Chapter 44
I pulled my shit together and got ready to head downstairs. I had picked a nude coloured dress out of the few dresses in my wardrobe. I tucked my dark hair behind both sides of my ear and headed downstairs.
“Good morning.” I greeted Holf as I stepped out of my room. He let out a low growl in response and from his body reaction I knew he had caught me touching myself that day. Embarrasment washed over me briefly but soon faded the moment I was out of his sight.
As I climbed down the stairs my heart kept hammering. I was nervous to face Angel for breakfast and I certainly didn’t want to annoy him. I finally got to the kitchen standing at the entrance. I gasped seeing the kitchen island sorrounded by everyone, I had thought it would just be me and Angel. I gulped nervously feeling my throat go dry as Angel’s eyes suddenly locked with mine. I knew I was late but then he beckoned me to come and I did so.
Everyone fell silent the moment I came into view, it seemed as though they were discussing something and stopped the moment they saw me. I took a seat close to Angel, it was the only empty chair there and I believed it was on purpose. Florentine and Camilo sat beside me while Knight and Caspian sat opposite us with Angel having the one end to himself as the boss he was.
“Good morning Thea.” Florentine was the first to speak and I responded with a smile. I looked over at camilo and she waved curtly at me with a smile on her face before locking eyes with Caspian who appeared cold. They must have had a fight or so. Knight ignored me digging into his food and I gave a weak smile even though he couldn’t see me.
The men were cold while the women were warm towards me. I trailed my gaze back to Angel who was also digging into his food with a calm expression. I unconsciously licked my lips as my eyes glued on his pink and plump ones, I shook my head slightly as if to get rid of the thoughts that had swarm in, I was still afraid of him yet very much attracted to this man. I cleared my throat softly before picking my cultlery to eat.
“It’s okay knight you can continue with the report. She is family now.” Angel said trailing his gaze from the unsure knight to my confused one. Knight seemed uncomfortable.
Knight nodded slightly and parted his lips to speak. “They’ve been taken care of.” He simply said trying to hide every detail he could. I took my first bite of breakfast, whatever it was I didn’t care to know.
“How exactly?” Angel said relaxing back on his seat as he played with his cutlery. I could see the grin that appeared on his face through the corner of my eyes, he was watching me. Florentine stiffened beside me and I tensed sensing whatever knight had to say was ugly. My tummy churned and my hands grew weak but I held still.
Knight looked at me and continued. ” I fed them to the dogs.” He spat and I gasped and choked on my food, shooting shocked daggers at him with my eyes. Who? To what dogs? I felt my heartbeat race faster than I could follow. My body jerked as I felt the sudden urge to throw up.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“Don’t….” I heard Florentine whisper beside me, her hand squezzing mine beneath the island. I looked across everyone and of course they were used to such uglyiness. Angel laughed silently clearly amused by my reaction.
“And the kids?” Angel asked again and my body washed with irritation. I wanted to block my ear from hearing anything gruesome done to kids. This men were certainly heartless and void of human emotion. I glared at Angel with my chest rising and falling afraid to hear knight’s answer.
“I made preparations for them at the orphanage, they will be safe there.” He said and I relaxed back in my chair sighing in relieve. Angel gave me a smile and I could tell that he was trying to play with my nerves. I almost lost appetite but I was starving. I remained silent throughout dinner. The men kept talking about the mafia and things I didn’t want to hear so I let my thoughts wander and it was dirty and Angel was doing dirty things to me in my head that I didn’t know when a low moan escaped my lips. Luckily their discussions continued I guess they didn’t hear me.
Camilo had nothing to say and Florentine only answered questions and spoke her opinions when it concerned her field medicine.
“Camilo will assist you in touring the place, so feel free to roam.” Angel’s voice jolted me out of my sexual fantasy and I simply nodded. At least I get to walk around and not be locked like some slave who was bought.
My eyes met with Camilo’s and I looked away but something drew my eyes back to her, it was the red mark on her arms and for the first time I noticed her sad eyes, weak smile, dull expression that she tried to cover up with a smile. My eyes was wide at the bruise on her arms and I looked at Caspian who threw me a careless look noticing my observations.
“What happened to your arm?” I snapped my head in the direction of the voice. Angel had beat me to the question. We seemed to have noticed the bruise at the same time. Camilo quickly slid her bruised hand down so we didn’t see while Caspian cut into his meat annoyed briefly having that eye communication he did with Camilo before.
I guess she understood what he said with his eyes and smiled weakly at Angel. “I fell….” She said and Florentine scoffed. Caspian dropped his cutlery and eyed her so rudely that I felt bad for her. “I….”
“If you are going to lie to cover up for him at least come up with something believable.” Florentine said obviously disgusted and Caspian slammed his fist against the table making me and Camilo flinch in fear while Florentine remained calm.
“Sit down Caspian!” Angel’s voice roared and even the angry Caspian was shaken by it.
“Didn’t you hear this bitch just now!” He said fuming again but Angel wiped his lips seeming too calm than I could comprehend. “Better watch your mouth Florentine before it lands you in trouble.” He warned and she laughed silently digging into her food. Caspian seemed more infuriated by it and I swear I thought he would land a punch on her face if it wasn’t for knight who stopped him by holding his arm. The man clearly had anger issues.
I watched his anger dissolve as he looked at Angel who did nothing about his outburst. “I’m sorry boss.” He apologized adjusting in his chair, his eyes darting nervously stealing glances from Angel like he had just toiled on his tail. I was eager to know how things would turn out. Caspian looked scared of Angel now even in his silence.
Angel wiped his lips with the towel and I caught a glint of annoyance on his face.
“I don’t care what you do with her Caspian, she is your slave. Do well to keep the signs of your dealings in your bedroom.” He said and I knew he was referring to Caspian abusing Camilo. He wasn’t going to intervene but urged Caspian to make sure that Camilo’s bruises from the hitting dosen’t get exposed next time. What an asshole? Didn’t he have a mother?
My heart went out to Camilo but there was nothing I could do about it. There was no regard for women in this table with the time spent here I didn’t need anyone to tell me.
Breakfast was over and I headed back to my room. I didn’t get to eat much because it wasn’t so pleasant with everything that had gone down there. I hurried to my bed and laid down there for a while until the sound of my door bursting open jolted me out of the bed. I hurried down to know who had come in so rudely.
“Angel?” I called hugging and rubbing my arms. He closed the door behind him and began taking off his wristwatch.
“I thought you were dressed to leave.” I asked trying to sound as calm as possible even though he was giving me the chills. His back was turned against me as he dropped his watch on a stool. He went ahead to undo all his button flinging his shirt on a sofa then he turned towards me, his eyes trailing the length of my body cravingly.
“I changed my mind.” He said and unbuckled his belt, his eyes still glued on me. I kept swallowing fluid as my throat kept getting dry. My body tensed as Angel began walking towards me with predatory steps feasting his eyes on me like I were some prey.
“Breakfast wasn’t so pleasant.”
“A-and?” I asked almost shuffling back.
I shivered slightly at the domineering aura around him and I wanted to hide under the bed. He got to where I stood and his figure towered over me making me feel small and light. He raised my chin to face him then his lips parted to speak.
“I want to eat you, milk you out so bad with my cock.” He leaned down beside my ear and whispered. “I want to feed your pussy with the taste of sex you’ve been craving throughout breakfast.” His last word made my eye bulge. Had I been shamelessly letting my arousal show at breakfast? I looked at Angel and he pulled away with a dark smirk on his face ready to savour and devour the meal before him.
“Was it that obvi….” I gasped unable to complete my words as Angel suddenly reached out to my dress shredding it into pieces and making me naked before him.
