Chapter 21: A little time.
Presch didn't cease shouting as Flora kept quiet, she wanted her to display her madness while she watch. "Are you deaf? I said you are a bitch, just like your mother". She said shouting at her face. Presch stood at Flora's presence as if she would beat her up.
On hearing Presch mentioning her mother, Flora gave her two slaps on both side of her face. "How dare you? How dare you call my mother". With that same annoyance she pushed Presch to the ground. "I can let you insult me but I'll never tolerate it if you mention my mother. Since you and your slut mother came into the Ryain's house, what have you done? Did you know my father doubted whether you are his true daughter, your slut mother brought you a bastard child to the Ryain's house, gaining the position of a second wife". Flora laughed maniacally.
"I am insane, I am insane because you and your bastard mother came into my home and destroyed it, you guys destroyed a peaceful home". She said moving closer to Presch who was on the ground.
"If I found out you or your mother is involved in my parent's death, I'll make you pay, I'll make you pay with everything you have. I promise you". Flora said and left.
She left angrily and took a cab home. Presch was still on the ground breathing heavily, she was scared of this current Flora, her eyes were red and looking as if she could pounce on her and kill her. This was not the Flora she knows, the Flora she knew was always calm and obedient. Presch busted into tears, people around her were looking at her with some kind of evil eye, she quickly stood up, went into her car and drove off.
There was another set of men who had been following Flora unaware, they were Scott's men. He had sent them to guard and protect his wife and if there was any important information to relay, they should call him immediately.
"Hello boss". One of the men picked his phone and called Scott. They explained to him what had happened between his wife and Presch.
"Hope she is fine?". Scott asked feeling settled.
"Yes boss, she left the scene not quite long.
"Okay then, good job". He complimented them.

"Hello guy, what's up with you, you're sounding so worried". Roy asked Maxson who had just called him.
"Nothing really. Let's set a date for us to see, maybe hang around in the bar". He suggested.
"Alright, we would. You can confide in me guy. You are not sounding like the Maxson I know, what is wrong and where are you?". Roy asked feeling concerned.
Maxson had been worried about Joan since the night they had called each other. Though she had sent her email to him, but he couldn't see her for now because of the rules laid down at her workplace.
"So how may I help you?". Roy asked again.
"It Joan, she had been making me worried". Maxson said sighing.
"Joan? What did she do? Did you guys fought?" He asked.
"No, not at all. We didn't have a fight". He answered Roy.
"She actually discussed some situations she faced at her workplace. She complained of her director assaulting her. I am so worried about her". Maxson said.
"I can see you are in love with Joan. Okay, why didn't you tell her to report to their boss or even the police?". Roy wondered.
"She said she couldn't afford to loose her job. She is the only one catering for herself right now". Maxson stood up from his chair, he went to sit on the sofa.
"Ohhh, I understand. Can't you take some steps on her behalf or talk to your brother about it". Roy suggested.
"Yeah, I think I'll result to that, but I want her to have gotten a new job before I start dealing with the guy". Maxson replied.
"Yeah, that is a good plan. Make sure you keep me updated everytime. I gat you bro". Roy smiled and said.
"Thanks a lot and what about you and Beauty? How are you guys?". Maxson asked calmly.
"She is known for being stubborn, don't worry about that, we would be fine". Roy assured him.
"Alright then, take care". Maxson said his greetings.
...........
Since Aria and Beauty were into the same kind of business, Aria decided to pay her a visit to get some advice regarding her work. She needed to sign a contract with a certain company from City Z, she doesn't want to make any form of mistakes.
"Hello sis". Aria stood outside the Silver mansion about to get into her car.
"Hello dear, how have you been?". Beauty said sharply.
"Hmm, I am good. Sis I want to come over to your company now, I need to discuss some important business ideas with you. Would you be chanced?". She asked expecting a pleasing response.
"Sure, you can come over now". Beauty said excitedly.
"Thanks a lot sis". She thanked Beauty and hanged up the call.
Aria got to Beauty's place less than 30 minutes, she went in to her office. Beauty's PA, Miss Nancy had come to pick her up, taking her into Beauty's office.
Miss Nancy left the two ladies in the office and went back to her post. The two were so excited to meet, they discussed on Aria's subject matter and other various topics, since their aesthetics matched.
...........
It was 10:30pm in the night, Scott had gotten home earlier, he had been thinking of leaving the office so early so he could spend time with his wife. Sky who was working alongside him in his office couldn't help but continue shaking his head at his boss.
He knew his boss wanted to go home to see his wife, they had been texting each other today for a long time. "Wasn't that enough? Morever, Miss Flora isn't running away". He sighed and continued his work.
Scott and Flora were on the bed in their bedroom, about to sleep. Scott suddenly called to her and ask her about her day.
"How was your day?". Scott asked sitting up on the bed. "My day went well, what about you?". She asked also. "Hmm, I had a lot of files to sign at the office today, my back and body aches". He said squeezing his face.
Flora coughed jokingly before replying. "Don't tell me you want a massage because I won't do anything". She said laughing.
"Why? Will you kiss me then?" He asked smirking his lips. "This man with his trickish way". She thought within herself.
Flora appeared as if she wanted to cry. "Husband, as you can see, I am just recovering, I won't be able to do any, goodnight". She immediately took the duvet and covered herself to sleep.
"This pretence won't help you. You either massage me or kiss me". Scott said smiling, he began to near her. Flora could feel the warmth beside her, her hands gripped the bedsheets, sweats broke out from her forehead.
Suddenly Scott opened the duvet and hugged her from behind. "Hmm, you actually called me husband. I think I'll let it go this night just because of that". He pulled her into his chest, she wanted to resist him, but his grip on her waist were so hard, so she gave up. The couple slept off in each other's arms till morning break.

He had dispatched some men in his troop to always watch and monitor Flora, he had gotten the pictures of Flora's ex boyfriend, Broe, speaking to her on the road.
"Boss, when are we going to start striking?". His second hand, Black eye asked.
Arthur smiled before giving his response. "Just a little time, in a little bit of time". He said and laughed hystericallly. Black eye joined him in laughing, at the same time, he was wondering what his boss was planning. His boss had been the second ruthless person he had knownin City B, aside Silver Scott.
