Chapter 25


    25. Angel


    A table with four chairs greets me, but I want to see the view, so I go to the railing and lean against it.


    When Reyes brought me here, I could not appreciate how big the garden is, but it is bigger than the one


    my father has. Trees and flowers are nted in it. Next to the house is a pool, and a tennis court


    I never yed tennis, but I might try to see if it is something I like.


    Reyes stops next to me, two sses in his hands-one with whiskey, the other with vodka. He gives the


    one with vodka to me.


    put it to my lips and take a long sip, while Reyes looks at me.


    “I was thinking you were a wine girl.”


    I shrug. “Wine is good, but after the day I’ve had, I will need the entire vodka bottle.”


    Hell! I will probably have to drink two or three bottles while I try to understand at what point my life


    became soplicated.


    While my father never said out loud that he was disappointed that I was born a girl, actions speak louder


    than words. I was salutatorian, the second best of my high school ss. When my graduation day came,


    my father didn’t show up. It crushed me, but I hid my disappointment behind a smile. When I was told I


    would not go to college, I did not make a fuss. For months I pondered what to do, before deciding to go


    behind my father’s back and obtain my college degree.


    I never told anyone that I am an ountant. I created a fake identity for my frencer profile. And I am


    not the only one who did this: All my work-rted Information is saved on a private cloud that only I, and


    a few others, have ess to. If someone were to check my oldptop, they would only find photos of


    fashion.


    Reyes drinks from his whiskey. “It has been a great day for me. My blood-brothers and I finally found the


    woman who willplete us


    “Yeah, right,” I snort.


    “The sooner you ept it, the better for all of us.”


    He dips his head and k*sses me slowly. His lips, while soft, aremanding.


    Many women adays dream of having a career. While I wanted to be an architect, I wouldn’t mind having


    a family. But that won’t happen with Alekos, Reyes, or Stefan.


    I am not sure what Alekos agenda is, but I am probably here because I remind him of his younger self,


    when he did not have so many obligations as a the novelty around me wears off, he will let me go.


    “Reyes,e see this,” Stefan yells, from inside the living room.


    Reyes mutters something under his breath, before going inside. I remain on the balcony, finishing my


    vodka, before joining the guys in the living room


    Lord. Once


    The three of them are sitting on the couch, their jaws clenched and their shoulders tense, as they are


    listening to the news. I wonder what got them so angry, so I turn my attention to the TV. There, on the t


    screen, is a photo of me, and next to it, my name and other information about me. Under it is a message


    for me.


    You have until midnight to return home. Untouched.


    It is from Carlos.


    The photo is reced by the reporter, and she is saying something, but I can’t hear it as my ears ring.


    If I don’t return home, Carlos will start killing people. I know his modus operandi. He will first start with my


    friends. Luckily, I pushed most of them aside, and thest time I spoke to any of them was a year ago. I


    blocked all their numbers, before deleting all the messages from them. Since I threw away my phone


    anyway, I hope Carlos won’t find them.


    Alekos


    turns off the TV. Turning to me, he says, “I forbid you to step outside of the house. We already talked


    about this, but I will remind you, in case you have forgotten: you can’t contact any of your family or


    friends. Ever.”


    I grit my teeth. “Despite what you think of me, I am not st upid.”

    Alekos furrows his brow. “I never said you were stu pid”


    “Please! Must I recall how many times you referred to meas

    Alebos looks at me, with a smirk on his face. Like he is better than me.


    Before I say more I


    mone things that I will probably end up regretting, I go back to the balcony.


    “Who’s Chip, and who’s Dale?” Stefan’s voicees from inside.


    “Hay ab,” I snarl. Laughter reaches my eaEL


    I am so angry, my b*dy is shaking I want to punch Alekos and erase that stup id expression from his g


    Stefan joins me, and for a few minutes, we look at the garden in silence. Slowly, I start to calm down. I


    might get angry fast, but I get over it equally as fast.


    “Schatzi,” Stefan starts speaking, and I turn my attention to him. “Alekos is Eke this, because he is


    worried about you. We all a | sorry you felt freed to be ours, but the process of bonding has already


    started-” He stops speaking, and I wonder what he means. “What I mean, in that Alekos will asionally


    say things he willter reget. But he does not think you are stup id” I snort. “Alekos told you not to go


    outside, because if Carles takes you, all hell will break loose. Na one touches our woman and lives to tell


    the tale. Something dark shes in his eyes. “Bride, whatever happened between the two of you, during


    high school, should pemain in the past. If he called you a ‘stu pid bitc h’, I am sure it was because he


    was sour”.


    Stefan is right. I can’t be angry at Alekos over things that happened years a


    “Never thought Alekos could be petty,” I murmur.


    Stn chuckles. “He can be very, very petty.”


    Petty Alekos is very annoying “I might have overreacted.” I finally admit…


    Stefan winks at me. “No harm done. Let’s see if Giselle brought the food,” he says, before going inside.


    I follow him, only to stop in the doorframe. My eyesnd on a tall, blonde woman who is sitting on

    Stefan, like me, is looking at the scene in front of him, dumbfounded. Reyes is nowhere to be seen.

    I am not sure about Stefan, but I am sure Reyes won’t deny to f uck me now, since Alekos is upied.
