AN : *About Angelina's skin color, I've said earlier at the beginning of this book that Angelina is a brown skin girl, not a dark skin. It's not about being racist about anything. I'm a black(dark) girl and I like my skin color, everything about me. So please, spare me the stress.

*And about Nathaniel also, I like a guy that has v those attributes which Nathaniel possessed, so that's why I created my character to have them. So please, spare him.

*Angelina is a bitch or too feminine or lazy, see I won't take it from you! my characters are me, my characters are part of me, they are my baby. Please respect them, no harsh comments or dislikes because I won't take it lightly.

*We all want to know about her mother, how everything is going, we are still getting there. So be patient *grinning*.

*And if you don't like how I write or my book, feel free to stop reading, don't come to comment about the book.

*And lastly, thank you guys for reading, I love you all ❤️

Now to the chappy.

Chapter 48

Angelina sat Indian style on the marble floor, watching a drama which was recommended to her by her friend. Her face morphed into a comic expression as she guffawed out, her body shaking with the vibration of her laughter when the court became a beehive. She paused the movie when her phone ding in a new message, she didn't want any interruption with her binge-watching.

She raised her head to the clock and saw it was past noon. The mansion was silent, the workers went back to their quarters after finishing their assigned task for the day. Angelina and Nathaniel had agreed to stay in the mansion during weekdays and visit their private house on weekends or during vacations because the distance from their private house to the city was far.

12:20

Foodie Bell :

What's up babe

Angelina grinned when Bell's message came in and sighed, taking a chip before replying immediately.

12:21

Crazy Bestie :

Sky Bell.

12:21

Foodie Bell :

Eh Eh…. I'm around the school campus. Meet me at the usual joint.

12:21

Crazy Bestie :

Okay, hun.

12:22

Foodie Bell :

I'll call Jackie to take you.

12:23

Crazy Bestie :

Aye captain.

Angelina dropped her phone on the table as she left the movie begrudgingly and went to her room to get dressed for the day.

Angelina wore Nathaniel's white sweatpants and grey hoodie which looked big on her but she loved it, the scent, and how comfy it was. She rolled his sweatpants to fit her waist as she rolled the sleeves in to be of her size, she packed her hair in a ponytail and wore a face cap. After she was through with applying lip gloss, she went to the rack and wore black sneakers complimenting her dress.

Her outfit looked badass as her hands were on the pockets, checking the mirror before humming lightly.

She felt protected and safe in his clothes. There was this feeling that women felt whenever they put on their partner's clothes.

Angelina took her purse then phone before leaving a message that she was going out.

_____***____

Nathaniel dragged the booth and slumped on it, adjusting his tie-down, "I left what I was doing when I heard the urgency in your voice" he said, gesturing to a waiter to come for their order, "What happened" he asked his friend who looked at him grimly.

Nathaniel was typing furiously, trying to get all the missed work done when he saw Nicholas call, asking him to meet him and p&p.

He quickly signed all the next papers and told James to cancel his remaining schedule for today and fix them on another date because after seeing Nicholas, he was going home to meet his Angel. He missed her.

"She's gone" Nicholas responded to Nathaniel's question, gulping his drink. Nathaniel could see the stress rolling off his friend and concern in his eyes.

"Who?" Nathaniel asked dumbfounded.

"My little fiery" he sighed.

"Don't tell me, you kidnapped the lady!" Nathaniel groaned, shaking his head for the poor lady.

"Yeah" Nickolas rubbed his face, "I've never been rejected and the urge to protect her, love her was too much, so I took her and made her stay with me" Nicholas mumbled, looking everywhere but not Nathaniel.

"So…?" Nathaniel raised his brow for him to continue.

"So she has been kidnapped again" he muttered.

"Kidnapped again as to how… how many kidnapped apart from your, 'took'" Nathaniel briskly said, quoting his words.

"She was kidnapped by Sara but before we got to where she was abducted, she had been rescued, and…" he groaned tiredly, "Took again… abducted again… there's no fucking clue, it was like she vanishes from the world".

"What of Sara?" Nathaniel inquired, feeling blood lust rushing through his body.

"Butchered," he answered in a dark voice.

"Good" Nathaniel smiled sickened, "We protect what is ours" He growled and Nicholas nodded in agreement.

"What does your fiery lady look like?".

"Hmm…" Nicholas inhaled deeply with his eyes closed, "she like an addiction- the feeling of being addicted to a drug" he momentarily opened his eyes, looking ahead in nothing, "when the drug is not taken a day, the feeling of restlessness, incompleteness and ansty with trembling hands, sweaty body but the moment of taken, the feeling of completeness, and accomplishment are attained" he responded, smiling happily. "She's a fire that can burn me whole and I'm ready to be burned with her sassy mouth…." Nicholas trailed off as he stared at the glass door and hummed.

"It's like you are having a rival" Nicholas chuckled lightly and Nathaniel immediately whipped his head back to check what Nicholas was talking about. His jaw set in a firm line as his face hardened, glaring hard at the place a guy was holding his wife.

Nathaniel stood up abruptly, making the booth scrape the floor making a screeching sound as he turned to his friend, "I'll talk to my security agents and try my best to find her," he muttered, taking a long stride outside as Nicholas smirked knowingly.

Hell was about to blow up.

Angelina locked the door behind her as she hummed lightly to the song she was listening to, wearing her hood over her cap.

She greeted Jack, smiling politely at him, bringing out her phone to avoid any conversation with him.

She opened her WhatsApp and saw many messages from the group created by Hayden. She scrolled through the messages and saw Eric and Erica were having sticker fights while Hayden was the referee. She grinned and hit a send button to the group.

Angelina wasn't able to respond to the message when she felt the car come to a stop, she looked up and saw they've arrived at the shop. She smiled, putting her phone in her purse as she paid the bills.

She got down gingerly, closing the door behind her gently, she turned to move away when her hand was grabbed. A gasp escaped her parted lips, looking at a dishealved jack.

She was shocked, she never experienced this impulsive action from him. Her heart was hammering through her ribcage as she swallowed hard, looking around.

"Sorry…. I don't mean to scare you" he started, using his other hand to rub his neck, "But I wasn't able to ask you during the car ride because I see you were busy," he said.

"Can you please release me?" Angelina said shakily, didn't understand him. He didn't mean to scare her but she was already at the mid-stage of panic.

"No," he responded.

"What?!" she was alarmed.

"Yeah… I mean yeah" he struggled to find his words, "You have been gone for some weeks, so I was worried and I asked Belle and she told me you were on your honeymoon... So…" Angelina interrupted him.

"Yeah, I'm married," she confirmed.

"What? married! when, how, who?" He shot her questions which were starting to make her uncomfortable.

"You can't be married!" he screamed, "I've loved you since all these years, looking for a day to confess but now…" he sneered, "You are fucking kidding me".

"No.." a deep voice said from behind, "because imma fucking adult you now, if you don't fucking remove your fucking hand away from my wife" Nathaniel threatened, coming to stand in front of them as he took Angelina's hand.

"And who the fuck are you?" Jack inquired with a raised brow.

"I can fucking be your favorite nightmare" Nathaniel responded cockily, smirking.

Angelina watched from her husband to Jack then Jack to Nathaniel, looking at caged hands and screaming, "stop it, you guys!".

"Nathaniel, this is Jack and Jack, this is my husband - Nathaniel" Angelina sighed, forcefully removing her hands from their grasp.

"So.. Wifey, can we leave?" Nathaniel smiled.

"Oh I see, I think you'll be different from other gold digger girls but I don't see any difference" Jack spoke with hatred brimming in his voice.

"What?!" Nathaniel stepped forward but Angelina stopped him.

"Yeah, a whore opens her legs for the riches. After him you'll jump to another…" he was unable to finish his sentence when a slapping sound resonated.

"How dare you!" Angelina screamed before slapping him again across the face.

"The truth hurts bitch" he grinned sickeningly, "my eyes are on you now, just watch your back," he said before going to the car and driving off.

"Oh God, I'm sorry" Angelina whispered, her shoulder sagged from the tension.

Nathaniel trailed the car and imprinted the plate number, before smiling at Angelina, patting her back soothingly.

His hand twitched to lung at the guy, he couldn't escape his wrath, a dark gleam swirling in his eyes.

"You did well darling" Nathaniel pecked her forehead as he put his hand at the middle of her back to take her inside.

"Find him" he texted his friend the plate number and smirked maniacally, he couldn't wait to start the torture.

No one touches his Angel and goes away with it.
