TheaI quickly stood up and wiped off my tears to see who it was. An old woman came through the door and I patted my face to look less teary. I faked a smile as I began moving towards the woman. She was Maryanne, Alfred's grandmother. "Maryanne...." I said excitedly as I walked to hug the woman."Thea... My child." She called, observing me from the distance. We hugged each other and only pulled away when we were both satisfied with the hug. Maryanne held my arms as she watched me joyfully. "I had no idea that you were here. Where's my grandson?" She asked looking over my shoulder. "He left not long ago but I'm sure he'll be down in a moment." "Thank you Thea." She said as I helped her with her belongings.Alfred's Nana always let Alfred know before she visited him but I didn't think she did so this time. Alfred wouldn't have let her come for fear that I might expose him for keeping me against my will. "Where are these girls, they should be doing this. Lauren!" She yelled, callin
Angel's povTHREE DAYS AGOI went to Thea's house the next morning to know how she was faring. She haden't been picking her calls nor replying her texts. At a point she switched off her phone. I didn't want to call Scott but I decided to let down my pride and do it but my emotions were messed up the moment he told me she slept at Alfred's place. I got angry and extremely jealous. We made love last night, so how could she follow Alfred to his house and sleep over...."Are you still there?" Scott asked but I couldn't answer, as my anger got the best of me. "I know you're angry Angel but it seemed Louisa put her up to it." Something stirred in me the moment he said that and my interest grew twice more. "What do you mean?" I asked getting impatiently. "Thea has never slept at Alfred's place before. To be honest with you, I find it suspicious." I became suspicious and worried as well. I definitely did not trust Louisa not after what she had done to keep Thea away from me. I should hav
AngelI didn't have the luxury of time to get back at Alfred for kidnapping me. The look of shock in his face when he'd see me was enough. My priority was Thea. I didn't wait one more second after I heard the news of Thea's abduction, I came to my father's house to get Louisa to stop her madness. She was letting Alfred take it too far and I wasn't going home without Thea today unless their was something bigger, something I dared not to think but couldn't help myself from thinking. It was Alfred or maybe someone else but my mind didn't want to consider the possibility. That would be a nightmare. "Angel what is wrong with you?" Louisa yelled the moment I pounced over Alfred seeing him there. I couldn't hold myself back. The guards had rushed towards me dragging me away from Alfred before I could deall more punches to his face. He was bleeding already. Louisa had offered him a handkerchief and ordered for a doctor to be called over to check on him but Alfred declined the offer. Ju
Thea I wake up finding myself in a strange room, the last I remembered, I was in my hotel room and I opened the door thinking it was Knight or Caspian who had come to take me to the mansion but then it was someone totally unrecognizable. The realization that I had just been abducted hit me instantly and panic filled me. I gasped in fear and began panting as fear took over me. Who could have done this? Alfred was the first and only person that came to my mind. How could he do this to me? This was kidnapping and this was a crime. The fact that my mum had enabled him to do this just because she wanted to keep me away from Angel made me sick. ... But this place looked different, I knew there were many rooms in Alfred's house but the design here didn't go with what I saw mostly at his place. Did he bring me somewhere else? Maybe another property of his. He was rich enough to have multiple houses in the same state so that shouldn't come off as a surprise. The window.... Of co
Thea I wasn't over the shock of what had happened earlier. Sparrow, Natalia.... How? After all these months of not hearing anything about them or seeing any hints that they were still alive, we all assumed that Sparrow was dead but it turned out to be that he and Natalie had been hiding all these while. Rebuilding their forces and getting stronger to launch their huge plan. I was at the center of it of course but Angel's life worried me the most. He had no clue that sparrow was still alive and could fall into his trap easily. Oh goodness! Was sparrow going to use me to get to Angel? What was I supposed to do now? I should have followed Angel that night and not go with Alfred. I shouldn't have escaped from Alfred's place either. Now I was getting everyone in trouble. Sparrow certainly didn't come back with a weak plan. It scared me.... It scared the life out of me. In this situation, I was so helpless, I wanted to warn Angel somehow but it was impossible. I sat back on
Thea"Sparrow...." Natalia called in fear. He looks at her not having an ounce of concern. Instead, he looked pissed off."After I warned you Natalia." He said stepping into the room after shutting the door. "I'm the one bleeding can't you see? She attacked me." Natalia defended. "But you attacked first. I have a camera in this room don't you forget that. I could easily know who started a fight." He said and her mouth shut instantly. Sparrow came closer to me, his eyes searching my body as he did. "Are you hurt?" He asked, concern filling up his expression. "What?" Natalia yelled, scrambling to stand to her feet. " I told you I'm the one who's hurt. Can't you see that I'm bleeding?""Shhh.... " Sparrow said, a finger almost placed to his lips asking her to shut her mouth. His eyes never left mine and I could see how much that pissed off Natalia. After what seemed like forever, Sparrow was finally done with his search on my body. He then turned towards Natalia. "You're lucky she's
TheaHe had told me to wear something decent like he had any decent outfit picked out for me. I endured that night having dinner with sparrow. I could see how deep his lust was, they way he sizes me up, I could see through the thoughts running in his mind. A good thing that he was being patient because I couldn't imagine being touched by him. The thought alone made bile rise up my throat. My thoughts wandered to Angel and my mum. I had wondered how scared they'd be when they found out that I was missing. Alfred must have broken the news to my mum and by the time Knight came to get me, he would have figured that already. The days went by excruciatingly slow here. Each day was an endurance session and each day I couldn't help but blame myself for everything that had happened. If only I didn't listen to Sparrow then at that party, if only I had followed Angel back to the mansion the night of the attack. All these complications may not have risen. Undeniable that my relationship with
TheaAt the upper floor of the building with a view down the compound. I sat across sparrow before a nicely prepared meal. How could he casually order lunch after what he did to Manuel? I tried to understand his thinking but then I had thought Angel might have done something like this. At least in the past. I stared at the food but kept remembering how sparrow dealt with Manuel. I had no appetite, instead, I tried as much to contain my disgust. Sparrow starts eating but I don't and wished he wouldn't notice.He glanced at me as if expecting me to start eating but I was defiant. "Eat." He finally said. "I'm not hungry." I replied pushing the food away from me. "Oh you will be.... When I starve you for a week." His smile was pure evil. I knew he was capable of that. " Now eat." He commanded. I watched the food and started preparing mentally on how to eat it then I took my first dig. It was meat. "Do you even know what part that is?" Sparrow said, amusement showing on his face. "W
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
