25: She fled
Today, Hana arrived before her date. Mr Black had profusely apologised for being late, but it wasn’t his fault because she was fifteen minutes early. She was nervous. Baba hadn’t given her any details beyond asking her to look good. He seemed happy about the result of the last date, and she could only hope that was the case today.
Mr Black had selected an open restaurant, and she was grateful for his choice. A large metallic fence with leaves interwoven into it surrounded them. The cool air was a topic for discussion, but she had been unable to speak since their drinks arrived.
“Miss Kent,” Mr Black murmured. “I’d like to apologise about the last meeting.”
Hana forced out a laugh. “It’s fine.”
“You didn’t even get my name,” he said. She wasn’t sure she cared for it. If she had her way, they would have separate rooms after the wedding. Placing a hand on his chest, he contin

“Who is she?” Calvin screamed at his best friend. He had tried to run after Angel, but her driver was faster. Diane tried to hold him, but he shrugged her off. Her presence was irritating him. Plus, she had refused to leave the two men to talk. The next time she tried to touch him, he snapped. “Stop.”Charles had returned to the spot where he had the date with Angel. Calvin wasn’t thinking straight when he grabbed the glass from Charles. His friend glared, backing off when Calvin didn’t so much as blink.“I already told you, her name is Miss Kent. You were supposed to be here as a backup plan, but fortunately, I didn’t need one,” his friend said, scowling at the lady seated on the hand of Calvin’s chair. Diane shrugged, and Calvin did his hardest to ignore her. “I’m glad you made it here, Cal. Truly, I am. But I don’t appreciate your newfound interest in my wife. We’re good now.&r

“He has a girlfriend,” Hana murmured.Hana was sitting by the dresser, her fingers fisted in the air as she tried to take off her earrings. She couldn’t remember how many minutes or hours she had spent in this position, but the moment the driver parked, she had run into her room. Baba wasn’t home when she returned. Mama had been watching a soap opera, so she didn’t get a chance to question Hana.She finally removed the second earring and tucked it into the case on the table. A groan from the bed reminded her she wasn’t alone. Her sister was reading on her tab. Hana had taken her advice to split the book so Cara was making all the final touches.“Who?” Cara asked.Hana picked up her laptop and opened the manuscript. She thought she was done with it. The book had ended with a happy ever after, but the happiness she felt the day she put the last full stop to the document was missing. There was a hol
His Runaway Angel 28: I’m not an angel
On Friday, Calvin skipped family dinner. Late in the afternoon on Saturday, he went to his parent’s house and tiptoed into the room to avoid calling attention to himself. Calvin had just climbed into bed when a knock came from behind the door. Pushing the cover off his legs, he sat up against the headboard. The door opened without his permission, and he hid a groan as his sister enter. He must have forgotten to lock up. Sweeping a hand over his body covered in a tank top and briefs, he asked, “What if I was naked, Cam?” “Are you?” “See for yourself,” he retorted. Thoughts of Angel still plagued him, but he wasn’t sure who to discuss it with. Camilla must have heard him enter because he had been very quiet. “So, did that guy ever call you?” Camilla shut the door with her foot and rested her weight on it. They were silent for a moment. He didn’t know if it was a good idea to mention Angel. If Camilla knew, then the

Days had passed, weeks too, and Calvin was yet to hear from Rock. He had started avoiding Charles, not because he didn’t care for his friend, but because he didn’t want to be part of the wedding Charles was planning. His best friend was going ahead with his plans, and as much as he didn’t want to be a buzzkill, he couldn’t hide his disapproval. If he could get a chance with Angel, he would convince her to marry him instead. His parents did it once, and it worked for them. He could do it again. His screen blurred as he stared at it. He had a lot to do. He hadn’t gotten a new assistant to handle aspects of Kenna Prime. People had been showing up, but none of them were good enough. It wasn’t that they lacked the credentials to work for him. He was too distracted to sit still through an interview and pick one of the many available options. He wanted to be a part of the hiring process because the person would work with him as closely as Destinee did. Calvin shut his lapto
His Runaway Angel 30: You brat
Calvin opened the backdoor of his car for his sister to enter. The driver was already behind the wheel. Camilla flipped her hair proper diva style, letting some strands brush his cheek and slipped into the car. He laughed. Given the valuable information she had brought to him today, he couldn’t bring himself to be bothered by her antics. Her iPad was still with him, and he had no plans of returning it anytime soon. But as soon as he joined her in the backseat, she stretched her hand to him. “Give it back.” “Come on. Let me hold onto it for tonight.” Calvin wanted to read the story. Live in the world his angel created. Maybe she would explain why she left him. Perhaps he could understand how her mind worked. He also had to tell her about Diane. She meant nothing to him. They were just sex buddies. “Nope,” his sister replied. “I’ll get you another one.” Tapping a finger to her pouted lips, Camilla told him, “You’ll retu
His Runaway Angel 31: Big fan
Hana burst into her sister’s room with a yell. Her phone almost fell from her hand, but she caught it before it hit the ground. Cara, who was taking a nap, roused and rubbed the back of her palm over her eyes. Hana jumped to the bed, yanking the comforter from Cara’s body. Since her sister started attending rehearsals, they hadn’t been spending as much time together. When Cara didn’t look at what Hana was showing her, she held her head steady, forcing her to look at her screen.It was Cara’s idea to put the book on pre-order so they had a chance to send ARCs and promote it before release. Hana hadn’t expected anything. The last few days since the pre-order went live, she had refreshed her page so often to see zero preorders. But today, there was one order. One person freaking paid for her book. She was one book closer to being a bestselling author.Cara had also taken charge of creating social media pages and handling it for her.
His Runaway Angel 32: Marry me
Rock, the private investigator Calvin hired, didn’t find anything useful on Angel Kent. She was a new indie author with only one book, which was set to release in June, in her name. Without a picture or her first name, it was a dead end. When Rock asked for more information, probably someone Calvin knew who was in touch with Angel, he had given out his best friend’s details.Calvin had almost disagreed with the PI’s idea of stalking Charles, but it was their only lead. Now, he had Charles’ schedule and had gotten a call from Rock alongside a picture of his best friend with a pretty lady.His lady. No one told Calvin to rush to the venue after getting that picture. He left everything he was doing to be here.Angel wasn’t the only person shocked at his presence. Destinee had tried to stop him from leaving the office, but he ignored her. Angel opened and closed her mouth.Calvin couldn’t help himself from
His Runaway Angel 33: Final answer?
Words blurred on Calvin’s screen. He had no idea why he was wasting his time here when he had been unproductive for most part of the day. He peeked at his wristwatch and sighed. 1:45 pm. He had never wished for Camilla’s disturbance like he did now. He needed a distraction. Someone to pull him out of this slump he was about to slip into.His phone rang, but once he saw the name on it, he placed it face down. Charles. There was no point holding on or waiting for a girl who blatantly said she couldn’t marry him. He was doing himself no favours. So why couldn’t he stop thinking about her?The door opened, and his assistant offered him a tight smile without entering.“I was knocking, sir.”He didn’t hear. Sitting up, he grabbed the armrests and released a breath. “Come in.”Destinee walked in and dropped her tablet on his desk. He flipped it around to see the images on the screen better. Pictures of
