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
Thea I looked forward to going to Angel's ranch everyday and finally we were here. The environment was quiet and brought a sense of peace with it. Few families lived in this side compared to the city. I wasn't a country side girl and had never been to one before. This was my very first time and it didn't let down the expectations I had for it. We passed through some farms and saw some locals along the road. They stared at us like they rarely saw people from the city or was it our fancy car that they admired? This place was quite different, almost adventurous. I looked through the window smiling as I enjoyed the sight. Some little girls waved at me and I waved back. Their smile was beautiful. Everyone here seemed to have a very simple life. "Do you like it that much?" Angel said and I tilted to catch a glimpse of him before returning my gaze back to the road."It feels peaceful." I said and knew he was smiling even without seeing him. "Indeed. Enough to forget my existence the m
We finally got down for dinner. Everyone was seated already and we joined them. At first, I was nervous about the kind of thing we'd talk about during dinner. They'd like to ask about me right? Did they know how I got to live with Angel? How I even became his girlfriend? I was really nervous but to my surprise they questions were far from it. I had the feeling that Raymond knew some things maybe more than his wife Lea but they were all nice to me especially with their questions. They spoke about Angel as a kid and his experiences whenever he came there and I could see that his life was beautiful when he visited the ranch. I was happy that he had here as a place to escape his harsh reality. While I was lost in admiration of Angle, I felt his hand touch mine below the table. He looked at me and our eyes spoke unsaid words between us. We smiled and joined the conversation again not until Jack who proved that kids were indeed curious beings blurt a question no one expected him to. "So w
TheaThe next day, Raymond took Angel and I to the ranch where we met the stable steward but to my surprise it was the man from yesterday, the one scolding that teenage girl. He greeted us looking quite excited. He sounded really nice and his countenance warm. I could hardly believe that this was the man yelling at the girl yesterday. Could I have been mistaken? Could have been someone who looked like him? I was still in doubt untill someone came into the stable proving me right. It was the girl, in her school uniform. She seemed to have just returned from school. "Good day papa. Good day...." She greeted, holding her school bag. We all turned to look at her and she looked a bit scared avoiding our gazes. I looked at Sam, the table steward, he looked like he was struggling between feeling annoyed or playing pretend. He chose the later. "Selene, you're back." he said smiling. She didn't return his smile and startled as he moved closer to her. "What are you doing here, you should b
TheaI told Angel about what selene had told me, he wanted to return back but I stopped him knowing he was going to be brutal about it. Sam still had a little work for the day so he wouldn't be home at least untill night to do anything about it. I advised him to speak to Ray about it. We needed to be careful. Once we got home we were surprised to see the place bubbling more than normal. "What are they celebrating?" I asked since Ray didn't inform us about any of this. Angel was surprised as well. We were made to know that Ray was organizing a celebration for us since we were to leave the next day. The party became full blown at night with lots to drink and eat. I was introduced to the workers and everyone under the house payroll. The welcome was massive. I really enjoyed my short stay here. While I was having a drink and talking with Lea, I suddenly sighted someone from the corner. It was selene and my jaw dropped. How did I forget about them? My goodness! I cursed myself within
AngelBoth Thea and I had gotten too immersed in the party Raymond threw for us. I had forgotten to speak with him about Sam and Thea might have been the only one who remembered later but she had gone there without me, driving me insane with that call. Without wasting any time I hurried to get my car key. When Raymond, my uncle saw me, he stopped me asking where I was headed. "Angel!" He called after me. " Where are you going in such a hurry?" "I don't have time uncle. Thea is in trouble." I said and left him but Raymond followed. "Where are you going? Do you need back up?" He said hastily. "To the stewards place. Get in, I'll tell you you about it on our way." Raymond got into the car and I sped up. He tried to make me calm down but this was Thea we were talking about and she sounded so scared over the phone. Sam knew better than to touch her but then he could be a psycho. I told Raymond what Thea noticed and what had transpired earlier. He seemed shocked pointing out that Sam
Angel's men as well as Lola's men had searched every part of the house to make sure there wasn't anyone hidden or any dirty business in one corner of the mansion but Sparrow didn't come short of expectations. He had some men locked down.They were Manuel's men. Angel and Knight had taken Thea home. Knight had spoken with Cassandra since the chaos was over. She was worried sick about the situation snd when she was told the goodnews she was so excited. The rest didn't hold back.Camila and Florentine wanted to hear Thea's voice to be certain that Knight wasn't lying. The gasp of relieve and tears over the phone just said how heartbroken and worried they had been about the situation. Thea's mum had been informed of Thea's rescue also, so she hurried to the mansion. Alfred and scott went along with her too. When they finally arived the compound, everyone was outside. Cassandra was the first to run into into Angel's arms, Camila and Florentine had gone to hug Thea, Camila's hug was prol
As Natalia fired shots at the wall and ground, the sparks ignited the nearby fuel canister. The fuel spilled onto the old, dry wood, and the fire spread quickly. The temperature in the room increased, causing the smoke to become thick and black.Angel and Thea panicked, covering their mouths to avoid inhaling the toxic fumes. "We need to leave here, or we'll burn!" Angel yelled.Natalia, realizing her mistake, hastily tried to find an escape. But the fire had already blocked the entrance, and the old wooden structure was beginning to collapse. The sound of cracking wood and falling fragments filled the air."We need to leave here or we'll burn." Angel said holding Thea's hand."There's no way out." She panicked, scared to go through the fire. Angel had to get her to calm down so he cupped her face in his palms. "Now isn't the time for talking my love. I believe we'll make it out. Just trust me. You have to be fast." He said and even though Thea was scared, she knew Angel would do ev
TheaI held my breath at the countdown. This had to be the scariest moment of my life. I didn't know what to expect, how being blown up would feel. Would I feel the pain or would it happen so quickly that I wouldn't feel a thing? I guess it was painless because everything here was silent. Maybe it was peaceful on the otherside.... But then a gasp echoed and I heard Angel's voice sobbing, his hands hugging my legs. It felt so real. "Open your eyes...." His voice was as real as ever. I heard the sound of air in the room, almost like my senses were heightened. The smell of fuel returned to my nostrils.Slowly, I opened my eyes to see Angel, his eyes filled with tears, his entire expression showing relieve. I let out a sharp sigh as I took in the picture of my sorrounding. My breath got deeper and my heart constricted. I began to tear up. I looked at Angel, I wanted to touch him, my hands were still tied to the chair but just seeing him was everything to me. "Angel...." I cried as te
As Angel ran to the cell where Natalia had left Thea, he noticed that Rico left him. Son of a bitch heard there was little time left and decided to save himself instead.By the time Angel arrived, Thea was sweating heavily and tearing up bitterly. His heart breaks even more seeing her condition and hearing the beeping sound of the bomb. Everything became more real. It was now a fact that if he didn't work fast he'd be losing the most important person in his life. "Thea!" He yelled wasting no time to run to her. Thea remained frozen for some seconds, wondering if he was real. Her chest began rising and falling heavily realizing he was real. Angel had come to save her. "A-Angel" She cries out his name, a wave of relieve washing through her. "Thea...." He muttered and his eyes quickly studied the bomb. He noticed that someone had already began the work and putting two things together it had to be the man that gave him the direction. "Angel there isn't much time left." She cried, tr
After Angel and Rico had seen the footage of where Natalia had taken Thea to, they immediately went to her rescue. Rico led the way as he knew the place better than Angel. On the other hand, Natalia was hurrying out of the place looking behind her with each corner she took knowing that the guard she had left behind would be running aftet her. She was going to shut the metal gate so that when he got to the entrance, he wouldn't have an escape. While she ran, the sound of hasty footsteps caught her attention and she gradually came to a halt from her flight. Her soul almost left her seeing Angel and the head security. At first, she was relieved to see that Angel was alive but soon shock enveloped her and she became confused to see the head security with Angel. They were not even close to knowing each other, so why were they together? Angel and Rico also came to a halt seeing Natalia. In that moment, Angel felt like his entire world had been turned upside down seeing the gun in Natal
My tears were unstoppable, I felt great pity for myself and I had never felt so scared in my life. With everything I had been through, I didn't deserve to die like this. I wanted to live and I wanted to be happy. I had lived my life pleasing others, If I could get one more chance to live, I would put myself first. I would spend the rest of my life with Angel and I wouldn't care about other people's opinion. Please... Just one more chance. I prayed while sobbing profusely as the clock kept ticking. I worried about Angel, he'd be so heartbroken if anything happened to me. He risked his life to save me today and he couldn't even be with me in my last moments. Then my mum, I knew she'd never forgive herself should I lose my life. Nothing would console her once I was gone.A lot of people would be hurt. This wasn't supposed to happen. I kept shedding tears, crying aloud like a kid. I grieved myself even before I blew up. I wanted to live, I really wanted to live. "I don't want to
TheaI didn't trust Natalia for even a second, when she made the proposal to Sparrow to take me to his safe room, I knew something had to be wrong but then, Sparrow trusted her. Choosing between her and sparrow was like choosing between two evil. I would have protested against going with her but staying with Sparrow and such number of guards wasn't a risk I wanted to take. If someone was to rescue me, it would be easier with Natalia but then Natalia hated me. Sparrow would only kill me by error but Natalia would do that in a heartbeat if she wanted to. It was a confusing situation and my fears were starting to become a reality. "Natalia where are you taking me to?" I asked, fear gripping my entire being when we started going a long pathway that looked abandoned. What kind of safe was this? It looked like where someone would never be found. Natalia had kept silent while the guard that came with us kept dragging me into the place. The stench of this place was terrible, I didn't t
After the phone call with Sparrow at the mansion that day, Angel assigned duties to his men, and they immediately sprang into action. They successfully tracked down the location where the video was sent from, but they were unable to trace the phone call. One crucial detail they discovered was that the location was near a gun company.The men made inquiries at the gun company to determine who had recently purchased guns. The records showed that the guns were bought under Don Ricardo's name, which raised suspicions. Angel wondered if this was why Lola hadn't been answering her calls. He wouldn't blame her if she chose not to betray her father again but he couldn't understand how Don Ricardo could be involved in this.The next day, Lola contacted Angel and arrived at the mansion. To Angel's surprise, Don Ricardo had not bought the guns. Sparrow had used his name, and what shocked Angel the most was that Sparrow had kidnapped his own father. Lola told Angel that it seemed her father had b
Thea is dragged in by Sparrow's men and the moment she sees Angel, she gasps in fear. Tears well up in her eyes and she soon tears start streaming down her face."Thea." Angel called, impulsively going to her but he is stopped from going closer."Angel!" She yells when Sparrow's men begin to kick him in the belly. Sparrow just relaxes back on his seat enjoying the sight. Thea struggles to get to Angel unable to hold back the pain she felt from seeing him hurt. He groaned in pain from the several kicks that came at him but that didn't matter to him. He just hated seeing Thea cry so bitterly for him. He kept his gaze locked on her while they beat him up.She was his strength. "I told you not to come so why?" She cried once they left him. He was willing to lay his life down to secure her freedom and she was willing to be Sparrow's play thing and live with him for the rest of her life as long as it kept Angel alive. To her, her freedom wasn't worth his life. A scream erupts from her t
