Chapter 780 - 780 You Are Despicable



Hence, Angelica was left traumatized when she heard a whizzing sound, and the next Daniel was knocked to his ass by the impact, bringing the both of them down.

There was instant chaos when the bullet went off as people ran helter-skelter for safety while Daniel’s guards formed a protective barrier around him, their guns out and ready to fire at the assailant.

“Daniel!” Angelica’s lips trembled as she shook him, trying to wake him up. This was the first time that she saw such a shocking scene – staring death in the face – and was shaken. As annoying as her encounter with Daniel had been, she didn’t wish him death – even though many others certainly wish him that.

“Please don’t die,” Tears stung her eyes, blurring her sight so she was unable to notice that for someone shot in the chest, he was not bleeding. She buried her face in his body and sobbed until she heard someone cough weakly,

“What makes you think that I would leave easily when I told you that I’m not done with you?” He asked with a tired tone.

Angelica stiffened.

She then lifted her face slowly, her eyes full of hope as they connected with Daniel’s, and her heart leaped in joy. He was alive.

“Oh, thank God!” Angelica breathed in relief, hugging him straightaway only for a pained groan to leave Daniel’s lips. It then hit her that she had no idea how he survived this and looked down at his body to see the bullet on the floor.

.....

It couldn’t be what she was thinking, right?

Before Daniel could stop her from touching him, Angelica already opened his top two buttons and revealed the concealed armor t-shirt he was wearing under his shirt. It was made of ultra-lightweight materials, no wonder she hadn’t been able to spot it.

“If our position was reversed, this move would be seen as sexual harassment. Such prejudice against men,” Daniel had the nerve to joke around amid the pain distorting his features.

“Shut up and tell me where you are hurt!” Angelica tried to pull his shirt up but Daniel grabbed her hand and stopped her.

“For someone who hated my ass minutes ago, you seem so eager to save my life, what changed? Why would you put yourself in danger for me?” He asked her seriously, his grip on her hand tightening without even noticing it.

Angelica thought about it and she merely shrugged, “I don’t know, it just seemed like the right thing to do at that moment.”

“Hmmm, the hero complex then. I’m beginning to see the similarities between you and your daughter. Adele is always ready to save the day, much like my son, Marcel.” He said with a bit of disdain in his tone. What was the use of saving people who would only end up being a thorn in your side?

Hearing Daniel call her daughter’s name again was the reminder Angelica needed to know the man she had become comfortable with was of no good. He was dangerous and shouldn’t communicate with him.

“What do you want with my daughter?” Angelica’s gaze became cold and distant, all joviality leaving her voice. She was crouched down in front of Daniel who was still on the floor without giving a care that people were slowly returning after the pandemonium.

“You are like a mother hen fiercely protecting her chick and I just ruffled your feathers,” Daniel was amused.

He told her, “Don’t worry, I mean your daughter no harm, yet. She still has much use for my son at the moment.”

Angelica was bewildered by that statement, what kind of human being was this? He just threatened her daughter right in front of her without blinking an eye. She was worried and intrigued at the same time.

“However, I hate being kept in the dark. You don’t how much damage a single loophole could wreck on my plans.” Daniel looked at her, reaching out to caress her face, and her heart skipped a beat.

Strange.

“So tell me….” Daniel continued, “What has your daughter been up to something lately?”

Angelica didn’t answer straight away, rather she leaned closer to Daniel to the point their breaths were exchanging and it almost looked like they were making out in public. The air around them became heated, and she bit on her lower lips. A gesture Daniel noticed because the shivers shot straight to his dick and he was in danger of an erection even though he didn’t show it.

Just when it looked like she was about to kiss him, Angelica turned her face and whispered into his ear,

“You are despicable.”

Then she pushed him away, hitting that spot where it hurt the most and he groaned in pain, lying back entirely on the floor.

“I’ll end your life if you dare come near my daughter.” Angelica threatened him with fire in her eyes. She didn’t care who he was or what he could do, but she would protect Adele with her life. Perhaps, she should report this to Benjamin before it was too late. Her instinct was warning her off this man – no matter how attractive he was.

Shut up!

Angelica stifled her hormones from speaking.

Having made her point known, Angelica was ready to leave until she remembered she had no phone nor transport money.

Damn that asshole.

With a great deal of aggravation, Angelica stormed back to where Daniel lay on the ground and searched through his pocket neither did he stop her. If anything, Daniel began to laugh. He laughed so hysterical that even Angelica began to consider he had lost his damn mind. If only she knew why he was laughing.

Not only does she dare to threaten him, but she also robs him in broad daylight at the same time. Daniel just found it hilarious. He, of all people. Others tremble at his name, but The woman didn’t fear him or perhaps, she just doesn’t know who he was.

“That’s enough for my transport,” Angelica took the cash from his wallet and tossed it to his body, saying, “Next time, don’t drag me out with nothing.”

Honestly speaking, Angelica had no clue what gave her the courage to speak to him like that. But then, his annoying attitude unlocked the inner bitch in her. She was simply sick and tired of people seeing her as soft and weak.

“I’m looking to that next time.” Daniel chuckled with a glint in his eyes Angelica took no notice of it because she left right away.

The amusement in Daniel’s eyes died off as he commanded his men, his tone utterly different from when he was so speaking to Angelica.

“What are you waiting for?”

He gave one of them his hand and was helped up to his feet. Daniel groaned in pain because while the vest may have offered protection against projectile penetration and fatal wounds, the kinetic energy of the bullet still hurt him.

Being shot by a 9mm handgun from close range while wearing soft armor was like being hit in the chest by a sledgehammer. He felt knocked over and winded, not to mention that breathing was hard and Daniel had a feeling that he had broken ribs.

And that was confirmed when he got into his car and was able to see the nasty bruise on his side. His ego was bruised as well.

“Find out who attempted that attack on my life and make sure he doesn’t see the sun go down. Failure to do so, you would take his place.” Daniel commanded his second in command who broke out in cold sweat.

“Yes, boss,” He said nonetheless, hiding his nervousness.

“Also,” Daniel remembered, “Did you find out anything about her.”

And yes, Daniel was talking about the fact that he had his people search Angelica’s house while he was out there with her.

“They stumbled upon a written note with a doctor’s address on it.”

“Doctor’s address?” Daniel had a furrow on his face. “Find out everything you can about it.”

“Yes, boss.”

“Now take me back to the base to recuperate.” Daniel leaned back into the seat. Unlike the others – to be precise, his weak son – he knows how to separate pleasure from work.
