Thea I let out an angry sigh returning my gaze back to Leo. "I'm sorry I can't teach you further.""Did your boss say so?" I asked sounding pissed but he remained silent so I brushed passed him and walked towards Angel and Knight who stood side by side. I saw Cassie hurrying towards my side as well. "Thea wait!" She called but I didn't stop until I stood in front of Angel. He looked guilty and not sorry. Why was he trying to rip me of the little happiness I found? "Was it you?" I asked feeling more annoyed now that I looked at his face. "Why are you bent on making my life miserable? Can't I have a little fun at least after everything you've done to me!" I yelled and he wavered as his eyes softened towards me. I hit a nerve and I'll do it a thousand times to see him hurt. It hurt me already that despite everything I suffered I couldn't pay him back as much as I wanted. "I never said a thing Thea...." "So why did Leo back out all of a sudden? It's you! Your very presence intimida
TheaAngel carried me into the mansion and took me to the office where he and the men discussed important matters. He let me down on a couch and I quickly moved away from him."Give me your leg.""No." I blatantly refused. "Don't be stubborn, give me your leg Thea.""I said no!" I yelled moving away again but my leg hurt with the force I applied so I let out a whimper. I stood up from the couch and Angel followed me."Are you going to cause more harm to yourself walking around with a sprained ankle?" He asked and I could detect the annoyance in his voice but I didn't give a fuck about his temper right now. He shouldn't have brought me here in the first place. I leaped, moving away from him but he grabbed my arm and came in front of me looking at me with disbelieve in his eyes. "Why won't you listen? you're hurt." I pulled my hand forcefully from him breathing hard as I felt anger rise from within me. "It doesn't hurt much, you're the one overacting. The one who needs care is Leo!"
TheaI couldn't sleep the entire night, my heart kept beating in worry for Angel. I was restless, pacing about amidst my silent prayers for his protection. Maybe I shouldn't have been mean earlier today. Maybe I should have asked him to stay. Would he have listened to me? My feelings about the Casino was unsettling, I could feel it like that night of the attack that something would go wrong but then I didn't have the courage to let go of my grudge towards him. I wasn't ready to forgive just yet, I needed more time ... Wait, I needed more time? Was I seriously considering it? Forgiving him? This was so unfair to me, just when I needed to make him suffer for everything he's done, he had to be in danger one day or the other. He wasn't letting me have a win was he?I spent the entire day in my room, loosing appetite even when they brought my food to me. I isolated from the girls and told them everything was fine. The entire day was about me having to choose between asking Angel to stay
Thea"Don't touch me Angel...." I say even though to me it was more of a plea. He looked quite confused but I guess he wasn't going to listen as he began walking towards me. "I need my space." He stopped at my words. "I need space from you Angel, I need my mind intact, I need to think, I just want to keep hating you." I bared my feelings as it was. "Hate me then." He said raising his voice. I seemed to be confusing him as well with my conflicting actions and reactions. "Then stop what you're doing." I yelled back. "...But I'm not doing anything Thea.""Yes you are, you fucking are." I cried. "I hate this...." I cut myself off finishing the sentence in my mind. 'I hate the way you make me feel Angel. I should hate you yet I want you.'"Then tell me what I should stop." "Stop pursuing me, stop interfering, just stay away from me.""I can't""Why?""Because I'm in love with you Thea!" "Then stop loving me!""I can't! And you know it. I can't get you out of my head, or my heart. M
AngelI left Thea's room, still in awe of what happened between us. I kissed her and she kissed me back. What surprised me the most was the fact that she craved the taste of my lips as much as I did hers.After what happened at the golf field I felt restless and she'd hate me if she knew what I did to Leo afterwards. Whether we were together or not Leo knew the drill, he wasn't to be seen with her or stay in such proximity knowing that she was mine. Only one thing could explain seeing them in that position and it was because Leo wanted it. After treating Thea's sprained ankle, I went to look for him and dealt punches to his face. I didn't want him around the mansion or Thea going to apologize to him for what happened so I transfered him to one of our properties on the outskirts of town. He should count himself lucky, I found out that his family were living just close there so the fucker just seemed to be lucky. I returned to my room and couldn't get my mind off Thea not just becaus
"What's your relationship with Sparrow?" I asked paying attention to her. Her face went ashen and anger built inside me remembering the recording of Julio where he mentioned her. "W-why would you ask that?" She said trying to be careful. I took a step closer to her feeling my anger coming to the surface. "Start talking." I said in a low but commanding voice. She wavered unable to hide her fear of me. Her lips were quivering and she looked like she was going to melt under my gaze. "Nothing, as a whore I have to sleep with different masters and he is one of them." I relaxed back feeling insulted that she had the guts to lie to my face. Maybe I had been too lenient on her. "Angel you're scaring me." She said and walked past me. "I only came here to be your whore for the night. I'm aware of the game at the casino which Antonio is holding tonight. Since you didn't ask and have no whore to accompany you, I thought I might offer myself." She said rubbing her breast seductively. I scof
Angel I arrived at the casino a little late, I guess because the place was booming with laughters of men already seated and ready for a starting toss. I went in with Mike as we were only allowed to bring one man each for protection while Knight and Caspian took care of things outside."No weapons." I heard the guard at the entrance say to Mike who turned around seeking my permission. I sighed and nodded to him. He took out his gun and handed it to one of my men who waited outside. The guard signalled again and Mike stepped forward allowing the metal detector to search him then I went in next."Sir, I'm sorry but you have to leave your watch." The guard said with a slight tremble to his voice. Even though I knew it wasn't his making I couldn't help but feel pissed. "My watch isn't a weapon." I voice roughly and he dipped his head apologetically."Order from Antonio." He said and I scoffed. What was that fucker on? "That's insane...." I muttered "It's a peaceful game sir. We follow
AngelThe games went on for a while, as expected it was heated. Tension filling the air, stirring anger in the hearts of losers. Sparrow and I weren't the only rivals here but we were probably the greatest rivals.Remarks kept flying at every chance created and the tension wasn't reducing any moment. "It's a good thing to see that everyone honoured my invitation." Antonio said trying to get the place to ease up a bit. I raised a brow at him taking a glimpse of his uneasy countenance. He looked around and continued to finish up the words he got in his mouth. " I got worried at some point." The place became a little chattery after he finished easing up the tension a bit. "Why would you be worried Antonio?" Cole one of the Don's asked. He was good with his cards and took the win the last time we played. A tough game that was.... Antonio adjusted in his seat as he studied the game, he played his card and the odds seemed to be in his favour. A smile played on his lips at the glimpse of h
