Chapter 16
Jaxon
“I’m pregnant.”
Before the information could process through my head there was a pregnant silence between us. I knew that Angela has always been different but I never thought of marrying her and starting a family, not that it’s something I wouldn’t consider but the thought just never crossed my mind.
I was contented with just having Angela in my arms. Now knowing that she’s pregnant with my baby I wasn’t scared nor was I ecstatic, I was worried. I have many enemies and just the thought of them hurting Angela let alone our baby sends a whole new rage into my system.
Unconsciously, I slowly pulled Angela into an embrace. Wrapping my arms tightly around her as if my arms could protect her from any harm. She noticed how tensed my body was and instantly wrapped her arms around my torso making me melt to her touch. I wanted to grab Angela and bring her far away from everyone but then I knew that I couldn’t because of her friends here.
“You don’t need to tell me if you’re happy or sad about this. It’s pretty shocking news to me too. I just want to know if you’ll stay by my side or not?” she asked. How could she think such a thought?
I pulled away just enough to stare into her lovely eyes. “Pregnant or not I’ll always stay by your side no matter what. You’re not getting rid of me that easily.” As I threw in a smirk. A beautiful smile made its way onto her face making her face beam with happiness.
“I’m happy.” she whispered I barely caught it but I did. It made warmth spread through my body, and only Angela could make me feel this way. My hands trailed down her body to rest upon her abdomen. We created something together and that made me proud. Then his face burned into my mind and I was filled with rage like never before.
Angela is now my family and I wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt her ever. I didn’t notice that I was trembling with anger that Angela pulled back with a concerned look “Are you alright, Jaxon?” she asked. I leaned forward to press a kiss to her head and promised her “I’ll always protect you… But first I have to eliminate the threat.”
I turned around to leave but Angela quickly grabbed onto my wrist. “Jaxon, you don’t have to do this.” Her voice was filled with worry and hope. I don’t want her to worry every day for the rest of her life. I pulled her once again into an embrace and assured her “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’m just going to have a few words with him.”
“Yeah, but you always communicate with your fists.” She mumbled. I chuckled as I held her tightly. Oh, she knew me well.
I pulled away and cupped her face to bring her plumped lips against mine in a tender kiss. “I will always protect you no matter what. If I have to kill someone for you then I would in a heartbeat. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you.” I told her.
“Just be careful.” she told me as she looked down at the ground. I put my fingers under her chin to make her look at me. “Stay here and lock the door. I will come back for you, I promise.” I told her. She looked at me so innocently as she nodded. I didn’t want to leave her ever but I also don’t want her to be anywhere near him again.
I looked over at the club where I used to hang out but nobody was there. I then started making my way towards the bar where Ciel and Zen hung out. When I stormed inside the bar all eyes were on me, even Ciel, Zen, and his attention as well. All of them started glaring at me while others cowered in fear.
“What are you doing here?” Ciel growled as he stepped forward. I looked at Ciel with a non-threatening look and said “I’m not here for you. You have my word that we’ll have a rematch but not now.” As my eyes dangerously made its way to him, Brian.
“So have you reconsider yet?” Brian asked with a smug look on his face, he must think that he won. My fury expression didn’t falter as I stormed up to him with my deadliest look and grabbed him by the shirt. Every one of his men started pulling out a weapon or about to back him up but my glare went to every single one of them as I growled menacingly “If you interfere then I won’t hesitate to kill you.” All of them stopped in their tracks.
There’s a saying ‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’ men also have a saying but it’s quite different and I definitely think it matches this situation. ‘Hell hath no fury like a man whose family has been threatened’.
“I will only say this once,” I hissed at Brian as I’m inches away from his face. My glare still painted upon my face as his was filled with fear and shock. He thought I never had the guts to do something like this to him but I didn’t have a reason before, now I do. And that reason means everything to me.
“I told you sister, Irina that she was nothing more than a fling. She even told me that she understood. Don’t blame me for you sister’s heartbreak, that’s all on her. I have a family now,” Once I said those words I can see the shock looks on Ciel and Zen. “If you dare threaten them then I’ll make sure your life will be a living hell. Not only you but Irina as well. I will break your mind and soul and show you what a real devil looks like.” I hissed.
Brian has always been the one spouting threats at me thinking that he has always had the upper hand. Now he’s crossed the line and he has awoken the demon deep from within me. “Am I understood?” I growled as I stared deep into his disgusting eyes. He looked around as if he was seeking for help but no help was offered. He then looked back at me defeated and nodded.
I slammed his head on the table and yelled “Say it!” he was dazed for a while but he managed to say “I understand… But my sister doesn’t.” I then looked at him in confusion. “What do you mean?” I asked.
“My sister knows where you live. She might be waiting for you at your apartment.” he said not knowing that Angela was there. My eyes widened as I literally shove Brian away and started running back home.
I have to protect Angela no matter what.
