Angelic Touch [H.S.]

Chapter 2

The casino had large men in black suits walking around, chatting. At least 30 of them.

I walked over to the blackjack table and stood at the end waiting for Harry to return.

I felt like I was being watched as I started fidgeting with my ring. Its an anxiety ring my mom got me.

"What's a person like you doing here?" a man in a black suit spoke taking a stand right against the table staring at me

"It's a casino" I spoke

"Honey it's not just a casino" he told me

This man was probably in his late 40s and was starting to inch closer.

I turned to walk away just as the man grabbed my arm and pulled me back around.

"Get the fuck away from me" I spoke to him now inches away from his face

"That's no way to speak to a man" He spoke striking me with his hand across my face

I took his hand bending it backwards and pinning him against the table

"Go fuck yourself" I spoke as another man, one that went with Harry with blonde hair grabbed him and punched him repeatedly until he fell

"You alright?" The blonde one asked me

"yeah. What is this place? Who are you guys?" I asked him

"Harry will explain it all but my names Niall" He told me

"I'm Rose but wait where is Ha" I stopped speaking when I felt a pair of hands snake around my waist

God how I miss your touch

The man on the ground started to get back up when Harry released his arms from me and grabbed him up by the collar, pinning him against the wall

"If you touch her again that will be the last thing you ever fucking do" He spit at him before a man escorted him out of the building

"You didn't have to do that" I told him

"Yes I did, he touched you." He told me

"What did the guys at your house want?" I spoke changing the conversation

"Money" He told me

"why" I asked him

"Let's go somewhere else and talk. Okay?" he asked me

I nodded and followed him in an elevator up to the top floor. It was only 3 levels but still. Then down a long hallway, last door on the right.

Once he opened the door I saw 3 men also in suits chatting and piles of money all over the room

"Get out" Harry spoke and no questions were asked, they all followed

The room had a couch, a table and two chairs on each side

Harry sat at one end of the couch and I sat on the other

"What do you want to know first?"

"What is this place" I spoke

"It's a casino during the night but throughout the day we use it to do business. We wash money. Turn the fake money into real money and give it to other businesses. That's who all the men in the suits are" He told me

"Why" I asked

"The guys you met Niall, Liam and Zayn. None of us have a choice. We came from terrible situations or just thought the offer was all glorious when he offered it to us. We were all in high school and Nathan took us out of those situations and put us here. I never came from anything bad my family, friends, everything was great. He came into my work one day and offered this to me but made it seem like it only had perks and it was amazing. He made it seem like glorious" Harry told me
