Flora's POV

Goddess. Why the hell is this just so freaking hard to stop. I wonder to myself as I wrap my arms tight around his neck, kissing him relentlessly as he gropes my ass and squeezes me tight, pulling me closer to himself.

I can feel his budge rubbing relentlessly against my thighs forcing me to groan as I cling tightly against his hair.

Great Lord. Why is it so hard to stop?

Our voices come out in shivers as we continue to romance each other crazily as if we have never been this intimate before.

I don't even know what is wrong with me. I don't know why I can't stop. The force that I am feeling between the both of us is so energetic and so powerful.

God it is driving me crazy.

He then briskly begins to trail his warm lips through my cheek, then to my neck, and then my chest.

Fuck.

This forces me to moan as I arch my back and then cling tightly to his hair. He trails his tongue down towards my cleavage.

"Oh God. Ahh." I find myself whispering as he begins to slide his palm through my thighs.

What the hell are you doing Flora? Break free from this man. It's not like you have known him so well to allow him to be touching you this much!!! My inner consciousness is screaming at me loudly but I feel so weak.

God, I have never felt so powerless in my life.

I quickly break free from him and attempt to push him away.

"Okay, we need to stop. we shouldn't be doing this." I say but then he is so relentless.

He continues to romance me crazily, attempting to pull down the handle of my clothing, but I pull it back up and push from me forcefully.

He looks at me. The shock that is written all over his face tells me he did not expect me to do that.

Why wouldn't he expect me to do that? This is just freaking crazy. How the hell did I not think about it before attention to act so stupid?

For heaven's sake, we haven't seen each other for almost God knows how long, and I am just meeting him now, and we are already going all smoochy over each other.

This is so freaking insane.

I adjust myself and get down from the basin, managing to shove him aside as I attempt to make my way towards the door, but he takes hold of my hand.

"I am so sorry okay? Please forgive me. Let's not separate like this. I'm not going to touch you anymore please."

" I'm so sorry Lucas. But I have to go okay? This reunion was nice, but well, I don't know. I'm just not ready right now, please. My friend is coming and she might be in the restaurant already.

You can't blame me. I can't even begin to explain how my body feels right now. I feel confused. I feel extreme chaos raging deep down within my system. I feel like I am about to go insane.

What the hell did he freaking do to me? Why did it feel like he already had all the control in the world all over my body?

God I want to run away. I feel so embarrassed.

I am chuckling nervously as I try to break my hand free from his but he is not willing to let go.

"Lucas, please, I beg you. You have to let me go okay? you are only making things worse if you keep on holding me like this." I tell him with so much seriousness in my voice and it seems that that worked a little bit because he suddenly stops.

"Okay then so where can I see you next time?" he asks.

" I don't know. I'm not sure about that okay?"

" Can I get your number then?" he requests after that and this forces me to pause.

He doesn't give up, does he?

I think about it quickly. Should I give him my number?

I am still thinking about this when I begin to hear Serena's voice echoing loudly all over the hallway right outside the restroom.

Oh great she is already here. That's so quick.

I smile at him and do the very one thing I did not expect myself to do

I wink.

His eyes go wide, but we are not giving any room for the next course of action when the restroom door suddenly slams open, and Serena reveals herself in all her forceful, heartless, angry glory.

"Flora!?" she screams out loud. "are you okay?" she steps in and begins to examine me like a mother and look for her lost child.

Then her gaze diverts towards Lucas standing a few meters behind me.

"What have you done to her? Were you trying to rape her in here?" she screams and walks past me.

Oh great, I think I need to hold her, but I am not given the chance because the next thing she does forces me to gasp.

She steps towards Lucas and takes hold of his suit before giving him a very hard punch in the face.

Oh, my good Lord. I did not see that one coming.

"Serena, you need to calm down, okay? he didn't do anything!!" I scream out loud and struggle to pull her away from him.

Lucas stumbles backward and places his palm against his cheek with shock evident on his face.

It appears that he did not expect that to happen.

I turn to Serena with embarrassment trying my best to calm her down.

"Please just relax. he is just an old friend from college. I'm sorry I haven't told you about him before. he is only here with me because he was he was trying to console me. I promise you that nothing happened." I say immediately and watch as her expression suddenly turns soft.

She must have been blinded by her anger previously because she suddenly examines him deeply.

"Wow, that's a very nice suit. That brand is one of a kind and only has three pieces all over the whole world. How the hell are you able to get such?"

  • Tangled Truths   Chapter 181: New Beginnings (BONUS CHAPTER)

    The late afternoon sun bathes the Arden estate's sprawling garden in a golden glow that seems to transmute everything it touches into something precious. Laughter drifts across the manicured lawn where four crystal glasses catch the light, raised in a toast beneath the canopy of an ancient oak tree that has witnessed generations of the Arden family's triumphs and sorrows."To surviving the impossible," Serena announces, her usually stern demeanor softened by genuine happiness. The past year has transformed her—she stands with a confidence that comes not from her association with the Arden empire but from her own accomplishments. The law firm she founded has already taken on three high-profile whistleblower cases, earning her a reputation as a formidable advocate for those who dare to speak truth to power."To new beginnings," Lucas adds, his gaze immediately seeking Flora's. His hand rests protectively on the pronounced curve of her belly, where their child has been making increasingl

  • Tangled Truths   Chapter 180: Epilogue: Truth Reclaimed

    The ballroom of the Grand Meridian Hotel buzzes with anticipation, a sea of reporters and cameras stretching toward the empty podium at the front of the room. Sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long rectangles of light across the polished marble floor, illuminating dust motes that dance in the air like miniature constellations. The murmur of conversation ebbs and flows—speculation, theories, and whispered rumors about what revelations this highly anticipated press conference might bring.In a private anteroom adjacent to the ballroom, Lucas Arden adjusts his tie with steady hands that bear no trace of the tremor that plagued him during his recovery. Eight weeks have transformed him from the pale, weakened figure in a hospital bed to this—a man reclaiming his power, his purpose, his truth. The elegant charcoal suit drapes perfectly across shoulders that have regained their strength through grueling physical therapy sessions that left him exhausted but determined

  • Tangled Truths   Chapter 179: Resurrection

    Consciousness returns to Lucas not in a sudden rush, but in gentle waves that lap against the shores of awareness. Sound reaches him first—the subtle hum of medical equipment, the distant murmur of voices in the corridor, and closer, more immediate, a voice that pulls at something deep within him. Flora's voice. The cadence and tone are unmistakable, even before his brain can process the words themselves."...and Alex says the encryption on Mira's files is the most sophisticated he's ever encountered, but he's making progress," she's saying, her words carrying a strength that wasn't there the last time he heard her speak. "He thinks another day or two before he can access the complete network."*Flora is awake. Flora is speaking. Flora is alive.*The realization crashes through Lucas with such force that his body responds before his mind can fully catch up. His fingers twitch against the crisp hospital sheets, his breathing pattern changes, and the cardiac monitor beside his bed regis

  • Tangled Truths   Chapter 178: Reawakening

    Light filters through Flora's consciousness like sunlight penetrating deep water—distant at first, then it gradually intensifies until it becomes impossible to ignore. The darkness that has enveloped her for weeks begins to fracture, shards of awareness breaking through the comfortable void. Sounds reach her first: the rhythmic beeping of medical equipment, the soft shuffle of rubber-soled shoes against polished floors, hushed voices speaking in clinical terminology she recognizes but cannot quite process.Pain follows awareness—not the sharp, overwhelming agony she vaguely remembers from before the darkness claimed her, but a dull, persistent ache that radiates from her skull outward, as if her brain itself is bruised. Her eyelids feel impossibly heavy, weighted down by weeks of disuse, but something within her—some fundamental survival instinct—urges her to fight through the fog.The first attempt fails. The second produces only the briefest flicker before exhaustion reclaims her. O

  • Tangled Truths   Chapter 177: One Breath Away

    The medical ship *Asclepius* rocks gently on the midnight swells, its white hull gleaming under the watchful gaze of a waning moon. Within its sterile corridors, the hushed efficiency of the medical staff creates a counterpoint to the chaos of the past twenty-four hours. The scent of antiseptic hangs heavy in the air, a constant reminder of precarious mortality that no amount of expensive air filtration can fully eliminate.Serena stands in the narrow hallway between two private medical suites, her normally impeccable appearance showing signs of strain. Her hair has escaped its usual sleek confinement, wisps framing a face pale with exhaustion and worry. The silk blouse she's worn for nearly two days is creased beyond salvation, small rust-colored stains marking where Lucas's blood transferred from her hands despite her desperate attempts to staunch the flow as the medevac helicopter rushed them to the ship.Through the observation window on her left, she watches Lucas's unconscious f
