SAVING ANGEL のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

GILDA’S POVJapheth had been treating me well, too well.It wasn’t subtle anymore. It wasn’t hidden behind polite instructions or brief conversations. It was open, deliberate, and frequent. The way he spoke to me, the way he watched me, the way he always made sure I was comfortable, it was becoming noticeable.And in a house where people watched everything, nothing went unseen.Jane noticed.She always did.She barged into my room without knocking, grabbed one of my dresses from the wardrobe, and pressed it to her nose. Her brows pulled together as she inhaled deeply.“Not this one,” she muttered, tossing it aside.She reached for another. Then another.Soon, my clothes were scattered across the floor like they had been violently rejected.“What you’re doing doesn’t make any sense,” I snapped. “You look ridiculous. You’re honestly very dumb for even thinking this way.”“Shut your mouth,” she hissed. “You’re doing something disgusting, and I’m trying to find proof.”“Proof of what?” I

GILDA’S POVI never imagined she would go that far.Standing there, watching Jane unravel in front of Japheth, I felt a mixture of disbelief and reluctant amusement. What exactly did she think she was doing? If anything, she was only making a mockery of herself.She stood boldly before Japheth, her shoulders squared, her chin lifted as though she were prepared for war. Her voice trembled, but she forced the words out anyway.“Do you have any idea how hard I’ve worked to become an actor?” she demanded. “I took care of Angel before Gilda ever stepped into this house. I served you. I gave you loyalty. I thought…” her voice cracked, “...I thought you would one day ask me what I wanted to do with my life.”Japheth blinked slowly, visibly surprised by her audacity. It was clear he hadn’t expected her to challenge him, especially over something he had never promised her.“And this,” she continued, gesturing wildly toward me, “this is what I get?”The room fell into a heavy silence.I stood s

GILDA’S POVWe left the room together and headed toward the pool.I had stopped asking Angel what was wrong.Not because I wasn’t worried, God knows I was, but because every time I tried to reach her, she retreated further into herself. The more I asked, the more she pulled away, shaking her head repeatedly, backing up as if my concern itself frightened her.It hurt.It made me feel helpless.I didn’t want to be another person forcing her to relive something she wasn’t ready to face. Whatever she was carrying inside her was heavy, and pushing her would only make it worse.So I let her be. For now.As soon as she saw the pool, her mood shifted completely.She splashed into the water, laughing, an actual sound escaping her, raw and unrestrained. It startled me at first, then warmed my heart. Water seemed to do that to her. It loosened something inside her, something fear usually held tight.She splashed water at me, playfully, her eyes lighting up.“Hey!” I laughed, shielding my face.S

GILDA'S POV I had no idea who I was going to ask. But I will definitely make it known that it was missing. I searched my room again, all over to make sure I was not imagining things. It was not there, I could not find it and it brought so much anger and then it turned to pain. I was so hurt that this was happening to me right now.That jewelry box should never go missing, I was meant to wear them to events and now that it was missing, I had nothing else to wear. I sat on the bed and just thought about the places I took it to, but nothing was coming to my head, I have never taken it out of this room. Jane, she must have been the one in this room, and she must have taken it. I left the room and went to her room, she shares her room with the other maids, so it was going to be better that I see the others there as well. I got into their room and they were all in their beds. " I have something to ask all of you," I said. I had my eyes on all of them, as I paid attention to their fa

GILDA'S POV I could see the shock on their faces when Ethan told them who I was working for. They stayed silent and said nothing. Vera saw their reaction and wondered what went wrong. She looked at Ethan, who also could not understand why they suddenly turned cold and quiet. " I am sure she had something to do with his assistant for her to be here, cheap slut, you are nothing but a cheap thing" Vera said. She expected a lot of agreement towards what she had just said, but she was given the silence of her life. " I thought she was working for some low life people, I had no idea it was for Japheth? It means she gets to see him everyday and literally lives in his villa?" One of them said, " Why? It should be a bad thing that she works there, she's a maid and wants to be some superstar and an A list actress so bad" she said. " I would love it if I am allowed to be the maid in Japheth's house even for a day, do you know what that means? I get to see him and he gets to speak to me as
