Chapter 154 Fresh Start
Bryce returned to the room, and Angela was awake.
"How was your sleep?" Bryce asked.
"I am fine. It's only 6 a.m. Why are you up so early? It's Saturday. You should be in bed resting, looking at what happened last night," Angela said, sitting on the bed while Bryce stood before the closed bathroom door.
"I am fine," Bryce said, climbing back into bed. How are you and our child doing?" he asked.
"We are good," Angela replied, earning a peck on her forehead from Bryce.
Angela smiled, and Bryce planted a light kiss on her lips, and she giggled.
"Angela," Bryce called out her name and rested his back on the bed headboard. "Please come," he said, opening his arms for Angela.
As Angela approached, Bryce held her hand in his. Angela folded her legs under herself and stared at Bryce.
"Angela, I know I have been terrible towards you. I abandoned you when you needed me the most, and I believed in the lies that were said about you. I am sorry. Forgive me for calling our child a bastard. Deep down in my heart, I knew I was doing something wrong, but I trusted the evidence before me. I am sorry," Bryce apologised.
"It's okay, Bryce. I can understand. It was your mother and Sister who died. I can understand the pain you were going through. I swear to you, I knew nothing about your sister's death and that of your mother," Angela said. "Your sister came to see me, and we spoke at length. She is a very nice person. I saw sense in what she was telling me. You cared, and I left without giving you any reason," she explained. "I agreed to give you a call, and Elena left. I later went to the balcony, and that was when I saw Elena lying motionless on the ground outside. I hurried downstairs and went outside to where I saw her. She was lying in a pool of blood. I started feeling dizzy," she narrated, her eyes were quickly filled with tears.
"I am sorry you had to go through that," Bryce said and pulled her into his arms.
"About your mum. I never even met her. I was in a cabin somewhere. The police came to arrest me, claiming I killed Mrs Patricia," Angela said.
"I am sorry, Angela," Bryce said and planted a kiss on the top of her head as he rubbed her shoulder to calm her.
"I didn't do it. I have no hand in it," Angela said in tears, her voice trembling.
"I know," Bryce said. "Eva confessed to committing the crime," he said. "I know she didn't do it alone. I would soon all those she committed the crime with," he assured her and rubbed her shoulders.
Bryce held Angela by the shoulder after wiping her tears away. He stared into her eyes, and all he read was the pain.
"I love you, Angela. I never stopped. Can we have a fresh start and put everything behind us?" Bryce asked, staring lovingly at Angela while resting on his elbow. "I promise you, I am going to protect you for the rest of my life," he assured.
"I never stopped loving you," Angela said, and Bryce's heart was filled with joy.
He suddenly felt complete. He leaned in and kissed Angela. Angela wrapped her arms around Bryce and kissed him back.
"You are pregnant," Bryce said when he felt they were going too far in Angela's condition.
"I will be fine. I miss you," Angela said, urging him on.
"I don't know if that is safe," Bryce complained.
"I would be fine," Angela said and kissed Bryce.
Bryce gently lay her on her back while kissing her. Angela had her arms wrapped around his neck. Bryce's hand travelled down her side, and he felt her belly. He flipped her over, bringing her to the top. He didn't want to lie on top of her because her belly already looked like she was too full.
Angela felt warmth in her heart knowing Bryce truly loved her. The two found themselves lost in a long, passionate moment. It felt like ages since they were last together. Soft moans escaped Angela's lips as she sat on Bryce, rocking her body with Bryce's hand holding her waist and aiding her. Bryce had his eyes closed, enjoying every moment, hearing her soft moans and the feel of her hand on his chest.
In another room, Zora was already up watching TV. She was glad everything worked out for good, and Bryce and Angela are now back together.
The day appears to be starting very well. No one was aware of the danger ahead.
