ANGELINA

I watched as Luca's strong arms wrapped around Lisa tightly and protectively,my heart ached.Ididn't have that much strength to fight back anymore.I felt strength left my body and my hands fell on my sides.

“You're protecting her after what she just said to me?”I muttered under my breath,my voice breaking at the end.

“She's carrying my baby, Angelina.I’m protecting our baby.”Tears streamed down my cheeks.

His words only reminded me of my failure as his legal wife and my heart broke into a million pieces.

I failed to give him a child.

Monalisa clung onto him,her head resting on his chest and I didn't miss the triumphant smile on her lips.

I couldn't believe my husband chose to protect Lisa over me.

What about me? Who will protect me from the cruel world?Who will stand for me when people shame me for not being able to bear my husband a child?

Fisting my hands,I turned around and walked away with blurry vision.There was no need to put up with the fight…

_____________________________

“Ma'am,why are you home so early?What happened? Did you forget something?Are…you feeling unwell?”Mia asked the last question hesitantly.

I couldn't bring myself to answer any of her questions because my throat was clogged with emotions.I just looked at her with tears in my eyes.

“Don't mind my questions,ma'am.I will finish replacing the flowers then prepare something for you.”She flashed me a polite smile but I couldn't bring myself to smile back at her.

I was too broken.

I nodded at her words then headed to our room.I was thankful that she didn't ask more questions.I was afraid I would break down if she asked one more question.

Taking a deep breath,I opened the door and walked inside, closing the door behind me.

Luca's strong cologne hit my nostrils and I choked on it.I darted my eyes around the room and everything that I laid my eyes on reminded me of him.The pain in my heart only intensified and tears streamed down my cheeks.

My eyes spotted the framed wedding picture on the table.I walked to the table,my legs feeling so heavy.I stretched my trembling hands and picked it.I sat on the bed and looked at the picture with blurry eyes, memorising the special day.

“Why Lucas,”I muttered under my breath, staring at the picture as though he would answer me.

“You promised to be a good husband to me.You promised to be there for me through thick and thin.You promised to love me till the end of times and never to betray me.What happened? What went wrong? Why did you break all the promises you made to me?What did I do wrong?''I talked to the picture as though it had ears.

All the vows and promises that Lucas made to me were broken.I recalled the day we tied the knot as if it was yesterday.It was one of the happiest days of my life because I was getting married to the man that I loved so much.

The man of my dreams.The man that I wanted to spend my whole life with,make memories and stick together till eternity.

I placed the picture back on the table, flipping it so that I don't see how happy we were on our wedding day.

The pain was unbearable.It hurt so much.

Heaving a deep sigh,I stood up from the bed and walked to the bathroom.I turned on the shower and stood under the cold running water fully dressed.

I closed my eyes and all the memories that I shared with Lucas clouded my mind.He always treated me like a queen.There was no single day that he raised his voice at me even when I wronged him.

The memories of the previous night clouded in my mind too.I recalled everything that he whispered in my ear while making love to me.

Lucas assured me that he would never leave me while he thrusted deeper.He told me that I was the best thing that has ever happened in his life.He promised me that he would never give up on us and that he will be patient…

Why did he impregnate Monalisa if he meant what he said? Does it mean everything that he told me during love making was all a big lie?My stomach twisted at the thought…

_______________________________

I looked through the window blankly,not looking at anything in particular.My eyes were sore from too much crying and my stomach churned.

Mia prepared my favourite dish because she was so worried about me.However,I couldn't bring myself to eat anything.The darkness had already fallen but Lucas hadn't come back home yet.

My heart ached inside my chest.

I thought that he would come after me when I left the company.I thought that he would be worried about me.However,he didn't show up and all my hopes crashed into tiny pieces.

My mind jolted back to the present when the door clicked open and I stiffened.I didn't need to turn around to know who it was…

His strong cologne hit my nostrils and I almost choked.I couldn't believe that it still turned me on despite the heartache that he had caused me.

I hated it!

“Did you spend the whole day with Monalisa?”I asked, trying my best not to break down.

Slowly,I turned around and we locked eyes.I looked into those azure eyes and for a split second,I got carried away.His brown hair was a mess and I could tell that he had run his fingers in it a couple of times.

He looked exhausted and I wondered what made him look out of place.Was it because of me?I couldn't help but question myself.

“I have been busy working the whole day,”I took a sharp breath when I heard his words.

I think I was just being paranoid.

“So you didn't care about me?That means you didn't care to know how I was doing when I left the company.How heartless can you be,Lucas?”My voice trembled with each question.

“I didn't have that much time, Angelina.You know too well that we have a big event coming soon and everything has to be ready.”His words were so painful that it made my stomach twist.

“All you care about is the company but what about me?Do you care how I'm feeling right now?”My jaw twitched,”Why Lucas? Why are you doing this to me? Why did you sleep with my best friend and get her pregnant?Why?”My voice broke and the last words came out as a whisper.

He was quiet for a while then heaved a deep sigh.

“I need an heir,”I swallowed when I heard his words,it cut so deep.

“We talked about it and I promised you that I will try my best to give you a heir, Lucas.”I reminded him.

”You promised but we are not sure about it.We have been trying for four years, Angelina.I have been patient for four damn years!Are you blaming me for what happened?”

I stared at Lucas, wondering why the sudden change.There was something about him which I couldn't decipher.He had changed entirely.His eyes were not gentle anymore when he looked at me and his voice was not soft.

I looked into those cerulean eyes, trying to wrap my head around the sudden change.

Where was the Lucas who always looked at me with gentle eyes?Where was the Lucas who always whispered sweet words in my ear while making love to me?Where was the Lucas that always talked to me politely and never raised his voice at me?

It felt as though the man standing before me was a completely different person.It was not Lucas that I knew.Something just didn't feel right...

Perhaps it was my fault he was behaving that way…

If I was able to give him an heir, maybe all this couldn't be happening.

Without a word,I walked out of the room.I thought that Lucas would try to stop me from leaving but..he didn't do anything.

“Ma'am,where are you going this late?”Mia asked me with a worried face.I wiped tears from my eyes using the back of my hands.

”I don't know,just anywhere.”The frown on her face deepened when she heard my words…

_______________

“I hate you,Lucas!I hate you!”I picked the port glass and gulped the amber liquid in one go.I closed my eyes as the liquid burned it's way down my throat but that was nothing compared to the ache that I was feeling deep in my heart.

“Another glass please!”I ordered, placing the empty glass back on the bar counter.

I had already drunk three glasses.I felt my head spinning but that was not enough to make me forget about everything that had happened.

I knew drowning my sorrow in alcohol was not a wise decision but I didn't care anymore what was right or wrong.If it would help me forget about the heartache just for a moment.

Why not?

I walked all the way to the club,crossing dangerous streets of Xiaomi city.However,I wasn't afraid about what would happen to me because the worst had already happened.

My husband and best friend had betrayed me.Lucas had fulfilled our dream of starting a family with someone else.All I wanted was to be far away from all the heartache and everything.

I felt like an empty shell as I walked down the streets.There was a void in my heart which nothing could fill.Even though I didn't want to admit it,deep down I hoped that Lucas would come after me but...I was only disappointed instead.

“Here comes your order, beautiful.”The bartender flashed me a smile.I wasn't bothered with his compliment because I knew he was only being nice.

I was wearing a mask so that no one could recognise me because I didn't want unnecessary attention.

Without a word,I picked the glass and gulped the drink.A groan left my lips and I closed my eyes, feeling the cold drink travel down my throat.

I'm not a heavy drinker.However,I wanted to test my limits tonight.

“Damn you Lucas! And fuck you Monalisa!Why would you do this to me?"I slammed the glass on the bar counter,pain ripping my already broken heart.

"Another glass please...”I choked out. I felt tears flowing down my cheeks behind the black mask.

I wasn't drinking my arse off because I liked it.

It's just that…I was trying to get rid of the pain in my chest.The bartender gave me an awkward look but I didn't care.

He poured me another drink.

I stretched my hand to pick the glass.However,a heavy hand landed on the top of my hand, preventing me from reaching the glass of wine.

A frown settled on my face,I looked at the unfamiliar huge hand that covered mine.My hand felt small in his, slowly I turned my head to see who it belonged to.

I squinted my eyes to have a better look because I couldn't see clearly,I think the alcohol was taking a toll on me.

The man was wearing a golden mask on his face.I couldn't see anything except those dark piercing eyes…

    ANGELINAI tried to push the bulky hand away but my energy was nothing compared to his.The frown on my face behind the black mask only deepened.I couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with the golden masked man.Was he trying to show me how strong he was?“Let go…”My voice came out strained,”Are you sure you want to have another shot?You look so drunk already that you can't stand on your own two feets.”His voice was deep.Was he trying to mock me?I already know I'm not a heavy drinker but I was quite sure that I could take more shots.I could still feel the pain and void in my heart.I could remember Monalisa's words.That only meant that I was not drunk enough…“Why do you even care,huh? It's not enough to help me forget about the pain.Now let my hand go!”This time my voice was commanding but trembling at the same time because I couldn't let the words out of my mouth without feeling pain.The man looked at me,then let my hand go.I picked the glass and gulped the drink down my throat

    ANGELINA A groan tore from my lips,I tried to toss on the comfortable bed but the tight hand wrapped around my waist stopped me.My lips curved into a smile.However,the smile on my face faded away subtly.A frown settled on my face when a different scent of cologne hit my nostrils and slowly,I flickered my eyes to have a clear vision.I was in an unfamiliar room, an unfamiliar strong hand tightly wrapped around my waist.I could feel my heart pounding wildly against the ribcage as I turned to check who it belonged to and my eyes popped out.It belonged to the golden masked man and he still had his mask on.He was sleeping peacefully as though there was nothing to worry about,his chest raising and falling as he breathed evenly.'What did you do Angelina?’ A voice said in my head when the memories clouded my mind.I looked away and felt so guilty.The feeling was terrible,as though I had committed a terrible crime.Slowly,I removed his heavy hand from waist.My breath caught in my throat whe

    ANGELINAI stretched my shaky hands and held the doorknob.Slowly,I opened the door and entered the office.He was sitting behind the table,his face glued on the pile of papers.He looked handsome like ever.‘Perhaps he didn't check on me because he had a lot of work to take care of.I walked to the table,my legs feeling heavy and my heart pounding so wildly against my ribcage.Lucas didn't care to raise his face to check who had entered his office. I know he could smell my perfume.He continued to work on the papers as though his life depended on it.My heart twisted when my expectations failed.Taking a deep sigh,I placed the papers on the table.“Good afternoon.The papers need your approval.”My voice was shaky,not the way I intended though.I tried my best to sound normal but I failed terribly.Unexplainable emotions were clogged in my throat.“Okay…”He responded as he continued to work on the papers.His voice was plain and it didn't have any warmth.As much as I wanted to run out of the

    ANGELINA“Here is the cup of coffee,ma'am.”The lady smiled at me, placing the cup of coffee on the table.“Thank you,”I forced a smile on my lips, nodding slightly.When the lady was gone,the smile on my face faded away subtly.With trembling hands,I picked the cup of coffee and took two sips before dropping it back on the table.I decided to drop by the coffee shop on my way home because I was having a terrible headache.I thought that coffee would be of great help.There was no reason for me to go home early because it made me feel suffocated.The more I stayed away from home, the more it felt better for my health.The place that I once called home felt cold and unwelcoming.The situation between Lucas and I had gotten worse.He stayed at the computer till late working his ass out and woke up early in the morning for work.I have tried countless times to ask him to find time for us so that we can talk but it seems impossible.He always says that he doesn't have any extra time because his h

    ANGELINAI tried to open my mouth to say something but nothing came out,not even a single word.I didn't know what to say because my mind was blank.It felt as though time had been frozen for a moment.I blinked once, twice,thrice just to make sure that my eyes were not playing tricks on me.How?How did he find out about it?Did he have someone follow me?How come he had the pictures of Calvin and I?My mind was a mess and I couldn't bring myself to reason clearly at the moment.I looked at the pictures which were put on a slide show.The way we laughed, hugged before parting ways,the way he held my hand on the coffee table in comfort and looked into my eyes…“What? Are you surprised that I found out your little secret?”His deep voice pulled my mind back to the present.He gestured the word “little” in quotation marks and the corner of his lips curved into a smile.To him,it seemed as though that was the funniest joke of the year.“Did you have someone follow me?”I asked,my jaw clenching.”O

    ANGELINAA groan left my lips when the annoying siren noise of the alarm pierced through the quiet air.How come it was already morning when I just fell asleep a few minutes ago? Another sigh of frustration tore from my lips.I haven't been able to get a proper sleep for the past week since my once peaceful world crumbled to my feets.I wished I could sleep some more.I wished I could drift into a deep slumber and never wake up if that was possible.Every time I open my eyes to a new day, it's the begining of another day of torture and heartache for me.My heart twisted inside my chest when I gave it a thought.I tossed the blankets away then woke up and sat on the edge of the bed, feeling exhausted.My heart ached when I looked around the room which I once shared with my husband.It felt too big for one person and cold because Lucas no longer sleeps in the same room with me.He moved to the guest room the following day after spending the night away.He never cared to tell me where he spent

    ANGELINA “We are police officers from the Xiaomi Central police station,here is a warrant of arrest for you.”The police officer's words echoed in my head over and over again as I tried to process the information. My head was spinning as if my brain would explode in the next minute.With trembling hands and thumping heart,I took the piece of paper that the police officer handed me. “WARRANT OF ARREST,” The words screamed at me, written in bold so that I wouldn't miss it.The tears that I was holding finally streamed down my cheeks and landed on the piece of paper. “Take her away already!She is a threat to everyone.”My mother-in-law said,hatred dripping in her voice. I know she hated me with every fibre in her body.However,I never knew that she hated me this much,to an extent of calling the police on me without listening to my side of the story. “Please don't say that mother...”I cupped my hands as more tears flowed down my cheeks. “Please listen to me.I didn't do it intentionally

    ANGELINA ONE WEEK LATER Even though it has been one week,I haven't gotten used to the life here in jail. Life is more tough than I thought.I have tried making friends but no one wants to be friends with me, especially when they learned that Lucas Ford's is my legal husband.Most of the inmates see me as a spoiled brat. All they do is harass me and treat me as an outcast.It makes me feel so lonely and unwanted… Most of the time,I sit all alone on the bench and watch my fellow inmates joke and laugh happily.Lucas has never visited me since the day he came to inform me that he had filed for a divorce. I tried to call Lucas,he picked up but when he heard my voice,he cut me off without hearing what I had to say.His actions broke my heart into a million and one pieces.Knowing damn well that Lucas didn't care about me cut so deep than being in jail.

    XAVIER I watched as the sea wind blew Angelina's black long air away. She had a big smile on her face as she stared at the sunset. I have never found nature this beautiful to watch but it seemed to be different whenever I was around Angelina. The orange sun rays shone on her flawless skin and damn! She looked like a goddess dropped from heaven. I wish Damien could be still alive so that he could see how his little angel had grown into a young beautiful woman. However, I know one thing for sure, Damien would never allow me to move any closer to her daughter let alone to have sex with her. She was wearing a skimpy white bikini which didn't do any good in hiding her gorgeous body. I saw the redness on her *ss cheeks and it reminded me of the spanks that I gave her while we were having sex in the jet. I swear I felt my c*ck twitch inside my shorts and I don't know what was going on with me. It seemed as though I would never ge

    ANGELINA I fluttered my long eyes lashes softly as I tried to get rid of the blurry vision. A frown settled on my face when my eyes were fully opened as I tried to wrap my head around what was going on. There was no trace of Xavier around and I didn't know where he had gone. I was laying on the bed but not the same bed that I fell asleep on in the jet. I looked through the window just to make sure that it wasn't some sort of a dream and I was proven that indeed I wasn't dreaming. I was expecting to see the clouds passing by but instead I was met by a clear blue sky and water. That's when reality hit me and I couldn't believe it. How the hell did we get here? I couldn't help it but wonder. I must have fallen into a deep slumber. I was inside the yacht and the surroundings looked surreal and breathtaking, just everything that I have ever imagined of. This was one of the things that I had written down in my wish list. I dreame

    ANGELINA “ What are you doing?” Xavier asked as a deep frown settled on his face. “ I'm going through the company's work,” I momentarily looked at him then got back to my phone. The private jet had already departed and it had been one hour already. I felt bored and decided to keep myself busy by going through the work stuff and answering the spending emails. “ I think we talked about it already. I said no work related stuff for the whole weekend.” He reminded me with a raised brow and I heaved a frustrating sigh. “ I know, but I was feeling bored and decided to distract myself by going through the work. It's boring to look at the clouds passing by, it's making me a little bit dizzy.” I complained. “ Give me your phone,” He said in a commanding voice but politely and I gave it to him without any obligations. He turned off the phone as I watched him and I couldn't h

    Chapter 092ANGELINAI was fixing the hair tendrils that were hanging on my face when the door clicked open and Xavier walked in. I turned to look at him and he flashed me a smile. He was dressed casually and his hair was let down freely. I could tell that he had come from the shower not long ago. He looked good in a casual outfit since I'm used to him wearing suits.After coming from the cemetery yesterday,  Xavier asked me to go to his place because he thought being all alone wasn't a good idea. I assured him that I would be okay but he insisted. Xavier has a room for me in his mansion just in case I want to stay for a night or a few days. He didn't bother me last night, he let me have my personal space and think about everything that had happened. Even though I didn't want to admit it out loud, what happened yesterday weighed me down a little bit.Xavier looked at me and the corner of his lips curved into a smile.

    ANGELINAI took a few deep breaths as I tried to calm down. I felt as though oxygen had been cut off from my lungs and it was becoming hard for me to breathe. Everytime I looked at Lisa's face, it reminded me of betrayal and pain.“ I trusted you, Monalisa. I treated you like a sister that I never had. I treated you like a family but you stabbed me in the back.” The corner of my lips curved into a bitter smile when I remembered everything.“ Now are you happy that I have lost everything that I worked so hard for? Are you content?” She asked and I shook my head.“ No! I'm not content.” I banged on the wooden counter, making the glasses on the counter shake.“ I don't think I will ever be until you pay for everything that you have done! You made me go to jail for something that I didn't do and you want me to let it slide just like that?” I asked angrily and she was quiet.“ You have everything Angelina, can you just leave me alone?

    AUTHOR'S POVThe black SUV came to a halt and that's when Angelina realised that they had already arrived at the company. She was so busy going through the work emails on her phone that she didn't realise where they were. Whenever she was with Xavier, Angelina didn't need to worry about anything because she knew she was safe. That's how much she trusted her uncle.Xavier got out of the car and walked to the other side and opened the door for Angelina.“ Thank you.” She said as she flashed him a sweet innocent smile that reminded him of something that he wasn't supposed to be thinking about at the moment. It reminded him of the wild night that they shared together.Xavier recalled how Angelina couldn't stop moaning his name as she begged for more. He recalled every spank and every thrust. Damn it! He was being addicted to Angelina even though he wasn't supposed to.He offered her his hand and they walked to the company. Angelina looked around but there was no sign

    XAVIERI stared at the sleeping beauty in my arms and my lips curved into a smile. Even with her eyes closed, she still looked so beautiful. Angelina fell asleep in my arms on the couch in the living room while we were cuddling. I carried her to her room, laying her down on the soft comfortable bed and joined her since I had promised her that I would stay for the night. How was I supposed to say no to her? It was hard when it came to her. I didn't know how to say no to her and I hated myself for it.I don't know what the hell was happening to me lately but whatever it was, it was driving me insane. I know Angelina needed someone to talk to because she was feeling down. She needed someone to assure her that she hadn't done anything wrong. She needed someone to tell her that she tried her best to be a good friend to that Monalisa woman.I hated Monalisa for causing Angelina so much damage. If it was up to me, I would have erased her from the earth's surface a long tim

    ANGELINA“ I think that sounds alot better.” I laughed and Xavier groaned when he heard my words. We were talking about random stuff and I was teasing him around. I don't know why but, his voice did something to me which I couldn't explain each time he groaned.He had come to my place to check on me just to make sure that everything was fine. Xavier has been checking on me every single day. Whenever he was tied up with work, he would send Diego. I told him that he shouldn't be worried about me because I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself.“ Big girls need someone to watch over them too.” That's what he told me. It's not that I'm complaining or something. I'm happy that there's someone out there who cares about me so much…My mind jolted back to the present when my phone on the table dinged. I couldn't help it but frown, wondering what the message might be all about. I didn't have that many people on my contact list and it was late for work related stuff. Perhaps

    AUTHORS POVHorror could be seen on Monalisa's face as she watched her world crumble before her with her two eyes. The world that she worked so hard to build. She remembered all the blood, sweat and tears that she shed while building it. She made a lot of sacrifices in the process which involved betraying her best friend because she was getting in her way. She even committed murder just to have everything that she had.“ No! This is not true! This can't be true!” She screamed at the top of her voice, folding the papers then throwing it in the trash can.“ That is not true,Lucas. Don't believe whatever that paper is saying.There must be a mistake. This baby is yours. He's your son.” She grabbed Luca's hand and placed it on her belly but Lucas pulled it away instantly.“ Enough! That is not my son!” He shook his head in denial, “ You have been fooling me all this time but not anymore, Monalisa. I already know the truth and there'
