“un-derstood?” Theodore asked to Angela after he finished explaining.
She nodded with a cheeky smile.
“Wow was easy thanks Theo” She said.
She continued re-ading in silence while Theodore stared at her. His gaze stayed on herl-ips as she occasionally took them in or li-cked it. He didn’t know when he leaned in…
“Theo, how about this one…” She said and looked up to him. Their face were so close and theirl-ips inches away.
“Theodore?” She called which brou-ght him out of his thought.
“Sorry, you were saying?” He said.
“I was asking what are the different methods used in reducing inflation in a country?” She asked.
“Oh that’s simple you see…”
He began explaining to her and he intentionally placed his hand on her hand. Angela noticed it and stylishly took re-moved her hand.
He wasn’t Happy about that but he kept a pas-sive look.
“Do you un-derstand?” He asked…
“Yeah thanks”
Nina who was standing at the door walked away feeling….jealous.
“Alright I nee-d to go for my tutorial” Angela said and smiled before walking away.
Theodore stared at her walking away and smiled.
“How can I fall in love with my brother’s wife?” He thought
Right now his thought were all messed up.
ā ā ā ā ā
Nina walked to the garden and sat down there not feeling too good…
“He,,,he’s having feelings for Angela” She said sadly.
Well ever since last time when she bu-mped into her, he was always in his mind. She didn’t know how but she fell in love with him…
*What were you expecting? That he falls in love with you? You’re just a commoner with no clas-s at all* Her conscience said to her.
“But what’s the difference between I and Angela. Aren’t I beautiful just like her? Besides she’s married to his brother” She said to no one.
She sighed and sat on the gras-s beside a small lake as she brooded alone…
** Four hours later **
“Wow br@vo Miss Angela, you un-derstand really fas-ter” Her tutor said.
“Thanks sir” She replied with a smile.
“I’ll stĀ©p there and continue tomorrow, have a nice day my future Queen” He said and bowed.
Angela chuckled and nodded… He walked out.
“Finally today’s clas-ses are over, what can I do” She thought.
She glanced at the clock and it was still noon.
She sighed loudly. She doesn’t know what but she misses Jackson.
“What can I do now, my dance clas-ses start by 6pm. I still have five hours free” She said to herself.
She stood up and walked to Nina’s room but she wasn’t there.
*Where could she be?* She thought…
She searched for her in the kitchen, dining room, guestroom but she wasn’t found. She decided to now go to the garden.
She walked in the garden and saw her sitting beside the lake with moody expression.
“Nina?” She called
Nina looked at Angela and smiled vaguely…
She walked up to her and sat down beside her…
“What’s wrongs Nina?” She asked.
“Nothing Ela” She replied.
“Nina, we promise not to hide things from each other. plea-se tell me everything”
Nina looked back at her breathed out loudly.
“It’s about Theodore” She said.
“Theodore? What’s up with him” Angela asked.
“Well I think I fell for him” Nina said sadly.
“What!! That’s good then,,,you should be happy” Angela said smiling.
“The problem now is that I think he loves you” Nina said.
“What? Me? What are you talking about?” Angela asked surprised.
“Isn’t it obvious? From the way he looks at you to the way he smiles at you to the way he always stares at you and also he tried to initiate a bĀ©dy contact without you today” She said.
Angela thought about it and it’s true what she’s saying.
“You are right about this. He is in love with me” Angela said.
She tĀ©uƧhed Nina’s shoulder and she turned to her…
“Don’t worry about that, you know very well I don’t feel anything for him. I only see him as a brother. Relax okay?” Angela said.
Nina finally smiled and found herself relaxing. Maybe that’s the word she nee-ded to hear.
“Are we cool now” Angela said with a smile.
“We’re coolest” She said and hvgged her as they laughed.
“Come on let’s go have fun!!” Angela said.
They stood up and walked out of the castle. They entered a car and drove off with some bĀ©dy guards tailing behind them in another car.
They got to the club and danced out their worry, luckily for her nobĀ©dy knows who she is. Not until next month when a royal wedding will be held. For now she’s enjoying her life of a carefree woman…
They danced till their feets where aching.
After the club they now bought some ice cream before heading home.
As they arrived home, it was 6pm sharp. Angela glanced at the where the cars where parked and sighed.
*I seriously miss that strong headed kid*
As she made to enter the house someone hvgged her. From the looks of it, it was a woman.
“Aaahhh!! I can’t believe I’ve finally met my brother’s wife” She squealed as she hvgged her ti-ghtly almost choking her”
Nina stood aside and watched them with a confused expression. Who is this woman?
She re-leased Angela and began checking her out.
“Wow so beautiful, I envy your blonde hair”
“Thanks” Angela said awkwardly.
“Dayanna, could you plea-se allow Angela to breath?” Stella said coming downstairs.
“Dayanna?” Nina and Stella chorused.
“Yeah it’s me. Sorry for not presĀ£nting myself to you I’m Dayanna, Jackson and Theodore little sister. As soon as I heard he was married, I took the first flight to Denmark but unfortunately I had a delay” She explained.
“Nice meeting you Dayanna” Angela replied with a smile.
“Oh my, you have such a cute smile. Jackie must really be lucky”
*Jackie?* Angela thought and almost laughed.
“Mum where’s uncle Jackie wife?” A voice spoke.
Dayanna made way and a little boy walked up to Angela. He looked just like Dayanna. Anyone will know that it’s her son…
“Here she is” Dayanna said pointing at Angela.
“Angela here’s my cute son Richa-rd but call him Richie” Dayanna said.
Angela crouched to the level of Richie and smiled at him.
“Hello Richie, how old are you?” She said.
“I’m 03” He replied holding his teddy bear.
Angela ruffled his hair.
“You’re such a cutie” She said.
Richa-rd smiled and hvgged her.
“I love you alre-ady. plea-se take care of my uncle, he has a fragile heart” Richa-rd said.
“Sure I will” She replied and hvgged him back too.
“Aww I nee-d to take a selfie of this moment” Dayanna said and brou-ght out her phone.
“Every bĀ©dy say cheese!!” She said.
“Cheese” They all said and she took a pic.
They walked in to the living room and sat down.
“So Angela tell me everything about you” Dayanna said
“Uh, it’ll be story for another time” She replied
They chatted happily that they didn’t see the time pas-sing by today…
Richa-rd walked up to Angela and pu-ll-ed her hand. She nodded and obeyed him. They walked up to the hallway and stĀ©pped there.
“I know you’re not Angela” He said while c@rĀ£ss!nghis teddy bear.
Angela froze as he heard it. How did this kid get to know about it…
“How do you know?” She asked shocked.
“I have some special abilities like you. I can see some visions throu-gh dreams just like you.” He replied.
“plea-se take care of uncle Jackie, a very evil person is about to emerge and if care isn’t taken he will harm uncle because of you” He said and finally looked up at Angela.
Angela stared at him confused…what’s this kid talking about??
“I know you don’t un-derstand me but just reflect on what I just told you” He said and smiled.
He held her hand and then walked back to the others.
“Where have you two been?” Dayanna asked.
“I wanted to pee so I asked aunt Angela to guide me to the bathroom” He replied.
Angela nodded. He re-leased Angela’s hand and then went to his mother who picked him up and placed him on her l@ps
Angela stared at him confused by what he just told her.
*What could this kid mean by what he said* She thought
She sat down with the others and began discussing though her mind lingered to what Richa-rd said.
“I have to go and freshen up” Angela said and stood up then walked to her room.
She str!pped and took a quic-k shower. After that she got dressed into her nightie and then glanced at the time. It was alre-ady 9pm and Jackson hasn’t return home.
Honestly she’s freaking out right now especially after what Richa-rd said to her. What will happen to Jackson? Who is that evil person?
She closed her eyes and reminisced about the dream she had back then when she was still living with Paulina.
The dream where there’s a man who was tied in chains, covered in blood and where she was asked to shoot the man.
She g@sped.
“Could it be Jackson the person I sh0t in my dreams?” She said to no one in p@rticular.
That even scared her more.
“No that can’t be, even if he’s Jackson I won’t let that happen to him” She said again.
She nodded determinately.
*I nee-d to clear off my mind from all this* She thought.
She picked up a robe and wore it over nightie before wearing her fl!pflops and then she walked out of the room.
She walked to the study room in order to pick a book to re-ad. Lately she’s becoming a book add!Ƨt…
She walked in and was surprised to see Theodore there.
“Theo what are you doing here? Your sister c@mĀ£ to visit, you should be with them Right now” She said.
“I don’t feel like to besides I alre-ady saw them earlier when you were away” He said and and stood up from where he was sitting…
“Okay I just c@mĀ£ to pick a book to re-ad. I’ll be leaving now” She said and turned to leave but he caught her hand.
“Wait” He said. Angela looked at his hand holding hers and then back at his face.
“Can I ask you a question?” He said.
“Sure” She replied and stylishly took away her hand from his grip.
“Do you love Jackson” He asked.
Angela looked down, de-ep in thought weighing if she loves him or not.
“I don’t know” She replied honestly.
Theodore smiled at the answer. He took her hands and held it firmly such that she won’t get out of his grip.
Angela stared at him confused,,, hoping it’s not what she thinks…
“Angela, I think…I think I love you” He dropped the bombshell.
Angela tried to re-lease his grip from her but it was too strong…
“Ever since that day where I saved you, you’ve always stayed in my mind. I know it’s crazy loving my brother’s wife but that’s how I feel” He said and pinned her on the wall…
“Theo, let me go” She said trying to push him away but he pinned her hands on the wall.
“Theo…
Before she could finish her words, he sealed herl-ips with his, k!ss!ngher hungrily…
Angela’s eyes grew wi-de open in surprise…
