CHAPTER TWO

THE BAD DAY!

Angelina

Six months ago from now continuation....

I stomped over to Archer's big office and stared him for a while. He knew everything yet he led me into this.

How could he?

He was my father's friend and from the day of dad's death, he dealt with our every problem like a family but what happened now?

" You shouldn't have done this to me, Archer , after knowing everything. " I said to him, accusingly.

" Oh Angelina! Please sit here. We can talk this out. " He said holding my hand and making me sit in the chair.

" I can't work with him. This has become my dream project as I started it, and here now, everything is spoiled. You should have told me earlier. " I said to him loudly.

He smiled at me and leaned on his table holding both of my hands. His tall figure just beside me, bend down as he kiss the top of my hand.

" You are a sweet and innocent girl whose four years version has played in my arms. I can't see your sad and hurt eyes. Smile a bit!"

His genuine words hit me and I felt guilty of yelling at him, and that's what I do to people when he take over my head.

How can I forget the amazing Archer who used to bring me candies?

Well I did for a moment.

" I had no idea until yesterday, darling! You know I wouldn't bring any harm closer to you. Wasn't I the one who alerted you about him in the first place? " He asked me.

I shook my head and looked down. The day I officially crashed into the devil, I didn't know a thing about him until Archer told me when he found me with him in the coffee shop.

Since that day, Ethan had pestered me by showing up time to time. His hoarse voice and the European accent may be so sexy but what those words sense were really dirty and insulting.

And today I got to know that I had to work with him. It meant lot of intensional meetings and talks over phone. Initially I knew that I was doing the designing for Mr. John Street but here I found him as my client.

" It was Mr. Street's proposal how he got it? " I asked Archer.

" Yeah it was. But after finalising everything they revealed that Ethan bought the whole land and rights over it in surprising amount for sure. " He explained to me grimly.

" We cancel it. I ain't doing anything for him. I want my design back. " I said confidently.

" We can't. We signed the contract, took the payment, your hard work belong to him, not wholly but yeah, you can't withdraw your work anymore. " He looked down rubbing my hands.

This can't be happening!

Even the thought of meeting him for the work but ending up talking shits was horrible, I couldn't figure how will I do it in real. His leering eyes and the shameless lips came before my eyes and I shivered in disgust and fear at the same time.

" What can I do now? " I almost cried at Archer who closed his eyes and when opened it, he had pity on them.

" I am sorry to say this but there is no other option than this but I doubt that you would like it. " He said mysteriously.

If escaping is a thing then I am ready for it than facing the s**t of a man!

" What is it? " I asked him.

" You can't withdraw your work but you can withdraw yourself. Let him have his rights stuck up his ass over the land. Ditch this project! You deserve much better than working with a man who don't see woman more than an object to please himself. " He said trying to bring in energy but I was able to see the pain in his eyes of losing to someone like that. He never let his bars down but he did it now. Maybe he was thinking that I won't be able to cope working with him.

" I think I should do it. I am doing it. " I said but it was hurting to know that I just prepared to let go of my hard work.

Archer gave me a warm smile and said ," No one can take away your talent Angie. I know you will create yet another masterpiece of a work. I know you will. Don't lose your hope. "

I returned him a smile before hugging him hard relieving from my pain of yet another betrayal from life.

What would have happened if he wasn't here for me now?

" Okay now lets tell him what he is getting from you. " Archer chirped patting my back.

" Please make Ethan Ellsworth feel that he lost his game this time. " I said before turning to leave.

Though I lost still I win.

I consoled myself with the thought that I wasn't forced to work with him at least, and headed back to my friends. It is our lunch break.

Bridget looked at me sadly as she passed me my food. I wasn't that sad now but I knew I would always remember the hardworking I put on the project.

"That's okay Bri. I am fine and hungry." I said taking my fork and showing her.

She giggled before eating her food. The pancake wrapped in transparent pack that I saw in my plate was specially put to make me happy. I glanced Bri as I picked it up and unwrapped it.

"Thank you. " I said to her.

" Anytime. " She chirped.

••

Taking my things I head to the parking when I get to see an expected person. His long face with blue eyes stare me back dangerously. I stare at them back, unblinking and go on staring him.

What the he'll!

He wasn't blinking at all and it became a big competition to not blink. When it got lot hard to resist the reflex, I blinked before trying to get away and sped to home.

" Why you did that? " He asked me stepping before me.

" Why you did that? No wait! I know why. You have sworn to make my life easy, right? " I hissed at him as I move past him.

He held my wrist and swirled me around, making me to gasp for air as I hit his hard and nicely carved chest.

" Leave me. I will yell, leave me. " I punched his chest and stumbled few steps back.

He smirked and licked his lips as his hands ran through his hair. I hated that look on his face, it disgusted me. Holding myself, I stand straight glaring him as he step towards me.

" I don't want to take away your happiness love. Work on what you started. That design is yours and you will groom it more. " He said again in his husky commanding voice.

" I don't want to work on it anymore. And if you want me happy then never ever show your face to me. " I said to him moving to move but was he letting me go that easily?

" Oh my Angel! You don't know what you want, I know it and will let you get it too. " He said to me.

I sighed deeply and looked at him in the eye, confident and deep eyes.

" Do you want to know what you want? " He whispered coming up to my ear.

" Go away! " I said closing my eyes.

" You want a passionate love filled with deep desire that melts you, shivers you and the pull, pull in there makes you cry for more. You want to explore to its depth as you crush - " He went on and on his really disgusting voice making me to cut him off.

" Stop Ethan, stop now. "

I wondered how I even let him say this far. For a moment I believed him, no I didn't know what exactly I wanted so I was just hearing him. But why him? Hadn't I got other beautiful people than to listen this hell of a man?

" It's okay love. You will know what you want because I am here to help you with it. " He said holding my arms.

Anger got the best of me and the shake his hands away yelling at him,

" Who the hell do you think you are?! You manipulator! You think I will swing in your fingers like other woman? But no I am not them. Stop. Playing with me. "

He came closer holding my arms much tighter this time," I am not manipulating you Angel, I am letting you see things so that you could choose what you want. You see me, you want me! That's how it works. Explore and see me. "

He stared into me eyes, then to my lips and added," You are attending the meeting tomorrow to discuss certain things about this project. You get that?"

"I am not. " I said looking straight into his challenging eyes. I didn't fear him because I had worse past these years.

" Yes you will unless you don't want me to force you into it and you seriously don't want that love. " He pinched my cheeks.

He exhaled as he leave me and rub his hands off, smiling devilishly at me.

I watched his retreating tall figure until he opened the door of his car and gave me look before slipping inside of it.

" Go to hell bast**d! " I yelled over nothing.

Taking a frustrated breath, I drive back to home. Liam was home and his head was inside his Xbox. The sound of the shotguns and bombs entered my ear.

" Hey Liam! " I said to get no reply from him.

I glanced him before walking to kitchen and grabbing a glass of water. He didn't look back either.

" How was your day? " I shouted out of the noise.

" Fun and lots and fun. " He said. I walked up to him and sat on the adjacent sofa.

He glanced me before saying," Someone had a bad day!"

I smiled at him and said, " I think so. I lost my dream project Liam. It was so important to me."

He paused his game and said, " Are you telling me this so that I don't ask you for any stuff?"

What?

" No! No, Liam, no. I was just sharing... I need to-" I said but he began his game, maybe to block me.

" Liam you can have whatever you want. I will never bring the day when you will have to aback for something you desire. I promise. I am doing it all for you, for us. " I said holding his hand.

He looked up at me hesitantly and nodded. I put my hand over his cheek and rubbed it a bit.

" You know I always wanted this from you. To sit and talk to me. Say that 'everything is fine, I am there for you', or maybe just sit beside me? " He said.

I hugged him tightly as I said," or hug you. "

" But now I don't need it anymore. Moreover I am seventeen and over seeking you and your attention. " He said pulling away and shrugging.

" Liam? " I called for him as I saw the white packet peek out of his bag. He was still taking weeds.

He looked at me quite horrified then snatched the bag from my hand.

" You are wasting yourself. You promised me that you won't do it now. How could you? " I asked him.

" Please Angie! Where were when I used to come to you? You would stand up and shut yourself, in your bedroom for days, not caring how I am doing. Why do you care now? This thing helps me so please keep walking away from me. I am doing fine. "

He stood up and started to run upstairs with his bag when I began to say," I lost them too Liam. I am sorry I forgot about you but I will amend things. "

He clutched the baluster hard as he said," You forgot for over a year Angie. I.. I feel bad now that.. That I forgot them then because I started to miss you Angie. "

That worked as a pang to my heart. I hurt him more than the death of mom and dad. He was just fourteen that time to handle himself.

He ran upstairs when I called him in vain for number of times.

" Liam stay where you are! Stand at the spot, I say. " I ordered him. He stood in the middle of the stairs.

" Blah, blah, blah, BLAH! I heard you Angie, " He said as he turned to me," Like hundred, no million of times. So forgive me! "

He began to stomp up again when I tell back after a second thought of it,"I am calling the sheriff Liam if you don't pass me that. "

I bit the inside of my cheek. I seriously had no idea as to how to handle him and then he was a teenage. I remembered what I was?

A reckless and arrogant girl who used to show off a lot.

He turned again. I picked up my phone and showed him as I waited for him to say something.

" Go ahead! It would be a better for a change. " He said and licked his lips looking down.

" I don't care. " He added when he looked up to me, and then ran upstairs to his bedroom.

What am I going to do now?

I threw my phone on the table and slump myself into the sofa.

" I miss you mom dad. Please help me!"

Today sucked!
