Chapter 13 - The phone calls
Elisabeth POV
I woke up with a sore face and lip. Slowly I open my eyes and realise I am late for work. Great.
I jump out of bed and get myself ready for work. I put on a maxi dress to cover the bruises on my legs. What can I say? I bruise easily.
While I brush my teeth, I start to think about how I will conceal the marks on my face. It wouldn’t be the first time doing it, but it definitely the first time covering to go to work. To see people that actually care about me and that will ask why I’ve got a cut on my lip, why I have a cut on my cheek. But, unfortunately, I can’t conceal that, so I will have to come up with a random excuse to tell people.
And I decided that today I will be going to see Michael Lockwood at Lockwood enterprises and end this fake marriage once and for all. I can’t do this to him. I can handle Samuel’s anger, and I don’t mind him hurting me if he leaves Michael alone. I know that h

Michael POV As I walk to my office, my new secretary walks to me, passing some files to my hand. I take a deep breath, and I let my mind goes blank. “Good morning Mr Lockwood” - she says “I told you to call me Michael, Sarah”, - I reply, and she nods her head as we keep walking into my office. Sarah closes the door behind her while I take my place behind my desk, taking my jacket off. There’s already some coffee waiting for me, but I smile internally, looking and the travel mug with coffee that Logan got ready for me. “So what do we have today?” - I ask while Sarah sits in front of me with her iPad going through the agenda for today. “Board meeting at eleven with Mr Lockwood present”, - she says, and I pass my hands through my hair. Great, just great. That’s all I need, dad coming to interfere with business. “What else?” - I ask. “Lunch at your fa
The Angelic CEO Chapter 15 - Logan and Beth
Logan POV I’ve been sitting in the car for about twenty minutes. I don’t know what I am waiting for, but I honestly know that sitting in the car won’t get me anywhere. So why am I acting like a scared teenage girl? All I have to do is go inside, come up with some lame-ass excuse to get Beth out of her class and talk to her. I take a deep breath, and I open the car door. There’s a group of teenage girls near their cars, and I can see them checking me out. I hate teenagers. They only get us in trouble, always with their make-up and a fake ID. I close the car door, and I start walking into the big building in front of me. This is some rich school; I’ve always attended public schools, and trust me, they don’t look like this. This looks like a freaking castle. I wonder how much it costs a month to run. Why do I think about that? Get a grip and get the girl Logan.
The Angelic CEO chapter 16 - Michael and Beth
Michael POV Daniel keeps pushing my buttons, and I am not pleased about this. “I said no” - I let out, and Daniel looks at me. Dad crosses his arms in front of his chest and takes a deep breath. “But you will be family”, - Daniel says “That’s still to be seen”, - I say between greeted teeth. “What did you say, boy?” - Daniel asks, and I shake my head. My phone starts to vibrate in my pocket, and I pick it up. It's Logan, but I can’t answer right now. This asshole thinks he can manipulate every single aspect of my life, and I am getting tired of it. I reject the call and focus my attention back on Daniel that is looking at me as if I was the enemy. “Daniel, your nephew won’t work here, he will never work here, he will never have access to my business”, - I say “Don’t be an overdramatic boy”, - Daniel says, taking one step closer to me “Drop it, Daniel, I haven’t worked my ass off to leave this company to
The Angelic CEO Chapter 17 - Getting ready
Elisabeth POV Michael pulls away from me, and I feel as if I can’t breathe; my body is taking for his, my lips want more of him, my skin needs his touch, but he pulled away. Of course, he pulled away. He is with Logan; I am just the beard for their relationship. I am just a contract. Michael pulls a small box from the pocket of his jacket, and my hands fly to my mouth, covering it. When I see the ring, my heart almost comes out through my mouth. It's simple, elegant, beautiful. It would be the king of the ring I would love to get when I am actually getting married. Now he’s ruined that for me. No other ring will ever be better than this one. “We can’t be engaged without a ring”, - he tells me, and he is right. Michael slides the ring on my finger, and it fits to perfection, as if it was made just for me. I grew up having all the jewellery I’ve ever wanted,

Michael POV “There’s a dress for you in the bedroom”, - I tell Elisabeth, and she walks to the bedroom to get dressed. As soon as she disappears into the corridor, Logan smiles at me. He knows we both think the same thing. “You like her, don’t you?” - Logan asks, and I am taken aback by his question; I start pacing around, not really looking at him. “I do, but so do you”, - I tell him, and he nods his head. “It is different with her than what it is with you. She is the fire I miss in my life,” - I say, and Logan smiles, kissing my lips while his hair falls down his face. “I’ve always had a crush on her, she’s always been intriguing to me, but the way you look at her made me want her even more”, - Logan tells me, and I nod my head in understanding. “That night at the club” - I start - “I would’ve taken her home and made love to her without thinking about consequences, and
The Angelic CEO Chapter 19 - Meeting the Lockwoods
Logan POV I have to admit that I am jealous. I am jealous that Mike can walk around hand in hand with Beth, and no one would judge him. I am jealous that he can introduce her to his family as his future wife, and I am just the best friend. I am jealous that he might fall for her and not be as interested in me. I know I sound ridiculous right now, but I can’t help but feel like I am losing Michael to the life he never wanted. The life of older men controlling his life. I feel a tear spill down my eye, and as fast as it fell, I clear it with the back of my hand. Get a grip Logan; Mike is yours, now and forever. I can’t be without him. He’s made my life so special, so colourful, so interesting. I can’t even imagine being without him by my side. Even if I have to be in the shadows, I’ll be in the shadows for as long as he needs me to. I turn the tv on, and I start watching some random stuff. I need to get distracted, and th
The Angelic CEO Chapter 20 - Meeting the Lockwood's part 2
Michael POV “You can organise what?” - I ask when I approach Elisabeth talking to my sister and River. I can see she feels a little uncomfortable, so I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her closer to me. The warmth from her body soothes my own, and I like how her body fits perfectly next to mine. Elisabeth relaxes against me, and I smile. I know I agreed not to touch her without Logan, but this is torture, and I have to sell the happy couple crap to my family. Otherwise, Mel and Gabe won’t buy it. “Your wedding”, - Mel says “How about you let my fiancé organise her dream wedding?” - I ask, looking at Elisabeth and giving her a small wink. Elisabeth smiles and goes all blushed. But, god, how is it possible that she is even cuter now? “Don’t you think you will have your hands full with mine?” - River asks, and Amelia squeals with happiness. “You’re letting me do it?” -
The Angelic CEO Chapter 21 - Confrontation
Michael POV “Wait, what? What do you mean especially with a girl?” - Mel asks looking confused between the two of us. I look down at my hands fiddling with my fingers messing with the skin near my nails. I always do this when I am anxious. “Stop that” - Mel says slapping my hand. I lift my eyes and meet hers and I can see so much love in them that I move my eyes fast from hers and I meet Gabe’s. He looks cold and distant. This is what I didn’t want to witness. That look. That’s what I was always afraid of. His disapproval. I always seemed for his approval I always looked up to him. The perfect son, the perfect boy with the spitting image of dad. The boy that takes over his father. “I… I am” - I start saying “Gay” - Gabe says crossing his leg to his knee and looking deeply at me. I feel as if he is trying to read my soul and I move uncomfortably on my seat while Mel looks at me with her mouth open “Yes” - I say and I look at Gabe
