Tangled Truths 33. Surpassed Any Fear
Lucas' POV What the bloody hell is going on right now? I feel so confused. I continue to drag her away with a deep frown on my face as I lead her down the basement of the boat, shutting the door immediately and locking it. I turn to look at her beautiful face and notice the fright already enveloping them. "What the hell is that?" She asks immediately, but then I shake my head, thinking of a quick way to distract her from the trouble. I am not comfortable seeing her like this. I had been hoping that I would continue to see that beautiful, elated smile of hers on her face. But what the hell is all this and who the hell is the bastard that how to ruin my chances of happiness right now? Aaargh. I have never felt so angry in my entire life. I look around the basement of the ship and then scan a very large table wide and big enough to contain her and protect her from whatever might happen later. I walk up to her and place both of my hands against her shoulders, rubbing them sligh

Flora's POV My lips are trembling. My limbs themselves are also trembling. I'm struggling to catch my breath right now as it feels as though a powerful invisible strong Force is sucking up all the entire oxygen in the air. Lucas scrambles towards a place in the slightly dark basement, and within the blink of an eye, he is not where to be found. I look around with fear wondering where the hell he went to as the fear in my chest increases. What the hell is he doing? Why did he choose to disappear like that? I wonder to myself as I look all around me with fear wondering if it will be a very wise idea to call his name. That's going to be bad because it's going to attract the attention of the attackers who are standing directly outside the door presently. I find my place beneath the table where Lucas asked me to hide and slowly attempt to pull down a shutter that looks as though it was erected like a door or something. I don't understand the structure of this table but I can tell

Lucas' POV I continue to look at her with disbelief in my eyes. Just what the living bloody heavens is she thinking? Is she thinking that this is some kind of child play or what? I don't understand what is going on in her mind presently. Just what the fucking hell... I continue to look at her with disbelief as she slowly turns around to face Damien who is smirking at her with an evil determination in his eyes. God, I hate him so much, and it is making me so annoyed and frightened and scared at the same time. I don't know what tricks he has up in his sleeve to get her back. I needed to be able to focus so I would know how and what tactic to use to kick him out of this boat once and for all. But it is not going to be easy right now with flora standing directly in between the both of us. It's going to make my attention divided and I am not going to know who to attend to first. This is just so freaking crazy. I'm still having a hard time trying to grasp what she intended to gain
최신 업데이트 : 2024-11-26Tangled Truths 36. Friendly Warning
Flora's POV I shake my head with trembling lips as Lucas continues to hold Me against himself still pointing that terrifying weapon against Damien. This is just too crazy. This is the literal description of a suicidal attempt against the person standing before us. I am not going to blame him though. He is only acting like this because he doesn't know what Damien is capable of. The evil atrocities he has the possibility of committing and the maniacal demonic thoughts he has in his mind for people that he intensely hates. From the look in his eyes, I can tell that he despises Lucas with every fabric of his being and must have already been thinking of endless ways to probably sniff off his life instantly. I turn to look at Lucas, trying to see if I can get his attention to stop what he is doing, but he is not even looking at me. He seems pretty determined to kick him off the boat. "I am serious about this Damien. If you do not leave this boat I'm going to fucking blow your brains

Lucas' POV I watch as the stupid dumb bastard finally lifts both of his hands as if surrendering or something but I am not going to easily fall for his parlor tricks just yet. He smiles as he shakes his head and slowly begins to step out of the basement. " Okay okay. It's all right please don't shoot me. There is no cause for alarm. As you wish, I'm going to step out of the boat, and I'm not going to attack you anymore or disturb your peace. "" Carry your filthy bodyguards along with you. " I say sharply and watch as he claps his hands. The bodyguards, who had been lying down on the ground all the while due to the intense pain I Inflicted on them, begin to get up slowly, still gripping their aching bodies as they, one by one, slowly begin to step out of the basement. He thinks I am a fool. He doesn't know that I have been in this game for a very long time and I know how tricky bastards like him operate. I know when they are at their weakest and when they are at their strongest.

Lucas' POV I stumble over to the bar to notice the endless dents of bullet marks all grazing the wall everywhere and it makes me clench my fist tight.Yep, this is going to need some Express intensive renovation that I will have to organize later, but now is not the time for that.I sigh and then shake my head before bending down to pick up one of the beer bottles that has already been smashed and littered all over the floor. I pick up my head and glance at the shattered bottle in my hand before rolling my eyes and then tossing the bottle elsewhere. "I apologize for this mess." I quickly turn around to see her standing directly in front of me with a frightened and worried expression on her face but I am so not ready to deal with her right now. Her case is another time. "I'm going to need some time to myself. I have a lot of things to work on." I say immediately and notice the slight frown that graces her features but I am not ready to think about that. Maybe she should sit back
최신 업데이트 : 2024-11-27Tangled Truths 39. Don't Want To See You
Lucas' POV I find myself scaling through all different sections of the boat with worry in my mind and a heavy heart only to discover that her presence is nowhere to be found. I'm seriously having a hard time trying to grasp the possibility of that. How the hell did she just walk away and then vanish within the blink of an eye never to be found again in every section I go to? It is not like the boat is that large for her to just disappear and become difficult to locate. What the hell is going on? The worry in my mind is so excessive I can't even think or process any other thing else. After taking my time to try and relax and sort out the plans I want to make I have been having a very hard time focusing after realizing that I might have been probably a little bit too harsh to her. I shouldn't have shouted like that as her and I deeply regret it. If only I could just figure out where she went because my mind is killing me with excessive guilt. "What the hell are you Flora?" I find
최신 업데이트 : 2024-11-27Tangled Truths 40. Not Even Caring
Flora's POV To be honest, the anger I am feeling right now is just... I honestly have no words for it but I am not about to stress my mind in trying to explain it. I just know one thing and that thing is I don't want to see him right now. But why the hell is he fucking following me wherever I go? The moment I notice he is stepping close to me again, I quickly get up from the chair I'm sitting down and attempt to step out of the basement, but then he quickly takes hold of my hand, stopping him midway and spinning me to look at him instantly. "Let me go!!" I told him with all the anger in my veins as I struggled to break free from his grip, but it became tighter than anything I had ever felt, and I knew that he was more than determined, to keep me with him no matter what I did."Please just let me go look. As I have already said, I don't want to see you, please." " Are you seriously acting this annoyed or because of what I said? " he asks that particular frustrating question that

Tangled Truths Chapter 138: The Final Twist
The package arrives on a rainy Tuesday.No return address. No note. Just a small, meticulously wrapped box resting quietly on the mahogany desk inside Lucas Arden’s corner office—a sanctuary of power that overlooks the city he painstakingly rebuilt from the ruins of scandal and deception.Rain slides down the glass in thin, silver streaks. Thunder hums in the background. He stares at the package for a long moment, his expression unreadable, before reaching for the silver letter opener he hasn’t touched in weeks. He slices through the paper with slow precision, a subtle tightness in his jaw.Inside, nestled like a secret in a bed of crisp black tissue, is a book.A hardcover. Matte black jacket. White serif font.The Tangled TruthA NovelHe freezes.The title registers like a whisper in his bones. Familiar. Haunting.His gaze falls to the author’s name printed below the title in small, elegant script: F. H.His heartbeat falters.He sits down slowly, almost mechanically, and opens the
Tangled Truths Chapter 137: A Billionaire’s Legacy in Ashes
The fall is always louder than the rise.Damien Vance’s empire—once a towering monolith of luxury, influence, and power—crumbles in a blaze of disgrace. Headlines scream betrayal. His private jets are impounded. Offshore accounts frozen. International warrants flood in. The once-revered tycoon who dined with diplomats and kings now finds himself dragged through a gauntlet of indictments. The media flocks like vultures, circling his legacy as it burns."The Billionaire Who Built His Castle on Lies" blares across global news networks, each word another nail in the coffin of a reputation meticulously manufactured.Victoria Hale sits at the eye of the storm.No longer wrapped in designer gowns or commanding red carpets, she appears in court cuffed and sallow-faced. The courtroom buzzes like a hive, a theater of judgment packed with cameras and whispers. At the prosecution’s table, Serena sits tall in her tailored navy suit, eyes sharp and voice colder than the marble walls around her.She
Tangled Truths Chapter 136: The Goodbye
The hospital room is quiet now—eerily so.Gone are the rhythmic beeps of machines warning of danger. Gone is the sterile rush of nurses and the chaotic hum of life and death decisions. What remains is a stillness that feels like it’s holding its breath. A moment stretched thin by memory.Lucas sits upright in the hospital bed, a bandage wrapping his ribs, the white cotton stark against his bruised, olive-toned skin. His breath catches every time he shifts, a sharp pull in his side reminding him that pain means survival. That he’s alive.Alive because she saved him.Yet she’s not here.It’s been three days since Damien was dragged into federal custody, cuffed and broken beneath the weight of his own lies. Three days since Richard was paraded before a sea of flashing cameras and stunned reporters. The truth spilled out like blood—raw, unstoppable. Flora’s plan had worked. Her chessboard cleared. But Lucas?He still listens for her voice in every quiet moment.There are no calls. No mess
Tangled Truths Chapter 135: Her Final Move
The sound of sirens fades into the distance, no longer urgent, but lingering like the echo of a dying heartbeat. Red and blue lights strobe across the cracked marble floor of the Ashton estate, casting eerie shadows through broken windows. Officers drag Richard through the front entryway, his designer shirt torn, face bloodied, and wrists bound in steel.His eyes burn with betrayal. Hatred. But Flora stands firm.“Mark my words!” he shouts, twisting against his restraints. “You’ve made enemies you don’t even know exist!”Her expression doesn’t change. “Let them come,” she murmurs, her voice quiet but lethal. Her eyes follow him as he vanishes down the steps, swallowed by the flashing lights.As soon as the door swings shut behind him, she drops to her knees beside Lucas.His blood is all over her now, soaking her hands, smearing across her black pants. His shirt clings to his skin, dyed dark with crimson. His chest rises, shallow but steady. Barely.“Lucas, hey, stay with me,” she whi
Tangled Truths Chapter 134: The Deadly Choice
The sirens scream louder now, flashing lights slicing through the gloom, painting the crumbling estate in hues of red and blue. It should feel like rescue. Like justice. But to Flora, it feels like a final warning.Because the true danger isn’t outside. It’s here, inside these decaying walls. Inside the men she once trusted. The danger pulses through the air like a second heartbeat.Damien moves first. A blur of fury and precision, he launches at Richard without hesitation. His fist connects with Richard’s jaw in a brutal crack, sending the man stumbling into an old sideboard. Wood splinters and glass explodes, littering the floor with jagged debris. Flora screams as the violence erupts inches from her, the sound swallowed by the crashing chaos.Richard recovers with frightening speed. From beneath his coat, he draws a knife—not sleek or tactical, but ugly and vicious, made for tearing flesh, not ending fights cleanly.“You should’ve stayed out of this!” he snarls.Damien’s laugh is a
Tangled Truths Chapter 133: Endgame
The estate is old and forgotten—a crumbling remnant of wealth swallowed by creeping vines and heavy silence. Once opulent, it now stands like a ghost of itself, hollowed out by time and secrets. The kind of place where legacies go to die. The kind of place perfect for a reckoning.Flora stands in the grand, dusty main hall, dressed in black from head to toe. Her figure is still, almost statuesque, beneath the cracked chandelier that sways gently with the wind slipping through fractured windows. The air is cold, but her heartbeat is calm. Deliberate. Her eyes scan the space, sharp and unwavering.This place, she chose with care. Far from the noise of the city. Removed from surveillance. Forgotten by maps. It has blind spots, hidden corners, and dead zones—just like Damien prefers. But this time, it’s not his game. This time, she’s the one holding the pieces.Outside, gravel crunches beneath the weight of expensive tires.He’s here.Damien enters as if he owns the world. As if no ghost,
Tangled Truths Chapter 132: The Fall of Victoria
The news breaks like a thunderclap across the media landscape, exploding across every major outlet and social feed with merciless precision. Headlines blare from every screen, screaming in bold fonts and sensational tones: “Victoria Hale: Mistress of Money Laundering?” and “Damien Vance’s Queenpin Exposed.”Cafes, offices, lobbies, airports—every screen plays the same loops. Glitchy video clips, forensic screenshots, redacted emails bearing her unmistakable signature in looping, elegant scrawl. Secret wire transfers, altered invoices, encrypted files cracked wide open. Each detail surgically exposed. Each thread meticulously traced. The media feasts on it. The public, ravenous, consumes every scandalous bite.In the heart of the city, high above the noise, Victoria Hale watches it all unfold.She stands frozen in her penthouse suite, a glass of champagne trembling in her perfectly manicured hand. The television throws harsh light against her face, and for once, she doesn't glow in it.
Tangled Truths Chapter 131: Dangerous Liaisons
The knock comes late—soft, hesitant, but deliberate. It cuts through the silence like a thread pulled tight, taut with tension.Flora freezes at the terminal, her fingers suspended just above the keyboard. Code flickers across the screen, each blinking character casting fragments of light across her face. Her heart jumps, not from surprise, but from recognition. She knows who it is before the door even creaks open.Lucas steps inside.His presence fills the room like the return of a forgotten melody—familiar, haunting, comforting, and utterly misplaced in this sterile war zone of a tech suite. The air shifts with him, bringing something warmer, something dangerous.Flora rises slowly, spine straightening, jaw clenched tight. “You shouldn’t be here.”His gaze roams the room—bare walls, humming machines, a paper cup with long-cold coffee—but it always circles back to her. “I had to see you.”He closes the door behind him with a gentle click, but the intensity in his expression is anythi
