Angel Of Death

６

N E X T morning, on a bright and shiny Saturday, Angelica woke up in the arms of her beloved. The sunlight poured in from the opened curtains, falling on the ring that decorated her ring finger. The gleaming diamonds, reflected on the charcoal wall that was adjacent to the wall behind the bed. The reflected rays of light created a beautiful kaleidoscope of colours. Resulting in Angelica to gasp with wonder. Never had she seen a sight so pretty. Lifting her thin arm into the air, she looked at the engagement ring with tear filled eyes. It was perfect. She had always wished for a stunning ring, one that would cause people passing by to praise her. Most people would call her stuck up for that, however, she felt that loving big gems and sparkly items did not define her personality.

Having stared at the ring enough, Angelica extended her arm to the bedside table. It was a difficult feat to grab her phone. The strong, muscular arms that were wrapped around her waist made it difficult to make any movement. After a bit of struggle, Angelica was successful in grabbing her phone. She turned it on to look at the time. 8:45 am, the brightscreen screamed at her, causing her to wince. Knowing that it was still a bit early, she set an alarm for 9:30 am and turned around. Snuggling into the chest of her soon to be husband. His broad, muscular chest and arms that had prominent veins running the length of them, was the place she felt most secure at. She knew no matter what happened, no matter what she did, at the end of the day this man would always hug her with open arms and accept her without question.Sighing in content, full of happiness Angelica closed her eyes, praying to the highest power to never let their bond break.

It was forty-five minutes later that the shrill ringing of the alarm woke Alexander up. He grabbed the ringing phone that lay next to his Angel's head, and turned the alarm off. He lay in the position he woke up in so as to not wake Angelica up. Their legs were entangled, the duvet covering them from waist downwards. His Angel's head was snuggled into his chest and her hand that wore the ring of his name lay on his biceps. Alexander gently moved his fingers in her waist length hair. The dark ebony a stark contrast to her fair skin.

Finally at 10:00 am when he was finally satisfied with having looked at her enough, he decided it was time they wake up and start the day.
"Hey Angel, wake up honey," he cooed at Angelica, who seemed to be in a deep sleep.
She mumbled something incoherent, burying herself deeper into the sheets.
"Come on baby, you gotta wake up. We need to head out to the court for our marriage registration. Come on love. Wakeup Angel," he tried to wake her up once again.
When he finally understood that she was not going to wakeup, Alexander entangled himself from her body. Deciding to get dressed first.

He took a steamy bath, lathering his body with his unscented body wash. Imagining his life that had passed and the days that were to come. He was raised in an orphanage, his parents were shot in a police - thief battle, the thieves shot at his parents who were innocent passersby just cause a diversion to escape. They succeeded but left a little boy orphan. For the longest time he had blamed himself. Had he not sent his parents out to buy him supplies for his project, they would have been alive and well in the comfort of their own homes.

He was cheated out of his parents wealth by someone. They had established a business that was getting better by the day. Alexander had fought tooth and nail for it however he failed. So he decided to become powerful enough to defeat the people who had cheated him out of everything. Meeting Angelica was a sweet unexpected event. After they had begun dating for a year, he told her about his past and what his goals were, that was when Angelica came clean aswell. He fell more in love with her in that single moment, if it was possible to love her more deeply. She had become a part of his soul. He did not know what he would do if something happened to her.

Today they were going to be starting a new chapter of their lives. If that was not the single most exciting thing to ever happen to him he did not know what was. Stepping out of the large glass shower, Alexander wrapped a huge fluffy tower around his body. Brushing his teeth and trimming his beard, he stepped into the closet. The large closet was full to the brim with his and Angel's clothes. His side was mostly neutral and dark tone suits. And a wall full of formal dress shoes.
