Side Story: Angelina and Stephen

Stephen had managed all sorts of celebrity scandals and fought with paparazzi and reporters to get his agenda to the crowd. He had even jumped off buildings and planes in his quest to find the greatest rush on the planet. But right at that time, he was scared out of his mind. 

He had no choice, though. He had put off the plan for as long as it was humanly possible. If he didn't do it this weekend, he would bang his head against a rock until he had brain damage. Thank God Cage had lied through his teeth to convince Angelina to go with Stephen. The help was all he needed to shake from head to toe in fright. 

After all the years of service, he had provided Cage, that was the least he could do. 

Angelina's parents weren't interested in her life particularly, so he didn't need to take their permission to marry their daughter. He had considered doing it, but Angelina would be pissed. She would also face trouble from her parents, so Stephen chucked that idea out.
