Ryder POV
I carefully placed her on the back seat in my car. She's still unconscious, and I do not want her to wake before we would leave, that won't be easy.
Yeah.
I've made all the arrangements for our flight, which is tonight. I need to leave this country with Flora, as time goes by she would definitely forgive me.I hoped into the car and shut the side door, I ignited the engine and zoomed out of the compound.
As I speed on the road, I kept glancing at Flora from the front mirror, at any slight opportunity. Her hair is ruffled and some of it are gelled to her forehead.
She still looks pretty.
I'm sorry for doing this to you, Flora, but I have to.All of a sudden, the car engine turned off.
Huh?I started it again, but it was not coming to life, instead it's giving a shrilling sound.
Damn!
“Not this night of all nights you fool” I yelled silently through clench teeth.I opened the door
William POV“Antonio is not helping matters, William,” Lucas says as he lifted his glass of wine to his mouth.I exhaled the smoke from my nostril and shook my head.We're both sitting in a tavern having a drink.Antonio is one of my boys, I sent him on a mission to spy on a client who has stopped trading with me; he's not sharing any details, neither picking my calls.“What do we do?” Lucas asked, adjusting himself on his seat.I leaned back on the metal chair while flipping the butt of my cigarette in the ashtray.Antonio knows me well, I do not understand why he's testing my patience.I averted my gaze from our table, and it landed on a woman. Hang on, it was not just a woman.It's not really late at night, but the bulbs brighten the whole place.I watched as she talks to the young man sitting across her, she has really grown into a more beautiful woman.Bu
Zayn POVI gradually stroll into her room, my eyes darting everywhere, searching for her.Then reality whipped me like body blows,Today marks exactly a month she left this house. I stood planted, staring at the phone pack on her bed as memories came flooding in my head.“Uhm… I have a surprise for you though”“What's the surprise?”“You want to know?”“Yeah”“Then kiss me baby”.I shut my eyes briefly, allowing the hot tears to roll down my cheeks on their own, while running a hand through my hair. “I miss you so much, Flora” I mumbled under my breath. “Why does it seem so hard to get you? Why?”“Zayn” I heard a voice, it's not Reid's.Then who?I turned around swiftly to look. What?“What are you doing here?” My voice breaks.I cussed Ryder for taking
Zayn POV“Where's Flora?” I asked him again, in my calmest voice but boiling deep down.He shoved a hand into his head and breathe out heavily, fear was boldly inscribed across his face. “Zayn” He murmured. “Get Flora here this minute, you fool” I thundered, and he flinched.“Flora…”“Flora isn't here Zayn” His voice wavers.I took a step forward and snatched his neck roughly, strangling him. “Where is Flora?” I grunt, my jawline clutched.“Flora's… Not here… I'm telling the… Truth” He chokes on his words, blood oozing out from his mouth. “Let him go, Zayn” I heard Reid's voice, tugging my other arm.I lifted him from the floor, his back facing the sky. “Please Zayn” Violet added, sniffing.“No, I want to kill him” I roared.“Za…yn… David
William POV“Make sure you bring her here, no matter what it takes” I instructed through the phone. “Yes boss”“And ensure you don't leave any traces behind, I hope you understand that?” I strengthened. “Crystal boss” He responded. I ended the call on time and shut my eyes briefly. “I just want to see my daughter again” I mumbled to myself.“Fine… You're in my Dad's house, and he has been longing for you, so that answered the reason you're here” I heard David's voice from the dining room. Huh?I furrowed my brows, shifting my gaze to where the voice is coming from.“Who's he talking to?” Oh, my…She's awake?I accelerated my steps towards the dining room and truly, she's awake.As soon as I walked in, her eyes stays on my face, likely trying to remember where she'd seen my face. Her eyes protruded all of a sudden as sh
Flora POVThe following morning...Why does life seem not fair to me?Why do I have to go through all these at my tender age?I ran away from home so I can enjoy life. After all, I needed freedom, cause I was freaking tired of getting married again.I met with a young bad guy.The young bad guy that made me know things I never thought existed.The young bad guy that captured my heart with his bad ways.The young bad guy that showed me so much love, without taking any advantage of me.Hot tears streamed down my cheeks as I stare blankly into space.I'd thought my world is complete with Zayn in it, but I was wrong. I'm just destined to be distress my whole life.David had warned me not to think of ever leaving this house till his Dad decides and he's not telling me what I need to know- cause I still don't understand why his Dad wants me here.I sighed heavily.I just hate my life!A knock
Stella POVI heard him laughs hysterically, so I decided to an eye. Oh my goodness…What do I do?He's really the one.He's William.The father of my daughter.After a short while, he covered up the laughter with a little cough. “Enough of your drama Stella, I'm not a ghost” He said sternly.Tears welled up in my eyes,And with my heart beating very fast, I finally mustered the courage to sit up.He was not dead?He's alive all this while?Furthermore, he sat down on the edge of the bed, but I couldn't even bring myself to look at him right now, I'm so stupid.“So, how have you been?” He inquired, and I couldn't fight back the tears again.“I'm so sorry, William” I apologized, crying profusely. “I know I've wronged you and I don't deserve your forgiveness” My voice throbbed with emotions.“But please forgive me, I live with regret
William POV“I'm sorry, but I need some water,” She says, staring down.Suddenly, remorse started eating me up.Maybe I shouldn't have talked to her in such a manner, but I couldn't help my anger.My eyes were glued to the table with everything running through my head.“Mum” I heard Flora call out.I raised my head.“Flora” Stella also called and my eyes dilated.What's going on?Flora rose to her feet at once and I watch as Stella ran to where she's standing, checking every part of her body.“Oh, gracious Lord… it's really you” she exclaimed and snuggle Flora into her arms.“I missed you so much darling” Stella cries, stroking Flora's back.“I missed you too Mum, and I'm deeply sorry for causing you so much pain,” Flora says, tears rushing out from her eyes.Stella disengaged from the hug and smile widely at Flor
Violet POVI settled in my car and brought my phone out of my clutch.I dialed Zayn's number,it rings for some minutes, but he's not picking up. “Damn!”I redialed it and he's still not picking.What do I do?Yes!Reid.I quickly checked through my contacts and found his ID.GreatHe should know where Zayn is.I dialed his number and thank goodness he picks at the second ring.“Hi Reid”“Hello who's this?” He asked and I almost roll my eyes.He doesn't have my contact.“This is Violet” I told him.“Where's Zayn now?” I asked him impatiently.“Zayn clearly warned you to stay away from him, isn't it?”“You don't need to remind me, just answer my question” I half yelled.“And what if I don't?”“Zayn's life is in danger, you fool!&rdquo
