"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.
AngelAfter what seemed like a rejection from Thea the day I bared myself before her as vulnerabe, I experienced a mix of emotions. Anger, detest for my longing, desperation to have her, frustration and the smearing feeling of depression. I felt dejected, unworthy. I thought about everything I had done to her so far and I had two words to describe my actions ...heartless monster! I was selfish and greedy at the same time. Having even a tiny hope that she could look at me as a man to be desired. I knew she loved how I handled her body. I understood her when feeding her with blazing passion. She made me feel like I was her best sex and like the only man who could satisfy her to her core. Maybe I was too confident in my looks, or I was just helplessly hopeless that she would be attracted to me. Maybe I saw the signals upside down. For some stupid reason, the way she looked at me, reacted when I was around and the bits of concerns she had shown me all the while, I had them all confus
Angel's men as well as Lola's men had searched every part of the house to make sure there wasn't anyone hidden or any dirty business in one corner of the mansion but Sparrow didn't come short of expectations. He had some men locked down.They were Manuel's men. Angel and Knight had taken Thea home. Knight had spoken with Cassandra since the chaos was over. She was worried sick about the situation snd when she was told the goodnews she was so excited. The rest didn't hold back.Camila and Florentine wanted to hear Thea's voice to be certain that Knight wasn't lying. The gasp of relieve and tears over the phone just said how heartbroken and worried they had been about the situation. Thea's mum had been informed of Thea's rescue also, so she hurried to the mansion. Alfred and scott went along with her too. When they finally arived the compound, everyone was outside. Cassandra was the first to run into into Angel's arms, Camila and Florentine had gone to hug Thea, Camila's hug was prol
As Natalia fired shots at the wall and ground, the sparks ignited the nearby fuel canister. The fuel spilled onto the old, dry wood, and the fire spread quickly. The temperature in the room increased, causing the smoke to become thick and black.Angel and Thea panicked, covering their mouths to avoid inhaling the toxic fumes. "We need to leave here, or we'll burn!" Angel yelled.Natalia, realizing her mistake, hastily tried to find an escape. But the fire had already blocked the entrance, and the old wooden structure was beginning to collapse. The sound of cracking wood and falling fragments filled the air."We need to leave here or we'll burn." Angel said holding Thea's hand."There's no way out." She panicked, scared to go through the fire. Angel had to get her to calm down so he cupped her face in his palms. "Now isn't the time for talking my love. I believe we'll make it out. Just trust me. You have to be fast." He said and even though Thea was scared, she knew Angel would do ev
TheaI held my breath at the countdown. This had to be the scariest moment of my life. I didn't know what to expect, how being blown up would feel. Would I feel the pain or would it happen so quickly that I wouldn't feel a thing? I guess it was painless because everything here was silent. Maybe it was peaceful on the otherside.... But then a gasp echoed and I heard Angel's voice sobbing, his hands hugging my legs. It felt so real. "Open your eyes...." His voice was as real as ever. I heard the sound of air in the room, almost like my senses were heightened. The smell of fuel returned to my nostrils.Slowly, I opened my eyes to see Angel, his eyes filled with tears, his entire expression showing relieve. I let out a sharp sigh as I took in the picture of my sorrounding. My breath got deeper and my heart constricted. I began to tear up. I looked at Angel, I wanted to touch him, my hands were still tied to the chair but just seeing him was everything to me. "Angel...." I cried as te
As Angel ran to the cell where Natalia had left Thea, he noticed that Rico left him. Son of a bitch heard there was little time left and decided to save himself instead.By the time Angel arrived, Thea was sweating heavily and tearing up bitterly. His heart breaks even more seeing her condition and hearing the beeping sound of the bomb. Everything became more real. It was now a fact that if he didn't work fast he'd be losing the most important person in his life. "Thea!" He yelled wasting no time to run to her. Thea remained frozen for some seconds, wondering if he was real. Her chest began rising and falling heavily realizing he was real. Angel had come to save her. "A-Angel" She cries out his name, a wave of relieve washing through her. "Thea...." He muttered and his eyes quickly studied the bomb. He noticed that someone had already began the work and putting two things together it had to be the man that gave him the direction. "Angel there isn't much time left." She cried, tr
After Angel and Rico had seen the footage of where Natalia had taken Thea to, they immediately went to her rescue. Rico led the way as he knew the place better than Angel. On the other hand, Natalia was hurrying out of the place looking behind her with each corner she took knowing that the guard she had left behind would be running aftet her. She was going to shut the metal gate so that when he got to the entrance, he wouldn't have an escape. While she ran, the sound of hasty footsteps caught her attention and she gradually came to a halt from her flight. Her soul almost left her seeing Angel and the head security. At first, she was relieved to see that Angel was alive but soon shock enveloped her and she became confused to see the head security with Angel. They were not even close to knowing each other, so why were they together? Angel and Rico also came to a halt seeing Natalia. In that moment, Angel felt like his entire world had been turned upside down seeing the gun in Natal
My tears were unstoppable, I felt great pity for myself and I had never felt so scared in my life. With everything I had been through, I didn't deserve to die like this. I wanted to live and I wanted to be happy. I had lived my life pleasing others, If I could get one more chance to live, I would put myself first. I would spend the rest of my life with Angel and I wouldn't care about other people's opinion. Please... Just one more chance. I prayed while sobbing profusely as the clock kept ticking. I worried about Angel, he'd be so heartbroken if anything happened to me. He risked his life to save me today and he couldn't even be with me in my last moments. Then my mum, I knew she'd never forgive herself should I lose my life. Nothing would console her once I was gone.A lot of people would be hurt. This wasn't supposed to happen. I kept shedding tears, crying aloud like a kid. I grieved myself even before I blew up. I wanted to live, I really wanted to live. "I don't want to
TheaI didn't trust Natalia for even a second, when she made the proposal to Sparrow to take me to his safe room, I knew something had to be wrong but then, Sparrow trusted her. Choosing between her and sparrow was like choosing between two evil. I would have protested against going with her but staying with Sparrow and such number of guards wasn't a risk I wanted to take. If someone was to rescue me, it would be easier with Natalia but then Natalia hated me. Sparrow would only kill me by error but Natalia would do that in a heartbeat if she wanted to. It was a confusing situation and my fears were starting to become a reality. "Natalia where are you taking me to?" I asked, fear gripping my entire being when we started going a long pathway that looked abandoned. What kind of safe was this? It looked like where someone would never be found. Natalia had kept silent while the guard that came with us kept dragging me into the place. The stench of this place was terrible, I didn't t
After the phone call with Sparrow at the mansion that day, Angel assigned duties to his men, and they immediately sprang into action. They successfully tracked down the location where the video was sent from, but they were unable to trace the phone call. One crucial detail they discovered was that the location was near a gun company.The men made inquiries at the gun company to determine who had recently purchased guns. The records showed that the guns were bought under Don Ricardo's name, which raised suspicions. Angel wondered if this was why Lola hadn't been answering her calls. He wouldn't blame her if she chose not to betray her father again but he couldn't understand how Don Ricardo could be involved in this.The next day, Lola contacted Angel and arrived at the mansion. To Angel's surprise, Don Ricardo had not bought the guns. Sparrow had used his name, and what shocked Angel the most was that Sparrow had kidnapped his own father. Lola told Angel that it seemed her father had b
Thea is dragged in by Sparrow's men and the moment she sees Angel, she gasps in fear. Tears well up in her eyes and she soon tears start streaming down her face."Thea." Angel called, impulsively going to her but he is stopped from going closer."Angel!" She yells when Sparrow's men begin to kick him in the belly. Sparrow just relaxes back on his seat enjoying the sight. Thea struggles to get to Angel unable to hold back the pain she felt from seeing him hurt. He groaned in pain from the several kicks that came at him but that didn't matter to him. He just hated seeing Thea cry so bitterly for him. He kept his gaze locked on her while they beat him up.She was his strength. "I told you not to come so why?" She cried once they left him. He was willing to lay his life down to secure her freedom and she was willing to be Sparrow's play thing and live with him for the rest of her life as long as it kept Angel alive. To her, her freedom wasn't worth his life. A scream erupts from her t
