SURRENDERING TO MY SUGAR DADDY

CHAPTER 10

EDWARD’S POV

I was huffing and puffing in anger after I hang up Antonio’s call. There was a surge of anger in my system and I was literally breathing fire. I was going to kill Molly myself. I will strangle her to death for making me this tense.

 How dare she bring me all this distress? First, she doesn’t want to surrender her inheritance. Second, she wants to go after us and expose me. I have built my name and reputation for so long and therefore I was not going to go down without a fight. Molly has done a mistake that will cost her, her life. Does she really know the people she is messing with? I am going to teach her a very hard lesson. By the time I am done with her…

Talking of that stupid b***h, I will go find her right now. I should leave this place immediately. I have no business around here. However, as I was walking to my car, I recalled of Angel and how she told me to meet her at the after party of the wedding renewal ceremony and this automatically changed my plans. f**k, how could I forget that yet it is so important to me? Stupid Molly! She almost made me forget this one chance I have to be with the most beautiful girl in the entire planet. What if I lose Angel? I can’t afford losing her. I must win her tonight.

Instead of going to my car, I made a U-turn back to the reception area. Even if I didn’t want to, I had to go and listen to the boring speeches of the wedding renewal. If this is what I have to go through so as to have angel in my life then I am more than willing to do it. After this I will meet with my sweet Angel and later on I will deal with Molly Summers.

Wow, I couldn’t believe that they are already done with the wedding bullshit. When I went back to the reception area, everyone had left except the groom, who was my brother and he was talking to one of our aunties.

Oh no, I could barely see Angel. Wait, has she left already? Did she leave when she found out that I did not fulfil my part of our agreement? Did she think that I stood her up? All this thoughts made my stomach feel like a pit of nerves as my heartbeat doubled. What if I lost her for good? If this happens, then I am never ever going to forgive myself and of course Molly will pay for this.

“What are you still doing here?” My brother come to where I was seated and asked me.

“Leave me alone, okay? I am not in the mood to argue with you,” I made it crystal clear.

“You are not welcomed here! Leave or I will call the guards to kick you out!” He threatened me.

“20 years in marriage, huh?” I laughed sarcastically.

“What does that mean?” He looked around hoping that no one is listening to our conversation.

“If you kick me out, I am going to tell your wife about the affair that you had a few months ago. So, don’t push me,” I threatened him back and won. He left hurriedly hissing a curse word under his breath.

As if I cared. Anyway, he was not going to kill my vibe. I am here to wait for my angel and I was not going to leave until we have a word.

MOLLY’S POV

Once we were at the house, Lenny introduced me to her parents after we sat around the round table to have a meal. She said that I was her best friend and her parents were more than pleased to meet me. They wanted to ask more about my family but I couldn’t answer them, Instead, I had to fake going to the washroom. I really don’t know why everyone is obsessed in knowing where I come from and who my parents are. Does it help in any way?

I have a rough past and they should just do me a favor and stop asking me about my past.

Lenny followed me apologizing on behalf of her parents but I told her that I needed some time to be alone. I was glad when she left because for the first time ever since we become friends, she did not insist in following me. This worked on my favor for it gave me the perfect time to go and look for the man of the day, Edward Parker.

To be honest, I never chase men. Now that I am chasing after him then it means that he is special to me.

I looked for him around the house but I couldn’t find him. I went outside and looked further among the groups of people but he was nowhere to be found. This left me panicking. What if he is not interested in me as I thought? What if he left? I only had one place left to look for him and if I fail to find him there then it will be crystal clear that I don’t mean anything to him for he left despite me telling him to stay.

I felt a happy adrenaline rush when I saw him seated at the far end of the reception area. He was all alone. He was indeed waiting for me as we had planned and this made me feel so special and powerful. I couldn’t help but giggle as I went to meet him. It turns out that he is into me. Why else would he be here if he didn’t give a damn about me?

As I drew nearer to him, I started feeling my heart racing and goosebumps forming on my skin. Suddenly, a strong urge for things to be perfect around him overwhelmed me and I couldn’t control myself anymore. All the confidence I had in me vanished and I lost my words. I cursed as my legs become suddenly have for me to keep on walking. Therefore I stood still wondering whether I should turn and take my leave or I should join him for us to have a conversation.

EDWARD’S POV

I anxiously checked my Rolex wrist watch each passing minute as I tapped my finger impatiently. I had waited for Angel for around twenty minutes and as minutes went by, it dawned to me that she was not coming. Who knows what’s up? Anyway, I don’t want to believe that she didn’t have an interest in me because she is the one who initiated our meeting.

What might have happened is that she come earlier when I was not around. All this is all thanks to Molly Summers. The girl who is continuously ruining my life. I have lost Angel because of her. She is definitely going to pay for this with her life. I am not going to reconsider this decision.

I had to swallow the bitter lump at the back of my throat and leave even if my heart felt so heavy. It was not my wish to leave but at this point, I figured that there was nothing I can do about this. I hardly lose but this one time, I have lost her for good. I know for sure that I will never find her ever again. The world does not bless you with a good woman twice.

As I was leaving, I heard her golden voice which changed the mood I was in completely. I was able to smile again as I turned to face her.

“Wait,” She said before coming to seat next to me.

The moment she sat next to me, I could feel a gush of blood flowing through my system. Heat seeped through my skin as if I was just made of paper. At this point in time, nothing else mattered except her.

“I am sorry for coming late,” She apologized and I didn’t know the exact thing to tell her. Should I tell her that she has invaded all of my senses with her beauty or should I pretend that everything is okay? I have always calculated all of my steps and moves but at this point, I was clueless about everything.

“It is fine,” My voice was literally shaking as I spoke to her. Something like this had never happened before. Who am I? Where is the strong and heartless Edward Parker?

“Are you okay?” She asked after I spoke.

“Yes, I am fine. It is just that I thought that you were going to stand me up. You have no idea of how much your presence brings me joy and happiness,” I was so honest with her.

“Really?” She implored.

“Yes.”

“I am flattered,” She whimpered.

“Listen Angel. I don’t know why I am feeling all this emotions when I am around you. I feel happy that you are here. At the same time though I feel sad that you are going to leave me later in the night. My sweet angel, you arouse different feelings in me. Feelings that I have never felt before in my life. My dear, I am really begging you. Can I get to know you better?” I found myself begging for her.
