Tangled Truths 59. Stronger And Faster Than Anything
Flora's POV I gulp hard at serena's words as I continue to look at Damian who still looks like a little child trying to persuade his mom to get him something. he begins to step closer and from the expression on his face I can see determination and adamancy. "look, all I just want is for you to come back to me, okay? I have really missed you so much." desperacy is written all over his face as he makes a move Close towards me and attempts to take my hand but Serena pulls me backwards helping me to evade him as he continues to make his way closer and closer towards me. in fact the impression he is given right now is that he desperately wants me back or something and it is just making me feel so worried and confused. if he didn't actually care about me in the first place to go behind my back and take another woman as his wife, then what the living hell does he wants with me? this is just so crazy as hell and I can't contain the rage that is already brewing my mind as I glar
Last Updated : 2024-12-09Tangled Truths 60. Confusion
Flora's POVOkay so this is one of the most craziest things and the most freakish thing I have ever seen or experienced.I am seriously having a hard time trying to figure out why he is extremely this desperate to just get to me and achieve whatever stupid aim he has in his mind. I am left standing at a spot gazing at him with extremely wide eyes due to the shock passing through my body.Why is he insanely this desperate about getting to me this way?I watch him as he gazes at me with a malicious smile on his face adjusting his tuxedo and straightening the flower in his hands before slowly closing the door behind him." I am so sorry but I don't think you can get rid of me that easily This is a serious important issue that we need to talk about as the good people that we so do not make this extremely hard for the both of us."His composure presently at the moment is totally frightening as i and serena begin to step backwards examining him intensely in case he tries to do something c
Last Updated : 2024-12-09Tangled Truths 61. Can't Control At This Moment.
Flora's POV I bite hard against my bottom lip before tilting my head slowly to look at Serena. She also turns her head to look at me and I realize that I am not actually the only one feeling this enraging shock that is hitting straight into my bones right now. It's not like it's actually a bad thing that Lucas actually intervened and came to help us. In fact I am actually glad he did and I really want to walk up to him right now and hold him so tight to show him how much I appreciate his show up presently. But I did not just expect that he will suddenly come up after us and do this immediately after the way I treated him back at his estate.I find myself watching him as he stays at a position at the entrance of the building with his arms at his back. he gestures at the officer taking Damien away from us. Damien stops directly in front of him and scoffs before smirking at him. "I honestly do not see what you gain by doing this but you do know that this is just a waste of time righ
Last Updated : 2024-12-11Tangled Truths 62. I'm Trapped
Lucas' POV All things done and dusted I am extremely happy that that Damian of a fellow has been put back in his place and for a very considerable amount of time he won't be able to pester or disturb Flora anytime soon but I know that it is not just going to be the end. The misley little bastard like I have observed all this while is a very stubborn one that can be so infuriating and relentless when it comes to drastic dealings such as these. So I don't think I'm going to let my guard down even if for a few minutes. I stepped into the revolving door that leads to the threshold of my company while adjusting my tuxedo as the buttler standing at the door approaches me with a very calm smile on his face. "Good morning Mr Arden. Pleasure seeing you again anything I would like to do for you?" I roll my eyes at him and calmly wave my hand towards him with a fake plastic smile on my face. Yeah right. These door men who seem to try everything within their power to gain favors. They real

Flora's POV " Honestly I don't really see any good reason why you should be bothering yourself this much about that guy. I know that you guys must have actually been classmates back in your high school days but Jesus is the lord wake up and live your life in the real world flora okay? you can't just spark up a single connection just meeting him about how many days ago. It just doesn't work that way."I furrow my eyebrows and slowly tilt my head to glance at Serena seated beside me talking as always like the little mother that she is trying to control my actions once again and it makes me exhale trying my best to be cool as much as I can. I really do not want to talk about this right now but the way she is so persistent about it is already getting on my nerves. It's not like I had actually done anything to warrant this discussion. I was only bothered about the fact that I'm feeling extremely guilty right now for treating Lucas the way I did back at that estate. I mean I really have
Last Updated : 2024-12-12Tangled Truths 64. Bastard!!
Lucas' POVI remain at a spot on the chair examining the devious devil standing directly in front of me laying against my table and fumbling with a few documents examining them as though he wants to attend to them or something. "So now that we have come to an agreement that you are presently under my care and completely powerless without any means to go against me I think we can settle down as men and talk one on one like we should so we can discuss the next phase of the plan and see how things are really going to go this time." I grind my teeth together with fury clenching my fist tight as I think of a way to evade this situation. Good lord he's really damn smart then I anticipated. I knew it wasn't going to be that hard and it is just going to be a piece of cake for him to evade the trap I placed a few minutes ago but I never expected that he was actually going to escape it this fast and then come back with a massive super fast retaliation plan that has kept me trapped I can't e
Last Updated : 2024-12-13Tangled Truths 65. Dangerous Schemes
Flora's POV I grind my teeth together with extreme cold fury while I continue to pace up and down all over the sitting room with my mind finding it hard to comprehend everything that Serena has just explained to me.This is one of the all-time biggest secrets of the year and hearing about it right now has actually set all the last remaining pieces of the puzzle I have been trying to work on all this while. It is now that I have actually figured out and realize why things have actually been the way they have been. This is just crazy. So he has actually been fucking using me all this while? I am nothing but a mere pawn in his hands that he can just turn around and do as a scapegoat whenever he wants to escape all his evil perpetuations. So he is the master mind behind the dark dealings, that nearly ended the lives of 80% of inhabitants in the local part of this city, which the government have been trying to battle for years??Jesus lord, that particular fact is really driving me cr

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
