《The Broken Angel He Claimed》全部章節：第 101 章 - 第 110 章

Angela’s POVThe past few weeks had been insane.Beauty campaign shoots. Luxury brand deals. Back-to-back meetings.And on top of that… I was still fulfilling my contract with Aaron.Just a little longer.Once I had enough money to pay off everything I owed him…I’d end it. This year. No matter what.Lately, things between us had turned colder than ever.He didn’t talk to me anymore.I only showed up when he asked.And I hated how meaningless I felt to him.In his eyes, I was nothing more than someone he used when he wanted to.I kept telling myself I didn’t care. That it was temporary. That I just had to hold on a little longer.But every time I left his house…the pain always came with me.***I had a photoshoot today, plus a short interview with a magazine.And from the moment I woke up, something felt off.I’d already thrown up twice before Beth even arrived.Now I was in the passenger seat while she drove, and the nausea was creeping back again.She glanced at me.“You okay?”“I

Angela’s POVI turned and looked at her.“Lyla? What are you doing here?”She didn’t get the chance to answer before the restroom door opened and someone walked in. Without thinking, I quickly put my hat, mask, and sunglasses back on.Suddenly, Lyla grabbed my wrist.“We’re not talking here,” she said under her breath, almost a whisper. “Come on.”***She dragged me out of the restroom without waiting for my approval.Her grip was tight, her steps fast. I had no choice but to follow as she pulled me down the hallway.We stopped in a quieter side parking area. Only a few cars. Far enough from people.The moment we stopped, she let go of my hand roughly, making me stumble slightly backward.I stared at her, my breathing still uneven.Lyla stood straight in front of me, her arms crossed over her chest. Her gaze was sharp and judgemental, almost mocki

Aaron’s POVThe engine was running, my eyes fixed on the road.Lyla sat beside me, letting out a sharp breath. “Seriously?” she muttered. “Aaron… can’t you at least pretend to be happy when you’re out with me?”I kept my gaze forward and said nothing.“You said you wanted to try with me. But all I see is this…” she gestured at me, annoyed. “That look like you’d rather be anywhere but here.”A pause.“Am I just… your rebound? So you can forget her?”I pulled the car over.Hard enough that the tires scraped slightly against the asphalt.Silence dropped between us.Then I turned and looked at her.“Enough, Lyla.”My voice was controlled.She froze.“I already told you,” I continued calmly. “I’m willing to try with you. But not the way you’re forcing it.”Her lips parted, but no words came out.“I still see you as a friend,” I said plainly. “That doesn’t change overnight just

Angela's POVThe second I opened my eyes, I realized my hands were tied to a chair while duct tape was pressed tightly over my mouth.Panic hit me instantly.My eyes darted around.The rooftop.I was still on the studio building’s rooftop.Cold night wind whipped through my hair while the distant sound of traffic echoed far below.My chest rose and fell fast.Then it all came back to me.That message from the unknown number.The threat to leak photos and videos of me within five minutes if I didn’t come to the rooftop alone.I’d even lied to Beth, telling her I just needed to use the restroom for a minute.The moment the rooftop door shut behind me… someone grabbed me from behind and covered my mouth.And after that, everything went black.I tried to move now, but the ropes around my wrists were too tight.Shit.My eyes swept across the rooftop aga

Angela's POVAaron let out a quiet chuckle.“No.” His gaze stayed cold. "Lyla’s going to be traumatized for the rest of her life.”“You think she’ll still let you stay near her after this?” Aaron continued emotionlessly. “You think she’ll still feel safe around you?”“No…” Lyla’s manager muttered quietly. “She’ll understand.”“Really?” Aaron’s voice remained calm. “If she truly understood you that well, then why were you too scared to even confess your feelings to her?”“Because I didn’t want to lose her!” he shouted.His grip on the knife pressed against my neck tightened instantly.“She likes you,” he said again. “She always talks about you.”“You didn’t want to lose her, or are you just a coward?” Aaron said coldly.&ldqu
