The Croesus’ Bride [Completed] - 109 Chapter 5

5 Months Later…

Flora Kent’s POV

I have been a recluse for almost 5 months. Can you believe that? 5 fucking months. I have been busy and I have been ignoring Danial’s call and emails. I also have not gone out in like forever, which was a dumb idea but also effective to see if Danial was what he claimed him to be.

I have been doing some inside work myself as I was doing some coding and having it as a secret felt wrong with me. I was trying to make sure that everything will be according to the plan.

I have gone do something stupid as well. I broke into Danial’s house after I heard the news that my sister was gone and got kidnapped. I also had met my parents and I think I have been straight forward with my status and her relationship will not be affected.

I wanted to get out of the good girl attitude so bad that I have done some hacking into the government system that allowed me to get residency in Albania. They were not happy with it but they think that if someone could break into their security system, then they must be worth a lot more.

So, I have accepted a job in Albania as the chief of security for a private firm that controls the government system. And the good thing was I speak Italian as well, which was a bonus I might add.

I have gone out of the country the night I went to meet my parents. I have a private jet standby for me and I flew out to Albania. It was the first moment when I felt that I was free.

Free from responsibility.

Free from being a burden.

Free to be me.

Free of unrequited love.

Or I said so myself. I have been trying to forget Danial but I think it just made me the thought of him more.

His smooth skin against mine.

His kisses and moans.

His gaze into my eyes.

I sighed as I was looking at the gorgeous mountain tops that were covered with snow. I was smiling despite the chills that I was having inside the car as we were driving to my rented house. The company handled it all. All I have to do was working for them.

“Have you been here, miss?” My driver asked me in Italian as I was staring out the window.

“Well, this is the first time but I always have been dreaming to come here,” I said as I was smiling.

“Well, your dream was true then,” he laughed. I smiled.

“Well, I hope it will last,”

“Certainly, with that wicked skills of yours, you are one of the demands that Albania needs,” he said as he parked the car in front of the house that was 2 stories. I got out as he opened the door. Then I was looking around. It was a quiet neighborhood.

Perfect.

“Here’s your luggage, ma’am,” he said as he put it down and gave it to me.

“Thank you,” I said as he gave me the keys to the house as well.

“The housekeeper will come on Thursday every week. It has all the things that you need, just as you requested and I hope you will enjoy your stay,” he said as he was looking at me. I smiled at him.

“Well, it was a new day, new life, new job. Thank you. I will see myself in,” I said as I nodded my head to the driver. He nodded.

“Have a good evening miss,” he said as he got inside the car.

“You too,” I said as I was wheeling my luggage to the front door before I inserted the keys into the keyhole. I opened the door as it creaked. It sounded like it was old. I shrugged. The quaint, the better.

I walked inside and I switched on the lights. It was minimalist, to say the least. I was looking at the sofas that were 3 seaters and 2 seaters closed to the television that was hanging on the wall.

Despite being old, they have the latest technology as I went inside the bedroom. They have a canopy king-sized bed and its drapes were satin. It was black. I do mundane, fur now. I put the luggage closer to the bed as I opened the curtains and watched the sun was gleaming in the sky.

“Well, this is perfect,” I said as I was smiling at the sun, basking in its glow.

I have showered and cleaned up a bit. The house was nice. They have a bathroom inside the bedroom and a half bath in the kitchen for the guests, I supposed. They also have stocked the fridge with everything that I needed and I have made myself a light lunch, a tuna sandwich with some water as I took a bite in front of the view outside in the patio.

I was now laying on the bed as I just hung all my clothes as I was waiting for my call from the company. They said that they would call me after I had settled down and I have.

Why were they not calling yet?

I sighed before I went into the study room. yes, they have given me one as I needed to do my work on the computers. They have set up 3 monitors for my work and I was so glad that I could negotiate my terms with the company. They wanted me to stay working with them.

Suddenly, the phone rang on the table and I went to pick it up.

“Hello?” I asked in Italian as I was nervous like hell right now.

“Ms. Clover? Flora Clover, I presume?” A male voice, I felt like he was in the mid-20s like me.

“Yes, this is she speaking,” I said in Italian as I had to get used to it. I haven’t been practicing so long as I can only talk with my sister, Fauna in this language. I called it our secret language.

Even our parents don’t speak that language.

“My name is Valentino Bianchi, the CEO of this company that you will start working for. I wanted to call to formally welcome you to the company as well as to Albania,” he said formally.

“Yes, thank you, Mr. Bianchi,” I said formally as well. He laughed.

“Please, you can call me Val,” he replied.

“I don’t think that would be a good idea,”

“Please, I insist. I know it will be awkward but I like us to be friends,” he said as he was smiling in his voice.

“If you insist, Mr. Bian—I mean, Val,” I said as I was stammering. He chuckled before he cleared his throat.

“So, I assume that you have settled yourself in the apartment that we gave to you?” He asked me as I was clearing my throat as well.

“Yes, I have,” I replied.

“Okay, good. I need you to do something for me,” he said as I was switching on the computer. I was listening to his instruction as he wanted me to do something with the information about a mafia crime boss and he instructed me to decode the encryption that will help the lawyer that got his case with this guy to put him into prison.

“Alright, I will need that tomorrow morning,” he said as he wanted to end the call. I was relieved that I can communicate this easily with my new boss.

“Okay, I will send it to you tonight,” I said as I was typing into the computer. Then there was a voice on the other end that was calling for Val.

“Okay, I have to go. Don’t stay too late,” he reminded.

“Nah, I got some more coding and I will be done,” I said as I was typing another command on the computer.

“Okay, I will see it tomorrow, have a good night,” he said as he ended the call. I just realized that it was nightfall but I felt so energized. Maybe because it was evening in the States that I was having so much idea at the time.

I sighed as I was typing another thing and it was back up and I can access the file it was insane as I read it for the first line. I closed it and put it as an attachment for the email to my boss. I sent it and sighed.

I went to stretch and went to get some light dinner. My stomach was still working on the jet lag. I just had some light sandwiches with meat and some hot tea. Then I went for the shower and turned in for the night. It was bliss as I was drifted to sleep the moment I hit the pillow.

I opened my eyes to see that I was panting and my body was sweating. My clit was throbbing as I was clearing my throat. I was swiping my eyebrow and my neck was parched. I need a drink, a lot of drink and maybe someone to get laid to forget about a certain someone.
