Zayn POV
“I never imagined Ryder could stoop so low to kidnap Flora,” Reid rasped as he approached me. I just pressed the laptop non-stop, not sparing him a glance.
“So, what are your plans?” He asked after he'd taken his seat across the table.
I sighed heavily before looking up at him.
“There's a chip I fixed into her hair before she left that day, she knows nothing about it though,” I explained.
“That was a great idea,” Reid commended.
I breathe out and shake my head.
“But what is freaking me out now is that I still can't get through her, no matter how hard I try, I mean I've been trying to locate where she is, but I guess luck is not on my side” I heaved an exasperated sigh and stood up from the swivel chair.I ruffled my hair as I walk towards the window. “You've to keep trying Zayn, you aren't giving up, are you?” Reid says behind me. I turned to
Reid POVI walk back into the sitting room and met Zayn in the same position I left him, drinking himself to a stupor.I glance at the bottles of alcohol on the table and pain ripped my heart… I can't remember the last time Zayn'd too much drink.I sighed softly and sat next to him on the couch.“Zayn” I called quietly.He just stares blankly at the TV screen, not looking at me.“Zayn you're hurting yourself” I reminded plainly.He leaned forward and picked his halfway drink.Not anymore.I grabbed his hand before he could raise the bottle to his lips.“That's enough already,” I said sternly.“Let go of my hand Reid” He says in a drunk voice, trying to fred his hand, still not looking at me. “Zayn please, that's enough,” I said more calmly. He looks at me, I caught glimpse of tears pricked his eyes.“After I lost Iris,&r
Flora POVI raced to my room immediately Ryder left the house. He had reluctantly given me the phone which I gladly collected,he thinks he's smart, but I am smarter.I turned on the phone and my bright smile appears on the phone screen, it earns a small smile from my lips.I hurriedly dialed Zayn's number, beaming with smiles.“Just pick up already, Zayn,” I said, feeling delighted.“Flora, is that you?” I heard through the phone.It's not Zayn's voice.“Yes it's me, who're you? Please give the phone to Zayn, I need to speak with him,” I said impatiently as tears pricked my eyes.“This is Reid, Flora,” I heard.I gasped lowly.“Oh my goodness, Reid, where have you been?” I asked cheerfully.“Those talks can wait, Flora”“Where are you? Zayn has not been himself since you left, and I'm distressed,” He e
Flora POVRyder laughs quietly while sitting up on the bed. “What do you want to know about me, Flora?” He questioned, softly.I also sit prop up myself and faced him.“I can't remember anything from my past, Ryder,” I began, with hollow tears welling up in my eyes. “Whether I have a family or not, I can't remember anything, except from you!” I almost yelled with my hands on my head.“How I'd met you is the only question baffling me, and you refused to give me a genuine response” He leaned closer and wiped my tears with his right thumb.“Please stop crying,” He cooed as remorse crept on his face. “Will you answer me now?” I choked on my words, he nodded slowly. “I'm so sorry for causing you so much pain, Flora,” He says. I creased my brows, confused.“What pain?”He looked away from my face.“Your mum and my mum are intimate
Ryder POVI 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
