Chapter 169
Thea
“He’s going to die because of you.” Those words inflicted horror within me. I stared at the man before me who had a dangerous smirk plastered across his face. He said it and not a glint of uncertainty was detected.
“How dare you say that?”
“So casually? Hmm….” He scoffed and adjusted his eye pad.
“Well gorgeous, I dare to say it because I mean it.” I looked at my folded fist that was vibrating in anger. I opened it slowly to see the note which he had stuffed in my hand.
Those were numbers written on it.
He tilted his head looking at me curiously obviously wondering if I was considering his offer.
“You do want to be free badly don’t you?”
“Of course but never to be with someone like you and if you think threatening Angel’s life would make me change my mind you deceive yourself.” I said my breath getting deeper. He chuckled and took a step towards me.
“I told you already Thea, I’ll have you either way. Which way is left to you. Come willingly to me or I’ll kill him just to have you.”
He blurted again and I wondered if he had his senses intact.
I was definitely going to tell Angel about this and yet he didn’t seem bothered. He obviously had something huge up his sleeves.
“You’re just trying to scare me.” I said but even my voice gave me away that I was scared. Sparrow moved close to me, his fingers on the line of my dress. He adjusted a part to sit right above my breast and I quickly slapped his hands off it.
This was indeed the night of the party, moments before Angel attacked him out of anger.
“Did it work? Are you scared?” He said flashing a villain smile at me.
“Angel won’t go down without a fight.”
“Hmm….” He hummed nonchalantly.
“I’d be surprised if he did.” I looked more confused at him. Maybe I should have insisted on going with Angel then he wouldn’t have walked up to me again to spew all this nonsense.
“Let me say it one last time Thea. You have an offer to leave with me this night and I’ll give you the freedom you desire while making sure you are protected from him and in turn you’ll be my woman.”
“I’ll never be your woman.” I spat the words to his face which he brushed off with a dark smile. He was getting under my skin.
“Fine, we can go through the conditions to adjust.”
“What do you mean?” I shouldn’t be bargaining with him but I had to know what he offered.
“All my life, my own father compared me to him. I was tagged incapable and Angel always praised especially when he had to lead the cartel after his stepfather passed.”
So he was jealous of Angel then. I thought to myself.
“He always won in everything, the girls at the club preferred him, sad isn’t it? I could tolerate that but the one girl that made me want a taste of her everyday….” He paused only to let out a dark scoff. “He managed to beat me in the bid to have her. He even bought you offering higher than I did to that motherfucker Michael.” He said and his face turned serious. “I could have been your master.” I almost puked at what he said but I held it together.
“What exactly are you trying to say? You’ve said nothing.” I said to spite him but he remained unfazed.
“Let’s say I don’t really intend to kill him but as long as he has you, his life will always be threatened. You have no idea how angry I get every night thinking you have him in-between your legs. Pounding that sweet wet pussy of yours that I should be pounding instead.”
I gulped hard, my eyes quickly observing his bulging pants.
“Shit…. you got me hard Thea.” He said and I was filled with disgust and more disgust when he placed his hand over his bulge in an attempt to calm it. “I just can’t bear the thought of him milking you out whenever he wants and however he likes.” He said sounding pissed.
“Well too bad for you then.” I said taking a step back. The guards had been watching keenly but they couldn’t hear what we were saying since we spoke in whispers. There was no instruction to stop me from talking to anyone so Sparrow had that advantage which he was using quite well.
“Refusing my offer would be too bad for you then because when I finally get my hands on you. You’d wish you came to me willingly.”
Fear creeped into me as he said those words. I looked around hoping to find Angel. I couldn’t spend one more minute listening to Sparrow and I didn’t want the guards to cause a scene either knowing he was saying such things to me.
I decided to act calm, smiling instead of showing fear and Sparrow was ready to play along. He smiled back at me even more wildly that it made my stomach churn in disgust.
“So what’s it going to be?” He pressured but I could only stare at him without answers then suddenly someone landed a punch on his face from behind me and my heart sank down my belly seeing Angel. Sparrow had tumbled to his back and Angel had pounced on him beating the guts out of him.
I had tried to stop Angel, talk to him even when he got to the car but he wouldn’t hear me. He was too angry to listen.
Even if I told him about Sparrow’s threat he wouldn’t listen and probably wave it off. When he yelled at me the last time in the car I decided not to say anything.
I decided to let him calm down. Maybe in the morning when he was calm I would tell him what actually transpired between Sparrow and I.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
This was what I thought but little did I know that Sparrow was going to take out his plans on Angel that. We were leaving for the mansion because of Angel’s stolen merchandise but we had no idea we were driving into an ambush.
“…. He will be expecting.” The words from that masked man gave me the confirmation that it was indeed Sparrow. I feared that Angel would have perceived it as a conspiracy between Sparrow and I since I had escaped when he was injured. Also considering the fact that I had talked to Sparrow twice that night when he was out of sight, it was enough to come to that conclusion and if I had my guess right, Sparrow had everything to do with his stolen merchandise as well.
He really came prepared.
When I made for my escape, I went through the woods letting the car lights from the road guide my view. I got to the point where the attack began and could see that they had taken the fight to the front. Their target was obviously Angel.
I pinned my palms to my mouth to stop my sobs from making sounds as I saw the lifeless bodies of men who had been shot. I looked behind me yearning to go back to Angel.
I was scared. What if they got to him? But then what could I probably do to help if I returned. He’d be the first to kill me knowing I ran to save myself but I did it for him.
I didn’t know how true Sparrow’s words were but he just didn’t want Angel to have me. Staying away from Angel would remove him from being Sparrow’s target. I believed I was doing the right thing. Maybe it’d turn to be a stupid move but I’d rather take the chance than risk Angel’s life.
When I was certain that the back was finally cleared, I tiptoed myself to one of the cars that still looked usable. I opened it carefully and a scream almost rippled through my throat seeing that the driver was shot dead and blood spilled over the seats. The other door was opened and the glasses were tinted which made me not to notice him at first.
There was only one choice left for me, to pull him out of the car, I couldn’t walk the highway till I met people. I carefully pulled him out of the car and when I was about mounting the seat a thought occured to me. I swallowed the irritation I felt and searched through his body for a phone but I couldn’t find any so I looked into the car and sighed in relieve when I found a phone lying on the floor of the passenger’s seat.
I felt more relieve seeing it had no password.
I started the engine taking a deep breath, it had been long I controlled a stirring but I felt I still had it in me. If it wasn’t that accident where I almost killed a woman with child I wouldn’t have my hands shaking now but the thought that with more time wasted I could be captured made me eager to drive. I started the engine and soon I was on the road away from all the Chaos. I had prayed earnestly that no car came after me.
When I had gone a reasonable distance, I stopped to dial a number. One of the few numbers I had saved up in my head for emergencies.
