Anger!

Ethan stroll into the sitting room, he had overhead her voice, so he had traced her here.

He paused, watching her from behind as she clean her face and sniff in before turning to look at him.

The sight of her wearing Conner's shirt made him angry but he ignored it.

Angelina heaved a sigh of relief when she saw it was Ethan who has came in.

Ethan stood few meters away from her as he observed her barely covered shoulder.

The baggy shirt she wore were resting half way, crossed on her shoulder, revealing her arm.

She noticed the way he was gawking at her and quickly pull up the shirt up to her shoulder, to cover her arm.

He glance at her face, her eyes were bloodshot and it looks like she has been crying for long.

He wasn’t putting on a smile on his face, seeing her in a total mess.

His face flashed into a cold one as he began wondering what happened to her, “why is she crying?”

Where the question that came into his head.

“What are you doing here?”

Angelina asked, breaking the awkward tension between them.

Ethan began strolling towards her as he respond,” I came…”

“Look, I really think you should leave”

Angelina said and turned as her back were now facing him.

“Who did this to you?”

Ethan asked as he spotted a red finger print on her neck.

Angelina turned to face him, ”Please leave Ethan, I don’t want to see you anywhere around me because all you cause is trouble, please leave!!!”. She rant out angrily.


Ethan took one step back away from her, he felt his heart arch, hearing her yell at him.


He forced himself not to lay curses by grinding his teeth in a way she wouldn’t notice.

“Angelina…” He tried.

“Ethan leave please”

Angelina pleaded, trying to maintain her bold tone but her voice failed her.

“I am leaving to Mexico Angelina”

Ethan said, his voice sounded deep and calm that it made her paused.

Angelina kept quiet, she opened her mouth but words couldn’t come out of it.

Her eyes darted over his face, searching for a smirk or grin to show that his kidding but his face looks serious.

“I'm not kidding Angelina”. Ethan said, noticing the look on her face. He began approaching her slowly as he speak, “Look Angelina, you can come along with me if you want to escape from Conner”, He said. “I can…”

“Ethan leave!!!”, Angelina yelled at him with her eyes tightly closed.

She was crying deep inside and didn’t want tears to spilt out of her eyes.

It hurt her deeply, hearing him say his leaving.

“Angelina, I can…”

Ethan tried to speak, with concerned filled in his voice but she lifted her hands up at him signaling him to stop.

“Do you think I am weak?!”, Angelina asked, glaring at him with her eyes flaming in anger. “I am not a weak woman okay, I can fight for myself and I don’t need your help because I am not running away from my own problems, I am here to fix it”, She said angrily, pointing her fingers at him. “Now leave!”, She ordered.

Ethan glanced at her, he knew she’s a stubborn woman and wouldn’t care to listen to him so he dismissed, with heart filled with passionate anger.

Angelina fell down on her knees and sat on the ground as she broke down in tears.

She covered her mouth, using her palm so her voice would sound out while she cry.


*******************

Conner was sitting on the mesh chair, his legs were on the table while he relax his back on the chair.

He couldn’t stop thinking about Lina and how he made her feel and everything.

He has always wanted to make her suffer for the rest of her life but now his feeling bad for what his doing to her and wants to change his aggressive act towards her.

“That’s impossible, she deserves to suffer more”.

Conner sat up on the chair, slamming his hands on the table.

He dropped his elbow on the table, and his chin on he’s hand.

“Haven't you suffer her enough, don’t you love her?”

Those questions kept on breathing in his head, making him more angry.

He hates when those questions about love comes into his head, it reminds him of he’s mother and how she cheated on his father.

Twenty-five years ago, he have watched his own mother fuck his teacher in front of him and he couldn’t do anything about it.

He couldn’t tell his father because he was naïve and even when he got the chance to speak, his father was killed right in that point by he’s own brother.

He bite his lower lips roughly as he tried to control the anger building inside of him.

“Women deserves to suffer, I don’t care if I feel anything for her”

He said and he found himself arguing with his thoughts.

He hate the fact that he has started having feelings for her and regretting the pains he has inflict on Angelina.

At that moment, Simon came into his office, unknowingly to him.

“Sir…”

He called and Conner snapped out of his thought immediately.

“What is it and who gave you permission to batch in just like that!”

Conner yelled at him.

Simon gaze down at the table, he couldn’t dare glance at his boss disgruntled face.

“Sir I rang the door bell, but got no respond and since it was urgent I decided to come in”

Simon respond calmly.

Conner glared at him and wish he could just die at this spot for distracting him.

“And what is that?”

He asked and his voice sounded furious.

“Sir, I have submitted the documents to the lawyer, he said he will review the signature and return it in one month time”

Simon said, with his head bow down as he gaze at the table in between him and Conner.

“Why months, can’t he review it now!!!”, Conner yelled, grinding his teeth but calm down seeing no point in yelling at Simon. “Just get out of here”, He ordered, relaxing his back on the chair, with one of his elbow resting on the handle.

“Okay sir”, Simon said, turning his back to dismiss.

“Simon”, Conner called and Simon turned.

“Sir?”, Simon respond, more like questioning him.

Conner sat up on the chair and gaze at Simon in the eyes, ”Do you know how to make a woman fall in love?”, He asked and Simon chuckled unexpectedly.

“Sir, you are every woman’s dream, you don’t need a tip to get a woman’s heart”, Simon teased and paused when he saw the cold expression on his face that explains that he’s serious. “Uhmm…well…well…sir women love men who treat them gentle and…”, He stuttered as he couldn’t find the right explanation to give to him.

“Is okay, you can leave”, Conner said, feeling stupid for asking him that. “What was I thinking…”, He asked himself as Simon dismissed.

Immediately he began parking up his things into he’s brief case before he stood up.

He grabbed it and stormed out of the office into the elevator.

He got to the last floor and the elevator beeped opened before he stroll out.

“Sir are you leaving”

The lady, sitting on the receptionist table, stood and readjust her shirt as it reveal her cleavage.

“Not today Mena, but see me in my office first thing tomorrow morning”

Conner said and departed.
