Chapter 4
ANGELINA'S POV
***
"Blaze I'm fine! You don't need to worry about me!" I mumble while placing the decorations on the table.
"He grabbed me by my waist and he pulled me close to him." I stare into his eyes for a moment. "I care for you." He whispered. "Why you do?"
He slowly removed his hand from my waist, "I don't know." Is all he said, why would he care for me! I'm just a simple girl, am not his choice.. I don't understand this men.
"Anyway you can't feel the same way as I do!" He stated but it sound more like he whispered it.
"Wait! What, why should I feel the same way as you?" I utter immediately.
"Wait! Did I mentioned the dress code will be purple?" He changed the whole topic, is he serious!
"No you didn't!"
"Yeah! The dress code is purple." He added while analysing the club which has already been decorated.
"Damn! I don't have any purple dress. Is it important?" I questioned him confusedly.
"Yes, it's very important, I want everything to be perfect for Lea and you need to wear a purple dress.."
"Blaze I can stay at home! I don't want to attend the party." I requested him, I know he will refuse me but still I tried.
"No way! You are coming tonight." He ordered with a serious look.
"First of all I don't have the stupid dress code colour, secondly I have this fuckin pain on my hand and you want me to attend this shitty party like a fool?" I shouted at him in frustration.
"Calm down Angelina! Why are you being frustrated, it's ok I can understand you have pain on your hand. But you did so much for this party and I will take care of you until the party ends." He sounds very promising with his words. I look at him with a questioning look.
"What about my dress, where will I get it from?" I said coldly without showing him any reaction. I know he is up for something or else he would never insisted me to attend the party.
"I'll buy you a dress! I was about to leave, let's go I'll take you to the mall." He stated calmly.
"Are you kidding me we have only two hours left for the party to begin! It is now you want to buy me a dress."
He grab my hand and he lead me outside of the club. "Where the hell are you taking me too!" I shouted. "We are going to brought you a new dress." He mutter.
"No I can buy myself a dress I don't need your help and I can drive myself to the shopping mall." I said while trying to remove my hand from his grip.
"You are going with me, that's final." He mumble while opening the door of the car for me and he forcefully made me sit inside of the car. He then got on the driving seat and started the engine.
Arriving at the Mall he lead me to a dress boutique which was a luxurious design with branded clothes and accessories.
"How can I help you?" A sales girl asked us. "Can you show us all the purple colour dresses which you have." Blaze stated, the girl went to the clothes racks and she fetches some purple dresses and came back to us.
"Here are the most beautiful dresses which we have on the shop, sir." She said with a welcoming smile. I tried to choose one but I didn't like any of them and I don't want Blaze to spend money on me. He made me left my hand bag in the car and I don't have money with me.
"I think this one is the most beautiful one!" Blaze exclaimed while admiring the dresses.
"Choose any of them, I'll wear it!" I said coldly.
"Pack this one I'll buy it.." He told the girl, "do you like it?" He questioned me. "If you've chosen it, I must definitely like it!" I mumble, he when to the counter for the payment then we went back to the parking area.
"How I will drive to the club? You made me left my car at Brent's club!" I stated while glancing at him.
"I will pick you from home, anyway you would not be able to drive either, your hand is injured." I just nodded my head, he is right I can't drive with this hand.
Blaze dropped me at home, I was walking to my bedroom when I was interrupted by my parent's conversation. They were in the study room, I know I should not listen to them. But I've heard something about me, I take small steps and stand beside the door.
"I don't think you should hand over the company to Angelina, I mean I know she is your daughter but she is a girl I don't think she will be able to rule a company alone." My step mother told dad who was sitting on his chair with his hands on the table. He looks confused but he listened to Clara with all his attention.
"According to me, Angelina is capable to handle our company." Dad stated, "why don't you understand darling! She is a girl one day she will get married and then she will not get the time for the company, so instead of her why don't you handover the company to Brent!" She said which didn't made any effect on daddy's face.
"Yeah, I think you are right! After my retirement, Brent will take my place." He said while Clara gave him a hug.
"She proved it, she was here only for her son! Stepmother can't never be trusted." I whispered to myself then I made my way to my room. I little drop of tears rolled down my cheeks.
It's not like I want the company! That company was on my mom's name and I don't want another person to rule that place. But I'm sure Brent will take good care of the company, I trust him.
Taking a shower, I began to dress up for the party. We should reach there before Lea. Especially Blaze need to get there before everyone because he needs to buy the cake.
I open the bag and take out the dress, I take a good look at the dress. I didn't watch the dress at the mall, its beautiful. I must say Blaze has a good choice.
I wear my dress and I have already done with makeup. I just need to do something with my hairstyle. I take a
strand of my hair with my fingers, I hear my mobile phone buzzing. I chuckle, taking it I slide the screen without seeing the caller ID.
"I'm waiting infront of your room's door!" I heard Blaze's voice. What he is doing here?
"Wait, what?" I utter confusedly, "open the door!" He exclaimed, I can hear him from inside that's mean he is not joking I immediately run to open the door.
Opening the door I saw him, he is very dashing today. He is wearing a violet coloured suit with a purple tie, but his suit is not completely violet it gives the colour brown more, he said the dress code will be purple and he wear only a purple tie!
"You broke the rules!" I said with a smirk. "Why?" He sound serious. "You are not wearing nothing purple except for the tie." I said coldly.
"I'm the boss!" He smirked with a devilish look. Damn! He look really handsome, I can't help but stare him.
"Are you ready?" He ask me. "I just need to fix my hair." I mumble, "we are being late! I need to get the cake before reaching to the club." He said irritatingly.
"Who let you came inside?" I questioned.
"You're mom, she thought I was here to meet Brent!" He stated while sitting on my bed, he is feeling himself at home! How comfortable he is.. I tried really hard to fix my hair but it's continue to messed up everytime.
"Angelina you are wasting my time!" He raised his voice all of a sudden which made me froze.
"I can't fix this!" I exclaimed in frustration. He stand up from the bed then he approached near me, "let me fix it." He whispered while taking the hair clip from my hand and the brush. He kept them, then he run his hand on my hair, letting it flows.
"Its perfect, you don't need any hairstyle." He whispered near my ears while glancing me in the mirror. I nodded my head with a smile. "Should we leave now?" He ask me.
I take my purse then we walk outside from my room, we went downstairs on the living room. Mom was sitting in the couch, she stand up when she noticed us. I remember what I've heard an hour ago. That makes me hate her, but I can't because my father respect this woman.
"Where are you going?" She ask me.
"To the club." I mumble.
"Wow your dress is pretty." She mutter.
"Thank you!" I said while glancing at Blaze, who was already looking at me with a smile playing on his lips.
"Excuse us please.." mom said while she drag me in the corner. "Are you angry with me?" She questioned.
"No!"
"I know you've heard us talking in the study room!" She stated. I widened my eyes at her with a blank reaction.
"Your brother deserves our company, you are a girl and he is a boy so we think he will get more time to handle that company!" She said.
"I don't care who would get the most time for the company. The only thing that matters for me is.., that company was for my mother and you can't handle it to your son! I was glad that my father was the boss! My mother always wanted me to take over that company, it was her dream to make me the leader! And who are you to decide our family matter! I'm not jealous with Brent, it is fine if he gets the company, but I would've been happy if you would have ask me before! And yes you don't have the right to say that its 'our' company. I would suggest you to stay away from our family matter!" I said with tears streaming from my eyes, I hate to yell at someone.
"And yes I'm happy with my club I don't need anything else. I know you've marry my father for all that he have! I'm not a gold digger but a daughter who want to complete her biological mother's dream!" She became speechless, I walk back to Blaze while wiping my tears.
His face changed completely when he saw me crying, he threw a glance full of anger at Clara who was standing behind me. He clenches his jaw with an anger look with his fist closed as if he want to punch someone.
Why he cares? He doesn't even know me!
