CARL'S POV
"Boss we are here." The driver said stopping the car in front of a house.
"What do we plan to do boss?" Aiden asked.
"Kill him." I said looking at the house.
We came out of the car and walked towards Robert Johnson's house.
I had a weird feeling in me like something was going to happen.
Something good maybe.
I rang the doorbell of the house.
It was still morning so I guess Robert is home.
No body opened the door.
Irritated I was going to knock on the door when suddenly it opened and a girl probably 18 or 19 stood in front of me.
She checked me out shamelessly and licked her lips.
She twirled a strand of hairs trying to be seductive. Key word:trying.
She looked nothing more than disgusting.
"How may I help you?" She said battling her eyelashes.
"Where is Robert?" I asked giving her a cold look.
"Papa is in taking bath. Until then I can help you." She said biting her lips.
"I don't entertain whores" I said before pushing her from my way and barging in the house.
"Hey stop!" She said but she was pushed aside by my men who entered the house.
I saw a woman siting on the couch who stood up immediately when she saw me.
She probably knew who I am unlike her daughter because she was shaking in fear.
"Mr.Smith. p-please h-have a seat." She said gesturing to the couch.
"Tina go bring him water and snacks." She said to the girl who opened the door for me.
"Huh, why me? Tell that bitch Emma to do it. She is the maid." Tina said in a rude tone.
"I am not here for your stupid snacks. Where is Robert?" I asked in gritted teeth.
Just then a man came outside frpm what looks like bathroom. He was in his bath coat.
His expression changed when he saw me.
He was sweating and shaking badly.
"Mr. Smith what a pleasant surprise. Please sit." He said trying to act calm.
"No. I am here to take my money. Do you have it?" I asked.
He gulped.
"I-I don't have..but I will give it to you surely in 2 months. Please Mr.Smith." he said.
"2 months? You think I am a fool? I know you are having connections with my rivals. You fucker what did you think while cheating me? You thought I will leave you like this? No. I am here to kill you." I said and pulled out my gun and pointed it on his forehead.
Just when I was going to shoot I heard a gasp and I turned my face to the side to see a young girl looking at me with horrified expression.
She was so beautiful. She was the most beautiful and innocent looking girl I had ever seen. She looks so fragile. Her eyes were so beautiful and sparkling. Her small lips look tempting waiting for me to devour them. She is so small. But she is an angel. My angel. No! What am I even thinking? I can't feel this way.
I felt something in my chest. My heart?
I felt it. I felt it beating for the first time. I felt an emotion. I felt the urge to take her in my arms and protect her from this cruel world. She looks too pure to be in this cruel world.
"Please don't kill me" a dirty voice shifted my attention from my angel to the bastard Robert. Did I just call her My angel? I ignored my thoughts.
He was pleading me.
Who was he to the angel?
Her father?
But they don't look any same.
I walked towards my angel while taking my hand with the gun back to my side.
As I took a step towards her she took a step back in fear.
She was afraid of me.
My angel was afraid of me.
"Hey angel please dont be scared. I will not hurt you. Please" IÂ said in the softest voice ever.
I could imagine the shock on the faces of my men.
She looked at me with her doe like eyes.
I raised a hand to caress her face when she flinched.
She thought I will slap her.
Why?
Did anyone hurt her?
I will kill that fucker!
I caressed her soft cheeks just then I noticed a bruise formed on her cheek. It was a handprint. Someone had slapped her. Dried blood was there on the corner of her lips.
She looked very skinny and thin. Wasn't she eating anything?
My blood boiled at the thought of her getting hurt and starving.
"Who hurt you?"
She looked back at Robert and then looked down scared to speak.
"Robert hurt you, didn't he?" I asked.
A tear escaped her eyes.
I wiped the tear with my thumb.
I turned around to look at Robert who was glaring at my angel.
"You hurt her. You hurt MY angel!" I shouted before shooting him in his leg.
He fell down holding his leg.
His wife and the girl Tina ran to him.
"I will not kill you like this. I will torture you. You will beg me for death." I said.
"Take him with us." I said to my men who dragged him out.
"No! Please don't do this. We will pay you the money." The wife said.
"Its not about money. Its sbout her! He hurt her and he will pay!" I said pointing my finger to my angel.
"Her? She is a worthless piece of shit. Why are you killing my father because of this bitch?"
Tina spat.
In a second I pinned her to a nearby wall with my hand chocking her.
"Don't you dare say anything about her! She is mine! She is my angel! And I will kill each and every fucking person who hurts her." I yelled at her.
I left her throat and turned to my angel who was looking at me with shock and confusion. She looked so cute with a little pout on her lips. I want to taste it.
It was the first time I was calling someone cute. I would rather say hot or sexy but angel was different.
I walked towards her crouched down to her level. She was so short.
"What is your name angel?" I asked.
"E..Emma" she said looking down.
"Emma.." I said her name. It felt so good when I said it. Her name was beautiful just like her.
"Emma, Is this your family?" I asked.
"F..foster" she said.
So they are her foster parents and they are hurting her.
"Would you like to come with me angel? I will keep you safe. I promise." I said looking at her with hope.
She nodded slowly still looking down.
I smiled at her before scooping her in my arms bridal style.
She squealed making me chuckle.
She was so light in weight. She weighed nothing. Anybody could carry her easily. But only I would carry her. She is mine to touch.
She wrapped her tiny arms around my neck.
I walked out of the house with her.
My men looked at us with shock. They have never seen me care for someone.
I sat with her in my car. I held her in my arms and made her sit on my lap.
I am taking her home. Our home.
She is My angel. My innocent angel.
