Chapter 3- how it started

***********

"How dare you utter such! I am not getting rid of my baby and that's final, so do your worst." Kelly said out of spite.

"You little bitch, be very careful with your words. You don't want me to remind you what am capable of. You know I have no limits when it comes getting what I want." Demion threatened.

"Your threats mean nothing to me anymore. I've told you to do your worst." Kelly said. Her feet were practically trembling in fear. Her body was ice cold and goosebumps filled her body. She tried to seem tough on the outside, but within her, she knew how evil the man standing at her front is. She turned to leave the room but he caught hold of her arm.

"Let go. You're hurting me." She mustered, trying to free herself from his tight grip.

"Don't try to fight it. I know how much you're dying to have me to yourself. Even going to the extent of betraying your sweet sister. But don't worry, I'm not a total monster to abandon you. It is also my child we're talking about here anyway. So let's try and finish what we started. And once we're out of here with all the money, you and the baby and I can finally have a good life." He said, loosening his grip a bit.

"You're evil." She sobbed.

"Yeh yeh. But guess which idiot is stupidly obsessed with this evil guy. Kelly my dear, you're really pathetic you know that. Now be a good girl and put up a nice act for me out there." She tried releasing herself from his grip again but to no success.

"Remember, if you try anything stupid or if this plan fails, you'll be as dead as that thing you call a child you're carrying there." He pushed her, making her lose balance and falling to the floor. She continued to sob and cursed him as he made his way to exit.

"What is going on here?" Angel questioned. Blocking Demion on his exit.

"Babiiie... Nothing's going on. Actually I was on my way to get you, I think your sister is having a breakdown. I was out to get some drink when I saw her crying on the floor and she won't tell me anything. Maybe she can talk to you."

"Kelly, is he telling the truth? what really happened to you?" Angel asked after a long suspicious stare at both her sister and Demion.

"Oh sis... it... it's nothing. I think I sprained my ankle while rushing to pick up my phone, I tripped and fell and it hurt so bad. I think my knee is wounded." Angel went closer to take a better look at her knee.

"You knee seems fine. Maybe you just had it in your head. Get up." Angel said coldly. She didn't seem convinced about her sisters excuse for a wounded knee. She didn't even try helping her up, she turned around and made for an exit without looking at both of them.

*******

"Do you think she found out? My God, don't tell me she must have overheard our conversation?" Kelly panicked, asking the same questions repeatedly.

"Shut your trap! You better pray she didn't because you'll be the one to suffer it more. How do you think they'll look at you after now?" He threatened, but he rather seemed nervous. he was more afraid of Angel than any one else in the family.

"Oh...let me try and phrase it for you, "The perfect little sweet daughter getting pregnant for her only sisters fiance and allying with him to fraud her dear family of all their wealth." He jammed Angel on the door way as he turned to leave. Her face was filled with shock. She was completely speechless. Her eyes were filled with hot salty tears, but she tried so hard to fight them back.

"You... you're preg... pregnant?" She stammered. Kelly herself couldn't bare the disappointed look on her sisters face.

"I can explain... Angel please." She sobbed but only to meet a hateful stare from her sister.

"Angel! Angel! Babe!" Demion called after her as she ran off.

Demion finally caught up to her and pushed her, she tripped, hitting her head on the wall before landing on the floor.

"What are you doing?" She muttered in fear as he walked closer to her. Only the look she saw in his eyes sent her soul out of her body. She had never known Demion to be violent. She was completely frightened. She tried crawling away with the little strength she had but to no success. He reached to her, grabbing her like as if he were grabbing an object.

"Where do you think you're going. Huh...tell me ..." He said, shaking and dragging her in all directions which made her feel dizy.

"Let go... you're hurting me." She begged, trying to escape from his grip.

She struggled more and more but all seemed to make her grow weaker.

He continued to drag her.

She felt helpless that she couldn't think of any escape plan. In her mind she knew if he succeed in dragging her to whatsoever destination he had in mind, she was done for.

Reaching to the guest room entrance, her hand grabbed a baseball stick which she had just come back with from practice. She dropped the equipments there when she came looking Demion but didn't find him in his room.

She quickly drew him back from dragging her to the room with all her strength. As he turned to get hold of her, he was faced with the wrath of the stick. She hit him twice, then the third to make sure he wouldn't catch up to her as she ran for her life.

*********

"Darling, what's wrong, why so much tears. Did you have a fight with Demion again?" Angel ran into her mom on her way to escape from the pain.

"Why me mom, why me, I gave him everything thing, I loved him with all my heart..." She sobbed.

"But what did I get in return mom?" She sobbed more.

"You're scaring me baby, did he cheat on you? that scumbag..."

"What's all the rocket and drama, can't someone ask for some peace and quiet for once and get it." That was her father being sarcastic as usual. He was the most loving and playful father and husband.

"You were right Dad. You were right about him all along." Angel sobbed more, regretting all the warning her dad had gaving her about Demion about being after either her beauty or money, but she took it as him being him- over protective and always thinking that was what all men wanted. Apart from Mr William stereotyping all her suitors as gold diggers, he always did get a bad vibe from Demion.

"But this time is not just him. Quick, you need to call the police." She said as she struggled for air.

"That won't be necessary my dear. Because nobody gets in or out." Demion said pulling out a gun.

"You little brat. How dare you. In my own house." Mr William was enraged. Unlike the others, he was fearless. He stood his ground.

"Don't make me pull the trigger you pathetic old man." He threatened, cocking the gun and his index finger on the trigger.

"You wouldn't dare." He said confidently. Mr William on the inside was terrified. But he couldn't display his weakness in front of his family. He looked each one after the other and saw the fear on their faces turning to hope as they hoped in him.

"Not another step or I'll shoot you." Demion threatened as Mr William took few steps towards him.

In conclusion, Mr William ended up getting shot and took his last breath in the arms of his dear wife. Few weeks later, Mrs Williams accompanied her husband to the grave from depression and heart failure, leaving her two daughters as orphans. Demion flee with the little cash he found in Mr Williams' room. Kelly on the other hand was bailed from jail by Angel few weeks after being arrested without being trialed.

Angel had Mercy on her because of her unborn child, but made her sign a contract stating that she'd never come anywhere near her or step foot in any of their father's properties. The contract also offered her a few million dollars as long as she wouldn't near even their parents grave.

Ever since, all the Williams businesses, properties and belongings were temporary signed in Angel's name and she never heard from her Demion or her sister until now.

Angel continued to have nightmares about that night. It played in her dreams and memory like it just happened the previous day.

Sometimes she would feel unnecessary guilt about Kelly but didn't know why. She questioned herself if she might have been blinded by the grief and pain she felt that time and wouldn't give her sister a listening ear.
