Angela looked down at her lap, shame coursing through her. "I know it's a lot," she said, her voice small. “It was used to settle some loan sharks, my immediate younger sister Kerry took a loan from them to gamble”.“A sister you said?”Damon asked in surprise.“Yeah she is that wild”.Damon sighed.“Fine, I will settle the debt”.“What!”Angela felt a rush, she immediately shook her head, a wave of guilt washing over her. "No, Damon," she said. "You can't do that. It's not your responsibility. I'm the one who made the deal with Antonio. I have to be the one to deal with the consequences."Damon looked at her, his expression serious. “Really you love that he toys with you?" he said with a frown.“No ….it's just that…I don't want to be a burden to you”.She replied."Well, I don't want you to be under Antonio's thumb anymore,and don't worry about being a burden to me...I will be more than happy to help you"he replied.Angela cheeks stained."But I don't want you to put yourself in a
“Angela".Damon said huskily, his voice barely above a whisper. "There's something I need to tell you.Angela turned to face him, her eyes full of concern."Yes?”She asked, her heart pounding in her chest.“You owe me a kiss last time, remember?”He flashed a flirty smile at her.A look of surprise flashed across Angela's face, but it was quickly replaced by a soft shy smile."I didn't expect you to day that out of no where".She giggled, her face red.“So then can we kiss now?”Damon replied staring at her lips.Angela gaze at the driver and security at the front seat,her cheeks stained with embrassment.“I..I..”Damon rolled his eyes and pulled gently closer to him.“Are you being shy again?”“No I am not”.She snapped in embrassment.Gently Damon cupped her small face in his arms.Angela's heart raced nervously,she closed her eyes and slightly opened her lips but kissed her on the lips without parting his mouth.It was a simple kiss, and Angela wanted more.She blinked severally t
“You will pay?”Angela's eyes widened, she sat up to get a good look at him.“Yeah..I will enrol your siblings in the best school so don't sweat it, I will do that for you.You say the word and I will make the arrangements immediately," he said with his gentle tone."That's a lot of work," Angela said, her brow furrowing. "And I don't want you to have to do all of that for me."Damon rolled his eyes ‘here we go again’."It's not a chore, Angela," Damon said. "It's my pleasure, I want to help you. You're my responsibility now, and I want to make sure you're safe. I can't bear the thought of you being in danger or wrapped around the arms of that brat".He said tightly.Angela chuckled,her eyes welled up with tears. She didn't know what to say. She'd never had someone care for her like this before without demanding anything in return. It was overwhelming, but in a good way. She knew she could trust Damon, and that meant more to her than she could ever express."I don't know what to say,"
Angela's twin nieces,Liya and Lia, were standing in the front yard when their car pulled up. They looked a little confused and scared because of the unrecognized car until Angela got down from the car."Angela!" Liya cried, her eyes bright with excitement. "I'm so glad you're home!”Lia cried out loudly.They hugged her legs, nearly knocking her off balance. Angela bent down and scooped them up in her arms, squeezing them tight. "I've missed you so much, my bunnies," she said, her heart overflowing with love. "We’ve missed you too," they replied nuzzling into her neck. "I've been lonely without you guys." Angela smiled, her eyes shining with tears.Their screams attracted Jace's attention he came out of the house and going them hugging Angela.. "You look so different,"Liya added, her eyes taking in Angela's pale face and body. "What happened?"Lia asked desperately.Angela laughed. "It's a long story," she said, "but I'll tell you all about it later. Right now, I just want to
Antonio pulled up in front of Angela's house, his breath coming in gasps,his heart racing. Unlike before the house was dry and quiet,there were noticeable changes too but his mind was too occupied to point out the details.He quickly ran up the front steps and pounded on the door violently,as though he was pouring out his rage. He could feel his pulse thundering in his ears. “Open the god-damned door!’He yelled.There was no answer, and he pounded again, desperation welling up inside of him."Angela!" He banged on the door again and again."Angela! You can't hide from me! We made an agreement bitch!"He pounded on the door again.He heard a muffled sound coming from inside the house, and his heart skipped.Was that Angela? He banged on the door again, calling out her name.“Angela!” He was about to break down the door when he heard footsteps approaching.He spun around, his chest heaving ,the door opened slowly but unfortunately,it wasn't Angela nor was it her brother.A middle
Antonio's head snapped up, his expression shifted from anger to shock. He dropped the maid and dash out of the room heading outside. His heart is racing!How could she come back to a place she hated so much?Did she change her mind?Outside the building Angela stepped out of the car, surprised to see each and everyone of the servants with their faces glued to the floor in a bow,shaking and silent cries whispering in the air.The thick blood stain across the floor.Damon got out of the car too, he exchanged glances with Angela like they communicated words to each other.He walked to her and took her hands.Just then the main entrance door was pushed open with a force.Antonio was standing there frozen for a second,as if he had seen a ghost staring down at them.Angela wondered what happened to him,soaked with blood and fresh cuts.Then he stormed toward them, his fury barely contained.Angela glitched nervously unsure what her punishment would be but since Damon told her that Antonio
Angela returned to her room,her head aching and mind racing. She sat on the bed with her head in her hands. Her bones and muscles felt really numb and confused on what to do.Her mind went back to the reason she came back.They had moved to the nearby city,and putting things in order in the penthouse when Damon's phone rang,he went to the balcony to answer his phone.It was a long talk.The twins were running happily around the new apartment and Jace was checking out the cool housewares and his own room.While Angela herself was in the kitchen putting the kitchen in place just then Damon ran to her.He was looking as excited as a golden retriever puppy.Her heart melted at the look on his face, she put the juice maker on the table and smiled at him.“What's the news?”She asked huskily, clearly flirting with him. She had this confidence now,and his presence makes her feel this energy that she is valued and loved.“I got an information that Antonio is out of control,he shot maids and i
Angela's phone rang and it was Damon. She hesitated then she answered.“”Did he hurt you?”“No..it's 5 hours ago..”“Great..it's just like I predicted,he is in love with you and no matter what he won't hurt you..now you have to gain his trust”.“Gain his trust?”Angela scoffed.“What..what's the meaning of that?”Damon asked, a bit confused by the savageness.“He said I should never ever be seen in his bedroom again”.Angela replied.“Well he is just being emotional,once he sees you in your nakedness he will…”Angela hung up after hearing that to keep her nerves calm.“I can't believe he is saying that to me”.She murmured in tears.“How can he use me like a toy? What is the difference between him and Antonio?”.Damon called back, Angela answered.“What happened? You hang up on me, intentionally?”“Baby,how could you feel so .. emotionless asking me to be in the arms of another man,like you don't even feel jealous about it”.“Ofcourse I feel jealous about it,but it is what has to be d
