Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Yvenne wasn't exactly setting the academic world on fire, and if it weren't for her designer credentials, she'd be in a tough spot. Since sending her back wasn't an option, folks kept bugging Fiona, hoping Keaton might step in and take Yvenne off their hands.

But Yvenne wasn't clueless. She got what was going on and had zero plans to head back. If she did, her classmates in class nineteen would have a field day mocking her, not to mention the other students would pile on the ridicule.

She wasn't about to be anyone's laughingstock.

Fiona slid her phone back into her pocket and gestured toward a room in the office. "You'll be staying there for now. I'll get meals delivered to you. If there's something specific you want, just give me a holler, and I'll make sure it arrives with your next meal."

"Ms. Fiona, you can't keep me here," Erica shot a glare at Fiona, her eyes intense, like she was trying to read her mind. With a sneer, she continued, "I won't let you harm my baby. It's hard enough for me to get pregnant, and if something happens to this child, I won't let it slide."

"Suit yourself," Fiona replied with a slight smile, turning on her heel and leaving the hospital. She wasn't too worried about Erica stirring up trouble. Her real concern was Erica actually listening to her, which would mess up her plans.

Allen's move to bring his cousin for an abortion was fishy. A cousin gets pregnant, and instead of looping in the parents, her brother takes her to the hospital? Fiona wasn't born yesterday.

Back on campus, Fiona tracked down Nash. It was free time during gym class, and she casually threw an arm around Nash's shoulder.

"Nash, I want to check out the Woods family's media company."

Seeing that mischievous grin on Fiona's face sent a shiver down Nash's spine.

"What are you up to?" he asked warily, sneaking a glance at Fiona before going beet red.

He'd never been this close to Fiona before, and the nice scent she carried was making his head spin. He looked away.

"Take me there, or I'll spill to your brother about that two you scored on your test!"

In a flash, Nash snapped out of it,

re

whipping around and shrugging her handoff indignantly. "You can't tell Jackson!"

If Jackson found out about his lousy score, Nash would be in deep trouble.

"Then take me to see it."

"Are you planning to see Allen?" Nash asked.

Fiona kept quiet, which Nash took as a yes.

He frowned. If Fiona was hoping to see Allen, she was in for a letdown.

"You want to think twice.

Allen's been getting a lot of bad press lately. Even Jackson

needs to chill and sort him Sa

he

out."

Thinking about Erica's situation, Fiona couldn't help but dig a little deeper. "What's going on?"noveldrama

They found a quiet spot on the field, and Nash finally spilled the beans.

Turns out, Allen's supposed

romance got leaked, along with

rumors about his mom climbing the social ladder as a mistress. Plus, Allen himself was said to be tangled up with several actresses on the down-low.
