Sassy Angel’s Secret Sin

Chapter 9 – Not Compatible (Anj‘s POV) 

I stayed in my position, crawling slowly under the bed of the stranger I slept with, but as I lifted one arm to move forward, my heart stopped beating when I saw a shining gold wedding band on my finger, 

My eyes blinked many times, racking my brain of what exactly happened last night, but the little workers seemed not done fixing my head as it ached so much I wanted to curl back in bed. This feeling was worse than a migraine, although I have not experienced it in my entire life. 

“Daddy!” she screamed again, making me cringe as her sweet voice was causing my head to crack 

I kept my eyes closed, only listening to the sound of the door opening, footsteps, and Sky cursing under his breath. 

“Sky Mars!” A yell roared like thunder inside his bedroom. “In the study room. Now!” An angry voice said. 

I felt the quilt thrown at me, but I did not dare look up to see who did it. “And you, young lady, you‘re not going anywhere!” The older man‘s voice shouted. I took a deep breath, wanting to ask him how I could go out without any clothes, but I decided to keep my mouth shut. 

It took a while before the room went quiet, and I wondered whether his bedroom had a door. Everyone in their house seemed to have the freedom to enter his bedroom. In tears, I raised my head, and my body jolted, surprised to see a cute little girl squatting in front of me, blinking her eyes as her mouth in 0, looking awed at me. “Woah! You are so beautiful. Are you an angel?” she asked innocently, taking something from my hair. Her eyes almost crossed as she studied the soft white feather she got from my head “Huh?” Immediately, I got up, not minding if I was naked before her. My heart hammered, realizing I could easily be recognized without the red spots on my face. “Bathroom?” I asked, and she raised her index finger, pointing in the direction of the room. I ran to his overly large bathroom, almost half the size of our home. 

Sweat beaded on my forehead as I saw myself in the full–length mirror of his closet room. Reflecting in the mirror is my spotless face, the usual look I have in the early morning except for today, there is horror in my eyes, and there is proof that something happened between Sky and me last night.
