Angelica (the golden beauty)
chapter five.

JAMES.

It's only been hours and I feel as though am going crazy. I knew I lost my golden beauty the moment he had her in his arms. I stood in my room with half a bottle of whiskey and the other half successfully making a home in my belly.

I lost the only thing that made me happy. The way her silver eyes would shine whenever she learnt something new. Or the way her nose scrunched up whenever she smelt something unpleasant. I missed the melodious sound of her laughter. And the way she would look at Catalina with so much love in her eyes, I secretly wished she would one day look at me with such love but I highly doubt any of that is going to happen. That thought alone had me breaking the vace nearest to me.

I sat on the floor and brought the bottle to my lips gulping a large amount hoping I'd get drunk and forget the conversation I had with Diego.

He made it clear that she is not coming back to the hotel,I lost my beauty forever. I've known Diego for more than half of our lives to know he's only protective and possessive of the things and people he likes.
Especially when it comes to women,he neither held anyone the way he held her let alone bring a woman to his mansion. The thought of never seeing her again brought more pain to my heart I took another swig of the whiskey as the thought of never getting to see my golden beauty broke me in half.

I sat on the floor staring into an empty space with a now empty bottle of whiskey which should have done it's job at making me forget Angelica but nothing could ever make me forget her. Never in my life have I felt so torn and lonely, I was stuck between the guy (my brother) who changed my life and made sure I lived in luxury or taking a chance at love, making sure I give my golden beauty the best life she could ever have. a tear escaped from my eyes and I knew in that moment that I'll never be the same man I was.

Author's note.

sorry this chapter is so short but who do you think James's loyalty lies with his friend (brother)or the woman he's grown to love???🤭
