LOGINDANZEL —Do you know what is more painful than a fucking boner? It is a terrible hangover.It had been thirty minutes since I sat up in bed clutching my head, thinking about how many drinks I had. Groaning loudly, I got up from my bed, my eyes moving swiftly across the nightstand.Today is the big day. I gotta look decent, I thought to myself.I brushed my teeth and checked myself in the mirror. Yup, I definitely looked like shit.After taking a nice shit, I was washing my hands when I heard a loud scream. Angelina's scream.My feet and hands moved before my brain could tell them to. It was like an instinct, a natural habit of running toward the sound of her.I rushed outside my room and looked around, searching for danger across the floor. I was looking for her, but I didn't find anyone. Another scream echoed through the walls, and I ran, my heart thumping loudly at the thought of her getting hurt. Not today, please not today.Philip and I reached the living room at the same time. He
Five years later...I scrunched my eyelids when the light hit my face. Shifting in displeasure, I snuggled into a warm body. Arms went around me, and I sighed, instantly welcoming the intimacy. The arms tightened around me, and then the fingers spread, slowly tracing my back. I groaned and moved closer, wanting to sleep more, but the man had different plans. He brought his face closer to my hair and breathed out. Straightaway, a shiver ran over my body, and a small chuckle echoed through the silent room.I looked up and glared."Good morning," Danzel said hoarsely with a beautiful smile on his face."Let go of me," I grumbled and moved back.He laughed loudly at my expression and propped himself up to face me. "Someone's grumpy.""I hate you," I said and snuggled into a pillow.I was pushed onto the bed, and a sleepy Danzel hovered above me. He scraped his stubble over my neck and planted a kiss."Danzel," I said, pushing him in vain.His lips traveled up, and then he kissed me. His li
ANGELINA POV I screamed until my throat coughed out dry air. Mike's body fell to the ground with a loud thud; his eyes, wide open in shock, stared at the ceiling. My heartbeat raced under my rib cage.I stared at the man, unaware of what Ace was doing. I heard him curse loudly, and then I looked up.If I was afraid of him before, I was terrified of him now. His green eyes were staring at me hauntingly. I didn't dare to move a muscle.I watched slowly as Ace dragged Mike's body through the living room and behind the couch. Just a few hours ago, this man had fed me and saved me from Ace, and now, he lay dead in the same house."Look what you made me do!" Ace finally spoke.I was too scared to say anything. My eyes stayed glued to the smeared red on the floor. Mike's blood felt like it was accusing me, shouting at me for his life."I was going to give you an easy death," Ace said, coming closer. "But now, you have to pay for the mess you made."After that, a loud smack resonated through
ANGELINA POV I woke up to loud screaming. My eyelids felt heavy against my eyeballs, and I struggled to open them. The pulse near my head throbbed painfully. I heard Ace shouting something, and finally, I opened my eyes. The man, who was friends with Ace, was saying something. I saw Ace breathing fast; the man was telling him to calm down.A loud groan escaped my mouth, and both heads snapped toward me."The bitch is awake," Ace snickered."Oh, thank god," the man sighed and got up. He brought a bottle toward my mouth, and I moved my head aside. I wasn't drinking whatever this man was forcefully shoving."It's just water," he grumbled. "Drink!"This time he took my jaw between his fingers and tilted the bottle. I wasn't going to drink it, but as soon as it hit my throat, I gladly welcomed the water.Once he was done, he pulled the bottle away and checked my jaw. The cuts along my cheek stung when he dabbed his fingers on them. I shut my eyes and hissed in pain."Christ," he swore and
DANZEL POV "We can also put up something for collateral if you wish, Mr. Parker."I shook my head. "There won't be any need for that, Mr. Simon. I am sure I can trust your word."He smiled and then handed me the paper. I took out my pen and finalized the deal."We look forward to doing business with you, Mr. Parker," he said, shaking my hand."As long as everyone's happy," I said and smiled.All the other members got up, and I walked toward my office. My fingers immediately searched for my phone, and I checked it. No reply from Angelina, which meant she was upset. Philip walked in with some files in his hand."Are we going straight home?" he asked me. "Or are you planning on getting some drinks with the client?""My girl's upset because I hung up on her. What do you say I should do?" I said, looking at the details in the file."Is she?" he laughed. "Definitely the girl, boss.""What did my sunshine do this time?" Creed asked, strolling in behind him."Nothing new," I murmured, foldin
ANGELINA POVI heard faint murmuring. The pain in my head echoed through the depths of my mind. I wanted to massage my head and squeeze it between my fingers to try and lessen the pain. The excruciating agony made me want to crawl somewhere safe, into the warmth I desperately needed.My eyes fluttered open, and I blinked. My face was covered in sweat, and my hands—I couldn't move them.Gritting my teeth in pain, I moved my head and looked around. There were many people around me, some shuffling and some sitting quietly.I was on a plane. I looked over to my left and saw no one. My mind was dizzy, and my entire body felt heavy as I struggled to call the flight attendant. I strained my neck and patted the seat next to me to get her attention.She looked over at me and smiled. "How are you feeling, Ms. Jones?"Ms. Jones?No!"I want—" I struggled to say.She leaned in to listen to me, but then a hand stopped her. Through my heavy lids, I saw him saying something to her, and she watched me
"Mom!"A sob escaped my mouth at the sight of my mother. Six months, it has been six months, since I last saw her. I squealed with happiness and threw my arms around my mother and hugged her tightly inhaling her scent, her love. We both were in tears when we pulled away."Mom!" I hiccupped, "I-I misse
AngelinaIt has been two weeks since I last saw Danzel. Two weeks since I came to know about Thomas's death. I cried every night. I couldn't accept the fact that he killed my friend. I knew he was a dangerous man but never did I ever think that he will try to do something like this. Even though he's
Angelina - My mind was still occupied with what Fiona said a few days ago. I kept replaying her words, straining my mind on how complicated her relationship with Ethan was. He was my stepbrother, a man who sold me to my biggest nightmare for money. I didn't know him. I didn't even know he existed. B
ANGELINA —I stared blankly at the wall ahead of me. The cold water stung my eyes but I didn't care. All my mind could think of was the words Danzel's father spoke last night. I don't remember anything after that, mainly because I fainted right there and woke up in the morning.This is what you get wh
