Both men were putting me in a tough situation. I looked at Angel and he had that look that said he needed some worthy explanation. "We should catch up some other time if you don't mind Thea." Alfred's voice came but he was only making things awkward for me. I remained silent not knowing how to respond. Angel takes my hand when he sees that I wasn't saying anything. "I mind, so it's not happening." He said in a harsh tone. I bit the corners of my lips, pinching my dress as well. Angel was a tough one especially when it came to me. He wouldn't play around with his woman.He was possessive. Alfred gave me a hopeful look like he were expecting me to counter Angel. "I'm sorry I can't." I answered. He looked very disappointed but gave me a slight nod. "I'm sure our paths will cross again. I'll find you if I have to." He said and Angel looked pissed off but I held his hand, pleading with my expression for him not to react. He did listen and only passed a mean glare at Alfred who couldn
After returning from school, Cassandra was finally settled at home. She told the girls what happened between Damian and her. The guilt still lingered. He had confessed his feelings to her that night and even accused her of pretending not to know about it. She may have been in the dark for long but she certainly started opening her eyes to the truth when Knight pointed it out and now Damian had finally confessed his feelings to her. It hurt her so much to see Damian hurt. He had been her friend if not her best friend since their freshmen year and the man she loved was coming between them. Damian had asked her to choose between Knight and him but it was not even something to think about. She was just sad to let him know that asides breaking his heart, their friendship was over if that was the option he was giving. She hoped that he'd change his mind but he seemed to be really over with her and stormed out angrily. She didn't want to dwell on her sadness for long so with each passing
Florentine joined even though she was scared of handling a gun. She was eager but the moment Carl walked into the field, her entire being became weak. All sense of excitement died and she was enveloped with a great feeling of shyness. She was stiff trying not to look in his direction but somehow they both caught each others gaze and her heart pounded so loud. Everything was set and Angel was the first to teach Thea before Knight and cassandra joined. Before the practice started, the others had started checking out the guns and fake bullets to be used. Florentine could see the men teaching the ladies how to hold the gun. From time to time she and Carl looked in each other's direction, it got so obvious that they knew they were both checking each other out and the tension grew between them. Florentine was the most tensed. She had been avoiding him ever since that night she brough cookies to him. They did bump into each other several times or caught their gaze but Florentine would hur
"Thea...." Carl called as he approached."Hi carl." Thea greeted, waving curtly at him. "I was coming to see you." He said surprising her. She turns back to look at Florentine who overheard him. "Me? Are you sure?" "Why not?" "Nothing...." She stretches the word. Florentine walks past them but both she and Carl could not resist the urge to look at each other. Thea noticed the affection between them. This was definitely not one sided. Carl turns his gaze back to her and acts uncomfortable knowing she had just caught him watching Florentine. "What is it?" "Uhh.... He laughs nervously making Thea curious."Are you okay?" Thea asked finding his sudden laughter weird. He hesitates before speaking."What did Florentine speak with you about?" "Why do you want you want to know?" Thea said, she wasn't going to let him have it easy. She wanted to get the truth out of him as well. "I think she doesn't feel comfortable around me." He blurts and sighs like a weight had been lifted. "Who k
She hastens her step and moves towards the mansion. Carl was taking his time following her, he didn't want to give the others the wrong Idea. When they got into the mansion he hastened his steps. Florentine wouldn't look back till she got to her room she could feel how close he was. Her heart was beating so fast. She yearned for him but was overwhelmed by the flooding feelings she had for him. Their was a growing heat of desire for him and the same was what carl felt for her. He wasn't going to let her push him away like other times or avoid him. He didn't know what he was going to say exactly but he just missed her and wanted to see her. "Florentine." Carl called and she stopped in her flight. The tip of her fingers felt cold. Her breath raced.Keeping her desires in was getting too difficult. Carl was stealing her breath, she was almost gasping for air now."Why are you following me?" She asked without turning back. "I don't even know." He said walking towards her slowly. She t
Camila had formed the habit of staying late in bed. Caspian would usually let her sleep and wake her up to take a shower so that they could go for breakfast but today he decided they'd skip dinning with the rest and just eat together. She was still deep in sleep and he was starving already. He watched her while she slept, she seemed to be enjoying her sleep very much these days and he couldn't help but notice how beautifully she slept. The ray of the sunlight seeping through their curtain had made her face a stunning colour of fair gold. Her eyes fluttered, disturbed by the light so he went ahead to draw the thicker curtain close so that the room looked a little dim. He climbed the bed, spreading his legs apart so that her legs were enclosed within his then he leaned down to her body, carresing her belly through her nightwear. He began pulling her dress up and she stiffened feeling his touches in her sleep. He slid her dress up her thigh, then up to her belly were she was naked for
Thea It was a silent ride to the hospital and I could tell how close we were at each point because Angel's countenance kept losing it's spark gradually untill we finally got to the hospital building. Angel remained silent and I could see just how much pain he was in. I wondered if he always got like this when he came here. Knowing the story behind his mother's condition broke my heart to a thousand pieces. It was only imaginable what he was feeling everytime she crossed his mind. I stared for a moment then reached out for his hand. I touched it and rubbed it soothingly. Angel looked at me and forced a smile. "We should go now." He said. I nodded, smiling back at him. I hoped my presence will be helpful to him today. We stepped out of the car but he wasn't moving as he just stood on his side of it with his head dipped. I waited for him but then decided to go to him. "Angel." I called as my heart broke for him the moment I saw tears line his face. "I hate my father." He blurted a
"Mum...." He began. I know you always wanted me to find true love and I said I'd never find one." He dips his head and chuckles. I thought I wasn't capable of such feelings mum but I was wrong." I tuck in my lips trying to supress the tears that stung my eyes from flowing. "I found someone mum...." He said looking at me with so much passion in his eyes."... Or should I say, the universe brought someone to me and now I can't breath the thought of living without her." He continued, speaking the lines to me. I nodded encouraging him to go ahead. He returned his gaze back to his mum and continued. "She's my step-sister mum and it might not be a conventional relationship but I love Thea more than I can speak of...." He pauses for a moment as his breath gets heavy. "She's my life mum and I hope that someday you'll wake up and give us your blessings." He let out a sigh and tears up without restrain. I begin to tear up as well and rub my hands over his shoulder. "I love you so much mum and
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
