?His Encountered with a Widow?
•(love,lies and suspense)•
?Episode Forty one?
•Zayn POV•
I slowly walk into her room, my eyes darting everywhere in search of her.
Then reality whip me,
Today marks exactly a month she left this house.
I stand rooted, staring at the phone pack on her bed and memories came flooding in my head.
“Uhm.. I have a surprise for you though”
“What’s the surprise?”
“You want to know?”
“Yeah”
“Then ki-ss me baby”
I shut my eyes briefly, letting the hot tears roll down my cheeks- running a hand throu-ghmy hair.
“I miss you so much Flora” I mumbled un-der my breath.
“Why does it seem so ha-rd to get you? Why?”
“Zayn” I heard a voice, it’s not Reid’s.
Then who?
I turned around swiftly to look.
What?
“What are you doing here?” My voice crack.
I cuss Ryder for taking away my happiness, the last time I was this vulnerable was when I lost Iris.
She hurried her steps towards me with a sympathetic look on her face.
Geez!
I don’t need it.
“Why are you being like this Zayn?” She pressed a hand to my che-st but I just look elsewhere.
“You’re hurting yourself all because of a lady?”
“Zayn, when did you become like this?”
“Almighty Zayn doesn’t give a damn about ladies, so what’s so special in her? ”
I tilted my head back to her figure and tears are welled up in her eyes.
I gently remove her hand from my che-st.
“I don’t know what she has given me Violet” I began in my lowest voice, fighting back my pending tears.
“But all I know is that, my happiness lies in Flora”
“She’s the only person I acknowledge as a lady”
Violet watches me, tears streaming down her eyes.
“You should let whatever the thing you feel for me go, cause even if I lost Flora, you still can’t have me Violet” I told her bluntly and she erupted in another tears.
Yeah
Truth hurts.
I made to walk past her but she held me back by my hand. she’s not going to listen?
“I’m so sorry Zayn” She begins, wiping her tears with the back of her palm.
“I felt my soul left my body when you’d said you can never love me” she continues.
I just watch her as she sobs quietly.
“Guilty won’t stop riping my heart immediately I saw how down you are, and which I know about” she paused, looking straight into my eyes.
“What do you mean?” I murmured.
She smile and let go of my hand.
“I know where Ryder is hiding with Flora,Zayn” She broke the news and I could feel my heart skip.
What?

Ryder POV;
The_following_day
“Flora” I called.
“Are you in the bathroom?” I added but I didn’t hear any response from anywhere.
So it’s true.
David really took Flora away from me last night.
I’d came returned home last night, I wanted to believe it was all a dream- but it’s not, Flora is not in here.
Had I know, I wouldn’t have planned on fleeing with her.
I saw my eyes in the dressing mirror and they are reddened as fuc-k.
Jeez!
“You’re gonna regret this David”
“I promise you” I grit my teeth in rage and stormed out of Flora’s room
———
My phone shrills from my trouser short, I removed it from my pocket and the caller ID makes guilty crept into my che-st.
It’s Violet and I’ve wronged her for not believing her the last time she came here.
I stare at my phone screen till it stops ringing;
No, I’m not picking it.
I sighed heavily and continue my walk into the living room, my phone rings again.
I rolled my eyes and brou-ght it out.
It’s Violet again.
Uhm..
Maybe it’s really important.
I slide the answer icon and pressed it to my ear.
“Come open your gate asap” she says throu-ghthe phone and before I could say something, I heard the phone disconnected.
I stepped out of the house and strode towards the main gate- my eyes are still aching badly.
I opened the gate.
And I didn’t see it coming, a sport car zoomed into the compound, almost hitting my legs.
What’s that?
Hold on.. it’s not Violet’s car.
I watch as the driver parked the car in a very rude manner.
Okay..
I had enough.
I marched furiously towards the car.
This ain’t making no sense.
Suddenly, someone opened the driver’s side door and I tremble on my feet immediately.
fuc-k!
Another person came down from the pa-ssenger’s side,
It’s Reid.
I’m sure it’s Violet’s doing.
And speaking of the devil, she alighted from the back seat.
Zayn counted his steps towards me and I counted mine backward with feeble feet,shivering beneath.
“Where’s she, Ryder?” He asked in a very calm voice.
I swallowed very hard, looking elsewhere.
Swears.
I’ve made a hu-ge mistake in my life.
How do I say it?
Flora was here, she deceived me; I got mad at her and decided to flee with her only for David to caught me in the act and took her away.
What a ridiculous excuse!
Oh Lord..
My death day is near.

?Episode Forty two ?
?Zayn POV?
“Where’s Flora?” I asked him again, in my calmest voice but boiling de-eper down.
He shoved a hand into his head and breathe out heavily, fear boldly written across his face.
“Zayn” He mumbled.
“Get Flora here this minute, you fool” I thun-dered and he flinched.
“Flora..”
“Flora isn’t here Zayn” his voice wavers.
I took a step forward and grabbed his ne-ck rou-ghly, strangling him.
“Where is Flora?” I gr-unt, my jawline clenched.
“Flora’s.. not here.. I’m telling the.. truth” He chokes, blood oozing out from his mouth.
“Let him go Zayn” I heard Reid’s voice, pulling my other arm.
I lifted him from the floor, his back facing the sky.
“Please Zayn” Violet added, sniffing.
“No, I want to kill him” I roared.
“Za..yn.. David.. took her..away” He says with his last breath and I threw him to the floor.
He groa-ned in anguish, his eyes are reddened like a coal fire- coughing out blood disgustingly.
“What did you just say?” I queried.
He p@n-ted for a while and we all watch as he wipe the blood from his li-ps before standing on his feet, unsteadily.
“Believe me Zayn” He began, gulping whatever.
“David took Flora away last night, and I have no idea where he took her” He says, staring at his feet.
“You dimwit..” I charged towards him again and favor his cheek with a flying punch, causing him to fall to the floor again.
“Enough already!” Reid yelled.
“No it’s not!” I barked, turning to Reid.
“He fuc-king took Flora away from me, remember?”
“He doesn’t deserve to live” I grit out, turning to Ryder again.
“But he just said another guy took her away” Reid reminded, walking closer.
I pulled Ryder up with his shirt like he weighs nothing.
“Tell me.. who’s the guy?” I shot at him fiercely.
He coughs.
“He’s one of your accomplices, right?”
He just shook his head like he’s lost his voice already.
“Answer the damn question” I slapped him very hard.
Reid groa-ned loudly.
And I can hear Violet cries softly behind me, but I don’t give a flying fuc-k right now.
“He’s David” he answered.
“The same William’s son” he added and I slowly let go of his shirt.
What?
William?
Reid and I glance at each other.
Don’t tell me William is behind all these shit.. I thought, ruffling my hair angrily.
———??
?Flora?
I flic-kered my lids open.
The sun’s rays reflects throu-ghthe window, pene-trating into the room and it caused me to shut my eyes before opening them again.
I sit up, everything looks blurry at first but becomes clear after I blinked my eyes rapidly.
I scrutinized everything in the whole room, my eyes darting around.
Huh?
This is not Ryder’s house nor Zayn’s.
I crawled out of the bed, still looking around in confusion.
“Where’s this place?” I mumbled to myself.
I glance at my dress and it’s the same dress I was putting on the previous day.
Huh?
Memories came reeling in my head.
I gasped.
I remember everything now.
Ryder drugged me and I went to sleep.
Hold on.. I just woke up since yesterday?
I fli-p my hair from my forehead.
Where am I right now?
Where’s Ryder?
I walked towards the door and swallowed before bending the doorknob.
I opened it slowly and poke my head outside, looking from left to right.
So silent.
I walked out of the room and a “wow” escaped my li-ps.
Everywhere looks so beautiful.
I walked down the silent hallway ba-refooted.
Gosh!
I really look like a clown right now.
Hmmm
I got to the marble staircase and another “wow” found it’s way out of my mouth.
Perhaps I’m in the president’s house.. I thought, smiling sheepishly as I descend the stairs carefully.
I climbed down the last step and the first thing that grip my attention was the shimmering chandleier hung to the celling.
“It’s so pretty” I said adoringly.
My tummy rumbles out and I gulped.
I look away from it, averting my eyes around the whole place.
“Hello” my voice echoes in the whole building.
“Is anyone home?” I added but I got no response.
Tears streamed down my cheek as my throat become hot.
I’m really hungry.
Someone yanked the door open and I become frightened.
The person shot me a loving smile from where he’s standing and I crea-sed my brows.
I think my sight is still blurry.
“It’s me” he walks in and I can see him clearly now
My li-ps curved to a wide smile as I wiped my tears.
“Oh my goodness.. is this really you?” I ran into his opened arms.
I stayed in his arms for some minutes before we disengaged from the embrace.
He smile down at me and help tucked my loose strand of hair behind my ear.
“You’re always pretty” He jokes and I laugh.
“How was your long sleep?” He questioned,I just shrugged.
“How did you find me?” I asked him instead.
He chuckles and took my hand in his, as we both walk to nowhere.
“It’s a long story princess, but it’s a good thing I came at the right time” he explained and I sighed.
Ryder is a monster.
We finally walked into the dinning room and I smile broadly.
He let go of my hand and dragged a chair backward.
“Come sit princess” he cooed.
My cheeks flushed.
I sat down and David took his seat across mine.
He opened the dishes at once and my mouth become watered immediately.
So steamy and appetizing.
“Stop drooling already” David laughs as he grab a plate.
I look away embarra-ssingly and smile.
“Is this your house?”
“And why didn’t you take me to Zayn’s house when you’d find me?” I questioned.
He stare at me for a short while before dropping the plate filled in front of me.
“You should eat Flora” he says with a non smiling face.
I gulped.
“Answer my questions David if you want me to eat” I told him.
“Really?”
“Fine.. you’re in my Dad’s house and he has been longing for you so that answered the reason you’re here” He replied and my heart skip.
What?
I can’t un-derstand a thing.
“But who’s.. your Dad?” I stuttered.
He stare at me and I equally keep the gaze for what seems like forever.
David averted his eyes from my face and sprang up instantly.
I followed his eyes it landed on a man.
Huh?
He looks familiar.
I froze instantly I registered his face.
He’s the same man.
The same man we shared eye color.
The same man at that party.
But what’s he doing here?
Oh no.. he’s David’s Dad?
And.. has been.. longing for me?
I placed a palm on my mouth to prevent me from gasping aloud.
What does that mean?
He smile lovingly at me but I just rose to my feet, looking everywhere but not him.

Okay…
What’s gonna happen now?
And please someone should beg Zayn not to kill Ryder o
