Angel's POV:
Five Weeks Later*
I looked over at Caleb as he picked up guns and knives and put them on and around his belt. I pouted in the corner of the room. Today was a big day for them. Apparently Peter got even more beautiful intel on the Russian Mafia and Calvin was so excited that he and all the guards were gonna take down the Russian Mafia. I didn't nag Caleb to go. I didn't know if she was gonna come back. I looked at Caleb. He had his back to me.
I cane behind him and hugged his waist. "Angel let me go." He said. "No Daddy." I whined. He sighed. "Angel I have to go." He said. I pouted and picked up a pillow. I kicked the pillow on the ground. Caleb suddenly turned around and immediately picked up the pillow and set it back down . Caleb wrapped his hand around my neck. "Keep fucking with me Angel." He said. Then she chuckled. "You have no idea what I'm gonna do to you when I get back." He said.
"I'm sorry Daddy. It's just....I don't you to go. What if you never come back?" I asked. He chuckled. "I'll be back baby. The Russian Mafia hasn't trained me as good as my Dad has." He said. I sighed softly and walked over to him. I kissed him and began to suck in his neck. He gave me hickies so it was only fair if I did the same thing. I played with Caleb's tongue til he growled at me. His hand slipped under my shirt. I smirked and walked away from him. Knowing that Caleb was watching me, I decided to flop dramatically on the bed. Sighing, I flopped down.
I sat up and looked at him. He was staring at me. He walked over and kissed me. "Later babygirl. Daddy has business to take care of." He said. I nodded. I watched as he walked out the door and downstairs. I suddenly felt sad. I got up and walked over to the window. I watched as Caleb, Ramón, and Kyle got in the car and drive away with guards trailing behind them.
I sighed and walked back over to the bed. I heard a knock on my door. It opened and Riley & Skylar walked in. "Hey." Skylar said. I gave a small wave. "You okay?" Riley asked. I shook my head. "I miss Caleb, even though he just left." I said. "We miss our men too." Riley said, as she sat down next to me. Skylar did too. "Well we can have a girls day til they come back." She said.
I nodded. "I'd love that." I said. We got up and walked out the door and down the hall. As we passed by a room, Riley peeked inside. "Whoa. Check this out." She said, as she entered. "Riley, I don't think we're supposed to go in there." Skylar said. Riley didn't listen. We walked in after her. We saw a whole bunch of security cameras around the mansion. "Whoa. There's cameras everywhere dude." Riley said.
"Umm I don't see ANY security guards around the mansion." Skylar said. "Well Calvin said he had business to take care of. Maybe they needed every security guard." I said. They nodded. "Maybe. Come on. I'm hungry." Skylar said. We walked out the door and downstairs to the kitchen. Riley ordered pizza for us. Pepperoni and cheese is the best in my opinion.
When the pizza came, the pizza guy looked at us funny. He said it was weird that three girls stayed in this big ass mansion by ourselves. It was weird that he looked around as if he was expecting something. Skylar paid him and he went on his way. "Oh my God this is pizza so good." Riley said. "Honestly Pizza Hut got the best pizza." I said. I looked at Skylar.
She had a funny look on her face. "Sky, what's up?" I asked, curiously. "Did you guys hear a car door slam?" She asked. We paused and heard a few car doors close. "Maybe it's Caleb and the guys." I said. Riley shook her head. "No. Ramón said they'd be gone for a long while." She said. Suddenly, something was thrown threw the windows. We screamed and ducked down.
I looked up to see what looked like gas grenades on the floor. "Guys we gotta go!!" I cried. The three of us got up and ran off down the hall. More gas grenades were thrown through the windows. "Angel we gotta hide!!" Riley cried. "I know." I said. We ran to a door and hide inside. "What the hell is going on?" Skylar asked. I held a finger up to my lips.
We froze as we heard footsteps walking around the house. They were people speaking Russian. We all gasped softly. "The Russian Mafia." Riley said. "How did they find us?" Skylar asked. "I thought back to the pizza delivery guy. "Maybe it was the pizza delivery guy. He had a Russian accent. He was looking around like he was scared." I whispered. "You think he told them where Caleb lives?" Riley asked.
I nodded. "It's a possibility." I said. We heard shouting and footsteps approaching. "Okay we gotta move before they find us." I said. "Where to? This mansion is huge." Skylar said. "Ramón told me about an armory they have in the basement. Apparently it's huge and has LOTS of guns." Riley said. "Then that's where we're headed." I said. "Yeah. Yeah we aren't scared." Skylar said. I smiled.
I opened the door and peeked out. I seen men with guns walking around. "You sure they're here?" I heard someone say with a heavy Russian accent. "I swear. Those three girls were here. I remember seeing one of them at a party two weeks ago." Someone said. I immediately recognized the voice. It was the pizza delivery guy!! I looked back at the girls.
They came up beside me. I have a signal for us to move. We snuck out the room and down the hall. "Riley's where the armory?" Skylar whispered. "Ramón didn't say. He just said there was armory in the basement." She whispered. Suddenly someone shouted something in Russian. We looked around and saw a woman. She shot at us. We screamed and took off running.
"After them!!" Someone yelled. We continued to run around til we came to a room. We ran inside and locked the door. The Russian Mafia banged on the door. "They're gonna get in." Riley said. "We're gonna die." Skylar cried. I looked around and saw we were in a bar. I walked and looked around for something useful. I was about to give up when I saw something. It looked like a hatch door.
"Guys over here." I said. Riley and Skylar ran over to me and looked down. I opened the hatch door and saw stairs. "Wow." Riley said. "Come on. They're gonna get in." Skylar said, as she descended into the floor. We followed behind her. I closed the hatch door and that's gene I heard it. The door opened. We quickly scrambled to get down the stairs. "Where did they go?! Find them!!" Someone yelled.
I looked around. "Are we in a parking garage now?" Riley asked. "Look! There's a door down there." I said. We all took off running towards the door. It led to a brightly lit room. We squinted our eyes. "Whoa. This must be the armory." Skylar said. "It's packed full of guns." Riley said, as she looked around. "It is. Grab what you can. We are NOT going out like punks." I said.
We started grabbing guns, knives, grenades, anything that was useful to us. "Y'all bitches ready?" I asked, grinning. Riley and Skylar looked at me. "Bitch I been ready." Skylar said. "Bitch we armed & dangerous." Riley said, smirking. "You already know. Let's go fuck shit up." I said, as I ran out the door. We found a route back upstairs. We peeked up the stairs and saw three dudes with guns in their hands.
I looked at Skylar, as she stealthy took him out using a knife. Me and Riley stared at her. She looked at us. "What? I may be sweet but I am dangerous." She said. I grinned. Suddenly we were shot at. We ducked down. We heard Russian y'all. We waited til they got closer to shoot them. We took out the three men and kept it moving. We walked around til we seen more men.
"They gotta be around here somewhere." Someone said. I raised my gun and aimed it at his head. Then I shot him and watched his body fall to the ground. "Shit!!" Someone yelled. We let loose rounds of bullets. I heard six bodies fall to the ground. "Angel!!" Someone yelled. I held my hand up for the girls to stop. "How do you know my name?" I asked. "I knew your parents." Someone said. My parents?
"Angel we can make a deal. You can see your parents." He said. "That's impossible. My parents are dead." I said. "No they're not Angel." He said. "Yes they are!!" I cried. "Rosa and Mike didn't die." He said. I froze. "How do you know their names?" I asked. "Angel look let's talk this out. You remember me? Remember my voice?." He asked. "Drop your weapons first. Then we'll talk." I said. I heard guns fall to the ground.
I heard footsteps. I held my gun tight. I peeked up. "Yeah I remember you, Gustavo." I said. I stood up carefully. "What do you want from me?" I asked. "I am leader of Russian Mafia. Look Angel, I know your with Caleb. There's a reason he doesn't appear in social media often. He's in the Mafia, same as me. Mafia doesn't like attention so he and his father stay out of it. But look. Everything you thought you knew about Caleb is a lie." He said.
I stared at him. "We'll come back to Caleb in a minute. How do you know my parents names?" I asked, as I aimed my gun at him. Some men raised theirs at me. "Don't." Gustavo said. He looked at me. "I was friends with your father. He and Rosa did not die in plane crash." He said. His Russian accent was heavy. "They did not die Angel. That couple who raised you weren't your real parents. You know this. You were raised in foster care." He said.
"I know." I said. He nodded. "Good. You were told your parents died in plane crash. They did not." He said. "No yes they did!! I saw the plane crash myself. They died in that plane crash." I said. "No Angel they didn't. I nursed your parents back to health. They lie at home with my wife. I can take you to them. You can leave this...this life with Caleb. He is a liar." He said. I shook my head. He chuckled.
"He kidnapped you three girls, he and his friends. He made you sign a contract, promising to only be with him. He's made you do all kinds of sexual things for his pleasure." He continued. I thought about it. "All of it is for his sick pleasure. He's not right in the head. He fucks girls and gets away with it because he knows he can. His parents are in mafia also. His girlfriend-" I cut him off.
"He doesn't have another girlfriend?" I asked, curiously. He nodded. "Yes. He does. Loren. The girl you constantly fight. That was his girlfriend. His fuck toy. But now that he's found you, he's tossed her aside. Loren, she-she hates you. She's going to kill you unless you leave Caleb. She won't stop until you are dead." He said. "Angel as much as I hate to agree with him, Loren did seem pissed at you the other day." Riley said.
"Yeh. She attacked you for no reason." Skylar said. I thought about it. "Angel I can take you away from here. Take you home to see your real parents. They are waiting. They've waited years to see you." I said. He put his hands up before reaching in his back pocket. I cocked my gun. "Just phone." He said. He pulled it out and turned it on. He pressed a few buttons.
He turned the phone around. Someone answered his FaceTime call. "Gustavo?" Someone answered. "Mike. I found your daughter." Gustavo said. "What? Foreal?" The man asked. Gustavo turned the phone around so it faced me. The man looked at me then smiled. "Angel? Angel!! Rosa!! She's alive!!" He cried. I looked at him. Dad? "Dad?" I said. "Yes babygirl. It's me." He said.
Then a woman appeared on the screen. "Angel? Oh Angel my babygirl!!" It's so good to see that it's really you." She said. I recognized both of my parents immediately. It was actually them. "Where are you?" I asked. Then Gustavo hung the phone up. I looked at him. "Why'd you do that?" I asked. "Do we have a deal Angel?" He asked. "What deal?" I asked, curiously.
"You tell me where Caleb is and I'll let you and your friends live. You are strong and cunning for three young women. You come back with me and you'll be reunited with your parents." He said. I thought about it. "Don't do it Angel." Skylar said. I looked back at her. "Skylar if they are my parents-" she cut me off. "Angel no way. Look, since we first came here, I've wanted nothing more but to leave." She said.
She sniffed. "But now that I've met Kyle, I don't wanna leave. And I don't want you to leave either. Look something isn't right. Gustavo, from what we heard from this mafia, is that your a trickster. You go back on your word." She said. "Yeah. No way those were Angel's real parents." Riley said. "I just showed you proof. They are alive Angel." Gustavo said.
"They were using a face filter!!" Riley yelled. We looked at her. "What?" I asked. "They were using a face filter. I work with computers all day at the magazine industry. We use filters all the time and I know when someone is using a face filter. I know when someone has doctored a photo, used photoshop, or a used a face filter. They were using a face filter Angel. Whoever those people were aren't your parents." She said.
I looked at Gustavo. His eye twitched. "Angel those were your parents." He said, lowly. "Angel who are you gonna believe?" Skylar asked. "Yes Angel. Who are you gonna believe? Some girl you met at Evaluations or the man whose tryna reunite you with your parents?" Gustavo asked. "That 'girl' is her friend. We've become friends. Angel don't tell me you believe a word of this guy?" Riley asked. I just stood there.
So many things were running through my head. "Believe me Angel." Gustavo said. "Yeah Angel. Go ahead and believe the man who was just after us, throwing gas grenades and tryna kill us." Riley said. I snapped. I shot at the Russian Mafia. Gustavo jumped out of the way. He pulled out a gun and shot me in my side. I cried out in pain. I shot at him and hit him in his leg and arm.
He shouted something in Russian. They all started to retreat out the door. Me and the girls got up and ran after them. We shot about six more guys before they all got away. We went back to the living room and sat down for what felt like hours. I was tryna process so many things at once. "Whoa." Someone said. Me and the girls turned around and aimed our guns at the guys.
Caleb, Kyle, and Ramón looked at us. "Whoa hey. It's us!!" Kyle cried. They ran over to us. "Check the house!! See if anyone else is still around!!" Calvin yelled. "Be no point. They all left." I said. "What the hell happened?" Hailey asked. "Angel is bleeding. Get a medic!!" Calvin yelled. "The Russian Mafia is what happened." Skylar said. "What?! They came here?" Calvin cried. "Yeah. The pizza delivery guy snitched in us and they showed us." Skylar said.
"What?!" Kyle said. "We ordered pizza and then the Russian Mafia showed up." Riley said. "Don, there's bodies EVERYWHERE!!" A guard said. Everyone looked at us. "You three girls singlehandedly took on the Russian Mafia by yourselves?" Calvin asked. We all nodded. A medic came up to me and began putting gauze and bandages on my side. I winced in pain.
"What's wrong Angel?" Ramón asked. "That dude, head of the Russian Mafia, Gustavo. He talked to Angel and said that her dead parents were actually alive." Riley said. "He even FaceTimed them. But they were using a face filter. I think..." Skylar said. I looked at her. "You said they were!!" I cried. "I think Angel. I wasn't that close to the phone. Anyways, Angel here thinks her parents are still alive." She said.
"Look my parents died in a plane crash. I saw the plane go down. But Gustavo....he knew my parents names. And those two people....they looked exactly like them." I said. "Angel listen. Gustavo is not to be trusted. He goes back on his word. Don't trust him. Don't listen to him. Everything he says is a lie." Caleb said. I looked up at him. "He also said you and Loren were once engaged. Was he lying about that?" I asked.
I crossed my arms. He stared at me. I scoffed. "Guess he wasn't." I said. "Angel-" I cut him off. "No Caleb!! You had a whole nother bitch before me. You dumped her for me and now she's out there, possibly plotting to kill me. I don't want to wind up dead because you fuck psycho bitches." I said. I turned around before I was grabbed roughly by my hair. "You honestly need to know your place." He said.
He roughly dragged me away and upstairs to his room. I braced myself for what came next.
