The Croesus’ Bride [Completed] - 114 Chapter 10

Flora Kent’s POV

After that session of playing with myself in the bathtub, I went to rinse and wash my body as I was dreaming that Danial was inside the bathroom with me, caressing me with his lips and kisses. Then, I went to play with myself again.

It has been 30 minutes and I have come three times thinking about those gorgeous blue eyes and ginger hair between my thighs. It was not good but I think I wanted him with me in real-time instead of my imagination.

No, Flora, you need to get your mind out of the gutter. You need to focus and you need to get him out of your system. He did not love you and he will never will.

I shook my head as I was trying to keep up with the tasks that Val asked me to do before I went to make some dinner for myself. I think I need a cat as it will help to keep me company. I sighed. Danial also liked cats and I think we would be happy if we stay together.

Where did he stay anyway when he was in Albania for his holiday? Did he stay in a hotel where people might be having a one-night stand or maybe he rented a room at somebody else’s apartment that has their owner inside the house as well?

Calm down, Flora. You were not being paranoid. You and Danial were not an item, you said it yourself and I think you were not thinking clearly. Who cares what he does and where he stays? We are not that woman 5 months ago. We have changed.

I took a deep breath before I went to exhale it. I have to make sure that I was thinking straight before I went to make some dinner. The phone rang when I was looking for some peace out of my mind from Danial. I went to pick it up.

“Hello?” I asked in Italian as I know that no one knows my number except for Val, my new boss.

“Hi, Flora. Having fun yet with the codes?” He asked me as he was chuckling behind the phone.

“No, I think I might be having some headache from all of this,” I said as I was rubbing my temple before clearing my throat.

“So, what’s up? Why are you calling me right now? Any more coding that I need to do?” I asked him as I was making my way to my kitchen as I was thinking of making lasagna. I think that would be a good dinner for me tonight.

“Well, I was thinking of inviting you to a ball. Of course, others that work for me will be attending as well. Consider it as a welcome banquet for you,” he said as I was listening to it.

Banquet?

Ball?

The honor of me?

I was giddy at the thought that. I cannot wait to meet other people as well. I think our founder has a wife and I wanted to meet her as well since I heard that she was the only one that can beat our boss at his own game and that’s they fell in love. Or so I heard.

“So, what do you say? Would you love to meet others?” He asked me as I was in my wonderland.

“Yes,” I said enthusiastically before I cleared my throat.

“Yes, that would be awesome,” I said as I was trying to control my excitement.

“Well, I see you tomorrow then, it is Saturday after all,” he said before he hung up. I was jumping up and down before I was dancing in the kitchen as I was playing the music as loud as I can. I was making my lasagna as I was smiling because I looked forward to meeting everyone else that worked in this company as I did.

Danial Summer’s POV

I have met Flora and since I was in Val’s home country, I have the honor to stay with him. Besides, he owed me for something that I do for him back when we were in college when I was an exchange student to Albania.

“So, how’d it go?” He asked me as I was walking into the car as he picked me up from the spot as I just met Flora. Man, this guy knows how to make someone scream in the dark. I sighed.

“I think she will be okay,” I said as I went inside the passenger seat. I have my duffel bag in his trunk as he drove off to his house. I stay with him for 2 weeks as I only have that much time before Adam knows that I was out of the country and to the top on that, I was supposed to find his sister-in-law.

But I have other plans for that little seducer.

“Well, I think my wife will be thrilled to meet you. And we will be having some ball tomorrow night. Do you wish to come?” He asked me as he was driving away to the secluded area. If I don’t know this guy was a recluse, I might think that he was kidnapping me to kill me in the forest.

“Well, I don’t know. I am here because I have to take Flora Kent back to the States. But I guess you would have known where she was, considering that you were the ones that told me who your latest recruit was, Flora Clover, really was,” I said as I was eyeing him. He laughed before he parked his car inside the garage. The house was decent for someone who worth more than 1 trillion dollars.

“Well, what can I say? I don’t want to ruin the surprise,” he said as we got off and I took my duffel back in the trunk.

“Honey, we’re home,” he shouted before someone appeared at the door.

“I heard you for miles, sweetie,” his wife said as her caramel eyes were looking at Val adoringly as she was trying to get to us to greet me. Being in the second trimesters changed a person. I wondered how she can carry that baby bump.

“Honey, this is my friend, Danny. He will be staying with us for 2 weeks,” Val said as he kissed his wife on the lips before she turned to look at me.

“Nice to meet you and welcome to Albania. I hope you will love this country as I did,” she said as she was putting her hand on the stomach.

“As you did? Didn’t you from around here?” I asked her as she laughed at me before putting her hand on Val’s chest.

“I wish. No, I was from Spain and I happened to meet this wonderful gentleman in a very peculiar way,” she said as Val just laughed at her remarks.

“How so?” I was intrigued to listen to their love story right now.

“Well, I think you might want to rest for a while before listening to our love story. You might get bored,” she replied as Val helped her to get inside the house.

“No, I got time,” I replied as I followed them inside. Their kitchen was immaculate with all the kitchen utensils on its place and it was spotless.

“Well, I need to lay down. It has been a hellish day for me,” his wife said as they went to the bedroom.

“Honey, I told you to let the housekeeper take care of things,” Val said as he was looking at his wife with a scowl. His wife laughed.

“Oh, don’t be so dramatic. You know I love to clean and do stuff. Not that I can’t code but you won’t let me until I push our baby out of my body,” she said as she was looking at Val. He chuckled.

“Thank you for acknowledging it,” she replied before they went to the bedroom as I was lead to my bedroom.

It was neat with the drapes on the bed was masculine, grey color and there was a drawer for me to put my stuff in. There was a desk with a chair and I saw there was a door to the bathroom.

“I hope it was to your liking,” Val said as he walked inside the bed. I was looking around as I put the duffel on the bed.

“Yeah, not bad. Considering you can buy a freaking mansion but this is nice,” I said as I was sitting on the bed. Val’s wife was right. I need a nap and I think I might get it before dinner tonight.

“Well, I let you sleep for a while. Jet lag can be tough,” he said as he went to the door and closed it before I laid in back and drifted to the dreamland as I saw the big, wide green eyes with a smile on her face.

After some hours, I went to dinner and it was scrumptious as always. It was nice to see that Val was happily married and his wife was very charming. They were about to have their first kid after being married for one year. I think it was too early but they have been courting back and forth more than that. It has been 8 years since they first met each other.

“So, I was walking down the street when someone was bumping into me,” Val said as I was listening to their story.

“I thought you were the one that bumped into me first,” his wife retaliated.

“Well, who knows. Maybe I have been so dumb and drunk at that time to remember it very clearly,” Val said as he took his wife’s hands. They were smiling at each other before I cleared my throat.

“So, about this ball. Do I have to come?” I asked Val as he turned sharply at me. His eyes were full of mischief.

I don’t like it, not at all.

“Well, you must. You will in for a surprise if you come. And don’t worry about the clothes, I will help you and besides, did I mentioned it was a masquerade ball?” He said as he was sipping on his wine while looking at me. I gulped.

Yup, he has something on his mind that was planned for me and I think I don’t want to know about it.
