Chapter 56
Everyone’s blood drenched and they all stared in horror at the numerous shots Angel pulled at Thea. No way anyone could survive from such bullets. Angel stood in front of Thea. His back against everyone, he was still pointing his gun at Thea and his arms shook slightly before he pulled the last trigger.

Thea
I wrapped my arms around my head shielding me from Angel’s attack, not that it would stop him from pulling the trigger or the bullets from piercing through my skin.
“Angel no!”
I screamed in horror dreading the outcome of his fury. I heard several gunshots that my ear felt like it was bleeding from the defeaning sound. I heard the sounds so close to me and yet I felt no pain.
After a while the gunshots seized and all I could hear was the very irritable sound inside my ear. A stinging whisper that stressed right into my brains. My ear felt like a large drum was blocking every other sound from the outside world and a still quiet but torturous whistle echoing inside my head.
My body jerked from fright and I heard another gunshot close to me but yet no pain. I wondered if my fear was that strong that I couldn’t feel the pain of the shots at me. After a moment of utter silence, I withdrew my hands from my head.
I was alive.
I turned slowly to look at the figure before me. It was a little blurry since I had my eyes shut tightly but I could still tell who it was. Angel stood there, pointing the gun at me, I could see the slight smoke escaping from it’s mouth and my quivering body only became worse. The image my eyes caught soon became clearer and I could see Angel better. He still looked very furious but he had not hurt me. He only shot the ground beside me.
I saw him drop his gun on the floor and turn his back against me before walking out. I held my face in my palms crying out my heart in relieve and lingering fear from almost being killed. I was alive but already traumatized.
“Thea! Thea!”
I heard Camilo and Florentine yelling my name from the distance as they ran towards me. Camilo crashed into me hugging me tightly. She sobbed along with me rubbing my shoulders to calm me down but I was inconsolable.
“You are okay now, it’s fine, it’s fine.” She kept whispering.
They both helped me back into the mansion and made me sit on the bed with my legs folded. I wasn’t talking, the whole shooting scene kept replaying in my head and I kept thinking I was one second away from death.
They tried everything they could to make me feel better but nothing worked. Florentine had suggested I be left alone but Camilo was stubborn and stayed with me throughout the day.
I was laying on my side with Camilo behind me when the door suddenly burst open. We both jolted out of the bed to see the huge man, Holf.
“What do you want?” Camilo asked with a shaky voice pulling me behind her as if to protect me from him. Holf only sneered and walked with huge steps towards us. With a single arm he threw Camilo to the ground and grabbed my arms harshly.
“Stay still.” His voice came out hoarsed and I pressed my lips together stopping myself from protesting.
“Hands.” He said and I reluctantly brought my hands forward. He looked at me and cuffed both my hands then he tore a tape and sealed my mouth with it.
“Holf, what are you doing? Where are you taking her to?” Camilo asked matching forward but he threw a slap across her face which sent her falling to the ground. Tears trickled down her eyes then he came behind me and sealed my eyes with a blindfold. Without saying any other word he hauled me over his shoulders and carried me out of the room.
After walking for sometime he let me down and released my cuffs but I felt him hanging my hands on both sides of a pole. I fidgeted wondering where I was. Apparently Angel wasn’t done with me.
I felt a sting of pain as Holf tore the tape away from my mouth which caused me to hiss. Then he removed my blindfold and I blinked several times to clear my vision but there was nothing there to see. It was completely dark in here and I wondered how he was able to move through the dark. I felt him leaving and I parted my lips to speak.
“Wait!”
I called and I heard him stop. ” What does Angel plan to do with me?” I asked and it was silent for some seconds before his large foot began walking away. He opened a door and I could see bright light from that end but it wasn’t enough to illuminate the room. The door was shut and I was left in utter darkness.
I kept gulping hard in fear and I felt like I was going to pee on myself then I heard the sudden sound of a lighter and the spark of yellow light that soon faded. My blood froze within me and it felt like I was living out a horror movie.
“W-who is there?” I asked in a low voice as warm fluid made its way down my cheeks. The lighter came on again and I gasped seeing someone’s face slightly visible in the dark then my brows creased recognizing who it was.
“Angel….” I called softly and ta red light suddenly came on illuminating the place mildly.
The space was empty and spacious and the only furniture here was the cushion Angel was sitting on and an extension by the wall full of several BDSM equipments.
Just what I had gotten myself into?
Angel lit the lighter again and this time a cigratte on his hand which he started smoking. He wasn’t saying anything, he only relaxed back on the cushion and stared at me for a while before he suddenly stood up.
A chill washed over me as he began approaching me with slow and domineering steps. I was quivering and I couldn’t stop my tears from flowing. The smell of his smokes filled my nostrils as he walked around me till he stood in front of me again.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
He lifted my jaw to face him and he blew the smoke he trapped within his mouth into my face. I struggled not to cough so I held my breath for as long as I could before releasing it.
Angel left my jaw and grabbed my cheeks instead.
“Please… I’m sorry ” I cried out.
“Shh… Shh… shh.” he hushed and placed his head on mine, then he began nuzzling me inhaling the air around me.
“You betrayed me Thea.” He whispered and brushed his lips slightly against mine. ” And for that I’m going to make you pay.”
