"So, momma is at home?" Flora asked her father on the video call. She was in her room. She saw her father nodding at her. "Yes, I had some meeting, so I came to the office to attend it," he answered her, sitting on the chair of his cabin in his company. Flora beamed. "Did it go well?" She asked him. He wagged his head with a smile which widened her grin. "So how's everything going there?" He asked her. "Everything is going perfectly well here, papa. In fact, better than I had expected," she answered. Riccardo caught that extreme amount of happiness gleaming in his child's eyes which filled him with content too. "Papa ….. actually I called you to ask for your permission for something,"she told him, honestly. He dipped his head in his response. "Our campus seniors are throwing a fresher's party for all the freshers of our department tonight, so can I go there?" She didn't feel hesitant because first of all she knew, her father was never going to deny her wish and even if he would
Flora's eyes enlarged in pure shock. She couldn't just believe what her eyes had just witnessed. He punched Broody, and so hard that it broke that man, Broody's teeth and even blood oozed out of his mouth. She gaped at him, completely perplexed, like the rest of the other people around her until "You bastard…." Broody recovered from that punch and charged towards him. Flora's eyes enlarged more when she saw Broody punching him on his face which made him fall on the ground. "Easton," she uttered, stunned and ran towards him. Broody grabbed his collar and punched him again roughly. His body shrugged and he was about to fall on the ground again but Flora caught him by wrapping her arms around his back. She saw the corner of his lips bleeding and that dark bruise on his cheek which made her clench her jaw. Now she had her enough and her endurance started slipping away for the worse. "So you will protect this fucker now?" Broody laughed at her, believing how she would protect him and fi
Flora turned around as soon as she heard him locking the door. She gave him a bewildered look."Why did you lock the door?" She asked him, confused. He looked at her and her breathing slightly hitched when she noticed that treacherous blankness engulfing his eyes. It felt like he was on the edge of murdering her. His feet made their way towards her and Flora didn't know why but for a split second, the way he was looking at her, she felt like he was seeing his worst enemy in front of him. She couldn't even understand what was actually happening here and especially to him.He stood in front of her, towering her tiny frame."Are you afraid?" He asked, gazing into her sea-green eyes. Flora saw something unknown evoking in his eyes at that moment but before she could even comprehend it, he walked past her."What happened to your I can protect myself, Ms. Alfanso?" He questioned. Flora shrugged her thoughts away, believing they were just her illusions. She walked towards him and stood besi
Wordlessly, her eyes were peering at the picture of that man, Broody's lifeless body. By seeing that image, she could clearly sense that the way he had been murdered, his murderer had taken out his anger and wrath at him in the cruellest possible way. His murderer wanted to shred every inch of his skin and he did it with no sympathy. She had been taught by her father this thing. "But who did this?" She asked, finally taking her eyes away from Niley's phone. Niley heaved a sigh and shook her head. "How would I know? I just woke up this morning and checked my phone and there I saw someone had shared this picture in our campus chat group," Flora heard Niley telling her which made her look towards the phone's screen again. "But who would have….." "Hey guys! Did you check the campus chat group?" Axle barged into the room, looking extremely shocked and paranoid. Both the girls looked at him and they immediately understood what he was talking about. "Yeah, I was telling about it to
"I killed him for hurting you," his words froze her heart completely. Flora looked at him, aghast. Her eyes had rounded so much like they were going to be out of her sockets. Her mouth was hung open. Flora forgot to breathe until she saw him rolling his eyes at her."What's wrong with your sense of humour? You're not the only one who can joke around here," he uttered, frowning. Flora finally regained her normal senses, after hearing him and as soon as she understood his words, she sent him a scowl."Do you think it's something to joke about, Easton?" She blurted out, starting the engine again. "I am sorry. Seems like my sense of humour is terrible and its timing is much worse than that," he gave her an apologetic grin. Flora sighed."Sometimes, you become too difficult to understand," she uttered, looking at the road. He peered at the side of her face."Is it a bad thing?" He asked, making her look at him."The time will tell, Mr Marzel," she answered him and looked away."And what
"Sir, they are here," Flora heard the police officer uttering who had taken them to the police station. They both stepped inside the door and saw an officer sitting on the main chair of a table. He looked like the head of the officers here. The head officer snapped his eyes at both of them and scanned both of them keenly. "Have your seats," he stated, gesturing towards the chairs in front of him. Tilting her head, Flora looked at him and found his grey eyes already on her. By looking at his face, she could clearly sense that he was feeling nervous and afraid after finding themselves in a situation like this. Flora sighed and then grabbed his palm in an assuring manner. Her wordless action told him that she was with him and she was never going to leave him alone in a situation like this. He held back her hand and it didn't go unnoticed by the head officer. With their intertwined hands, they walked towards the table and sat in front of the head officer. "Thank you for your coopera
"Ain't you taking advantage of being Flora Riccardo Alfanso?" He questioned her again.Flora noticed a look of discontent on his face as he asked her that thing, like her behaviour had irked him. Fully turned around to face him, she walked towards him and stood in front of him. She had to push her head upward to look at him in his eyes as they had quite a difference in their heights.Lifting her hands up, she wrapped her arms around his burly waist. "Does this make me a bad person?" She asked him, peering into his grey eyes. He saw her lips puckering out whereas her round wide eyes were filled with sadness. He understood she didn't want him to think bad of her and his opinion about her genuinely mattered to her.A smile broke out on his face at her reaction which made him raise his hands to wrap them around her neck. Slanting his head down, he took a closer view of her eyes."Nothing can make you a bad person, Ora," he told her, smiling. His words successfully created a big and wide
"Ms., the owner of this phone got into an accident, so the car's driver has taken him to the nearby hospital," "What?" Flora sounded in total disbelief because her heart didn't want to believe that something bad had happened to him. "Yes, it's nearer the city's bus station where this accident has happened and the car's driver has taken the boy to the hospital and I think in rush, the boy dropped his phone on the road, so I picked it up and decided to call someone and your number was the last number he has dialled, so I called you," Flora heard that woman notifying her which paced up her already throbbing heart more. "Which hospital? Can you please tell where the driver has taken him?" She asked, desperately. The lady told her the address. "Okay…okay thank you so much," Flora hung up the call and hurriedly stepped down from the bed. "Flora, what happened?" Bellyana asked, witnessing Flora's panicked self. "Aunty, my friend, Easton. He got into an accident. The car's driver ha
