Beauty and Her Beast Chapter 56: Angel pov
Something cold and wet touches my nose drawing me out of my deep sleep. I raise my hand to wipe it as it was beginning to irritate me but then the cold thing is back. Forcing my eyes to open I note that the room is quite light so the sun must be up and then my gaze focuses on what is in front of me. I am met by a big black wet nose and a long pink tongue making me chuckle. “Morning Lobo.” I stretch out my hand to scratch behind his ears and he pants happily. I feel some weight around my waist and as I move it shifts to hold me tighter. “Mmmff go back to sleep.” Comes a groggy complaint from behind me and I chuckle some more. “I think Lobo is hungry.” “Mmmmrrr, he can wait.” “How shocking. You cannot allow him to go hungry because you are sleepy.” I try to lift his arm so I can get up, but he tightens his grip further. “No, stay.” I freeze at his words remembering how desperate he seemed last night when he asked me to stay after I said I needed to leave. But my body decides

I wander back through the mansion and up to the bedroom to fetch my phone. Knowing that Lobo is still outside I take my phone to the kitchen and sit at the island as I dial. “Mmm hello?” “Hi, Jack.” “Angel? Baby girl, why are you calling so early on a Sunday?” “I need a friend.” “What happened?” Immediately his tone shifts from sleepy and curious to alert and concerned. I even hear Simon in the background. “If you have to go just go. I set up the spare room days ago.” I chuckle hearing his words but then a sob leaves me hearing his kindness. “Angel, speak, you are freaking me out.” “I-I don’t, I don’t know what went wrong.” “Shh it’s okay I’m here. Tell me what happened.” I take a few deep breaths to control my growing hysteria that I can feel rising through my chest. “Last night was amazing, but he seemed to think that I want to end our relationship.” “Why would he think that?” “I can only think that it is because I want to return to my flat tonight.” “You do?” “Well

“I don’t want to end anything between us, I just want us to move a little slower. Can you allow me that?” Her words are spoken with a little hurt present in her voice, and I feel guilty all over again for how I reacted. All she has been asking for is to not move too quickly and that is perfectly reasonable. When I left earlier it was because I didn’t know how to handle my emotions, I was overwhelmed and needed to clear my head. I never thought that she would react so badly to my actions and looking back it was completely obvious that she would think I left her. I was ignoring my phone and just driving with no destination in mind until eventually I stopped and parked up. My phone rang and I answered it but had to pull it away from my ear when Ellis started yelling through the line at me. “Are you completely insane?! Where are you?” “Why are you calling me Ellis?” “Why? Why? Did last night completely fry your brains? I was content laying with my girl, and all was right until she

I feel embarrassed that I offered him a meal but then was not able to provide one. But he doesn’t seem worried about it and is quick to suggest ordering in. “I don’t mind. But I do order from Rising Sun Chinese quite often.” “Chinese it is then. What would you like?” I tell him my usual order and he makes the call while I choose to start clearing out the abomination that is now my fridge. How I managed to keep my stomach down when I opened it, I will never know. “What can I help with?” I look over my shoulder and see him standing close by rolling up his sleeves and I chuckle. “Could you fetch the bin for me? I don’t think much of this is going to be salvageable. I also need cleaning supplies, over there under the sink.” He nods and does as I ask, quickly bringing me the bin to throw things into before fetching the cleaning items. We spend the next thirty minu

I am unable to answer them at first, surprised by the question. They simply smile kindly, and I even see a little twinkle of mischief in their eyes. “Oh, well, I actually met him on my way to work one morning and then he came into the café with a friend. We began talking and he gave me his number. After that things have just progressed as they would normally, I guess.” I shrug as though it is not a big deal, but they are both smiling widely and it’s a little unnerving. “Goodness, John, she is smitten.” “Indeed Beth, finally our little Angel has found someone to spend her time with.” They sound like proud grandparents, and I stare at them wondering why they are acting like this. Shaking my head, I move to stand but Mr B reaches out to stop me. “Sorry for asking something so personal. But I wonder, would you allow me to ask one more?” He seems concerned that I will say

I watch from my car as she enters the café and speaks to her friends and her boss. She seems happy so I turn the ignition and drive home to change into a suit for the day. As I walk into the mansion, Lobo comes bounding up to greet me but seems to pull himself short once he notices that I am alone. “Missing her already boy?” “Woof.” He seems to snort at me and then walks away, I chuckle at his behaviour. It seems that I have not only lost my heart to her but my dog’s loyalty as well. I find I am less upset about that than I would have been if it was my ex-wife. I quickly change and while I am fixing my cufflinks, I receive a call from Ellis. “I am about to head into the office now.” “Alright but I’m calling to warn you, Rita is here with her lawyers. I’m sorry, Grant, I couldn’t keep her out.” I frown wondering what she could possibly want but instead of worrying about it, I choose to handle it when I get there.

I smile and he visibly shrinks from seeing it because it is not the usual smile I give to Angel. This is full of cold contempt and satisfaction that I will finally be able to prevent her from contacting me for personal reasons. “She was issued with a restraining order stopping her from contacting me or Angel.” “Bloody hell! I didn’t think you would go that far.” “She is a threat to Angel, and I will not allow her to cause trouble.” Ellis nods and smiles knowingly since he has seen my ruthless side and knows how far I will go when I care deeply about something. I cut my own father off when his agenda threatened mine, although that was mutual on both our parts because he threatened me first, I just acted before he did. I spend the rest of the day working and attending meetings to check the progress on the developments of my new builds as well as the growth of the current chains. Everyth

It's been a week since I asked Grant for space and since John and Beth revealed who my parents were and who I would've been. I’ve been struggling with it so much that the longer I wait the harder it is becoming to say anything. I should’ve told Grant about it the night he turned up with that beautiful purple and red bouquet. I was so overwhelmed by his declaration that I forgot about everything else that was playing on my mind. Unfortunately, two days later he phoned to inform me that he was having to travel for business and would be gone for five days. Today makes day four and although I have assured him each time, he phones me that I am alright, I have been afraid to be alone here in my flat. Anytime I hear someone in the hall I become jumpy and nervous. Jack and Anya have both been checking in as well, but it hasn’t helped. To try and take my mind off of it I have been trying to focus on my online degree, thankfull

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
