His Little FLOWER novel Chapter 33

A Few Months Later...

MORNING 10 A.M.

ROSE POV:

After all these months, still, I'm in my hometown, not interested to back to Manhattan anymore, not without him. I looked at the wall, seeing the picture of Us. With his eyes closed, he is smiling against my neck.

I close my eyes, letting my mind fill with his voice, letting the tears flow through my cheeks freely. I can feel like hearing him calling me Flower and teasing me like he is just feet away. I wished, if I call his name now, he will step out of the frame.

My thoughts got interrupted by a phone call and it was from Mr.Davies, who is the executive of the Company, I'm currently working.

"Ms.Brooklyn, it would be great if you work for us as a full-time employee, instead of Part-time. You can still be a remote employee and we will give you a rise in salary as well.", he invited, but I felt confused to decide as I requested him to give some time to think about it and he agreed.

I hung up the call, as my room door got opened by Zoe, following her Riley, Leah, Ruby came behind her. As they were laughing about something Leah told.

They are all my best friends during my college time and came here with their boyfriends a week ago. The main reason why they came here is, to make me feel better thinking I'm in deep grief, which is not true.

I'm not hopeless as I still believe that My Ferr will come back. It's hard to hold onto the hope and it would've shattered on that day, where all the news channels and the entire world claimed, he is dead.

I would've believed the news too if I didn't get a call from Hadez, who is his friend. He's the one who made me realize, that this news is not true, it was created just to spur a rumor. He is sure that Ferr is alive, and that boosted my confidence too.

"Babe, tonight we are gonna have a campfire and barbecue. For that, we need to buy some stuff. So, let's go shopping. What do you say?", Ruby proposed, for which I replied, "Sure, babe". If I say No, they will start giving me life lessons.

Making our way outside, I saw Carter, who is waiting for us. Once upon a time, My Crush.

During college time, we dated for barely a week. Our relationship is not a serious one. Neither did I felt like being in love.

He is just my short-lived crush and it took him a second to discard me for a college football cheerleader. The reason is I'm not being cool. Now, it looks like she threw him out in the end.

Reaching the shop, they all went to buy Barbecue essentials while I went to the snacks section as Carter came along with me. He took the shopping basket from me forcefully, following me from behind.

I'm not liking this...

"So, what's your plan for the future?", he initiated the conversation, I looked at him puzzled.

"You know you got a job now, so what's next?", he interrogated, making me realize where this conversation is leading to now.

"Once my boyfriend comes back, you will find out on your own", I smiled at him, as he forced a smile back in return.

"You have to move on. How long do you intend to lie to yourself, thinking he is alive? You got a job, now next to a life partner. I will always support you", he placed his hand on my shoulder, not saying anything in return, I kept on with the shopping.

I stopped fighting with people about this a long time ago. I'm sick of trying to make them understand when they are not even ready to see my point of view. Instead of that, they're trying to feed me off their beliefs and forcing me to accept them except for my Granny.

After buying all the stuff, I and My friends sat on the chair, which is near the billing section as Carter and his friends took care of the bills.

"This is such a gruesome act", I tilted my head towards the direction of that voice. It's from an old lady, confiding about the news, that is going on right now.

I watched the television, which is fitted on top, with the flash news going on...

"Huge clash broke between three Mafia Bosses' in Ethiopia. According to the report, Tadesse and Darragh massacred brutally. It comes off like another Mafia Boss done this gruesome act and his identity is Unknown."

The images of the dead showed in a hazy way, as their face looks repulsive sight to witness.

AFTER 1½ HOUR: 11:30 A.M.

"Babe, we are going to spend some time on the nearby river and you're coming with us too.", Leah sang like a song, making me giggle.

"Ok, You guys get going, I will be back soon", I noted as they all left with their boyfriends, before letting out to come fast.

Entering inside, I was stopped by Grandpa's words, "Rose, where you going?".

Turning around I mumbled out, "To my room". He stared at me knowingly, why I am going inside in a hurry.

"Your phone is here and he didn't call yet", he hands over the phone back to me, as I got it back from him without uttering a word.

"How long you intend to fool yourself, that he might call you. The whole world knows he is dead", he criticized my belief.

"Of course, the whole world believes, because for them he is A Billionaire, A Business tycoon, he is just a piece of hot news for the media. But for me, he is the man I loved. My Ferr, not Ferrari Raffa Knight", I stated the fact, how this world sees him.

He stood still not knowing what to say in return as I made my outside to join with my friends.

JOSH POV:

I looked at the way she left, also the way maria smiles indicating clearly, she is so proud of her. In all these months, she learned to talk skillfully.

"You know what Josh, on that day while she was going out with Linda. I was reading a newspaper which showed on the front page that Ferrari died in a car blast.", she sighed, made me remember that day.

How can I forget that day? I never saw My baby cried out like that before. I personally hate that Ferrari for that one sole reason, making my daughter cry.

"I was too shocked about that news and worried about her. But now I don't feel that way. She is a strong girl now", she proposed, smiling at me.

"Winning her in the conversation is getting impossible nowadays and you're proud of it", I gave her an unbelievable expression, for which she grinned.

"Of course, I'm Proud of her. She is a mature girl now, finally learned how the world works.", She gushed, making me want to roll of eyes at her.

These women are crazy...

7½ HRS BEFORE: MORNING 4 A.M.

CAMORSTA POV:

"So, you're saying we can join in your organization without the fear of getting killed by Raffa.", One of the drug-producing company head, queried.

"Yes, you don't have to fear about that anymore. I assure you all, from now on all the drug exports in the US will be under my control.", I stated proudly to all the Company heads who are all assembled here. After a long time. I began to feel the taste of success again.

"Who is taking the Charge of SottoCapo(UnderBoss)!?", As another one, picked a question.

Before I could answer, another question broke out, "Where is Dimitri?".

Shit! I thought they all forgot about him after all these months. Who the hell knows? All I know is that he went to Texas to kill Raffa's woman taking hundreds of My Soldiers.

Till now, not even a single soul came back, nor do I have any idea where they are all. About Dimitri, that cunt ran away somewhere leaving his position and everything behind. Now, no one is coming in front to kill his woman, no matter what.

"He is in a deep grief after losing his two sons'. So, he left the business", I stated, as all accepted with my opinion. The truth is, I couldn't even get to know the motive of his decision.

"I already chose A New SottoCapo. Here, My Son, Romano Camorsta. From now on, he is the UnderBoss. In the future he will be the Boss", I revealed as my son stood beside me with a prideful smirk.

"So-", My speech was interrupted by a phone call from My friend, Tadesse. Why he is calling me at this time? Excusing myself, I made my way outside to attend the call.

The moment I attended the call, I jerked the phone away startled by the horrendous scream from the other side of the phone, and the voice belongs to Tadesse.

"Tadesse, what's wrong? Are you ok?", I yelled out, getting frustrated by his painful cry. In return, I heard a booming sound of something clanking hard against another, as it made him cry out aloud, in a way it echoed out of my phone.

"Save me, he is ali-", before he could finish the word, the phone cut off with a short beep. I tried to call him again, but it was switched off.

Something is off. Who could have possibly done this!? He said save me, then he is ali... Could it be him? No, he is dead. Then, who is it? For now, I should finish the meeting, after my organization comes everything.

I reached back to the meeting arena, as all gaped at their phone in silence and looked at each other in a tense way.

"So, Gentlemen's-", before I could start, I was interrupted by one of the clients, Clarke as he blurted out a question.

"Where is Tadesse?", he inquired, out of nowhere. Why the fuck he is inquiring about him?

"Tadesse? He is in Ethiopia. At this time he must be probably sleeping", I acted normal.

"Maybe a permanent sleep", as another client of mine, Wilson told, revealing his phone screen in front of my face.
