84: Prince Charming
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Hana watched the clock like a hawk waiting for its prey. Kyle told her he would be home by 5 pm. It was just 4:58 pm, and she was already at the door. When it finally hit 5 pm, she opened the door and poked her head outside. It was empty. Laughing at herself, she withdrew into the house and shut the door. Even if he finished by 5, he wouldn’t automatically be here by that time. Traffic might delay him, some meetings might extend. She had to be more patient.
But she missed her husband. The love of her life. Kyle loved her. God, he loved her. That was her dream come true. To find her real life prince charming, a man who adored her. But not only had she found a man who adored her, she found a man who would worship the ground she walked on, move the earth to ascertain her happiness.
What if Kyle really didn’t mean it? Well, she could ask him. They promised to always talk to each other. Heading to her room, she paused when her laptop pinged. She had spent

As soon as the words were out of her lips, Kyle froze. He took one step away from her, and she had to convince herself to stay put. That wasn’t how she planned to confess her feelings to him. But she couldn’t hold it in anymore. She wanted anyone who cared to know how much she loved this gorgeous man. The man who gave her a reason to smile each day and want to be the very best version of herself.“Say that again, Angel.”But she didn’t. “You love me, right?”“I’m confident about that as I am about the air I breathe,” he told her. He hadn’t closed the gap between them, but his words were a caress on her skin. She wanted to drag him close and kiss the heck out of him. Spread herself on any surface he wanted, and let him fuck her until she lost feeling in her legs. “So, Angel, say that again. Please.”“You can’t take it back, okay?” she said.
His Runaway Angel 86: Promise?
“Come home early today, okay?” Angel said.“Why?” Calvin asked.Calvin’s tie was undone, same as the buttons on his sleeves. The box of cufflinks was open, but he didn’t worry too much about it. Angel fixed his tie with a smile on his lips. This was a routine he could get used to. The domesticated life was become more appealing as the days passed. She picked up his cufflinks, and he held onto her hands for a moment to kiss her.“You didn’t say why.”“Because I want to see my husband,” she said. He made a sound like uh-huh. “Does it need to be a special occasion before I want to see my man an hour earlier than before?”“You want me here an hour earlier?” he asked.“Well… it’s not necessary,” she began. His arms wrapped around her waist, and he pushed her gently so she could sit on the edge of the table. “But it

Hana couldn’t believe she had fallen asleep while waiting for her husband. She began cooking past noon. The stuffed turkey was made from scratch, following a recipe she found onlïne. She needed it to be perfect, so she had followed all instruction to the book. But when it was 4:10, and he hadn’t shown up, she turned off all the candles and decided to wait for him in the dining.Walking into the kitchen with the turkey, she looked out the window. It was dark outside. She must have slept for long. They put the turkey in the microwave while she heated the rest of the meal over a pan. Kyle seemed too happy to be watching the microwave, so she let her husband be.“You should go take a shower,” she said.Kyle leaned against the counter, his legs crossed at the ankles. She had been upset at first, but it morphed into worry as the seconds passed by. Seeing him home was too much of a relief for her to be pissed, especially when it was o
His Runaway Angel 88: What's wrong?
In the morning, Calvin woke his wife up with a kiss to her cheek. She turned, her eyes fluttering open as her lips stretched in a smile. Her nipples were erect. He leaned down, claiming her lips as he toyed with them.“Baby,” Angel moaned against his lips. He pulled back to smile down at her. “Hey.”“Hey, sleep well?” he asked.“Very well,” his wife replied. She pushed herself up, about to pull the sheet over her nakedness, but he grabbed it. She pouted. “Don’t you have to be at work already?”“Yes, princess. But I promised to take you to the hospital, didn’t I?” At his words, Angel nodded. Calvin also wanted to have a word with Lance, to be sure if his suspicions were right. And there was one more thing to ask his wife. “The publisher that approached you. What name did you give them? Your pen or real name?”“Pen name,&rdquo
His Runaway Angel 89: Me too
Hana was lost in thoughts. She was staring out the window, unaware what was going on around her until someone tapped her. Her mother-in-law. She put on a smile that made Leila shake her head. “You don’t fool me, girlie,” Leila told her. Hana laughed. She dragged her chair away from the window so her mother-in-law could sit on the sill. Who would have thought that a visit to the doctor’s for her own benefit would unleash memories? She had been fine with going to the hospital until they were there. And then she remembered how that doctor’s fingers felt inside her vagina, violating her. Even Kyle’s smiles couldn’t lift her mood, so she tried to push him away to avoid distracting him. “What’s wrong?” “What if I said nothing?” Hana whispered. Hana didn’t want to talk about it. Well, she would, but only with Kyle. The way Leila’s brows drew together made her want to hide away. She wouldn’t want to make an enemy out of this beautiful, won
His Runaway Angel 90: Dinner
Calvin’s heart skipped. He almost dropped his wife’s hand but recovered quickly. To be fair, she was looking better than she did when he dropped her at his parents in the morning. But he didn’t want to pressure her into speaking about something she wasn’t ready for. Today had been a shitshow with the appointment of Mr Anderson as the new co-CEO with KJ. He couldn’t even be at the meeting due to his schedule, so he had followed the whole process via zoom.“Are you sure?” he asked, passing her a side glance. She popped some popcorn and peanut into her mouth and nodded. That combination wasn’t one he would have considered, but his wife looked happy to have it. “When we get home then, yeah?”“Yeah. When we get home,” she replied.They continued in quiet until they were in the parking lot. She went for the door, but he held her wrist. “Don’t worry. I’ll get it.”
His Runaway Angel 91: Me before you
Calvin couldn’t shake off that feeling. He lied to his wife, and he so fucking hated it. But on further analysis, it wasn’t exactly a lie. He didn’t know for sure if Lance would cancel the deal. The man had avoided him all week and now, today was the grand opening of the cinema and new office. He could only hope Lance would be there. Someone tapped him. He forced a smile to his lips when he noticed Angel by his side.“I’ve been calling you,” she said. She was? He didn’t hear her. She adjusted his tie and flattened her hands on his chest. Her hair was in a bun, and her makeup was subtle. Camilla hadn’t come to help, but she had been on a video call with his wife. Her green dress matched the kerchief in his breast pocket. “Is everything okay? You have been acting so distant. It’s bothering me.”“Just nerves,” he said. He hated this. The problem with lying was that you had to
His Runaway Angel 92: Charles
Calvin’s heart pounded. His wife was staring up at him with questions in her blue eyes. This wasn’t the right time to come straight to her. Besides, he hadn’t gotten an update yet.“Is there something you want to tell me?”“Something like what?” he asked to know the extent of her suspicions.“I don’t know, you tell me. What was Lance trying to say before yourudelyinterrupted him?” Angel asked. Seeing she was not upset, he stepped in and cupped her ass. Her eyes softened. “Baby. Kyle.”“I was rude?” he teased.“Yeah. You cut him off. That’s rude, Kyle.”He gave her ass one more squeeze, and she whimpered, bringing her hands to flatten them on his chest. “He did it first. I repaid him.”“But is everything okay?”“Yes, I promise. Lance is a… cool guy.”“Y

Footsteps pounded behind Camilla. How the heck was he so fast? He sounded close, but she didn’t look back to confirm her suspicions. A sudden pressure on her hair made her screech to a stop. Pain spread through her scalp, and she bit into her lip to stop herself from screaming. The copper taste of blood filled her mouth. She placed both hands on her head to ease the pain.The pressure finally reduced, but the pain lingered. Vanya stopped in front of her, the ends of her long ponytail wrapped around his fist. Her breath rushed out in ragged pants. Tears pricked the back of her eyes.Camilla took one step back, but the tug on her hair reminded her she wouldn’t get far. She had always prided herself on her long hair, but now she wished it wasn’t lengthy.“Let. Go,” she whispered, her voice shaky.“The phone.”“No.”Vanya reached for her handbag, his hand tight around the strap. She tried to yank it from his grip, but it was nearly impossible. His grip was steel. They struggled, mostly her

Deep breaths. Inhale and exhale.Camilla May McKenna could do it. She could handle the simple task of taking pictures of a cheating lover and prove to her best friend that Vanya, her boyfriend, was a scum. KJ, her youngest brother, always told her evidence was key. He was the same one who told her men hated shopping and never went on that adventure without a woman unless sex was involved. So, the second Vanya walked into the boutique, she had rushed to the bathroom to call her best friend Faye. If Vanya was at the boutique, then he was with someone else. Faye was in class. All she had to do was get evidence, so Faye would leave the cheat.Retrieving a tube of pink lipstick from her purse, she reapplied it and fluffed her hair. From the mirror, her hair was flat on the sides from her consistent touching. Wasting no more time in the bathroom, she smacked her lips and walked out. Vanya hadn’t met her. He wouldn’t recognise her, so there was no need for her to use a disguise. Cold air r
His Runaway Angel Epilogue
Sweat rolled down Calvin’s forehead. He hid a frown as he dabbed on the evidence of his anxiety. This was a regular date with his wife. He shouldn’t be nervous, but unlike other dates, this one was special. Different. It was an anniversary date. Last month was the one-year anniversary of meeting Angel on that rainy night. His wife had suffered an abrupt illness, so he couldn’t take her out. They had rescheduled it for today, making sure it fell on the same day. 10th day of the month. Instead of celebrating a one-year anniversary of knowing each other, it would be a thirteen months celebration. Calvin adjusted his suit in front of the mirror and ran a hand over the front of his jacket. He had no reason to worry. Life was good. His babies were fine. His wife was awesome. The cast of season two were already getting ready for production. A smile took over his lips as those thoughts solidified even more.The bedroom door opened, and Calvin stopped fussing with his tie. Angel strutted in,
His Runaway Angel 125: Today and every other day
Calvin waited in the car while his wife and sister-in-law visited their mother’s grave. His fingers drummed on his knee as the seconds went by. He couldn’t understand what they felt. Losing both parents would drive him insane. But the ladies had taken it in stride. Cara seemed to be the most affected.It was only a few days after the new year. Cara had spent it with them but returned to school the next day. These days, she spoke more often without prompting. The cast of season two had already been selected, but he wanted to give her a spot as an extra.IfLance agreed. But Lance would have to.Browsing through his phone, Calvin sat up when he heard approaching footsteps. He looked up to see Cara and Angel. Cara’s eyes were red with tears, and Angel looked to be consoling her. They stopped a few feet from the car and Angel hugged her sister. He waited behind, not sure his presence would be wanted in such moment.Soon, both lad
His Runaway Angel 124: Christmas
Christmas was a big deal for the McKenna family, but that wasn’t always the case with Hana. She adjusted her dress a few times, and her husband scooped her up before she could tug on her sleeves one more time.“Baby, you need to stop that,” Kyle warned. She hugged his neck, her eyes closing as she let out a breath. “Everyone already loves you, there’s no need to be nervous.”“Well, yeah, I guess.”Hana’s stomach grumbled. He frowned and placed a hand on her stomach. “Hungry?” “No. Just a bit nervous.”“Don’t be, okay?” he said in a patronising voice. “I love you, and my family loves you.”Hana wasn’t only nervous for herself, she was for her sister too. It was the first family dinner with Cara, Hana, and the entire McKenna clan. After her discharge from the hospital, Cara had gone cold. Or should she say,
His Runaway Angel 123: A good husband
Night rolled by without Kyle showing up to the guestroom. Hana curled under the sheet, her eyes filling with tears. Should she have been upset about the loss of their child? Yes, she was. She was hurt. Her heart was shattered for their child, but at no point did she blame her husband for that.If any one should be blamed or punished for it, it was Baba. But Kyle was driving a wall between them with his constant self-blame. They lost a child and should grieve together not push each other apart. She meant what she said about not wanting a fight with him. She had missed him too much to let what was supposed to be a shared suffering drive them apart. He was seeing it as a loss, but she saw it as a gift.Maybe others wouldn’t see it that way, but that was her. Baba pushed her. She fell on her belly but lost only one baby. What if she had lost all? She had so many more positives to be thankful for. One, her sister. Two, her babies. Three, her husband. He mi
His Runaway Angel 122: Goodnight
Calvin should be a happy man since his kidnapped wife was back home, but he hadn’t gotten the courage to tell her about the babies. He also couldn’t get rid of the guilt that had taken over his chest. No matter what anyone told him, it was his fault. His stubbornness brought them here.Someone tapped him. He looked up, and a fake smile took over his lips. It was his wife.“What are you thinking?” she asked.“Nothing. Just getting ready.”Angel placed a hand on her waist. “Really?”Calvin hadn’t heard his beautiful wife enter the bathroom. She must have caught him staring into space. He tended to do that more often these days. They were getting ready to head to the hospital for their evening checkup. Cara was still there, but she was feeling better than she did last week. His wife had formed a habit of reading a chapter from her favourite romance book to her sister.
His Runaway Angel 121: Take me home
Hana’s eyes peeled open slowly. She had gotten so used to her new home that the change had her shutting her eyes again to be sure this wasn’t a dream. This… this didn’t look like where Baba kept her.Where was he? Where was Cara? Each time she tried to remember everything that could have led her to this point, her head throbbed. Someone squeezed Hana’s hand. Groaning softly, she turned to the side and saw Kyle. A minute or two passed. That, that couldn’t be real. Was she dreaming? Was this heaven?“Baby,” he whispered, his fingers brushing her cheek. He was real. Wait, were both of them dead? Did Baba kill her? How did he get here? The heart monitor beside her beeped out of control, and Kyle palmed her cheeks. “Hey, princess. Relax, it’s me. Your dragon prince.”“Kyle?”“Yes. Yes,” he whispered. “I’m here.” Hana winced as she tried to sit up. Her h
His Runaway Angel 120: This was pain
They found her. It had been a week since Calvin’s mother gave them the tip about the tracker in the pendant. In that time, they had all worked tirelessly to find Calvin’s wife. Within that time, Calvin experienced too many breakdowns to count. This ordeal wasn’t one he would wish on anyone, not even people he loathed. He sat in his wife’s office, phone in his hand, waiting for a call or something that would take him to her. His heart was broken and hollow, and had stopped beating right a long time ago.This was pain. This was torture.Coming to the office wasn’t actually for him to work. Her absence was driving him insane because her scent was everywhere. He was tired of his whole family fussing over him, so he had promised them he would show up at work to use it as a distraction. That didn’t work. Because he found himself in her office, sometimes just touching all the things she touched, staring into space or pacing the
