Angelina I stood there staring at the walls; my brain was still processing what had happened. I have never let any man enter my personal space till now. Of course, I've had crushed in the past but I remember never being so dumbstruck in front of a guy I just met.I should have slapped him for just walking in while I was naked but my mind and my body betrayed me. Instead of pushing me away, I let him hold me against me. It was like my body liked his touch, his minty breath, and mostly his piercing blue eyes. The way those beautiful pair of eyes stared at me, eyeing me up and down, I felt myself trembling under the intense gaze. My mind started coming up with all the excuses for my inappropriate behavior, maybe it was his looks. Yes, it was only because he was handsome and sexy or maybe it was because I liked his tense, hard muscles, the way his lips were almost there too—Oh god, Angel! Get a grip!! Stupid girl, stupid hormones, I scolded myself.Not soon did I feel my stomach churnin
Angelina“Yes now you belong to me my angel"His words kept ringing in my ears.Tears pricked my eyes as I stared at the bookshelf behind him. My eyes darted towards the room and then I gasped in shock.The room, the closet-"How is this room planned exactly like I wanted it to be?" I asked him, "How is that possible?""I have my ways. "He said shrugging off.My ways? What ways? It wasn't possible to know everything I liked unless my eyes widened at the realization when I joined all the pieces together."It was you, wasn't it? You were stalking me this whole time, right?" I asked him, my heart palpitating under my ribcage.He didn't answer but instead, smirked in response.My anger rose. "You are a sick man, you know that?" I said harshly. "How dare you do this to me! You are a pathetic, obsessive, and ruthless monster. "I yelled at his face.Hearing my words, his eyes darkened. "Shut up!" He shouted and punched the wall in rage. A whimper left my life at his voice. My blood ran cold
AngelinaI blinked open my eyes and stared at the white ceiling. A faint throbbing at the back of my head made me his. I did not move but tried to remember what had happened. I remember Danzel leaving the house and I tried to escape, he came and found me hanging down, and thenOh god, I fell!Crap! Danzel going to kill me!He told me not to leave the room and I tried to run. My heart raced at the thought of him hurting my family for my actions. And if that ever happens, I don't think I'll ever handle that. I glanced at my state and then gasped. I had bruises over my body, my foot was bandaged but it did not hurt when I moved it slightly.I stopped moving completely when the door opened and Danzel walked in. He was busy looking at some papers in his hand so he didn't acknowledge that I was awake. So instead of making my presence known, I took in his appearance. Felt droplets of water dripping from his hair. He had his coffee in one hand and papers in the other. He walked over to the cou
AngelinaMy sleep was disturbed when my phone rang just beneath my pillow which made me jump in my sleep and jolt up on the bed, my heart thumping vigorously in my chest. I glared at the screen and then snapped,"What?""Good morning, sunshine!" Creed's voice rang through the speaker. I groaned in annoyance. God, how can he be so cheerful?"Morning!" I grumbled. "Why did you call?""Well, Danzel called me and said you wanted to go out somewhere.""Did he now?" I asked yawning loudly."Yes, he did. Now get up and get ready because it's ten in the morning.""Okay," I mumbled.I leaned my face on my hands and closed my eyes. Last night, my eyes closed around two in the morning. I kept thinking about him, about our kiss. My fingers went over and grazed my lips, feeling a strange feeling growing inside. He kissed me. The feeling was nothing compared to what Lexi had described to me. It was more than that; it was more intense and deep. My thoughts were interrupted by the buzzing of my phon
Angelina -"Thomas".I whispered in shock.What is he doing here? Oh god, what if Danzel sees him here?"Angelina," Thomas breathed out, "Where have you been?""Uh--""Forget it," he said suddenly, "let's get you out of here.""Wait!" I stopped him."What?""He's there outside waiting for me, "I whispered frighteningly."Who?" Thomas asked confusingly."Dan—" I stopped and then spoke, "my kidnapper!"Thomas clenched his fist, probably sensing the terror in my eyes, and then assured me, "He won't catch you. I won't let him, okay?"I nodded.I slowly peeped out of the washroom to see whether Danzel was there nearby. There was no sign of Danzel. Maybe he must be waiting for me in the store.I turned around and nodded at Thomas, "He's not there."As soon as the words left my mouth, Thomas took my hand, pulled me by his side, and walked out. I kept my head down, blood rushing through my system faster than usual. We stopped by the elevator and then stood in between the crowd."Hey, it's oka
Danzel "Fuck!"I cursed loudly and threw the lamp on the wall, shattering it into pieces.I drank the remaining bourbon from the glass and crushed it in my hands, and watched the blood dripping from my hand. The pain multiplied the anger I felt boiling up my senses.She is right, I am a monster. How could I do that thing? How did my own bloody hands hurt my Angelina?"Fuck! Fuck, I am a monster, fucking heartless beast." I repeated her words aloud.I had never hurt any women in my life, never laid hands on any of them but still I hurt the only one who was close to me, who mattered to me.I sat on the couch holding my head in my bleeding hand. As soon as I closed my eyes, her face flashed through my mind, recollecting everything that happened today.I was scared when she didn't come out of the washroom. The thought of her being hurt by any of my enemies made my hands fist. I hurried to the washroom and called her from outside. But when there was no response from the other side, I went
Angelina-I groaned when the sunlight fell on my eyes. I turned my head sideways and then tried to block it by pillow but then, at last, got up.My body ached, my back especially stung like hell. I moved from the bed and stepped on the floor but flinched in pain when my bare foot touched the floor. Limping myself, I walked into the bathroom. When I saw myself in the mirror, I gasped in shock.Oh god! I look like some zombie!My lips were swollen, my neck had bruises all over it and my arm was bandaged.I don't remember bandaging myself; then who was it?I leaned over the counter and then my mind remembered everything that happened. I remember having a dream about Danzel, I think he woke up, and then I insisted him to stay.Oh god, how can I be so sick?It was Danzel who was the one to beat me in the first place and now, I made him comfort me.Jesus! What I am going to do with myself?I had trouble taking shower because every time the water hit the wounds, it would sting like hell. The
AngelinaIt has been two weeks since I last saw Danzel. Two weeks since I came to know about Thomas's death. I cried every night. I couldn't accept the fact that he killed my friend. I knew he was a dangerous man but never did I ever think that he will try to do something like this. Even though he's mafia, he shouldn't kill the innocent one. No one has the right to kill them.I lazily got up and went towards the bathroom. My face looked like hell. My eyes were swollen, deep red from crying. So instead of a shower, I took a warm bath. I felt my muscles relaxing when I sat in the tub. After sitting there for what seemed like hours, I got up and dried up. I got ready and went downstairs. I was very hungry. I guess I had eaten 24 hours before. I descended the stairs and stood silently on the last one.Silence greeted me.Where is he? Is he gone already?Nodding to myself, I walked down.Good for me.I went into the kitchen. There was a plate covered and a glass of juice on the table. It al
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
