Angela'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!*Lena. .. I sit alone in my self destroyed room. My clothes, dressing table, shoes were all on the floor. Mom has been banging on my door hut I wasn't ready to open so she left.How does it make sense that the great Miguel likes my sister? A melancholic chuckle burst out of my lips as I raise my hand to feel my face. As pretty as I am, good reputation and millions of followers on Instagram too, but she?Angela is just no match for me. "I didn't know she could play this way, she is more cunning than I thought," mom's voice got came to me from the other side of the door. I thought she left? I drag a breath in. She screwed us over and think all will be well? "Why did you bother having a drink with her?" Mom sigh. "Don't worry, the audit team won't find anything on me. I'll soon be back in my chairman chair." She added as a means of cajoling me. "I wanted to show Winslow how useless she was but he doesn't seem to care. I'm so damned!" I pull at my hair strands. I didn't even dr
Roland pov...The car swerves on the tiled road, and I grope the brake, my tires hitting it off with the afro beat playing.I turn to the direction of a club. I need to clear my head.I park my car and move inside, leaving the song on.Club. A place that offers the most noise but where people still run to during their sad days. This is the first time I would enter through the front door and shit, I rather stick to being a backdoor'er if there's any word like such.I glance around, my eyes slowing down the people's dance movements as they vibe to the music.I smile. Isn't it the most ironic thing ever that our body, perfect as it is always advocated as, depends on dance and tunes when in a happy mood and down?I let out a long sigh and take a step forward. A black haired lady slip into my face, her eyes searching behind her, almost colliding into me."Eyes!!" I snap over the loud music.Her face slowly turn to me and our eyes widen at the same time.She points at me,"You?" We both c
Angela. .. The pain of hangover was too much to handle that morning. I had wanted to drink water only, but Lena was just as cunning as her mom. "I warned you.." my second groaned at me. What the barman served spiked my desire for alcohol, and I ended up making four bottles touch rock bottom. The part is that it was an alcohol I haven't tasted before. I always go for whiskey, rum and vodka.The one served was distinct to my tongue, but I couldn't put it down, it was surprisingly addictive even though the taste wasn't really nice.I drag a breath in, the pain in my chest slapping harder like a blade was just shove into it. I wince a little before forcing my eyes open then a sneeze escaped from my mouth. I drag my feet to the kitchen and found everywhere silent. Just the sound of boiling water. Still lost in bits of drunkenness, I grab the kettle and tilts its nose over a glass cup. After I was satisfied with the amount of water, I return the kettle before taking a casual sip
Miguel. ."Did you found the answer you seek?" Pierre asked on our way to work. "She wouldn't say anything," I look out the window. "Doesn't that confirm your suspicion?" "Which is?" I turn to give him a look. "That your wife drinks?" He picks each word with caution. I chuckle. He thinks I would go all the way to her friend to inquire about what was already sure? "I sought for something else and it's already confirmed." I respond with a tone that shows i didn't want to entertain any more comment on the issue. Half way to our destination, my phone rang. I pick it up and a familiar robotic voice ring out,"How well do you trust your wife? Let's see, tomorrow by two, I'll prove to you that all women are the same,"My eyes move over to Pierre and I signal to him.The car jerks to a stop, and he brings out a phone and give me a nod"Since you're calling for the second time, I'd assume this isn't a prankster, and you know who you are speaking to.I cannot help but to be eager abou
Roland's POV. .. "It's been a while since I've last cause some chaos, hasn't it?" I clang on the piano. My manager eyes touch fear. " You... aren't planning to do what I'm thinking right? "I press my lips together before smirking. " I've been bored. Let's play around a little.""Roland, you-"" Oh come on, Mr Fred, am I the only one that is delighted seeing the reporters shoot themselves in the face? " I chuckle before rising up. I walk with measured steps to the window side before sliding my hands in my pockets. Images of the lady I'd almost ran down with a car pops in, and I scoff. It was definitely her fault, how could the CCTV get it wrong also? Fred step beside me, and in the most defeated tone ever, he asked: "so what have you got up your sleeves this time around?" I smirks. "Find a beautiful model, one influential. Set up a meeting with her at a club. When we're together, tip-off a reporter, they'll come and take pictures then you man the rest of the game," I stare s
Janice..I stare intently at him. He seems to be hesitating about whatever he's gonna say and tho I don't have the goddamned time for that, I was still awed at the fact that I was sitting before a billionaire.. one hardly seen in public... Although we met first at the hospital but he was just an ordinary man to me then, maybe someone cruel.. it was his fault Angela landed in the ward after all.He finally looks at me, his gaze holding a different kind of command.I drag a breath in, suppressing the urge to start yapping instantly. This was it, how you feel around powerful people.. you start thinking it's okay to share your address with postal code, tell them your mama's date of birth, even share the date of your first menstrual cycle!But i was different, always. I never had such feelings of trying to please or fit into their expectations around them, I acted normal but him? He is just too much.If his gaze carries this much power, how much more his words?How is Angela coping with
