"Why are we here?" she asked softly. He was holding her hand in his warm embrace escorting her into a prestigious boutique."You'll know," That was all he was saying ever since they left the house.The manager escorted them to the VIP section on the top floor. Luca was served some drinks while the manager showed Angela extremely gorgeous dresses."Mr. Perez had asked us to present our finest collection to you, ma'am," The lady said while showing more dresses.Angela had no clue what was happening, but she went with the flow. She chose two dresses and stepped into the changing room.She wore the first dress and stepped out flaunting it in front of Luca who jutted his chin out in appreciation. His eyes glimmered with joyous shine, but his jaw was clenched. Maybe he was stopping himself from pouncing on her.Her exams just finished yesterday, and they have been roaming out of the house since morning.Angela was sad and kind of depressed in the past week because the investors refused to i
Luca tried to comfort her as he cursed himself for giving those details. Angela's heart was aching. She was hurting the man who loved her. She was so cruel. Luca hugged her close to his chest as he laid them both on the bed. He cuddled her close to his chest saying sweet nothings and she slowly drifted into darkness and Luca went to sleep as well. The vibration of her phone brought her out of her sleep as she checked her phone and found a folder that had all the photoshoot pictures that came out so beautifully. She thanked the photographer. Angela felt a heavy weight on her chest. She glanced at the soundly sleeping Luca. Stepping out of bed, she grabbed her phone and stepped out of the room. Angela went to the terrace for some fresh air and to her surprise there was a pool there. The blue water reflected under the crescent moon, sparkling like stars. Angela set their picture in which they were kissing as her wallpaper. She removed her dress and set it on the chair under
Angela was nervous. She was glad that Silvia and Hunter already knew the whole truth. But she couldn't predict the reaction of the rest of her family. On her birthday everyone was so excited to find her mate and she found her mate, she quietly fled, and no one knew about it. They all love Luca, so it won't be a crazy deal like when everyone found out Aurora's mate was Draken. It was complete chaos at that time. If her family could worry about something, then it might be the age gap but then again, her parents had a huge age gap between them. A big hand grabbed her thigh giving it a light squeeze as she glanced at Luca. "Don't worry, everything will be fine," Luca assured her as she passed him a soft smile. If only it was that easy. Of course, her family would be happy for her, but she couldn't wash off the nervousness. For the last two days, she was constantly thinking about the time Luca stopped her from marking him. If he wanted, he could let her mark him, so she was bound to
"You look stunning," Emma said. Her eyes were glassy as she got emotional looking at her baby dressed in a wedding gown ready to enter her new life. "Mom," the girl hugged her mom lovingly as Emma smiled sadly. She was happy but sad at the same time because Angela and Luca would be living in San Francisco rather than in the packhouse with them. Angela has dreams to fulfill and Luca would support her through thick and thin. Emma said she needed to see the arrangements as she left her room. Everyone was busy with the work which left her alone. Angela stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was donning a beautiful white gown, just like that of a princess. Her hair was in a neat bun, elegant makeup, and she looked extremely beautiful. She wondered if Luca would like it or not. The girl was still admiring her reflection when she heard a heavy thud and her eyes snapped on the window. Angela's jaw slacked, finding Luca dressed in his perfect black tux standing near the window immo
10 years later. "Mom, I can't find my cap," Levi yelled from his room. "It's in the second drawer on the left," Angela clamored from the kitchen. "I can't hear you, Mom," He screamed from his room. "You're done for if I find it for you!" She hollered back kneading the dough. "Go, help him. I'll look after this," Daphne said as Angela passed her a thankful smile, washed her hands, and hurried to her son's room. Angela stepped inside only to gasp when she found his room turned upside down. He didn't just do that. "Levi, what have you done?" She was on the edge as the little devil shrugged his shoulders. "I told you I couldn't find it," he said with a pout staring up at his mom. "How old are you?" she asked, tapping her foot patiently on the floor with her arms crossed over her chest. "Eight." "Why does your room look like a five-year-old kid's?" "Are you indirectly insulting me, mom?" She narrowed her eyes at him. Angela stomped over the cupboard, she retrieved the c
"I was looking forward to it," Emma's soft voice filtered through the phone as Angela breathed in deeply, closing her eyes for a brief second. It was always the hardest for her to break her mother's expectations like that. "I'm sorry, mom. I was busy with the upcoming exams." "I know but everyone was there except you. We missed you so much. I want to hug you; you know we all love you so much." "Of course, mom. I love you all more. Don't worry, I'll give you a surprise visit as soon as I'm done with my exams. Take care of yourself." "You too, Angela. Come back home soon." Angela tossed her phone on the bed beside her and sighed staring at the ceiling. That was tough. Angela also wanted to go back home even for a little while, but she couldn't because of someone whom she detests with all her guts. Luca Perez. She still remembered that night as vividly as possible despite all her efforts to forget about it. Years passed and she had successfully maintained her distance from
Past. 5 years ago... "I'm tired. Let me breathe for God's sake." Angela sprawled down on the ground staring at the sky that was dousing in an orange hue of glorious sunset. "You're slacking off," Kevin said, his hands resting on his hips while he glared down at her. "Get lost!" She growled, turning around so her face was buried in her arms while her back was to him. "You're all bruised up and you haven't landed a single punch on Nolan." Kevin pointed out. Angela sat up straight as she glared at him. "Look at him and then me. He's a freaking Gorilla who is ridiculously fast. I'm only training for three weeks. What do you expect from me? I swear to God you make my blood boil." She gritted, pissed at him. Her whole body ached, and she felt like she'd die any second. "You should take a break for today," Nolan said. Kevin disapproved. Angela kicked the back of his leg causing him to fall on his knee as he pinned her with a murderous glare. "You, little devil. Be nice to
Present... "Get in the car," his voice had a raspy blunt quality, an authoritativeness that bleeds out with every word. "W... What?" She stammered, dumbfounded. Angela didn't know how to function. This was the last thing she expected to happen after how hard she was trying never to see him again. "Have you lost your hearing?" Surprise slowly dwindled, and her eyes narrowed at him. His tone was the same as usual, ticking her off. "Not yet but you're making my ears bleed," She retorted sharply. It was subtle but his eyes darkened, there was a slight tick in his jaw other than that he seemed unfazed. She wondered how he knew she was there but recalled how easy it was for him to track her down. Luca took a step forward when a hand grabbed her jacket, and she was pulled behind Milo who now stood between Angela and Luca. Julian came to her aid as well. "You deliberately hit her with your car." Milo rumbled. Luca wasn't even looking at Milo. It was absurd how tall and h
