Chapter 09

"To me, anything that comes out of your mouth is bullshit!"

--

"You should have trusted me and not on Rose's bullshit!" Jason snapped in frustration.

"A traitor like you is bullshit, Jason!" Flower's tone was sharp as the blade of a sword thrust straight into her heart.

"I know Rose is your sister, but you should have trusted me as your fiancé and not your psychopathic sister."

"Ex-fiancé, take note of that!" Flower's hiss mingled with the sound of gritting teeth.

"Yeah, that's true. But I'm talking about this first, Flow. When we were still engaged, you should have trusted me more and not your psychopathic sister."

Flower growled. Even though she hated her sister so much, she didn't like it when other people insulted her own sister.

"You're the psychopath here. You're already engaged to me, but..." Flower deliberately paused while giving him a disgusted look.

"You slept with Rose. You two make love to each other very passionately and even moan together. So, you two are the disgusting ones! You two are more compatible with trash!"

"Your sister is disgusting because she set me up!"

Flower put a smirk on her face. "And that so-called disgusting woman is currently carrying your child, Mr Jason!" At the same time, she walked straight to the elevator.

"Wait!"

Flower immediately stopped walking and turned her face. And, of course, she pelted Jason with disgust. "What else, huh?"

Jason got closer. "You have to trust me, Flow. Everything that happened was not what I wanted. In my heart, there's only one name, and that's you, Flower Carnabel."

Flowers didn't answer. She remained silent by closing her lips tightly. Meanwhile, the man who was her ex-fiancé continued to talk at length to convince her.

Disgusted was the only word describing how Flower was feeling right now.

"Are you done?"

"I'll never stop talking until you believe I'm innocent of this. I was framed, Flow. I'm a completely helpless man and was fascinated by Rose."

Any explanation still didn't change Flower's decision to remain silent. Not that she didn't want to talk, but it was just that she was too fed up with this man in front of her and also her sister, Rose Gardenia.

Being treated to Flower's response, who still didn't want to listen to his explanation, had made him frustrated.

He repeatedly rubbed his face roughly.

"What else do I have to say to make you believe, Flow? What? Tell me!" He shook Flower' slender shoulders.

Honestly, Flow could see the glaring destruction clearly through his eyes. Still, the night she had been confronted with Jason and Rose's bed scene had made her lose all trust.

This incident has made Flower lose her confidence. Luckily, she met Karyl. She was a kind woman who made her excited again to live her life until she was named an icon of BM Magazine.

No one knew how long Flower Carnabel had been dragged back into the swift currents of the past. What was clear was Jason's voice brought her back to her senses.

Jason caressed Flower's cheeks with tenderness. "Listen to me, Flow. No matter how hard you try to hide your feelings, these tears are real witnesses that you still have feelings for me."

He wiped the tears with his thumb, but she immediately brushed it away with a look full of deep wounds.

"Don't ever show your face in front of me. I don't want to strain my eyes with dirt like you!"

"How dare you speak painfully like this, Flow?" Jason shouted.

Unfortunately, Flower didn't want to listen. Even now, her body had sunk between the elevator doors.

"Arrggghh," Jason shouted in frustration.

Unable to bear with frustration, he hit his hands against the wall repeatedly until fresh blood seeped through between his fingers. Even so, he totally ignored it. What he needed right now was an outlet for the pain.

Thousands of sarcastic words welcomed Flower's arrival at the shooting location.

"Your rants hurt my ears, Karyl!"

"If you don't want your ears to hurt from my babbling, then work professionally."

"Can't you shut up, Karyl?!" Flower shouted until the sound of her screams was deafening.

"As your manager, I must be firm on your completely unprofessional way of working, Ms Flow."

Flower's gaze sharpened. "Unprofessional? Even now, I have arrived here. Call the make-up team now!"

Karyl didn't answer except to shower Flower with deadly glares.

"Why are you still standing there, huh? Are your ears deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?" Flower snapped as her footsteps approached the manager.

"Call the make-up team to this room now!" Flower emphasised every word.

"Your photoshoot was at nine, and it's now fifty-four minutes past nine. You're an hour late."

"One hour to six minutes." Flower denied. She didn't want to lose.

"We'd better leave this place and please face Mr Obsen's wrath yourself tomorrow morning!" Karyl hissed before walking out of the room.

Unfortunately, after only a few steps,  Flower's voice stopped her. "Wait!"

"What else?" Karyl asked with her back turned.

"Where's the make-up team and also the photographer?"

Karyl turned her face with a cynical look. "You ask where they are? Without me telling you, you would know where they are now, Ms Flower Carnabel!"

"Aarrgghh," Flower shouted, frustrated. She hit her hand on the table.

Her breath seemed to be racing. Her chest rose and fell with anger. Her eyes turned dark as the colour of blood.

"All this mess came from you, Darren Ewald Gilbert. You have to take responsibility for it all!" Flower snapped, combined with both hands clenched tightly until fresh blood seemed to seep through between her fingers due to being stuck in her nails.

"There's no need to regret what has happened. You'd better just reflect on your mistakes, and hopefully, you will realise not to repeat the same mistakes."

"SHUT UP!" Flower exclaimed.

"There's no point in talking to you, Flow," Karyl replied cynically. At the same time, she immediately left the room, leaving Flower alone to face the growing anger over the misfortunes in her life.

"I'm pretty sure that Obsen will be furious and immediately switch the icon of BM Magazine on the despicable woman, Alexa Canberra." Karyl hiss mingled with her jaw clenched.
