His Little FLOWER

Chapter 38: 38 - Risk My Pride For You

ROSE POV:

The door got opened by William, as I got down from the car. I stood in front of the mansion, where I

stayed for a short period with My Ferr.

After 5 months, finally...

Though the period with him short here, A thousand thoughts and pleasant memories shuffled through

my mind, I could play them like a movie in my head.

Uff... That big bull didn't come along with me. He made me get inside the car once we made our way

out of the jet plane.

As well as the reporters were already gathered around the airport, waiting to have a press meet with

him.

He already gave a live video interview still it is not enough for them also he said he can't come for

lunch. Since he had some serious business to finish, it takes more time for him to return, probably

evening.

"That's so mean of him to leave you alone, isn't it?", John chuckled, as I faked a pout before letting out

a small laugh.

"Explore the mansion, even a whole day won't be enough.", he suggested, which seemed like a good

idea as I never explored the whole place.

"That seems like a good idea, Mr.John. I will try it out.", I told, as it will help me drag the day until Ferr

comes back.

"And another thing, Mr.John, you need to buy him new clothing and suits again from the beginning.", I

divulged as while we are on the private jet, I found out.

An hour before landing, he began to suit up, only to find out that doesn't fit him. Then, I realized that

bull, again got hefty more than before by the workouts.

I understood at that moment, that is why I couldn't able to bear his bodyweight like before.

That gigantic bull...

"I knew this will happen.", John does not seem surprised by hearing this. Ferr told me, that John is the

one who always chose his clothing styles.

Before I could take a step on, my eyes came across the sight of Susan and the other maids standing

near the main entrance door with huge smiles plastered on their faces.

Moving forward, I made my way towards them. "It's been a long time, Susan.", I gave her a short hug,

as she greeted me with the same as well the other maids greeted me too.

Making our way inside the mansion, I eyed the living hall, it looks the same. I could remember every

small cute memory I had here with Ferr viewing each spot.

Discerning the kitchen, I remembered Amelia, she left the job, isn't she? "Susan.", I stopped her, when

she was about to leave to the kitchen. "Yes, ma'am.", she looked at me, wondering why did I stop her.

But, again I thought should I enquire about Amelia to her? It's been more than 5 months since she left

the job and now she's assumably living her own life. I don't want to bother her anymore.

"Nothing, you can leave.", I disclosed, as she gave me a nod before leaving to the kitchen.

Taking my phone out, unlocking the screen, I entered inside the contact list and deleted the contact

name of Amelia. I don't find any reason to have this number anymore.

I made my way towards the bedroom since maids will take care of the cooking.

Reaching the bedroom, I glimpsed around the room in a daze, it remains me of the first day how I

arrived here. He went out of control, and...

Wait!

That is the moment, everything hit my mind. I need to take him to the doctor to treat his drug addiction

also for his anger issues.

I think the only person with whom I could talk about this matter is John. After getting fresh, I should

probably have a word with him about this.

Arranging my clothes in the wardrobe I took the towel to get freshen up before I could leave, I

remembered one thing. Probably, Ferr would be now with the reporters giving a live interview.

Why not see that? Since I have never seen him giving interviews. Taking the remote, that is on the

shelf I switched on the TV, which is fitted in our bedroom itself.

I switched to the news channel and the first thing itself I saw is his interview.

Feeling excited, I gawked at him. He is looking so hot, with the ring stud and the cooling glass. Lastly,

not forgetting with the new hairstyle he got.

While we made our way back to the private jet field, I noticed the parlor and decided to get him a

haircut as he looked like a patient before.

He trimmed his thick lengthy beard which nearly hid his neck. But still, it is thick though. His hair was

scraped in a side-parted brushed over, but still, it was concealing his forehead partially.

Wait, I am behaving like a creepy teenage girl who has a crush on him for years.

Stupid, Rose!

I shook my head and focused on what he is talking about.

"Mr.Knight, Is it true that you and your girlfriend were got married privately?", A reporter raised a

question, which didn't go well with Ferr. What kind of dumb question is that?

"Come again.", he stressed out each word in a gritted way. He was about to get up from his seat but a

hand from behind gestured him to sit back.

Who is that?

That person leaned down, and it is none other than Andrew. It's been more than 5 months since I saw

him. But he used to call me, while I was in my hometown. He is such a sweet guy, as he got injured to

save me once.

He told something to Ferrari, which made him sit back on his seat but still, his face held a hardened

expression.

Thank God!

As they began to interrogate him again about business and upcoming plans. For everything, he

answered in a cool manner. It looks like he was prepared for everything.

After a while, again a reporter dived the topic into personal. "Mr.Knight, is marriage on the cards?".

Seriously, don't they have any other questions to ask except digging into People's personal life? We

never discussed marriag-

"Yes.", he let out in a simple, unfazed by the question. What? I don't know that. He didn't discuss this

with me. That big bull. That nerve of him.

"Are the dates fixed?", Following that another reporter put forward the question. We haven't talked

about marriage yet.

No, the dates are not fixed...

"Yes.", he answered shortly, before leaving out of the room. What did he say right now? Marriage on

the card, the date is fixed and I don't know.

How dare he! Let him come back first, I am gonna break his nose.

I got a call from Grandpa, he must be probably calling to know, whether I reached the place safe or not.

I attended the call, "Grandpa, I-", before I could finish he intruded on me. "So, marriage is fixed and we

didn't know.", he huffed out in disbelief. Oh, god! He is also watching the TV, it seems.

"Trust me, Grandpa, I don't know either.", I whined, not able to believe this news had spread to them.

After explaining everything to them, I hung up the call only to buzz again. It is Kai. Three days back, he

called me.

"Hey, cutie-", before I could finish the word, just like Grandpa, he impeded me in the mid.

"So, your gonna go wedding shopping with your girlfriends, without me by your side.", he sounded as if

he is gonna cry. Before I could speak, I heard a voice from his side.

"CUTE ONE, I don't find any fucking reason for you to cry in this thing.", I heard those words in a

distant fade, making my eyes go wide in dread. My cutiepie is crying? It's all because of that Bull. I am

gonna kill him for this.

Just like I illustrated to Grandpa, I elucidated to him too, and I promised him that I won't begin my

wedding shopping without him, which calmed him down at the end.

I fell back on the bed, drained. More than an hour flew off by explaining to these two persons.

I heard a knock on the door, I told in my low voice to Come in. As Susan came in with the food trolley.

She placed the trolley on the side of the bed, as I instructed before leaving.

I should get fresh, I feel tired now. Before I could sit up from the bed, my phone buzzed again. I looked

at the phone screen.

Oh, God! Not again...

It's Riley and the others, video calling me. I heaved out a deep sigh, before swiping up to attend.

Ferrari Raffa Knight, you're so dead today...

EVENING: 6 PM

I got ready for a night out, that is what he told me on the phone. He didn't come back yet, as he

informed me that he will catch up with me at the location where we are about to meet.

I think he is taking me out for a dinner. I wore a black-fitted costume that suits the mood.

Making my way out, I saw John who has been already waiting for me. Noticing me, he smiled at me,

before opening the door for me to hop in.

We made our way out of the mansion with 5 cars encircling the front and another 5 cars obscuring the

back.

"It looks like he didn't tell you about the wedding part.", John initiated the conversation, which left me

stunned. So, that bull discussed this with everyone except me.

"So, you knew about this.", I huffed out for which he chuckled, as he began to add furthermore.

"He didn't arrange for the wedding like you think. He wishes to marry you, that is what he confessed in

front of the media in that manner.", his explanation cleared my confusion, so that is what Ferr meant.

"John, I just-", I began to say but stopped myself puzzled, not knowing should I talk to him about this or

not. "What is it?", he waited for me to continue as I inquired him.

"When Ferr told me about his past he told, you denied marrying after you couldn't find him from the

woods. Is it because you felt guilty?", I gave him a puzzled expression wondering why he gave up on

his happiness.

"No, that is not the truth.", he sounded normal, leaving me more confused as he begins to add more.

"Because I felt as if I lost my son, it was tormenting. From the day he was born, I was looking after him.

I can't say he is like My son candidly because A real Father won't sit and watch the suffering of his son.

Don't you think?", he quizzed me back, but I didn't felt confused this time. I can invariably feel how

much he loves Ferr. From the beginning, I was seeing it.

"Nothing is your fault. That time, you are just a driver. Young and Scared.", I expressed, understanding

if it was someone in his place, they won't be caring for Ferr this much like John does.

"No use to look back at the past.", he stated, glancing at me through the front mirror. I gave him a nod.

"You know how I met Ferrari again, after I lost him in the woods.", he inquired, staring at me agitated.

"Yes, I know, he told me, 8 years later, he met you again. He stopped by the mechanic shop in which

you are laboring.

He came to finish a deal with the owner of that mechanic shop, who is a secret dealer in the Mafia

Business.

That is the moment, he saw you, as you looked like as if you're gonna collapse at any moment. You're

filled with grease by a frail amount of working hours.

He identified you easily because you are the only family he got when he had nothing.

Before he could reach you, just like he thought you fainted. When you opened your eyes, your life

changed forever. You woke up in a king-size bed.", I giggled, saying the end part like a song, as he let

out a delirious laugh in return.

And I began to continue...

"He told, he feels like Father is a small word to address you. Because, every parent will love their child,

that is a normal thing.

But, you adored him when he is no one to you. Your selfless love is greater than A Father could love

his son. That's what strengthened him when he is a child despite the trauma he has gone through.

The relationship between you and him, is something so pure, that we could not describe it with words.",

I ended up saying remaining and eyed him through the front mirror.

His eyes became glossy with the tears that on the verge to trickle. He turned the mirror to the other

side and cleared his throat continuing with his drive.

I didn't add anything more further than this and maintained my silence to give him some space.

I know all, as Ferr told me this too, many times he asked John to stay in the mansion and enjoy the

luxurious lifestyle. But, John is unwilling and pleaded to Ferr to let him be a Driver instead.

John is a man who wishes to live a simple life. People who decide to live in that way reduce their

material possessions. For them, less becomes more than enough. Small things will give them more

happiness. To define it in one word, Simplicity.

After a while, I initiated the talk again since it is very important. "I want to take Ferr to doctors for his

drug addiction and anger issues.", I divulged, knowing only he can assist me in this. Since he knows

Ferr for a long time.

"Oh, yeah, I already talked over with the doctors. They said they don't want to meet him, but you.", he

clarified, leaving me mystified.

"What? Why me?", I stared at him, bewildered as to why they want to meet me? Ferr is the one who

needs to be get treated.

"It is because they know, it's futile to discuss with him about this issue. For the past 10 years, I am

taking him to those doctors. He isn't ready for the treatment, because of that they aren't ready to give

him the medications.", he let out, getting frustrated at the end, feeling unsatisfied with the attitude of

Ferr.

"Why they don't give him the medication?", I wondered, why they are neglecting to give him that, which

is the way to cure him.

"Because taking those drug injections along with the doctor's prescribed pills could be life-threatening.

It can lead to death. You know, you can't predict him, when will he take those nor when will he not?", he

edified, and it left me frightened to the core. What if he takes that drug injection without knowing me?

"Tomorrow, once he leaves for work, those doctors will visit you and guides you with everything. I will

be there with you too. If Ferrari stays on that time, he will probably lose his control by seeing them. So,

you don't have to talk about this to him either.", he advised, which appeared to be a good suggestion.

He continued to drive, but my mind is crowded with so many thoughts and it is always about HIM.

After an hour of travel, I looked at the surrounding, it does not look like driving to the city. This path

looks as if not many will travel through this way.

"John, what road it is?", I glanced around in a puzzled way. For which, he gestured his hands towards

the right side.

It revealed a luxury log cabin, it is like woodland heaven that nests in the mirth of grass as if it were the

conjuring of some happy dream.

It's so beautiful...

I watched in awe until my trance got interrupted by John's voice, "We reached the destination.". The

remaining cars stopped near the gateway itself as we made it inside.

He halted the car as I opened the door by myself, getting down. "Rose, he is waiting for you in the

backyard of this lodge.", he guided for which I gave a nod.

"See you tomorrow.", he waved me a bye before droving off as he made his way out of the gateway

along with the others.

Tomorrow?!

I took the right turn as he told me, on the path it was doused with red petals which sparkled gloriously

because of the fairy lights that wrapped around the tree on either side of the pathway.

Did he make this all? But where is he?

"Ferr, where are you?", I scanned all around, but couldn't catch a glimpse of him. I went on walking in

the trail which is filled with rose petals as a pathway.

But what grabbed my eyes is the tree swing that was wrapped with string lights too. I ran towards the

swing, while reaching it close, I noted a brilliant red rose bouquet.

I took the rose bouquet in my hand and caressed the petals gently. These petals in the opening bud are

like a fresh new page, a page upon which our story would be written, and it is beautiful like his love for

me.

I noticed something inscribed on the label. "For My Little FLOWER. But these roses are not as beautiful

as You." Reading it, my heart made a slight tremor, involuntarily a smile touched the corner of my lips.

I can't wait anymore for him, "Ferr, where are you? I'm losing my patience here."

I settled on the swing and used my legs to propel. I rejoiced with my eyes closed when the breeze

fouled up on my face like a gentle touch.

I let out a breathy gasp, startled by the abrupt hold of strong pair of arms which got wrapped around my

waist and made the swing halt.

"My Little FLOWER.", I heard the hoarse voice mumbling against my hair, it made my heart go haywire

in the contentment, and only he could do that, without trying hard.

I tilted my head to meet his eyes which remind me of the color of the earth, the color of the warmth and

comfort.

He is wearing a white shirt, which is clasped to his robust body like a second skin.

He captured my lips onto him, as I shifted myself a bit more in the swing in a comfortable position. I

rolled one hand around his shoulder, with the other I curled my fingers onto his hair.

His lips moved against mine, fervent, his hold on my face tightened as his tongue trailed my bottom lip,

seeking for entrance.

I let him part my lips with his wet tongue, and, the taste of him dazed my mind. I moaned breathlessly,

the feeling had my toes curling.

After a few seconds later, I began to feel breathless. I pressed my hands against his chest giving a

slight push, indicating him to stop which made him groan. He sucked onto my bottom lip before jerking

it gently and broke the kiss.

With our forehead touched together, a few moments later, our breathing becomes normal. "I thought it

is a dinner date!", I whispered still in the same position, for which he retorted, "Yes, it is."

Pulling back, I twisted his both ears and shot a glare at him. But his eyes simply gleamed with a smile

on his lips.

"How dare you assert to reporters that the marriage date is fixed? You know how many of them called

me. Grandpa, My friends, and My cutiepie crying.", I won't agree with the chat he had with the

reporters.

He could have told me beforehand and I would be prepared for all of this. I was exhausted by the

amount of calls that I got afterward.

He took my hand in between his, as his thumb fondled with my knuckles gently. He came off to be deep

in his thoughts.

"Your right, I should've confessed to you beforehand.", he stood up and took few steps back from me

before turning around to leave.

Wait! Where he is going?

"Ferr, where are you going?", I gave him a puzzled expression. But, he didn't say anything except

giving me his playful smirk.

He made his way out to the other side of the lodge, as his view got obscured by the walls. I shook my

head side to side in disbelief of his play, and, not having any other choice except to follow him.

Taking the rose bouquet, I ran in the direction he left...

Taking the turn which he took, I met with the sight of a mesmerizing place. A blushing fabric glowing in

sparkling lights with either side designed with white candles. The path is shadowed with white rose

petals.

I began to walk towards the arena, as of now I feel as if I am walking down the aisle.

Reaching near the door like glowing fabric, I touched it gently as if it is a feather. I admired the things NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

he has done for me.

"Flower.", I heard the softest voice ever which has a bit of hoarseness still in it. The voice came from

behind me. This time, I'm not gonna let him go.

"Ferr, you know-", I turned over only to get my voice glued in the middle of my throat.

My senses got frozen for a second to be met with the sight of him in a kneeling position in front of me

as he unfolded the classy red velvet box in front of me.

Inside the box, the white crystal-like jewel sparkled like a star that never fails to captivates the dark sky.

Just like the star, he never failed to enchant me with his love either.

"You know, I'm not good with this proposal thing, and I'm not planned to deliver you a long paragraph

either. I'm freaking out already.", he admitted taking a deep breath, making me laugh at the tension that

is building inside him.

Tears began to well up blurring my vision but instantly I wiped them off not wanting to miss this

moment.

"Before you came into my life, the most important thing for me is The Power I hold which I won't risk for

anyone. But, now I'm willing to stake anything, My Life even My Pride, that is only for you, My Little

FLOWER. Will you Marry me?", he confessed waiting for my reply, his chocolate eyes glistened with

full of hope.

It wasn't about the ring or the roses, though both were beautiful, it was about seeing that I was the one

he'd risk his pride for. I feel like I don't even give a damn if I die now.

Clasping the bouquet tight, I choked out, "I do! Wait... I mean, yes!". I felt breathless in the end with the

tears that seeped through my eyes.

Without waiting for a second, I fell onto his arms holding him tight and buried myself against the crook

of his neck.

He caressed my hair and inhaled a sharp breath as we stayed in the same position for a few minutes

before I wiped off my tears and broke the hug.

After that, I realized I'm sitting on his other leg, using which he is balancing himself. I was about to

stand but he made me sit back.

Taking the elegant diamond ring out of the red velvet box, he slipped it on my finger. The diamond,

spectacle of entitlement, sat upon my finger as it welded to a strangling band of gold.

When our eyes met, it melted into an undeniable passion, profound enough to see it through the naked

eyes like a mirror, with that, I pressed my lips onto him.

Our hands trembled furiously against each other bodies with a craving to become one again.

He lifted me into his arms and began to walk, as I didn't mind where he is taking me. Now, it is the

sweetness of zeal with million loving thoughts condensed into a moment.

MARCUS (FBI) POV:

"What is going on here? 5 months ago, everyone believed he is dead, but now he is alive. Why none of

the media arguing about that? They are simply believing whatever he is stating, without a debate.", I

placed a question in front of all the council members.

For which they all stayed silent, not able to give me an answer. I can't believe I couldn't even able to

gather one piece of proof against him.

"Sir, I think we should let go of his matter.", I heard a voice arising out, as he is one of the council

members in this operation.

"So, you are saying let's accept the defeat. Huh?", I roared out at him, not able to control my temper,

none of them behaving with responsibility.

"I'm saying, let's switch the person.", he divulged leaving me confused. Switch the Person?

"Ferrari Raffa Knight is A Powerful corrupted UnderBoss. But that doesn't mean all the others must be

Powerful like him.

That Hadezeus DiFury Archer, he is just a Consigliere (Advisor). I don't think he will hold power as

much as Raffa does.

Like Raffa does drug trafficking, that Daggeron Tynan Costa doing illegal Gambling. Unlike Drugs, it is

very easy to capture the Gambling activities proof.", he suggested, that sounds great.

Instead of constantly focusing on Raffa, I need to turn my priority on others too.

"Let's stop centralizing on Raffa from now on, it's time for us to focus on that Fury and Costa.", I stood

up, finalizing my decision.

Just because I got a downfall in one place, doesn't mean I'll never taste the victory...
