TheaWhen Angel arrived, he hastily came to Cassandra"s side. I knew he would come after Carl had informed him of Cassandra's condition. Angel trailed his eyes over my body and it felt as though he was going to ask if I was okay but then he didn't. That didn't matter at all to me, my priority was Cassie."What happened?" Angel asked, he was so unnerved by the way Cassandra was wasted. "I don't know you should ask her once she's okay." I replied deciding to hide the truth for that night. I wanted to give Cassandra the opportunity to do it. Even if she didn't, I would take it upon myself to tell Angel. With those text messages, Damian couldn't be ignored. We didn't hesitate any further as Angel carried cassandra to the car. I wanted to make sure she was fine so I followed as well. That way I could also see the rest. Deep down, I also wanted to be around Angel too. We arrived at the mansion and as expected the rest were worried as to what could have gotten her to drink to stupor. I w
TheaMy mum had come later to apologize for raising her hand at me but she was still very much annoyed with me. Alfred was long gone after she somehow convinced him to let me be for the night. As much as I felt sorry for Alfred and guilty for giving him a spark of hope initially, I didn't like the way he was taking this matter. My mother's support seemed to give him that entitlement edge over me. I felt tighed down, confused on how to handle the situation I was in. Alfred didn't seem like he was ready to let me go by just a rejection. He was willing to keep fighting. I was afraid of the future outcome. I laid beneath the cover to sleep when I received a phone call. I had checked to see who it was and it was Alfred. I let out a sigh and ignored his calls then it stopped coming. I tried to sleep but it evaded me. I was so restless. I picked up my phone when I heard a text notification. Alfred must have been tired of calling and decided to text. To my surprise, the text I had recei
TheaI tried, I tried so hard to get myself to resist. My body, mind and soul was too weak to resist. I make an attempt to wriggle away from his hold but he pressed his fingers to my waist holding me more firmly and pulling me closer such that I could feel his breath upon my skin. "Just stay still." Angel whispered. His body had stiffened and his hands trembled around me. I could see the effect I had on him too.Something electrifying was happening between us. It was too strong to resist. "Just stay still for for some seconds at least." He pleaded. His tone screamed desperation. I melted into his arms finding it torturing to resist what I was feeling now. His tight grip around me releases a little after I submitted to him. We both let out a sigh of relieve at the same time.I couldn't look at Angel, I didn't want him to lure me further. Angel raises his hand to my face. Slowly and gently, he lets the back of his fingers caress my cheek. He lowers his hand to my chin and lifts m
TheaThe day of Alfred's party had finally come. He was always on my mind but not for the reasons he'd like. It was because I always thought of how I'd give him another rejection without hurting him. That was impossible, insane to even think that there was even a way to go about it. On the other hand, Angel had been on my mind for the reasons he'd like but will totally infuriate my mum. After our last encounter, I knew he was still for me. I always knew but the story about him being closer with Lola got me angry and set the ground for doubt but then he was actually waiting for me. It was a confusing contrast being happy whenever I thought about Angel and feeling unhappy because the guilt I felt from it was torturing. I looked at myself in the mirror after I had gotten dressed and ready for the party. There was nothing exciting about tonight instead I felt very nervous. I was a day closer to rejecting Alfred for a second time. "This necklace is beautiful." Louisa, my mum said tak
Thea Alfred comes to stand beside me while my mum looked apologetic like I had been the reason Angel was here. Alfred questioned with the look in his eyes and I shook my head as if to tell him I had nothing to do with it. I was tensed as to what this whole appearance could mean but my jealousy overshadowed my need to know Angel's true intentions for being in this party.Alfred wanted to move towards Angel angrily but my mum stopped him."Only those you gave an invitation could come right?" She asked. Shock was still written over her face wondering how this was possible. "Yes, so how did he get in?" Alfred was even more confused. How did the guards let Angel in when it was strictly on invite. Did he ....I didn't want to believe the images that came into my mind. There was only one other way Angel could have done it without being legal and that was through violence. My heart skipped in fear and I only hoped that wasn't the case. "He can't possibly breach your security." My mum said
TheaAngel and Lola sat at the same table while my mum, Alfred and I sat together. Our table wasn't far from theirs as Alfred had made arrangements to make his two biggest investors sit close to us. If only he knew it would backfire. So many thoughts went through my mind and I could only imagine Alfred's thought process. The tension around the table was severe and it made me really uncomfortable. I looked up to find my mum watching me. She seemed really tensed and her glare didn't do any good to ease my tension. Alfred's legs didn't rest. He looked the most restless, tapping his feet continuously. His gaze fell on me and I avoided it. "Did you know he was coming?" Alfred finally asked unable to hold back the words he desperately wanted to say."Alfred now isn't the time....""Did you know!" He startled me with his tone as he spoke harshly and through gritted teeth. I was a bit surprised by his temper. He seemed to be losing control. Alfred was always calm and composed but ever si
TheaWe had seperated to dance. Alfred and I took our spot on the dance floor while Angel and Lola took theirs. They were behind us and I was given the grace to steal glances at them since Alfred was the one with his back against them. Alfred's eyes never left me yet I couldn't respect him enough not to steal those awkward glances from Angel and Lola. Angel had his arms around Lola's waist while she placed hers on his chest as he led the dance. They looked at each other intensly as they danced and my heart burned with jealousy. It made me lose focus and step on Alfred several times. It turned into an awkward series of apology each time I stepped on him. Alfred had been saying something but my thoughts were far off him that I didn't grab a thing untill he called my name. "Thea!" He called, raising his voice slightly. I startled and withdrew my eyes from Angel to look at him. My face fell knowing that he was aware of what was happening. "I-I em... I'm sorry, I didn't really get y
AngelI never thought it was possible to stay away from Thea that long but it ended up being my reality. For the first three months I went crazy in her absence. It left a void in me that nothing could fill up. She was indeed alive but the pain that engulfed me felt like she was gone forever. I fell back into drinking but realized that it wasn't the solution. I was heartbroken yet I kept thinking that wasn't what Thea wanted from me. I decided not to give up on her, many times I thought of going the violent way believing that her mother had forced her into leaving me. There was no way she could change her mind so quickly. I had wondered in sleepless nights what Louisa could have told Thea to make her change her mind. Scott on the other hand had offered to help. We weren't on bad terms neither were we on good terms. It was his own way of bribing me and getting close. I let him, I'd do nearly the impossible just to hear Thea's voice but she didn't feel the same way. She had ignored m
By the end of their visit, Thea was getting ready to tell her mum her final decision. Louisa didn't still approve of her relationship with Angel. Although she was eternally grateful to him for saving her daughter's life. Thea had called her mum to speak to her alone. Louisa had an idea why Thea had called to speak with her. She only hoped the outcome was in her favour. "You're staying right?" She asked, too impatient to allow Thea speak first. Thea stared at her mum feeling speechless for some seconds. "Thea?" She called. "We'll be together. I promise you'll never have to go through what you've gone through my baby girl. I promise." She said desperately, hoping that would move Thea to stay with her at least. Thea felt sad knowing that it would take more time for mum to adjust to the fact that she was choosing Angel over her. "I know you'd do everything within your power to make sure of that but I'm sorry to break your heart mum." She said feeling very bad for what she was about to
The next morning, I snuck out of Angel's room to head back to my room. It was funny that I had to sneak since Angel and I were full grown adults but the circumstances didn't permit us to act like one. As I walked carefully, darting my eyes around for my mum so she didn't see me, I got startled when I saw her coming in my direction. I run into the kitchen to avoid hoping she wasn't coming this way too but I get startled again when I see Scott. Scott looks at me suspiciously and I try to act normal. "Hey.... Scott." I called hoping my voice didn't sound nervous. "How was your night?" He asked holding a glass of water in his hand. "Great!" I said and he nodded but didn't look convinced at the unbothered act I was putting up now. "I see...." He said then gulped down the glass of water. "I came for some milk." I said moving towards the fridge. Even the silence felt awkward. "Over there." He points showing me a carton of it. There was none in the fridge. "Have you seen Angel this mo
Angel pulled the phone from his ear and I did the same too. He chuckled as he watched the full length of my body. "I fucking missed you." He said as he eyed me seductively. "Come here." He said huskily and a shy yet excited smile lengthened my lips. I quickly glanced around and excitedly jumped into his arms. Angel grabbed my legs pulling my body up to his waist while I wrapped my arms around his neck. He shut the door behind us then dug his fingers into my hair, pulling my face to his. His lips brushed against mine and my pussy instantly flooded with horny fluids. Angel held my weight up his waist with one hand and began to kiss me so hungrily. There was no breathing space and I didn't even want to breath if it meant that his lips had to be apart from mine for even a second. I dug my fingers into his hair as well kissing him back with the same hunger he used to devour my lips. Angel takes our kiss to the bed, he places me gently on it. My nightwear hikes to my waist, exposing my
Thea Now that everything was settling in, it was time to visit my mum. I knew she had been waiting for my return. In the meantime, I heard a beautiful time at the mansion, staying with my girls, the men and most importantly Angel. I was really glad that everything had been settled, our enemies defeated. It felt like a huge burden had been lifted from our shoulders. For the first time, it didn't feel like we were on the edge, it felt really relaxing and joyful. The life we had now was what we had always fought to achieve. To see it become a reality was a dream come true. At the mansion, while we were getting ready to leave, Angel and I were already dressed and he was sitting across me on a stool, holding my hands. It felt so emotional knowing that we had nothing to worry about. Except that there was one thing I haden't been honest with him about. It was about Scott. Our relationship was having a fresh start and I didn't want to build it in secrecy. I wanted to be completely open
I felt terribly sorry for Lola for losing her father in such a horrible way. She had gotten her revenge on Sparrow but even that wasn't enough to make up for the pain he had caused her. Angel and I had attended her father's funeral, she was such a strong woman and I hoped she found her happily ever after someday. She was a good person and deserved it. Alfred on the other hand had decided to leave the city. He couldn't bear the heartbreak of losing me. I had learnt that he returned his business headquarter where he came from. I was glad too. I hoped he found a real purpose to his life and became a better person. I was glad that his wife was also happily married to a man that deserved her and had two kids with him. He was rich just like Alfred. I had made it my business to see her and ask for forgiveness. She was quite understanding holding no grudge against me."Alfred would have cheated on me with another stripper even if you weren't in the picture." She said asking me to rid mys
Sparrow wished he could smile but his lips were ruined. "Boss we've come to save you. We are sorry we came late." One of the men who held Lola said and sparrow was more than happy. Whoever it was, he owed the person his life. They untie him and carry him out of the cell. He kicks Lola despite his physical pain and he hums that they should beat her up. They couldn't understand him despite his hand gestures so they brought a pen and paper and asked him to write. He wrote down 'beat the hell out of the bitch don't kill her, I'll do that in a more creative way.' he wrote and handed it to them but the moment he handed it to them, something occured to him and he turned around to look at the men escorting him. How did they know that he couldn't speak and bring a pen and paper for him? He dropped both pen and paper realizing it was a scam. One of the men looked at the pen and paper on the floor then he smiled mischievously. Lola walks through them, a smile on her face then she began to l
Trigger warning: This is a torture scene. Lola takes revenge on sparrow. You can skip this chapter if you are not cut out for it. Lola had sent her father off, the pain she had experienced was undescribable. She never thought such heart wrenching pain could exist. Her heart was bleeding. She didn't think she could ever get over losing her father but she could do something about the anger and hate she felt inside. Angel and Thea as well as the mafia council, and Don's of various cartels were in attendance to show their support to her. After the funeral, she took some days off to soak up her tears then she returned to take her revenge on the person who made her life miserable. Sparrow had been caged in one of Don Ricardo's properties deep in the woods and Isolated. It was the slaughter house for her predecessors.They only used it rarely for people who committed great crimes against them. She never thought she'd have to use it but here she was. She had given the order for Sparrow
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
