Chapter 269: Could This Be Love?
Angela knew she had to find out what Marcus really wanted from her, what he expected in return for the help he
gave. Even though he was her parent, she wasn’t used to any family member doing something for her without
wanting something back. All her life, she had always paid Grace or Uncle Toga for every little thing they did for
her, whether with money or by doing chores.
"Do you want to see what's going on?" Hiro asked, taking her hand in his. She looked at him, confused, and he
smiled. "You want to... | know it."
"I would like to know what's happening," Angela said as she climbed out of the bed. She looked at the wall
beside her for the first tand saw her nwritten in a beautiful frhanging there. "Whose house is this?"
Taros’ gaze shifted to his brother. They exchanged looks, unsure how to tell her. "If you're not comfortable here,
you should tell us," Taros said gently. "It’s just temporary, right, Hiro?"
"Yes, bro," Hiro nodded quickly. "We're in the Malynster’s villa. This is Marcus’s mansion, and the frwith your
nwas changed just a day ago. It used to be my daughter's room."
Her brows drew together as she realized what he meant. "Did you make a decision without me? Who said |
wanted to live with him? Who said | wanted a father?"
"No one is forcing you, my love," Hiro said softly. He could see she misunderstood again. He rubbed her knuckles
gently. "Every decision is yours. If you want to leave right now, we'll do it. What matters is what you want."
Angela could see that they truly meant it. They were on her side. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
"This room was made for you a long tago," Taros explained quietly. "Marcus said he kept changing it every
year, hoping that one day he’d find you. If you don’t believe me...."
"I'll ask him myself," Angela said with a little chuckle, waiting for Hiro to lead her. They walked out of the room,
and she couldn't hide her surprise at what she saw. The mansion was breathtaking, filled with white and wooden
designs that gave it warmth and peace. A sweet scent floated in the air, wrapping around her as she walked
down the stairs.
It was like the backyard of the mansion. A pool stretched a few steps away from the glass door, its clear water
calm under the soft light. A few chairs and a table were placed neatly on the left side, surrounded by flowers and
a small garden that gave the place a quiet beauty. Renn leaned against the wall, watching Kaito and Marcus as
they played with their powers—fire.
"What's going on?" Angela asked, frowning at the sight of them. They seemed too comfortable with each other.
The way Kaito asked questions and Marcus answered with patience before snapping his fingers amazed her. Fire
burst out, and water appeared beside it at the stime. She had never seen such a thing before—fire and

"Marcus is giving them free lessons on how to use their powers," Taros explained.
"I see... | wasn't expecting to wake up to this," she said, scratching the back of her head before folding her arms
around herself. "I didn’t think they would bond this fast."
"You don't like it?" Hiro asked quietly.
"No... | do like it. My problem with him shouldn't affect you all," Angela said with a soft smile. "As long as none of
you get hurt, I'm fine."
Taros smiled slightly and opened the door for her. Renn was the first to notice her. As he started walking toward
her, her mind went back to what Miss Valois told her...Renn was her flesh and blood, yet he never said a word
about it.
Angela had asked him many times about their relationship, but he always avoided the truth. He never denied the
rumors that he was dating Miss Valois. He just went along with them, saying nothing to clear her doubts. The
memory burned her chest. He could have told her the truth, and she wouldn't have judged him. But he chose
silence, and now it hurt deeply.
"Hey babe," Renn said as he reached her and pulled her into his arms. She closed her eyes and leaned against
him. Angela knew she should have pushed him away, scolded him, or shouted at him for keeping such a secret,
but she couldn’t bring herself to do it. She wanted to see if he would finally tell her the truth on his own.
"How are you? | heard you were hurt during the fight," Angela said as they broke from the hug. She looked into
his green eyes and saw pain hiding behind them. He tried to smile, but she could tell he was hurting. He didn’t
want her to see it, he was trying to protect her from it.
"He got shot twice on his thighs by the principal," Hiro said quietly.
Angela's eyes widened in shock as she turned to him. It sounded impossible, like something from a nightmare.
Why would a mother try to kill her own son? She had thought it wasn’t that serious, but seeing him now made
her heart ache. She could tell the wound went deeper than flesh. It was something that scarred his soul.
"I'm so sorry about that. She doesn’t love you, Renn," Angela said softly, holding his arm.
"It’s okay. I'm fine now. | don’t care about that woman anymore," Renn said, forcing a smile as he tried to kiss
her. But before their lips could meet, a low growl cfrom Marcus. Renn stopped and sighed. "Now we have to
deal with Marcus's protection over you. | didn’t know fathers could be this overprotective."
Angela almost laughed when Renn let her go. It looked like Marcus was already making his presence felt. For
sreason, instead of being bothered, she felt safe. For the first tin her life, she felt protected just by
having one of her parents close.
"Hey amor, welcback," Kaito said with excitement. He hugged her, but it was brief, just enough not to get
on Marcus's nerves.
"Thank you," she said with a small smile, unable to look up as she tried to take in everything around her.

Her mates exchanged looks before nodding and walking back to the house, leaving her alone with Marcus. The
air grew heavy. The moment of truth had come.
Angela crossed her arms, trying to steady her voice. "How did it happen? Who is my mother? Why was | left
alone to suffer like | had no family?"
