Angel In Disguise

Chapter 17 - A Sweet Smile

I don't know how I managed to do it, but I did.

I'm inside a billionaire and a multi millionaire's home. I don't usually sneak into houses and steal because it's not really something I like as much. It's riskier and a bit boring.

Today is actually my first time doing it. Only because the multimillion-dollar woman is the wife of the billionaire, and he has gotten her some very beautiful, shiny, and expensive pieces of jewelry.

I met them at the gala, and they seemed like such nice persons. It wasn't hard to find their address and to my surprise it wasn't hard to get into their huge property either.

We only have a very tiny problem now. It's just at this moment when I walked into the kitchen that I noticed they have a dog.

"Hello, darling." I say to it as sweetly as I can and the dog only stares at me.

"Please don't bark." I add in a sweet smile.

Maybe if I gave it treats it will stay busy as I do what I have to do. I don't think it will hurt me since I don't have any badly intentions. I just need to borrow his owner's jewelry before they get home.

I even went as far as to cut off all their security.

The dog lays down on the floor and I take that as my opportunity to quickly look for a snack to give him. I quickly come across a cabinet with treats and grab the bag that seems to be used the most.

I walk toward the dog who perks up its head at me while staring at the bag of treats in my hands. I put a few treats near its paws, and he begins eating them and becoming busy. I put the bag away and continue with my route toward the master bedroom. I look around admiring how beautiful the place actually is.

I enter the closet that hits me with a scent of expensive perfume and my eyes are blessed with very expensive and luxurious clothes all around. A small section of dresses in particular catch my attention and I notice that they are vintage designer dresses.

I'll definitely take a few of those if I have time.

I make my way toward another section that is filled with blouses. I spread them apart in the middle to reveal a vault. I quickly put in the code that also wasn't so hard to find.

It opens and my eyes are blessed once more with more beauty.

I take the rings with the huge diamonds first. Then, the necklaces with pretty details and colors. I end it off with the different types of bracelets and expensive watch collection.

I take the few stacks of money that are in here as well and with that I close the vault and put the blouses back into place. I look down at my watch to see I still have a few minutes left.

I take that as my opportunity to go look at the vintage designer dresses. They're all gorgeous and I want them all because they would make me good money but unfortunately, they won't be so easy to sell the way jewelry is.

Maybe another time when I figure out how to sell them to the fashion ladies without me getting caught. I sigh staring at them for one more second before finally leaving and retracting my steps back to where I entered from.

I decide to go check on the dog who has finished its snacks and is now lazily laying on the ground. I gently pet its head and offer it another smile and it only stares at me as I continue on my way out.

Running a hand across my face, I let a sigh escape me.

I'm never anxious about anything but she is causing that feeling to come out of me. I will walk into that house right now if she doesn't come out in the next three minutes.

I'm even shaking my damn leg and I am only now just realizing it.

I had stopped following her around, but I don't know what got into me when I decided to do it again. I think it was something about that stupid date that wasn't even a real date.

I guess I want her to be okay and not get hurt. I'm fully aware that she is able to take care of herself and that she has obviously never been caught but it was a sudden urge that I got. If I didn't go along with it, then I would be uncomfortable for days until I found the excuse to see her.

I check the time to see three minutes have passed and I am about to step out the car when I see a dark figure leave the mansion. She wouldn't be noticeable if you weren't looking for her.

I can tell very clearly that it is her by her height and her walk.

I wait a couple minutes to where I have perfectly timed how long it would take her to get to her car that she parked a bit far away. I then turn my car on and make my way to go find her.

I end up driving back onto a busy road into the city where I am following her behind two cars to not make it so obvious that it is me. She will only question me, and I wouldn't know what to say to excuse myself on why I watched her enter and leave a house with probably millions of stolen goods.

It would be too dumb to say anything that I already have because I have witnessed what she does, and I haven't done shit about it.

We drive for quite a while, and I park down the road where her house is to not draw attention to myself. I keep an eye on her as she gets out her car and then safely enters her home.

I then stay seated in my car in silence.

There is something seriously wrong with me and I don't know what it is or if I like it. I don't know if I want to go deeper and actually figure it out.

I don't want to do anything or feel anything that I will regret.
