ANGELAfter everything, I went back to my hotel to plan my next course of action. I knew I could not stay in the city for longer. Mason was a vindictive person and would comb the entire city to get revenge on me when he got better.Even if I left for Paris, I had a feeling he would still search for me because he knew about my plans to relocate there. I didn't want to put Sia in danger or trouble her unnecessarily, so I had to cut off communication with her for the time being.I would have gone to a different city but I had to find my mom. Even if it was the last thing I did, I wanted to let her know that her daughter was alive. I wanted her to know how much I loved her and wished that I had grown up with her.There was a face I could not forget though, no matter how hard I tried; Alex Duke's, Ashton's cousin.As I sat on my bed, my mind traveled back to the first time I met him. From the moment he walked into the room to check my legs, my heart skipped a beat, but only because I was a

ANGEL I blinked repeatedly and sniffled, "Most of what I've told you is the truth. I was indeed crippled when Sia's boyfriend tried to force himself on me at night, while Sia was out partying. I fought him with all my might and that was the night I got back my legs. However, he did not get to witness my miracle. He had turned his back on me to take off his pants, after throwing me on the bed, because he thought I was helpless. However, I stood up and knocked his head with a pressing iron. I thought he died that night because he bled a lot. I went back to my wheelchair and pretended to still be crippled. When Sia came back in the morning, he was still lying unconscious on the ground. She rushed him to the hospital in tears. When she returned from the hospital, I told her that her boyfriend tried to rape me last night but she wouldn't believe me. She trusted him too much, more than she trusted me. When she met him at the hospital, she told him what I had said after he regained

ANGEL I raised my hand immediately to return the slap Miss Long's legs gave me but paused midair. I had no idea who she was or why she slapped me. I had too many cockroaches in my cupboard and suddenly found myself afraid of shooting myself in the foot. I had to find out what was going on before trying to do anything to her. Alex who had heard Miss Long leg's voice seemed to have recognized it and quickly met us at the door, while I put my hand down. "What the hell are you doing here?" He angrily asked her. "Are you stalking me?" "Baby, is this the reason why you've been avoiding me?" She asked, her tone had become calm. "What part of 'I don't want you in my life anymore' don't you understand?" Alex shot back and I scoffed. I could not believe she had slapped me for such a stupid reason. I raised my hand to quickly return the slap so I could give them their privacy afterward. It would have been the perfect slap if Alex had not held my hand. "What do you think you are

ANGEL After Finn left, I ignored him and began to prepare myself to go to work the next day. The following morning, I immediately got ready, got dressed as well, and waited for him to get back because I knew he was eventually going to leave for the company. As usual, he came home late and I didn't say a word about it. After he got dressed and wanted to leave, he noticed that I was dressed up to leave as well and asked, "Where are you heading to?" "Isn't it obvious? I'm going to my company," I replied. "What for?" He asked. I scoffed, "Come on, Finn, we've been over this. I own 60% shares in that company, if I don't work now, when would I?" "How about never?" he replied. "Listen, Angel, I've been in that company almost all my life, and I've worked my butt off to get it to the level it is today. There is no space for you in that company." I folded my arms, "And why is that?" "Well, because you have no experience," he replied. "What do you know about working in a compan

ANGEL As I walked away from the company and got into my car, I thought about how Finn wanted to get rid of me and it made me remember my Mom.She had been so sick but the doctors had been unable to find out what was wrong with her and when I first met her, she seemed a little healthy, although she admitted to me that she had been battling ill health. Her sickness worsened after I came and she ended up dying after I got married to Finn."Could it be that my mom was killed?"I trusted Finn because of how much he cried, but what if he was the one who killed my Mom? I recalled the short moment we spent together and how amazing it had been. I eventually shook the thought off my head, "No, do not dwell on that, Angel. Finn might be a scumbag, but what if he genuinely considered her his Mom?"I could not accuse him without evidence, so I decided to focus on the task at hand. I drove my car to the company I needed to sign a contract with. "Swift Industries."I stared at the skyscraper an
