THREE YEARS LATER ANGEL Today marked my one-year anniversary with my husband. I got dressed in a sexy blue gown, ordered a nice cake, and decorated the house. Afterward, I waited patiently for him. Our marriage hadn't done so well the past few months, but I was determined to change that. I sat with the cake, waiting for him to come home, but he didn't. At first, it was meant to be a surprise, but since the clock was ticking, I decided to call him. I dialed his number repeatedly, but he did not pick up my call. "Is he okay?" I wondered. I sent him a text, "Please call me, Finn. It's very important." However, my text was not replied to. Nevertheless, I continued to wait for him until I finally fell asleep. When I opened my eyes, it was two in the morning and he wasn't back. I balled my fists as a surge of anger drove through me. "How dare he stand me up?" In the end, I chuckled bitterly, "It's all your fault, Angel. Sitting down here like a jobless person and wait
ANGEL After Finn left, I ignored him and began to prepare myself to go to work the next day. The following morning, I immediately got ready, got dressed as well, and waited for him to get back because I knew he was eventually going to leave for the company. As usual, he came home late and I didn't say a word about it. After he got dressed and wanted to leave, he noticed that I was dressed up to leave as well and asked, "Where are you heading to?" "Isn't it obvious? I'm going to my company," I replied. "What for?" He asked. I scoffed, "Come on, Finn, we've been over this. I own 60% shares in that company, if I don't work now, when would I?" "How about never?" he replied. "Listen, Angel, I've been in that company almost all my life, and I've worked my butt off to get it to the level it is today. There is no space for you in that company." I folded my arms, "And why is that?" "Well, because you have no experience," he replied. "What do you know about working in a compan
ANGEL If I ever had any doubt about divorcing Finn, if I needed anything else to make me convinced that a man like him did not deserve to be anywhere close to me, this was more than enough proof. Naturally, I ought to have been hurt since this man was the man I had married, but instead, I felt relieved. I knew that even if my mom were present and could see what was going on, she would be proud of me for getting rid of such a scumbag. After staring at me for a while, Tracy turned around, picked up her bag, and began to walk out. "Hold on," I said calling her back. "Stay! Aren't you two best friends? Or are you just his whore?" "You will speak to her with respect," Finn angrily yelled at me. "You do not have the right to say anything here or to complain about our relationship." "Yes!" Tracy concurred. "Do you know how long Finn and I have been in love with each other? We have been together from childhood; you are the third person here; you are the whore, the one who tried t
ANGEL As I walked away from the company and got into my car, I thought about how Finn wanted to get rid of me and it made me remember my Mom.She had been so sick but the doctors had been unable to find out what was wrong with her and when I first met her, she seemed a little healthy, although she admitted to me that she had been battling ill health. Her sickness worsened after I came and she ended up dying after I got married to Finn."Could it be that my mom was killed?"I trusted Finn because of how much he cried, but what if he was the one who killed my Mom? I recalled the short moment we spent together and how amazing it had been. I eventually shook the thought off my head, "No, do not dwell on that, Angel. Finn might be a scumbag, but what if he genuinely considered her his Mom?"I could not accuse him without evidence, so I decided to focus on the task at hand. I drove my car to the company I needed to sign a contract with. "Swift Industries."I stared at the skyscraper an
ASHTON I just got back in the city and the wedding I had attended two weeks ago was still fresh in my mind. I could still remember Jade, and how she looked in a white dress. She was the most beautiful bride I had ever seen and her smile...I had never seen her smile so happily. Her three kids looked so happy too and even her husband, Max Anderson, was undoubtedly happy. As I watched them say their vows to each other, they looked perfect, perfect for each other. There was a nagging feeling in my heart, a strong pain, but I knew it was necessary. It was the only way I could move on. Max was a lucky man, I just hope he knew. After their wedding, Jade had been so happy to see me. Max shook hands with me and thanked me for all the good things I had done for Jade. At that point I realized that he wasn't as bad as I had thought, he was a little bit responsible. On her part, Jade thanked me profusely. As I bid goodbye to them, she hugged me and I could see that her eyes we
Just as Alex's lips touched Angel's, a female voice yelled, "Alex!" He immediately moved away, while Angel lowered her face, feeling embarrassed. The girl who was short, and dressed in expensive designer outfits, walked sexily into the office and glared at Angel before turning to Alex, "Who is this bitch? Are you cheating on me?" "Talk about deja vu," Angel thought as she recalled the last time she had been in a house with Alex, three years ago and a girl had showed up and talked down on her. "The only difference is the absence of a hard slap," she told herself. Alex asked the short girl, "How dare you yell in my office? Who the hell do you think you are?" The girl gasped, "Alex!" However, he held her hand, dragged her out of the office and pushed her out, shutting the door. Afterward, he walked back to Angel and said, "I'm sorry.... I...." "No need, there is no need to explain," Angel cut him off. "Alex... well...the thing is, I came to this company to see the CEO b
Once Ashton dropped Percy off and she waved him goodbye and got into the company. She saw Sarah who was dressed in designer clothes. The moment Sarah saw her, Sarah got up. Meanwhile, Percy walked closer to her and gave her a hard slap across her face. Sarah held her cheeks and asked, "What did I do?" "What did you do? You swine. How can you ask me that? Go get out of my clothes! Why are you still putting them on?" Sarah nodded, walked over to the table, and began to change her clothes. While Percy thought, "Ashton Duke, it's only a matter of time before you become mine." After thinking this, Percy quickly called Ashton back and when he saw her call, he sighed. He had just entered the house. But then again, he answered the call and asked, "Who is this?" She said, "Um, this is Percy. The girl you dropped earlier. I just want to let you know that I've thought about what you said earlier and I like the idea of working in your company, I'll do the job." "Good," Ashton replied
Angel stared at Alex's sister in surprise as she asked, "Stole your brother's heart? I think you're mistaking me for someone else." "No? You just told me now that you're Angel and...." "Shh!" Alex said shutting his sister up. "You talk too much." "Okay, in that case, I'll leave you two love birds and talk to you guys later." She moved closer and gave a surprised Angel a hug, afterward, she turned and walked away. "I never knew you had a sister," Angel said to Alex in surprise. He nodded, "Yeah, just like I never knew that everything you told me back then was a lie." She scoffed, "What? You mean you already found out?" "Of course. What did you think? That I would never know?" She sighed and he said, "Ashton told me everything. You know, back then, Ashton also knew that you were able to make use of your legs." She stared at him in surprise, "Really? And he didn't get upset with Sia?" "News flash, her name is Jade, not Sia." "Jade? You're saying Sia Miller is not Sia?" Ang
