104: I’m alright
Calvin was afraid to ruin the moment. But it would be worse if Angel found out herself. He had to tell her now or it might be too late. She wiggled and pulled away from him, so she could look at him from the other end of the couch. She folded her legs, taking the blanket with her. He didn’t mind. The cold was the least thing for him to worry about. It was the second week of September, and the weather was growing colder.
“Don’t get mad at me, alright?” he said.“You’re freaking me out,” Angel replied.
“Remember at KP when you overheard me and KJ talking?” he continued. She nodded, and he moved close. “When we were talking about my past? And then we saw Lance when we returned back to the building.”
“Yes.”
“I had a wild past. We already discussed this,” he said. She nodded. He knew he was stalling, but he wanted to soften the blo

His Runaway Angel 105: I’ll share
Hana woke up in her husband’s arms. She knew when he broke down the pillow walls. She was acutely aware of his arms sneaking around her waist to pull her into a hug. What she didn’t understand was this need to be with him even after he hurt her. Trying to sleep on their matrimonial bed was tough. It felt like she had cut off a piece of herself, so she had come to find him at night.Today was Monday, and it signified many things. Her first day of work, that was if she still wanted to go ahead with it. She would, mostly because they had talked about it so often, and it was time to make a decision.Hana’s husband was still asleep when she peeled herself off him. He whined but didn’t wake up. She was almost at the door when she heard a voice. A very sleepy voice.“Princess?”Without opening the door, she turned to him, her hand still locked around the knob.“Yes?”“You’re le
His Runaway Angel 106: On the house
Working with Kyle was simpler than Hana expected. A bit awkward since they had to share one desk, and she had to evade his gaze so many times. Asides the anxiety, it was fairly okay. He had introduced her to Ivana, his assistant. For now, they agreed not to let anyone know she was the author of A Dragon’s Kiss. But now, she knew who played a role in ADK success. Ivana had managed it until Lance picked it up.Though she was a tad disappointed it wasn’t all luck and her efforts, she still felt loved by her husband. Before he knew who she was, he believed in her. The reminder brought a smile to her lips. She could feel his gaze on her but managed to keep her head down. This was one thing they had spent most of the morning doing. He was busy on his laptop, answering emails. A few times she would raise her head to see he was already watching and smiling at her.Since she came, she hadn’t done much. So far, Ivana had reported about the status of the d
His Runaway Angel 107: Host one
Calvin knew he did great with the surprise visit to the cafe shop. It had been harder than he expected to locate this place. The information he had to go on was the few details Angel had told him subconsciously. Something about a Leah who loved her and would always let her stay in her shop to write.The few times he asked about Leah, Angel would relate it to that night they met and freeze. He never pried too much, so she wouldn’t suspect. It wasn’t a bribe, but after the movie premiered, he had put more effort into finding it. Thankfully, he was able to.Angel snuggled closer to him. She still had the smile from when he gave her the sharpie so she could sign her book for Leah. The woman had looked too pleased, so pleased she had asked him to take a few pictures of her, Angel and Gerard with the couple holding the book. He would have brought two if he knew about Gerard early.It had been a while since his wife directed this pure smile to h
His Runaway Angel 108: Gone
Hana was all smiles as they got home. Not only did she get to see people she thought she would never see again, she would also be attending her first Halloween party. A look at her husband with the many bags of purchase from the boutique toned down some of her excitement. He had refused her help and forbade her from helping him.They hadn’t discussed parties, but Camilla made Halloween sound so exciting. She wanted to experience it, if only once, and with the comfort of people she trusted and loved. They stopped at the door of their apartment, and she slipped her hand into her husband’s pocket to retrieve the key.“Baby,” she began. “We don’t really have to host a party, okay? I was just really excited. It’s not necessary. I can do without a party.”“Have you been to a Halloween party?” Kyle asked. Hana shook her head. “Then we have our answer. We are hosting one. We will make it small, if t
His Runaway Angel 109: Angel is here
The call ended minutes ago, but Calvin could still hear the conversation in his head. He tried to replay everything Ivana told him in slow motion. She had come in to work today, as usual. It had taken a while for her to get to the entrance because she had rushed back to pay the cab fare. It was the smell that first alerted her to the growing fire, then the smoke. She had called him after calling the fire department.A tap on Calvin’s cheek made him shake his head slowly. He had woken up early to make breakfast for him and his wife before the call came in. Blinking fast helped to clear his vision. His wife was in front of him. He was in their room. When? How did he get here? He couldn’t remember moving.“Hey, it’s okay,” Angel whispered. Going on her knees, she placed her hands on his knees. “I brought you here, okay? You were blanking out, and I thought you wanted to sit.”“KP is on fire,” he told her.
His Runaway Angel 110: Excuse me?
Hana wanted to tell her husband. What if it was Baba not Charles? She looked at Kyle, who was still in bed. She wasn’t sure he was asleep. Sneaking out of the room, she went to the kitchen to make them breakfast. His family had stayed until later at night. There were other food options, but she gravitated to the noodles and pulled out a few packets.Eating it yesterday had helped his mood, or maybe it was his family’s presence. But they could not have his family here always. Right now, she was the only family with him, and she had to make him feel better about this.Done cooking, she made coffee for him and served herself orange juice for her food. A breath escaped her parted lips as she set the tray on the dining table. For now, there was no work. Investigations were ongoing, and no one was allowed into the building until further notice. She hadn’t checked KP’s rankings and that of the last movie. It was top ten for one weekend, and she w
His Runaway Angel 111: Untouchable
Calvin only needed to hear the first few sentences from his wife before he knew what his answer was. A big, fat, capital no.“I’m not taking money from you,” he said as calmly as possible. He didn’t know how much she meant by six figures, but he knew he didn’t want to take a penny from her. She wasn’t planning to give him part of it, she wanted him to have all. There was no way he would agree. “Thanks, princess. I really appreciate it. But the answer is no.”“Why?”“You worked hard. You deserve it.”“Not really,” Angel replied, folding her arms on her chest. He blinked in shock. “You did all the promotions before you knew it was me. After you did, you still didn’t stop promoting. So, it’s not just my money. It’s our money. Yes, I did the work by writing. But you also helped me, Kyle.”His wife’s intentions
His Runaway Angel 112: Bible
It didn’t make sense to Hana. Her husband still wanted to host the Halloween party. Her immediate thought was no, but she had to be smart and diplomatic about it. She fixed their dinner on a tray and carried it to the dining room. Kyle was on a call when she left to cook. This week, she had been leaving the office without him because his meetings ran late. Andrea would drop her home first, then return to the office to pick up her husband whenever he was done.Camilla called to know if the party would still be holding. That was the only reason she brought up the topic with Kyle. So they could discuss and tell his sister no. Maybe she shouldn’t have mentioned it or waited until later to do so. If she didn’t experience Halloween this year, she would do so next year or any other time. It wasn’t a necessity.Heading to their room, Hana knocked once and opened the door. Kyle was still in his suit. Talking to his family had helped. They had pulled in f
