Angela sighed, her eyes avoiding him. "Jace, I've made up my mind.Jace shook his head, his expression unyielding. “You're making a mistake, Angela. You're running away from your problems instead of facing them head-on.”Angela's face tightened in a firm line. "I'm doing what I have to do, Jace. I have to put our family first, and this is what's best for us. Staying isn't safe”.Jace eye's widened in surprise.“What do you mean by staying isn't safe? Is there anything I am yet to know?”Angela said nothing.The kids stopped at the elevator and Angela caught up with them.Jace sighed and carried one of the boxes.As they stepped into the elevator, Angela pressed the button for the first floor, and the doors slid shut behind them, closing the door on a tumultuous past.The elevator descended, and the four of them stood in silence, Angela's mind calculating all that Jace said to her.As the doors opened on the first floor, they stepped out.The cab driver approached them.“I am so sorr
He dashed through the rooms, calling out for Angela, but only silence replied. He felt a pang of anger and frustration.He dropped on the couch with a laughter as dark as the sadness he felt that moment.How could she do this to him? Didn't she know how much he loved her, how much he needed her at a time like this?She met with Diana…then went completely silent over it.A hand on his face.“You think you can bitch walk into my life and vanish from it, you are really guilty ain't you?”He closed his eyes and swallowed tightly his head thrown back.“The hell am I feeling anxious for?”His tight breathing worsened, and his hands clenched hard beside him on the couch.At a time like this, a hardcore will come in a handy.He thought of Diana…but the memories always came with Angela's face.“I am fucked for real”.“I can't believe I trusted some bitch and get hurt…and I can't believe I am doubting that she will ever hurt me”.He laughed again this time lowly, he went silent as the episode
Antonio's luxury car screeched to a halt in front of the grand hotel, its tires were smoking in protest. He flung open the door and stepped out, his eyes blazing with anger. The hotel staff, recognizing him immediately as heir to the wealthy and influential Montero's family that owned that very establishment, scrambled to attention.“Young master Antonio! Welcome, sir!” the concierge exclaimed, rushing to open the door for him.Antonio strode past him, his long strides eating up the distance to the reception desk. “I need to see Diana,” he growled, his voice low and menacing.It caused the woman to tremble.The receptionist, a timid-looking young woman in her late twenties, immediately checked the register.“Ah, yes, Ms. Diana is staying in suite 314,Shall I call up and let her know you are here, sir?”Antonio's eyes narrowed, but he said nothing.It was enough for the receptionist to know what to do and what not to do.He marched towards the elevators, his anger boiling.The unifor
“You groomed me, Diana. You lied to me. And now you're trying to play the victim?”Antonio said, staring directly into her eyes.Diana's eyes filled up with surprised tears, but Antonio didn't relent. “I was abused and violated by you, maybe you should open your eyes Diana and see things more clearly. This is not your little foxy anymore. I am no more the clueless teenager, who is mentally unfit to handle his emotions. I am not the same as the little boy who was violated and ran into your perverted hands for love. You want to play games? Fine. But don't expect me to play along.”Diana's eyes widened and moved down from Antonio's.Slowly she took a trembling step backwards.After a few minutes of intense silence between them, she finally found her voice.“Antonio, I am telling you nothing but the truth, please understand. I don't know what you heard, but I am not a groomer, we do share a connection. I risked my life to keep you safe.”She smiled in tears and looked up at him. “We had
However, she came to mind.Angela.He wasn't even thinking about her. He pulled back from her and cursed.Embarrassed by his actions, he was weak, he couldn't resist her.Diana, however, was very encouraged by his reactions to his tough.“Not so tough, as I thought. This is my chance”.She smiled to herself.She turned and walked back to the bed and lie down, she closed her eyes and swallowed hard.“Just one time, then I will truly believe you”.Antonio stood there motionless, looking at her.“Antonio, fuck me. Watch me, make you forget all about Angela.”“What if I don't want to?”Antonio replied.Diana opened her eyes, fighting back her frustration.“What the fuck are you talking about Antonio, enough of your childish games, I own you, now get on the bed and fuck me!”Her voice strained and her green veins popped.Antonio seeing her furious, surrendered and slowly walked towards her.Diana smirked and took a deep breath.In anticipation, she licked her lips and closed her eyes.Her
Angela's unease turned to alarm. She looked down at the twins sleeping soundly with their head resting on her laps, then up to Jace who had his ears sealed with his ear pods and his eyes closed listening to music, maybe.Something was off about the driver all of a sudden. She could feel it and also her heart was beating strangely.What if this is a sign that something bad is about to happen?The wrong direction and more scary, they were moving on a lonely road with just the cab and the van behind them in sight!She had no idea where this particular direction was headed, and the driver said he knew what he was doing.Angela closed her eyes and drew a deep soundly breath.Perhaps she's just being anxious for nothing.Not like Antonio could possibly set a trap for her using the cab driver she had booked for their trip.As the driver suddenly sped up, Angela's instincts kicked again, this time she leaned forward, her eyes locked on the driver. “Take us back to the main road, please”.“
The armed men, their faces masked by a mean looking face mask to hide their identities, as they approached the cab with a menacing intent.Jace was still recovering, he could feel his headlight and a thick fluid dropping the side of his temple.“Who are they?”He managed to mutter beneath his breath, his unstable vision making it hard for his dizzy mind to concentrate.“Get out of the cab,” One of the men growled.Angela's mind raced as she hesitated, her eyes darting between the men to the kids hiding away their faces on her lap. Then to her brother Jace.He moved his head.Angela hoped he wouldn't say anything to the dangerous looking men.“Jace, please don't argue with them, just do as they said”.Angela whispered, her voice betraying her and exposing her fear and terror.Jace's stomach tightened, as if sensing her fear, but he felt too weak to even defend himself or even say a word at this point.He hated that Angela and the twins won't rely on him for protection. He was supposed
Her eyes never left her brother Jace.“Jace, please be fine…please take him to the hospital, someone! Please, I beg you! He is my only bro….my only brother…he is too young for this!”She broke down into a heavy, throaty cry.Another man walked to her with a long grin and a black cloth.“Who are you! What do you want? Wh sent you ?! Leave my family out of this… I am the one you want”.She stuttered, her eyes so pale and widened in horror.Tears rolled down her body uncontrollably.Two tough hands grabbed her from the back, next second she was blindfolded and bonded into the car.She kicked and crawled, anything, but it was pointless anyway.All she could think of is her nieces and Jace.Her mind was racing in terror. Where are they being taken? And why? The only certainty was that their lives hung in the balance, at the mercy of these ruthless strangers.The twins' cries went off completely, which alerted her. She tried to ask if they were okay, but her mouth was cello taped and her
