CassieDamian was so excited to see me, however, I couldn't say the same. I just needed someone to hang out with and he was the most available. Knight's threat kept echoing in my head and I'd glance back from time to time to know if he had come after me but when it was clear that he didn't I felt both relieved and disappointed. So what was all that act for? I felt stupid for even thinking he'd come. They had a lot of things to handle and pursuing a girl should be at the bottom of his priority. Except I wasn't just any girl. I was the same girl he kissed, the same girl he made feel important now after rejecting me a year ago. Finally, he was showing some serious interest in me and I was living for every moment. "Is it just me or has that car been following us for a while now?" Damian said and my eyes widened in shock. I snapped my head back and my lips spread apart seeing Knight's car trailing just right behind us. My heart made several leapes, so he wasn't just bluffing, he meant i
AngelFor days, my mind had been like a battlefield, everything was so messed up and I had no idea what to do. I wasn't allowed to see Thea because she couldn't stand being in the same room with me. I missed her, I wanted to be with her so bad but I fucked things up.Everyone had left me alone to dine with my guilt and regret, I needed some time alone but today Cassie barged into my office and gave me a piece of her mind. I had nothing to say because I deserved everything I got. I had been in denial all these while but Cassie was right, even if Thea betrayed me, was she to be blamed for wanting her freedom? Even if she played with my heart, it didn't mean I had the right to keep her hostage. This wasn't how our cartel worked. Saving someone and keeping them hostage just for our sexual pleasure. I was and I'm still obsessed with Thea. The only difference was that at first it was an obsession of lust but now it was for love. I felt like a disappointment to both my late step-dad and
An air of joy hit me straight in the heart as I finally got in and then I saw Thea, lying on her side. She seemed to be asleep because she didn't make a move when I began moving towards her. I took a stool and sat beside her but she seemed to be really asleep.I sighed in relieve, that way she wouldn't know I was here. "Thea...." I muttered, making sure she was asleep one last time and she didn't respond. Slowly, I reached out to her shoulder, the moment I touched her, I tensed and let out shaky breaths. "I wish I could have you in my arms once again." I whispered and had the urge to hold her tighter so I squeezed her shoulder slightly but retracted my hand immediately as she made a turn toward me.My eyes fell on her pretty sleepy face. This was what I wanted, for her to wake up in my arms every morning. I craved those days again but would it ever happen? I startled the moment I noticed her eyes fluttering, maybe this was my signal to leave before she woke up but why couldn't I? In
CassieI stayed silent in the car while Knight drove us to the hospital. I delved into my stream of thoughts, my mind went back to Angel, was I too hard on him? No, I wasn't. He really deserved everything he got coming. I derailed to Damian now seeing my phone ring. He was calling, I cut the call and glanced at Knight who already heard the sound and was looking at me quzzically. The call came in again and I startled trying to get my phone to shut up. "Who is it?" Knight asked when I finally turned it off. "It's Florentine " I lied. I was worried about Damian after how Knight handled him. I had never seen this side of Knight before and as much as it excited me it scared me. I didn't want him hurting anyone I cared about just because he was jealous. My phone rang again and I had to pick up to avoid his suspicions. "I'll call you later, you don't need to worry. I went out with Knight." I said and cut the call immediately. I hoped Damian understood what I meant and never called again
"Would you like to go home now or is there somewhere else you'd like to be?" Knight asked once I was out. I remained silent as tears began to flow down my face again. "Cassie...." He called holding my shoulders gently. "Look at me." I shook my head not wanting to face him looking like that. He pulled me into his arms and hugged me again, stroking my hair so gently that I felt consoled. "You're going to be fine, I promise you." He said and was able to get me to calm down. "Take me to the beach." I said and he did still for some seconds. That seemed to be random but that was what I felt I needed at this point. The wind of the beach hitting against my skin, the sand roughing on it. The wavy water underneath my feet. I just wanted to feel it all. The beach gave me a sense of freedom. I wanted to feel free."We'll do that if that's what you want." He said and took me by my hand leading me to the car. The drive was an hour and half but we got there while the sun was still in the sky. Night
AngelI went to the club tonight and alone. Knight and Caspian were no longer fond of it and I couldn't stand being home and not be able to see the one person I wanted to be around.I played some games, drank, popped my smoke but none of it filled the void in me. I returned to my vault and watched some strippers perform and by the time it ended I wasn't aware. "Boss, your whore is here." Said one of my men. He was referring to Natalia. I had not asked for her since I came neither had I been to the club since Thea collapsed. My mood was dead to sex tonight, it was already hard fucking another woman without thinking of Thea and I couldn't bring myself to do it tonight but I thought I needed the extra company because I felt so lonely. "Let her in." I said and Natalia stepped in looking all fancy with her strip wear and a mood of excitement. I wondered if she couldn't feel the cold aura in the room. "Where have you been. I missed you." She said running over to my side and sitting on o
After Angel had dismissed Natalia. She hurried off to the dressing room, in tears and anger. After what she told him about Thea, that was his only response. He made a fool out of her and she hated Thea the more for it. "Natalia what's wrong?"One of the strippers asked but she responded with a heavy slap that sent her on her feet. The other strippers present gasped, shocked at her outrage. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" Trish came grabbing her arm. She was the only one who could stand up to Natalia in the room. "What happened?" "That slut Thea. She just manages to get everything. How the fuck did she get Angel to doubt?""What are you taking about." Trish said lowering her voice. "You forgot the others are here, what if rumours spread out and Angel learns that you're spreading his affairs all over the club? Be careful Natalia." She warned. Trish was the only other stripper who knew what was happening because Natalia had told her. They had killed off Sasha so there was no other
TheaSleep became a luxury to me because all I did was drown in my misery every night. Florentine would give me sedatives just so I could get some rest. My body rejected it because I'd be awake less than an hour. Tonight, I decided to take a stroll to the one place I felt complete amidst all my suffering, the one place my baby had shared a lovely moment with it's parents.The night Angel and I kissed and he didn't even know he was to be a father. I stood over the short fence and just let the night's breeze whisper to me. Memories came flashing and it brought tears to my eyes. How did Angel and I get to this point? Our once loving selves reduced to nothing but hate. I loved him like I loved no other and he ended up being the one who hurt me the most. I had so much grudge against him that I didn't think anything could make me let go of it. I was broken and I was in need of healing. I just wanted to know what hapiness felt like again. While I dwelled in my thoughts I got startled
