Chapter 55

Angela’s POV

All I could think of were Darius’s words for the next few hours. His words affected me but I chose not to believe him. It has never always been me. He chose a different woman every time our paths crossed.

I had to force myself to sleep and soon enough, I regretted I did. Although it took me a few hours to finally sleep, my nightmares woke me up several times. I could feel hands on my face, suffocating me. I couldn’t breathe. At some point, I saw myself being pushed down a cliff. I wanted to scream but I couldn’t.

By the time I woke up from a frightening nightmare the fifth time, I gave up on sleeping. I knew the reason why I was having those nightmares and I knew they got worse because someone wouldn’t mind his business and not make me a stupid artist workshop.

I didn’t need one. I would never need one. I reached for my pill bottle and groaned when I realized I didn’t have a bottle of water in the room.

Sleep–deprived and reluctant, I dragged my feet to the kitchen to get some water. I was wearing a round–neck shirt I picked up. randomly from my luggage. It barely managed to cover my buttcheeks.

“Can’t sleep?” Darius’s voice suddenly echoed, scaring me. I jumped in fear before I could figure out it was him. I sucked in a deep breath as I glared at him.

He was sitting in darkness at first but after he spoke, he switched on the lamp with him. He was in the dining area holding a pen and a file.

“What are you doing?”

He raised the file. “Working!”

“What are you doing here? What happened to the Alpha’s mansion?

“I hate it there. I prefer it here,” I raised an eyebrow. It was getting difficult trying to understand Darius.

“Yeah! It’s your house. Do whatever you want,

“Can’t sleep?” He asked again. I hid the drug in the middle of my palm.

“I sleep soundly. I just want a bottle of water. I was thirsty,”

“What’s in your hand?” He asked. This time, he was on his feet.

I had to act smarter than him. I walked closer to the dining table and touched the file with a fake smile on my face.
