Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 158

Dexter cast a cold, condescending glance at Trevor, his gaze radiating the icy cruelty of someone who held unquestionable superiority. "I know exactly what you're plotting, and I suggest you abandon those filthy thoughts."

His voice was low and magnetic, but it carried an undeniable undercurrent of menace.

Trevor smirked provocatively. "Dexter, what could I possibly have in mind? I only want to help Angela relax and make sure she gets her belongings back quickly."

Blood streaked his face, and his smile twisted into something disturbingly off-kilter. Angela, catching sight of him, felt her fury flare into a blaze.

Helpless and exasperated, she turned to Dexter. "Please, just get rid of him. I'll waive your room fee for an entire week."

Trevor's eyes sparkled at her words. It was as though he'd stumbled upon a hidden truth. The dynamic between Angela and Dexter was far less harmonious than the rumors suggested. How intriguing.

When Angela stepped into the room moments later, Trevor was gone. Somehow, Dexter had managed to drive him away.

But just a few days later, Trevor's name was everywhere. He had become an overnight sensation, winning the Best New Pop Artist Award. Angela stared at her phone screen, watching his performance in disbelief.

Yvonne appeared beside her, lunch box in hand, and glanced at the screen. "Ms. Graham, are you a fan too? That's Trev, the guy behind the viral single everyone's talking about. Do you find him attractive too?"

Angela blinked, startled, and then noticed the screensaver on Yvonne's phone—a picture of Trevor.

Following her promotion to deputy director, she was paired with Yvonne Clark as her new assistant. Yvonne, a recent college graduate, was young, lively, and beautiful.

...

Curious, Angela visited Trevor's social media account. The comments were endless, filled with admiration and awe.

It wasn't just his looks that stood out—though they were undeniably striking. His world-weary demeanour set him apart as if he carried the weight of untold stories. That cold, distant demeanor added an air of mystery that captivated his audience.

Frustrated, Angela turned off her phone and grabbed her mug, heading to the pantry for coffee to clear her mind.

But as she reached the door, she froze. What she saw stopped her in her tracks.
