Chapter 198
Angel
Heavens decided my misery wasn’t enough because after that day I found myself stalking Thea.
I was obsessing over her again like it were the first time and I did nothing to resist it. The dark desires within me was coming to shore and their were crazy things I wanted to do to her to make her suffer.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
That look of disgust in her eyes for me lingered in my mind and tortured me every second of my life since then and watching her work herself out didn’t fill me with the satisfaction I craved.
How do I punish her? How do I make her bend to my will? How do I make her fear me and beg for mercy?
I wanted her to hate betraying me but all she ever did was prove that she had no regrets.
Most importantly how do I make her want me?
Crazy…. But that was exactly what I wanted deep to the core of my soul.
I wanted her to want me lustfully, romantically which ever was possible. I wanted it so bad only so I could use it as a weapon against her.
Like I did in the very beginning.
This was me, burying every good she ever brought out in me. Linking back with my old self and weaving it together with the person I became right after her betrayal.

“Boss….” I heard my name and got distracted from my stream of thoughts. It was Mike and he standing before me with an envelope in his hand.
I looked up curiously at him but when I saw the stamp on the envelope I knew who it was from.
I took a draw out of my cigratte and trashed it on the ash tray by my side.
“Open it ” I ordered and he did so.
“What does it say?” I asked looking into the distance while replacing my empty hand with a glass of wine.
“Antonia has invited you to the games he’s hosting at the Casino.”
A scoff stretched my face. What was Antonio planning now? Having me and Sparrow in the same game knowing our long time feud.
“Will you be going? Sparrow will be there.”
” I forced a smile then I took the letter from his hand going through it myself.
“What are the chances that I’ll miss such an opportunity Mike?” I said and his eyes flashed with confusion at first.
“I don’t see any.” He answered with a bit of uncertainty. “Do we need to get ready for something big?” He continued.
“No. That would be giving him too much clue and making us look so easy. I’d rather be silent and let him drown in curiosity.”
“And Antonio?”
“I don’t trust that sly bastard. He could be Sparrow’s accomplice in all this. The men should be ready and I mean starting this very minute. Gather all you can about Antonio’s recent movement.” I said standing to my feet. I gulped the last of my drink and made my way past Mike.
I had a beauty to stalk for the day.
I went to the warehouse where I found Thea cleaning, she looked worn out and my conscience didn’t dare bother me now because she deserved every bit of it. I stood at the upper floor with my hands folded across my chest. I wondered why she wasn’t turning around to see me. She usually noticed my presence and I had been here long enough for her to notice or was she just pretending not to feel my gaze on her?
I exhaled heavily and just when I was about to give up she tilted her head to the side.
“Yes, that’s right, just turn around.” I muttered and she did with her eyes meeting mine . She definitely felt me watching her otherwise she wouldn’t have looked up instead and to my fucking direction.
My lips curled into a sneer at her hardened gaze on me. I was mad that she despised me.
I released both hands on my chest and slid them into my pockets instead as I made my way downstairs.
When I got down she was still standing there waiting for me, obviously curious as to why I had come.
She looked lean, maybe leaner than yesterday. I just hoped she didn’t die of stress. Maybe if she begged and crawled at my feet I would think of something less agonizing.
Fuck it! Why would I even consider lessening her pain? What was wrong with me?
I clicked my tongue realizing that my anger already surfaced in my expression. I could tell Thea was nervous but she masked it up immediately the moment my gaze returned to normal.
“What do you want from me this time?” She asked avoiding my eyes. So now she couldn’t even stand my face.
I had no answer to her question or maybe I just had too many reason to pick a favourite.
“Are you just going to stare at me forever? I’m giving you the audience because I thought it’d be something meaningful but you look clueless.” She spat and I clenched my jaw while trying to control the anger she ignited within me.
She finally looked at me with those eyes of hers and I found myself melting under her gaze.
They were beautiful….
