Dante's POV
From that day on, we became a couple. There was still 2 weeks before they return to New York so we spent a lot of time together. Blair intentionally busied herself to something just to give us time alone.
We even went to the zoo, to the aquarium, to cinema and sometimes we just spent time at the park. Just simple things like eating ice cream or playing basketball or volleyball. She was a sweet girl and that made me love her more.
Our relationship was going well but sometimes I felt like I didn't fit to be with a pretty girl like her.
Whenever we were together, people were always staring at us curiously or amusedly. Maybe they were wondering what I made her eat to be with me. Others were even laughing at me openly like they were the most attractive human being on the face of the earth.
"Angel eyes, what do you like about me?" I randomly asked her while we were in my room watching a movie. She looked at me with a frown.
"Why do you ask?"
"Because I want to know. People are wondering why you chose me as your boyfriend even though I look like this" She stood up all of a sudden from the bed and she looked mad.
"Don't even say that to yourself! I chose you because I love you. Just ignore other people.
Promise me to never look down on yourself again" I pulled her back to the bed and kissed her. Even though she's mad, she looked so beautiful.
She made me happy of what she just said.
"Thank you Angel eyes. I promise you" I said and kissed her again.
She encircled her arms around my neck and responded wildly. We both moaned at the intensity of our kiss as I gently massaged her breasts.
My control broke and was about to undress her when we heard a knock at the door. I cursed under my breath.
"Come in" I shouted to the person.
Blair entered the room with a big grin on her lips.
"Did I interrupt you guys?" She asked teasingly that made Cassia blush.
"Of course not. Anyway, what brings you here?" I asked her and paused the movie we were watching. She suddenly became serious and sat on the bed next to Cassia.
"I just want to call Cassia home. Her parents are here" Cassia's face became pale.
"Why are they here?" I curiously asked but Blair shrugged her shoulders while Cassia didn't say anything.
"I need to go" She stood up.
"Is everything okay baby?" I asked in concern. She looked so worried and I didn't understand why.
"Yes. We need to go. I'll call you tonight" She said and leaned over to give me a peck on the lips.
That call she told me about never happened as when the night time came, she didn't call me. I tried contacting her phone but it was out of service. 2 more days passed and I never heard about Cassia nor Blair so I decided to go to Blair's house.
I pressed the doorbell button and waited for someone to open the gate. Then a maid approached me.
"Yes? Do you need anything?" She asked me with disgust while staring at my face.
"I just want to talk to Cassia"
"No. it's not possible. They're busy packing right now because they will go back to New York this evening" She said and was about to go back when I talked.
"Please, tell her it's Dante. I need to talk to her" Her eyes squinted in irritation
"I already told you no! Just go away okay?!" She said curtly and went back inside the house. I raked my fingers through my hair in frustration. She said Cassia would go back to New York this evening so I got desperate. I grabbed the grills of the gate and shook it furiously as I shouted for Cassia.
"Cassia! Please talk to me!" I shouted again and again until a man in his 40s came and he looked so pissed off at me.
"If you're not going to leave right now, I will call the police!" He threatened me but I didn't let him intimidate me.
"Sir, I'm just here to talk to Cassia"
"I told you to leave! My daughter doesn't have a business with a monster like you" he spat at me with venom in his voice.
"Sir, I love your daughter more than anyone.
Please, I just need 5 minutes" He cursed at me before he opened the gate and went directly to me, punching my stomach. Then I heard someone screamed. I looked in the house and I saw Cassia running towards me. She hugged me tightly as she cried.
"Dad stop it! I love him" she pleaded her father but he just slapped her. I saw Cassia's lips with blood because of the impact. Anger blinded me and before I could think rationally, I attacked her father and pushed him to the ground. I had the upper hand because I was taller and my body was more muscular than him. We exchange punches until Blair's parents came to stop us. When they managed to separate us, we already had blood on our faces. Cassia was crying and tried to come closer to me but her father spoke.
"Don't even think of approaching that man Cassia.
I'm warning you!" He threatened as he wiped the blood from his lips while his gaze throwing daggers at me.
"You, never talk to my daughter again! She is a beautiful girl and I have a lot of plans for her future. Be ashamed of yourself! An ugly loser like you don't deserve to be with my daughter"
He said as he dragged Cassia inside the house. I tried to follow them seeing Cassia's looking at me as if asking for me to rescue her but Blair's parents stopped me.
"Dante don't. If you insist on being with her, you will just make her life miserable. Don't get me wrong, I know you're a good man but her father will do everything to make her daughter's life difficult if she continues to disobey him. Just wait for the right time and maybe then, you could be together freely"
Blair's father advised me then tapped my shoulder before closing the gate.
When I reached home, I went directly to my room.
Just as I managed to get out of the darkness I was in, they took my angel away from me. I lied flat on my bed as I was thinking of ways to contact Cassia.
I turned on my phone and stared to my home screen wallpaper which was our picture. Then suddenly it rang. It was Cassia.
"Hello Angel eyes! How are you? How did you manage to contact me without your father knowing?" I asked her but she didn't answer right away. I heard some strange whispering sound before she spoke with a broken voice.
"I-I just called to tell you to forget about me. We probably never meet each other again so this is for the best" She said. I gasped because of the sudden pain I felt in my heart of what she said.
"What are you talking about baby? We love each other and I am willing to do anything to fight for our love" I said determinedly. She stopped talking again for a while as she took a deep breath.
"I never loved you. I was just trying to experiment on how to have an older boyfriend and you re a convenient prey. Please forget about us and move on. Bye" The call was ended for at least 5 minutes already but I still couldn't believe of what she had told me. I felt betrayed and hurt but at the same time, there was a voice telling me that she was probably forced to say those things to me.
From that day on, I didn't see Cassia, my angel eyes, again. I tried searching for her but my parents stopped me. They told me to fix myself first before going after a girl.
