TheaI had to keep my word to Angel about joining them for breakfast but the fact that I was up by four in the morning was a result of my nervousness. Where do I sit when I eventually join them, how do I act if I had to be close to Angel. These questions kept disturbing my mind. Knowing Angel, he'd be looking at me throughout breakfast and I wasn't sure I could handle that yet. It's true that my heart had began going soft on him after I felt the weight of my burden being lifted. In a way telling the truth about our child did give me freedom. Once breakfast call was made I went to Caspian's room to see him. He never joined them for breakfast or involved himself in anything that didn't have to do with me... Well except for the strippers Caspian brought to him. He was living his best life, I knew that because he loved sex. I recalled my my promiscuous days and shook my head. I had a really wild life and a wilder one when Angel bought me but he struck a balance by having me here becaus
TheaI pull away immediately and nervously pick my fork while Angel picks my knife. "Let me get you clean ones." Florentine said once I was up and moved immediately to get them. Angel just acted nonchalant and it reminded me of how he used to be in the begining. He was still the same man just in a different situation now. I wondered what was going through his mind making me feel these things this morning. The cheerfulness returned to the table and I tried to ignore Angel as much as possible even though his entire focus was on me throughout. Once breakfast was over, I felt a huge relieve and was the first to leave. I didn't care what everyone thought, I just wanted to hurry back to my room and cry out my embarrassment in my bed. Why couldn't I keep my shit together? It was easier hating him. "Thea! Hold on!" I heard Cassie calling me so I stopped to know why. "Is there something wrong?" I asked and she smiled widely at me. She grabbed my hands and gave me a peck confusing me. "W
Angel"Thea...." I had muttered longing for her presence already. I must have been out of my mind to permit them to leave the mansion. With everything going on their safety should be my priority but I guess pleasing Thea came first to me. Anything she wanted, I was willing to do. My office suddenly became uncomfortable for me to stay in. Thea had just been here for a few minutes yet her absence brought a loneliness I could not endure. I attended to a few files on my table as quickly as I could and left my office, I had somewhere to be today and that was my father's house with Louisa. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves. It was funny now, I was never scared of going there before. Infact, I had more guts than I needed to go there. I'd threaten Louisa to stay off from getting her daughter back and I never bluffed with those threats but now the tables were turned and I was going there to tell her I couldn't return her daughter just yet. I had sent a message to her informing her of
"I wasn't sure before but now I'm convinced that you're insane." She stresses her words as if they were coming from the depths of her soul. "What do you... You can't mean that Angel." Scott said still in disbelieve but the next thing I did shocked them even more. I took two steps back and fell on my knees before Louisa. I kept my head low in shame, I was shameless to do this but I had to. It was the right thing to do even if she didn't forgive me. "What are you doing?" I heard her say. "Is this some kind of joke or what? Are you mocking me? Trying to play me now because you enjoy it?" "None of those are my intentions Louisa." I said and raised my head slightly. "I know I don't deserve it and I am shameless to do this but I have to. Louisa... I know I've hurt you in ways that are unforgivable but today I'm here to say I'm sorry for all the heartache my actions has caused you. I'm sorry for taking your daughter away from you. For causing her pain." I paused for a moment thinking abou
AngelI couldn't look at Thea, I felt guilty even though I wasn't doing anything bad with Natalia so I focused on Lola and her father. Their presence spiked my interest as I wasn't informed of the visit. "What's going on?" I asked moving towards them. I looked at Knight and Caspian hoping for an explanation as to why I had not been informed. "We just arrived Angel." Lola said cutting Knight off before he could utter the words in his mouth. "I was afraid you would ignore my calls and not want to see us if we had told you." I sighed and looked towards Florentine. "Get her a room to stay, I'll explain later." I said directing Natalia to Florentine. She nodded and feigned a smile at her. Cassie was the first to leave dragging Camilo by the hand. She was obviously pissed off that I brought Natalia home. She couldn't even wait to hear my reasons. I looked at Thea and she shook her head showing her disappointnent before leaving. I wish I could just follow her and explain things to her, if
TheaI was with the girls and Florentine when Lola and her father came. Knight and Caspian had come down to attend to them but none of us were leaving. My mind replayed the image of her kissing Angel and I felt so angry. She probably didn't care about me or how I felt, I wasn't even completely out of the picture when she decided to steal Angel from me.It hurt me so much that her single act of selfishness caused me a miscarriage. I thought I hated and blamed Angel all along for it but seeing her now and knowing what she did brought back the anger I had in my heart and this time around it was for her. Maybe a simple apology and genuine remorse will do the magic but then she obviously disliked me for having Angel's heart. It wasn't long enough after the Ricardo's came that Angel arrived. I was shocked to see Natalia beside him.I felt the sting of betrayal deep into my soul. Why was she here? Had he gone to meet her? Were they together while he was away? I kept asking. My heart was
"I dare you. You'll be out of this place before you can breath a word of this to Angel." I said as quickly as I could stopping her hand halfway in the air. She looked at me pained and confused but seeing that she wasn't going ahead I knew their was something amiss. She was scared of my threat and that gave me an upper hand. "You bitch...." Her voice came out teary. A tear fell off her eyes, curtsey of my hand on her face. I smiled feeling way too happy than I expected. Hmm... It felt so good to be the bully in this situation. I felt lifted in my spirit. "You should lay low if you want to enjoy your stay here. It's you against six of us. Angel can't help you much because no one likes you here. I wish you a nightmare of a stay." I said smiling at her. She shook from anger and watched me with hateful eyes while I walked past her.Now she had a taste of what it felt like to be helpless. "You think you won?" I stopped suddenly hearing her speak. "I swear to you Thea I will fuck Angel
AngelI allowed Natalia the benefits of settling down during the day and once it was evening I called for her. I was yet to meet Thea and explain to her about Natalia neither had she inquired about it. I just wanted to be done with the day's work before seeing her. As Natalia entered into my office, the excited look on her face died off when she noticed it wasn't just me but the three of us in here. She frowned and made her way into the room."You called for me." She said having a slight look of disgust as she looked at Knight and Caspian. "We." Caspian corrected and walked past her to shut the door which she had barely closed. She moved further into the room with arms folded against her chest while Caspian stood behind her. "I was expecting to meet you. I could tell you what you need to know." Natalia said, her tone conveying her disappointment but I didn't give two fucks about that. "They don't need to be here." She whispered looking at me. For a moment I wondered if she didn't r
Chapter 4 I thought catching my husband making love to my bestfriend was the cruelest sight I could ever see but the pain that came with him making love to her in my helplessness and going ahead to propose was out of this world. I had no idea how I was able to survive but Miguel and Nicole were not done with me. A week after Miguel had proposed, he made arrangements for me to be transfered to a care givers home where he paid for my treatments and care. Back then, I had wondered how he intended to get married while he was still legally married to me but one day, he returned with a court document that permitted him to file for a divorce without involving the second party. He had knelt in front of me that day, explaining how he needed to move on with his life. He apologized for everything he had done and went on to be a bastard by saying he would have wanted me to do the same if he were in my shoes. He had no idea what it meant to be in my shoes. I had been here for a month now, no
Chapter 3 "It hurts." I could hear my voice echo in my head. My head hurt. I could feel a weight in my eyes as I struggled to pull them open, when I finally did, what I saw were blurred images, I could hardly make out the meaning only the image before me. I tried to move something else, my hand maybe but I had no feelings there. I tried to talk but I couldn't find my voice then I heard someone speak. I listened carefully and could finally make out who the sound belonged to. A familiar pain struck me, one that I desperately wished would seize and never return. It was the pain from betrayal. The cruelest form of it. "I think Racheal has suffered enough Miguel, It's time for us to let her go." What was that witch talking about? I yelled within me, recognizing the female's voice to be no other than Nicole, my best... I swore at myself for almost giving her the title. So I meant, my ex-bestfriend. "I know it's hard to pull out your wife from life support but it's the best thing you c
Chapter 2 Racheal "Miguel! Nicole!" I cried out their names. My voice almost got lost with those two words as the weight of my heartache was carried in my voice. Tears spilled uncontrollably from my eyes. I was still praying that I was caught up in a vivid dream. As if catching them cheating wasn't enough, I saw Nicole open her eyes to meet my gaze, shock enveloped her but then her eyes went dreamy instantly as my husband was still ramming his way through her. "M-miguel... Your wife." She managed to stutter but Miguel wasn't stopping. He made love to her like a wild beast breaking what was left of my heart. " Miguel...." Nicole called again to warn him but he didn't stop. "I can't stop, I'm about ahhh!" He made one last deep thrust into her releasing a deep groan as well. I gasped, panting for air as I couldn't bear the sight any longer. I clutched on the ground hitting my chest as if to stop the pain. It was after Miguel had released inside Nicole did he seem to realize my pr
DIVORCED! MARRIED HIS RIVAL Chapter 1 Racheal Who would have thought that an innocent surprise to my husband would turn into my worst nightmare? It was two days to my wedding anniversary with Miguel Elliot, my husband and highschool sweetheart. We had been in love for seven years and were married for a year now. He was my everything, I trusted him more than I trusted anyone. Even though he had promised to be back before our anniversary, I was too impatient to wait so I decided to visit him in the next town where he had a business meeting. I hoped he liked my surprise. "Mrs Elliot, I'm sorry but you can't go in." Maya, his personal assistant said, I could see the way her hands trembled and the way her entire body fidgeted when she spoke. At first I understood her, she was just doing her job but when she kept on insisting that I couldn't see my husband I became annoyed. "Are you sure you know who I am?" "Of course I do, you're Mrs. Elliot but I'm really sorry. My boss instruc
Epilogue Thea was five months into her pregnancy, and as agreed by her and Angel, they were going to do a gender reveal with the entire family. Decorations had been set up for the day, and they decided to use blue and pink as the general color theme, representing the male and female gender.Angel and Thea weren't the only ones with preferences for their child's sex. While Thea wanted a boy who looked like Angel, Angel wanted a girl who looked like her. Similarly, Camila and Caspian wanted a boy so he could be Casimir's age and play with him, while Cassandra and Knight wanted a girl. Cassie wanted a girl she could twin with in dresses, play with makeup, and do other fun things. Knight wanted the same because they already had a boy, and it would be balanced to have a princess too.Florentine kept her preference to herself; one could say she simply wanted another baby in the mansion, regardless of gender.While Louisa and Scott also wanted a grandkid, it did
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
