🥀His encounter with a widow🥀
•(love and lies)•
🌺Episode Two🌺
Flora POV:
#The_following_morning
I came out of my room and shut the door behind me.
I was walking down the hallway when I saw my mum approaching me; I rolled my eyes and halted my steps.
I avoided her throughout since our last conversation yesterday- and i was glad she understood.
“Good morning Flora” she greeted with all smiles as she stand in front of me but I only nodded and look away from her face.
“Ryder is here to see you” she announced as I walk past her and i stop walking immediately.
“I didn’t hear you” I turned to her and she sighed.
“For goodness sake Mum; I’m still a widow!” I thundered and she slowly bring her face down.
“Why on earth is he here to see me?” I inquired coldly and she lifted her face.
“Just to pay you a visit and that’s all dear” she replied calmly and I huffed as I counted two steps closer to her.
“You’ve done enough mum, don’t think you can ever force me into getting married again; you will regret it” I threatened with clenched teeth and I watch as her eyes dilated in surprise.
Good.
I turned my back against her;
and finally walked down the hallway.

• Ryder POV•
I sit patiently on a single couch in the living room-waiting for her.
If you ask me why I am here?
I really don’t know, I just want to see her face I guess.
She never smiles to me but I can watch her gladly all day smiling with another person; that’s how much I like her.
She’s not aware though because I never show it;
besides she was my older brother’s wife so I have to respect that.
It hurts she ended with my brother but what can I do?
Xavier was the first child; he had to get married before me.
Flora’s mum and my mum are close friends and I’ve had my eyes on her since the very first day her mum brought her to our mansion.
Well.. it’s all good now since my brother is gone; I can have my Flora for myself alone.
I glance up to the stairs and see her climbing down the last stairs.
F**k!
Until when is she going to stop wearing those black dresses- I thought with a secret eye roll and adjusted my grey shirt.
I watch her back as she stride out of the building and I crease my brows in confusion.
Hold on.. she didn’t see me or she decided to ignore me?
The thought of her ignoring me shattered my heart; no one ever does that to me.
I’m Ryder Gabriel.
I sprang on my feet and motioned to the door.
I pray she says she didn’t see me because I want to start acting being nice to her and that includes the reason I’m here this morning,and if she says she deliberately ignored me;
then I might lose it.
I got to the facade of the building and look around for her.
And my eyes landed on her back-standing very close to the garden.
Good.
I marched towards the garden; trying my possible best to control my anger.
“You didn’t just ignore me, did you?” I asked her immediately I got behind her.
She turned to me and stare at my face for some seconds before taking her eyes back.
What the?!
“Flora,I’m talking to you” I said sternly as I grab her arm and she turned to me with rage.
“What’s your problem Ryder?” She roared as she yanked her arm from my hand and I took a step backward as my eyes w¡dened.
What’s wrong with her?
Where did she get the gut from?
“If you really think I’m going to get married to you;then I’m sorry to inform you that you are wrong, I will rather die being a widow than to end up with someone like you” she rasped and my eyes bulged at all I just heard.
Getting married?
“Flora” I called but she has turned and left.
I stood rooted as I watch her back till she step into the building.
What was that?
What’s she trying to say?
Getting married to me?
Oh no.. I guess she is affected by her widow state.
———-
I barged into the living room furiously.
I still can’t believe Flora could talk to me in that manner.
I met her sitting on the long couch- watching the TV screen.
I scoffed softly and made to ascend the stairs.
“You are back?” I heard her voice and turned to her on her seat.
Isn’t it obvious enough that I didn’t want to greet her.
“Ryder” she called me as I climb the first step.
Gosh!
What’s her problem?
“I have something important to tell you” she stand on her feet and beckoned me to come closer.
I rolled my eyes and slowly walk fully into the living room.
“Son” she cooed but I just stare at her-wondering what she’s up to.
She’s my mum but she deprived me the motherly love any child could wish for and gave it all to Xavier.
She doesn’t love me because I never listens to her- who cares tho.
And now that her precious son is gone; I don’t understand why she’s acting all nice to me.
“Uhm.. you see” she started and I watch her with my hands in my trouser pocket.
“You will be getting married to Flora in the next few months” she declared and I scoff looking elsewhere.
Hold on…
*If you really think I’m going to get married to you;then I’m sorry to inform you that you are wrong, I will rather die being a widow than to end up with someone like you*
Flora words reeled through my mind and I stand properly as I face Mum again.
“What are you saying?” I asked her coldly and she breathe in and breathe out.
“You dad and I suggested you should get married to her, since your brother is no more” she told me but I just watch her speechlessly.
So Flora was right all along.
“Then why are you just telling me, don’t I have a say to this?” I inquired.
“The same way Xavier was not chance to make his choice, you want me to go through that also right?” I added and she smile.
“We know what’s good for you son; Flora is the only girl for you..she’s a sweet girl right?” She said beaming with smiles but I just huff and turned my back.
**
I plonked myself tiredly on the bed as I lay on my back.
Of course Xavier was the only person they can easily boss around unlike me; I really don’t give a damn about them so I can easily turn them down.
But here is a chance; I mean I’ve always wanted Flora for myself right?
I smile broadly as I think about the wh0le thing again.
“Get ready for your new husband to be Flora” I muttered to myself as I rolled to the other side of the bed.
