I kept crying profusely inside the car till we got to the mansion. I ran out of the car and threw up by the side. I had been holding my spew back for long. I looked back and didn't sight Angel's car near so I hurried into the mansion moving straight to Florentine's room. I began banging her door until it yanked open."Thea... What's the matter?" I hurried into her room and shut her door immediately. She had horror in her eyes just like me seeing the way I was shaking. "What happened? Where's Angel?" "He's going to kill me Florentine." I said sobbing harder. I saw her expression turn quzzical before realization dawned on her."No, no, no... Thea?" She said digging her fingers into her hair and sighing in frustration. "I swear I didn't plan to. It just happened in a minute. I thought I could be free."" Shhh...." Florentine pulled me into her arms stroking my back gently. "He isn't here?" She asked and I nodded. I'll call knight to talk to him before he gets here." She wiped my tea
"Don't make me hurt you Thea...I never want to hurt you again." I had expected to feel the sting of Angel's belt on me but instead I heard his words and it surprised me. Was he letting me off the hook? I was still unsure and anticipated his whip but it never came. Then he came to stand before me and surprised me more when he started removing all the tools on my body that were inflicting pain on me.I fell into his arms unable to keep my balance and he caught me. Despite the soreness I felt on my fingers, nipples and knee I tried to move to get a clearer view of his expression, maybe I could find some answers there. Angel looked down on me and I tried to believe what his eyes were telling me. He had guilt ravaging his eyes but why? I was the one who betrayed him. I let my fingers touch his chest slightly and he stiffened. Was that an effect from my touch? He was confusing me."Why did you stop?" I voiced in a low tone. He sighed and avoided my gaze and it only made me have more quest
TheaI took to my heels immediately, my mum was daring to have come here. I knew Carl was behind it. He obviously placed a tracking device on one of Angel's car at the party but why did my mum come alone?I got to the living room and I stopped at the entrance to see my mum in-between five men. Two guards behind her then before her was Angel, knight and Caspian.She had tears on her eyes but she looked angry.My gaze trailed from her to Angel trying to note the situation and before I could take a step further my mum moved towards Angel and the sound of her hand on his cheek resounded over the place.I stood there frozen by shock with my lips slightly parted. Did she just hit Angel? Angel wasn't moving but his men seemed to have been taken aback by my mum's bold move. I hurried my steps into the room to calm one side at least. "Mum!" I called hurrying towards her. She looked at me with wide eyes as if her crashed hopes of seeing me were restored."Thea...my love." She held my hand an
Angel'Son of a slut' The word hurt more than when I had been shot. I thought about my mother, the woman who let love destroy her. She was currently in a vegetative state and it was all thanks to my father for messing up our lives the second time. My mother showed me how love could turn one weak and my father taught me that one woman could never be enough. He was a serial cheater while I was growing up.He reduced his yearly body count as the years went by but I knew he never repented. I was going to dead my heart to love and see women as nothing more than sex tools.I didn't want to be weak like my mother and I didn't want to be tied to a commitment and become a serial cheater like my father.Those were my fears but I got to live with them until I took her.My worst fear seemed to be happening to me and I was letting it happen because it felt like I couldn't breath without her. She had succeeded in getting me unexplainably attached to her. No matter how much I tried to deny it, I k
TheaI paced about my room after Holf dropped me. I needed to know what was going down there but I knew the big guy wouldn't let me past the door. I snapped my head towards the door suddenly when it yanked open. My heart made a leap the moment Angel walked through my door. I just stood there, fear gripping me. I know I had asked him to purnish me instead of my mum but it didn't mean I was ready for it now. He began walking towards me and I let out a nervous sigh to ease my tension but it was a failed attempt. The moment he stood in front of me it heightened. I found my lips quivering as I tried to voice out some words."Are you going to purnish me?" I asked in a low voice." No." He said and my eyes squinted in shock. Did he really mean that? I found his hand reaching for me and I wondered what he was trying to do. His hand touched my skin and a shiver went down my spine. I was still very much affected by him even in this situation.To my surprise, Angel pulled me into his arms and
"It means I want you... More than I ever thought I could." His words made me voiceless. I could only stare at him. He was acting different and the frown on his face told me he didn't like my silence. "Why are you saying all this?" I gasped as he hit his hand against the wall above me.He was shaking slightly."Don't play it down Thea... Don't pretend like you don't know what I mean." He said it out like it was difficult for him to say. How was I supposed to put a meaning to what a mafia boss was telling me? He hurt me, tried to hurt my mum so how could he be saying such things to me?"Because I don't know what you mean." He scoffed in disbelieve but I was being honest. He pulled away from me and I almost wanted to pull him back. He nodded in disappointment then turned his back on me but he wasn't moving. He tilted his head back and I heard him sniff. Why did it sound like he was holding back a tear? That couldn't be real, it was all in my head. "I'm sorry I hurt you and I'm sorry I
What Sasha had said burdened me to my sleep. To make matters hopeless, Angel had gone to the club without me. He was probably annoyed because of the previous day, when I failed to understand or rather believe what he was saying to me.He couldn't possibly desire me. I wanted him to but did he even know what it meant to truly be attracted to someone?I went down for breakfast but was heartbroken to find out that Angel wasn't joining us. Caspian was absent too because he had Sasha over. Camilo looked broken. Knight was suspicious of our mood and Florentine was painfully silent as we ate.I couldn't stop thinking about the chances of the same thing that happened to Camilo happening to me. She was to meet her brother today yet Caspian made her sleep over at Florentine's so he could have the room to himself and Sasha. I simply couldn't imagine her pain.I didn't want to spend time with the ladies after breakfast so I walked back to my room hoping to bury my fears in my bed.As I walked
Angel looked at me with a frown on his face and trailed his gaze back to Florentine."Why did you bring her here?" He asked but his dissaproval of my presence didn't matter. I was more concerned about his injury. "Camilo is meeting with her brother." Florentine answered moving towards a cupboard where she brought out a kit to treat Angel."And so?" Angel asked still showing his displeasure. Florentine placed the kit on the table while Angel sat on the couch before it."She's lonely by herself."What? I never said that. Florentine! I cursed her in my head. I wanted to call her out for lying but I remembered her threat on our way here."I don't care, send her away." How cold? Wasn't he teasing me in the morning at the hallway? Now he was acting all mean. "It's just blood Angel. She can handle it." Florentine wasn't backing out. I just didn't get why she brought me here. "Just get it over with and leave." He said undressing his bandage. Florentine had offered to help but he declined.
