AngelI listened to Thea and contacted Lola. I set our meeting for the next day. We met at a restaurant close to a designer store where I had dropped Thea to do some shopping while she waited. I had made reservations for a Vip space in the restaurant so that we could have the privacy we needed to talk about business. Less people were on this space and they weren't even close to us. A waiter serves serves us our drink and gestures a smile before leaving. It was just me and Lola and things got a little bit awkward. We stare at each other for a while and I could see the red tint on her cheek, she tucked her lips in trying to surpress a blush and it reminded me of Thea, the times she did that. "You're smiling." Lola says breaking the silence and bringing me back to reality. "I'm I?" "Mmhmm...." She hums and I chuckle. I had been thinking about Thea and enjoying the feeling that I didn't realize it had translated to a smile. "You always appear too serious. I only see your playful sid
TheaI stared at myself in the mirror trying to love the dress I was wearing. I was still critical about it. I bet the sales associate was exhausted already. I was indecisive of the particular what clothes to choose. My mind wandered to Angel and I was curious to know how his meeting went. I hoped Lola had something that could be of help to him. I also couldn't help the thoughts that flashed through my mind. What if she had tried to kiss him just like she did before or done something inappropriate. I frowned, cursing within me. "Did my comment offend you? I didn't mean it that way. I'm so sorry." I was taken back to reality by the lady apologizing. "Ah! No, I was just thinking of something else. It wasn't you." I said feeling uneasy. "Ah... I get. We can try somethings else then. It would have been better if you had something in particular you were searching for.""I don't. I'm just shopping randomly." She nods and picks out another dress, it was a sheer, crystal gown. The eres wa
Carl couldn't muster the courage to go back to Florentine's room that day, he was already livid that the girls had caught him by her door so he didn't want to take any chances. During the weekend games he found himself unable to take his eyes off her, especially with the way she was dressed that day. Her attire accentuated her features more, she looked a lot younger than what her usual style made her be. She let her hair fall and it was beautiful, having a loose wave to it. She just looked different and better. He really couldn't concentrate on the game and it wasn't just because of the way she looked that day. Ever since that night he had harrassed her, his mind was never at ease and like karma, he began to see her at every corner he turned to. Almost like he was being reminded that he was yet to give a proper apology to her. Today, he decided to meet her by every means possible. He wasn't going to let anything distract him so he came to her room once again. He landed a knock on
They walked in silence untill Florentine decided to break it. "How old are you?" She blurted. "Thirty two." Carl answered and her heart dipped. She swallowed hard. A decade gap shouldn't be of much concern. What in heavens was she even thinking? She yelled within. No, this was bad. She should have been fifteen years older, that way the difference would seem outrageous. "I'm forty one.""I wasn't going to ask and you didn't need to tell me just because you asked my age.""Well, I just did." "You could pass off as someone in her thirties. You just have a more mature behavior. You mother everyone, so it can't be helped." "I'll say you flatter about the thirty stuff.""Late thirties." He said feeling amused. "That's a cruel joke." They both laugh and silence followed. She couldn't believe she just laughed.They arrive at the tennis court and go to sit there. She rubs her shoulder feeling chills from the night's cold. "You should have gotten something thicker." She looked at him gl
TheaA day had been agreed upon for us to go to the club, I was excited as well as the girls. I could sense Angel's reluctance in letting us go, I knew his reasons were to protect us but for how long? No one knew what would happen during the operation against Sparrow, I hoped nothing bad happened to the men but none of us could wait till they returned from the operation to have some fun. It was overdue and there would be guards protecting us so no one needed to worry. We had taken a day out to go shopping for club wears and nothing excited me more at this time. It was going to be my first outing with the girls. "Here, lets take a picture." Cassandra said bringing out her phone. Camila and I perched beside her as she raised her phone for a selfie. We had each pair of clothes we were supposed to try on hanging on our chest as we posed for the pictures."Alright, take a picture of Camila and I." I said dragging camila by the hand to pose at a better background. Cassandra huffed and sh
Thea"Hey...." I called pinching my fingers. "Do you have plans of coming home now?" He asked and I became curious. "Why?" "I was wondering if you'd like to spend the rest of your day with me... Outside the mansion." He concluded and I was surprised. I didn't expect that from him but I was very happy about it. "I think staying at home could wait." I said and they girls looked at me wondering what we discussed on the phone. "Seems I have a date with Angel." I said and they both giggled, getting excited for me as well. I had thought I'd get home first to meet Angel before we both left, but to my surprise he was already nearby. I had taken the time to tour the environment while I waited for him. I watched kids play the claw machine and it felt so heart warming. In few months time, I should have been expecting my child with Angel but it never got to live. Sad though but everyday I prayed and wished it would come back to us when the time was right. I turned around hearing the sound
TheaThe girls and I were set for the club tonight. Angel got me a new make up box and I decided to do the girls make up myself, I styled them and tried not to make them too slutty. Our hair was done by Cassandra while the nails were fixed by Camila. It was time for us to go and the men were waiting downstairs to see us off. I knew it wasn't an easy decision letting us go to the club alone with just guards. Not with everything that had been going on, they were worried about our safety but as long as we got their approvals it didn't matter. Once we got downstairs, Camila and Cassandra went to their men and I found Angel eying my dress seductively. He raised his gaze to look at me and a blush crept up my face. His lips curved into a sexy smile making me blush harder. He stretched forth his hand slightly, calling me into his arms. "It's illegal to look this hot." He said wrapping his hands around my waist."Oh really? I should wear a long skirt then." I joked and he laughed. He spanked
Thea While Thea danced hot on the stage, men cheer her up and stake money, Cassie and Camila also cheer her up. They were going to be naughty and glad that the men weren't there. During her performance, Thea caught the gaze of one man in particular but noticed the way he looked at her. He was giving off the energy of a pervert. Since she used to work at the club and met different types of men. This one looked like an abuser, he had an air around him that made me feel uncomfortable so I looked away from him and moved to another pole to stay away from him but he started yelling at me to come to his side. He staked more money and chased me around. "Thea, Thea!" I heard the girls yell my name so I turned to their directions. They wave their hand at me and I give them a quzzical gaze "Angel is here." They whisper but I'm not sure if I read their lips well. They start pointing to the elevation and just then my eyes catch up with him, leaning by the rail and watching me intensely. He
Chapter 4 I thought catching my husband making love to my bestfriend was the cruelest sight I could ever see but the pain that came with him making love to her in my helplessness and going ahead to propose was out of this world. I had no idea how I was able to survive but Miguel and Nicole were not done with me. A week after Miguel had proposed, he made arrangements for me to be transfered to a care givers home where he paid for my treatments and care. Back then, I had wondered how he intended to get married while he was still legally married to me but one day, he returned with a court document that permitted him to file for a divorce without involving the second party. He had knelt in front of me that day, explaining how he needed to move on with his life. He apologized for everything he had done and went on to be a bastard by saying he would have wanted me to do the same if he were in my shoes. He had no idea what it meant to be in my shoes. I had been here for a month now, no
Chapter 3 "It hurts." I could hear my voice echo in my head. My head hurt. I could feel a weight in my eyes as I struggled to pull them open, when I finally did, what I saw were blurred images, I could hardly make out the meaning only the image before me. I tried to move something else, my hand maybe but I had no feelings there. I tried to talk but I couldn't find my voice then I heard someone speak. I listened carefully and could finally make out who the sound belonged to. A familiar pain struck me, one that I desperately wished would seize and never return. It was the pain from betrayal. The cruelest form of it. "I think Racheal has suffered enough Miguel, It's time for us to let her go." What was that witch talking about? I yelled within me, recognizing the female's voice to be no other than Nicole, my best... I swore at myself for almost giving her the title. So I meant, my ex-bestfriend. "I know it's hard to pull out your wife from life support but it's the best thing you c
Chapter 2 Racheal "Miguel! Nicole!" I cried out their names. My voice almost got lost with those two words as the weight of my heartache was carried in my voice. Tears spilled uncontrollably from my eyes. I was still praying that I was caught up in a vivid dream. As if catching them cheating wasn't enough, I saw Nicole open her eyes to meet my gaze, shock enveloped her but then her eyes went dreamy instantly as my husband was still ramming his way through her. "M-miguel... Your wife." She managed to stutter but Miguel wasn't stopping. He made love to her like a wild beast breaking what was left of my heart. " Miguel...." Nicole called again to warn him but he didn't stop. "I can't stop, I'm about ahhh!" He made one last deep thrust into her releasing a deep groan as well. I gasped, panting for air as I couldn't bear the sight any longer. I clutched on the ground hitting my chest as if to stop the pain. It was after Miguel had released inside Nicole did he seem to realize my pr
DIVORCED! MARRIED HIS RIVAL Chapter 1 Racheal Who would have thought that an innocent surprise to my husband would turn into my worst nightmare? It was two days to my wedding anniversary with Miguel Elliot, my husband and highschool sweetheart. We had been in love for seven years and were married for a year now. He was my everything, I trusted him more than I trusted anyone. Even though he had promised to be back before our anniversary, I was too impatient to wait so I decided to visit him in the next town where he had a business meeting. I hoped he liked my surprise. "Mrs Elliot, I'm sorry but you can't go in." Maya, his personal assistant said, I could see the way her hands trembled and the way her entire body fidgeted when she spoke. At first I understood her, she was just doing her job but when she kept on insisting that I couldn't see my husband I became annoyed. "Are you sure you know who I am?" "Of course I do, you're Mrs. Elliot but I'm really sorry. My boss instruc
Epilogue Thea was five months into her pregnancy, and as agreed by her and Angel, they were going to do a gender reveal with the entire family. Decorations had been set up for the day, and they decided to use blue and pink as the general color theme, representing the male and female gender.Angel and Thea weren't the only ones with preferences for their child's sex. While Thea wanted a boy who looked like Angel, Angel wanted a girl who looked like her. Similarly, Camila and Caspian wanted a boy so he could be Casimir's age and play with him, while Cassandra and Knight wanted a girl. Cassie wanted a girl she could twin with in dresses, play with makeup, and do other fun things. Knight wanted the same because they already had a boy, and it would be balanced to have a princess too.Florentine kept her preference to herself; one could say she simply wanted another baby in the mansion, regardless of gender.While Louisa and Scott also wanted a grandkid, it did
The joy Angel and I felt when we got the news of our pregnancy was out of this world. We had decided to shift our honeymoon to three months later, so that we could truly savor each other during that time.Before we left for our honeymoon, we had a general gathering with everyone and announced that we were expecting a baby. We had asked Florentine to keep it a secret until that very moment. The entire house erupted with excitement. I had not expected such an intense reaction from everyone. They instantly started debating what gender they wanted, each with their own personal reasons.I thought surprising everyone was all the surprises I had to give until we went for our honeymoon, but Angel had something for me too.Angel revealed to me his new tech company building. I had no idea he had launched an app that had been running for the past four years. I was so proud of him but had questions."Why did he do drugs if he had all this?" I asked. I also wanted to know if he funded all that thr
TheaI was throwing up for the fourth time since four in the morning. I was exhausted, and it was evident through the bags that formed under my eyes. I hated the way I felt. This had started two days ago, but I hadn't thought much of it, remembering that I'd tasted something my belly rejected the smell of earlier. I still felt irritated by the food and thought it had to be the reason, but after throwing up at night and then four times into the morning, it was getting suspicious.Angel hadn't slept at all last night; he'd been there for me, making sure my situation didn't get worse. He'd tried to convince me to let him call Florentine over, but I wouldn't let him.We even missed breakfast, and Florentine had to check on us that morning. That was when we told her about my symptoms. Florentine twisted her lips trying not to smile, she seemed amused. We knew what she was suspecting, but she wouldn't say and only asked us to drop by at the clinic so she could conduct some tests.The oth
AngelAfter our wedding, Thea and I didn't go to our reception immediately, we had agreed to go see my mum like we did after our engagement. To show her that we were finally married, so we drove over to the hospital from the church. Driving to the hospital, I felt emotional but it wasn't sadness that my mum was vegetative and couldn't be with us in our happiest day, It was gladness that I could proudly tell her that I got my girl. "Let's go see mum." I had told Thea and she excitedly nodded, showing off her ring. Once we got to the hospital, I weaved my hand into Thea's hand and took her to mum's room. We sat before her, placing our hands above hers. "Mum...." I called and felt tears sting my eyes. I tried to laugh it off but it kept spilling. I had never cried this much in a day in my entire life and Thea was mostly the reason. "Go on my love. You can do this. I'm sure mum wants to hear." Thea encouraged me and I nodded finding strength in her support. "Oh God! I wish she was p
AngelThe moment I saw Thea step into the church, my entire world froze, time stopped like it never did before. I could hear myself gasp so clearly, the way my heart raced, I could even swear that I heard the way my blood flowed through my veins. That was how quiet the world around me went so that I could concentrate on what matters, on the one person that mattered the most....Thea. She was otherworldly, she was the prettiest human on earth. No one, I meant absolutely no one could compare, no one could beat her beauty in my eyes. Her soul was the purest and her love was the purest form of love I had experienced in a human. She had come into my life and completely captivated me, without my permission, without holding back at how much love she could make me feel for her. She was the essence in my existence. She was everything to me. I was the luckiest man on earth to have her standing before me, confessing her love to love me despite everything. I was the luckiest to have her be my
