She had chosen a purple fish tail gown that complimented her black stiletto and diamond set. Not to mention it also made the green of her eyes pop beautifully. She had curled her hair and left them open. “How do I look?” she asked Lina. Nervousness coated her words thick. “Just like an angel, madam,” Lina replied smiling. “I hope you are not saying it just to make me feel good,” Angela narrowed her eyes playfully. “Believe me all the men at the party are going to lose their heart to you,” Lina remarked with a wink. A bubble of laughter erupted from Angela’s throat. Nobody loses their heart to a disable like her. No matter how successful or pretty she was, she was still a disable. “I want only one man's heart,” a note of longingness in her voice as she whispered the words. Not much later, Alvira sauntered into the room with her little boy. The little bundle was wide awake and watching everything with wonder in his eyes. Angela smiled and reached for the baby. “How my li
The venue wasn’t very far from home as they had managed to reach in less than twenty minutes. Again, Jonas fetched the wheelchair and helped her out whereas Nikaulas had already climbed out to take a call. “Looks like you are going to hear a lot of thank you from me tonight,” Angela looked up at Jonas and stated. Her voice held a note of disappointment for her husband. “I swear you are the only boss in this world who thanks her subordinates just for doing their job,” Jonas replied in a joking tone. Angela chuckled at his response. “And I am certain you are the only bodyguard in this world who takes his work this seriously,” she shot back. “You are the queen. Can’t take any risk,” “In name only,” she answered smilingly but the pain in her eyes was unmissable. “You are the queen,” Jonas stressed on each word. She didn’t need no King to make her feel her worth. She had Sebastian Hernandez blood running through her veins. She was born queen and she will remain so. A clea
Please understand, I can't break off the engagement, Nik. His family has done a lot for us. I can't back off now. Please don't get me wrong I love you, I really do but I am bound. Besides, your family is in mafia and my family will never approve of it. I want a life where I can walk freely without having to worry about my next breath. I might sound coward but I don't want to be targeted by your rivals all the time for being married to you. I know you will protect me with your life but we cannot predict future. I am sorry I wish we were met in different circuimstances. Her explanation echoed in his head as he watched her coming towards him. He was seeing her after over two years and she still looked just as dazzling. The blue hue of her eyes was still his favorite. A soft smile was gracing her lips, making her look more beautiful. A hint of hesitation flickered in her eyes when they met his gaze but she masked it away with her ever bright smile. "Never thought I would see
Angela looked around in search of her husband. He was noweher insight. "Nikaulas is a lucky jerk for having you. You are a very nice human being, Angela," Theo stated in open admiration of her. Angela smiled but that didn't reach her eyes. She was quite sure Nikaulas thought different. " You, sir, flatter me too much," Angela said jokingly causing him to laugh. "I see you are the modest type," Theo observed. Angela just smiled beforeonce again scanningthe room for her husband. A heavy hand gripped her shoulder all of a sudden. She looked up to find Nikaulas standing in front of her. His expression looked troubled. "We are leaving," he stated and steered herwheelchair towards the exit. Angela was confused by his behaviour. "Is everything alright?" Theo stood up and asked. Nikaulas halted for a second and nodded. "I have an urgent work to see to," Nikau
Theo got to his feet the moment he saw Angela. His lips twitched into an appreciative smile as his gaze raked her beautiful form. Leah also got to her feet and sent a strained smile her way. "Thanks for coming," Angela smiled graciously at the couple. "How could we turn down the offer. Besides, I know Nik wasn't going to invite us ever," Theo replied, flashing her his charming smile. Angela chuckled off his statement and asked them to take a seat. "Umm....where is Nik?" Leah asked after searching the hall with her eyes. "He is at work. I am afraid his work might not allow him to join us tonight," Angela explained to her, giving her an apologetic smile. They must feel weird to not being joined by their own friend. Nikaulas really needed to work on his social skills.Leah looked disappointed as she nodded in understanding and withdrew from the conversation. "Who leaves a beautiful wife like you at home for work. He is a certified fool," Theo scoffed in disapproval. Angela smiled
"This is a beautiful piece," said Leah while examining the jewelery piece in deep admiration. Angela's eyes lit up. " I got it from Italy. I have a weakness for vintage," Angela admitted zealously. "Me too," Leah replied while rubbing her thumb, feeling the intricate details of the necklace. "With this one it was a first sight love," Angela divulged. "You have a lot of first sight love," Leah bit out still admiring the piece. There was a certain sharpness in her tone that Angela missed. Angela passed her comment off as a joke. "I guess I do," she replied chuckling. Leah sighed and set the necklace back in its box. "I must say you are in possession of nothing but only the best," Leah remarked wistfully. The naive Angela smiled, thinking she was talking only about the jewelery piece. She took the box. "Here," she offered it to her. Leah looked up at her in confusion. "For you," Angela encouraged her with a smile."It's yours," Leah replied. "Yes and I want you to have it. I
Angela zipped up the bag and sat back on her heal, exhaling a sigh. Her packing was finally done. A giddy smile touched her lips as she recounted his assistant's words. Sir is going to Netherlands for a few weeks. He wants to know if you are free to accompany him. The wise assistant had twisted his command into a request but Angela didn't need to know that. He wants to spend time with her!She was thrilled beyond words. Hope was pumping vigorously through her veins. Was it the light at the end of this tunnel she was waiting so long for? She allowed herself to hope. Perhaps, he also wants to give them a chance. Only that can explain his sudden request for her company on a foreign land and that too for weeks. A change of place might help. This small development had caused her heart to beam. Maybe this time he would actually see her. Maybe this venture would finally bring them closer. Even if as a friend she was eager to be a part of his life. Angela promised herself she would not let
Angela had just finished her meal when she heard a knock at the door. The woman had disclaimed her wheelchair. She propelled her unsteady legs towards the door and opened it. A tiny plump woman grinned brightly at her. The woman looked to be in his late fifties. She had a kind face and friendly smile. But her downturned brown eyes had a hint of authority in them. "Are you Mrs. King? I am Martha," saying that the woman brushed past her and into the house without seeking permission. Angela stared after her in confusion. The woman turned towards her."I am the housekeeper. Mr. King had called me and told me about your arrival. I am here to serve you," the woman explained. Her voice was a little croaky as if she was having a soar throat. "Glad to have you here, Martha. I must say you have done an excellent job looking after the house," Angela appreciated her efforts. The woman's grin broadened. " I try," Martha replied while appraising Angela with a hint of appreciation.Confusion cros
