ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POV

No matter how many times I tried to convince Greyson to go straight home and just let me visit Gwynneth’s home by myself, he wouldn’t let me be. I couldn’t help myself but to wonder if he found an excuse to see her, or if he simply didn’t want me to come there by myself.

“Your face is like an open book, Angelique. I know that you’re overthinking about the possibility that I merely wanted to see Gwynneth and that I’m using your mother as an excuse,” Greyson suddenly said, taking me aback as I stopped my tracks.

My feet somehow felt cold, frozen to the ground as I stared at Greyson’s back, unable to believe that he might’ve read my mind. “H-how did you do that?” I scoffingly asked, filled with curiosity. “Anyhow, are we still far from her house?” I changed my query, trying not to get teased by him.

Greyson shook his head once as he pointed his index finger in front of us. “Gwynneth’s house is the only one that stands out in this area,” he murmured as I glanced upon

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVThe moonlight shone directly in the direction where Lian and my mother were standing. They were at the corner of a building in some sort of an alleyway where there was no one around other than themselves. As I was attempting to walk ahead and confront the two of them, I felt two hands holding both of my wrists—one was from Greyson, and the other was from Gwynneth. Both of them were preventing me from reaching their spot, as if it wasn’t what we came here for.“Why are you holding me back? My mother is literally standing a few meters away from us!” I uttered and despite wanting to scream my lungs out, I held myself back as it would definitely alert Lian. “Don’t tell me that you’ve already known that my mother was together with Lian? Is this how you’re going to betray me all over again, Greyson? Are you still not done with your games?” I consecutively questioned him out of frustration.Greyson released my wrist as he pulled me away from Gwynneth’s hold. “You’re ove

You mustn’t forget that you’re also just a human… and worse, you’re a woman,” he added.I bit my lower lip in irritation, seeing that there really was no choice other than to leave. I tugged the edge of Greyson’s shirt, pulling him away from the spot of the three. I doubt that Lian would be able to take my mother’

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVTears and a mixture of my blood spread on the floor. I kept on panting as I gasped for breath, continuing to run for my life. I was still fortunate enough that my feet weren’t abandoning me; I would have been long gone now if they suddenly gave up on me. The dark scenery of where I am heading makes me somewhat scared, but there’s nothing else that I should be frightened of besides my parents, who wouldn’t even stop chasing me from behind. I don’t understand what’s their deal; they have always been like this since the day that I was born. I can’t even remember a day wherein they wouldn’t lay their hands on me just to give me pain rather than the tender love that I should be receiving from a normal family. I sometimes wonder if I was actually adopted. I just couldn’t find any other reasons why they would be acting this way against me, as if they seriously didn’t want to see me near them. But if that’s the case, then they should have given me permission to live

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVIt’s the exact reason why I couldn’t even stand being friends with anyone from my school before. I believed that everyone out there would be doing the same. As soon as a few years went by with the same thing happening to me every night, I learned how to accept the fate of my life. I would end up suffering this situation until the last day here in this world. No matter what I did, they would always end up punishing me, saying that I was good for nothing and that I would be non-existent right now if they didn’t raise me up. In a span of a few minutes of letting my mind travel, somehow I thought of having vengeance.“Argh!” I groaned as loud as I could and bumped my forehead against his. That simple action seriously hurt, but it was also enough to make him stop what he was doing. “You’re going to pay for all of the years that you’ve ruined my entire life,” I mumbled to myself as I helped myself to stand. My shoulders were bent down, and I looked so lifeless, but

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVRight after that incident, I immediately ran back to where we live. I just took a short shower to remove the stains of blood that got all over my body. I also made sure that I changed my clothes. There was nothing else I had to do at home. I'm certain that people or some who are seated on the higher ups would surely investigate how my parents died. Mostly those people who always pay my dad on time just because of our videos that purposely leak on the internet. I only took my credit cards, my mobile phone, and a wallet with cash, of course. I didn’t bother packing up my clothes and other belongings since I am currently in a hurry to leave this place.It took me a few hours before I was able to reach some place that was unfamiliar to me. The sun was about to rise, which made it easier for me to travel, unlike earlier, when I had almost nothing to see. I continued my journey until I was tired and decided to take a break. It seemed like luck was on my side since

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVThis means that I can no longer go anywhere that I want to, considering that money is the first thing that I should have when I’m thinking of traveling to some place. I let my own feet wander around; I don't even know where I should first head off to. Mostly now that I don't have anyone to provide me with financial support. The sun was already burning my skin; it is currently afternoon, and there are even more people outside now compared to when I first arrived in this place. As I was letting my subconscious bring me anywhere, I bumped into someone. I almost stumbled to the ground, but the person was quick enough to grab me by my waist.“Sorry. Are you alright?” he asked, and when I turned to look at him, I opened my mouth. “Y-you…”“G-Greyson?!” I mentioned his name in shock before I fixed my posture and thanked him afterwards. “What are you doing here? Aren’t you still studying in another country?” I asked out of curiosity.“Turns out I wanted to spend my ti

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVAfter several hours had passed, the night sky appeared. It was filled with lots of shining stars, though there was no presence of the moon. It doesn’t seem like it would rain anytime soon, but just to be sure, I still hurried up to walk towards Greyson’s club. It wasn’t that far from where he left me, so I really didn’t have to be troubled with riding any vehicle. I haven’t even arrived at the exact location yet, but I can already hear the deafening noise that came from the ladies and gentlemen who were inside.I breathed in heavily at the same time that I gulped. There should be nothing that I should be nervous about. If Greyson plans to do something indecent to me, then I guess I should just let him be. I mean, why would I even try to resist when I’ve experienced something far worse from my own father? Even my mom just kept on tolerating whatever he did to me instead of trying to stop it from happening again.When I opened the doors, the scents of alcohol an

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVEven though I was told to kneel down, I didn’t do it until Greyson was forced to dress himself back up, and that was also the exact same moment that I did the same. There was clearly no reason for me to do what he wanted me to do, not until there was some kind of benefit for me to do so. I firmly stood up, as I was facing him. Memories from our school years flashed back through my mind, and I swear, I can still sense at least a little bit of my feelings for him, and it actually bothers me. I mean, it has been years since we’ve last seen one another, and I believed that he would not be coming back to our country. Even though we had mutual feelings before, I never told him about whatever was going on in my family, which is why he wasn’t able to do anything about it. I’m at least half a hundred percent certain that he would be doing everything that he can under any circumstance just for him to be able to do something to save me, just to keep me away from my so-ca

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVI immediately felt how quickly Greyson’s arms loosened its grip around my waist as soon as I reacted negatively to his intention. Whether he was genuine of wanting to protect my mother from Lian, it didn’t matter to me. After all, I knew deep inside that Gwynneth was the only one he’s eager to protect other than myself.“Stop dragging Gwynneth into this conversation, Angelique. Our main goal is to avoid letting Lian reach your mother,” Greyson coldly uttered as he gently pushed me away.As I shook my head in disbelief of what he said, I attempted to walk past him and return to his car, but I hurriedly stopped my tracks when I didn’t sense his footsteps following me.“What do you really want to do, Greyson?” I asked, turning around to face him once more. “Can’t we just let go of the past and live freely as we want? If it’s you, there’s a huge possibility for us to start over in a different place far away from our parents,” I added.Greyson sighed, pulling me back

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVMy eyes remained at the center of the front page. Greyson pulled over, giving me time to react to what I discovered. “What is the meaning of this, Lian, Greyson? If this is some kind of prank, I’d rather you stop it now before I get furious,” I said in between my heavy breathings.“Don’t overreact, Angelique. It’s not like this is the first time that you’ve gotten yourself involved with crimes,” Lian mumbled, insulting me right in front of Greyson. “Besides, you’re not the one who’s going to do whatever’s written in those papers. I just showed them to you so you wouldn’t doubt your husband’s words,” she added.Greyson invited the two of us to go out for a while and get some fresh air, noticing that the tension between Lian and me began to worsen. He opened the door for me but not for Lian, which made me slightly grin. Fortunately, there was a stall open nearby with no customers, so we were freely allowed to stay inside. Lian and I watched Greyson from the corner

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVNow that I think about it, Lian was also the person who brought me closer to my mother once more. She was also the reason why I got to encounter Gwynneth and realized Greyson's relationship with her. There’s something about Lian that’s making me convinced that she might have an underlying connection with either Gabriela or Greg... or maybe Greyson himself.“Where did you hear about Lian?” Gabriela asked; her voice seemed a bit shaky, or maybe it was just my imagination. “Don’t tell me that Greyson also got her involved in his nightclub?” she added.I shrugged my shoulders. “I don’t know. I saw her in front of the elevator and felt that she was somehow familiar. When I thought deeply, I remembered her name,” I lied, maintaining a straight face so she wouldn’t sense that I was bluffing. “Is she an employee here?”Gabriela avoided having eye contact with me, and it took her a couple of seconds before she gave me a response. “She’s not yet one of our employees. I hea

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVThe two of us utilized the elevator to head up to Gabriela’s office. The other employees were all staring at Greyson, which somehow made me feel uncomfortable. However, Greyson suddenly placed his hand on my shoulder. “Can you please give space for her in the corner? We’re heading up to the 19th floor,” he said at the same time that they stepped away. “And stop giving me those sticky gazes; it’s disrespectful to my wife,” he added.After a few minutes, the elevator doors opened as the bell rang, signaling that we were already at our destination. My expectations were completely different. I thought that there would be luxurious people waiting in the hallway, but there was no one. The path was empty, and only the two of us were creating sounds of our footsteps.“Why are you still calling me your wife, Greyson? Didn’t we already agree to discontinue the act of being married couples?” I questioned him as we stopped in front of the third door we passed by.Greyson shr

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVGreyson made me sleep on his bed last night while he covered himself on the floor, refusing to initiate any kind of conversation with me. I bet that he’s been mentally exhausted all day long, and no one else is to blame other than myself. There’s still an hour left before the afternoon, and Gabriela already called us for lunch. She definitely has something to discuss with us, seeing that she didn’t bother to invite Greg.“Were you able to sleep well with someone you don’t love, Angelique?” Gabriela asked with a hint of sarcasm as she was serving our dishes on the dining table. “I prepared some beef Wellington; I heard it’s one of your favorites.”I genuinely smiled at Gabriela. I took a spoonful of the beef and couldn’t help but praise her for how savory it tasted. “If only I knew that my mother-in-law was going to be this great of a cook, I would’ve loved your son with all I’ve got. I wouldn’t care if he ends up tearing my heart into pieces,” I jokingly commente

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVI didn’t know what to do with Greg, so I decided to go with Greyson instead. I was behind him, and the both of us were glaring at his father. I held both of Greyson’s wrists behind his back so that he wouldn’t be able to fight back, as if he were handcuffed.“Don’t do anything rash, Greyson. You wouldn’t be able to face the consequences either way,” I said, trying to convince him not to ignite his father’s furiosity any more than that. “If it wasn’t for your father, you wouldn’t even be here in this world,” I added.Greyson hissed at me as he resisted my grip, pushing me away from him. I was about to fall on my knees, but fortunately, Gabriela was there to catch me. “Don’t try to act like you’re any better, Angelique. I know that you can’t wait to see me lying on the ground, surrounded with my own blood,” he coldly replied with a stern gaze.As I shook my head, I caught a glimpse of how Greg was on his way to slash the shard of glass on Greyson’s head, so I hasti
