Chapter 200
Thea
It was incredible how Angel could make me love him and hate him at the same time. Yesterday I had nothing but love for him and today I totally wanted to punch him in the face.
I was proud of myself for standing up to him earlier today. Though he was right about me, I was wet when he said all those words to me but I guess I had gotten better at concealing my true feelings. On the other hand, I couldn’t say the same for him.
It was a very intense moment for us. I was shocked beyond words to see his dick hard and jerking before me. The sparks it sent to my body was undeniable yet I kept my cool.
When he left, I found myself gasping for air. He stole my breath away and I didn’t know just how much until he was out of my sight.
Thanks to him, I missed lunch because my senses were all messed up and I couldn’t meet up.
I was starving, so much that it felt like I’d die. Even though I had begged Lucia who was in charge of my food for the week to spare me some leftovers, she simply scoffed and asked me to get lost.
What did I except? I was a friend to Camilo, her rival in love.
It was torture for the rest of the day as I waited patiently for dinner time. I had cried the remaining hours as my belly rebelled against me.
I was pregnant for goodness sake! I needed to eat so that my baby could feed.
I felt guilty for putting my innocent child through such hardship but I couldn’t tell it’s father not just because of pride but because I was scared of what he’d do if he found out.
Finally, it was time for dinner. I ran the best I could to the mansion not willing to wait for Lucia, she never brought my food to me, I always had to go otherwise I’d starve.
“You’re early this time.” Lucia said without looking at me.
“My food.” I said and she scoffed. She passed me a plate of burnt egg and I didn’t want to believe that was my meal. It looked like it was scrapped from the bottom of a pan with several pieces of it scattered over the plate like it was meant to be disposed.
My breath hitched then I felt my eyes pooling with tears. My breath was shaky now and I struggled between punching Lucia or just taking my food. I believed she did this, no matter how bitchy Irene was, she’d never give me such as food to eat.
“Are you taking it or not?” Lucia said rudely and I directed a glare at her. She looked annoyed and next, she had retrieved the plate turning around to toss it into the waste bin.
“Wait!” I yelled and hurried towards her, I was sobbing now, I didn’t even want to hide my tears. “I’ll take it.” I said stretching my hand to her. She eyed me head to toe and let the plate fall from her hand.
“Ouch!” She mocked and brushed past me leaving the kitchen.
I quickly bent down to pick the pieces that had fallen to the ground and began eating without a care in the world. Within seconds I was done but my tummy had reacted negatively to it and I found myself rushing towards the sink throwing up what I just ate.
I looked at my spew in shock and my tears flowed uncontrollably. I couldn’t go to bed on empty belly so I went straight to the fridge picking some fruits there. I didn’t care about consequences if anyone found out I was behind it. I’d rather die with a full belly than with an empty one.
“Thea?” I heard my name but I didn’t stop eating the apple in my hand. I needed to have as much as I could before it was snatched from my hand. “Thea what are you doing? Why are you eating those?”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
I paused recognizing Camilo’s voice. She came to stand in front of me with a shocked expression.
“Cami ….” I sobbed.
“You’ve had nothing to eat?” She asked softly tearing up as well. She cupped my face in her palms then pulled me for a hug. “I’m so sorry Thea. I should have brought you food everyday.”
I hugged her back and let myself let it all out in her arms.
We broke our hug after a while and she let me finish up the fruit in my hand.
“Thea,” she started softly. “You have particles on your face.” She said looking at me curiously while I quickly wiped them off. I looked towards the sink and her eyes followed mine. She was quzzically.
“I threw up.” I simply said and stood up to clean but she she grabbed my arm pulling me back.
“Sit.” She ordered and moved instead. She put on the tap and went ahead to clean it.
I just stood there watching her. She had no hint of irritation on her face and smiled at me instead once she was done.
“You should go wash up.” She said and I did so, rinsing my mouth thoroughly.
“Now come with me.”
“To where?” I asked knowing it won’t be right for her to be seen with me, it could land her in trouble.
“Caspian isn’t in the room currently. I have some fried chicken which I smuggled out of dinner for you. I just didn’t know where to find you. I was hoping to ask a maid.”
“Camilo… I can’t come with you. What if someone sees you with me? You’ll be in trouble.” I said but she frowned at me instead.
“That’s for me to worry now follow me.”
“No, I can wait for you here.”
“I wouldn’t ask you to come with me if I trusted you. I knew you’d disapprove of me helping.” She countered and dragged me along without giving me another chance to refuse.
My eyes kept darting in all direction as we walked hastily. We finally got to the room and I slipped my hands out of hers intending to wait outside.
“Caspian isn’t coming back anytime soon. They still have an hour to go to the club so you can stay in my room to eat okay?” She said but my thoughts were with Angel.
She mentioned going to the club. It meant that Angel would be having Natalia in his bed tonight. I knew this already, that he had slept with her several times but it hurt like hell. I couldn’t breath thinking about it.
“Thea? Let’s go in.” Camilo whispered calling back my attention. We went in and I had eaten in a haste because I needed to leave in a hurry. I was done within a few minutes. I thanked Camilo and she offered to get me food at least once a day.
We had agreed on a location for that and I got ready to leave. She opened the door and just when I set a foot out a figure blocked my way and I looked up to see the shocked eyes of Caspian looking down on me.
He didn’t say a word but instead looked behind me and I followed. He was looking at Camilo. We were both fucked up.
“What is she doing here?” He asked in a rough and demanding voice.
“I can explain Caspian just let her go.” She pleaded pulling me to her side. I gulped nervously not knowing what to say. Caspian and I weren’t close so I wasn’t sure how he felt about me especially after seeing me in his room.
He looked visibly annoyed at Camilo and I was worried for her. He trailed his eyes back to me and I trembled slightly.
“You do know meeting up with her could cause her troubles.” He said and I nodded regretfully.
“I’m sorry.”
“On your path I’d let it slide but I won’t have it repeat again.” He said and I nodded assuring him as well.
“Go.” He said and I walked past him but turned around to see Camilo. He already grabbed her hand pulling her further into the room and slamming the door hard.
He only let me go but I wasn’t sure about Camilo.
