His Little FLOWER novel Chapter 28

ROSE POV:

I wore a pale pink crop top & black ripped jeans along with white sneakers. Normally I wore little makeup, but today I don't feel like doing anything.

I don't know about ferr but there was a constant tension in the air, I could feel that. My chest was too tight, I forced myself to breathe steadily.

I couldn't even meet his gaze, while all this time I could feel his burning stare at me. I peeked at him sideways realizing that he is now standing in front of the mirror.

I didn't even dare to raise my head while using the hairdryer without looking at the mirror. I just couldn't look into his eyes after how I talked to him yesterday.

When I recalled everything, I felt disgusted with myself. How could I take Luciano's name into the conversation?

That jerk freaking kidnapped me, my whole body burning in anger thinking about him.

That son of a biscuit...

Wait, a little swear won't hurt since grandpa is not here to twist my ears.

That fucking bastard...

Back then I used to swear a lot, but My grandparents were so strict, especially grandpa. He used to twist my ear whenever I swear. In the end, I stopped using those words for them.

I heaved a sigh, what is the use of feeling guilty now stupid Rose. You screwed up everything.

I came back to senses by the sound of his footsteps, as I peeked through the mirror to see him moving out of the room.

Wait!...

"W..wait", I wavered, turning off the hairdryer, he stopped in his tracks, turning around which made me look down once again, not able to meet his eye.

I feel irked with myself...

"My grandparents are coming today, they said.. th..that they want to meet you. Do you have time? I mean, if you're busy, it's fin-", before I could finish he beat me to it.

"I will meet them", he stated, the confidence evident in his calm tone. We both stood there silently for a moment, when I was about to meet his gaze, he left.

I sighed mentally...

Walking with few steps, distance behind him, we made our way to the living hall, where Susan arranging the breakfast but ferr didn't pay attention to it.

"Ferr", I called as he turned around, I eyed everywhere but him. "Let's have breakfast", I looked at him for a second only to avert my gaze like a flash.

I can't meet his eyes. I really can't...

"You can have breakfast. I will wait outside", his objection is obvious as I heard his footsteps fading off in the distance to make me raise my head again.

I don't think he remembers that I asked sorry yesterday. Maybe I should ask again. I saw Susan standing there, waiting for me. I informed her that I don't want breakfast & told her to share the food among themselves.

Making my way outside, I saw him leaning against the expensive white car waiting for me. Once our eyes met, he opened the door, waiting for me.

I got in the front passenger seat not even uttering a word as did my seat belt then made his way to the other side, settling on the driver seat.

When he revved up the engine, I gulped in pure dread as the sound of the engine roared. Once the main gate was opened, he intensified the acceleration of the car like a flash, making me gasp loudly in terror.

"Ferr, slow down", I choked out, but he just went on with the exact uproar speed. I saw his face clenched hard revealing his protruding veins.

"Ferr, I am sorry. I shouldn't have talked in that way to you yesterday. Please slow down. You're scaring me", I shouted as the speed decreased gradually making me let out a sigh of relief.

Seriously! he scared me like this just for A sorry...

I stared at him unbelievably, but his eyes fixed on the road now. Thank God! This road is empty since it's a one-way route for the mansion, no one will pass in this way.

After an hour of driving, we reached the place, My Home.

After a long time, I sighed in content...

But what I say next left me speechless, my eyes went wide, I stood frozen in my spot not able to believe what I was seeing. The door opened, revealing the joyous face of My Grandparents.

Oh gosh, when did they arrive?

"My baby", she squealed, as they both make their way towards me. I ran towards them as we were engulfed in a tight hug. An instant later, we pulled back.

I turned around to catch a glimpse of Ferr, standing over there with a huge smile plastered on his face but it didn't reach his eyes. It is a forced one that I can't stand, I felt so bad.

I made my way towards him. I entwined his hand with mine, gave him an assured smile as we both made our way towards My Grandparents.

After the introduction, we all started to make our way towards the home. But stopped in our tracks hearing the rumbling sound of the cars as if coming toward us. We all looked back to see more cars arriving at our place.

The door was opened, it was none other than but John, Mark & William as they came along with the guards.

"Who are all they?", grandpa eyed them suspiciously. But I told him to not worry about, "Grandpa don't worry, they are all the guards working for ferr. Come on, let's get inside". I assured him as he gave a nod.

Getting inside, everyone settled on the couch as I made my way towards the kitchen, saw that the coffee has been made already.

"Baby, do you need my help?", granny questioned, for which I shook my head negatively, "I will take care".

I started to pour the coffee into the cup one after the other. I saw grandpa initiating the conversation first.

"So, Ferrari...", grandpa let out a small chuckle before continuing further. "Sorry to laugh, but I'm just marveling why your parents named you Ferrari? You know it's a car name", he queried being curious about ferr's name.

Even I wondered too...

"The woman who gave birth to me gave this name, she resembled me with a thing, unwanted.", he sounded as if it's not a big deal. But not for us, we all gaped at him. I was stunned by his revelation.

"Referring your mother as a woman?", ferr's answer didn't sit well with grandpa. I looked at granny, she is silent, but her face was laced with worry.

But My thought is, why he was unwanted?!

The atmosphere around us was quiet. Too quiet! I feel like everything had fallen silent, even the wind seemed to have died down.

"So, how was your trip, grandpa? I hope you guys enjoyed it a lot", I tried to change the topic, as I feel like it's not going in a good way.

"It's great, sweety", he muttered, his excitement seemed to fade off. I heaved out a sigh as I looked out for a serving tray.

"So, how is your business going on?", granny queried. Thank God! This time the conversation is not going on the wrong track.

"From the moment, My Little Flower came into My Life, everything is great. She will always be the best thing that happened to me in this lifetime", his eyes locked with mine as I smiled up at him, my heart fluttered by his words.

"But it's great only for me, not for her, Mrs.Hardy", he continued with his eyes still fixed on me, instantly my smile changed into a deep frown.

What he is saying?...

"She loves me so much but I gave her nothing but pain at the end of the day. She got targeted because of me, she got kidnap-", before he could any further, I shouted his name to make him stop.

A full-blown panic hit me, it loomed larger until I could feel the sweat run down my neck. I looked at My grandparents both stared at him, wide-eyed too shocked to speak.

"She got kidnapped because of me-", he began to continue further but I interrupted him again.

"Ferr, I said stop", I screamed at him making my way out from the kitchen as the tension in the room ratcheted up a notch.

"Continue", grandpa's jaw tightened as his eyes flashed a warning at me, to not interfere while grandma's eyes studied him intently. But Ferr seems unfazed by this all.
