Percy paced up and down her room, as she waited for good news from the people she had hired. After waiting for a while, she finally received a call from the leader of the men who told her, "Unfortunately, I have bad news." "What happened? You didn't get her?" She asked. "When we arrived at her house, we found her door locked. We broke in and searched the house, but there was no one inside." The man explained. "What? So where could she be?" Percy asked anxiously. "I saw her drive away. Where else would she go if not her house? I know for a fact that she went home. Or could she have gone to the hospital? You know what, go to the hospital and look for her. If you do not see her, take her Mom. I'm going to send you her Mom's picture, coupled with her name and the ward she's in. I'm sure Sarah is there, but if you can't find her, bring her Mom. If you find both Sarah and her mom, bring both of them. No matter what, I want them." The man assured her that it would be done i
Angel moved away from Alex's arms, glaring at him while he had a pleasant expression on his face. The girl who had introduced herself as his girlfriend was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Angel. However, Angel caught her hand and pushed it away. Afterward, Angel turned and walked out of the office. "Hold on!" Alex said as he tried to go after Angel, but the girl grabbed his hand and pulled him back. "What are you doing? Why are you doing this, Alex? You know how much you mean to me and you know how much my father values you because of that. Do you want to ruin everything you've worked for up until now?" He sighed, "C'mon, Christy. Read the writing on the wall, 'I am not into you'. You've always claimed that you and I are dating, but I've never asked you out. I've never accepted to be your boyfriend and I've never accepted to marry you. Stop trying to ruin my love life and going around telling people we're dating." She scoffed, "Really? You didn't have a
The moment Alex showed up in front of the room which had been left open, Finn and Tracy stared at him in shock. Seeing Angel on the ground, weak and about to be fed poison, Alex lost it and charged towards Finn and Tracy. At that moment, Finn tried to forcefully feed the poison to Angel so she would die before Alex could intervene. However, Alex kicked the poison off his hand, and it fell to the ground. Tracy picked up the same weapon she had used on Angel, ready to strike it against Alex, but he punched her face before she could, and she moved backward, fell to the ground, and lost consciousness. Finn attacked Alex and tried to fight him, but he was no match for him. Eventually, he ended up on the floor too, just like Tracy had done. Alex's heart was beating so fast as he held Angel in his arms and shook her, "Angel, Angel, are you okay?" She stared at him with a dizzy expression, "Thank you." Hands shaking, Alex took out his phone from his pocket and quickly called t
Alex left his company with a profound smile on his face. On his way back home, he kept thinking about what he could buy as a gift for Angel and said to himself, "All women love flowers. I'm sure she'd be very happy if I got her a beautiful bouquet." He made a stop at a flower shop and got a big bouquet for her. Afterward, he drove back to his house.When he arrived home, however, he felt that something was off, judging by how quiet it was.But on second thought, he realized that she could be sleeping, since she was still taking the medication the doctor had given to her. He quietly walked to her room, hoping to surprise her with the flowers, but when he entered the room, he noticed that her bed had been neatly arranged. "Angel, are you in the bathroom?" He asked but there was no response. He walked toward the bathroom, and knocked, but didn't get any answer from her. When he came out, he decided to check if she was in the kitchen or his bedroom.However, he neither found her
Alex sat in a bar drinking from his second wine bottle for the night. His sister, Beauty pulled the bottle away from his hand and asked, "What is wrong with you, Alex? I've never seen you feel so sad because of a woman." He smiled bitterly, "Yeah, but you do know Angel is different, right? I've always told you about how much I liked her." Beauty sighed, “Yeah, but, you're Alex. If she doesn't want to be with you, just forget about her and move on." He shook his head, "I can't! You won't understand. I just don't get her. I feel something is wrong somewhere. I mean, Angel was very rude to me; she even slapped me. The Angel I know wouldn't do that even if she was mad at me. She would not say such terrible things to me and I don't even know what I did wrong. Why won't she give me a chance?" "Perhaps, she just needs time." Beauty replied. "You said she kept complaining about you crossing the line because she's a married woman. Maybe what she wants is to get divorced first." He
Angel stared at Alex with a guilty expression on her face. She never realized how much he loved her until Christy threatened her.She believed it would only get harder if she stayed by his side. So, she shook her head, "I'm sorry, Alex but I need to go."Pulling her hand away from his hold, she got up and began to walk out of the room. However, Alex got up as well and hugged her from behind.As his lips touched the back of her neck, she swallowed. Her heart began to race, and she knew that if she didn't leave at that moment, she would not be able to.She turned, intending to push him away and say some harsh words, as she believed he would only let her go if she got him upset.However, he caught her face before she could speak and whispered, "I love you, my Angel.""But I don't..." Her words were silenced as his lips suddenly plastered onto hers.At that moment, Angel felt weak in the knees and was unable to push him away.She dropped her bag and her hands went around his back as she k
In the morning, when Sarah woke up, she washed her mouth and came out of the guest room where she had spent the night. She saw Ashton all dressed up for work, seated in the dining, with the table already arrayed with food. "Good morning," she said cheerfully. "You made breakfast?" He smiled, "Yeah, I figured you may have been traumatized by what happened last night, and even though you tried to act tough, it probably causes you nightmares. I count myself a tad responsible, so I decided to do something nice for you this morning. Hopefully, it'll help a little." She smiled, "Wow! Thank you, I'm really touched. But you didn't have to. I mean, I'm a good cook, and I should be the one making meals for you, right?" He shook his head, "You don't have to go through the trouble. I'm a good cook and that aside, I have a few domestic staff. They come in every evening and make sure everything is prepared for me, so I can cook the next morning. I like to make my food." She raised h
After eating, Sarah got ready to leave and asked the bodyguards to take her to her house. When she got home, she noticed that her house had been vandalized and her mind immediately went back to what happened the previous night. She concluded that it was the handwork of Pamela and her goons. Accompanied by her bodyguards, she put the house in order and packed up some of her clothes and important stuff she needed before returning to Ashton's house. She was happy to be in his house, but a part of her felt guilty because she knew that her feelings towards Ashton were not platonic, whereas he merely saw her as a partner in the game he was using to teach Percy a lesson. After bringing her things home, she stopped by the hospital and spent time with her Mom. She was relieved to see that her Mom's health had improved a lot and the hospital was a private one. Due to Ashton's orders, she was almost not allowed inside the room. It was only after Ashton gave his consent over the phone
