Chapter 6: Slap

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-05 10:49:29

“Sorry, I had no idea about this.” Angela couldn’t believe the disgusting dad would go this far. This wasn’t just a blind date—they were trying to marry her off.

Ashley smirked. “So, you’re saying Mr. Albert isn’t good enough for you? You think you’re too good for him, Angela?”

Ashley was pushing buttons on purpose, just waiting to see how Angela would handle it.

Angela saw right through her. “Of course not.”

“Oh, so you fell for him at first sight, then? Mr. Albert, looks like my sister is quite pleased with you.” Ashley stirred the pot with a sly grin.

Angela stayed cool. “Honestly, I don’t think I’m good enough for Mr. Albert. To be frank, I haven’t lived with them in years. Did they tell you I’m some obedient, well-mannered girl?”

Juan nodded. That’s exactly what Sam had told him.

Angela leaned in. “Truth is, I smoke, I drink, I hit the clubs. I’ve had two abortions. Go ahead, check the hospital records. I didn’t even know who the fathers were. Oh, and I’m pregnant again. The doctor said I can’t abort this one; it’d ruin my chances. But hey, if you’re interested, we can get the marriage certificate tomorrow.”

Juan’s face darkened. “Your family sent me a woman like this? Are you kidding me?”

Curve figures. Pretty face, nothing but trouble.

Sam’s face went pale. “Mr. Albert, it’s not true! Don’t listen to her nonsense!”

But Juan was already livid. He slammed his fork down and stormed out.

Sam’s hand shot up, striking Angela across the face. 

She was stunned, the sting sharp and immediate. It took her a moment to process it.

“Angela, I’ve been too lenient with you. How dare you offend Mr. Albert?” Sam’s anger boiled over.

This was his big shot. If Angela married Juan, he’d pocket billions.

“Where’s my mom’s keepsake?” Angela’s voice was steady.

“You want her things? Why don’t you just die, you useless brat! Wasted years raising you, and for what?” Sam spat the words, each more cutting than the last.

“If anyone’s going down, it’s you. I grew up with Grandma, remember? You never raised me. I’ll get my mom’s things back, one way or another. Try to force me into this marriage, and I’ll call the cops. I’ll blow it up online too. Let’s see who gets humiliated then.”

Angela had learned a lot from Kyle over the years, and it showed. Her presence now had weight.

Sam was taken aback. This wasn’t the same Angela. She’d grown a backbone.

Angela got home late. Her grandma was already asleep. Thank goodness. Seeing the mark on her face would’ve broken her heart.

She grabbed some ice, pressing it to her cheek. The slap had been hard. By morning, the swelling hadn’t gone down.

Kyle still hadn’t approved her resignation. She had to keep working.

Back to the office, the whispers started. “Did you see Angela’s face? Definitely got slapped. Wonder what happened?”

Angela was always the topic of gossip. Too pretty not to be.

She probably messed around, seduced some men, and got slapped around by their girlfriend or wife.”“She’s not still messing with Mr. Alexander?” someone whispered.“You guys haven’t seen the news? Mr. Alexander’s out on a date with his future wife. Looks like he’s getting married. As for Angela? She’s probably been dumped. She is gold digger, and now she’s scrambling to find someone else rich.”Angela shot up from her seat and locked eyes with Debra.

His lips barely moved as he said, “Just take me to the office.”Downstairs at the company, Angela stood her ground. “Sorry, Mr. Albert. I’m not interested in your money. I’m not some mistress, and I’m definitely not gonna be your lover.”“If you keep harassing me, I’ll call the cops.”Juan just laughed. “What’s with the act? You really think I’ve forgotten what you said last night? Aren’t you the one who’s had two abortions and still carrying a child? You’re gonna act all innocent now?”People passing by overheard his words and shot Angela confused looks.Juan’s strategy was clear—if Angela wasn’t going to give in, he’d ruin her reputation.He tried to grab her, but Angela dodge

The kiss burned, leaving me dazed.My mouth trailed lower, his hands leaving marks as he roamed over my skin.“Kyle? You weren’t supposed to be back until the day after tomorrow,” I gasped. I’d booked his return ticket myself.“You mean so you could mess around with other men while I was gone?” His voice had a sharp edge, like he was scolding me. His teeth nipped at my earlobe.“I didn’t…”“Still lying, babe?”“I swear I didn’t… Ah!” I didn’t get to finish before he claimed me with an overwhelming force.“Keep your voice down. I don’t care if you scream, but if the old lady next door hears us, that’s on you,” he murmured against my ear, his voice rough and low.I slapped a hand over my mouth, eyes wide with nervous tension.As if punishing me, Kyle was relentless that night.

I already ate.” Angela held her, feeling the warmth in her frail frame.“What’s wrong?” Grandma could tell something was off.Angela shook her head. “Nothing. Just tired from work.”“Has your father’s side contacted you?” Grandma’s voice had a strange edge.Angela knew she meant her dad’s family.Her mom had died years ago.
