Sassy Angel’s Secret Sin

Chapter 36

Chapter 36 – One Last Time (Sky‘s POV)

“That girl really messed up with your brain, huh?” Dad smiled as I asked Frank to stop the car on Heaven Avenue for the last time. “What if she doesn‘t exist?”

It had been two months, and I was like a lunatic still looking for her, yet I could not find her. What is the justification of heaven for making such a big joke? I asked for a miracle, not an ugly duckling who hid her true beauty and left a curse in my life like I could not give my whole heart to the woman I had been chasing for a long time.

Lalaine and I spent a great week in the Caribbean. Still, every time I kissed her, I would remember the mysterious young woman I was with that night at the party, the angel I married, and a teenager who admitted and slammed the truth into my face that our marriage was never binding.

“I can‘t forgive her, Dad. No one messes with the Mighty Sky,” I gritted my teeth in anger and great pain hidden in my heart. “Angels can,” Olivia giggled as she pressed her forehead on the window. “Oh! Elenita, look! A wedding!” She beamed excitedly.

Frank has to slow down the car because the bride and groom had just gone out of the church door, and their guests crowded the entrance. I scoffed, sneering at the happy scene outside but looking interestingly at the family and friends crowding the newlywed couple.

“Daddy, can you buy me a dress like that?” Olivia turned to our father, pointing at the beautiful wedding gown the bride was wearing. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Dad smiled sadly at her. “Of course, baby. Daddy would love to see you wearing that dress someday.”

Her round eyes blinked in excitement, but when my eyes met with Elenita, she avoided my gaze. We all know that medical treatment now can prolong Dad‘s life, but unless we find a cure for cancer, he may not be there at Olivia‘s wedding. When he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, our hopes were high that he

could live longer like those we knew who had it, but his case was already in stage 3. Although we had the resources and the money for his treatment, he knew his time was limited.

“They look very happy,” Dad murmured, still staring at the couple. Frank successfully droves past the crowd and glances at me quickly. “Where to, Sky?” I groaned, thinking I must have gone crazy. The bride looked like Angela, but she was not her. I see her in all women that I even kissed a deaf university student two months ago, thinking it was her after she asked for a kiss for her birthday.

“To the airport.” I heaved a deep sigh as I said my decision. We will be staying in the US for a while for a new project expansion I have and for Dad to focus on his treatment. “What about Finn?” Elenita suddenly blurted out the question, causing Dad to look at me. “You know that he doesn’t talk to me, Elenita, but Frank will be following us,” I turned to my loyal driver, who accepted my offer to be my personal secretary after his graduation.

I don‘t want to bother Catherine following me around in any countries I go to, and she is thankful for my decision because she wants more time for her family.

“Make sure to bring Finn with you, Frank,” I told him as if reminding him not to forget a thing, not a person who could decide for himself whether he would want to go or not.

Frank was about to steer the car away from Heaven Avenue when he slowed down again after hearing me clear my throat. He glanced at me, waiting for me to say something. I took a deep breath as I looked outside the street, seeing two teenagers laughing while walking on the pavement. “Are you sure you met all the Angelas working in this area?” “Yep,” he answered as he continued driving. “I even met girls with names Angelica, Angelou, Angel – ”

“Just a yes or no, Frank,” I said impatiently, cutting him. “He was just being thorough,” Dad chuckled, and I hated that he was finding humor in my situation now.

Frank hit the brake to stop at the pedestrian lane, and we all stared at the pregnant woman crossing the street. I sighed as she nodded, smiling apologetically at us as she crossed. “She must be giving birth anytime soon,” Elenita said, guessing from the roundness of her belly as we all watched her touching her tummy as she walked.

Frank drives again and glances at me like he wants to ask a question, but he knows he can‘t do it without me permitting him to say his opinion.

“Say it, Frank,” I said while my eyes focused on the tablet to read the report Catherine had just sent in my email.

He cleared his throat. “I‘m sorry, Sky, but I can‘t help thinking, what if she gets pregnant?”

My heart stopped beating because I had never thought of it, not until now. I pretended to ignore him, but I could hardly understand what I was reading now because my thoughts were on the idea that there was a possibility it could happen. Angela and I never used protection after we jumped at each other‘s bones for two nights. “Are you worried she might get pregnant?” Dad glanced at me, but I shook my head. “You‘re the one who told me she‘s not existing,” I said, sighing as I showed him I was focusing on what I was reading for him not to bother me anymore. “I said what if, sky. What if she doesn‘t exist, not that she doesn‘t really exist,” He explained.” Are you even sure you‘re looking for the right name? It might not be her real name,” he continued.

“Or heaven must have really messed up with me, Dad,” I murmured in annoyance, but he only smirked at me. “Can angels have babies?” Olivia sat upright as she asked, looking at Elenita, but when she ignored her, she pressed her forehead again on the car window. “Oh! There‘s Angela!” She raised her hand, pointing her finger at the two young women and a man getting into a convenience store. I had not caught a glimpse of their faces, but I had enough of her. This is the last time I will look for Angela. And after today, I will forget about her... wishing I could really forget her.
