"Las Vegas is a city built on hopes, Dreams, and a Little bit of crazy."

Part 28

Angel's Pov

After 5 hours we landed in Las Vegas and I was too tired. In Newyork it must be 12am but here it's only 9pm. And this city never sleeps I guess.

There was a limo outside the airport to pick us up and again I had to sit beside Blaize. I looked outside and tried my best to not feel his presence.

Suddenly his phone rang, but he didn't pick up after checking the caller ID. After like 5 rings, he finally picked up and said "What is it?"

Very straightforward.

"It's not possible Lacey" my breath hitched as he said her name. Are they still in a relationship? Even after marriage?

No, Blaize would never do it, I mean yes he hates me and all that but he would never ever cheat on someone, I trust him more than my life.

He gave me side eyes and said " Okey you can come" she can come? Is she staying at the same hotel as us?

Then I looked outside, the area started to change, it's like we are entering into the forest. What? Are we going to some secret place?

Of course, The inferno would never stay in some hotel, they must have their own secret headquarters or something.

My thoughts were cut off as Blaize told Bryan that Lacey will stay with us for 4 days. Bryan rolled his eyes and cursed.

I smiled at the thought that I'm not the only one who doesn't like her.

Soon we reached the place and my jaw dropped on the floor.

The very large door with the sign Inferno opened and we entered into a Mansion or Villa or I don't know. It's really big with a huge garden and Fountain in the middle. I don't even know what to say.

I didn't think they had their own mansion here.

As we got out of the car, I felt like an Ant in front of it.

Why do they even need a Mansion in the forest?

"Come Angel" Benny smiled at me and I followed her like a lost kitten.

As we walked inside, I thought my jaw would crack anytime soon. I had never seen a mansion this big.

I felt really really cold and uncomfortable with everything so big and expensive.

"Well, let's just rest because I'm hella tired, we will start tomorrow." Bryan said and lost inside this big place with Adrian behind him.

Just then the servants entered with our luggage and I tried to take mine but He said, he will take it to my room.

"Listen Benny, I'm staying in my own room, in Dad's mansion you forced me to share a room with her but not here" Blaize said and walked inside.

Benny sighed and looked at me sadly. "It's okay, it's better if I stay alone," I told her and followed the person who took my suitcase.

I thanked him as we reached outside my room and asked him to go. Just as I entered, God, even beautiful is the short world to describe the room.

It was maleficent, I shook my head and looked around.

Everything was decorated in muddy color giving it the ancient vibes.

I really needed to wash my face and rest because I'm feeling so tired.

There were only two doors in the room and I opened one but it was a balcony giving me the beautiful sight of vast forest. I decided to open another door and Lord.

It was a walk in closet, why do people even need this big closet? Of course rich people have so much money to spend on clothes. There were two rooms again in the closet and I opened one to find the bathroom or should I say another room because it was that big.

It was a window bathroom and I tried to find the covers for it because I didn't want to show people outside my naked self and sighed when I found them.

I washed my face and walked out then decided to check another door in the closet. As I opened it a gasp left my mouth.

It was Blaize's room, because he was standing there facing the wall and putting off his shirt.

A blush crept up my face, it's not like I have never seen his back but that time he was lean and now he is more bulky with all those stretched muscles.

Just as he was about to put his pants off I shut the door and locked it. I ran back to the bed and decided to put my suitcase beside my bed.

I'll bathe tomorrow right now I want to sleep, my heart was thumping very very loud, what if he had seen me? I groaned and put a pillow on my head to hide the blush even if there was no one in the room.

The bed was really comfy and soft and it didn't take long for me to sleep.

Next Day I woke up with my alarm, and it was 7 am. I smiled looking outside. The Forest was really beautiful.

Everything was so beautiful and just as I dream about. Except one thing. You know that.

I sighed and walked to the bathroom, after taking a long shower to wash my hair, I walked out in a towel.

I covered my mouth to stop the scream as I saw Blaize standing in my room.

"The room wasn't locked?" I looked at the door and indeed it was unlocked.

"I have the key for the closet door" my eyes widened at his blunt answer.

Just then I remember I'm only in a towel and Blaize was openly staring at my legs and some unmentionable parts.

"Close your eyes" I told him and tried to open the closet door, but it was locked?

"This mansion has remote keys " he showed a touch phone but it was more like a scanner. "I can lock and unlock any room in here with just one touch"

"Wh-what do you want?" I asked, gulping and holding my towel tightly.

I'm sure I must be beet red right now. "You came last night in my room when I was changing" was it a question?

"I-I didn't know it was your room" he walked to me in slow pace and I pushed myself to the door.

"Still, you stayed there for like 3 minutes" he rested his both hands beside my head and looked into my eyes with so much intensity that made my knees go weak.

I opened my mouth to reply but didn't find my voice because of his close proximity.

My breath got heavier when his hand touched mine. He slid his finger from my hand to my shoulder. Is he trying to seduce me because if that's the case then he is succeeding.

My mind clouded with his eyes and I wasn't able to think anything else.

He brushed my cheek then my hair, "I want you to listen to me very carefully" he said bringing his face really close so that I could feel his breath on my lips.

"I want you to stay away from me and my room" He said and his other hand slid to my waist.

I don't know what to do or say because I was lost in him, I'm this close to him after I don't know how long.

He pulled me closer and brushed my hair with his fingers. "Angel?" He called and I hummed.

From my hair, his hand reached my

Waist. "Angel?" He said again and pushed himself to me. "Blaize" I gasped and held his collar tightly.

His eyes held an emotion which was foreign to me and next what he did was very shocking. He captured my lips in a very seductive kiss.

It felt just as I kissed him for the first time but this time it has emotions other than love. Butterflies exploded into my stomach and I felt myself swimming in the air.

He pulled me closer if that was even possible and I followed his pace kissing him back. His hand then reached my hairs and tugged hard.

He bit my lip and kissed me like he was punishing me for something, and after like forever he pulled away, I was breathless but he looked so normal like he didn't just kiss me breathless.

I was flushed and looked into his eyes, again there was so much pain in his eyes that I wanted to take it all away.

I cupped his face and kissed him again but soon the bedroom's door opened.

Blaize and I turned our head to look at stunned Lacey and Bryan with a dirty smirk.

Blaize left me with a jerk and looked really uncomfortable.

"Nice towel," Bryan said with a smirk and my eyes widened. Again I tried to open the closet door and when it didn't open I hid myself behind Blaize.

"Get out Bryan" Blaize gritted and Bryan left with a wink.

Blaize also left the room like nothing happened and I again looked at Lacey glaring at me with so much anger.

She walked in very fast strides and slapped me hard across my face. It really did hurt this time. "You bitch, Blaize is mine and this is your last warning. Stay away from him or it won't be good for you" she left the room with a rattling door.

Tears escaped my eyes again, everything was going good until she came. Every time when I have hope, it is always broken off harshly by someone.

I tried to open the closet door again and thankfully it opened. I changed into my summer dress because there will be no office today and matched it with white sandals.

I let my hair open to air dry, saw there was a purple bruise on my left cheek. I sighed and decided to cover it with makeup but I didn't bring anything except the lotion.

I'll tell any lie if anyone asked, with that thought I walked downstairs where everyone was laughing.

Everyone's laugh disappeared when they saw me. Blaize stood up and walked to me with angry eyes.

He touched my left cheek and I hissed from pain. "Who did this?" He asked angrily and I looked at everyone then at Lacey who was giving me darling looks.

I gulped and looked back to Blaize "I-I fell down in the bathroom" he narrowed his eyes on me then nodded.

Thank God, I took a sigh of relief. I could have told everyone the truth but 1. I barely think if anyone would believe me and 2. I don't know what would Lacey do if I even utter a single word, so big no.

"Don't lie Angel, it's a hand mark on your cheek" Benny said with a frown. "No it must be coincidence but I fell down really" I said with an awkward smile.

"Well did you have your breakfast?" I asked her to change the topic. She shook her head and we all walked to the breakfast table.

I gave Benny some fruits and milk while I had a sandwich and a coffee.

"To be very honest Angel, I didn't expect your cheek would be bruised, I thought it might be your lips" Bryan said and I choked on my food.

I coughed so hard then felt someone rubbed my back and a glass of water appeared in front of me.

I gulped water as fast as possible and looked at Bryan with wide eyes. "Why don't you shut this stupid mouth of yours?" Blaize said with gritted teeth.

Bryan snickers and leaves the dining room. Soon everyone went out too.

It was only blaize and I left, should I talk to him? But what would I say ? And what if he got angry again?

I was about to say something but he stood up and walked out lightning fast.

Well it's okay, baby steps, baby steps.

I touched my lips and a giddy feeling erupt in me, making me beet red. Is it really the start of our relationship?
