Isabella Grey. Bella's flower shop. I read the sign as I held my head low and entered the overly sweet shop.
'What? Don't tell me she spray perfumes in the air to make people think her flowers smelt good, and how does anyone even stand the stink of this place?'I strolled around, following behind Isabella the blonde without her noticing.This place is shabby, so was sign, and the owner. Fitting.'She should change the name to tacky.'I looked at the smiling portrait she had at the back, close to the cash register. Which gave a small insight about the florist and wanna be wedding planner. I could easily crush her dreams, open my own flower shop and steal all the customers, though it doesn't seem as if she gets much. She didn’t even have much flowers either, nothing but a hurry come up business.I ran my fingers over a few flowers, pricking my index finger along the way.After convincing Felix that I don’t need company and getting home, I took a shower then got dressed in a strapless wine red evening gown that had a long split in the side. Pairing it with my second favourite red bottoms and a red clutch purse. I pulled my hair up in a half pony tail, securing it with a black diamond studded clip. I smacked my lips together after applying red lipstick. I have a date around town, and by date I meant to sit by myself, enjoying the lovely evening at the Grey Goose Lounge. Thanks to Felix and his chat with Isabella, I knew where to have dinner tonight. I spritz perfume on my neck and wrist, then stared at myself in the mirror before adding my final touch. Instead of using my own car, I got one of my father's drivers to bring me to the restaurant. "Darren, can you drive by Russell's place? I want to see if he is at home and would like to join me and my friend." But when we got there, Russell'
If it wasn't for Isabella screeches, I wouldn't have known that her date left. Leaving her to foot the bill. I watched as she became historically as I ate my Hasselback Tomato Caprese. Enjoy every bite. "Excuse me." I fanned a waiter down as he walked by. "Miss Walker?" "Sorry, but what is happening?" "Oh, her date left her with a three hundred-dollar bill." "Oh wow. Can she pay?" "I- I don't know." I nodded, "tell you what. I'll pay for her. No woman should go through such a- insult. Also, can I get another bottle of Leroy Domaine d'Auvenay Mazis and my dessert to go?" "Uh, of course." The waiter came back with my check, and Isabella's, along with my wine and dessert. "Imagine if he saw the twelve thousand dollars and some change I have to pay for my food." I laughed as I signed the cheques. "And please, keep me anonymous." I watched as Isabella dried her eyes and hugged the wait
Now I was too panicked to sleep, plus my mind was racing from thinking about who could have possibly been in my house. As I lay on the ground, biting the acrylics off my fingernails, I went over the names of all my exes in my head. Also, all the men that I have turned down. But always came up short, there were none that I could think of. But honestly, there was someone I could assume, even though I pushed their name to the back of my mind where it belonged. I curled into a ball with my knees to my chest. There are plenty of people out there that would want to kill me. And for good reasons too, most are my father's rivals and ex business partners. The rest didn't matter, and shouldn't matter, because there was no way they could reach me. Again I lay on my back, with my phone above my face, wondering who it could have been. "Who could have been so brave to enter my house." I asked myself. "I need security, but I can't let daddy know abou
"Yes, sorry. But how, maybe a gas leak?" "You have to think bigger. Go fly or die." "Literally." "Nerium Oleander," the both of us said at the same time. "God, I'm brilliant." We said together again. "It would be perfect. It will seem as if she mistakenly picked the poisonous flower." The other me said. "It's not an accident. She doesn't know a rat's ass about flowers." I responded. "True. But we have to be careful when handling the Nerium Oleander. One wrong move and that's it for us as well." "I know just what to do." I smiled. The other me tried to peek into my phone. I hid my phone in my chest. "No peeking, but I think I can sneak the flower into her air vent. Just breathing it in can cause health problems." "We are a genius." "Aren't we?" The both of us laughed. "This bitch will get what she deserves." I said. I didn't realize that my office door was being pus
When I got back to my office, I did a research on Nerium Oleander. How to extract it and handle it so that I don't get affected as well.(Everyone who meets this blossom wants to pick it. The crimson and creamy petals are appealing and magnificent. However, it’s not worth even breathing its odour. It may cause serious health problems. The plant is fully poisonous.) "Shit, I might just leave this in her shop, let it cause a few deaths, and get her put away. She knows nothing about flowers and, this would be perfect." "But wouldn't it be better if you boil it into tea and offer her some? Maybe even put it in her water?" The other me said, coming through the office door, eating peanuts. "That is a better idea." "What would you do without me?" I clicked through different web pages to see where I could find my new favourite flowers. But all they led me to places that have destroyed them. "The black market is always a good idea."
When Russell rolled off of me, he left me unsatisfied and in pain. 'Is this what it is like to fall out of love with someone?' 'Did I turn my mind against him because of Isabella?' 'I bet that's it, and when she is out of the way. We will get back to normal.' When I woke up from my little nap, my head was pounding and the place was spinning. 'Shit.' I tried to sit up in the bed, only to fall back over with a groan. 'What is happening to me?' I lay there for a while, waiting for the headache to ease a bit, when it did. I got up and stumbled over to my bag, where I took out my epipen, stabbing myself in the thigh. “’God.’’ I cried, but soon I was staring to feel better. "Russell?" I called out, but my voice was hoarse. "Russ!" I tried again, fumbling to put my clothes on. I walked around his apartment, but he was gone. All I could do was stumble until I made my way out of his place
'What the fuck just happened?' I tried to wrap my head around what happened. There was no way those three could have been in my house for no reason. They couldn't have just known where I lived. They must have followed me. Then I thought back, it was Jake that was here. It must have been him and I thought that it was-. 'How foolish of me?' That little snake, but he will get what is coming to him. I will make him regret ever crossing me. I make my way to my panic room to look at the security footages. Good thing they didn't seem to know my code, or where my panic room was. 'I really need security. But I don't want to alarm daddy.' 'Where is me when I need me?' I sped up the video, trying to see what time they came here and how long they have been in my house before I came. 'There.' I watched as Jake came through the main gate, which the only way he could was if he knew the code, or hacked i
'Did he? Did he know his friends would have broken into my house. Was he supposed to be here with them too?' 'Was that why he was gone?' 'Can I even trust him?' "So you didn't then." Felix said, falling back into his chair. "I- well." I said, then bit burger. "What if he put them up to this? Told Jake hw to get into your house." I didn't respond; it was as if Felix was reading my mind. "Did you tell your father?" Felix got up to flip down on the bed that was in the room. "No. My father would lock me up and never let me see the light of day, thinking he was protecting me from the dangers of the world." "Damn, I thought you would have told bae or even papa bear." I gave Felix a look; he knew how much I hated that stupid name, baby, bae, babe. I rather to call Russell by his correct name. I loved the way it rolled off my tongue. 'Russell.' "Next time, if they do it again. Call the co
