One Week Later

Flora sat around her desk at work, about to put away the file of her latest client. Taking up the file, she looked across from her to see Helia talking to Daphne.

For the past week the two old friends have been spending as much time as possible. The brunette wouldn't have a problem with friends talking but during the course of the week she felt like Helia doesn't pay her any attention.

'Maybe I am over thinking this. They could only be friends…' She thought, putting away the file. 'If I believed that I wouldn't feel like Daphne and Helia could be… No! I need to trust him, no matter how insecure I feel.'

"Flora!" Griffin called out, stepping out of her office.

Standing up, she said. "Yes, Ms Griffin?"

"Here is your next client." She threw a folder to the wedding planner.

Flora groaned softly as the item hit her on the face. Taking it with her hands, the brunette muttered. "I will get to it, Ms Griffin."

"Mush!" Griffin shouted. "When you finish with that, come back and clean up my office."

"I am a wedding planner, not your personal maid." Flora replied, getting annoyed.

"And I sign your paycheck so you are my maid and lapdog."

"You are a witch!" Flora whispered, trying to remain calm.

"What was that, Linepha?" The elderly female questioned.

"I will get on it, your highness." Flora spoke, getting ready to leave.

"Good." Griffin smirked, going into her office.

Once the young female got everything she looked over to see Helia and Daphne getting up.

Flora smiled thinking he was going to carry her to the church.

Helia looked to his girlfriend. "I am taking Daphne to eat lunch. Do you want anything?"

"No!" Flora tried not to be upset. "Only to point out that it's only nine a.m. So you got at least three more hours till lunch."

"I thought it after twelve." Daphne looked at her silver watch. "Well Helia can you take me out to brunch? I am hungry."

"One! Two! Three!" Flora breathed, heavily as she left the room upset.

"Flora…" Helia called out, wondering what's wrong with her.


Flora stood in front of an old, brick church. Checking to make she had everything, the brunette entered the church to see a person she never expected to see again.

Standing before her was Diaspro with Jared, the cameraman that worked beside her before Helia came.

"Fauna, you're late!" Diaspro yelled.

Flora felt her eye starting to twitch as she approached the couple. 'I should have read the file before coming here. Now I have to deal with the face of evil.'

"Diaspro, relax." Jared scolded her. "Flora is on time. We just came early."

"Shut up!" She yelled, pointing to the brunette. "You're the reason Nex didn't go through with the wedding and cancelled it three days before."

Reaching the pair, Flora cleared her throat before speaking. "The last time I checked, Nex cancelled the wedding was because of the marriage consoling sessions I suggest you two attend. Clearly he saw some things in you he didn't like and decided to break up with you."

"Thanks to those sessions we attended, he broke off the engagement and told me to go to hell." The blonde hissed.

"That's where you live so I don't see the big deal about it." Flora muttered.

Diaspro became enraged. "Listen Fauna! The only reason why I decided to use back this wedding planning agency is because Griffin agreed to you paying for the wedding. After all you are the reason why the last wedding didn't go through."

"What?!" Flora felt something snap.

"Thank you so much for agreeing to pay for the wedding Flora." Jared smiled. "It really means a lot to get a free wedding."

"It does." Diaspro smirked, folding her hands. "I have expensive taste so I hope your pockets are deep."

"I am not paying for anything." Flora stated, putting down the folder she had in her hand. "The only thing I am giving away for free right now is advice. First of all the reason why Nex ended the relationship is because you're a cold heart, money loving whore. Second of all those marriage sessions I suggest them to every couple. It helps the couples see if they are truly ready for marriage. Last and not least I hope you rot in-."

Diaspro slapped her across the face.

Flora quickly reacted and punched her, knocking the blonde down.

"Diaspro!" Jared ran to his bride to be.

The brunette quietly asked for forgiveness from the Big Guy above before leaving the church.


Reaching the office Flora saw Helia and Daphne around the male's desk talking and eating burgers.

Helia looked over to see Flora with a big red mark where Diaspro slapped her. He got up when Flora pointed to him and indicated he sit down.

Helia did so, seeing how angry she looked.

Griffin came out of her office seconds later and glared at the female. "Flora! How could you punch a client?"

Getting closer to the elderly female, she asked. "How could you tell them that I will pay for everything? I don't have that kind of money to pay for a wedding."

"I was going to take it out of your paychecks for the next year." Griffin informed her.

"Griffin, I have myself and a daughter to take care of." Flora remained her. "It is not my fault why the wicked witch of the west didn't get married."

"I have heard enough out of you." Griffin yelled. "You will go back and apologize to Diaspro then you will plan and pay for her wedding without any complains."

"I am not going to do it." Flora put her foot down.

"It's either that or your fired."

"Then fire me."

"What?" Griffin was surprised by Flora's answer. She didn't want to let go of the best wedding planner in the business.

"Better yet I will do you a favour and just quit." Flora added, making her way over to her desk.

Getting a box, Flora cleared off her desk while the others sat and stood there, surprised by what was going on.

Griffin even recovered from her shock, stormed into her office and slammed the door.

Helia got up and went over to his girlfriend. "Flora, what are you doing?"

"Isn't it clear? I am leaving this agency." She replied, making sure she put everything in the box. "I am surprise you even care."

"What are you talking about? I love you." Helia proclaimed. "Why wouldn't I care?"

"Let's see!" Flora pretended to think for a moment. "Ever since your 'friend' Daphne came you barely noticed anyone else."

"Flora, don't be ridiculous." Helia said, placing a hand on her shoulder.

The brunette brushed it off. Shaking her head for a moment while fighting back the tears, Flora continued. "Helia, ever since she came, I am no longer your girlfriend but just a friend. I had to ask Stella to pick up Layla from school since you have forgotten to do so. You haven't come by the apartment to help her with homework and every time she calls to spend time with you, you're always busy with Daphne. I understand that friends are important but they shouldn't be so important that you forget about your family."

Daphne now felt guilty for interfering with Helia's and Flora's relationship.

"Flower, I didn't realize it." Helia felt bad for neglecting his daughter.

"Maybe I wouldn't be feeling so upset if we didn't have a daughter together." Flora anger soon turned into sadness. "It's one thing to be neglecting me but another when it comes onto Layla. Look Helia. It's clear that you love Daphne more than me so be with her. I am willing to step aside and end this relationship. What I won't do is stand by and let you hurt Layla. It's either you're in her life or you're not."

Finishing what she had to say Flora left.

Reaching outside the building she stopped and turned around to see if Helia was coming after her. Not seeing him, Flora thought. 'We are really over. Good bye Helia.'

She flagged down a taxi before getting into it and headed home.
