Marigold POV
“You are not helping the matter with your cries, Stella,” I told her, calmly.
She scoffed softly and wiped her tears with the hem of her blue blouse.
“Then what do you want me to do?” She asked.
I sighed and moved closer to her on the long couch. I tucked my hair behind my ear and placed her hand on mine.
“Everything will be fine Stella, Flora will be found soon” I assured. She swats my hand away and stood on her feet, boiling with rage. “This is all your fault, Marigold!” She fired, a little frown crept on my face upon hearing that.
I also stood on my feet, staring at her.
“How is it my fault?” I murmured.“If you had not demanded for her hand in another marriage, she wouldn't have left this house” She barked, I rolled my eyes. “And how's that my fault?” I asked nonchalantly and folded my arms.
“If you had not done
Zayn POV.I squinted my eyes open and yawned loudly.I felt a slender hand wrapped around my stomach; I tilted my head and found the b!tch grinning very hard to me.I rolled my eyes and scoffed scornfully.“Why are you still here?” I asked her while taking her hand off me.She sat upright and tucked the loose strand of her colored hair, beaming with all smiles.“You were so good Zayn, I can't literally feel my legs anymore” She chortled while moving closer to me.I crawled out of the bed and picked my briefs from the floor. I heard her groan, I turned to her swiftly. “I shouldn't meet you here,” I told her icily and grabbed the bathroom doorknob. “Zayn” She called.I ignored her and stepped into the bathroom.“Good morning Zayn” Miss Rosaline greeted with her loving smile, but I just nodded and dragged a chair backward.I took my seat and watch as s
Zayn POV.“Where's the lady, Zayn?” He asked impatiently, standing on his feet.He looks perturbed.Not only that, but he grabbed my arm and I frowned.“Just tell me Zayn” He shook me aggressively, and I breathe out.“Uhm… She is”.“Hey Zayn” I heard Reid's voice and I turned.“F**k you man! You kept me waiting,” I complained as he approached us.“I'm sorry, buddy, that bi**ch really consumed the whole me” he winked at me and I shook my head.“Anyway, meet Ryder, an old friend. I think I've mentioned him to you before, right?” I reminded, and he nodded curtly as he offered a handshake to Ryder.“Ryder, this is Reid- we are more than friends,” I told him, and he smiled as they both shook hands.“It's my pleasure, Reid,” Ryder said.“Same here bro” Reid replied with smiles.
Zayn POV.I marched into the club, the blaring music from the speaker began to hit my ears.I stood rooted, with my eyes searching around for Lucas.“Hi Zayn” one of the bitchy around called seductively; striding closer to where I was standing. I huffed and walked past her.“So grumpy” She mumbled, but I heard it.Abruptly, I turned to her, and I watched as she gulped nervously.“Have you seen Lucas around?” I asked her coldly, she nodded curtly. “B!tch” I also muttered, but audibly for her to hear.I walked into the club, ignoring every eyes on me; I was definitely not here because of that.Someone nudged my left arm from behind, and I swiveled around to look at the person.Oh,It's Nick.“What's up man?” He shook my hand, I only nodded. He's not a bad kid;He has been working for Lucas for a long time now.“Is Lucas around?&rd
Flora POVI could feel a hot but steady breath fanning against my face, I slowly opened my eyes and found Zayn crouched in front of me. Immediately, I felt a wave of current washed over me. Oh my, what was that?Our eyes locked, and believe me, I preferred not to look away from this breathtaking face. Gosh! Who created this man? When I was finding it so difficult to breathe, I gulped down nothing and wanted to peel my eyes away, but he had already beat me to it. He got on his feet and tucked his hands in his trouser pocket. When did he arrive, though?“You don't sleep here” He said in his usual cold voice, I gulped nervously as I also stood on my feet.How do I tell him I was actually waiting for his arrival, I don't know the reason, though.Perhaps it's because he didn't eat anything before he left the house this morning.“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to,” I said slowly with my eyes on my feet.
Flora POV“Hey Miss” I heard a voice behind me, I rapidly turned to look.Instantaneously, My heart hammered inside my chest at the sight before me.Oh, my world! Who's this beauty?The ray of the sun shines brightly to his Blondie hair. He's clad in a simple blue t-shirt with a black shorts; his moist pink lips was what I couldn't describe.Gosh!His emerald eyes stares directly into mine, I swallowed hard, “Uhm… Hi,” I managed to mumble, looking away from his impeccable face. “I'm sorry for bothering you Miss, but I need your help”He began, but I only nodded, avoiding to look at his face.“I can't find my way back to my estate, I mean I'm new to this environment” He quickly added, I put on a smile and began, “I'm new here also Mr., as you can see, I wanted to dump this garbage, but I don't even have an idea where the recycle bin is” I explained to him, he mou
Zayn POV“And since when did you start keeping friends in the neighborhood?” I asked her coldly with my hands in my trouser pocket.The fear plastered on her face was now prominent, but I do not care right now, I mean I'd to leave what I was doing just to come check on her and to my utmost surprise, I met her talking with some street random guy. She even had to laugh with him, revealing her perfect dentition. The f**k.When she had never shown me her smile before. Damn!She gulped nervously and slowly looked up to my face again.“I…met him…on my way to the… Recycle bin” She stuttered in a very low voice, I shook my head. “I thought you were not feeling well, who asked you to do that?” I reprimanded her, but she just stared at her feet.This girl sure needs to go back to high school.“I'm sorry” She apologized, I scoffed.Without sparing h
Zayn POVI flickered my eyes open when I heard my phone buzzes from the nightstand.Geez!When did I even fall sleep?I crawled out of the bed and picked it up.It's Ryder.I slide the answer icon and pressed the phone to my ear."What's up man, I've been calling you for ages" I heard him say, I sighed. I opened my mouth to talk, "Just make the gate open already, I'll drive in now" He added, beating me to what i wanted to say.Wow..He's here already.I dropped my phone inside my trousers pocket, I put on my slippers and walk out of the room.I got to the electronic device down the hallway and have it controlled so he could drive in.And with that, I walked outside to welcome him. I watched as he drive his white Bentley into the compound.He parked his car among other cars in the garage and stepped out.With my hands in my pocket, I watched as he adjuste
Flora POVAfter narrating everything to Zayn, I mean without hiding anything; how I got married to Ryder's brother at a very tender age, and how Ryder's parent and my mum are planning to give me out to Ryder again.Zayn's face turned to rage as he stood up from the stool;I also rose to my feet as I watch his rage face.He stormed out of my room and I gulped nervously; without been told, I know this won't be good.I pace my room frantically;hoping everything will be alright.I heard noises from the living room and my heart beat race.Oh my goodness.I rushed out of the room and look down from the hallway to see Ryder and Zayn yelling at each other in the living room.“Just get out of my house Ryder and never come back,” Zayn roared.“Get Flora here, you punk!” Ryder retorted, and I swallowed very hard.What do I do?“She's not coming with you and that's i
