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

Chapter 32

Flora stops on the hallway on her way to freshen up she so desperately wants as her head was buzzing loudly making her think things she did not want to believe. But as she finds her father-in-law walking out of a room she stops. The man pauses on his steps as well and nods her way.

"Searching for Leon?" he asks her and before she can say no he points at the door he walks out of.

"He is inside, you two should try to talk and make sure you act like a couple in front of everyone here, no one needs to know the problems between you two...

Especially the men at the party who are going to be investing in our company" he suggests as he walks pasts her and Flora closes her eyes taking deep calm breath before she walks in the room.

"Leave me alone" Lucero states as he hears the door open before it closes.

He frowns when he hears no reply so he turns around only to stumble as someone shoves him, hard.

"What..." he curses as he turns at once to check who the person was only to stop as Flora once again shoves him with both her hands on his chest.

Lucero frowns not understanding what was on going as she keeps pushing him until his back hits the wall.

"Stop" he asks but she does not as her push turns into hits on his chest so he grabs both her wrist to stop her.

"What's wrong?" he questions not understanding her anger but before he hears her words, he hears her sobs.

And alarm goes off in his head as she puts her head on his chest and cries without a word.

"What happened? Are you hurt?" he worries as he lets go of her and cups her face but she pushes his hands away clutching the lapel of his coat and Lucero does not know what was wrong with her.

As she was fine when he left her in the party with...

"Did someone hurt you?" he demands as he checks for any marks in her body but she shakes her head as she does not know why she could not stop crying.

"Flora, what is it? You are worrying me, did someone said or did something to upset you? Is it the boys? Did something happen back at home?" he keeps on asking but all he gets are her cries.

"Goddammit baby, talk to me. Why are you crying?" he groans as he wraps his arms around her not knowing what else to do.

"How much..." she finally stutters and he breathes out.

"How much what?" he asks as he once again cups her face and stares in her eyes.

"How much...to...to...sleep...my father...money...how...how much...giving you...money" she cries the words out as her body shakes and his stills when he makes the sense of it.

*******

"Who did you talk to?" Lucero asks slowly as his minds runs remembering the faces and names of the men she must have met.

"How much does a kiss with you costs? Or it goes for your touches as well" she dares as she finally collects strength enough to speak clearly.

"Don't" he warns and she shuffles in his arms trying to step away from him, but he was having none of it.

"I asked you something" he reminds as he glares her way and she hits him again on his chest so her could let her go.

"And I asked you something as well" she groans when she fails to push him away.

"That is an accusation not a question" he points and she glares at him with teary eyes.

"One you are not denying or are you thinking of ways to fool me again?"
