All Chapters of The Broken Angel He Claimed: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Angela's POVI didn't know what was happening anymore as I closed my eyes, when suddenly his grip loosened on my neck.I saw Ian fall. It seemed that while Ian was focused on me, Aaron attacked him from behind. Ian tumbled to the floor, letting out a moan of pain. Aaron rained punches on him.I coughed, my lungs burning for a real breath. My knees gave out, and I dropped to the floor. Ian... he was going under Aaron's blows, one after another.Aaron finally stopped when Ian was helpless. He approached, his gaze filled with worry. “Angela, hey... are you okay?”I managed only a weak nod. No words came out. The world spun too fast, too terrifying to bear. Aaron pulled me into his arms, like he knew what I needed. "I'm sorry... I should've been here sooner."His warmth hit me like a lifeline, steadying the storm inside. I shook, pressing into his chest, tears soaking his shirt, all the fear I'd been bottling up finally spilling out. He didn’t say much—didn’t have to. I was so damn glad h

Angela's POVI clenched my fists, trying to hold back the anger rising inside me. "Ian deserved it," I snapped. Victoria let out a soft laugh. "Deserved or not, that's not for you to decide.

"I've heard about your father's company," she continued smoothly. "You know how easy it is to destroy something that's already hanging by a thread, don't you?"I froze.

But you and your friend crossed a line, and you had the nerve to mess with my family."I opened my mouth to fire back, but she cut me off.“But I’m feeling generous, Angela. I’m giving you a chance. Tomorrow, you testify as the victim. Think it through. The one who almost assaulted you was Aaron. Ian only stepped in to save y

Angela's POVAaron stepped closer. Every inch he closed made it harder for me to breathe. The hallway suddenly felt narrower, like the walls had shifted when I wasn't looking. I could smell his cologne, clean, sharp, mixed with something hotter beneath it. Anger, maybe. Or disappointment. I couldn't tell which was worse. There was nowhere to hide. His eyes didn’t give me even an inch of space to run.“I..." My voice cracked. The word came out useless. I swallowed and tried again, but nothing followed. Anything I said would sound like an excuse. And I had none. I’d messed up, badly.“You played me, Angela.” His voice was low, controlled. Not loud. Not explosive. That calm cut deeper than shouting ever could. “All this time… I thought you were different.”Different. The word lodged itself in my chest. I said nothing. Silence was the only honest thing left. “I trusted you,” he continued. “You were the last person I ever thought would lie to me. Hurt me." His jaw tightened. "But I was
