Chapter 33DanzelI stared at her sleeping form. She had her arms around me clutching me tightly, too afraid to let me go. She is so innocent for this dirty world. My grip on her waist tightened at the thought of what she has been through. How can someone hurt her? My little angel was hurt. She looks so perfect in masking her emotions. I was aware that she had a rough past, but this, so bad? I was seconds away from losing my anger at that moment. But the sweet angel crying in my arms held me. I sighed as I brushed my fingers through her hair.Oh, love, what you're doing to me?I felt my insides tighten at the thought of leaving her. I could never do that. Leaving her is something, I can't afford. She is the first thing I want to think about. She has become my habit, a habit I don't plan on getting rid of. The day I touched her, I tasted her. I swear to god it was f*cking hard to not her take her there, the way she reacts to my touch, the way she squirms and shivers, makes me feel some
Angelina"Hello, son."I heard Susan's gasp. Danzel's height was blocking the view of the man there. The whole living room was silent. All the men were standing uptight. Danzel was standing rigid, gripping the door handle tightly. Philip tugged my arm and pointed towards the kitchen, signaling me to go inside. I was confused by the situation so, I followed him."What is going on?" I asked him as soon as we ended up away from them.Philip runs a hand over his face in frustration and sighed,"Look, Angelina," Philip peeped over his shoulder and then continued, "I can't really tell you now. But don't come out unless Yara or Susan tells you to okay? The man out there is not someone you would like to be introduced to."Before I could speak, Paul called out Philip and he walked out.I stood there alone in the kitchen, not knowing what to be done.Susan walked in and as soon as she stepped into the kitchen, she sighed loudly."That man can be so annoying sometimes.""What is going on, Susan,
AngelinaI frowned at the message flashing across my screen, contemplating whether to delete it or not. I deleted the first two messages but didn't tell Danzel. His day was already ruined by the arrival of his father so I didn't want to pressure him more. And Danzel had given me this phone, so no one had this number. Maybe it's a prank or someone was texting the wrong number. I even didn't have any psycho ex-boyfriend who would try to mess around. I rolled my eyes at the thought and was about to delete it but my phone vibrated with another message with the same number,I'm sure you would delete this one as well,But it's for you good if you stay away from him. - Unknown.I was shocked. Him? Who is it talking about? I stared at the screen for a few minutes. Should I call? Or text?? What if it's a wrong number? But what if it's really someone who wants to tell me something?At last, curiosity tipped in and I typed,Who's this? What do you want? -A.The reply was instant,Someone who want
With a long chapter. Unedited though so feel free to point out mistakes.--- AngelinaI stared at the person standing at his full height. It's been years, years I had lost count on. My father, my daddy, my hero, my idol was standing in front of me. Black hair is now replaced with a bald head. He had grown a beard which made him look older. I could, still, faintly remember the day he had walked out of the house, never once looking back, never turning around to see that his little princess was crying for him. I waited for him to come, come back to me. He had promised to never leave me, to protect me from everything. He had so much to make it up to. He'd never let me cry before but after his departure, I spent hours in my bedroom crying for him. I never knew the reason why he left my mother and me. I had an idea that it wasn't something simple. But till date, my mother never spoke about it. He went away, walked out like we never mattered to him. He looked the same, just old. The warmth,
AngelinaI woke up to find Danzel's side empty. I opened one eye half to see the time. It was already past eight. Just as I was about to get up, Danzel walked in through the front door, shirtless. He had worn his jogging pants. Surely he should be returning from his gym. How much does this guy really work out? The sweat dripping from his hair, sweaty muscles....oh god! I gulped at the site."Good morning!" he walked over, sitting next to me on the bed."Good morning!" I smiled at him.He bends down to kiss me but I turned my face away making him groan in displeasure."No, no. I have morning breath, no kissing me." I said pushing him by his chest.He rolled his eyes. Taking my hands in one of his, he pinned them above my head and took my jaw in his hand, making me look at him."Nothing can stop me from kissing these..." he said tracing my lips with his fingers.My lips immediately parted at the touch of his cold fingers.His gaze shifted from my eyes to my now dry lips, blue eyes darke
AngelinaI tossed in my bed and tried to sleep. My mind couldn't stop thinking about Danzel and Scarlett. It kept replaying the scene about watching them walk out. I was in the kitchen helping Yara when Susan entered with Philip by her side. My smile vanished when I saw Scarlett, walking in with a plastered smile on her face. I was stunned at her beauty. The dress looked magnificent on her as she swayed her hips. But when my eyes landed on the man beside her, my stomach dropped. Jealousy washed over my heart when I saw them walk away. I had my back towards them when they were leaving but I could feel the intense gaze of blue eyes staring at me. I had the urge to walk at him and yell but didn't. The way James Parker had praised her beauty and how lovely Danzel and Scarlett looked together was not a compliment for Scarlett, but was indirect, a taunt to me. The comment and the look James Parker gave me didn't go unnoticed by Danzel, but what surprised me was that Danzel was silent the w
AngelinaAn hour later..."Oh my f*cking shit!" exclaimed Susan as she saw me walking down the stairs. I smiled at her reaction. After storming up two hours earlier, firstly I straight away went and took a cold shower relaxing my mind which was planning ways I could kill Scarlett. And then sat in front of the mirror and put my hands on the makeup kit which I barely touched. But every time I was done, I ended up feeling too much and then would minimize a little. In the end, I just applied some mascara and rose pink lipstick and was satisfied. And about the dress, it wasn't mine. Susan had once lent me a few dresses which were a bit tight for her. I never really touched them because they were either too short or showed much of my skin. I wasn't properly tanned and the scars made it impossible for me to wear something which would make them visible. But today, I had planned something new. It wasn't something sexy or more revealing but it was definitely out of my type. White leaf cut crop
AngelinaAs soon as the door was shut, Danzel pushed me against the wall and smashed his lips on mine. A groan escaped his lips as his tongue met mine. I tugged on his hair and pulled him closely, wrapping my legs around his waist. His hand shot to the back of my head as he held me firmly. My hands went to his shirt, undoing his buttons before running my fingers down his perfectly fine abs. He groaned into my mouth and in one flash my white top was ripped away from my body.I gasped in shock,"Danzel, it was Susan's.""I'll buy her a new one." He said hurriedly and latched his mouth on my neck, sucking it and nibbling it.He pulled me away from the wall and walked towards the bed, stripping me in the process. He stared at me while I lay down on the bed, breathless. His blue eyes darkened as he stared at my naked body, making me squirm under his intense gaze."You're a wonderful masterpiece, love." He said as he leaned into me, kissing me."Give me a number." He said leaning back a lit
Did you think I'd write a bonus chapter and not let Danzel speak? >.
ANGELINA -Five years later...I scrunched my eyelids when the light hit my face. Shifting in displeasure, I snuggled into a warm body. Arms went around me and I sighed, instantly welcoming the intimacy. The arms tightened around me and then the fingers spread, slowly tracing my back. I groaned and moved closer, wanting to sleep more but the man had different plans. He brought his face closer to my hair and breathed out. Straightway, a shiver ran over my body and a small chuckle echoed through the silent room.I looked up and glared."Good morning," Danzel said hoarsely with a beautiful smile on his face."Let go of me," I grumbled and moved back.He laughed loudly at my expression and propped himself to face me. "Someone's grumpy.""I hate you," I said and snuggled into a pillow.I was pushed onto the bed and a sleepy Danzel hovered above me. He scraped his stubble over my neck and planted a kiss."Danzel," I said pushing him in vain.His lips traveled up and then he kissed me. his l
ANGELINA - I screamed until my throat coughed out dry air. Mike's body fell on the ground with a loud thud; his eyes wide open in shock stared at the ceiling. My heartbeats fastened under my rib cage.I stared at the man, unaware of what Ace was doing. I heard him curse loudly and then I looked up.If I was afraid of him before, I was terrified of him now. His green eyes were hauntingly staring at me. I didn't dare to move a muscle.I slowly watched Ace drag Mike's body through the living room behind the couch. Just a few hours ago, this man fed me, saved me from Ace, and now, he lay dead in the same house."Look what you made me do!" Ace spoke finally.I was too scared to say anything. My eyes stayed glued to the smeared red on the floor. Mike's blood felt like accusing me, shouting at me for his life."I was going to give you an easy death," Ace said coming closer, "But now, you have to pay for the mess you made."And after that, a loud smack resonated through the room and I fell b
ANGELINA -I woke up to loud screaming. My eyelids felt heavy against my eyeballs and I struggled to open them. The pulse near my head throbbed painfully. I heard Ace shouting something and finally, I opened my eyes. The man, who was friends with Ace, was saying something. I saw Ace breathing fast, the man was telling him to calm down.A loud groan escaped my mouth and both the heads snapped at me."The bitch's awake," Ace snickered."Oh thank god," the man sighed and got up. He brought a bottle towards my mouth and I moved my head aside. I wasn't drinking whatever this man was forcefully shoving."It's just water," he grumbled, "Drink!"This time he took my jaw between his fingers and tilted the bottle. I wasn't going to drink it but as soon as it hit my throat, I gladly welcomed the water.Once he was done, he pulled away from the bottle and checked my jaw. The cuts along my cheek stung when he dabbed his fingers in it. I shut my eyes and hissed in pain."Christ," he swore and pulle
DANZEL -"We can also put up something for collateral if you wish to, Mr. Parker?"I shook my head, "There won't be any need for that, Mr. Simon. I am sure I can trust your word."He smiled and then handed me the paper, I took out my pen and finalized the deal."We look forward to having business with you, Mr. Parker." He said shaking my hand."As long as everyone's happy," I said and smiled.All the other members got up and I walked toward my office. My fingers immediately searched for my phone and I checked it. No reply from Angelina, which means she was upset. Philip walked in with some files in his hand."Are we going home straight?" he asked me, "Or are you planning on catching up with some drinks with the client?""My girl's upset because I hung up on her, what do you say I should do?" I said while looking at the details in the file."Is it?" he laughed, "Definitely the girl, boss.""What did my sunshine do this time?" Creed spoke while strolling behind."Nothing new," I murmure
ANGELINA -I heard faint murmuring. The pain in my head echoed through the depths of my mind. I wanted to massage my head and squeeze it between my fingers to try and lessen the pain. The scrutinizing agony made me want to crawl somewhere safe, in the warmth I needed.My eyes fluttered open and I blinked them. My face was covered in sweat and my hands, I couldn't move them.Gritting my teeth in pain, I moved my head and looked around. There were many people around me, shuffling and some sitting quietly.I was on a plane. I looked over to my left and saw no one. My mind was dizzy, my entire body felt heavy as I struggled to call the air hostess. I strained my neck and pat the seat next to me to get her attention.She looked over at me and smiled, "How are you feeling, Ms. Jones?"Ms. Jones?No!"I want-" I struggled to say.She leaned in to listen to me but then a hand stopped her. Through my heavy lids, I saw him saying something to her and she watched me with sympathy."So sorry to he
ANGELINA - The next few days were the best days of my life. After everyone found out about my pregnancy, they were overjoyed about it. Yara started taking extra care of me and she'd worry about small things. The love they showered upon me was overwhelming.Danzel was a whole another story. He was always being careful about me. He started cutting off his working hours in order to spend more time with me.Three days ago, Danzel and I moved on the ground floor. The experience was amazing. He was possessive about me but he was protective when it came to our baby. He'd be a great father, I was sure of it."Okay, it's been ten minutes and you are staring blankly at me and it's freaking me out." Susan's voice snapped me from my trance. I smiled apologetically. "What are you thinking?" she asked me."About you people, actually. You all have been really helpful to me."She rolled her eyes at me, "Are you kidding me?" walking toward me and sat down. "You are family, Angel.""Thank you!" I said
ANGELINA -"Come on, Angelina," Danzel called out, "We are going to be late.""Don't you dare start with that!" I said, glaring at him from the mirror as I fixed my hair, "I was ready thirty minutes ago. You jumped on me as soon you saw me."He laughed at my words, "Don't make it sound like that. I know you enjoyed it."I snorted at his words and saw him walking closer. He narrowed his eyes at me playfully and pressed himself. Groaning at his action, I pushed him back."Go back; I won't let you mess up my hair again.""It's not my fault that you look so damn sexy," he whispered huskily, "I am a man with thin patience."I breathed in to control my nerves and looked at him, "Yeah? Well, I tend to have a lot of patience.""What's gotten into you these days?" Danzel said, rubbing his hand up and down my waist, "You are all snappy and everything."With my teeth clenched tightly, I said, "If you don't like me then say it."Danzel looked at me for a second before turning me around. I gasped
ANGELINA —"What?""I think it's time for you to leave, Scarlett," Susan said stepping closer."It's not your house, Susan," Scarlett said bitterly."Well, it is mine." I heard Fiona saying, "And I want you to leave this instant."Scarlett glared at Fiona and then looked at me, "We had crazy nights where your death didn't matter."My mouth felt dry at her words. Was it true? Did he really sleep with her multiple times?"Angel—""I am going to the garden," I said and ran quickly.The garden was the same as I had left it. The sweet scent of the flowers made me sigh. I walked over and sat on the bench. My mind replayed her words.We had crazy nights where your death didn't matter.Didn't it? Was he really moving on with his life? Of course, he would've. I had left for San Diego to leave him alone, to live a life that didn't involve him. I did live my life without him. I had an apartment of my own, I earned my money. I moved on and I lived my life but not like he did. He moved on by sleep
