Taken By The Mafia Lord

Chapter 902 My Love Is Twisted

"What are you doing here?" Angelica's eyes were burning embers when she caught sight of Daniel.

While he would have made her pulse quicken the other times, she was full of rage now. Angelica knew the story, more like, could recall it as it was told to her by her daughter, Adele. Daniel should have never summoned her in the first place, it was dangerous.

The war brewing between Richardo and Marcel made everyone go into hiding. But then, Daniel knew that, and yet he invited her over to his place. Had she known that, she would never have gone with Haz in the first place.

Daniel was not scared of the danger or rather had no regard for her life. While a part of her that once appreciated Daniel defended him, claiming that he would have not seen an attack from Richardo coming, Angelica knew the truth. Daniel was simply selfish. He cared for no one. She had been a fool to think that she could save him. Make him better.

Now she saw him for who he was, dark and unredeemable. Daniel was destined to be alone and it hurts that she didn't realize it until it cost her legs. Instead of him, her future is over. What could she do in this state? She would be nothing but a burden to Adele. It was enough that she was too embarrassed to face her daughter.

She broke her promise to Adele to stay away from Daniel on the same day. How pathetic could she get? Angelica wanted to take care of her daughter, but how would she do that now? She can't even take care of her unborn grandchildren in this state. Her life was practically over.

So yes, she had many reasons to hate Daniel right now. To loathe him. To despise him. All her life she has known her legs and moved with them, now, she would have to depend on others to move.

He called her name, "Angelica…."

"Please don't…" She begged him. He has already taken everything from her. What else does he want?

"I'm sorry," Daniel said for the first time, the two words keeping her in stunned silence.

He went on to say with a pained look in his eyes, "I don't have regrets but for the first time I can't live knowing this is what I cost you."

Tears stung her eyes and as much as she tried to keep them at bay, they still managed to flow down her cheeks.

She breathed, wiping away at her reads furiously, "What's done is done, Daniel. It's over. You can leave now."

"No, come with me."

"What?!" Her head snapped up, her eyes widening while her jaw nearly dropped to the ground from the shock.

He hurriedly explained, "I can't stay here any longer, Angelica. It's the price I have to pay to Natalie for saving her life."

Angelica opened her mouth to say something but she couldn't utter a word. It was just too sudden and her head was reeling with the revelation.

As if confident he could win her over, Daniel went on, "The both of us would go somehow far away where no one would find us. I don't believe that you would be unable to walk for the rest of your life, so we'll find a solution. It would not be easy but it's worth giving it a try."

"Why?" The question slipped from her mouth, "You don't even love me, so why would you want me to come with you?" Her gaze searched his eyes, waiting for that answer that would determine her decision.

Daniel swallowed a lump in his throat. He couldn't even form the answer, not to mention speak it out.

And his delay was all the answer that she needed.

"Of course," She threw her head and laughed through the tears, her mirth mocking. What had she been expecting when the answer was obvious? He could admit that she was more than his object for self-gratification. Adele was right, he was not capable of love.

"You should -"

"I like you." He kind of spat out the words forcefully as if his tongue had been stitched and he barely tore his mouth open.

Angelica blinked at him, what did he just say? No, she must have heard wrongly.

With the cat finally out of the bag, it was easier for him to confess the rest of them.

He said, "I like you, Angelica. However, I don't know how to love. Most people say my love is twisted and should be barely referred to as one. But I do know how scared I felt at the thought of you dying. I would have given my life in exchange if demanded. No, I would have burned the world down for your sake. I don't think I ever want to lose you again, Angelica. "

It wasn't until Daniel was in front of her and wiping the tears from her eyes that Angelica realized she had been crying. That was barely a love confession, but coming from Daniel, it was enough.

" I can't go with you…. A-Adele... " She choked," She would be left all alone."

"I know. The both of us are horrible parents," He snorted, "Perhaps, that is why we deserve each other."

She smiled through the tears, his attempt at making her laugh working just a little.

"But then, Angelica, leaving Adele is more of a blessing than a curse right now. Both of us know she's in no position to take care of you right now. Let me take care of you for the rest of our pathetic lives together."

And yes, she agreed to it.

Angelica knew deep down that Adele was never going to forgive her for this. Perhaps, that was why she didn't leave her a letter or a text. Like the coward she always was, Angelica made it seem like Daniel took her away. Like she had no choice. That way, she would not hate her more.

"Boss," Daniel turned to Konstantine's second in command after carefully settling Angelica in the backseat.

"I'm not your boss." He told him.

"But you would make a perfect leader."

"Yes, I would, but I won't." He said firmly.

"What are you going to do then?"

"Travel for a while? I have come to find out that in my greed to accumulate power, I have not even begun to appreciate life. I'll do that. It's not such a bad age to retire. "

He dropped his hand on the man's shoulder and squeezed tightly, "You would make a fine leader if your followers don't stab you in the back as well. But then, it's nice knowing you owe me a favor. Who knows? I might come to collect it in the future. Now have a nice day."

Daniel decided it was time to leave before Angelica's vengeful daughter hunts him down.
