CassieI was still curled in a corner of my bed trying to figure how to face the day when my phone began to ring. I knew it was Florentine calling to tell me breakfast was ready. I turned to the other end of the bed lazily and grabbed my phone from the side table."I'll be down in five." I said and hung. I quickly brushed my teeth and slicked up my hair before hurrying downstairs. I didn't want to be the last one coming in and have knight watch my every step till I took my seat but unfortunately, he was there before me and everyone else except Angel. "Good morning." I greeted everyone and they returned the gesture too except for the big guy sitting next to me. I bit my lips nervously trying not to look in his direction, I tried to breath normally but my heart was racing more than I could handle so I touched my chest begging it to stop. "Are you in pain?" Knight's voice came out deep and I glanced at him to catch him watching me intensely. My body blazed with the heat from his star
CassieMy throat went dry suddenly and I decided to play ignorant and keep walking but he came before me, his bulging chest blocking my view. I was losing air as fast as I was taking it in. "K-Knight...." I stuttered blinking nervously at him.He was quite confident and intimidating with his height and broad figure. I tucked my hair behind my ear feeling overwhelmed then I tried to move to the side but he blocked me moving in the same direction. "Oh sorry." I said and moved to the other side but he blocked me and this time I could tell it was intentional. "What are you doing?" I asked keeping my gaze low. "You've been avoiding me Cassandra." He called my name in full. He was damn serious. "Or did you think I wouldn't notice. I tried to laugh it off but the way it came out gave out the truth and I swore at myself. "That's ridiculous. Why would I?" I said finding the courage to look at him but his gaze was melting mine that I found it hard to hold. Gosh! I looked so vulnerable be
TheaMy plans to see Florentine at dawn didn't work because I had to seek permission from Irene my supervisor. She gave no care to my complaint and said that I wasn't eating well so my body was reacting yet she had given me half portion of food because I finished late from my morning duty. I was starving and my body was really getting the heat of it. I had to push my limits working at the warehouse, I had fallen from being dizzy and tired. Luckily for me, the men who were moving some cartons which I presumed contained Angel's goods had asked me to take a rest. Apparently, they had been minding their business since they were asked to but they felt sorry for me not knowing why I was being punished this much so they offered to help. Irene was not convinced when she came to supervise my work and I was convinced this woman wanted me to die from overwork. She made me dispose of stacked thrash before asking someone to get my food for the night.It was dark already and no maid was coming
TheaWhen would it end? This suffering, this pain. My body was breaking down and my mind was a mess. It was four in the morning and here I was scrubbing the kitchen floor on empty belly. My body was quivering from starvation and the pain in my belly was getting unbearable. I looked at the fridge in the kitchen and I was tempted to grab food from it. I looked around for prying eyes even though I knew cameras were here. What if Angel was watching? Should I even care about that because my belly was rebelling against me. I took a glass and fetched some water from the tap, I had been trying to hold out the entire night with water but it was getting useless. I dropped the glass harshly on the kitchen island glaring at the fridge as if it were the cause of my predicament. What was the worst that could possibly happen?I dropped all the care in the world and went straight for an apple in the fridge. I took my time eating it gradually even though I just wanted to munch everything at once to
TheaI couldn't explain the kind of feeling I was experiencing now because it looked like so many negative and positive emotions were mixed together and tossed into my heart. I was angry at him, I hated him yet I was happy to see him and I desired him. My lips parted gradually as I had to breath through my mouth to save myself. "A-Angel...." I whispered his name but I wasn't sure he heard it because I could barely hear it. He had a mean gaze towards me and for a moment there I was worried how this encounter would end. He wasn't saying anything and just kept staring at me. I wanted to leave but I was scared he'd stop me. He took a step closer to me and I shuddered unexpectedly. Why was my body acting up now that he was here? I clutched my dress again easing my tension on it but even that wasn't enough. I was feeling breathless. "Did Irene not give you instructions about working here?" He finally spoke and the firmness of his voice was intimidating. "Yes she did. Not to be seen
KnightI had never felt so dispirited in the morning like I did now because my little Angel was absent at breakfast.I kept pondering, did I take things too far with her the last time? She had avoided me the previous day after what happened between us at the corridor, she missed dinner and it was endurable but now that she missed breakfast I was restless. I couldn't get my head straight not even to work. I was usually calm and coordinated but with Cassie, things were different. Angel was awfully silent at breakfast, he looked more angry than quiet and he had no care in the world if his sister was absent. Knowing them both I was certain they had a fight the other day if he didn't bother to ask about her.I ate little at breakfast and once it was over I didn't bother to meet up with Caspian or Angel about our plans to get back out stolen merchandise from Sparrow. I headed straight to Florentine's room. If Cassie would confide in anyone it would be Florentine.Thinking I'd have the priv
CassieI had to come up with an excuse not to join breakfast this morning. I already skipped dinner the previous night and I still wasn't ready to face knight. The tension that sparked between us was incredible. I had a sleepless night because I kept reminiscing what transpired between us.What was that bold step he took? Why did he do that to me? Did he realize just how much hope he had given me with that act? I turned in bed feeling my head ache from the constant thinking. It didn't make any sense for Knight to simply tease me. Drunk or not he remembered our kiss and even admitted to enjoying it. I let out a frustrated sigh jumping out of my bed as thoughts kept bugging my mind. Just ask him if he likes you and stop frustrating us! I yelled at myself as I paced about the room. Knowing Knight, he wasn't the type to play around. I knew he rejected me in the past but now he was saying something different and if I dared to believe. He was trying to tell me that my feelings for him
"Why do you have to stay in such position then? I asked nervously and his throat moved again as he gulped down fluid while looking at my lips. "... Because it requires this position."I sighed sharply fearing what he meant. "W-what do you want?" He hesitated a little then his lips twitched into a satisfied smile. "Did you enjoy our kiss that night?" I blinked several times forcing my lips to part so I could say something. "Knight....""That's one....Two, would you have let me kiss you if Camilo haden't showed up when she did?"I can't answer all this. Knight please, don't do this." I begged."I've waited too long for you Cassie. I can't stop now." "What? I said almost inaudibly trying to wrap my head around his words. "Three...." He continued, lowering himself towards me so that our face were a kiss away from each other. My desires erupted like a volcano. I was like a wild fire and a beeping bomb waiting to explode. We stared into each other's eyes more like we were staring in
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
