Chapter 182
Four or Dead
She told me I was her first. She even acted like a scared virgin during our first time. How the fuck did I let myself be manipulated by her? All the time she was with me, she was fucking Jason and his friends while telling him about Alekos's family. She is a lying whore. Even after her 'death, she kept spying on Alekos, and she is the reason why Nikolas was caught off guard the day Carlos killed him
All the fucking love I have for her turns into ashes, and if not for being in a hospital, I would have killed her with my own hands. I want to break everything around me, but somehow, I manage to remain calm
If I look at Angel's folder, will I find something similar? Is she a fucking lying whore, just like Emily? No wonder I didn't trust her
My hands shake as I open Angel's folder
I don't bother looking at the photos and start watching the videos
The first one is of her in a hospital bed. She is a child, maybe ten? Probably taken after the accident in which her mother died. She looks at the camera with empty eyes. The following are of her crying, playing, or reading in her room. She is mostly alone, and on rare occasions, a nanny is with her. Then, videos of her in the facility, lots of tests done on her. Then of her as a teenager-again alone in her room. The day she graduated high school, crying on her bed. That is the last video of her
I read the report on her and learn that the tests performed on her were
to determine if she was a hellstar or not. Results-inconclusive. The reason why there are no more videos of Angel is because Luis Hernandez and Carlos came to an agreement regarding her future. Since she was to be Carlos' future wife, it wasn't appropriate for him to spy on her. While Carlos kept his word and removed all the hidden cameras from her room, he kept a close eye on her, especially after he started to suspect her of being part of the most mysterious women's society called the Sisterhood. It was formed five hundred years ago by hellstars, and no matter how hard the Lords or the Dukes tried, they never found its location or the women who were part of it. It was thought that it's
existence ended two hundred years ago, but I see that's not the case
If Angel is part of it-
The phone slips from my hands and falls on the floor
-how many more hellstars are out there?
Angel is a hellstar. And I left her in the hands of the Dukes to save Emily. God! I made a huge mistake. I have to tell Alekos. No. No. He and Reyes will fucking kill me. No one can know about what I did
When Alekos finally makes it to the hospital, I am calm and collected, the hatred I now harbor for Emily hidden behind a mask of worry
"Any luck finding Angel?" I pretend to be worried about her. Or maybe I am worried about her? I feel like my head is spinning. First I need to take care of Emily so I can concentrate on other things
"Not yet. But I am sure she will appear sooner or later. What about
Emily?"© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"She was taken to the recovery room and is being monitored until the anesthesia's effects wear off. A nurse will let us know when we can see her."
His phone rings. "I have to take this. It's Reyes."
While Alekos is talking with Reyes, a doctor comes to tell me I can see Emily. I go to her. Seeing her in bed, all sorts of machines connected to her, has me hate her even more. She still looks a little groggy, but I want this discussion done and over with
She smiles at me, and all I want to do is yell
"Stefan, mein Liebe," her hand reaches out for me
My love? I am not her love. I was never her love. I was the other one
The idiot that fell for her charms
"Touch me, and I will break every bone in your body." Her eyes widen, her hand drops on the bed. "Stefan, what's wrong?"
"T know everything," I snarl. She tries to say something, but I don't let her, as I keep speaking, "About Jason and you. About you gathering information about Alekos and Nikolas. I won't kill you this time, but if we ever cross paths again, I won't be so forgiving. I will pay the hospital
bills." I take a credit card from my wallet. "There is enough cash on it to get you out of the city and start a new life far away from here."
"Stefan, let me explain."
"There is nothing to explain. I saw videos of you and Jason talking, plotting how to bring down the Raptou family. I watched video after video of you fucking him. I regret ever knowing and loving you."
She starts crying. Probably fake tears because she was caught. "That was in the beginning, but I swear I fell in love with you. That's why Jason gave me to Azael a year ago because I was about to come to you and tell you everything. I wanted
to tell you the truth five years ago when I realized that Jason was only using me, and I started having feelings for you, but Jason blackmailed me and faked my death with the help of Carlos and kept me locked in his house."
"Lies, lies, and more lies." She shakes her head. "You should have died during the operation," I say before leaving
Alekos is still in the waiting room, but I need to get out of here and clear my head before I do something I will regret-like killing that fucking lying bitch
"We are done here," I tell Alekos
"And Emily?"
"T was wrong, it's not her."
Alekos narrows his eyes. "If not for Angel missing, you and I would have a serious talk about what the fuck is going on with you. You have been acting strange for a while now. It is time to get your shit together
Especially since we found our hellstar, and she needs us."

"T will do that," I promise. "I might go to the cabin for a few days." "Reyes and I need you to help us find Angel."
"T will help when I return."
Alekos is clearly not happy but does not insist
We leave the hospital
The cabin is up in the mountains, and a few days alone will help me deal with all the rage I feel. My car is parked in front of the Alane Tech Company, and I have a taxi take me there. Once inside my car, I leave the city behind
It is noon when I finally reach the cabin. I get inside, change my clothes, grab my hunting gear, and disappear into the forest. For days, I survive on what I fish or kill and sleep in a tent. When I make it back to the cabin, Alekos and Reyes are waiting for me. They look like shit
"What's going on?" I ask
Reyes throws me his phone. "Watch the videos," he snarls
They are of Angel in the hands of Carlos. I watch everything that is
done to her, and when she is beaten with a leather paddle, and she screams our names, my name, I break down crying and tell Alekos and Reyes everything
When I am done telling them what I have done, Reyes takes out a knife
"T am going to kill you."
