Chapter 23: Ryain Royce.
Micheal sat down comfortably listening to the speaker. He knew what the stranger was trying to tell him, he had liked Flora but now his friend had gotten married to her, so fast? He thought within himself, these two just met each other not quite long, so how come they had gotten married so quick? Could it be a fake marriage truly?
"You need to make your decision on time, when you have decided, I'll call you". The stranger said and ended the call. Micheal put his phone into his pocket, he decided to trash away the weird feelings of getting her back or believing the stranger. He planned to investigate the caller secretly.
He stood up and about to open the door of his office, his PA showed up. "Young master, the staffs are present already. You should come now". Allan said persuading him.
"Sure, I was on my way. Let's go". He said walking ahead his PA.
.........
Flora didn't expect Scott to be back from work so early, she was still annoyed with him and decided not to talk to him. She was still in the garden, admiring the beautiful plants and environment. She had love plants since she was a child, her mother had also owned a garden at the back of their house.
She was immensely lost in the admiration of the plants unaware of Scott's presence. "Is the plant so beautiful and important that I have lost some acknowledgement?". Scott who was walking to her side said calmly and sweetly.
Flora wanted to raise her head up but she remembered how angry she was with him, so she ignored him. Scott saw what she had done, he knew she intentionally ignored him, he tried again, he didn't give up.
"My wife, am I too small for you to notice?". He asked the second time.
"If you think so Mr Silver". She decided to reply him this time.
"I said I am sorry. I am sorry for yesterday's night. Dari was Arthur's friend since college, she had been his best friend. Arthur developed feelings for her and one day confessed to her, but to his amazement, she rejected him. Dari told him the one she likes was me and I never liked her. So since then, Arthur and Dari had felt I had hurt them, so both despised me". Scott explained to his wife, he sat down on the wooden chair in the garden.
"I have never loved a girl in my life except you, you are mine and will be mine always". He said, pulling Flora to himself, he made her sat on his lap. The couple stared at each other, Flora got lost looking at his smooth white face, she looked into his eyes and touched his lips. His lips felt so soft like a fur, she moved her hands to his nose, his nose was sharp and a little wide.
"I can see you are lost in me". He smiled looking at his wife.
"Huh?". Flora came back to reality, she tried standing up from his lap but in quick time, Scott pulled her back. "Where do you think you are going?" He laughed teasing her.
Flora was held by her waist, he traced her shaped figure down to her legs. Flora body tensed up immediately, she felt his Adam's apple poked her underneath. While lost in the pleasure of his manhood poking her, Scott kissed her deeply.
He kissed her teeth, her mouth and tongue. She couldn't breathe properly and held his shoulder, she knew she couldn't control herself anymore. Both of them kissed each other compassionately, they tasted each other's saliva and came back to reality.
One of the servants cleaning the garden saw them, she quickly left shyly, smiling as she went.
Flora drew herself away from Scott, she had seen a figure passing, it was one of the servants. She stood up shyly and went back to the plants. "Grandma called me this afternoon, she complained we have not been visiting her. I explained to her about our work taking up more of our time and promised her we would be visiting very soon". Flora explained.
"Alright, I'll also call to check up on her, we can also plan visiting tomorrow. I'll go upstairs to freshen up". He replied her.
"Hm". She responded without looking at him, she was too embarrassed to face him. Scott knew what was going on with her, he left her alone and went into the house.
..........
Earlier today in the office, Prum had come to meet Scott, he had brought the updated documents of the investigation they were on.
According to the recent investigation done by Prum. Cylene had always been complaining of Martha, Flora's mother, since she had came into the house. She would shout on Martha, maltreat Flora when her mother wasn't home.
Martha would complain to Joe, but he would apologize to her and tell her to condone Cylene. The day Martha and Joe had accident and died, Cylene had dragged some document's properties with Joe, she had threatened him in the house which Cylene had heard them secretly that day.
Scott reminisced about the information they had gathered so far, his body tensed up with anger and hatred.
Prum had also gave him details about Flora's family, Cylene had two children, Ryain Presch and Ryain Royce. The step sister was the one he had met that day at the boutique with Flora, she was also the one his men had reported to him who Flora slapped on the road.
As the water poured on his body, he stood still under the shower, he smiled wickedly, keeping his plans to himself.
While Scott was inside, Flora was still in the garden, the memories of her parents flooded her mind, she remembered she was still on the path to find out who killed them. She phoned Prum her private investigator, but the response she got left her unhappy.
"Madam, there is no update for now. Give me some time ma, I'll surely find something new". He had lied to her because Scott had already told him to avoid telling her anything that would make her sad.
Scott was waiting for a perfect time to tell her, he wanted to sort it out to the end, so he could surprise her.
...........
Presch hasn't gone home since yesterday when she phoned her mother. She had an apartment outside where she stays once a while. She had been overwhelmed with sadness and hatred because of Flora, she drafted many ways and techniques to execute to destroy her completely.
It seems everyone is shielding her while she is worthless. "Whatever it takes for me to do to bring Flora down, I promise to do them". She promised herself.
...........
At noon, Maxson came to Scott's mansion, he had decided to tell his elder brother about Joan. Aria had disturbed him to tag along, so he brought her together with him.
Flora wasn't expecting the in laws. "Sister in law!". Aria called out to her happily, she walked to her in the garden.
"Aria, how have you been? You have become more chubby huh? That's so fast". Flora exclamated.
"Sister in law, she has been eating all the food in the house, I had tried stopping her but it seems this brother of hers is wicked". Maxson said laughing.
"Shut up! What kind of brother are you?". Aria shouted back at him.
"Eyyyy girl, I am your best brother huh?". He said teasing her.
"Best brother my foot". Aria replied holding Flora hands.
Flora watched the display between the two siblings, she smiled lovely looking at the scene. She once wished she could live happily with Presch and Royce.
"Sister in law! Is my big bro inside?". He asked ignoring his sister.
"Yes, go in, I think he is in the shower". She said. Maxson left the ladies and went inside to meet Scott.
Scott was also coming downstairs when he saw Maxson in the living room. "Big bro, I came because I have an important thing to discuss with you". He said with a straight face.
Scott nodded and led him to his study room. "What is that?". Scott asked as soon as they got in.
They sat down on the sofa and Scott lit up his tobacco. "The woman I loved is being maltreated and I want to find out who this person is". He said coldly.
"What's her name and where does she works?". The tobacco smoke filled the room.
Maxson took another tobacco wrap and lit. "Clip de' aue, her name is Joan, Dyce Joan".
"She is being maltreated by the director of the restaurant". He added.
Scott took his phone and called Joel. "I want information on the director of Clip de' aue restaurant now!". He commanded.
Within a minute, Joel called back and gave him response. "Ryain Royce boss, his name is Ryain Royce". Joel spoke fast and cut the call.
A wicked smile erupted from Scott. "A small world with big acts". He said clear and loud.
Maxson also heard the name, he puffed out smoke from his mouth and grinned hard.
