FOREVER YOURS

Chapter 28

Elijah's pov
--------------------

We watch as Dante goes after Nicole before the room falls silent again.

My phone vibrates inside my pocket and I swiftly take it out,turning away from the others. Reading the message from one of my most trusted guards, I call him.

A few minutes later, I sigh deeply before turning towards Lorenzo - who's staring at an oblivious Angela. "Get ready.We leave in five." I grit out.

He looks over at me before getting up from the couch and patting down his suit. I narrow my eyes as he walks over to Angela and takes her hand in his. He lifts her hand and kisses her knuckles before smirking at her.

I growl and move towards him, ready to shoot him in the face but he chuckles and lets go of her hand. He walks out of the living room, with a glaring Gio following close behind.

I slightly relax when I hear the front door shut behind them. Lorenzo enjoys making my blood boil and would never give up an opportunity to do so. I don't know how he knows about Angela and that only infuriates me more.

"I have to leave for a few hours, is there anything that you need while I'm gone?" I ask Angela.

She shakes her head before asking,"Where are you going?"

"To the warehouse and then I have to go to one of my clubs later."

She nods before asking, "Can I go with you?"

I immediately frown. "No."

Now she's frowning. "Why not?"

"Because it's not safe." I say with a stern voice, but she seems unaffected and crosses her arms over her chest.

"Will Gio go with you?" She asks and I nod.

"Will Lorenzo go with you?"She asks again and I give a hesitant nod , not quite sure why she's asking me this.

"What about Dante?" She tilts her head to the side. "Will he be with you guys too?"

And I nod again. She claps her hands and smiles up at me. "Then I'll be as safe as I can be."

I let out a sigh and stare down at her as she smiles up at me with her bright green eyes. The dimple on her left cheek is standing out more as she smiles. Her long black hair is let down today and she's wearing a light blue sundress. And there's only one word to describe her.

Angelic.

"You look beautiful, Angel." I say as I slowly bring my hand up to her hair, threading my fingers through her dark strands. "I like when you wear your hair down."

I smile as her cheeks tint pink. "Thank you." She says quietly.

I grab her face with both my hands and run my thumbs over her cheeks. "But I especially love it when you blush." I chuckle as I see her cheeks burning even redder than before.

She shyly looks away while smiling before stepping away from me. "So can I go with you?"

I sigh again before nodding reluctantly.

She smiles at me gleefully before heading towards the door. I shake my head and go after her.

The things I would do for her.

Reaching outside, the small smile on my lips fades as I catch Lorenzo winking at Angela before he gets into his car and starting it. He sees me glaring at him and the only response I get is him smirking before driving away.

I grunt before opening the car door for Angela and getting into the driver's seat. I send Dante a quick text before telling Angela about the extra guards I'm bringing with us.
