The Devil's Angel (Part 1)

Tragedy in heaven

Zale Pov:

          The awaited weekend is here but I can't spend time with her. This fucking deal is taking long and the party wants to negotiate with teams with we have given.

I am in my office conference room. They are stating bullshits. "If you want to continue you can only agree with the contract which I stated. Your conditions are not gonna work with me" I said with a cold tone.

"Mr. Helmer, the contract states that we have a 20% share in this. Now as per the market value we have to raise the shares" one of the members said

I raise my eyebrow with a questioning look. "I think you didn't get to read your contract properly. First, consult a lawyer and read it. Don't waste my time" I said and dashed out.

They have wasted my fucking 1hours on this. I went to my office and sat on my chair. My phone vibrated with my angel's message. She informed me that she is on the way home. I like how she is saying my place is home.

It was never been a home to me. It's just a building I use to stay in. That's it. Now, it's home to me. My angel changed it to a home. I smiled at her message. She is mad at me for not being at home with her. I know how to convince her. I am sure she could be smiling at the message now.

Thinking of her smiling face makes a small smile form on my lips. I heard a faint knock and my assistant came in with the coffee. It's usual, that I will drink coffee before and after the meeting.

She placed the coffee on the desk. Her hands are trembling. I narrowed my eyes and looks at her. She is kind of nervous. She is sweating and her eyes are not stable.

I asked her "Lina Is something wrong?"

"Sir! N-No, actually yes. My da-daughter is not feeling well" she stammered.

"You can leave. I'm almost done with the work" I said and sip the coffee.

I furrowed. This is not the usual taste of coffee. It's bitter. I didn't lash out at her. I know she is worried about her daughter. I pass this. I drink the coffee and look at her.

"Why are you standing here?" I asked her

"Sir, uh- Nothing! I will leave. Thank you" She said and wiping her hands in her clothes. Is her daughter that serious? Should I ask her?

It's none of my business. If she needs help she will ask. I complete the coffee and resumed my pending work. I am happy that the work is done so soon. I can be with her earlier now.

I was about to leave my office when Hendrik rushed toward me with a file. "Zale, you should see this," he said

"What's this? Henrik, I don't have time for this. She is waiting for me" I said

"It's about Tara. You should see" He said. This made me halt in my step. I look at him carefully. He is serious. We went back to my office. I was sitting on the sofa. My head started to hurt.

I got a file from Hendrik and looks at that. The information in the file makes me burn in rage. How dare? I look at Henrik with full rage. I was also hurt by this information. I never thought it will turn out this way.

"We should deal with this carefully. The information might be wrong" he said

"Fucking hell! It's a betrayal. I will not be leaving this" I said and throw the file with force. The paper is scattered on the floor.

My body is shaking due to betrayal. I dashed out. I heard Hendrik shouting back at me. I am not going to hear any of this.
