KnightI felt hurt with what Cassie did at breakfast today. In fact she had tried to diss me one way or the other since she arrived. I wanted to talk to her, I really wanted to resolve things. If only she knew how much I missed her.Seeing that the men were hanging around even after breakfast, I seized the opportunity to be close to Cassie, even though it involved just staring at her from a distance. She was fucking gorgeous and had grown into a woman in just one year. Curves at the right places, the right amount of skin coating her features, she looked more matured than the teenage girl I had known. My feelings didn't change either it only increased.Seeing Angel and Thea leave, I felt relieved hoping that Caspian would take Camilo along with him and hopefully Cassie would be the last one clearing the place but I was disappointed when she took permission from Florentine to leave. She made the excuse that she wasn't feeling too well but I knew that was a lie. She just couldn't stand m
CassieI fell to my knees broken, completely shattered, torn to my ribs watching Knight leave. If there was anything, I had earnestly hoped he'd give me a chance. I didn't want to be desperate for love but I was so deep in love with him and right now every wall of defense I built to make myself think I had moved on from him was completely destroyed. My heart ached and desperately yearned for him. I was soaking in my tears, clenching my chest at the very painful sting in my heart. I always had a crush on Knight ever since I turned thirteen but over the years it grew into something so strong till I couldn't deny it. He used to be my person, my second brother and friend but then I grew clingy and he noticed and kept his distance. I was a desperate lover and I did everything within my power to make him like me or look at me but he never saw me as a woman not then not even now and it hurt like hell. I wiped my tears not wishing to dwell in self pity. He'll always be a part of my life an
TheaSeveral days had gone by, the girls and I got to bond better each passing day. Cassie was getting more comfortable with us and she was a sweetheart to have around. It became clearer that she had something for Knight. Camilo and I gossiped about it sometimes while Florentine avoided the topic each time we brought it up. She definitely knew something about it. Angel, he was my the main source of my happiness these days and I could feel I was his as well. He made me feel loved, he was a different man...I mean not totally changed but he was showing a side of him that others probably didn't knew existed to me. I felt special. "Let me tag along please...." Cassie's persuasive voice took me out of my lane of thought. I quickly adjusted my face after realizing that I had been smiling widely at my thoughts. I wanted to laugh at myself but I held it together. "Thea, please talk to him." Cassie said holding my hand. I was left wordless that she was asking. Why would she think that Angel w
TheaI sat beside Angel at the backseat of the car, there was tension in the air and my hunch told me he was waiting to do something. We hit the road soon enough and as the minutes went by I began feeling suffocated.I could feel Angel's burning gaze on me but I dared not look back. My lips felt slightly shaky as I parted them to take in some air. My heart paced at distorted rythm as a result of the desires building in me.Gosh! I loved this man and he was too hot to handle most of the time. I saw him relax back on his seat tearing his gaze away from me and a heavy sigh of relieve left my mouth but then my eyes shot open suddenly, I froze and my skin blazed with sensations rippling into my very core. His hand was on my thigh, I turned my head in his direction to look at him and a rather coy smile lengthened his lips, his gaze soon swayed into seriousness and I felt a slight shiver tickle my spine as his fingers trailed it's way beneath my dress. I returned focus to road but I could
Thea The red dress it was, my bare neck adorned with a fine diamond necklace, the perfect shades to my face, I must confess Cassie was a brilliant make up artist. My heels clicked as I walked side to side with Angel through the hall. Arms in arms, a racing breath, a brave smile to my lips and a sinfully handsome man as my date.I had imagined this day countless times in my head, meeting Lola, running into Sparrow and a number of new faces sorrounded by dangerous aura's. It was a bit overwhelming now being here in present. The party hosted by Don Ricardo and here I was presumably his daughters rival for a man's attention tonight.Bright lights illuminated the vast hall, the smell of rich cologne filled the air making me understand what Calibre of people I was in their midst. Not very new but definitely different because they were all members of the mafia."Angel!" We both turned towards the direction of the caller, I knew him, this man was Don Antonio from the night at the Casino. H
AngelWe were ushered into an underground room, where the meeting was to take place. Guards sorrounded the place securring it.It was our annual meeting, where we got to discuss the peace, alliance and progress of the mafia community. This ensured there was no displacement of the mafia in the area we resided. This union strengthened us against the government and made it possible for every cartel to conduct their business without war breaking out at every point in time.We surely did suffer differences, misunderstandings and fights amongst each other but the council was there to regulate extremeties. I stepped into the room along with the others, my eyes scanned the place and it fell on my seat which had my name written on it. I made to move forward but someone suddenly came in front of me. I halted, shutting my eyes briefly before releasing them to look at Sparrow who grinned at me exposing his missing tooth. He wore a hat and had a stick of cigratte between his teeth that was yet
AngelI tried with everything within me to keep my anger in check because I swear I was ready to tear Sparrow from limb to limb and I wish my dogs were near so I could feed his bones to them. I moved carelessly through the crowd, hitting some persons along the line. I didn't bother to apologize, I was more interested in satiating my anger.Thea was still dancing with him and he was seizing every opportunity to feel her curves.When I had gotten near to flipping him to face me, I caught Thea's eyes. She startled and pulled away from Sparrow. She looked very scared but what did she expect? That I'd be happy she was dancing with him? Sparrow on the other hand had turned to the direction she was looking at and we caught each other's gaze. The brief smirk on his face soon disappeared as my fist almost came very close to his face only that I was seeing Thea's face now.Murmurs echoed around us as people took notice of us. My fist hung in the air and my body vibrated more in anger. "What
Thea I tried to wait patiently for Angel but the time seemed retarded. It was a painful wait and there was nothing I could talk about with Knight. I sipped the drink in my hand scanning the hall as if searching for Angel amongst the people. "Do we get cocktail hours here?" I asked trying to break the awkward silence between us. Even though I preferred knight to having Caspian guard me, he was too stiff for a proper discussion. "Maybe... Somewhere at the elevation." He said and I gulped my wine this time. I let out a nervous breath and began thinking quick on what else to say. "How much longer do I have to wait?" "Not very long. Don Ricardo still needs to be with his non mafia guests." Knight said and I snapped my head in his direction. There were non mafia guests here and I felt so intimidated. "There are?" "Business partners...." "Oh...." I muttered and gulped the rest of my drink. "I need to move." I said and he furrowed a brow at me. "It's suffocating staying at a place,
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
