Legacy (Lucero's Series -Book #1) {Completed}

Chapter 12

Molly walks in the room as soon as Lucero walks out, she turns to watch at Flora who was already asleep, she smiles as she walks towards the bed and puts the blanket around Flora. She picks up the glass off the table and puts it away.

She makes her way to where Lance was sleeping, she checks in his diaper making sure it was not heavy before she walks towards the couch only to get startled.

"Why?" Flora's voices as she gets up and sit on the bed.

"Oh my, you scared me" Molly gasps putting her hand on her chest.

"And you think I want to dance with happiness knowing your daughter is the reason for all of this?" Flora asks as she points at the boys.

"So, he told you" Molly sighs as if in relief.

"I wish he did not" she glares at Molly who smiles.

"When we got the news about master marriage, all of us were wary wondering what kind of woman will she be, and I had doubts if these boys will be accepted"

"How selfish and cruel of you all" she interrupts Molly.

"I am just a slave of this house"

"Of course, and I am sure you were so bounded that you could not stop your own daughter or maybe you were the one who pushed her towards my husband to seduce him and"

"I understand that you are emotional"

"No, you do not, none of you do. Emotional, you think I am being emotional trust me I am far from it. How will you know what I am going through when even I do not know it myself?

Why do I have to look after these kids that are not even mine? Why am I even doing this to myself?" she shouts before she covers her face in her hands feeling helpless.

"You should sleep off" Molly suggests, and Flora pushes the blanket off her as she storms out of the room without a word and Molly slums on the couch shaking her head not knowing what she can do to help anyone of them.

*******

Flora wraps her arms around her as she keeps on walking out of the house as it was not just her head but her life as well, in a mess.

She does not know where she was going as she wanders off wanting to free herself for the unwanted burdens, she had locked herself in. She just walked out of one prison to another.

No matter how much she shouts or cry she knows not an inch of her life will change nor the people in her life. Trying to control her emotions Flora stops as she takes a deep breath and stares up at the sky.

"I am too young to die of heart disease" she sighs taking deep calm breath.

"I am too young to let any hope die in me"

"I am too young to let someone push me around"

"I am too fucking young, you hear me" she shouts at the sky before she opens her eyes at glares at the dark sky.

Flora yelps startled as she hears something moving behind her and turns at once, scared.

"Who is there?" she asks as she looks around and when she finds she one she starts to walk back to her home.

"This much bravery is enough" she grumbles to herself.

A year later...

Spencer smiles as he finds Flora alone in the room, he makes his way towards her to greet before stopping as one of the boys jumps out of nowhere on him to stop him.
