CassieI felt myself moving in bed but there was a huge obstruction before me, my eyes were heavy and so was my head, when the faint smell of alcohol hit my nostrils, I remembered I had drank the other night. I was hit with realization and my eyes bulged open to see the figure of a man holding me in his arms. He felt warm and a second smell mixed with that of alcohol hit me. It was his scent, one that I was familiar to and intoxicated by.It was him, Knight. "Oh my goodness!" I yelled jolting out of his arms and out of bed. My lips were spread into a circle, I was shocked and confused at the same time wondering how he got into my bed. I watched Knight sit up in bed so calmly, he was shirtless, showing off his broad chest, biceps, stomach packs and bulging chest. Damn it! I found myself gulping feeling heat of desire wash over me. I was in his arms all night. "How did you get into my room?" I asked dread filling me for whatever might have transpired between us. I hugged my body, ru
AngelWhen I got home that morning I went straight to my office and had a bottle of wine. I found my way back to my room and fell on the couch. I didn't intend on getting drunk again, not after what happened the last time where I kissed a maid thinking she was Thea. Again, Thea. She tortured me with her very existence. Every fucking thing always connected to her. As usual Florentine had waited for me to arrive from the club, she noticed my mood and asked what was wrong but I ignored her because there was no point in telling her. From what I observed, not everyone in the house shared my anger and feeling of betrayal. I knew they were careful not to say it but aside Knight and Caspian the ladies seemed to have sided with Thea. I could just feel it, not even my sister, Cassie believed Thea was guilty. "Lola called." Florentine said when I didn't respond to her. I checked my phone and saw several missed calls from her. She had called like I was a missing person. What could be so import
TheaI knew Angel had gone to the club that night and no one needed to tell me what he had done there. It hurt to think about it but I guess I was getting used to all the pain. After morning duty, I was informed by Irene that I was to go for a check up with Florentine. The news came as a surprise to me because I had no such discussions with her. She probably just wanted to give me some food and let me rest at her place or it could Camilo's doing. Florentine was at least the safest reason to take me away from work right now. I knew this whole thing was getting on Irene's nerves but I didn't care, I needed the rest and my baby did. I went to Florentine's room and was surprised when I saw the girls with her too.Camilo and Cassie, they all stood before me beaming with smiles. I couldn't stop myself from smiling back but it came out with tears. I missed them so much, I missed us together like this. "So are we having a hug or not?" Cassie said spreading her arms towards me. I wiped my
AngelWhen my eyes locked with Thea, I wasn't ready for the reaction that came next because it began to make me doubt everything I had believed so far. Why was she in such pain?"Thea, Thea what's wrong?" Florentine yelled holding Thea by the hand. I too was shocked at her sudden reaction. I didn't know what to do but I was shaken from the look of pain she had. What was wrong?And why was she acting this way? "I just want to go...." She cried with tears spilling from her eyes. My heart clenched seeing her show so much pain, my head was a storm of confusion and for the very first time I began to doubt everything. . "Thea!" Florentine yelled as her feet suddenly went wobbly almost falling her to her feet. I didn't know when my legs moved in a haste but I was standing next to Thea with my hands wrapped around her waist and my body shaken from fear.She was scaring me. "Thea, what's wrong? What's wrong with her Florentine!" I directed my worry through anger to Florentine. She said not
TheaMy eyes struggled while fluttering open, I felt weak and restricted and it somehow registered in my mind that I was lying down but then I remembered having this awful cramps... Wait, where was I? I finally opened my eyes to see the ceiling above me, I looked down on my belly and immediately my hands went down to feel it. Even though I was yet to have a bump I still tried to feel it to know if it was still in there.My baby... What had happened to it? I only hoped it was fine. No, It needed to be fine. I remembered being soaked in my own blood and then everything went blurry and now I was in this bed. It scared me seeing the amount of blood I had lost. Was it possible that it survived? "Thea....you're awake." I heard Camilo speak and then came Cassie's voice. I turned to my side to see their relieved faces and my face turned pale. They knew...."How are you feeling?" Cassie asked stroking my hair gently. How I felt didn't matter, I just wanted to know what happened to my baby.
TheaToday, Florentine had gone to get the result of the ultrasound. I had prayed with all my heart these two days to have nothing but good news but I couldn't help being scared of the worst. I had not touched a thing since the day I collapsed, I knew it was Angel's doing and even though we had an encounter back then at the clinic, the hurt and regret he expressed to me that day meant nothing to me and I could never forgive him if anything happened to our baby. I had not seen Angel since that day as well, it seemed he was respecting my decision and staying away. He didn't know about our child yet, it was just a secret I shared with the girls and Knight now. Cassie and Camilo had not come visit either because I had asked Florentine to keep them away, I couldn't face them, all they did was support me and I hid such big secret from them. My patience was running out as I waited for Florentine, I had called several times but she wouldn't pick up. Out of curiosity I went into the bathro
CassieLife isn't fair, it certainly was not.Thea deserved better than she got. I believed she was unfortunate to have been entangled in a forbidden romance with my brother, her step brother. I wanted Angel to be happy, he was my brother after all and I loved him more than I could ever express but I'd call a spade a spade.True, I was sad that I was left in the dark about Thea's pregnancy and I couldn't blame her for her decisions because none of us were bold enough to stand up to Angel and defend her. We were all guilty of knowing she was innocent and playing easy with Angel but now that the worst had happened, I didn't give a care about not getting on my brother's bad side. It was hard enough not to tell him about his child and torture his conscience with it. I needed to do something, to ease my angry heart. "He's back ma'am." A maid said and I nodded dismissing her. I had asked her to keep an eye out for Angel for when he'd return. I needed to say somethings to him. I made my
Knight I watched Cassie walk out on me like my threat meant nothing to her. I was fucking pissed off. If she was that mad at her brother why fucking go out with a fucking guy from school!Damn this! I tried to hold myself back from going after her and dragging her back into the mansion. How the fuck did she have the guts to say that to my face after we've kissed and after she asked me to make love to her. Why was she being so damn difficult? I sighed deeply, combing my fingers through my hair, I should let her go and let her think I was just bluffing. I would really love to see the motherfucker that got to pick her up and he better not have some stupid interest in her because if I saw him giving the slightest flirtatious look at her I'd slam my fist to his fucking face."This is all your fault Cassie... Fucking with my mind so easily." I said more to myself. There was no one around to listen anyway.I had something really important to attend to and after that I'd go after Cassie. I
