Chapter: QueenI glare at the thief who dared to steal her core. He panics and trips over in his haste to walk a little farther away from me.He should be scared. He dared to steal from her? I was angry when he took her away when she was little.I was looking for her all over the world, only to know that he hid her away from me.I excused him then because it was for her good. But this? A core is their identity. It defines the ability of the person involved.But he shifted into himself leaving my Angel vulnerable.

You cannot take her away from me. I just got her back. Please take me away as well" I cry with pain.I just got her back, he cannot be so cruel and take her away from me. Please Angel come back to me.I press on her chest to help her breathe. I blow air into her mouth."Please Angel, this time I cannot live without you. Please come back" I whisper broken.Everyone surrounding us gasp, looking at my anguished self.I continue pressing her chest and give her air through her mouth. After what felt like an eternity, which is only a few minutes she takes a deep breath.She coughs through the sudden intake of air and then settle down a bit."Thank god she is breathing," Max says with a sigh of relief."Why is she not opening her eyes," Melanie asks panicked.

Chapter: Missing him a little I haven't seen him for the past two days. I saw him the day before yesterday when we had our dinner together."Why are you looking there" Beth sits on the chair opposite mine with a huff.I am sitting on the lawn and I was looking at Jace's penthouse. It seems to be empty."Looking where" I act ignorant."Don't play that card with me. You were staring at his penthouse for the past half an hour. What's the matter. Missing certain someone" she wiggles her eyebrows playfully."Shut up" I glare at her, which she doesn't seem to mind."Accept it" she pokes me with her index finger."I am not missing anyone" I mutter.I miss him. But I am not about to agree it in front of her. She knows I don't care about anyone this much. Not to the extent where I miss them if I don't see them just for a day."If you say so," she says with a knowing look in her eyes.He always used to check on me at least twice a day. But for the past two

After the issue earlier, gossip or that guy, whatever it, news about me traveled fast.Not even a single guy is looking my way. They are giving us a wide berth. No catcalls from guys and no bitchy comments from girls. But I notice few girls glaring at me and a few smiles and waves."That you are her bodyguard? Nope. We thought you are his girlfriend" Beth replies.Natalie laughs, she laughs so hard tears roll down her cheeks. She calms down considerably after some time and wipes her eyes."Have you looked at that man? He barely notices any of us. The only female who keeps his attention fixed on her for more than a second is Chloe. If I don't know about her phobia I would have thought she liked him too, going by the dirty looks she keeps giving me since the moment we met" Natalie confess."I was not giving you dirty looks" I defend myself immediately."

Will you give up without a fight? won't you make your parents proud? I promise I will not let anyone touch you until and unless y
