Alle Kapitel von The Broken Angel He Claimed: Kapitel 91 – Kapitel 100

Aaron's POVDinner was over. Lyla’s parents had already left.But I wasn’t done with her.And now here we were, sitting in my car.“Now,” I said, my voice low. “You want to explain, or do I start guessing?”She stayed quiet.But I could see her hands clenched tightly in her lap.“I just sped up something that was already going to happen,” she said finally.A faint smirk pulled at my lips.“You went too far, Lyla.”“You brought your parents into it. Made assumptions. Then expected me to play along.”Silence hung between us before she spoke again.“But you still sat there,” she said softly. “You didn’t deny it.”I let out a short laugh.“Don’t mistake that for agreement.”“I just didn’t feel like humiliating you in front of them.”I saw the shift in her expression. Her eyes started to gloss over.“I would do anything to be with you, A

Angela's POVI sat in my apartment, waiting for Beth to pick me up.I’d just been discharged from the hospital last night. The doctor said it was a mild concussion. Technically, I was cleared to go back to work.I was still a little dizzy, but it wasn’t a big deal.This project couldn’t be put on hold for too long.Some of the crew and cast had stopped by to check on me. They brought flowers and fruit, asked how I was doing, made sure I was okay.But Aaron…He never came.Just one short message, asking how I was.I didn’t know if that was concern… or just him making sure I could still fulfill my part of the deal.I hadn’t gone back to Aaron’s place.After the accident, my name started trending again. A few photographers had begun sniffing around. They weren’t following my every move, but one wrong picture… and everything could turn into a proble

Angela's POV“I don’t know,” I muttered.“I don’t even know what to call this.”I swallowed, my fingers curling slightly at my sides.“You asked me once… if I was jealous. If I liked you.”His brow creased just a little, but his eyes never left mine.“I couldn’t answer you back then.”I let out a slow breath. My chest felt tight.“Is this jealousy?” I continued. “Because every time I see you with her, it feels like something’s squeezing my chest.”“Is it because I like you?”“Because I hate it when you ignore me. I hate it even more that it works."“If this is about the contract,” I said quietly, “Part of me doesn’t want that to be the only reason I’m here anymore.”I held his gaze.He didn’t say anything. Just watched me.Tha

Angela’s POVI turned away the second I saw Aaron kissing Lyla and walked straight back into the restroom.My chest tightened, my eyes burning. I gripped the edge of the sink, staring at my reflection in the mirror.Stupid.I shouldn’t have let things go this far.I knew exactly where I stood with him.I should’ve remembered that.I turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on my face, hoping it would dull the ache.It didn’t.The restroom door opened, and Beth walked in.“Well, there you are,” she said.“What's up?” I asked.She studied me for a moment. “You okay?”“Yeah.” I gave a small shrug. “Just a little dizzy. I had a bit too much to drink.”“Did you throw up again?”I shook my head. “No.”She nodded. “Come on. Let’s go back inside.”

Aaron’s POVI stood there for a few seconds after her hand slipped from my arm.She was already asleep, but her words were still hanging in my head.I turned and walked out of her room, heading downstairs to mine.I stepped into the bathroom. Cold water hit me the second I turned the shower on. It should’ve been enough to clear my head, but it wasn’t.I braced both hands against the wall, lowering my head as water ran down my face and neck. But I wasn’t seeing the white tiles in front of me.I saw her.Her face.The way she looked at me.The way she said she wanted to leave without hesitation.My jaw tightened.Fuck.What the hell was I thinking?I let out a rough breath.She wants to leave.That should be a good thing.That was the plan from the start, wasn’t it?Break her. Make her give up. Make her feel what I felt back then.
