The Angel's Dark Side
PROLOGUE
The sky's somber hues deepened, yet my eyes, once lost in darkness, now shone like two stars in the evening's vast expanse.
Alexander (14 years old)
It's time for him to come.
Alexander (14 years old)
*eyes drifted lazily in that direction*
There stood the angel, the only light I had ever truly felt, for the first time in my life.
Angel
Alex... *run towards him*
Alexander (14 years old)
💓💓💓
Alexander (14 years old)
*put his hand on his chest*
Alexander (14 years old)
Calm down, please. Don't embarass me infront of him.
I tried to control my racing heartbeats, but God, it escalated even more.
Alexander (14 years old)
Ahem...It's not my fault –it's his.
Alexander (14 years old)
How can he be so pretty?
But suddenly, the enchanting fantasy of love shattered, forcing me to face the unforgiving reality.
Alexander (14 years old)
*Looked at his shiny, beautiful appearance, and then he looked at his own poor, torn, old clothes*
Alexander (14 years old)
*chuckle sadly*
Alexander (14 years old)
There's a difference between heaven and earth.
Angel
*gently placed his hand on Alex's cheek*
Alexander (14 years old)
....
Angel
*pout* You look distracted. Is everything okay?
Alexander (14 years old)
...
Alexander (14 years old)
*flushed* 😳
Alexander (14 years old)
(H-he touched my cheek)
Alexander (14 years old)
Um... I'm totally fine, and It's for you.
Alexander (14 years old)
*shyly forwarded a handkerchief towards him*
Alexander (14 years old)
*looking down* Why isn't he saying anything?😣
Alexander (14 years old)
(I think he doesn't like it)
Alexander (14 years old)
(After all, this ugly handkerchief isn't worth much compared to those expensive gifts he got from others)
Alexander (14 years old)
*face fell, and he shrank into himself*
Angel
*suddenly hugged him*
Angel
This is so beautiful Alex!
Angel
It's the best birthday gift I could have asked for.
Angel
I'll cherish it forever. *squealed happily*
Alexander (14 years old)
*broke into a smile*
Alexander (14 years old)
I'm glad you liked it. *wrapped his arms around him in return*
The atmosphere was plunged into darkness, with no light to speak of.
There, a man in his thirties lay chained in iron ropes.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
Argh... My head is spinning!
Alexander Wellington [DA]
*sat up while clenching his head*
Suddenly, the door to room opened, and a hulking figure filled the frame.
Maverick Lancaster [E]
Ah, you're already awake!
Maverick Lancaster [E]
Not fair! I wanted to wake you up with morning kisses. *caress his cheek*
Alexander Wellington [DA]
*pushed his hand away*
Maverick Lancaster [E]
.....
Alexander Wellington [DA]
Stop messing around and untie me now!
Alexander Wellington [DA]
I've had enough of your sick games. *cold*
Maverick Lancaster [E]
*didn't heard*
Maverick Lancaster [E]
*still looking at his hand*
A dark turbulent emotion swirling in his eyes.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
*frown*
Alexander Wellington [DA]
(What the hell, he is ignoring me now)
Alexander Wellington [DA]
Maverick....
Maverick Lancaster [E]
*suddenly, pinned him on the bed*
Maverick Lancaster [E]
Forget about leaving love. You're not going anywhere.
Maverick Lancaster [E]
I'll never untie you~
*A sinister grin spread across his face*
CHAPTER-1
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*sipping his wine silently*
Alexander Wellington [DA]
*smile* So? How is it?
Alexander Wellington [DA]
Do you like the wine?
Alexander Wellington [DA]
I brought it specially for you from Spain.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*look at him*
Alexander Wellington [DA]
*eyes full of hope, waiting for praise*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
tsk, Not bad!
Silas Lancaster [DO]
But it would've been more wonderful if the musicians were playing violins instead of a piano.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
Oh! You should've told me.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
I'll call the violinist right away.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
No need.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
The mood's already ruined.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
What difference would it make now?
Alexander Wellington [DA]
*eyes dimmed slightly* Oh... sorry.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
Next time I'll–
Silas Lancaster [DO]
You don't have to do these things anymore.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
After all... we're going to get married.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
But I was just trying to make you feel special.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
You don't need to try.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
I already am special !
He stood up, coldly collecting his coat.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
So, if this is all... I'm leaving.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
...
And without even a good bye, Silas walked out.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
*staring at his back*
CHAPTER-2
Silas's figure disappeared through the doors.
Leaving behind the echo of expensive footsteps and a stunned silence.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
He didn't even look back.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
*sigh*
Alexander Wellington [DA]
Before he'd cling to me like I was his whole world.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
Hug me so tight I could barely breath.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
But now... it's like I'm the one clinging to a ghost.
His voice cracked slightly.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
*eyes clouded with grief*
Alexander Wellington [DA]
It's like, I'm dating a stranger?
Alexander Wellington [DA]
Like he's not my angel anymore...
Alexander Wellington [DA]
But someone else entirely.
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
What? You're back already?
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
Don't you have a date with Alex?
Silas Lancaster [DO]
It was. *tossed his coat aside*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
But I'm not some joker meant to entertain him, so I left.
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
*frown*
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
Silas... why would you do that?
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
What if he cancels the wedding?
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*smirk* Uff, Dad don't worry.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
He won't.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
After all, he's head over heels for me.
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
*glares*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Ugh, not the 'threatening dad stare' again?
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Can we skip this part? I'm starving.
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
*sighs deeply*
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
Sometimes, I seriously wonder how Alex even fall for you.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*grinning proudly*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Obviously, because I'm the most beautiful being to ever exist. *flips his hair*
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
(눈‸눈)
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*offended*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
What's with that face now?
Silas Lancaster [DO]
You know I'm only doing all this because of you.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*plopped onto the couch*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
For that stupid plan, I have to hang out with that freak all the time.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
And instead of praising my patience and charm, you're giving me that look.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
I'm so hurt! *dramatically*
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
(Not this again)
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
*sighs and stand up*
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
Okay, now go and wash your hands.
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
I'll tell the maids to start serving dinner.
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
And yes, bring your brother down too.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*groan* Dad, do I really have to go get that weirdo myself?
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Just tell the maid, she'll do it.
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
Silas!!
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Alright, alright! I'm going....
Silas Lancaster [DO]
(Bossy, as always...)
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*knocking lazily on the door*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Maverick, are you there?
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*frowns*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
What's that weirdo doing now?
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Probably painting his non-existent prince again...
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*mutters under his breath with a sarcastic scoff*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
God, he's so stupid!
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Seriously, how can anyone wait for a person who doesn't even exist?
He knocks again, louder this time.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Hey! If you are done with that rubbish, come out already.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Dad's calling for dinner.
Inside the room, soft golden light spills from a desk lamp.
The scent of oil paint lingers in the air.
Maverick sits quietly, eyes lost in a painting of a faceless man with warm eyes and half-smile.
His brush lies forgotten.
Fingers gently trace the figure's jawline on the canvas.
Maverick Lancaster [Beta]
Where are you..?
Maverick Lancaster [Beta]
How long are you going to make me wait?
His eyes flickered to the handkerchief tied around his neck.
Maverick Lancaster [Beta]
*touches it*
Maverick Lancaster [Beta]
You know I'm missing you so much...
