The story of A Lonely Flower.
"The people want to know. What is your favourite flower?" She asked.
A question I dread.
What do you think of when you hear the word "Flower"?
Beauty?
Grace?
Perfection?
A sight that brings Hope?
A sight that brings Joy?
Well to me the word flower itself is a prison. A prison I can't seem to escape from. Remember all those lovely thoughts you had answering my question? Take them, step on them, chop them up, toss them in a bin and burn them. Your result is what I think.
The complete opposite of what you thought. That's what I think. So, knowing this, how could I possibly have a favourite flower. But if I said that, I wouldn't be perfect. I wouldn't be Gardenia's Brightest Flower.
But I want to be honest so I'll think about the consequences later, "Ha-ha. Ironically... I don't like flowers."
"What?" The interviewer seemed shocked. "You heard it here first folks! Rose Fleur, Gardenia's brightest flower doesn't like flowers!"
I answered the rest of the questions then the interview ended.
While leaving my elder sister confronted me, "What the hell was that?"
"What?"
"You don't like flowers!? How could the person with the nickname The Brightest Flower, whose name is Rose Flower not like flowers!?" She was upset.
But I still wanted to be honest, "It's only the truth."
"How many times do I have to tell you? You are famous! People don't care about the truth. They want to hear what is expected of you!" She scolded me.
"Yeah... My thoughts and ideas... don't matter."
"Exactly! You should have just said roses as we practised."
"What's done is done." I wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.
"Right, but it won't happen again."

Unease - Four ways to fall
She trusts everyone. She always sees the good in people. Not because she's naïve, but because she chooses to trust. Every time, she chooses to believe that people are more than their worst side. She's sensitive, emotional, radiant. And she's used to earning everything on her own. He's been burned by love. He's spent his life chasing the wrong person, skimming the surface so he wouldn't have to feel too much-because the only one who ever truly loved him left far too soon. He comes from an important family, from a world where the path is already set and choices are never truly free. She speaks with her heart in her hands, lets herself go, trusts him without knowing who he really is. And that throws him into crisis. He desires her, but he can't afford her. In his polished world, built on appearances and opportunism, Aurora is an anomaly. Almost like a magic lamp. She doesn't seek perfection. She doesn't demand excellence. She asks only for honesty. A sincerity he isn't capable of giving. Aurora has never felt interest in anyone-she's never been with any boy. Yet being close to him ignites desires and sensations she can't name. Tom is ironic, brilliant, magnetic. An arrogant show-off with freckles and a breathtaking smile. But behind those smiles there's something that doesn't add up. A shadow she senses without being able to define it. And yet she can't stop choosing him. Even when everyone around her keeps warning her.Complete

There's a motive - I know there is. A man like him doesn't play games without a reason. But strangely, I don't care. I should. But I don't. Because I don't want him for love. I don't want him for peace. I want him because he's mine. I've said it before, and I'll scream it again - If I ever leave him, I'll kill him, then kill myself, and find him in hell.

time to close this place up' locking up the front, I slid the security doors closed and locked it. 'i need a decent meal and some sleep' leaving my work, I got in my car and drove back to my apartment. 'what the fuck are these?' looking at the flowers I scrunched up my nose. 'they just wilt and die. Why would someone place these at my door?. Whoever the hell it is, needs to get some help' leaving the flowers at the door, I walked inside and closed the door. 'they can die at the door. I need food then I need to find a new bank. I have had that account with my current bank for many years but I also know there's a trustee on there that I do not want. Maybe I can go see Janet. I know she won't mess around' hearing a knock I ignored it and stayed as quiet as I could. 'my bet is whoever left those flowers is now at my door. I can also bet it's Julius. Shit my phone' turning my phone on silent, I put it on the bench as it rang. 'yep. As expected it's Julius. Argh I could use a release. I didn't get that man's number and I don't plan to. I don't even know his name. Those things weren't discussed. We didn't discuss anything in regards to names, ages, occupations. There's no need for that' finishing making up my dinner, I then served it and sat down at my table. 'finally some peace'.Complete

I took a deep breath and told myself that Christian didn't notice anything about me, but, what if Lissa does?

billionaire's love
Aimlessly, Donna was plodding sluggishly. The clock had hit the 4 am. She was in the search of peace and was wandering on countryside to find serenity. She wanted her mind to stay tranquil rather than filled by chaos. It was still dark. Moon was glinting. Everyone was in deep slumber but she was restless and plodding. It was the end of spring in Italy. She was at the EUR district. She looked at the beauty of that place. The trees of cherry blossoms bloomed already. But some splendid beauty of those blossoms still alive. She stirred and moved forward. A single blossom bloomed and landed on her cheek. She thumped it and looked. It was like blossoms wanted to say, "stay happy and enjoy the beauty of this world. Don't let anyone to invade your tranquil life. Let the thing dropped on their own." Again, a blossom landed on her nose. The blossoming started. She curved her lips into a smile. "Daughter, always remember that these cherry blossoms are the flower of birth, so delicate and fragile like a human existence. It cherishes and blooms the world and then disappears leaving behind their rare splendour beauty." She was reminding her mother's word when she was five, which made a gush of blood flow into her veins. --------------------------------------------------------- Date- 6 July, 2020, from today, I am going to edit my this book again as it is not upto mark for me and I want to do justice with my book!! Caution- i write the story when I was 16, so it may become cringe sometimes.Complete
