Beauty and Her Beast Chapter 27: Angela pov
I’m in shock. I barely feel the pain from after her hand impacted my face anymore. Grant is quiet next to me as we drive back but I can feel he is livid on my behalf and yet he is confused because I claimed not to know her. The truth is, I did know her but now I don’t know what to think and the more I think about what happened the more confused I become. I don’t remember falling asleep but when I awake, I find myself on the bed in Grant’s bedroom. I stand and walk into the bathroom, looking in the mirror to inspect the damage. Horror fills me as I see a perfect handprint still visible on my cheek from where she struck me so hard. I gingerly press my fingers to the area and wince at the sting before I hear a whimper behind me. Looking around I spot Lobo watching close by and smile at him. “Hey boy. Come here.” He walks forward into my embrace, and I cuddle into his fur. “Thank you. You came to defend me from the mean lady, and I love you for that. Of course, Grant came too didn’

“Well, Miranda, is my mother’s name and also the name that woman uses so I’m a little unsure there, but something tells me that Miranda, really is my mother. My dad is Henry but I’m not sure what my real surname is as Grey is what 'fake' mother told me my name was, but she changed hers to match Terry.” “Were you at their wedding?” I frown thinking about it and then shake my head. “No, I asked once, and she told me that she met and married him while I was in a coma after the accident. She never told me how long I was in the coma though.” “The more I hear the less I like the amount of pain you have had to suffer through, Angel.” I squeeze his hand reassuringly and he smiles, but it doesn’t reach his eyes, so I sigh and stand. “Okay enough of the heavy topics. Let's have something to eat.” He nods and then it seems he remembers something. “How do you feel about asking your colleagues to join us for a meal out soon? I would also invite Ellis, and maybe, Jack, is it? Maybe he can b

Listening to her talk to her friends and seeing her face brighten I felt the urge to treat her and through her, her friend too. I want her to feel good and I hope that getting to buy a nice outfit for the meal will be a step towards that. After dinner Angel follows me to the office where I take down both Anya and Jacks’s contact details along with Anya’s home address that she sent to Angela immediately after the call finished. “I need to work for a little longer, I am sorry Angel.” “Oh, don’t worry, I don’t want to get in the way. Would it be alright for me to watch some tv?” “Of course. Do whatever you want, I will join you as soon as I can.” She pecks me on the cheek and then leaves me to work. I begin by calling Ellis and he picks up on the second ring. “You really need to get a woman Ellis.” “What?” “Do you ever stop working?” “No, because you are always working and even when

His words released something within me that was keeping me from opening up to him. Through the course of a few days, he has seen all of my worst sides and learned about every dark secret I hold within and still he is here. I can see in his eyes how much he cares for me already and seeing that, makes me want to give him the trust, that will allow me to be with him properly. I don’t know how relationships work normally, how long is considered a long enough time before a person gives themselves fully to another, but at this moment, I feel ready to do just that. I feel him harden below me as I press myself closer and the sensation of his hands brushing the skin on my waist is driving me crazy. I pour everything into my kiss, wanting him to know just how much I need him, nothing else, just him. As the kiss becomes more passionate his grip intensifies to an almost painful level, but I love it, the rawness of it is exactly what I need. I don’t want morals or sensible thought to get in t

I lay beneath him panting still trying to regain my senses after such an intense experience. Grant is breathing hard too and we are both a sweaty mess. He lets go of my legs and they flop down heavily on either side of him as he leans down to caress my cheek. “Hey, are you okay?” “Mmmm, yeah.” I mumble out to him as my energy begins to drain from me. He chuckles and kisses me gently on the lips before leaning back again. “This may hurt a little.” I open my eyes and wince as I see and feel him pull himself from me. “Will that happen every time?” He gazes down at me. “What, baby?” “The pain.” He makes a face crossed between regret and pain but then smiles at me again. “No Angel, it’s only the first time, it gets better the more you practice.” With that said he winks and stands to walk into the bathroom. I lay limply listening to the sound of running water as my eyes droop, but before I know it, he is back and carrying a washcloth. “Here, let me clean you up a little before I

I feel like a complete asshole and talking with Angela about this after such a wonderful night with her makes me feel even worse. My heart is in my throat as I wait for her to speak. I told her the truth; I don’t just want to flaunt her to get back at my ex. I want to show the world what a wonderful woman she is and how blessed I am that she has chosen to stand by my side. Pissing my ex off will just be an added bonus on top since she had no issues flaunting her new relationship and stomping over my dignity. “I would be honoured to stand by your side Grant.” My head snaps up and I stare at her in shock at her words. The gentle expression on her face as she smiles back at me makes my walls crack, I don’t deserve this woman. Reaching out I pull her towards me and rest my forehead on her stomach wrapping my arms around her, holding her tightly. She gently caresses my hair with her hands, and I sigh as my tension lowers a bit. “Thank you, Angel. I don’t

That kiss left me dazed for a moment before I was able to recollect myself and walk down to the car. The driver opened the door for me, and I slid in only to be engulfed in a hug as soon as the door closed. “Oh my god, that was so hot! You have got to tell me everything!” I chuckle as I pull away from Anya both of us smiling, I see a glimmer in her eyes that makes me blush thinking about what she will say. “Actually, on second thought wait until we get to the mall. Better to only have to talk about it once instead of repeating yourself.” “What?” She simply smiles but I can tell she is up to something. “Anya, what are you up to?” “Relax, today is a day for fun and friends. I still can’t believe I am friends with someone that is dating someone so rich, and he has invited me along as part of a group out for dinner.” I chuckle at her as she gushes, I may not put much importance on money, but I understand that not everyone shares my views. I’m just happy to see my friend happy. Bef

“Angel.” I turn to Jack hearing the concern in his voice. “What is it?” “Are you happy? I mean truly happy. You don’t think you have moved too quickly with getting close to him?” I smile and step over to give Jack a hug which he returns once he recovers from his initial shock that I initiated contact with him. “Yes, Jack. I am happy. I suppose we have moved a bit fast, especially since he isn’t officially divorced yet, but I can’t explain it. It just feels right.” “What? Wait a minute, you just said he is not divorced, meaning he has a wife. Why are you dating a married man, Angel?” “I’m not dating a married man, Jack. Grant separated from his wife before I bumped into him in the street. He is just having trouble getting her cooperation with the paperwork.” “But why did they split in the first place?” “She cheated and he found out, so he kicked her out.” “Wow. I can’t imagine what the other guy must look like if she chose someone else over Grant.” “I don’t know what he look

Monday morning arrives before I know it and I wake up without feeling the need to run to the bathroom for the first time in a while. Stretching I turn and find that Grant is still in bed beside me which makes me frown because normally he is out before me in the mornings. Turning back to the side table I check the time and its showing 6am, I have to open the café today and with the extra distance I now have to travel it means that I will need to leave by 7 to make it on time.I throw the covers off and get up so I can take a shower before starting the day. I select some clothes from the closet first and then head to the ensuite.After my shower, I step out into the bedroom in my towel and when I look up, I can see that Grant is now awake and watching me.“Good morning, how come you aren’t already at the office?”“Did you forget? We planned to visit the Doctor this morning.” “I didn’t forget but I can’t go first thing, I have to open the café today and if I ask Tom for

I truly have some amazing people in my life. Everyone here is willing to chip in to help lessen the burden of trying to organise my father’s company and find the rats who are stealing from me. After breakfast Grant and I take Lobo outside and we spend an hour watching him enjoy the space while we play fetch with him.“Have you ever thought about having any more pets?” I ask Grant and he smiles.“Lobo is special, he was given to me by a good friend and as such he has had special training. But, until now my situation hasn’t really been ideal for having any other pets and therefore, I felt it wasn’t fair.”“I can see where you are coming from, and I agree with you. Would you consider it though? Once everything is settled down and sorted, I mean.”He smiles, “Angel, if you want to fill this big house with animals and anything else then I will happily support your every desire. But I agree that it should wait until everything is settled with the company and with your family. I don’t want t

When I open the door, I see Angela crouched by the toilet, so I rush in to check her.“Angel?! What’s wrong baby?”“Ugh, bad morning sickness. Sorry if I worried you but this is a more comfortable position for me at the moment.”“It’s okay, I just wish there was more I could do to help.”“Mmmhmm. Hopefully the doctor can give me something to help when we see her.”“I hate seeing you like this.”I lament as I watch her lean back over the pan to be sick once more. I hold her long hair back for her while she heaves and expels everything still present in her stomach. Her complexion is very light, she seems quite pale, and she is also sweating from the exertion.The last two retches only produce small amounts of saliva that she spits out, so once it seems that she doesn’t have anything more to bring up I hurry to the sink and get her a glass of water.She takes some light sips from it and settles back on her haunches.“Thank you, I think I’m past the worst of it now.”“How often have you be

Angela is pregnant!Ellis was right, but if I tell him that, his head will get bigger, and he will become unbearable so I will not be telling him anytime soon. What I am most shocked about is the fact that she told me so soon after finding out herself.All I can assume is that she must have enough trust in me and in us that she felt that she could be open and honest with me about this, and I love her all the more because of it.For so long I was stuck in a relationship with someone who didn’t care for me as a person and was only interested in material gain, who lied to me on many occasions to keep themselves out of trouble.Now that I have Angela, and I am experiencing such a caring and positive bond, I know I made the right decision to leave Rita, but also, I was right to follow my emotions with Angela.She truly is an Angel.As we leave the restaurant and climb into the car, I am still on cloud nine thinking about all the possibilities that could become reality once we meet with a do

“But with you Angel, everything is different. With you I want to see you carrying my children, and yes, I want more than one. I want to build a family with you and even marry you, when you are ready for that.” I am shocked by his candour and by his words. I never expected him to say all of that. My emotions swell and before I can stop them tears begin to fall from my eyes. “Angel? What’s wrong?” He panics and reaches across to hand me his handkerchief; I chuckle as I take it from him and try to dry my eyes. “Nothing is wrong. What you said was so beautiful that I couldn’t help myself. Sorry, my emotions are all over the place at the moment.” “Is there any particular reason why that would be? Are you sure you are alright.” “Yes, Grant, I am, I promise. But there is something that I should probably tell you, I just don’t want you to be too shocked.” “What is it?”

As we step into the foyer of the restaurant I am amazed by the interior décor. It is stunning, the walls are lined with mirrors and the Matre de stands behind a mahogany pedestal near a pair of wooden doors with glass panels that lead into the main dining room. “Good evening, Sir, Madam. My name is Paul may I take your reservation name?” “Cerulean.” “Please follow me.” He is almost falling over his own feet to lead us to our table, I find it a little comical. “Whatever did you say to them when you made this reservation?” “I don’t know what you mean. Besides, I asked Ellis to help me make the calls.” “Overworking your best friend again?” “No, not at all. He was happy to help me make this the perfect night for you.” I squeeze his arm affectionately to let him know that I appreciate the effort he is making. Crystal chandeliers give it a rich ambient feel, the tables are mahogany with white tablecloths on them. Every table has a pair of red roses in a vase as a centre piece whic

I hang up and glance out of my office window at the city below. Could it really be possible that I’m about to become a father?I think about my own father and the strained relationship I have with him and my brother now. I won’t let that happen to my family. No matter what happens I always want my children to know that they can come to me for anything and that I will be there to help and support them.Two hours later I message Simon to check in on things back at the house.G- “Are the girls home yet?”S- “Not yet but they are due shortly. I had a message from Anya recently saying they are en route.”G- “Good. I will get ready here at the office then head over to collect Angel in time for when she should be ready. Don’t let her be late, we have a schedule to keep.”S- “Don’t worry I’ve got everything organised.”G- “Thanks.”I put my phone away and try to focus on work, but I just can’t do it so instead I check the itinerary for the evening to make sure everything will go smoothly.“Yo

I’m sitting in a board meeting not really listening to what these men are saying because all I can think about is Angel and wanting to know if she is enjoying herself at the spa. She looked so tired this morning and I’m worried about how obsessed she has been with figuring out what is going on with the board of directors at her father’s company. That’s a point, I should audit my directors to make sure they aren’t trying to swindle me. Suddenly the door bursts open and everyone turns as Ellis rushes in. “Boss! I need you urgently.” “Ellis, I am in a meeting.” “Yes, I understand but this cannot wait, otherwise it might require divine intervention.” The way he stresses the word divine and stares intently at me has the hairs on my neck raising. “Excuse me gentlemen it seems I have to handle this immediately. Compile the rest of the reports and send to me to review by email. That will be all.” I leave the room at a brisk pace and head to my office. As soon as the door is closed, I

“Please madam, we have already apologised and explained that the spa was closed for the day exclusively by a very important client. We will be more than pleased to accommodate you here tomorrow, but we are unable to see you today.” “Impossible! I have an exclusive pass to enter here, and no one has the right to deny my access upon my request. How can she have more influence than me.” She then storms over in my direction and continues her barrage. “Tell me, how did you do it? You must have done something very shrewd and unspeakable to hook him like you have. Otherwise, why would he even look twice at someone as lowly as you? You are not fit to even lick the shoes of members of our society and yet you stand there as though you are better than me. Disgusting tramp!” In the distance, I hear the phone on the desk ringing until it is picked up, but my focus remains on Rita. Her words are hurtful and deliberate, but I don’t care for them. She was the one who had the affair and decided th
