Chapter 96
“Mum… I didn’t leave town. Angel bought me to be his whore.”
” What?”
My mum asked horror filling her eyes as she pulled me behind her. Scott was shocked as well but not in disbelieve. He obviously knew the kind of life his son lived.
I saw Carl running down the stairs along with some other bodyguards sorrounding us.
“Denzell, my suspicions were right. Order your men to secure the mansion and seize Angel’s men.” Carl said to the head bodyguard through his radio.
“Angel…?” Scott called putting a step forward. “How could you?” His voice was gruff as he spoke, peering into Angel’s eyes who had nothing but anger towards me.
“Stay out of this dad. I don’t have to explain myself to you.” His voice came out hoarsed. He was talking to Scott but his raging eyes were on me. I looked away in fear not wanting to catch his dreadful gaze.
I was terribly scared. I just hoped I made the right decision.
“She’s your stepsister!” Scott yelled but tried not to take any steps further.
“I don’t care!” Angel yelled back and snapped his head towards my direction. He held that look of feeling betrayed. I had a mix of emotion. I was scared yet sad that I betrayed him again. If it weren’t for him I wouldn’t even be alive.
“Come over here Thea.” He ordered me. My feet grew weak at his order but I held my mum’s arms tightly.
“She’s not going anywhere with you!” Carl’s angry voice came and Angel scoffed. “You have one option here, to surrender. Denzell has your men by now and the police will be here anytime soon.”
” You wish…” Angel said clenching his jaw and my heart leaped in fear at what he meant by that.
“You have five seconds to come over to me Thea or I’ll turn here into a blood bath.” He threatened and I shook in fear sobbing behind my mum.
“Five…. four….”
“Angel! Son… Please. You don’t have to do this.” Scott tried reaching him but he continued his countdown. My mum held my hand firmly trying to calm me but I kept quivering with tears streaming down my face.
“Two… One.” He stopped and there was silence as we waited to see what he was going to do. “Come in.” He said after the pause then it dawned on me that Angel had anticipated my betrayal and had everything planned out.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Screams echoed over the hall as the door burst open with lots of armed men trooping in. They were more in number than the mansions bodyguard put together. How did he get them all here?
The floor made a thudding sound as Angel’s men threw some guards over the hall. They had some in captive. Carl and the other guards pointed their guns at Angel’s men.
“Order your men to drop their weapons or I’ll have your head first.” Carl said pointing his gun at Angel who simply laughed at him.
“Carl what are you doing?” Scott scolded through gritted teeth.
” I’m sorry sir, he might be your son but I’m only doing my job.”
” Don’t you dare pull the trigger on him or I swear I’ll kill you myself.” Scott said. Of course, he wouldn’t lose his son because of me.
“Then what about my daughter Scott? He used her as his whore! I’m not letting her go to that monster of a son you have!” My mum yelled at her husband. I was helpless. All this was happening because of me. I couldn’t bear to see anyone hurt just to protect or have me but I was terrified of what Angel would do to me if I followed him back.
“Drop your weapon or I’ll shoot.” Carl said not wavering at the number of men before him. “Denzell, are you there?” He tried reaching out to the head steward but no reply. “Denzell…?”
“We took him out first don’t waste your time.” One of Angel’s men said and my jaw fell in horror as Denzell, the head bodyguard came tumbling to the ground.
“Your security is a child’s play Dad. Make sure to sue the company after this.” Angel said and took a step further but Carl stopped him taking another.
“One more step and I’ll shoot.” Carl threatened clocking his gun. Angel scoffed again acting unbothered.
“Carl….” Scott called but he ignored him.
Angel took another step totally ignoring Carl’s warning. Did he think he was invincible? Carl adjusted his stance still pointing the gun at Angel.
“Angel stop! Please!” I yelled. I didn’t trust Carl not to follow his threat and I didn’t want to lose Angel. The thought alone scared me to death.
“Then come to me.” He said but I shook my head as tears trickled down my eyes.
“Don’t move. I’m warming you!” Carl was holding out his patience but Angel was daring taking another step.
“One more word from you bodyguard and I’ll have your mistress head.” Angel warned and directed our eyes up the staircase revealmvg one of his men aiming his gun directly at my mum.
“Oh my God! Oh my!” I said fear engulfing me.
” Put your weapon down now! Carl! He’ll do it.” Scott said and I was shocked. If he knew Angel that well enough to know that then I was done for. I couldn’t let anything happen to my mum because of me.
“You have five seconds to come to me Thea or….” Angel demonstrated blowing my mum’s head off with his fingers. I gulped hard seeing the beast of a man he was. I was busy falling for him while forgetting he was a heartless mafia, no different from the rest.
I felt my mum’s grip tighten on me and I looked at her regretfully.
“Mum….” I called softly and she shook her head in dissaproval.
“Don’t… Dont….” She said as I pulled my hand away from her.
“I can’t let anything happen to you. I’m sorry.” I said to her and pulled my hand completely away from her then with a heavy heart I took steps towards Angel who only gave me a death stare.
Once I was a little distance away from him, he grabbed me by my hand and spun me halfway so they my back hit against his chest. I gasped at the sudden act and was hyperventilating out of fear.
Angel wrapped his arms around my neck chocking me at the same time.
“Shh… shh… shh.” He whispered beside my ear. ” Breath… breath… breath.” He kept whispering. I looked at my mum and couldn’t stop my tears from flowing more seeing her tear up as well. I knew her heart was wrenching at the sight of her only daughter being taken captive before her.
“Martin!” Angel called and Martin hurried up to us. “Take her home. I don’t want to drive with her in the same car. I’m not sure I can hold my temper.” He said and tossed me into Martin’s arm who grabbed me immediately.
I was taken out of the hall leaving Angel in there. I just hoped Carl didn’t hurt him and he in turn didnt hurt my mum.
