Angel

The darkness was thick. I was in the garden. The roses were not red; they were the color of dried blood, and their thorns were as long as needles.

I turned, and the black dog was there, it was starring and suddenly began to take calculated steps towards me, I did not wait I ran..

"Help!" I tried to scream, but my voice was a puff of smoke.

“Run! Run, before he gets you!” a voice spoke from behind

“Is getting close” another voice screamed.

"No!" I screamed.

I sat up so fast my head spun.

    AngelHis fingers lingered at the tip of my hair, slowly twirling it as if it belonged to him.Like I belonged to him. My body went stiff. Every nerve in me screamed danger, but I couldn’t move.“But what if I use you as my payment? I think you will come with me,” he murmured, his voice soft, too soft.My breath hitched.“How does taking me along with you solve the problem?”My words fell into the air like they meant nothing.One of Pedro’s men laughed.A low, mocking sound.“Boss,” he said, glancing at Pedro, “she has a sharp tongue.”Pedro didn’t respond immediately.His eyes were still on me.Watching.Calculating.Then slowly, very slowly, his lips stretched into a smile. The kind that made my skin crawl.“You think this is about money anymore?” he asked.My throat went dry.“What do you mean?” I whispered.He stepped closer.Too close.“I gave your father time,” he said. “I gave him patience. Respect.” His voice dropped. “And he gave me nothing.”My chest tightened.“I said I wil

    AngelI had already prepared for the presentation.At least… I had an idea.My laptop was open in front of me, and I was working on the slides, typing fast, deleting, rewriting, adjusting.Everything had to be perfect.This was my chance.Fifteen minutes.That was all I had left.I glanced at the clock again.My heart was racing, but this time, not from fear.From excitement.For once, I felt ready.For once, I felt like I could actually do this, My fingers moved quickly across the keyboard.Slide one.Slide two.Slide threeMy phone rang.I ignored it.I did not have time for distractions.But it rang again.And again.I glanced at the screen.My breath hitched.Stepmother, Rosaline.My heart skipped.For a second, just a second, hope filled my chest.What if it’s about Papa?My fingers hovered over the screen.Then I picked up the call.“Hello?”Her voice came in immediately.Shaky.Panicked.“Angel… Angel…” she cried. Rosaline does not cry unless it's serious, which already made m

  • The cursed Alpha’s Contract Bride    The Test

    Angel“Why?” I asked.He just stared at me.Emotionless.Like I was nothing.My question did not even deserve an answer.“You should have asked me before you signed the contract,” he said calmly. “Maybe if you were not so desperate, you would have remembered to ask that question.”“I was not desperate,” I barked back, my voice shaking slightly. “I had no choice.”“And what makes you think you have a choice now?” he replied immediately. “Or a right to answers?”His words hit hard. Too hard. I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. I just stood there, staring at him.Anger burned in my chest, tears gathered in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall.Do I even have a choice?If I walk away, won’t he try to frame me for attempted murder?Papa still needs care.I can’t just leave.I can’t.Before I could say anything else, his phone rang.He picked it up without looking at me.“Yes,” he said.The door opened almost immediately.Maria walked in.“They will be ready for the present

  • The cursed Alpha’s Contract Bride    Why?

    AngelWhy would he tell me to use the stairs? We were just three; we could have used the elevator. He is always grumpy, but why would Bianca lie about their engagement? Or are they truly engaged to be married?I dropped my things on the desk, picked up the file, and walked down the hallway slowly, holding it tightly against my chest.As I got closer to Drake’s office, I saw the door open. Men walked out. One after the other, their faces were tight.Angry.Frustrated.No one spoke.No one looked at me.But I could feel itSomething had gone wrong inside.Then I saw her.The grandmother.Standing tall.Cold.Beside her stood Bianca, her expression serious. There was no trace of the smile she wore when the press appeared. My steps slowed, but I did not stop.Their eyes fell on me.Sharp.Judging.“Still here?” the old woman said, her voice low.I noticed something.She kept her voice controlled.Not loud.Not enough for others in the hallway to hear.Everything about them was controlled.

  • The cursed Alpha’s Contract Bride    Get out

    DrakeI knew I should not have let her enter the car with me.From the moment I saw Bianca walking toward us that morning, I already knew she was up to something.She is always up to something.And yet.I still let it happen.Not because I wanted to.But because I needed answers.The Rebels had attacked.She was there.She was bleeding.And yet she said nothing.Not a word about what happened.Instead.She smiled.She flirted.She acted like nothing had happened.That alone was enough to put me on edge.But what I did not expect—Was the press.The moment we stepped out of the car, they came from nowhere.Cameras.Voices.Questions.Too many questions.Too fast.Too planned.My jaw tightened immediately.She set this up.Of course she did.I turned slightly, ready to walk away from the chaos.But then.Her hand slipped into my arm.Tight.Possessive.“Bianca,” I muttered under my breath.She only smiled.That same perfect smile.The kind that fools everyone.“Mr. Crane! When is the we

    AngelI shut the book quickly and pushed it away from me.“No,” I whispered.My heart was still racing.“It’s just a story… just a story. But why do the letters feel so alive?”I lay back on the bed and pulled the blanket over my body, trying to force my eyes shut.Sleep.That was all I needed.Just sleep.But every time I closed my eyes, I saw it again—The boy.The well.The eyes.And then Bianca.Her blood.Her lifeless body.Everything took turns in my mind, like shadows fighting for space in my head.I turned to the other side of the bed.“This is silly, Angel. You’re overthinking.”I squeezed my eyes tighter.Minutes passed.Then more.Still no sleep.I groaned softly and sat up.“I need water,” I muttered.I slipped my feet into my slippers and walked toward the door.The hallway outside was quiet.Too quiet.The kind of silence that made every small sound feel louder.I walked slowly, careful not to make noise.As I got closer to the stairs—I heard voices.I froze.They were
