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
TheaI found a lonely corner to stay after my encounter with Angel that morning. The fact that he didn't care about me for being sick really hurt me. His words did cut deep into my heart, he'd revive me just to take me back to this hell of a life I was going through? Those words hit me really hard.My belly grumbled all the while but I ignored it till it was time for my breakfast when it became violent with it's grumbling sounds. I went to the room where Irene had asked me to stay and wait for my food every morning but again, I felt there was a delay just like the previous day. At this rate they'd really want to kill me. I couldn't go on empty belly this morning so I decided to get my food by all means. "Where are you off to?" I startled hearing Irene's voice, I had just bumped into her on my way out. She had a mean gaze and without doubt I knew she was angry with me but why? I blinked suspiciously wondering if she already knew about my encounter with Angel this morning.Was I goi
TheaI found my way around the mansion till I got to Florentine's room. My eyes had darted in search for Angel on my way, my heart was winning again and I craved to see him but my mind stepped up soon enough reminding me that he brought Natalia back and was probably fucking her for whatever round now. The thought broke my heart in pieces and I felt suffocated with pain. Despite it, I managed to get to Florentine's room. I hesitated but eventually I landed a knock on her door and after a second try the door paved way and I locked eyes with Florentine who looked stunned to see me. Her expression soon shifted to worry as she scanned my body with her mouth agape. It got me feeling sorry for myself and I couldn't hold back my tears any more. "Florentine...." I called and a tear dropped down her face as well. "My goodness!" She muttered placing a hand across her mouth as more tears streamed down her eyes. I knew she felt terrible seeing me this way but right now I needed comfort and s
TheaThe shock I experienced when Florentine dropped the bomb of a news to me still lingered into the night. I couldn't yet believe it, I had a human growing inside of me. I touched my belly from time to time trying to feel it but I couldn't, instead I just felt a connection to my child with every heartbeat. As promised, Irene didn't request for me the entire day but I was to resume work the next day. Florentine had expressed her worry over it, that it could be harmful to the child if I stressed myself out. I was new at this and even though I could bear to have my baby hurt I still couldn't stop working otherwise the truth would be known to Angel and I feared him for what he would do to our child.It wasn't likely that he'd believe it belonged to him, I couldn't risk it. Maybe, when it became difficult to contain the truth I'd have the courage to plead with him to spare it and have a parternity test once it was born. "I need to be strong for us, and I need you to be strong for me."
"Where are you going?" He asked and I blinked nervously, his eyes did seem like he didn't recognize me but I wasn't sure, maybe it was just the alcohol messing with his expression. I looked down on our hands and slid mine out of him. The warmth his touch provided was a danger to my resolve. I swallowed hard finding my voice to speak. "What do you mean?" I said. Wondering the thoughts he had behind that question. If he did recognize me, he shouldn't want me to stay because he had instructed I stayed out of his sight. I caught his eyes on my hand which I withdrew from him. What was that I saw in his eyes? Was it disappointment? Did he hate the fact that I did that? "Why are you asking that? " I questioned further getting interested. "Stay....please stay." I blinked in shock and let out shaky breaths."What?" I muttered finding it hard to believe. He wanted me to stay didn't I disgust him? And why did I just feel excited about it?"You're drunk, do you even recognize me?" I pressed
AngelThis morning, I woke up on my couch knowing I was wasted the previous night. My head hurt from the hangover I was having and I still found it a little difficult to coordinate my body.I had a strong head for alcohol but that night, I had drank so much out of frustration and it had everything to do with Thea.After confronting her that morning, I returned to my room with a restless mind. I won't deny it, when I caught her peeking at me through the corners of the wall, my heart leapt in excitement seeing her. Even though I had given the instruction for her not to be seen by me, I was still pleased to see her and I hated myself for it. Natalia had been curious to what had taken my attention and she had tried to drag me up to my room but my entire being wanted to see Thea and eventually I succumbed to my desires. Disregarding the persuasion of the whore I brought home, I followed my heart to find Thea where she was hiding. In other to satiate the anger I felt for myself for wanti
"What's your name?" I asked and she looked reluctant. "Jennifer." She answered nervously and averts my gaze."Where were you last night?" She looks back up in shock and I found her lips quivering. "At my room after we were done preparing dinner." She answered"You serve at the kitchen?" "Yes...." I didn't get my answer but she looked like the most promising suspect. I let my eyes fall to her lips maybe I would remember looking at them but nothing. "Wait...." I said to her when she tucked in her lips having found me looking. "Never mind." I said. What the fuck was I thinking looking at her lips? It gave me nothing. "You can leave." She ran instead, I guess I scared her that much especially if she was the lady I kissed. Those lips didn't look like one I'd enjoy, I felt repulsed thinking of kissing another lady because that act wasn't something I'd enjoy doing with someone I didn't love. I could fuck yes! Because my dick had a brain of its own but even that was difficult to enjoy
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
Cars had lined up our compound and I was ushered into mine with Cassandra as my chief bridesmaid. She looked gorgeous as well. Mum had returned my phone to me and that was when I was able to speak with Angel. We both shared a collective gasp feeling huge relieve now that we could talk to each other. "My love, I'm so sorry. Mum and the girls wouldn't let me speak with you." I said over the phone but Angel released a deep sigh instead. "I just want to see you Thea. I need to see you so badly. Right now...." His voice was deep and full of desperation and I understood him quite well. "I know my love and me too. I'm on my way okay?" I said and heard Cassandra chuckle. We finally arrived at the church and my heart kept beating so loudly against my chest. It was really happening. I was about to be married and to my true love. I couldn't explain the overflowing joy I felt on this day. It was truly the happiest day of my life. Scott held my hand as he got ready to lead me into the chur
It had been a month since Camila's wedding with Caspian. My bestfriend had been at her happiest ever since that day. I'd call it the wedding glow. She was now a wife and mother and had her family, I bet it was everything to her. I was so happy for Camila but now it was my turn. The had been involved through all the step of my wedding preparation as well as the men. They assisted Angel with everything making our work easier. It brought us even more closer, and I enjoyed sharing those moments with them. I loved going to check my wedding dress with them especially. Mum had wanted to go dress fitting with me so bad, so I took her along with the girls for every appointment and I was glad I did because it brought mum and the girls closer to each other. Mum had even started Calling Camila and Cassandra her daughters and my sisters. She finally understood how fun and joyful my life was at the mansion when she saw how the girls and I were and how much we loved each other. Mum had even o
It was the most exciting moment of their lives so far, having two weddings to plan. Camila couldn't be more excited to have Thea be her maid of honour.Both Thea and Cassandra had been invested in the wedding plans, helping her choose her wedding dress and the rest.Florentine had been very helpful with Casimir. She loved babysitting him while Camila had the freedom to plan her wedding.Angel and Knight had also been very invested, assisting Caspian with everything he needed.The only thing that saddened Camila was the fact her brother, Theo, could not attend her wedding. She hadn't even seen her nephew in close to two years.She had prayed for the day he'd be a free man, free from his former boss who wanted to end his life.Even though Caspian could easily save Theo and bring him back home, it would mean a war breaking out with their cartel and the gang run by Theo's former boss.The cartel would easily crush them, but that would be injustice and killing innocent men to protect Theo.
TheaI was really excited to ride in a helicopter, especially at night. I seized the opportunity to scream excitedly, and Angel encouraged me to do more.I noticed some lights from afar. I couldn't make out the images, but then the chopper started descending. I think we were arriving at our destination, which didn't seem like much at first, other than trees.I hoped we weren't going bush camping.When we got closer, the image I had seen earlier became clearer.It was a heart-shaped garden. "I love you," was written with 'love' drawn like a heart. The ambiance was stunning, and at the center of the heart symbol was a very exquisite setting."What's happening?" I asked, unable to hold back my shock. I looked at Angel, who was all smiles. He reached for my hair and stroked it. "What's happening?" I asked again, excitement filling me gradually as I tried to fully comprehend the situation.Angel smiled and looked ahead while I was still in shock. He wouldn't say a word to me."Angel..." I
TheaFor the eight months I had been with my mum, I went crazy not being able to see or speak with Angel. Alfred had been a friend to me but, well, we saw how that ended.In those eight months, I had stumbled upon one of my hobbies from the past, before I took stripping as a career, and that was designing jewelry pieces.To me, my designs were trash, and I had forgotten about them until one day.Looking at my designs then, my eyes were opened to how good I actually was at designing jewelry pieces, and I resumed the hobby again.Angel got to know about my hidden talent when I finally returned to him, and he encouraged me to keep it up. He loved my designs and supported me through it all.We occasionally talked about what I desired to do with my designs. I did want to have my designs in the market and hopefully a company in the future, but I was scared.What if people didn't like my designs?It has been a week after Camila's engagement, I was so happy for her but deep down something bot
