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.
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
