MasukAngela's pov.
I,Angela Wilson,am here today to wed Mr Winslow, contrary to the name - Earnshaw you saw on the invitation letter." I announced boldly,my eyes glowing in determination. "What the fvck is she saying right now?"I heard Lena snapped in fury. "Have you gone banana? You shouldn't mess with Winslow,you know how it is - the news surrounding him. You just wanna badly destroy yourself,huh?"Daniel pulled me closer to his body. My heart hammered against my chest. I was reckless,I know,but this is the only opportunity I've got to change my fate. I could have just called the wedding off and leave but hell would be waiting to let loose for me. My only ray of hope - my eyes darted to the man that stared right back at me with an unreadable expression. Was he angry? Confused? Was he going to reject me? - oh Lord the embarrassment would be too much for me to handle if he actually does that. From what I've learnt about him, his greatest enemy is marriage. But I also heard he likes bold people so I thought he might like a bold woman too? Or doesn't that math up? Or maybe I shouldn't have math'ed his feelings? It's not as if they're numbers! Not necessary like me tho, but maybe he would consider my indirect and yet súbito(Portuguese - sudden) of a deal? Daniel's tight grasp around my waist tightened making me wince. My hands were in soft balls, close to each other like magnet in front of me...which was adjacent to his chest. I see fingers being pointed at me,as they all talk in hushed tones. Lena and mother smirks at me when they saw the man I'd just engaged myself to wasn't gonna stand up. My plan has failed? "You just won't give up,will you?"Daniel's angry voice broke into my thoughts. My eyes went to his,savagely. How dare he be angry? He doesn't have the right to be! "You never loved me,Danny. Maybe you did loved something else about me."my eyes flickered in vexation as I gritted those words out. My breathing was narrowed,as if my entire life depended on getting oxygen through a tiny straw. I could see Lena and mother gloating up from where they were seating from my side eye. I was amused that the people have not started leaving. Well,I guess rich people like an "unconventional show". They would wait to finish the Wilson's family Soap Opera then go bash us online. I just pray that this cold man gives me a helping hand. "What do you mean,Angel? All my life, I've only been devoted to you - protecting our love. I only erred once,and what? You aren't gonna let go?" "All your life? we've only dated for two years,Danny! Or maybe you meant to say,all your life you've been raised to pretend to love the eldest daughter of the Wilson family? You've never for once kissed me,touch me,o..or...or anything. You only peck and embrace me,like a brother would."i retorted,my gaze pressed to his face,strongly... My eyes were all over the place on his face,my breaths unsteady. I saw his eyes fell and his grip around my waist loosened. "Angela,why will you..." "What do you think you're doing holding someone else's wife?"a sleek dulcet voice skids into the mocking air that surrounds me in the wedding hall. Oh! My heart set off on a marathon..as if it were a player in the Olympics racing team. He rose up from the chair,his hands escaping into his blue trouser's pocket at both sides,then he began striding to the altar. My heart pumps in excitement. I jabbed Dannie's chest and his eyes fell from my waist. I turned to him - my emergency groom. I grinned, nervously. A rush of adrenaline seeps into my body,and my body seems too hot,too cold... Gosh..I don't even know again! But, it's working! My plans are! My collar bones appears from the off shoulder dress as he stopped few steps away from me,and extends his hand towards me. "What do you think you're pulling? You're the one trying to steal my bride!" Oh,Daniel. He just wouldn't kiss the cow's dunk. Winslow slopes his head to the right side,peeking at Daniel behind me. "Take a broom,and sweep out all the fornication in your heart,then you can come a thousand years from now to claim yourself the groom. Now, you're just a witness in this blissful ceremony."he replied,as freezing as ever. He took his gaze back to me before glancing down at his own palm. *Woah,is this really happening?" *Isn't that Winslow Miguel?* *Is he truly her man?* *What a perfect Soap Opera this is!*Gradually, a pitched sound crawls into my ears. The typical sound when a microphone just got knocked off. I look up and found Pierre pausing a step by the door. Eyebrows pulled up, mouth agape, eyes dancing around the scene.The light in the room is dimmed so he probably doesn't see the blood.He lunges over seconds later,"why is there blood?" that wasn't a question. It was one asked in bewilderment and 'it has never happened before' ."He seems drunk." I respond, short of breaths.His brows furrowed, then he shakes his head.. "this is bad .""Should... should we take him to the hosp-" "Get Ellie," his voice carries an instruction.My left hand grip my head, every objects doubling. I dig my teeth in my tongue. Blood flooded in along with pain enough to get a hold of myself. I pull myself up but paused. Ellie ? Who is that?"Vanessa" He quickly corrected himself like he just spit ou
I hiccup. Did my forty heads of thinking literally go to the waste bin? "It's... it's just juice, certainly everyone takes that..." I voiced out."Not me. Never like it." Words hung in my throat. A beat at hundred times..my heart counts down.I was too shocked to remember not to allow it show on my face until he raised the question, " why do you look disappointed? You badly want me to drink this?" I curse under my breath before looking up. "Of.. course not. I was just worried you would sleep on empty stomach,"A short laugh burst out of his lips. "Sleep on..." He stops, his eyes closes off only to get snapped open back again. "I am going. You, you should leave too..." In his room ? Going where? My inner eyes poke out of my skin, and I take every little details of his behavior in.His palm shields his forehead, his fingers trembles. His movements irregular.*Well, what did you fin
"Permission for what?" Does he know about my mission. My heart beats fast."To watch me eat." He shrugs. No reaction. Just a straight face. "I wasn't goi-" Wait, that's to my advantage. My eyes wander around the room. So unlike mine where cloths dance on the floor.I set the food down on the small table.I shot him a stare across the room, where he is drying his hair with a towel."A dryer would have been better and faster," I pointed out."It is not about speed always. Doing it like this takes some thoughts off my head." He responded without looking.I nod with pressed lips. "Sit." His next words came out sudden. My brows creased. His back is turn on me, how...?"Your standing there and looking around makes you seem like a pervert." He commented.My face flushes in embarrassment. He cannot exactly put it like so.I plush down on the chair without thinking twice.
The aroma of the food takes over the room. I stood in the kitchen, different ideas popping up in my head. I tail Vanessa to the dining where she served the food. She glanced back at me, "do you need anything,?"I go to shake my head. "Okay. I need to inform boss food is ready," she says and turn to leave.I nod, my mind far off. She was already climbing the stairs when I remember I was supposed to serve him. No, repay a debt. "WAIT."She stops. I inhale. She raise her brows quizzically at me. "Is something not in its right order?""Yes, my brain, " I blurt out."Huh?" "Nothing. Just...come back. I...will serve him." I gestured.She threw me a confused look then looked up the stairs, "sure? That would be nice " she squealed and hop off the stairs.I blink, "you seem excited like a five years old that just got her Christmas shoes."She chuckles. "Uhm, you...are done for the day, right?" I ask. "Yes, ma'am," she grins."Do you have any plan? Go out? Something else?""Asides sleep,
My heart leapt. What's up with how both of them are staring at me?"Like the kind of stare given when you are about to get betrayed," I comment in my head. But betrayal doesn't get through to my heart again. And this seems even more worse.When the staring got heated, I decided to take it on Vanessa, "what? You are not greeting your employer?" I whisper, and i could swear I see her stifle a laugh.My subconsciousness brushes it off again, "don't be mean" she moaned."Good - " she chokes on her word. "Evening, boss," she places weight on the boss word. Before my suspicious self could scrape off tweeny - bitsies of details again, "How is the hangover? Gone?" He questions, his voice strained. In a sweep, I looked at him, then back to Vanessa in a "is that question for me?" And she held in a laughter again. And that? It didn't help, it isn't. Only making me more anxious. Do I look like a fool today?"Well," she straightens
Angela's POV.I strut into the kitchen. Thuds from the cutting of carrots suffocates the air.I study Vanessa's knife movements...smooth, too fluid . Like she has been chopping carrots her entire life."Reason she is a chef," my second reverberates in my head.I chug a saliva, and rest on the wall. My arms crossed on my chest.Her head swerves back, our eyes meeting. She looks on, confused for seconds.. before something like realization hit her."Angela," she calls out before she could stopped."Why were you so shocked?" I draw a breath in, leaving the spot to pick one of the chopped carrot."Uhhh, it's been a while," she blurted.My eyes shoot up at her, the carrot going into my mouth, "it has only been a day,"Collarbones shoot out of her neck as she release a smile, "ah, really?" My gaze narrows, "you're acting weird today? What? Something wrong?""What could be wro
