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
CassieThe itching in my folds doubled and the air in the room became tense. I moved back and he moved forward. "I'm I scaring you?" A gasp left my throat and I stopped."W-what?" My lips quivered. "You keep moving back." He said and I gulped a lump down my throat. Why the fuck was he so blunt? I blinked severally but he remained unwavering. "I'll just... Go take a shower." I said and hurried off to my bathroom. I quickly turned on the tap to fill up the tub. My heart kept pounding against my chest and I took several deep breaths to calm down but the thought of Knight in my room while I took a shower was doing things to me. Why did he accept to stay without any questions? He didn't look stunned at my request. He was really confusing me. I immersed myself in the bath washing myself in it. My face kept flushing as I thought of him in ways I shouldn't. I fucking raped him in my mind. I dried my body after I was done and tied my towel around my chest. Would he have his back against
AngelI felt drowsy and ached all over my body especially where I had been shot. I couldn't say precisely how many times I had woken up and fallen back to sleep but I was aware of one thing, that I had just received treatment for the gunshots. I opened my eyes gradually, this time, feeling more awake than the other times. I stared at the ceiling above me for some seconds, I had thought I was the only one in the room untill someone raised their head from the bed. "Angel?" The voice belonged to Cassie, I stretched my neck to look at her and she looked shocked with a glint of excitement sparkling in her eyes. I let out a deep sigh to ease myself but it did nothing to ease the severe pain I felt in my heart.The pain of betrayal and heartbreak from the woman I loved dearly with everything I hadIt hit me the most more than anything that happened that night. "Angel, are you okay? How do you feel?" I heard Cassie call again but I looked away trying to hide the hurt I felt from her. I wa
Camilo stood by the window looking out for when Caspian would return from the clinic. He had mentioned going down to the basement where the truck drivers were held for questioning once he returned. So she could probably miss his car when it arrived. She didn't need to be in the business to tell that things would only get bloody as a result of the attack but what worried her the most was the whereabouts of Thea.Florentine had disclosed the news as she heard it to her while they made their way to the clinic the other night. It caught her by surprise but she was too worried about Caspian to actually dwell on the thoughts.It confused her as to why Thea would want to escape when she was clearly in love with Angel. What might have changed? Was it planned? And how didn't she get a hint about it?She was filled with questions but in all she only hoped that Thea made it out safe and alive.The door suddenly yanked open startling Camilo. She turned towards the door to find an angry Caspian
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
TheaI held my breath at the countdown. This had to be the scariest moment of my life. I didn't know what to expect, how being blown up would feel. Would I feel the pain or would it happen so quickly that I wouldn't feel a thing? I guess it was painless because everything here was silent. Maybe it was peaceful on the otherside.... But then a gasp echoed and I heard Angel's voice sobbing, his hands hugging my legs. It felt so real. "Open your eyes...." His voice was as real as ever. I heard the sound of air in the room, almost like my senses were heightened. The smell of fuel returned to my nostrils.Slowly, I opened my eyes to see Angel, his eyes filled with tears, his entire expression showing relieve. I let out a sharp sigh as I took in the picture of my sorrounding. My breath got deeper and my heart constricted. I began to tear up. I looked at Angel, I wanted to touch him, my hands were still tied to the chair but just seeing him was everything to me. "Angel...." I cried as te
As Angel ran to the cell where Natalia had left Thea, he noticed that Rico left him. Son of a bitch heard there was little time left and decided to save himself instead.By the time Angel arrived, Thea was sweating heavily and tearing up bitterly. His heart breaks even more seeing her condition and hearing the beeping sound of the bomb. Everything became more real. It was now a fact that if he didn't work fast he'd be losing the most important person in his life. "Thea!" He yelled wasting no time to run to her. Thea remained frozen for some seconds, wondering if he was real. Her chest began rising and falling heavily realizing he was real. Angel had come to save her. "A-Angel" She cries out his name, a wave of relieve washing through her. "Thea...." He muttered and his eyes quickly studied the bomb. He noticed that someone had already began the work and putting two things together it had to be the man that gave him the direction. "Angel there isn't much time left." She cried, tr
After Angel and Rico had seen the footage of where Natalia had taken Thea to, they immediately went to her rescue. Rico led the way as he knew the place better than Angel. On the other hand, Natalia was hurrying out of the place looking behind her with each corner she took knowing that the guard she had left behind would be running aftet her. She was going to shut the metal gate so that when he got to the entrance, he wouldn't have an escape. While she ran, the sound of hasty footsteps caught her attention and she gradually came to a halt from her flight. Her soul almost left her seeing Angel and the head security. At first, she was relieved to see that Angel was alive but soon shock enveloped her and she became confused to see the head security with Angel. They were not even close to knowing each other, so why were they together? Angel and Rico also came to a halt seeing Natalia. In that moment, Angel felt like his entire world had been turned upside down seeing the gun in Natal
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
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
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
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
