Angel

He stayed silent as I pounded my fists against his chest, even though he didn’t seem to mind. Maybe because I wasn’t really trying to hurt him. In the end, I gave up and stopped, sitting astride him with my tears flowing like a child’s. Eventually, my sobs turned into soft sniffles.

I felt his arms wrap around me, so I buried my face in his neck and shoulder curve. He held me close, gently rubbing my back while kissing my temple softly. It calmed me down, and soon, my sobs faded away completely.

"Are you feeling better now, baby?" he asked, but I didn’t respond. He remained quiet, waiting for a moment longer.

"Victoria was the first woman in my life, and I was the same for her. We were young when we met, so no matter what I do now, I can’t change that. Does it bother you so much?" he asked again. I shook my head. "Then what’s wrong? Why are you upset with me?"

I stayed silent because I couldn’t bring myself to say it. How could I? Should I tell him I was mad because he finished i

    Mature ContentAngelMy hands glided over his chest, tracing every inch until they reached the hem of his shirt. Slowly, I lifted it up. His hands, which had been gently stroking my thighs, moved upward, making it easier for me to remove his shirt entirely. His body was stunning, even though I typically didn’t like men with tattoos—I found them dirty, almost distasteful. But Salvatore was different. His entire body was inked, yet I couldn’t resist him. Maybe I was losing my mind over this man.I let my finger roam over his chest, playing lightly as I did. Salvatore simply watched me, his eyes locked with mine. The desire in his gaze mirrored the longing I felt deep inside. This man is way older than me, and I never thought I would like someone like him. But here I am, tracing every inch of him.Leaning forward, I pressed my lips to his neck, kissing and licking the skin there, making sure to leave a mark. Let him figure out how to hide it if he’s embarrassed to be seen with one. I am l

    David"Sir, what was that? Is that all?" I asked my boss after he told me to drop the case of Manzano."When did you start caring about that criminal, Calderon? Weren't you itching to catch that bastard? And now that he's out of the picture, you still won't let it go!" he shouted at me."Sir, it's not that I have any sympathy for that bastard. More than anyone, I wanted to catch him. Catch him, Sir, not see him dead. I want him to pay for his crimes!" I replied angrily. He's my superior, but I can't control my frustration in times like this. And he knew how I was whenever my case came to a dead end."God already made a way to take him off this earth and punish him, yet here you are, still yapping." How could he not understand my anger? Am I the only one thinking about giving justice to every victim?"How can I solve the case of our former mayor when he's my last lead? And don't you find it strange that he was killed just when he was about to answer all our questions?" I asked, making h

    Angel“How was work?” Salvatore asked as soon as I got into his car, already waiting for me at my usual pickup spot after my shift. He had just returned from Manila and went straight to me.“It was okay,” I replied with a smile, leaning in to kiss him quickly. But he didn’t seem satisfied with that—he pulled me closer and kissed me more deeply.“I’m not a kid for you to give me that kind of kiss, you understand?” he said, wiping the side of my lips, probably cleaning off some of our combined saliva. I just nodded with a grin, enjoying the moment. I gave him a light kiss because I thought he might not feel comfortable, considering we were in the car.“Aren’t you going to ask me about the old spoiled woman?”“Why would I? And is she that spoiled?” he asked, making me raise my eyebrows.“You don’t want me to call her spoiled?”“I’m just asking, baby,” he said, reaching for my hand resting on my lap while his other hand wrapped around me, pulling me closer. I didn’t answer, simply savoring

    SalvatoreAngel remained silent as she entered the car, and I did the same. How could I not, after seeing her having a meal with that police officer? They happily talked, and I saw her comfortable around him. I couldn't help but feel jealous. I haven't even had the chance to date her yet, and here he was, beating me to it?I took a deep breath as we arrived at the mansion. She was quiet, even as I opened the car door and waited for her. "Hey, is something wrong?" I asked, leaning slightly to check on her."Huh?" She responded absentmindedly, finally noticing that we had already arrived home. She slowly exited the car and walked towards the mansion while I watched her from behind.She walked straight into our room, and I followed closely. But just as she was about to head into the walk-in closet, I stopped her. "Baby, what's wrong?" I asked, gently turning her to face me."Huh? Why?" she replied, still looking lost."You seem out of it. Did something happen at work?" I kept my tone casu

    AngelIt was never clear to me if Salvatore was truly responsible for the death of the man who held me hostage. He never really gave me a direct answer when I asked him. But despite that, I still held on to the hope that, if ever, he wouldn't resort to that kind of revenge again, especially not for my sake.After that night, I noticed that Salvatore changed. It became so much easier to talk to him, and he was much sweeter towards me, not just in bed, but in everything. During our meals, he was always there in every little move I made, making sure I was okay. He tried to help me even with my studies, though I always refused because I could manage. I wasn't trying to boast, but I did have the brains for it; it's just that my aunt never sent me to school.Salvatore didn't let me quit my job either, and he promised to do his best not to be jealous. I didn't mind him being jealous on that part—it was actually amusing. He looked so handsome whenever he got upset, especially when he found out

    Angel“Next time, when you’re off, let’s eat out.” I glanced at Salvatore. Was he serious? “Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t you want to?”“Huh? No, of course I want to! I’d love that,” I quickly replied. I didn’t want to play hard to get because the truth is, I do want it. I like the idea of people seeing us together so they’ll think we’re in a relationship. That way, no other woman would dare to approach him when we’re not together.“Or would you prefer we go out of town when you take a leave? Where do you want to go?” I couldn’t answer. Was he inviting me?“Anywhere you want. I haven’t been to many places, so everything would be new, and I’m sure I’d enjoy it.” I wanted to add that as long as I’m with him, I don’t mind where we go, even if it’s just somewhere close by.We continued eating, and I felt like I was floating. “After this, we’ll head straight home.”I looked at him in surprise because I still had work. As much as I wanted to go home with him, I knew I couldn’t;

    Salvatore"Shut the fuck up!" I yelled at Victoria. I didn't want to hear anything from her about the age gap between Angel and me. I knew it well, and I fully understood it. Even though I feared the possibility she was suggesting, I always tried to calm myself down."Why? Are you afraid to accept the truth that she might find someone else? Someone who is younger, richer? It's not impossible, Salvatore. And with that girl's looks, I'm sure it will happen.""Stop it, Victoria," I warned her again, but she didn't listen and continued."Despite her uniform, it's obvious how beautiful her body is, and I know you're crazy about it. Many men will desire her, especially if you're no longer around. And I'm certain she'll jump at the first man who gives her special attention. Let's say—PO3 Calderon."My body trembled, and my fists clenched tightly as I held back from hitting the woman in front of me. "Salvatore," Angel said, her hand gently smoothing over my knuckles."Stay out of this, Angel."

    Victoria"I won't allow it! There's no way I will let another woman take up the time of the man I love!" I screamed as I stormed into my room at my father's mansion, throwing my bag to the floor, tears streaming down my face.I saw how Salvatore looked at that waitress—so full of love. Those eyes that used to be only for me. I miss that. I miss having someone love me. Really love me. I collapsed to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.I regret everything. I regret choosing to follow my father instead of the man I love. I regret choosing the lavish life my father and Narciso's family could offer over a simple, humble life with Salvatore.If I could turn back time, I would never choose this life—a life of emptiness, misery, rage, and no direction. I have a husband but no family. I became a puppet to their desires, so I chose to destroy myself, thinking they had no idea. But in reality, they watched silently as everything fell apart around me.I stood up from the floor, lay down on my bed,

    Angelo“You’re turning nineteen soon, man. What do you want for your birthday?” Sid asked. We were here at his private resort in Laguna after I left my brother Mau’s condo to give him and Nadia some time alone.“Wait, don’t tell me you want your sister’s friend? I can’t give her to you, man!” he blurted out, laughing. He knew how head over heels I was for that girl, who, unfortunately, preferred older guys over someone as young as me. Then again, I couldn’t blame her. If I were in her shoes, I’d also choose someone eight years older than me and that's her.“Idiot! I know she’s way out of my league.”“So, what is it then?” he pressed.“Nothing in particular. I’m happy that my sister and I are together again, and she’s happy with her husband, Salvatore. I guess my only wish is to finally graduate so I won’t have to rely on them anymore.”“As if that’s true! Look, I know how hard you work at your part-time job. I admire you for that. Even though people are willing to support you all the

    Salvatore“Papa, will Grandpa like us?”“Of course, Savinna,” I replied. Our family was in the car on our way to the prison to visit Dad. Even though I didn’t want the twins to be exposed to violence, I still owed my father, he was the reason I was with my wife and kids.I didn’t want to deprive the old man of the chance to love his grandchildren, especially if this was the only thing I could do to make him happy while he was inside.I looked at Angel, who was smiling at me. I had asked her if it was okay to introduce the twins to my father, and she immediately agreed.I had already told her what had happened, except for the part where Dad took the blame for my mistakes. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to tell her, but I had promised my father that only the two of us would know. He told me to wait for the right time before telling my wife. For now, he wanted me to just let things be.“What are you doing here, you idiot?” Dad asked, eyes wide in surprise when he saw us. I glanced at the t

    SalvatoreAngel and I finally got married, and I became the happiest man in the world.I could see the joy on the face of the woman I love the most and on the faces of the twins.David arrived with his brother Dom, his sister-in-law Erika, and the other people who had helped Angel when we were apart.My heart was overflowing with happiness. But right now, I was nervous because Sandicho, Angel, and Angelo were about to have a conversation."You can do this," I told my brother.I had advised him to talk to the siblings before the wedding if he wanted to, but he refused. He was afraid he might get too emotional or that Angel would get mad, which could ruin the occasion.Of course, I wouldn't let that happen. But since he seemed really anxious, I didn't force him."Go inside," I said.We were standing in front of my small office at home, where the siblings were already waiting. I was sure Angel would forgive him. After all, she still loved me even when she thought I was the one responsibl

    Angel"Mommy! Mommy!" the twins shouted as I stepped out to the pool area. We had finally moved in, and just as I expected, they were the happiest about our new home."We really love our new home!!" they said in unison, making me smile. Since Salvatore had gone out, it was just the three of us at home. Some of his trusted men from his mansion in Pampanga were with us, and most importantly, Naty, who was overjoyed to see me.I felt at ease knowing that Salvatore trusted the people around us. Besides, I had been with them before and knew they were reliable. They had their own quarters located at the back of the house."Don’t stay in the water too long, okay?" I reminded them. But I knew that they would still do as they pleased no matter what I said.I placed Naty's prepared snacks on the table and sat down, facing them. It was better to keep an eye on them in case something happened."If you get hungry, get out of the pool and eat, okay? Don't just keep swimming!" I called out."Yes, Mom

    AngelSalvatore assured me that everything was fine now, so I believed him. The most important thing for me was my children’s safety. I didn’t want to live in fear, worrying that someone might suddenly take the twins away from me."Baby..." Salvatore called out. It was our second day staying at his condo, but we hadn’t talked since arriving. I was afraid that if I asked again, he wouldn’t tell me what really happened and get mad at me."Are you still mad at me?" he asked. I took a deep breath, smiled, and answered."I'm not mad at you," I said. He sat beside me and asked again."Then why aren’t you talking to me?""Because you might find me annoying and get upset," I admitted, making him lower his head."Just like you, I could never be mad at you. I'm sorry if I made you feel that way by refusing to answer your questions. I just feel guilty—""You don’t have to feel guilty. What happened wasn’t your fault.""But I know it happened because of me—""It happened because of his anger. Wha

    SalvatoreI brought Angel to my condo. She looked okay now, though there were still traces of bruises from the slaps and punches she got from that demon, Narciso.She had so many questions about him, but I chose not to answer them yet. I felt like everything that happened to her was my fault.When she woke up in the hospital, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. I really thought I was going to lose her forever. I knew I wouldn’t be able to handle that.“Can I stay in the bedroom?” Angel asked as I was about to let her sit on the sofa.“Okay,” I replied and led her to my room. “If you need anything, just tell me.”She just nodded and lay down. I noticed she was avoiding me. Was it because I wasn’t answering her questions?I stepped out of the room but left the door slightly open so I could hear if she had nightmares again.Yes. She had nightmares. Like she was reliving what happened to her over and over. But every time I woke her up, she wouldn’t say anything. She claimed she wasn’t

    AngelMy eyes felt heavy, but I forced them open. Slowly, because I could feel the pain, it was as if they would tear apart if I pushed too hard.What happened? I thought that was the end for me. But the pain all over my face and body, as well as in my stomach, told me I was very much alive.The bright light stung my eyes when I finally managed to open them fully.“Baby…”“Sal—” I stopped immediately because even my lips hurt when I tried to say his name.“I’m here, baby. Don’t try to speak if it hurts.”I slowly turned my head toward him and saw his tearful eyes watching over me. They were red as if he had been crying.I noticed his hand lifting as if he wanted to touch my face, but he hesitated. Why? Did he know how much pain I was in?“T- Tw- ins…” I winced and shut my eyes because of the pain.“Shh… Please don’t talk yet, okay? The twins are fine,” he said, but then I remembered what that devil of a man said, and fear gripped me instantly.I shook my head as tears streamed down my

    Angel“Who are you? Why are you doing this to me? What did Salvatore ever do to you to deserve this?” I asked. He still wouldn’t introduce himself or tell me his reasons so I could understand him.He stood up from the other side of the bed and walked toward me. He grabbed my chin and tilted my face up to him. Even though I was nervous and scared, I didn’t let it show. I also didn’t struggle. I wanted to appear strong so he wouldn’t get angrier.“What do you think Salvatore will feel when he finds out I’ve already claimed you?” he asked, his sinister laughter making my eyes widen.“I want him to feel what I felt when he fucked Victoria, even though he knew she was already my wife! I want him to know how it feels to watch the woman he loves give herself to another man while he’s left seething in anger, taking it out on someone who only ever loved him!”He’s… Victoria’s husband? Since I left the Philippines, I have never bothered to know what has happened to them. I didn’t even ask about

    Salvatore“Someone told me that someone was investigating Angel and that her uncle and aunt were found dead,” Sandicho said.“Are you sure about this?” I asked. Mauro just stayed quiet, listening to us.“I’m the one in Pampanga, so I know what I’m talking about.” I looked closely at my brother, whose face was also full of worry. “That’s why you have to make sure your wife is safe.”When Angel arrived at my office earlier, we were already discussing the news my brother brought. That’s why we’re here at my condo now to talk about it. I didn’t want Angel to see Sandicho just yet; she might wonder why he suddenly showed up. More importantly, I didn’t want to scare her.Sandicho is currently staying at my mansion in Angeles. Ever since we fixed our family’s issues, I let him come and go freely.We’ve always been close because we both thought our dad only cared about his organization. But we were both wrong.When Angel left, I focused on handling her parents’ case. I let everyone believe I w
