1.9. Useless threat

I woke up to the sight of gorgeous enamoured sapphire eyes. For the first time in my long life, I didn't have any nightmares and was feeling lighthearted. I guess I made a good decision, for once. At first I couldn't help but doubt him and thought that if I accepted him it would hurt me and hinder my mission but at that moment I only felt right.

Now that I think about it… I gave in so easily. Damn it, now I'm starting to feel angry at myself.

Seeing my sudden mood swing, Amory brushed my cheeks with worries.

"Do you regret it?"

I avoided his gaze. I don't regret it at all, I'm just mad at my own weakness when it comes to him. But how do I say that to him without feeling embarrassed?

"No."

He grabbed my chin so I would look at him.

"Then, why are you in a bad mood so suddenly?"

I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Not saying."

He chuckled and hugged me by the waist. That's when I realised that we were both still naked. I felt my face heat up and hurriedly averted my eyes in a useless attempt to hide.

"You're cute when you're pouting."

"I'm not- !"

Before I could retort, he gave me a peck on the lips, then on the jaw, then on the neck and shoulder. I felt the blood rushing to my male attribute.

"Hey-"

The sound of my ringing phone interrupted us. I groaned and sat up, picking up the call. Amory hugged me from behind and trailed kisses on my neck.

"Hello?"

"Angel, it's uncle. Could we talk? I know I made a mistake and you might hate me but I wanted you to know I'm sorry and-"

"Sure, what about in two days? I'm a bit… busy… right now."

"Of course, see y-"

Tuut… tuut…

The call stopped when Amory snatched my phone away and threw it on the other side of the room.

"My cellphone!"

"It's fine. I'll buy you a new one."

I turned around with a glare and squeezed his face with one hand.

"Do you think I don't have enough money to buy it myself, huh?"

He laughed and kissed me deeply. He retreated with a wide grin.

"I just wanted to give you a gift, though."

Richard looked at his phone flabbergasted. How dare he hung up on my face? But his anger soon faded as his eyes landed on the screen of his computer where a video of Kevin and Angel making out was being played.

A perverted smile appeared on his face.

It didn't matter that Angel was his nephew, this video was still turning him on. That's fine, he'll just enjoy it until Angel dies and he'll have to erase it.

No one will ever know, anyway.

I knocked at Richard's office's door and entered without waiting for an answer. He was sitting behind his desk, putting away a few documents. I sat in front of him.

"You wanted to see me, uncle?"

He looked up at me and smiled. He opened his laptop and turned it towards me while pressing the play button.

Oh, so he's not even going to beat around the bush. Well, at least the torture of seeing his ugly face will go faster for me.

I looked at the screen with an innocent curiosity.

"What is it?"

He laughed ruthlessly.

"Can't you see it?"

My lips started to tremble and I teared up. I think my acting was enough since his laugh became louder.

"Why…?"

"I think you know why. Tell me where's your precious notebook and I'll delete that video."

More tears fell down my face and I sobbed loudly. He was leaning on his chair, his arms crossed with a satisfied smirk painted on his lips.

"Why…"

"I already told yo-"

"Why are you showing me Kevin and Charlie's sex tape? My heart was already broken enough and now that… Is it funny to hurt me like that?"

Richard's face blanched. Charlie's hair is blond too and with the bad quality of the video, it was easy to mistaken. Richard thought it was me so he didn't feel any guilt but now, how was it to jerk of on your own son's sex tape? Mmh? Tell me all about it uncle.

I snickered inwardly.

He grabbed the computer quickly and watched the screen closer. He started to tremble and cold sweat rolled down his forehead. He covered his mouth with his hand in shock.

I got up and walked to the door. I opened it but turned around one last time before leaving.

"If you still want my notebook go ask Kevin. I gave it to him after the wedding."

I slammed the door behind me, leaving a frozen Richard.
