanged a bewildered glance with Eva, who carefully hid her own confusion under a mask of neutrality. Flora’s eyes widened in disbelief. “A paternity test? This is outrageous! My father has never questioned my paternity. Why now?” Alice finally spoke up, her tone dripping with feigned concern. “It’s a necessary legal formality, dear. We must ensure everything is in order.” “Why would there be a clause like that?" Eva finally chimed in, her voice sharp with suspicion. "Did Mr. Wicks have any doubts about Flora's parentage?" Alice shot Eva a withering glare, but before she could retort, Mr. Henderson intervened. "Unfortunately, Mrs. Wilson, the specifics surrounding the clause are not explicitly stated in the will. However, it does stipulate that if Miss Flora refuses the paternity test, she will forfeit not only t

Chapter 86: In the Shadow of Doubt (1)

Flora stared at the glittering cityscape outside the window, her reflection distorted in the glass like a funhouse mirror. The vibrant lights held no allure for her today. The revelation of the paternity test hung heavy in the air, a storm cloud threatening to unleash a torrent of emotions she wasn't sure she could handle.As the conference room confrontation receded into the background, Flora found herself adrift in a sea of troubling thoughts. Thoughts of the paternity test clause gnawed at her, casting a shadow over her childhood memories. She couldn’t help but wonder if her father had always harbored suspicions about her birth mother’s fidelity. Maybe that was why he allowed Alice to treat her so poorly. The idea that the man who had raised her might not be her biological father left her feeling unmoored and vulnerable.She tried to keep an upbeat attitude for Eva’s sake, brushing off her friend’s concerned questions with practiced ease. Each time Eva glanced her way, a

Chapter 86: In the Shadow of Doubt (2)

Flora stared at him, a flicker of hope battling the despair that had threatened to consume her. Damien's words, his unwavering belief in her, felt like a lifeline thrown across a churning sea. She clutched at it with the desperation of a hungry hound.As if in agreement, Whiskerton let out a loud meow and then purred contentedly against Damien. Flora couldn’t help but smile at the sight. “Thank you,” she said, her voice thick with emotion. ”I needed to hear that.”Damien reached out, as if to touch the screen separating them. The gesture, though impossible, held a tenderness that made Flora's heart skip a beat. "Always, love," he said, his gaze holding hers. “Remember, you’re not alone in this. I’m here for you, no matter what.”They spoke for a little while longer, Damien updating her on his day, his voice a soothing balm on her frayed nerves. As the conversation wound down, a peculiar thought snuck into Flora's mind, one both scary and enticing.Several hours later

Chapter 87: Seeking Answers (1)

After breakfast with Eva, Flora tried to occupy herself with reading the documents of her father's company, particularly those pertaining to succession. She found the details meticulous and comprehensive, yet with each page she turned, her frustration grew. However, the more she read, the angrier she became. As she delved into the intricate succession clauses, her ire creeped higher. Every sentence, every paragraph, seemed like a cruel reminder of the precariousness of her situation. The possibility of the paternity test unraveling her entire claim, of being rendered an outsider in her own inheritance, gnawed at her like a relentless rodent. Was there even a point in fighting? Was there a point in flying back all the way to her home city, battling Alice, and clawing her way through the legal system, only to have a single blood test render her efforts totally useless? The thought that all her struggles might be in vain left her feeling hollow and despondent.

Chapter 87: Seeking Answers (2)

It was no secret that Alice, always the epitome of image-conscious, would relish the opportunity to rid herself of her ailing husband, even if it meant splurging on a deluxe hospital room. The cost wouldn't matter to her as long as it maintained a semblance of decorum. Charles remained silent, his eyes forward, as Anne parked the car. Stepping out of the car, Flora felt a strange mix of trepidation and a morbid curiosity. She straightened her skirt and took a deep breath, steeling herself for whatever awaited her within those sterile walls. Though this was a different place entirely, it unfortunately reminded her of her time spent recovering from Esther's plans and Tilly Goodman s assault, bringing that luckless period to the forefront of her mind. Funny enough, it had not been that long ago. This place reminded her of blood and pain and fear. Flora took a deep breath and smoothed out her blazer as she walked through the entrance. Inside, the

Chapter 88: Hello, Mr. President (1)

A gasp escaped Flora's lips as strong arms wrapped around her waist, catching her before she could hit the floor. A smoky musk surrounded her. She looked up, startled, into a pair of apologetic brown eyes framed by thick black glasses. "Oh my God, are you alright?" a male voice exclaimed, his voice laced with concern. The man holding her steadied her and then stepped back, his hands still lingering on her waist. "I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." As Flora opened the door to leave her father's hospital room, she bumped into a hard chest. The collision sent her off balance, and before she could process what was happening, a pair of strong hands caught her mid-fall by the waist, straightening her back up. Flora blinked, slightly disoriented. The sudden contact had knocked the wind out of her. "It's fine. I'm fine. Really. But, um... your hands?" The man looked down and realized his hands were still on her. He flinched slightly, a

"In the bath!" Flora replied, her voice carrying across the bathroom and into the room.The bathroom door creaked open and Eva peeked in. Her usually bright eyes were shadowed with fatigue. She looked utterly exhausted ."Long day?" Flora asked sympathetically."You could say that," Eva sighed, her shoulders slumping. "Hey, Flora. How was the hospital?"Flora smiled weakly. "I'll be out in a few minutes so you can shower and rest. You look like you need it. We can grab some takeout for dinner when you wake up."Eva waved her off. "Take your time. I'll nap first and shower when I wake up. But tell me, how did it go?"Flora sighed, leaning her head back against the edge of the tub. "Alice excluded my name from the list of close family members, so I had to pretend to be Olivia to get in. My father looks so frail... it was hard to see him like that."Eva frowned in sympathy. "I'm sorry, Flora. That must have been tough.""It was," Flora admitted. "I'm kin

Her eyes narrowed at the sudden shift in conversation. One moment they were discussing a company takeover, the next he was asking her out. It was disarming, to say the least."Coffee?" she repeated, a hint of incredulousness creeping into her voice. "Isn't that a little… unconventional? Considering we just met, and you have no idea if I'm even qualified for the company, let alone qualified for a date?"He chuckled throatily. "Fair point," he conceded. "But then again, who says business can't be a little delightful?"Flora couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at his playful tone. This man was a walking contradiction – an awkward geek with the confidence of a seasoned businessman and the flirtatiousness of a charming rogue. "Mr. Blackwell," she started, emphasizing his last name, "I appreciate the offer, but I'm a taken woman. Furthermore, my focus right now is solely on my father and the upcoming paternity test.”A flicker of disappointment crossed Cyprus's face, t

Chapter 89: The Weight of Blood (1)

The days leading up to the testing were nerve-wracking for Flora. She tried to focus on work, read, and distract herself with anything that came to mind, but the looming test hung over her like a storm cloud. Each day felt heavier than the last. On the morning of the test, she dressed somberly in a dark blue blouse and black slacks, the colors reflecting her mood. Eva accompanied her, sensing the gravity of the situation. When Flora stepped out of her room and into the car, she noticed that Charles and Anna were even quieter than usual. Their usual polite small talk was absent, replaced by a solemn silence that matched Flora's internal turmoil. Charles mumbled 'good luck, ma'am' as they got into the car, his usually jovial demeanor subdued. Anna, ever the quiet observer, cast a sympathetic glance in Flora's direction. The tense atmosphere spoke volumes – the silence was more eloquent than any words. The court had directed that the testing be done at a federal ho
