The Devil's Angel

Chapter Nine

Damian's pov

My life has never been great than as it is now, call me wicked when I say in a way am grateful for the attack on Cass's sister and the deal we struck. Spending time with her was heavenly, the way her eyes twinkle when she smiles, the beautiful rich sound that echoes anytime she laughs, that mother mood she goes into anytime something wasn't going as plan or one of us was been naughty, I could see why her sisters adore her. I was grateful that not just Jules but even Marshal as warm up to her, he is practically her baby, who knew that harden non smiling brute could actually smile and laugh, God know I have never seen Marshal smile or laugh since dad died and I know deep down he blames me for it, so do I. I also noticed Cass and John, those two looks like they had a relationship long before I introduced her to the stakeholders at Jules birthday party, the party that got me breathless the moment Cass walked in dressed so beautiful that taking my eyes off her felt like she would vanish and I won't get to see her again. I wasn't jealous of her and John in fact I was grateful and happy, John need the attention and it was clear as daylight that what he has for my little fighter was father to daughter love, the light was back into his eyes. She was a blessing to everyone even though they don't know it yet. Ever since John lost his family to a rival gang he has been dead to us, on a killing spree till I had to put him down by making him the head of my under boss at least that way he will be busy. The death of his wife and daughter was a blow to us all, Jasmine wasn't just his daughter but she was a friend, sister and my first crush, I think her death was part of what made me the devil I am cuz she was the light to my dark tunnel, the color to my colorless life and I lost her. I never thought with all the evil I have done God will grace me with another light, a perfect angel, my angel and this time even if it kills me I will protect her and all that matters to her.

To us all she was no more little, for the past few weeks/months she has grown in so many ways, her body was more tone, she was in tune with her inner spirit and they were one, she was brutal with the most deadly attack I have seen in years, she was fast as lightning, swift and cunning, quick, precise, smart and calculative she predict your moves before you make them but will never let you guess what she up to. She has beaten every of her team mates in all the training dished out by me or Hugo. At her spare time she also train with Marshal, Jules, Amanda and Lissy, she was the highest ranking recruit we had, am still scared of what her weapon of choice will be, praying for it not be knife cuz I can't deal with another Jules in my life always throwing those deadly sharp knives.

As promised we got to spent time getting to know ourselves and she been open to a lots of things even though it isn't all and am not in a hurry, trust isn't built in a day or in a matter of month, I too have my own secrets that are too painful to dig up. We haven't gone on a date yet, I was planning a day after her inauguration as a way of welcoming her and also telling her what have been on my mind, the feeling I couldn't deny anymore. The gang have been trying for a while to get me laid but no girl came in comparison to my angel, she was too good for me, like moth to the flame I was drawn to her, her every move, so fucking drawn that she became my sparring partner and I know everyone saw it. Over the years I have only sparred with either my immediate family, Hugo or John and anytime these persons were unavailable Hugo hires a partner for me but as of late nothing gives me the joy and the drill as fighting with her. I need to make Hugo pair us, I have a lot to teach her, a lot of combo attack we could do. Damn, in my mind eyes she was already my queen all I need to do is make it into reality.

Dressed in one of my recent three pieces Armani suit a call came, who in their right mind will be calling me this early, checking my phone my heart stop, it was a call from Cass, is she alright, hope nothing wrong,  I wondered. I picked the call and as usual I got blown by the sweetness of her voice.

"Hey Damian, good morning, I was wondering if I could call in sick, I don't feel good, hope it won't cause any problem I really need to rest and tend to myself". She said. "yes of course you can, take your time and rest love, call me if anything change or happen".
