Sassy Angel’s Secret Sin

Chapter 85 - One Hell of a G(Anj's POV) Finn was drinking champagne as he sat comfortably in his seat.

Anya was busy taking pictures, and maybe before we reached our destination, she would be done covering all parts of the plane, with different poses in her camera except sitting on the pilot's seat while we were still on the flight.

Dylan pretended to be busy reading a magazine he found on the seat but constantly stole glances and checked on me. After that kiss on the Ferris Wheel, we never got the chance to talk again because, first off, | made sure | never stayed in one place alone with him, and second, | hardly went hto Aunt Rose‘s home.

My kids were on the bed, playing with Nitro, short for nitrogen, the nthey gave the puppy. The dog was a ‘she’, and the entire drive to the airport, they argued many times about what her nshould be. In the end, they settled on the largest chemical composition of the sky. When they finally had the name, there was a bit of argy-bargy on how she should be called. Since the puppy was a girl, they decided to call her Gen, but when they saw the nof the cabin crew with ‘Gen‘ written on her ntag, they changed the pet‘s nto Nitro.

And | am here, chewing on my cuticle the entire flight, sometimes picking up, then putting the phone back on the table, then doing it again. Maybe Sky wanted to surprise the children, and he would be there on the island waiting for me, | mean, for the kids.

| breathed out nervously. | am not expecting Sky. | am not hoping Sky will be there. I... | rose to my feet and walked to Gen.

“Tea, please,” | smiled apologetically at her.

She smiled gently, nodding at me. “I'll bring your tea to your seat, Ms. Perry,” she must have sensed | was nervous.

| nodded, walked back to my seat, and chewed on my fingernails again. She brought the tea shortly but included a small pack of dark chocolates. | raised my eyebrows, picking up the small package. “You can eat that later.

They said it's good to reduce anxiety,” she said. | nodded. “Yeah. So, | heard. It's a rich source of polyphenols, especially flavonoids,” | said and closed my eyes, opening the dark chocolates and putting one into my mouth instead of the tea. “Flavonoids might reduce cell death in the brain. It could also -”I opened my eyes and saw Gen looking atlike | was skind of talking book. “It could also improve blood flow,” | finished and smiled anxiously at her. “Just callif you need anything else, Ms. Perry,” She chuckled.

We reached our destination just before sunset, and it didn‘t surpriseanymore that the island had its own private airstrip for the plane. Another seven-seater car went to fetch us, but the ride was about ten minutes until we arrived at the luxury villa near the beach.

The place to stay didn‘t matter to the kids. The moment we got out of the plane, they already er 85 wanted to jump in the water, and Finn, being the hero of the day, explained it was much better when we reached the villa. It was why when the car stopped and as soon as they got out of the vehicle, my kids ran to the powdery white sand and squealed in delight as they put Nitro on the ground, and as if they were crabs, they excitedly dug the sand. “Ms. Perry, as much as | would like to stay, | think this is not what my brother wanted to happen. He said you already talked about this,” he said, causing my heart to get stuck in my throat.

“He's not coming, is he?” | managed to lift the corners of my mouth. Finn shrugged and looked at my children.

“One thing I'm sure of is seeing you again, Ms. Perry. And when | see you again, | will be calling you Anj, or...” he batted his eyelashes at me, smiling as he continued, “Sweetheart, perhaps?” I sneered at him. “That’s never gonna happen, Finn.” He laughed when | lifted my clenched fist, wanting to punch him. | shook my head as I crossed my arms in my chest.

“Relax, Ms. Perry.” He chuckled. “Enjoy your vacation. You didn‘t need to worry about your stay here. Just a warning, though. There‘s no signal here, but there‘s a satellite phone inside if you wish to call the pilot.

There are also three stay-in servants here, and they have already filled the kitchen with food, but you can still ask them if you want to eat something not available in the stock room.” “We're not staying here forever, Finn,” | smirked at him. He rolled his eyes. “I know. Who would love to stay here when theres no internet?” He shook his head. He waved at my kids. “Girls, Uncle Finn is going home.

Take care of Nitro!” He shouted and waved at Anya and Dylan, standing near the three girls playing on the sand. “Thank you and take care,” | was sincere in saying it as | was truly grateful for him for giving Nitro to the girls. At least, with the puppy around, they have forgotten Sky for a while. He just nodded and turned his back onto return to the car, but before plopping in, he called me. “Ms. Perry, just a piece of advice. My brother is a good man. He's the best, actually, but this whole thing of pretending won't do good for both of you,” He smiled at me. “He's getting married to Lalaine, and her family’s one of the major stockholders in our company. So, you know how it works, right?” | pursed my lips, putting on my poker face to hide what I truly felt at the moment.

“And my brother... Sky loves her. If you're up for the competition, think about it. It would be one hell of a game.” | watched Finn get into the car and turn to the sun slowly hiding on the horizon. He was right; even if | play this right, | will still lose. If those were the criteria to win Sky, then | don’t have the advantage, only losing because the only ace | have is my children.
