Angelina"Wake up!" I heard a high-pitched voice screaming beside my bed. It was a very familiar one. I blinked and opened my eyes to find my best friend Lexi looking at me with tears in her eyes. I jolted up from my sleep when my brain fully understood who it was."Lexi!" I squealed with happiness and hugged her as she jumped at me and cried."I missed you!" she cried, tightening her grip on me, "I thought something happened to you, I—"I felt my tears also joining hers. This was my friend, my best friend. No wonder I missed her a lot. She was someone, I was sure, who would be there with me no matter what would happen to me, or what I would do. She always supported me when I would try to do something new, and would clearly oppose me when something wrong was going to happen. That is what I liked about our friendship; it was something too special for me."I missed you too!" I cried in her arms.After we cried, she suggested me to take shower and meet her downstairs for breakfast. I was
AngelinaMy heart was beating fast, thumping against my chest. The knocking on the door died, and I knew he left. He's gone. I am going to die, die soon. The man in front of me smirked at the guy holding me. I have to do something. I can't let my life end so soon, so easily, without trying to fight for it. So I did what first came to my mind, I bit his palm, hard. The man yelled in pain and cursed loudly. His palm freed my mouth, and with all the left energy in my body, I screamed hoping that someone would hear, maybe Danzel would hear."Help, someone he—", my voice was cut off as the other guy slapped me, and I stumbled down on the ground."B*tch!" He grunted.The other guy was ready to jump on me, but then, suddenly, the door flew open as someone broke open it. My heart gave a little hope. Someone has really come to help me. I waited for the man to enter the scene. My eyes were dizzy from the bleeding but I tried to keep them open, maybe to thank whoever interrupted my death, but wh
AngelinaI woke up, creasing my eyes to block the sunlight from falling. The next side of the bed was neatly made. I touched it to find it pretty cold. He must have left early. I sat up on my bed and got ready. When I opened my closet, it was in the same condition as I had left it. I got dressed and was plating my hair just then I heard a knock on the door.It was Susan. I swallowed nervously when I remembered how much I missed her. I ran across the room and pulled her into a tight hug. Susan didn't embrace me. I knew she was sad, probably angry about how I had left her that day."I am sorry..." I whispered and tightened my grip, hoping she would embrace me.Her hands slowly moved upwards and she returned my hug. She patted my back slowly as I broke the hug. I looked at her. She was staring at me, waiting for me to answer, to explain why I had done it."I am sorry. I was..." I looked at my fingers not knowing what to explain.She sighed loudly, which made me more nervous."Angelina lo
AngelinaIt has been three weeks since I last saw my mother. Danzel had told me that they had left back for L.A. It was good for them. I remember crying myself to sleep when I heard the news. It was painful for me to digest the fact that my family thinks that I am dead and I had no say in it. I couldn't tell them the truth. I had to let them go. After that day, everyone in the mansion was quite friendly to me. Creed used to be out for some work with Danzel but whenever he used to get time, we used to enjoy it. Danzel was also quite relaxed now. Maybe the fact that I was not going to try to run this time made him relaxed.My sleep was something that disturbed me. After knowing that he was somewhere out, I was scared.Scared that he might find me, hurt me.Like he had in the past,Like always.It happened every night that I would snap open my red eyes full of tears, my heart racing, and a concerned look on Danzel's face as he would always barge in, hearing me screaming. After that he ma
Angelina"Come on. We have to head back." Danzel said softly.I wiped my tears and nodded. He kept his hand on my back as we walked out. Danzel closed the doors as we left and I even saw his hands gripping the doorknob tightly before leaving it. We took a long turn. This wasn't the way I reached the floor."Danzel, where are we going? This isn't the right way." I said looking up at him."I know. I have to show you something."We soon reached the backyard of the mansion. It was beautiful. He led me to a certain tree and stood in front of it. The tree wasn't as huge and tall as the others. It was maybe a few years old. Not much longer.I looked up at Danzel. He was staring at the tree with hurt.As if sensing my gaze, he looked at me and smiled, forcefully."My mother and Isabella are buried beneath this tree." He said in low voice.I looked at the tree, my tears welling again.I didn't know why but his past made me cry for him. I wanted to hug him tightly...and so I did.I pulled his a
Angelina"I am glad you came back to your senses and gave us a day's leave," Gabriel said across the room.We were having our breakfast. As I had insisted on going swimming he had informed everyone that they could take a day rest while he would accompany me. I was really very excited about it though. It was after many days that I was going somewhere. Ever since that blast in the club, he didn't let me out and with some psycho searching me, I won't be safe. Susan had insisted on joining us but afterward, I don't know why she canceled."I would suggest you rather enjoy your day than working your ass in the office," Danzel said sternly."Why?""Because I won't allow you to take one day off if you continue talking about my senses.""Geez, sorry brother!" He laughed, "I am very much excited to spend my day rather...well." Gabriel wiggled his eyebrows at Danzel and soon all the men giggled at his comment.Danzel smirked and nodded in amusement at him."Well? Everyone knows your definitions
AngelinaWe drove in silence. I didn't bother to turn on the radio this time. I sat there, my hair wet, water dripping from them and falling on my shoulder. Danzel had pulled out another black shirt and pants from his trunk. It seems he always had extra clothes in his car. I could sense him stealing glances at me every while but I didn't turn my head. I kept looking outside the window, staring at nothing. My mind was still not able to digest the things that just happened. He had seen me. My disgusting past. But still, my mind couldn't comprehend that his eyes showed no kind of pitiful expression as I had excepted.You have the most beautiful body I have ever seen, love...How could someone find me beautiful? How could Danzel find me beautiful?? He must have been with tons of sexy women and still doesn't cringe by my scars!I didn't know what to think about him! Never would I ever think he would be so positive about it. Hell, even I was never comfortable with those but Danzel seems tha
AngelinaI slowly closed the door with tears in my eyes, my lips stretched into a smile watching Philip and Susan finally reunite. I was happy for her and him. For them. The way they panicked when I had fake-called them, I knew they are still in love. And I am glad that everything is sorted out between them finally.I made my way towards the hall across my room when a rough hand grab my waist and covered my mouth shut before I could scream and pinned me against the wall with my face. I was about to panic but soon I felt the familiar cologne fanning my breath, instantly calming my senses.Danzel."Tell me," he whispered, "why are you wandering the mansion so late."His hand left my mouth and traveled to my neck gathering my hair and moving it to one side and pressing his lips to my exposed skin.I breathed out loudly and relaxed into his arms."So soft,"He turned me around and kissed me deeply."You didn't answer me, Angel." he pulled away, staring at me."Shh! lower your voice, they'
