Chapter 8 CHAPTER 8: Angel\'s hell

AFTER seeing how Maricar being too sweet to my boyfriend, the pain started to swallow my heart. I felt like a sharp dagger started to kill me. I am just here standing and watching them while they were in front of his house.

“Why did you invite her?” Vincent asked Maricar pointing at me.

I just put my stares down. I can’t look at the two who are like a lovey-dovey bird. The jealousy I am feeling right now is tearing me into pieces.

“Why not? She’s my new driver. She’s qualified to be my driver.” Maricar even gazes at me with an awful look.

I walk towards and trying to get in Vincent’s side, ignoring what Maricar is trying to say.

“But…”

I stop Vincent from complaining. “No worries, Vincent. I actually volunteer to send her here.”

“Oh, I remember you put something at the trunk. What is it?” Maricar ask me. I didn’t know she notices that I put the food, me and Mrs. Claudia prepared for Vincent.

“Y-Yeah. This is for—.” I just nailed on where I stand when Maricar grab the paper bag in my hand.

“Vincent, I know you didn’t eat yet. Come. Angela and I prepared something for you.”

I know Vincent knew the food came from me but he didn’t even throw a gaze towards where I stand. Then Maricar walks passing the aisle going to the kitchen holding Vincent’s arm.

I silently cried. I felt my feet started to get numb that I can’t move anymore. I can even hear them laughing. Maybe I am torturing myself now because I went in and watching them giving sweet scenes and it hurts me a lot. I wanted to vanish just like thin air but I can’t do anything.

I started to move my feet. 

No. I need to fight for my right. Vincent is still mine unless he told me he doesn’t love me anymore. I will try my best back in my arms again.

I even pulled the chair, sitting on Vincen't side. “Did you like it, Vincent?”

He even did not give me a look.

I pulled some tissue and started to wipe some sauce in the corner of his lips.

I felt Vincent’s hand snaking into my arm. “Stop it. Stop it, will you?”

“I-I just trying to erase the sauce from your mouth,” I exclaimed, trying my best not to choke.

Maricar forces a stand, almost throwing the chair behind her. “You know what, you are not helping. Do you think, Vincent is still going back to you?”

Instead of listening to Maricar and facing her, I face Vincent. “I am fine like this, Vincent. As long as I can see you and I can touch you.”

Vincent gives me a dismayed look. “You are terrible.” He stood up. “I understand that you are way kind, considerate, compassionate, and a caring woman. But it’s not what I only need from you, Angela. You need to understand that I have some urges. I even need to release my sperm and Maricar is the one who stays with me.”

“I am begging you, Vincent. I will do everything. I will do whatever you want just don’t let me out in your life...” I am almost begging on my knees.

Maricar walks towards me, pushing me on my chest. “Are you that stupid, Angela? Can’t you see that he doesn’t like you? He can’t even stare at you twice. And I believe, he made a mistake of having you as his girlfriend.”

I ignored her. I am still concentrating with Vincent, looking straight at his eyes. “I did everything for you, Vincent. Please don’t do this to me.”

Vincent walks towards, Maricar moves aside. His hand went both on my arms. “Just accept that Maricar is my new girlfriend now. Please, don’t mention what you did to me. Don’t count. Because I might forget that we became lovers.”

I cried, tears fell rapidly. “Come on, Vincent. I will do everything just to get back to you. If you wanted me to change, I will.”

His mouth went to my ears. “Then do it. I bet you can’t change the way you are, Angela.” He pulled himself. “I understand you love me. But you can’t even provide what I need if you truly love me. So, please... If you feel unsure if you even had a second thought about it. Then forget it. It only means that you didn’t trust me at all enough that you can’t even give yourself. You always become busy with your family, house and your life. You even forget that I exist.”

I wanted to stop my tears. But it can’t. Why I felt he is trying to say the opposite. He’s the one who became busy not me. I always provide him everything I had, except my purity.

“I will do as you say, Vincent. I will do everything to get you back and keep you. You are mine and I am only yours, no matter what.”

“Get lost, b*tch!”

I turned around and pretend I didn’t hear any of what Vincent said. I even pretend that Maricar isn’t there. Or worst, pretending that I am in Maricar’s feet.

UPON reaching the house, I was about to go to my room when Auntie Amanda blocks my way.

“Where have you been? Do you know that Mrs. Claudia packed her things?” Auntie Amanda started to raise her voice while she’s just asking me.

“Yes. I did.”

“Then you didn’t even tell me?”

I put my head down. “I’m sorry.”

"It seems there's only one way to solve the problem." She put on an evil smile, "You, be the maid for us, or I will kick you out of this house."
