TheaAngel and I cleaned up and got dressed. We were heading back to the hall now. Knight was the one bugging his phone while we had sex. There was no text message from him so I was a bit relieved assuming it wasn't so important."Won't you call Knight to find out why he was calling." I said to Angel as we stood before the elevator which soon paved it's wings."I'm sure he just wants to know our whereabouts." He seemed so sure, so I decided to give it a rest. We got into the elevator and Angel pressed the floor number. I didn't pay attention to what he did but instead of going down I noticed we were heading up. I looked at Angel as he stepped away to stand beside me. I was curious so I gave him a quizzical gaze."We're heading up." I said but a knowing smile crept up his face."I know." He said eying me seductively which made me nervous. He walked towards me till he was standing a foot away. He placed his hands casually inside his pockets and burned me with his intense gaze."... And
AngelA minute went by before Thea's words finally sank into me. I sighed sharply and I shoved a lump to wet my dried throat. I chuckled feeling wordless. I was still trying to convince myself that this was real but no matter how much I thought about it, it just seemed too precious a gift to be real.Undoubtedly, she was attracted to me but how was it that she felt for me the exact way I felt for her? I wanted to be happy, I've waited for this in what felt like forever. That feeling of love, it went beyond what words could express. Was her definition different from mine or was it simply just possible that Thea was truly in love with me? How possible?I peered into Thea's eyes to see if there was a glint of uncertainty there but it was consistent. The way she looked at me mirrored how I knew I looked at her."How's that possible?" I found myself uttering. She looked slightly confused for some seconds. The glint of confusion soon cleared in her eyes and she simply smiled, taking my han
AngelThea and I walked hand in hand, taking the lift to head back to the hall. A message popped into my phone and I squinted my eyes in suspicion seeing it was from Knight.I was having a rather odd feeling about his call now. At first, when he called back at the hotel room, I had assumed he was concerned about our whereabouts but anxiety creeped in the moment I saw that I had several text from him. Why didn't I check my phone? Damn it! I guess I was too caught up in the moment with Thea.I quickly read through it and the last message was what caught my attention more. 'Sorry to spoil your fun but we have a problem.'I gulped hard and turned my gaze towards Thea, she was already looking at me now, her face full of worry."Is something wrong?" She asked and I could hear the fear within her voice. I didn't want her to get worried so I squeezed her hand in mine smiling weakly at her."I'm sure it's something that can be handled." She nodded but I could tell that she was still worried.
AngelPanic set in immediately.Fuck! We were under attack. Gunshots soon started blasting the air, hitting against our bullet proof vehicles. Thea's scream got to me and my first instinct was to cover her."What's happening?" She cried out but I held her tighter. Whatever happened tonight I wanted her alive the most."We'll handle it my love. It's going to be okay. I said stroking her back while the gunshots kept banging."Are you able to reach anyone ?" I asked Mike who sat in front with my driver Locust who also doubled as one of my guards. "Knight says a vehicle rammed through them. He's trying to get some men out of the damaged car. "We need to get you out of here boss. I'll speak with Caspian and try to clear the front so we can get pass." Mike said readily clocking his gun. Fuck this! I just lost some men and I was about to lose more. Just who the fuck had the guts! I swear I'll kill them. "Mike.""Yes boss.""Instruct the men to take cover and flee this scene as soon as t
CassieThe night seemed long, I couldn't sleep so I put on my headset blasting music to rid me of the vacuum I felt. Secretly, I wished I could attend the same party as Thea, arms in arms with Knight... I let out a deep breath, I was doing this again for the hundredth time, thinking about Knight and fantasizing the impossible. I felt my eyes sting with tears which I quickly sniffed back. We already resolved this, there was no me and Knight. I needed to get rid of my feelings for him by all means but instead I thought about him more often than normal. I had been too scared to admit to myself but the more I pushed my feelings away the more I fell for him deeper than I ever did. He was a thorn to my heart and yet the very one that made it flutter. I needed some saving yet I kept getting drawn to him. "Fuck you Cassie... Just forget him already." I cried in frustration tossing my headset aside. I sat up on my bed and reached for the side lamp, switching on the light. I buried my face
Camilo was as sleepless as Cassie that night. She lived in the same room with Caspian but they lived almost like strangers most of the days. After that day Caspian fucked her in front of Lucia, she resented herself for it every single day.He had respected her enough to stay clear from her whenever she didn't let him touch her, he had questions, ones that tortured him. How could he win her over completely if they seemed so distant. He wondered if he disgusted her atimes but the truth was that she hated herself for wanting him so much.He had stirred her body and heart that night before leaving for the party. He kissed her even when she did not reciprocate. Now he was texting her despite being occupied at the party.'Cami... Talk to me.' his messaged popped into her phone. She simply stared at the message but wouldn't reply. This was the fourth text she was receiving. ' I miss you.' He messaged again. He had been trying so hard to win her over. He did flop big time with Sasha and now
Now that Camilo was before him, she was speechless. She had a lot of things to say to him on her way. She wanted to confess her feelings to him and promise never to neglect him but he was fine and had just a few bruises on him. He was alive and that was all she cared for. She gulped hard averting her gaze from him. What would she do now? How would she explain her coming here to him? "Why are you here?" Caspian asked but she was yet to have an answer. She felt nervous before him, she wanted to hug him so badly and air out her feelings yet her entire body felt numb. "Cami...." He called moving close to her. He placed a finger on her jaw lifting her face to him. She stared into his hopeful eyes, he wanted to be the reason she was here so badly. "Why did you come here in such a haste?" "Caspian...." She whispered trying to look away from him but he pulled her face back to him. She pleaded with her eyes not wanting him to press any further. If she told him then things would change and
CassieWhen we arrived at the clinic, Angel was already being operated on. I stood outside the operating room pacing. Even though Knight had told me he would be fine I still felt worried. Thankfully the clinic had everything it needed at the moment for his treatment. It was well equiped, this was a cartel and anything could happen. Angel made sure that they were always ready. "Cassie ...." I felt a hand on my shoulder causing me to stop. I looked over my shoulder to get a glimpse of Knight standing behind me. I took a deep breath hoping to steady my heart, even in this situation my heart fluttered at his voice and proximity. "You should relax. I promise you he'll be fine." I nodded slowly, he seemed so sure of his stance but yet I couldn't calm my worry. I wished to see my brother and hug him. There was still so much I needed to do with him. I had clinged so much to Knight all these years that I neglected our sibling time. "I will, once the operation is successful." I said not wa
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
