Chapter 10 – Her Name Is Angela (Sky‘s POV)
I have never disappointed my father in my entire life, but when he saw me with a naked woman in my bedroom, his voice and looks could tell me I failed him for the first time. Panicking that Olivia saw us, I grabbed the quilt in a hurry from the woman I hardly remember, the name, not minding her naked and using it to cover half of my body, and when my sister called my dad, I could only stand up, grabbing my night robe.
“Have you lost your mind, Sky?” he asked angrily, pacing the floor. “What did I tell you about bringing a woman into this house?”
He threw the crumpled paper at me, and when I picked it up, I breathed out, trying to remember where I left my brain to make such a haste decision last night. My eyes darted slowly on my finger, checking and breathing hard when I saw the gold wedding band.
I thought it was a dream.
“Have you gone mad?” His voice roared in the study room. “You‘re the smart one! You‘re supposed to be responsible for your actions.” “Dad,” I breathed out. “I‘ll fix this right away.” I always believe that everything can be fixed. “Call that woman!” He said, now in a calm voice. He stopped pacing as he took his cell phone.“ I‘m calling the lawyer now.”
I nodded, turning my back on him to get her. Elenita was on her way to my bedroom, but she stopped in the middle of the hallway, just pressing her lips and shaking her head to tell me she would not interfere in this matter.
My stupid brain could recall vividly what had happened last night. Maybe I was too broken hearted with Lalaine leaving me, but I could not help thinking that I was also enchanted by the beautiful woman I was
with last night. She was not in the bedroom when I opened the door, but when I heard Olivia‘s voice, I found them in my closet room.
“Olivia, what are you doing?” I asked, horrified as I saw her. Not Olivia, but the woman I was with last night, looking like my pet panther crab in the aquarium, except her face now was covered with red dots and not black. Where was the beautiful woman?
“Adding red dots to her face?” She chuckled innocently at me.
I groaned, taking the red pen from her hand and grabbing the ugly woman‘s arm. If she did not stand alone, I would not mind dragging her out. She must have drugged me last night. “Follow me,” I hissed, releasing her arm. Olivia must have thought I was telling her that because she followed us as we left the bedroom, but Elenita stopped her, tugging her to the opposite side of the corridor, walking back to her room.
I heaved a deep sigh before opening the door, but she surprised me when she held her hand on my arm. “Sky, can I go home after this?” I glared at her, hoping she would just vanish with my look, hoping she did not meet my eyes
like the other women in the house
“Or can I at least use your phone?”
I remain silent because I promise myself this nightmare will be over before this day ends. She will be out of my sight, not caring if I have to pay her a hefty amount for my freedom.
I opened the door wide, only to be surprised. “Dad!” I found myself screaming when I saw my father lying unconsciously on the floor.” Elenita!” I shouted, panicking as my hand trembled while reaching for my phone to call the hospital. “Elenita!” I shouted again, watching the woman running toward my father.
I froze, my feet sticking to the ground as I could not move, only my eyes watching her.
“Mr. Mars, can you hear me?” I heard her calling him, but when he did not respond, she quickly checked on his head, making sure he did not suffer any injuries, then tilted his head.” Sky, don‘t just stand there. Help me,” she said in a calm voice, giving me an order. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
I watched her lower her head, putting her face near his cheek and checking on Dad. Elenita screamed, seeing us, and I could see my ‘wife‘ rolling her eyes at the situation. “Get those,” she instructed me, pointing at the throw pillows on the couch. I scrambled to my feet, took the cushions, and gave them to her.
She carefully placed my father‘s legs above the pillows and loosened his belt. Olivia was crying, and Elenita was still dialing the number of a hospital, but because she was panicking, she seemed to be getting the wrong number. “Geez! What‘s wrong with you people?” She hissed, snatching the phone from me and pressing the emergency number. I listened to her as she talked to the receiver of the call. “He‘s not breathing... Yes, I know how to do it. Just hurry. I‘ll do what I can. Here‘s the son. He‘ll give you the address.”
As I gave the details, she was reviving my father, doing CPR. She has a petite body, but she seemed to be trained at this, never stopping despite looking tired after giving all her strength to saving Dad. When she finally saw my father‘s chest rising and falling weakly, she breathed out in relief, but not leaving Dad‘s side.
“Help is on the way, Mr. Mars. You‘re gonna be alright,” she whispered as she checked on his pulse and breathing.
I knew the emergency personnel had arrived, but I felt it took forever for them to come. She only moved back when the response team took over. They carefully placed dad on a wheeled stretcher, and as the EMT put oxygen on Dad, the paramedic smiled at her.
“Good job, Angela!” she said, tousling her hair before turning to my father and talking to the phone before walking out of the bedroom to follow her team. Angela... I breathed out, finally remembering her name.
