Richard reflected on himself and decided he would never let this happen again. “I’ll cut off all your contact with the outside world from this minute on. I’ll get my men to protect your parents. You’re going to stay here.” He was going to leave again.
Angela stared at him. She decided to stop pulling any tricks and pleaded, “I know you want me safe, Richard. Thank you, really, but I can’t lose my boyfriend. Please, let me call him. I promise it won’t take long.”
Richard stopped in his tracks. He took a deep breath, and he turned around slowly, as if he had made a decision. He took his phone out and handed it to her.
Delighted, Angela went and took it from him. “Thank you.” She quickly called her boyfriend, waiting for him to pick up. Unbeknownst to her, Richard was staring at her, wondering if the decision he made was correct.
“Yes?” The call went through, and Dexter picked it up.
Angela heaved a sigh of relief. “Dexter? It’s me.”
“Angela? Where are you? I couldn’t get through to you.” Dexter sounded really worried.
“Don’t worry, I’m alright. I ran into some trouble, but I’ll see you again soon.”
“I’m sorry, Angela. I didn’t want to hurt you. I know you’re out of my league, so I pretended to date another girl so you’d leave me and find someone better, but I realized I still love you the most.”
She sat back down on the sofa and answered sweetly, “It’s alright. I understand. I don’t mind.”
Richard could see that Dexter was trying to sweet talk her even without hearing the conversation. And this dumb woman still believes him. She doesn’t know his true colors.
“I love you, Angela,” Dexter confessed lovingly.
“Okay, okay. I know. I love you too.” She smiled shyly, but then someone took the phone away.
She quickly turned around to face Richard. “Hey-”
Richard clicked into the video his team member sent him, and he tossed the phone to the sofa. He said, “Your boyfriend is a f*ckboy. He hooked up with a woman he just met right after he landed. He dates you for you. Wake the f*ck up.” your money, not
Angela’s eyes widened, then she heard the conversation coming from her phone. It was Dexter’s voice. “You’re the prettiest lady I’ve ever seen. Ever since I saw you back on the plane, I knew I’d be the happiest man on earth if I could have you.”
“Is that so? Well, I’ll be your date for the next few days then, but I need a place to stay.”
“Oh, I can do that. I can do anything you want.” Angela heard the sound of smooching.
“Oh, we can’t do this here! Let’s get a room.”
Angela froze. She picked up the phone with trembling hands, and she stared at the screen. Dexter walked into the elevator with a woman in his arms, and they started making out even before they got into the room.
Angie shivered at the sight of that. She wanted to cry and scream, but she couldn’t. All she felt was fury in her heart. Her eyes were filled with tears of rage, and she bit her lip hard. She stared at the screen, but what she saw tortured her soul.
Richard looked at her calmly. I hope she’ll snap out of it after she sees what happens next. Don’t fall for him. He doesn’t deserve her.
Angela then saw Dexter take the woman into a room, while he went outside to take a call.
The room was quiet, and the volume was at maximum. Angela could hear everything Dexter was saying. “How many times do I have to tell you, Mom? Look at the big picture. I want everything. I’ll give Angela’s mother the money back.”
