YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL ANGELINA

“Hey Ethan, look at her over there”, Reel tapped his hands as he pointed at Angelina, who was ascending down from the stairs. “Go for it man”, He urged, pushing him out from his chair by kicking his legs.

“Stop it”, Ethan groan in pain and stood up from the chair.

“I will play the romantic music”, Reel said, winking at him.

“Urgh…”, Ethan said, glaring at him.

He scurried towards her but stroll when he approached her.

“Hey”, Ethan said, waving his hands towards her direction, trying to get her attention.

Angelina paused and gape at him blandly for a moment before she respond, ”Hi”.

“What…what…what…are you doing here?”, She stuttered, staring at him surprisingly.

“Nothing, really”. Ethan respond, ruffing his hair.

He placed his hand on the stair handle and stare at her while standing in front of her, blocking her exit.

“You look beautiful Angelina”, He said, staring at her passionately.

Angelina cheek redden to his compliment that she couldn’t look at him in the eyes so he wouldn’t notice.

He noticed the sheepish look on her face and chuckled.

“Can I ask for your hands for this dance?”

He asked, as he heard the soft music played maliciously to his ear.

“I can’t…”, Angelina said as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “Conner…”

“Fuck Conner”, Ethan interrupted.

He grabbed her by the hand and pulled her, making her land on him while his hand slid behind her back.

Her two hands were on his shoulder while she stare at him, her body went numb as she could his warm breath against her face. She couldn’t utter a word as their eye's locked, and she became stray.

It was as if the whole place suddenly went quiet and they were the only one in the hall, starting eyes to eyes at each other, silently.

She could feel her cheek warm, beaming a smile and she knew by now her face would be redden.

Ethan lifted her up, turning her around before placing her down from the stairs.

He wrapped his hands round her waist and began dancing with her around the hall.

He didn’t took his eyes off her as he saunter around the place while dancing with her.

The spotlight was pointed at them, following every step of them not wanting to miss them while they dance.

The guest hovered around them in a huge circle, while watching them dance.

They were amazed and thought they were couples dancing on the stage, careless of if anyone was watching.

They began clapping hands and muttering a “aww” sound as they dance together.


At the room,

Conner relaxed on the chair, dropping his two legs on the table, waiting patiently for Williams to speak up.

“Seems your father has suddenly went dumb, Davina”

He said, breaking the tension in-between them.

Davina didn’t even care about her father silence but the fact that Conner is already married. It hurt her so badly that she felt like crying.

Could she ever accept that?
Never!

She bite herself, clenching her fist tightly so she won’t unleashed her anger and show how pathetic she feel after hearing all this.

Williams cleared his throat, glancing at his daughter then back to Conner as he approached him.

“You can’t do this Conner”

He said calmly and Conner smirked.

“You must marry Davina”

He declared and Conner chuckled in respond.

He stood up, leaving one hand in his pocket and removing the other.

Using his fingers, he ran his hand through his hair as he stroll forward, walking pass Williams.

He bite his lips softly, before turning to look at Williams.

“I am afraid Williams, I won’t “, He declined.

“What if I offer you ninety nice percent of the company shares?”, William asked, hoping he would accept his offer.

“You can’t blackmail me anymore Williams, the company shares, percentage, property, you can name it”, He said. “Is already in my hands”, Conner added.

Davina eyes lit up in shock while Williams eyes widened in disbelief.

“That’s impossible!”, William protest.

“Believe it or not”, He said strolling towards him, till they were inche apart. “Believe it or not, your property, my father's company and all you have gain, all your gains”, He mentioned. “Will be mine soon”, He said, giving him a daring look. “I might even take this mansion, because I want to see you suffer while you watch me succeed”, Conner said, glancing the walls as he turned around before looking at Williams.

“That’s impossible, how did you get the signatures?”, Williams asked in bewilderment.

Conner scoffed, ”I get what I want, when I want it Williams, so shut up your flirty mouth”

“How dare you disrespect my father!”, Davina yelled.

“Dirty slut, why don’t you ask men to respect your body before speaking up for your father”, He retort and she didn’t utter a word.

He chuckled and shook his head as he began strolling towards her.

He stood beside her and whisper into her ear.

“If you have ever dream of us getting married, forget about it because I can never marry a woman like you who submit her body easily to lustful men”.

He said coldly and departed.

“Davina…”

“It's all your fault, Father!!!”, Davina said, sobbing as she rushed out of the room.

Conner paused, as he spotted Ethan and Angelina dancing in the middle of the crowd.

He dropped his hand and gaze at them down from the stairs.

He watched the crowd hailing and clapping hands for them.

He became furious and began burning in anger.

He clenched his fist on the handle, making his vein pop out.

“Lina!!!”, He yelled angrily and it echoed all over the place.

The music stopped.

Everyone gasped, fixing their gaze at up at Conner while Angelina pushed Ethan away from her, pretending like nothing happened.

Conner descended downstairs, as the crowd step aside, making a hallway for him to reach her.

He stormed towards her and grabbed her arm, glaring at her dangerously while piercing his finger dip into her skin.

“Ouch Conner, it’s hurt, please let me go”, Angelina pleaded, gazing into his red eyes that showed no emotions.

“You heard her right Conner, let her go!”, Ethan demanded, glaring into his eyes in a challenging way.

“Stay out of this”, Conner pointed at him, while his other hand was still gripping her arm.

“Ain't you ashamed of yourself?, treating a woman like an animal, humiliating her in a public place”, He inquired. “You may be my brother but you are an animal”, Ethan spat, making Conner grip her arm more harder.

Tears started accumulating in her eyes as she struggled to pull out from his grip.

“I am warning you Ethan”, Conner said in a threatening tone.

“I won’t back off until you let her go”, Ethan said, approaching towards Conner boldly.

“Ethan please just go”, She pleaded as she sob. “Conner please let’s just leave here, please don’t mind him, he is crazy, please Conner”, Angelina pleaded, her body was trembling in fear.

“Fine”, Conner said and pushed her, making her crash on the ground.

Angelina placed her hands on the ground, so she wouldn’t end up hitting her head.

Conner departed.

The crowd began murmuring and evacuated their different ways.

“Conner”, Angelina called while standing up and running after him.

“Angel…”, Ethan called, but she didn’t respond.

He stood back and watch her leave.

“Conner”, Angelina called, she tried to reach him but he entered the car and it zoomed off immediately.

“No, no, no, no, no”, She emphasize while flipping her hair back.

She rushed towards the lane and halted a taxis.

She opened the door and entered the taxis immediately it cease.

“Madam, where are you going?”, The cabman asked.

“Just follow that car please, fast, I’m in a hurry”, Angelina blurted out, pointing finger's at the black car, few miles from them.

“Okay ma’am”, The cabman turn on the engine and zoomed off.

Angelina heart beat rapidly in fear, she knew she’s in trouble, all because of Ethan.

Her hands were trembling and cold, she couldn’t help but muttered few prayers under her breath.
