Chapter 284
Thea
Now the air between Angel and I was awkward. I didn’t know how to act right now especially with his intense gaze on me.
“I’ll be heading to my room then.”
“It’s too early for bed.” He said blocking my way with his arm.
I pulled it down and said “I know.”
“It’s nice out here.” He said stopping me again. Was he trying to make me stay with him?
“Sure.” I said softly and tried to move away from him but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back gently. His fingers moved quickly to my face, caressing my cheek and causing me to shudder.
He was doing it again, getting my senses all stirred up.
“Angel?” I called nervously.
“You keep avoiding my eyes.” He said and chuckled sadly. I felt embarrassed like I had been caught doing something bad.
I couldn’t even say a thing, I was speechless. He gave me an even brighter smile and my heart raced fast that I begged it to slow down.
I bit my lip then sucked it in as I caught his eyes staring at them cravingly.
“… god! I want to kiss you so bad.” He blurted and I was taken aback. My senses heightened knowing I wanted it too. I swallowed hard, sighed sharply, tried to speak only to shut my mouth. “Thea?” He called as if asking for permission but I was too nervous with the surging feelings his touch brought about.
He leaned down bringing his lips close to mine and I trembled. I was shaken by the sensations I felt from it. My lips quivered even when I tried hard to make it steady.
“You’re trembling.”
“I know that already.” I said hating that he had to point that out.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
“Do you want this?” He asked looking at my eyes from side to side.
“I….”
A hum from behind cut me off. Shit! Angel sighed feeling annoyed and I looked behind him to see who it was.
Natalia, that fucking bitch!
I returned my gaze to Angel and when I saw that he was about pulling away, I arced my hand to the back of his neck, pulled him back and kissed him.
He didn’t move when I tasted his lips so I felt unsure and tried to withdraw but he pulled me back in and ravaged my lips with an intensity I never expected.
He french kissed me such that I started moaning into his mouth and it wasn’t even intentional.
“Angel?” I heard Natalia yell from behind us. She sounded pained to her core and I loved every bit of it.
“Angel I need to speak with you.” Her voice almost came out teary but that wouldn’t do. I broke off from our kiss despite seeing that Angel wasn’t willing to let go.
“He’s busy, can’t you see?” I said and saw the horror etched on her face. She looked very jealousy and like I said pained to her core.
Angel pulled me back and continued to kiss me unapologetically and Gosh! I fucking enjoyed it. Especially since we did it in front of Natalia.
“Angel!” She yelled more loudly like we didn’t hear her before.
I pulled out annoyed and Angel muttered the words ‘I’m sorry, I’ll take of it.’
I decided to leave, I couldn’t stand seeing her face but the moment I walked past her, I felt a sharp pain as my hair got tangled in her hand. I screamed in pain as Natalia dragged me back by my hair.
“You’re nothing Thea! You’re never going to have him!” She cried still dragging my hair while I tried to free myself. Angel was quick to come to my rescue but it seemed Natalia decided to use up all her strength on me.
“Let her go this instant.” He ordered.
“No, I’ll fucking kill her!” She yelled amidst her cries.
“Natalia! I said now!” He thundered and I felt her hand loosen. Just when I thought she was going to let go she tightened her grip so Angel seized her hand. I didn’t know what went up there but whatever he did to her hand caused her pain. My guess was that he gripped her arm so tightly that she couldn’t endure the pain so she let go.
She was forced to pull away yet quick to come at me again. This time around I grabbed a fistful of her hair not giving her the chance to touch me again.
“Stupid bitch!” I cursed and pushed her to the ground.
“Thea stop!” Angel called but I ignored him and mounted Natalia. One thing I knew was that I was strong enough to go one on one with my gender. I only got beaten up because they always came in group back then at the strippers club.
I landed a punch to her mouth, like I said I wanted to disfigure it. When I raised my hand to land a second punch Angel lifted me up from the ground.
He carried me over his shoulder while I protested till he let me down.
“Are you hurt?” He asked showing concern when I blew air to my knuckles which hurt from punching her.
Natalia wasn’t giving up, she stood up with dishevelled hair and ran towards me but was stopped by Angel as he grabbed her by her belly and pulled her to the side.
“One more step Natalia and you’ll be out in the street.” He warned.
“Can’t you see what this slut did to my face Angel” she yelled pointing to her bloody lips.
“Call her that name one more time and you’ll pay for it.” I huffed not satisfied with his threat.
“No, that won’t do.” I said and went to her. “You need, to learn, how, to shut, your mouth.” With each word came a hot slap to her cheek. She staggered till she fell to the ground. I sighed sharply feeling a lot of my pent up anger washed on her face with those slaps.
It wasn’t enough compared to what she did to me back then at the club but this was better than nothing. I turned around to see Angel, he had a rather proud look on his face. I guess why he didn’t stop me.
The way he looked at me did get to my head but I tried not to show it.
“You deal with her, she’s your problem after all. You brought her here.” I said and left without waiting to see how he went about it.

“You should get up now.” Angel said to Natalia. She haden’t gotten up even after a minute. She was sobbing to the ground and it was embarrassing to look at.
At first he really didn’t want a fight to break out but seeing Thea defend herself confidently, he was proud. He also understood Thea’s reaction came from a place of grudge after everything Natalia had done to her so he let her have her moment.
“Get up, you’re to leave tomorrow morning.” He said again and Natalia turned to him with red eyes. He was startled at first seeing her swollen face. Thea did a huge one on that.
Natalia stood up, staggering and breathing heavily. Tears spilled from her eyes as she spoke.
“Didn’t you see what she did to me?”
“You attacked first.”
“That was because she kissed you just to hurt me!” She yelled amidst her tears.
Angel squinted and chuckled finding it amusing.
“Are you laughing right now Angel?”
“Am I supposed to cry… Natalia?”
More tears spilled down her face seeing Angel’s reaction. She was clearly being mocked by the man she was obsessed with. What was more embarrassing was the fact that she had boasted to Thea earlier that day about how she’d fuck Angel and tell her about their passionate night the next day. She got her first hand embarrassment when she found them kissing.
“I hope you didn’t unpack. We don’t fight around here but you seemed to have brought chaos with you. I’ll put you in a decent hotel tomorrow and provide security for you but you should figure out where to go within a week. I won’t have my men protect you longer than that.”
“Angel, you can’t just throw me out because of that slu….” She stopped herself from saying the word. “I already told you what you needed to know about Sparrow. This goes against our agreement.”
“The agreement was to not throw you out in the middle of the night provided you say something useful. First thing in the morning you’re leaving. I’ll ask Florentine to attend to your wounds tonight. You should go to her.” He said and left paying no heed to whatever it was she blabbed after.
Natalia had gone back to her room engulfed in fury and deep hatred for Thea. She had never been so embarrassed in her life. She wanted to get back at Thea so bad.
“… god! I hate her!” She cried throwing her stuffs across the room. She fell to the floor and sobbed harder until a thought came into her mind.
She quickly grabbed her phone and dialed Sparrow’s number. She could still call him since her plan to get Angel to pity her and provide accomodation failed.
Her apartment was never broken into by Sparrow. She had organized thugs to do so should Angel want to confirm. Her call wasn’t answered the first time and before she made a second try, she noticed the camera in the room. She got pissed and threw a flower vase at it.
She decided to text Sparrow instead in case the room was bugged.
Since Angel believed that Sparrow was after her he wouldn’t suspect that she’d rat again and set him up for a failed mission.
A message popped into her phone few minutes after she texted Sparrow and it read.
“You mean Angel has plans of sending Thea home?”
She scoffed, out of the things she told him which included taking her along with him wherever he went to, that was the only thing he was interested in.
She had recalled that Thea had mentioned leaving in a week time when she tried to get her mad by saying she’d fuck Angel. She felt sparrow would find piece of information interesting.
Again, Thea was at the centre of it all.
“Why couldn’t it just be me? Why can’t they just love me instead?” She cried. Her expression changed to anger and she swore “I swear I hate you Thea. I hate you with my life and I’m going to kill you no matter what it takes.”
