I come out of the car as I park in front of the newest and most popular florist shop in town. The only florist shop that excludes sophistication and elegance. It’s mine, in case you are curious about that. I press the remote of the car, making sure the car is properly locked. I walk patiently, with my red silhouette heels, towards my shop. Since I gave birth to my kids, I have been able to pick myself up again and make use of the money Zac sent me through Diana. I knew I wasn’t going to get another favor like I did; I meant getting that kind of huge amount again. Opportunity comes once in a lifetime, they say, so I grabbed the opportunity and used the money to fulfill one of my biggest dreams. Which was being a florist and a brand where I could stock all the most beautiful flowers in the universe and be the first to set my eyes on the beauties. “Good morning, ma’am Lily.” Flora beams as I step in through the thick glass door. She is early as always and has already arranged most of

Pelars steps away from the door so I can see whoever it is that is at the door.She raises her brow, using eye contact, to say, ‘Who is he?’ My hand goes cold as I see who it is.It’s the man from earlier, the one who asked if I was okay and needed to talk after I did wipe my tears with the handkerchief he offered me.“ What? Did you follow me here?” I yell at him, as the first thing that emits from my chest is anger.I stare at his coffee brown eyes as he looks innocent, like someone who means no harm, but hell no, you can never trust their looks.They can be heartless if they want to, and their looks are just a form of disguise.“I’m sorry I had to. With the way you lashed out at me earlier, it got me so curious about what my gender has done to you.” He gulps calmly as he speaks; his voice isn’t hoarse or deep like Charlie's, but it has the calmness in it that makes you want to hear more of it.My stomach flips as I take him in; he has brown, short, curly hair; he is about 6’5 feet

I walk through the thick glass door, sauntering into the shop, as I spot Flora trimming some flowers as usual and properly arranging them in a transparent vessel.I hasten my step with the high black heel I wore, coupled with the black long dress and a red hat. I take out my dark shade and drop the hat on my table, including my handbag, while I prepare to take care of these beauties.“ Hey.” I holler; she isn’t even aware of the time I step in, as she is so focused on the Nicotiana flower, cutting the stems.“Holy Shit! When did you step in?” She gasps as she widens her eyes in anguish.“You need to be more active, Flora. What if it was a customer who stepped in to steal? Anyway, you are lucky there are cameras in the shop. Between, how have things been?” I sigh, walking near her.“It’s been going pretty well." She glances at me and smiles, but stops smiling as she pays attention to my eyes."Are you good, Lily?” She asks as her eyes narrow at me.I gaze at the expression on her face

Charlie POVWhen she finally stopped giving me the deadly glare, she spoke up. “I finally found the Lily you lied about.” She scoffs a wild laugh from her lips.It's as if the hair at the back of my neck stands immediately. “ Lily?” I think out loud, startling her more by whispering her name.“Fuck, who is the florist to you?” She blurts out, tears rolling down on each side of her eyes as she lays flat on the bed.I’m tempted to move closer to her, but the way she stares at me gets my feet glued to the same spot. She has every right to feel this way because she’s just lost something precious to her. Her womb—I understand she can’t imagine not being able to give birth again. I know it hurts, but we can push our way through; we can adopt babies anytime, and that wouldn’t make me love her less. But at this point, she is in her worst mood ever.“ What?” My eyes narrow as her questions drum in my head. I’m shocked that she has truly found her, and Lily is now a florist.I quickly take out

The Uber stops in front of the biggest supermarket in town, and then I spot my kids with Pelars and a stranger guy who nearly looks like the one on the CCTV, standing in front of them, stopping them from moving.I paid up the driver and got down from the car, frowning in disgust and clenching on my teeth until I walked up to them.My kids come running to me as soon as they spot me close enough. “What’s going on here?” I demand it immediately.“We have an order from our boss to prevent you from moving until he arrives. I’m sorry for the inconveniences, but I have to do so as I am ordered.” He lowers his head at me, but he receives a sudden slap across his tight jawline before he takes his head back up.“You have no right to fucking stop us, and I fucking do not care about your boss!” I try to push him away from in front of my kids, but his colleagues, who are also dressed like him in all black suits, stop me from moving out.“Do you want me to fucking call the cops on you?” I growl alr
