91: Me before you
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Calvin 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

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

His wife’s smile was no longer shy, and her fingers grazed his cock. “So… if I make the CEO very, very happy right now, I’ll pass the first stage of the interview?” she whispered. Her sultry voice went straight to his dick. His head bobbed shakily. “Will you be a good boss to me? You know I can be so naive. It will also be my first job experience.”“Oh, I will be,” he said. God, he needed her now. But he couldn’t do anything unless she took the lead. So far, she was doing a great job. “I’ll be the best you’ve ever had.”On her knees now, hands on his thighs, she said, “Sir? Can I please have your cock in my mouth?”“Fuck!” he screamed.Calvin was always the one initiating conversation or compliments during sex, but this was priceless. Something he didn’t realise he wanted incorporated to their sex life.“Sir? Am

The ride to the hospital was awkward and quiet. Hana had followed the ambulance after her husband went limp in her arms. His parents had refused to leave, staying with her in the waiting room until their family doctor approved for them to enter.Someone tried to hurt her husband. And she hadn’t been able to do anything. It was her fault. Charles hit him because of her.The whole event replayed in her head like a slow motion movie. Charles had come in. She had stepped back, thinking Kyle was aware of his friend’s presence, only for the animal to punch him. Charles punched him twice. It was only on the second punch that people had sprung to action. She was still stunned. Even as she sat in hospital with him, watching the doctor check Kyle’s eyes.Diane had been the last person Hana expected to see. And when the woman had bent to touch her husband, she had gone into shock mode. She hadn’t moved. Why didn’t she react faster
His Runaway Angel 95: Press charges
Calvin felt like shit. He woke up feeling like he had a weight in his eyes until that slowly lifted. Rolling to the other side, he frowned when his body encountered nothing. He sat up, patting the bed as if expecting his wife to appear there. But she wasn’t. The bed was still warm, so she couldn’t have been up for long. He went to the bathroom, but it was empty. He avoided looking at his face until he had brushed. Splashing water on his face, he dragged his lower lid down.Angel had applied the eye drops yesterday. The redness around that eye had reduced, but the bruise was still obvious. He couldn’t go to work like this, but he had places to be. Walking back to the room, he opened the door and paused when Angel entered. She was holding a wooden stool with a tray. He wanted to smile but couldn’t.“You’re awake.”“Yeah,” Calvin said, his voice gruffer than he wanted. Annoyance simmered in his veins. He w
His Runaway Angel 96: Fair point
Tuesday came faster than Hana wanted. They had spent most of yesterday and Monday talking, watching movies and fucking. Kyle was horny, and she didn’t deny her husband because she had seized his phones. She also suspected that the only reason he agreed to stay in on Monday was because the bruise around his eye was still evident.As he was preparing for work, the claws of loneliness sank into her. She had finished two screenwriting courses and mentioned that in her resume. When she tried to bring that up yesterday, he brushed it off. If she wouldn’t let him have his phone then no work talk could be entertained. Fair point.But right now, Hana was nervous about bringing it up. He hadn’t given her an email address to at least send her resume. Once he saw it, they could begin the next stage of correction. She was eager to begin work.Her husband looked her way, as if sensing the direction of her thoughts. “Princess?”&n
His Runaway Angel 97: Happy now?
Kyle wasn’t one to come home late. If he had a reason to be late, he would have informed Hana. But it was a few minutes past ten, and he hadn’t called or texted her. She checked her phone but there was nothing. Not wanting to worry his parents, she called KJ who told her he was fine and a bit busy.That was the only thing that calmed her. But why didn’t he let her know? She curled in the living room couch, hoping to catch him when he got home. As much as this upset her, she promised herself she wouldn’t be mad at him. Even if she would reprimand him, it wouldn’t be immediately.Hana fell asleep on that couch, and when she woke up, it was to a heavy pounding on the front door. She blinked away the sleep, grabbing the phone on the table. 6:05 am. She shot to her feet. What the hell was happening? Looking around revealed she was home alone. Kyle didn’t come back. From the empty call log, he also didn’t call.
His Runaway Angel 98: Dragon prince
Hana called her husband by 1 pm. As much as she had wanted to call before then, she resisted. The only reason she was calling now was to remind him about the lawyer. She had to reply APS email today.Kyle didn’t pick up. Trying not to read too much into it, she held off on calling again. He said to reach out to him by 2 pm, it was only a few minutes then. Sliding down the couch, she rested her elbows on her knees.If her husband was too busy to help with her resume, maybe she could ask his parents. He wouldn’t blame her for that, would he? After all, he did tell her his mum got promoted of her own merit while working with his father. She could help her.The phone rang for a few minutes before Leila picked up. Hana cleared her throat a few times. “Hey, Mum,” she greeted. “Hey.”“Hey, my sweet child.”Hana laughed. Her mother-in-law words from her last visit shot through her body.“I’

Things were falling apart for Calvin. Some of the investors were no longer picking up his calls. He had taken to hunting them down where they were. The first night, he had found himself at a club. KJ had been kind enough to accompany him. But he had stuffed himself with so much drink to keep from falling asleep only to end up passing out. He was neglecting his wife, but he had to fix this before Saturday, the movie premiere.The second night, he had to be at some other club. On the bright side, it was paying off. For the first time this week, he would be sleeping at home. It was a few minutes past 12 am. Fuck. He thought he had time. KJ had been kind enough to allow him crash at his place after his time in the club. Everyone was on board now. The premiere was holding as planned, and he was convinced of their support.Seeing the time and all the missed texts and calls from his wife over the week made Calvin’s heart ache. He hadn’t read most of them. Each tim

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
