2025-02-09 12:01:53FLORA's POV
My eyes widened in shock!, my body trembling and paralyzed with fear!!!. “How did this happen, Micheal?!” I questioned loudly holding the duvet to my chest tightly “Don't look so surprised baby, it's me. Your one and only Michael. I know you must have missed me a lot, right", he said, giving me a wicked grin I couldn't look him in the eyes because I felt so ashamed of myself. "You were so fierce last night baby. You kept asking for me again and again, and I couldn't resist not granting your request", he said, chucking like a devil that he is “Why did you do this to me, Micheal?” I questioned with a teary voice. I had to hold myself before I gave in to the tears wailing in my eyes. I shouldn't be here. I stood up from the bed, using the duvet to cover myself. In a rush, I bent down to pick up my clothes and left the room to the bathroom "Hey, listen to me. Where are you going?", I heard Michael's voice from behind me, shouting like a fool that he is After five minutes, I came out from the bathroom still confused and unable to comprehend what had happened. Michael was still sitting on the bed with his phone. It seems like he was waiting for me "Listen to me Michael, whatever happened between us was a mistake, and you know that. So please stay away from me", I told him. "I only love Stanley, and I'm getting married to him soon, so please do not come to disrupt my joy," I said, my voice laced with strict warning. Immediately I turned and moved towards the exit door after I had spoken my mind. Without hesitation, I slammed the door shut behind me not minding any response he must have given or wanted to give **** FLORA's APARTMENT Consumed by regrets as I tried to replay the events of last night in my head. How could I have been so reckless to the point that I actually slept with Micheal, my toxic ex two days before my wedding? Have always claimed to hate cheaters, but unfortunately, I turned out to be one. Hot tears gently roll down my cheeks as I think about Stanley, the man who has always stood beside me, and loved and cared for me dearly. All have done now is repay his trust with betrayal I can’t forgive myself. My body trembling with despair and fear, the fear of losing the one person who truly mattered to me My fingers clutched at the bed sheets and my tears soaked into the pillow I used to cover my face How do I face Stanley? It's two days to our wedding, and I went ahead to sleep with my idiotic ex-boyfriend. Will this be the end of my happy journey with Stanley? I thought as I sat lonely at the edge of my bed 'How about you tell him the truth?', a little voice in my head suggested That isn’t a good idea and it can lead to the end of this relationship. But it is also better to tell him myself than for him to hear about it outside but will he ever forgive me? All these thoughts kept roaming in my head until it was interrupted by the ringing of my phone. It's Stanley calling!. Once more, all the guilt I felt started coming back. I couldn’t believe that a call from Stanley that always makes me happy would ever leave me feeling nervous and scared. What do I do? I shouldn't have gone to that bar. Once again, SKYLINE BAR has given me another reason to hate my existence. I really hope Stanley forgives me this time around. But, what if he doesn't? I was totally confused I summoned the courage to tell him I decided to pick up Stanley's call, having made up my mind to let him know of the tragic incident. I'd plead for his forgiveness, and if he decided that he wouldn't continue with the wedding, then I'd respect his decision and pay for my reckless action. "H-hello", I stuttered, my voice shaking "Hmm, hello. Seems like you forgot you had a fiancé right?", he said, his voice laced with teasing I felt even more guilty because he was actually right. We haven't spoken since yesterday, because I was busy getting screwed by my toxic ex-boyfriend. Oh God!!!!! Way to go Flora!! What's with your talks about hating cheaters??!! "I'm very sorry darling", I told him my voice was barely audible enough to be heard. "Are you okay, my love?" he asked his voice firm and laced with concern. I'm very sure he isn't convinced that I'm okay because my voice might sound otherwise "Hmm, I want to discuss something with you", I told him, feeling very guilty My heart was beating so fast that I thought it was going to explode "Okay, love. I'll come over to your place then. But, hope you're feeling okay. Nothing is wrong with you right?", he asked, his voice laced with worry This only made me feel more guilty. How did I end up with someone this good and still cheat on him? I thought I held myself back from crying because Stanley did not deserve what I was about to tell him "Yes baby, I'm fine. Please just be quick. Get here soon", I told him and hung up the call before I could even hear his response Hot tears ran down my cheeks as I held my gown tightly with my slender arm. I really messed up, and because of this silly mistake of mine, I might lose Stanley forever I was still weeping, when I noticed that my phone was vibrating and I looked to see who the caller was, thinking it was Stanley, but it was Jessica "Hello Lora!", she said with a worried voice. "How're you, my love? Hope you're fine. I've been calling you since yesterday but,..." "I cheated on Stanley with my ex, Michael", I interrupted her, my voice sounding teary "What??. Oh my God", she exclaimed. "How did it happen? When exactly?". I knew she could not also believe it from the way she responded, of all the people that I could have made this grave mistake with, why must it be Micheal? With the little strength left in me, hesitantly, I explained everything I knew and could remember to her. "Ohhh Lora baby, please stop crying. It’s not your fault. I'm very sure Stanley would understand", she tried to comfort me But, I'd say that it's not working. I still feel guilty for everything. I shouldn’t have gotten drunk, I shouldn’t have gone to SKYLINE BAR. I’m so stupid!!!!!! "Stanley doesn't deserve what I did to him, I shouldn't have done that to him", I said, with tears in my eyes "Yeah, I know baby. I'll come see you later in the evening. Okay?", she said, her voice tinged with worry "Okay Jess, I'll be waiting", I told her, sniffing and wiping a little tear from my eye "So, what's the plan? Do you want to inform him?", she asked, her voice sounding worried "Of course, I have to. He needs to know the kind of person he was getting married to. It’s better I told him than for him to hear about it elsewhere", I told her, feeling bad about myself "Okay dear, if that's what you've decided, then it's fine. I'd support you. I believe everything will be alright", she said trying to comfort and give confidence even though I wasn’t "Thank you baby", I appreciated her support Our discussion was interrupted when I heard my doorbell sound "Hmm Jess, I think Stanley is here. We'll talk later", I informed her "Okay, Lora. You can do it. Take care", she said, and hang up the call I walked to the door to open it. Normally, I'd feel so elated to open the door for Stanley, but now I seem to be walking very slowly to the door. My heart was beating very fast with each sound of the doorbell I heard. I wonder how he'd react to this bombshell I'm about to drop. I breathed in and out and summoned the courage to open the door.

Stanley’s POV Today's work actually is a little bit tedious and tiring. “Come to my office now” I called my secretary in. I glanced through the documents in my front and made sure to sign at the appropriate place I was meant to “Yes boss” she replied with her hands crossed at her back and her head bowed a little bit It’s amazing being a wealthy man and the CEO of the company you are managing, you are bound to be respected a lot but it is also challenging as you are left to make decisions that can either favor the company or do otherwise. “Natalia, the contract we’ve been working on, what about it?” I asked as I focused my attention on her “We’ve been shortlisted amongst the companies to be given the contract and with all our efforts I’m sure we will be highly considered for it” she defended “That’s good, I trust you and the rest to seal it up and please make sure to always keep me updated as regards it” “Definitely” “Thank you, you can go” I instructed and focused my attentio

Flora’s POV "Are you very sure about that?", I asked the doctor, my voice shaking with fear as I moved closer to him and collected the document he was holding even though I had no idea what was written Desperation was written all over my face, what’s the meaning of all this? Why is this happening? I thought as Stanley came to join me where I was standing close to the doctor "Yes, I'm 100% sure that neither Stanley nor Michael is the father of the child", the doctor confirmedWhat's this supposed to mean? How can neither of the two men I've been involved with, be the father of my child? I looked at where Michael was seated and I saw the way he was smiling wickedly If neither Stanley nor Michael is the father of my baby, then who is the Father of the child????I looked at where baby Aurora was sleeping and I could only pity myself because now I could only imagine the explanation I was going to give Stanley and our family members present.

Flora’s POV I sat down at the edge of my bed, lost in the depths of my mind, a gentle tap on the back of my shoulder jolted me back to reality. I had been daydreaming all this while, Micheal was definitely not here, I thought stupidly with my head bowed down for a moment. I couldn’t believe I was having this stupid thought. Baby Aurora’s wails had grown louder which finally registered in my consciousness what was going on, I looked around just to be sure no one was here before. “What were you thinking, Flora?” I heard my best friend's voice laced with both concern and surprise “I could hear the sound of Aurora’s crying way before climbing the stairs only for me to meet you here lost in your little thoughts” she queried as she picked up baby Aurora and petted her “Am so sorry babe, I was lost in thought that’s all” I swept my hair back, revealing my face, which was etched with worry and concern. “What were you thinking that made you unrealized of the situation around you” Jessica

Stanley’s POV I stood tall, dressed up in my black tuxedo with my matching pants and sparkly white Nike sneakers. Even though I was in a rush, I still looked good and sharp. I felt a sense of confidence as I headed for the impromptu stakeholder’s meeting which was just called up, which I am still surprised about. For the meeting to have been called on short notice then it must really be important and urgent As I rushed downstairs, I greeted my mum and my little sister before I hurriedly left the house. My driver and personal assistant were already waiting for me by the car and I instructed them to start the movement without any delay. Upon arriving, the conference room was filled with tension as I entered quietly. Seems everyone was waiting for me because all eyes were on me as I entered. I surveyed the entire room occupied by shareholders, a mix of individuals and representatives from various investment firms, all sat down with their arms crossed and their faces etched with di

ANONYMOUS POV“Finally, my plans are getting accomplished little by little and I must say that I am impressed to some extent,” I said as I relaxed on my couch and watched one of the media publish the news from Stanley’s interview on the screen. “He looked like he was going to snap and collapse on the spot. The Funny thing is that I am just getting started with him, I would make sure he regrets being alive. Stanley is right where I want him”. The thought sent a shiver of excitement down my spine as I took a sip of my juice and changed the channel to a football match between a long rival Real Madrid vs Barcelona.Moments later, my phone rang and surprisingly the caller was one of my most trusted minions, Jessica Campbell. “Speak” I ordered immediately, my voice firm as I picked up the phone “Good day boss” she began “I believe that I have completed my part of the mission. Am I permitted to return to Canada where I came from,” she asked her voice laced with fear and worry I get the r

Stanley’s POV"Flora!" I screamed, my voice thick with rage and disbelief.She turned to look at me, her face contorted in shock, and just as our eyes met—I woke up.My breath came in short gasps as I shot up from the bed, my heart pounding against my chest. Sweat clung to my forehead, and the remnants of the dream still lingered in my mind. I rubbed my temples, cursing under my breath.It was just a dream.A damn dream.But why the hell was I still thinking about her? Why was she still tormenting me even in my sleep?I glanced at the clock. It was the middle of the night, yet sleep had completely abandoned me. With a frustrated sigh, I threw off the duvet, got out of bed, and stepped into the surprisingly bright hallway.As I walked past Flora’s room, I instinctively slowed my steps. The door was shut, but just standing there made my chest feel heavy. I hated that I still felt anything at all. It had been weeks, and yet, the hurt refused to fade.Shaking my head, I continued tow

Flora’s POVAs soon as I step through the door, the scent of lavender and fresh soup greets me,home. My mother’s already waiting in the living room, perched at the edge of the couch with Aurora’s favorite stuffed bunny in hand. She looks up as I drop my keys on the console."How did it go?" she asks gently, her voice laced with concern.I take a breath, forcing the calm that’s been threatening to snap. "It went well," I say, lowering myself onto the armrest of the sofa. "We both signed. It’s done now."She studies my face closely. “Are you okay?”I nod. “I have to be, Mom. For Aurora. For myself. Falling apart isn’t an option anymore.”Her hand reaches out and rests over mine, warm and grounding. “You’re stronger than you think, Flora. But even strong women are allowed to cry.”Not today, I want to say. Not now. Not until I’m alone.She straightens a bit and offers a small smile. “Aurora’s birthday is next week, don’t forget.”“I haven’t,” I say. “I’ll start planning soon. She dese

Stanley’s POVI sit on the edge of the bed, elbows resting on my knees, staring at nothing.The silence in this room feels heavier than usual.I keep replaying the scene over and over in my head,Flora sitting across from me earlier today, calmly picking up the pen, signing the divorce papers, and walking away like it meant nothing. No last words. No second glances. Not even a flicker of emotion.Just… gone.After everything we’ve been through,our history, our daughter, I paused on that. Aurora isn't my daughter yet she signed those papers like she was closing a business deal. Clinical. Unbothered.Cold.I pinch the bridge of my nose, trying to suppress the ache growing behind my eyes. When did she become like that? That woman who used to light up when I walked into a room now looks at me like I’m a stranger. Worse,like I’m invisible.And the scary part?I can’t even blame her fully anymore. Not afte

Flora’s POVThe phone vibrates on the table beside me, and for a moment, I just stare at it. I’m not in the mood for more calls, more drama, more unexpected twists. But when I see the caller ID—Lawyer Peter—I sigh and pick it up.“Hello?”“Mrs. Davis—sorry, I mean Ms. Flora,” he corrects himself quickly. “Just calling to inform you the divorce papers have been finalized. Both your signatures are required now. Can we arrange a meeting today?”I glance at the clock. It’s only just past noon. My chest tightens. It feels so… final. Even though I’ve been expecting this.“Okay,” I say quietly. “Give me a moment.”I hang up and dial Stanley. He picks on the third ring.“We need to meet,” I say, skipping past the pleasantries. “Peter called. The papers are ready.”He’s silent for a beat. “Where?”“His office.”“I’ll be there.”He hangs up.No arguments. No hesitation. No emotion.I close my eyes and take a deep breath.Maybe it’s better this way.The meeting room is too quiet. Peter’s des

Jessica’s POVMy fingers tap rhythmically on the countertop, the screen of my phone lighting up with the time. 11:03 AM. The meeting should have started three minutes ago, but I’m still here, sipping a lukewarm espresso and pacing like a general before war.My phone rings, sharp and loud, dragging me out of my thoughts. I glance at the caller ID—Delilah, the event planner.I press answer, already annoyed.“Jessica,” she begins quickly, “the team’s been waiting. You’re the one who fixed the meeting time, and—”“Pause.” I cut her off, voice smooth but firm. “I have something important to take care of.”I don’t wait for a reply before ending the call.The moment I hang up, I snatch my purse, slip on my sunglasses, and head for the car. Screw the meeting. It can wait. Michael is more important right now. Much more.I slide behind the wheel, engine growling to life. The gates swing open, and I speed out of the compound without a second glance.Fifteen minutes later, I pull into the

Senator Jones’ POVThe soft hum of jazz floats through my study as I pour myself a glass of whiskey. It’s late, but I’ve never been much of a sleeper. Too many things always need watching, controlling. Especially now.My phone vibrates against the oak desk. I see the caller ID and smile faintly before answering.“Boss,” I say smoothly, settling into the leather armchair.“Jones,” he replies, his voice sharp and cold as ever. “How’s Flora coping at the company? Is she giving you trouble?”I swirl the amber liquid in my glass, taking a moment before responding. “She almost did,” I admit. “She had that fire in her eyes a few days back. Looked like she was ready to tear the whole place down.”The boss chuckles darkly. “I told you she’s a wild one.”“True,” I say. “But I brought her back to her senses. Just a little nudge to remind her of her place, and she snapped right back in line.”“Good. I don’t want her rebellious. I want her useful,” the boss says. There’s a pause, then he contin

Flora’s POVI sit in the car, watching the city lights blur past through the window, and for a moment,I can’t breathe.Did I just do that?Did I really sit through a dinner with Stanley and Jessica like it didn’t break every nerve in my body? Did I smile? Stay calm? Keep my voice even?I did.And I didn’t just survive it… I owned it.I blink, looking down at my hands, still slightly trembling, but steady enough to clench the edge of my dress. I feel raw inside, like I’ve been skinned emotionally, but on the outside,I looked untouched. That has to count for something.I glance to the other seat where the nanny holds Aurora gently. She’s fast asleep, cheeks flushed from the night, her tiny hand curled around the edge of her bunny plushie. So peaceful. So soft.I swallow the lump in my throat.The nanny offers me a small, knowing smile. “She didn’t even stir. Must’ve been a long day.”“Yeah,” I say, voice hoarse. “For both of us.”I lean forward, tapping the glass. “Let’s go. I just

Flora’s POVIt’s almost time to leave, but my heart won’t stop racing.I pace the living room twice, clutching my handbag like it might fly away if I let go. Aurora’s dressed already,hair done in a sweet puff, her tiny hands playing with the butterfly clips in her curls.I turn to Mama. “I don’t know why I’m so nervous. I feel like this is a mistake.”She walks over and touches my shoulder gently. “It’s not a mistake, Flora. You’re just anxious. Breathe, alright? Maybe this dinner is a good thing.”I glance toward the window. It’s already getting dark.“Be positive,” she adds. “Whatever happens tonight, just stay calm. Don’t let anyone rattle you.”I nod slowly, then my phone rings, interrupting the moment.Unknown number.I hesitate, then swipe to answer. “Hello?”“Miss Flora,” a familiar voice says, low and firm. It’s the agent. “You’ll be accompanied to your meeting tonight. My men are waiting outside your house.”“What?” I blink. “How did you even—?”But the line goes dead.I

Flora's POVI stare at the file on my desk like it might reach out and bite me. My heart’s been beating too fast since I saw his name,Stanley Davis,boldly written under the “eliminate” column. It doesn’t make sense. Nothing makes sense anymore.I pace the floor of my office, my heels clicking too loudly against the tiles. I want to scream, throw something, demand answers,but I don’t even know who to direct my anger to. Senator Jones? Mr. Rivera? The agent who dropped this bombshell on my desk and vanished like smoke?God, I want to go to the senator’s house. I want to grab him by the collar and ask what twisted game he’s playing. But I can’t. I think of my mom. I think of Aurora—her little giggles, the way she wraps her tiny fingers around mine like I’m her entire world.If I make the wrong move, if I provoke the wrong man… they’ll pay the price.I sit down slowly, running my fingers through my braids, trying to breathe through the chaos. I keep glancing at the door, hoping the age

Jessica’s POVThe hospital smells like antiseptic and quiet desperation. I walk briskly through the corridor, not making eye contact with anyone. I’m not here for small talk or polite nods. I’m here to get things done. Ruthlessly.I reach the doctor’s office and knock once before stepping in without waiting for a response. Dr. Franklin looks up from his desk, startled.“Miss—” he starts, standing as if unsure whether to greet me or brace himself.I cut him off with a smile. “Sit down, doctor. I won’t take much of your time.”His nervous energy is almost amusing. I close the door behind me and walk to his desk slowly, deliberately, like I own this hospital. In many ways, I do,money talks, and mine never stutters.“I need a favor,” I say, placing my purse on the edge of his desk. “Stanley’s mother… I want her drug regimen changed.”His brows knit together. “Changed?”“Yes,” I reply smoothly. “Swap it with something… a little more effective at finishing the job. Something that will sl
