Chapter 187
Thea
When would it end? This suffering, this pain. My body was breaking down and my mind was a mess.
It was four in the morning and here I was scrubbing the kitchen floor on empty belly. My body was quivering from starvation and the pain in my belly was getting unbearable.
I looked at the fridge in the kitchen and I was tempted to grab food from it. I looked around for prying eyes even though I knew cameras were here. What if Angel was watching? Should I even care about that because my belly was rebelling against me. I took a glass and fetched some water from the tap, I had been trying to hold out the entire night with water but it was getting useless.
I dropped the glass harshly on the kitchen island glaring at the fridge as if it were the cause of my predicament. What was the worst that could possibly happen?
I dropped all the care in the world and went straight for an apple in the fridge. I took my time eating it gradually even though I just wanted to munch everything at once to fill my empty belly.
I took another and eventually drank the milk I found there. My tummy didn’t seem welcoming at all but I refused to throw up again and who would explain the missing apples by morning?
After I was done I rested my back against a stool and gradually I started reflecting on my life and everything that led to my present situation.
How did my life turn into such a mess?
“Don’t cry Thea, don’t you fucking cry again” I scolded myself amidst my heavy breaths. I bit my lips which were quivering to stop myself from sobbing but I eventually gave in and now I was crying in pain.
“Mum….” I cried hoping she’d come to my rescue. “I need you. Why haven’t you come for me since then!”
I felt anxious thinking about it now. Didn’t Sparrow mention something about my mum at the party? There was no way she wasn’t doing everything she could to get me out of here and if she had not succeeded, Angel was to blame for it. He was behind it all frustrating her efforts to see her only child and I let him because I never questioned him about it. What kind of a daughter was I? I was enjoying my life too well with him that I forgot how miserable my mum would be because of me.
I snapped out of my thoughts, there wasn’t time to cry and reflect on the past, I needed to work for my next meal and face the reality of another woman in Angel’s life. It still seemed like a joke to me. He couldn’t possibly be with Lola, he couldn’t just throw away all that we shared so easily.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
I went on to finish cleaning the floor and by this time it was past five in the morning.
I was about to leave having concluded my duty when I heard distant sounds. I wasn’t sure but I was curious so I headed towards the direction of the voices I heard and it took me to the entrance of the mansion.
I peeked through the corner of the wall and saw some movements then I saw Florentine who was standing in wait and realization dawned on me.
She was waiting for the men who were returning from the club.
Angel had returned to his old habit since I was no longer his lover… Just cool!
The thought of him with another woman at the club tortured my heart. I waited patiently as some men stepped into the mansion. I didn’t see Knight or Caspian and Angel was yet to appear.
Suddenly a female figure walked passed the entrance and my eyes bulged in shock as I recognized her.
Natalia….
“How could you Angel…?” I muttered to myself as tears pooled my eyes. I saw Natalia looking back as if expecting someone to come in and that someone was Angel because the next second he walked past the door and she quickly wrapped her hand around his neck pulling him in for a kiss.
Florentine didn’t seem comfortable with the sight so she looked away but I couldn’t as pain ravaged my entire being.
It was killing me slowly, watching them in such a position. He looked comfortable and she looked extremely happy.
Angel took her by the hand and began leading her away, I was engulfed in pain so I clutched my dress tightly, just anything to help the pain. I was holding it all in, I was really trying my entire best to hold down my emotions.
My eyes followed them but then I froze as Angel suddenly glanced my way. Our eyes locked and he stopped getting Natalia confused. The moment I saw her head turning in my direction I hid behind the wall but Angel had already seen me.
I quickly wiped off my tears to seem normal, I wanted to peek to see if they had gone already but I was too nervous to do so. I’ll just wait it out because if I left while they were still there they’d probably see me leaving.
After waiting a while I decided it was time to leave but the first foot I set out got me bumping my head against a hard and bulging surface.
A gasp left my throat and my eyes widened in shock at the man before me.
My entire body began experiencing an influx of senstions and my heart an explosion of emotions.
My desire increased it’s flames and the very sight of him seizing my breath. I trailed my eyes slowly from his chest up to his face and his angry eyes were boring into my bitter ones.
