“Your father killed him,” the vigour in his tone told Flora how much he hated her father and now she finally understood why? But did her father really kill him? No, her papa could never hurt a child…. never ever. “Armando was just a 15 years old teenager when your father killed him and it was just because he was the son and the heir of Bernard Zelvasco….a man your father used to consider as his enemy,” rage scorched in each and every vein inside his body as his mind started recollecting the painful flashes of his destructive past which had forced him to become the nefarious person he was today. Flora had turned into a complete statue. She didn't know what to say to him in return, so she just continued to listen to what he had to reveal about his past to her and that revelation was breaking her apart. She was still not ready to believe at all that her father could kill a child in his rivalry, no matter what. “My mother died when I was just 2 years old due to a heart condition and my
Their eyes collided and by seeing those tears in her eyes, he understood she had heard everything. It made him ball his fists more vigorously. “Leave, Kester,” his voice sounded extremely calm and composed but his bloodshed gaze made Flora understand it clearly that now the last string of his endurance had broken up finally.Exhaling a soft sigh, Kester looked at Flora and then at him. “You both need to take your next step carefully and fast before it would be too late,” Kester uttered and they both understood what he actually meant. After that, Kester left from that room, leaving them alone with each other.After Kester left, Flora saw him walking closer to her. His eyes refused to leave hers, even for a single second. He reached her in a couple of strides.Flora lowered her eyes as soon as she found him standing in front of her but she could clearly feel his gaze on her. She thought he was going to burst out at her but he proved her wrong with his next words.“Tell me, Ora. I want
The car halted in front of her home which made Flora step out of the car. As soon as she stepped outside, she saw her father and uncle Dario standing at the door, waiting for her. Their gazes were glued at her.Automatically tears brimmed in her eyes, as soon as she saw her father. She couldn't even tell through words what she was exactly feeling at that moment. Without wasting any further second, Flora ran towards her father and hugged him as tightly as possible. Flora broke down into tears in her father's arms which made Riccardo wrap his arms around his child securely and protectively. He finally felt that relief of having his child in his arms, safe and secure.No words came out of their mouths because at that moment that father and daughter just needed to embrace each other. That father needed to securely cage his child in his arms whereas for the child, she needed her father's embrace to feel safe, secure and alive.“P….papa,” Flora whimpered while burying her face more deep ins
“Your momma went into a coma the second she found out about your abduction,” gathering all his courage, Riccardo finally dared to tell that thing about a mother to her child.Slowly tilting her head, Flora looked at her father with her reddened glossy eyes and it hurt Riccardo even more. He knew this was going to be difficult but he had not anticipated it to turn so painful. He was seeing his child breaking so badly by seeing her mother in a condition like that and he was not capable of doing anything to stop that pain from engulfing his family. He was feeling extremely helpless at that moment.“When I got to know about your abduction, I tried to hide it from your momma because I knew she wouldn't be able to endure it but when you stopped taking her phone calls and she couldn't reach you, Aniya became suspicious that something had happened to you and….” He paused, feeling it extremely agonising to say those things to his daughter again.Like a statue, Flora continued to gaze at her fa
“You will not harm aunt Aubrey and Ameline, papa,” Flora said to Riccardo. Her watery eyes were fixed at her father. The second her uncle Dario entered their parents’ bedroom with that tension laced face, she understood something was not right and after her father left with him, her suspicion confirmed, so she made one of the staff member stay with her mother and she followed her father and uncle Dario and here she found what was the actual matter here. Her father was planning on killing Aubrey and Ameline which she couldn't let happen at any cost.Flora stepped inside the studyroom and then walked straight towards her father. She stood in front of him.“Free them, papa. Please, don't hurt them,” Flora requested her father, holding back her tears.For a brief moment, Flora witnessed her father staring at her in complete silence. He didn't utter a single word to her, like her words or her behaviour startled and stunned him. Somehow, he looked at her in disbelief, like he couldn't beli
“Everything will get completely alright very soon, Rican,” Noelle told her best friend, Rican. Both the teenagers were present inside Flora's room who was still sleeping and they both were taking care of her together as Rican wanted to stay with his sister and Noelle didn't want to leave her best friend alone in a tough situation like this when he needed her.“Don't be disheartened, please,” she said to him while placing her palm over Rican's shoulder who was sitting beside Flora on the bed. His chocolate brown eyes were fixed at his sleeping sister's face where he noticed those dried up tears stains on her both cheeks which were telling him how much tears his sister had shedded from those closed eyes of hers. She had cried herself to her sleep.“Sissy is here finally and I am sure, now aunt Aniya will wake up too then everything will get alright. Just don't lose hope please,” Noelle tried to give him comfort through her words as she knew he needed them. Rican didn't answer back but h
“The progress is extremely good this time in Mrs Alfanso's health,” the doctor uttered while checking Aniya. Flora and Riccardo were also present there inside the room.“Hopefully if this continues to proceed like this then very soon, she will be fully recovered and will wake up too,” A smile formed on Flora's face whereas Riccardo's throbbing heart filled with a little calmness finally, hearing the doctor's words that Aniya was going to be completely alright very soon.“Her reports are also good. Hopefully, she will get back her senses very soon,” the doctor said while looking at Riccardo. He nodded at the doctor who came to their home for Aniya's regular checkup to make sure about her speedy and correct recovery of her health.“I will come back tomorrow at the same time. Take care,” Riccardo dipped his head at the doctor after hearing her and then she left that room.Both Riccardo and Aniya walked towards the bed and stood beside it. Flora saw her father sitting beside her mother.
Dashing out of that room, Flora ran towards that hall from where those gunshots were coming from and when she reached there, her soul froze by seeing that dreadful scenario in front of her eyes. Dozens of men had surrounded her father whose one hand was bleeding badly. He was standing there, completely defenceless against those dozens of men who were fully armed. All of their guns and weapons were pointing straight at her father and due to that reason, her father's men had to drop all their weapons and surrender in order to make sure of the safety of their boss’s life. One of those men was standing behind her father and the barrel of his gun was pressed against the back of her father's head. All of that numbed her heart but it filled her head with rage….pure rage. “Leave him….. right now,” Flora screamed out of her lungs, making every single head turn in her direction. Storming towards her father, she stood in front of him and that was where she noticed that the man who was pressin
