Chapter 55
Angela’s POV
All I could think of were Darius’s words for the next few hours. His words affected me but I chose not to believe him. It has never always been me. He chose a different woman every time our paths crossed.
I had to force myself to sleep and soon enough, I regretted I did. Although it took me a few hours to finally sleep, my nightmares woke me up several times. I could feel hands on my face, suffocating me. I couldn’t breathe. At some point, I saw myself being pushed down a cliff. I wanted to scream but I couldn’t.
By the time I woke up from a frightening nightmare the fifth time, I gave up on sleeping. I knew the reason why I was having those nightmares and I knew they got worse because someone wouldn’t mind his business and not make me a stupid artist workshop.
I didn’t need one. I would never need one. I reached for my pill bottle and groaned when I realized I didn’t have a bottle of water in the room.
Sleep–deprived and reluctant, I dragged my feet to the kitchen to get some water. I was wearing a round–neck shirt I picked up. randomly from my luggage. It barely managed to cover my buttcheeks.
“Can’t sleep?” Darius’s voice suddenly echoed, scaring me. I jumped in fear before I could figure out it was him. I sucked in a deep breath as I glared at him. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
He was sitting in darkness at first but after he spoke, he switched on the lamp with him. He was in the dining area holding a pen and a file.
“What are you doing?”
He raised the file. “Working!”
“What are you doing here? What happened to the Alpha’s mansion?
“I hate it there. I prefer it here,” I raised an eyebrow. It was getting difficult trying to understand Darius.
“Yeah! It’s your house. Do whatever you want,
“Can’t sleep?” He asked again. I hid the drug in the middle of my palm.
“I sleep soundly. I just want a bottle of water. I was thirsty,”
“What’s in your hand?” He asked. This time, he was on his feet.
I had to act smarter than him. I walked closer to the dining table and touched the file with a fake smile on my face.
“What are you working on?”
He ignored me. He walked right past me into the kitchen and I almost cursed under my breath. I had thought he was coming. after me, I took a glimpse at the file but I couldn’t understand what was written on it
“Nibbles, your brain capacity can’t comprehend that. Don’t bother reading it
I almost dropped to the floor. My mouth dropped open and my face turned pale.
Did he just insinuate that I was too stupid to understand a simple document?
“What?” I gasped.
“What?” He asked, pressing a bottle of water on my skin and 1 grabbed it away from his hand.
“I’m not stupid,”
He smirked. “I didn’t say you were. The handwriting is a bit complicated. The file is from another pack. I’ve already made a request for a new one. If possible, typed. No idiots use pen to write a stupid file these days,”
He clenched his jaw so tightly I wondered if it hurt him.
Thanks for the water,
I forced the words out of my mouth as I began walking away.
“If you can’t sleep, you could either use the pill or come into my room,” he suggested.
I turned to him and glared hard. “Stay away from me,” I warned.
“You say you hate me but you still wear my shirt from five years ago,”
I looked down at the shirt I was wearing and I almost cried. It was indeed his. The last of his shirt that I kept for myself. I didn’t even check what I was wearing twice. My clothes were all over the place and I needed something to sleep on.
A feathered kiss dropped on my hair and I shuddered. I knew it was Darius but I didn’t want to face him.
He ran his hand over my arm, leaving goosebumps at each spot he left behind. He dropped another kiss on my shoulder and I felt butterflies flutter in my stomach.
I wanted to drop every pride in me and turn to him. I wanted to kiss him and beg him to take me right there but I couldn’t.
Not after everything he’d done to me. He’d made me feel less of myself and at his mercy everytime. I shouldn’t do this.
“We can do this the easy way, He whispered in my ear.
I swallowed the moan that was making it’s way to my throat. “Or maybe not,” I replied. I didn’t sound like me at all.
He was so close to me that I could feel his hard bulge pressing into my back. My senses were disappearing and the earlier I moved away from him, the better.
In the blink of an eye, I took several steps away from him.
“I don’t want you touching me again, Darius,”
He raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure?
“Yes. I hate it when you do. It makes me hate myself and I hate hating myself,
“And you’re sure you won’t regret this, Nibbles”
“Stop calling me that ridiculous name,”
I shook my head furiously. I was trying to convince myself more than him. “I won’t regret my decision. If you need a slut at your disposal, go to Daisy because it seems the only thing I have control over in this pack is my body,”
“Daisy shouldn’t be a part of any of our conversation,”
“The moment she walked into that dungeon and treated me like trash which I’m pretty sure was on your orders, she…” I stopped talking and took a deep breath.
“What did she do to you?”
I frowned.
“Why don’t you ask her?”
He moved closer to touch me but I moved away and screamed.
“STOPP
“Tell me what she did and I’ll stop,”
“Ask her,” I spat.
I opened the bottle of water and swallowed the pill right there in front of him.
*I’ll rather overdose on pills than let you touch me ever again,”
Turning briskly on
feet, I walked away, not looking back at him not even when I heard a menacing growl and a loud crash.
