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
It had been eight months of habouring so much hatred and anger. Sparrow couldn't wait for the day he recovered and executed his plans. He had been lucky that Ricardo had his men rescue him before Angel could finish him off that night. He had three months of intense care. He was treated secretly yet attended to by the best doctors in the state. His father had figured out that Lola had betrayed him after Sparrow had brought up the suggestion some nights before he shipped Angel's goods. Don Ricardo didn't want to have any reason to doubt Lola but sparrow's life was on the line and it was worth doubting Lola. He had felt heartbroken and it almost cost Sparrow's life. A good thing that he was able to save his son. Otherwise, he would never have forgiven himself or Lola and he would be at war with Angel now. He had made sure that Sparrow had everything he needed and had gifted him the mansion he currently held Thea in as a gift for surviving. He also equipped him with more men for his
TheaAt the mansion everyone is tensed, worried and in pain at the possibilities of what might have happened to Thea. Mike comes in and Knight does shortly. Everyone impatiently moves to them. "Nothing Angel...." Knight says and Mike bends his head in regret. Angel was only trying to be courageous but he was failing woefully. He sat by the chair rubbing his face in frustration. His entire world was turning upside down. "What if ...." Angel started. "Could it be Sparrow?" "If it were indeed him, shouldn't Lola have known something about it?" Caspian asked. He was making a lot of sense on that. "We should call her. We need her help." Knight suggested. "I'm doing that right away." Florentine said and began dialing her number but then Angel's phone rang. The number had no name, he hesitated before picking it up. Everyone was silent hanging on to hope. Maybe it was Thea calling to say she had changed location. "Hello...." Angel called when he heard no voice. "Thea?" He called agai
Sparrow was able to bring Angel and Lola in the same room. They had succeeded in taking the bait. Thea for Angel and Ricardo for Lola. There was little time for any of them to prepare to go against sparrow who had hatched this plan for eight months. It seemed like a wrong idea but they were helpless. The lives of the people they loved were on the line. Sparrow had asked Lola to come with the document for the transfer of ownership of Ricardo's cartel. That was how it was done. To get a new owner for a cartel except in the cases of death, the presiding Don was to sign the document issuing the transfer to his heir and the rest of it's due process followed. Angel had done as Sparrow wanted, he wasn't going to involve the police. He was willing to lay his life down for Thea even though she pleaded with him not to come. Now they were all in a room, big enough to contain their number twice. Sparrow and his men stood on the other end of it while Angel, Lola and her men stood opposite the
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
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
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
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
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
