Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover
Chapter 45 - Five Hundred Percent

Chapter 45 - Five Hundred Percent

The three friends sat in front of the television, watching movies when Angelina's phone buzzed.

"Don't tell me it's Kevin Heart," Lily groaned. "You've been texting him all day!" She rolled her eyes.

Katherine sulked.

"It's an app that alerts me about news I want," she said offhandedly as she scrolled. "Turn to the gossip news channel!" she screamed all of a sudden, scaring them out of their wits.

They changed the channel quickly and settled in, Angelina a ball of worry, Katherine who was disinterested, and Lily who didn't know what to do with herself.

"Under the Star actor got married in a secret ceremony," the reporter began. The three stiffened. Surely, it wouldn't be Cage, right?

"If he got married. I swear to god, I will chop his balls off. How dare he do this to me?" Kitty turned to Angelina with a stunned look.

"What?" she asked.

"He sent me his number and everything. We have been texting since last night and he went ahead and married someone behind my back?" she cried. Lily stroked her back.

"If he really did that, then he is an asshole. Why didn't you tell us you had this number, sweetie?" she said in a low voice, trying to soothe Angelina. She glanced at Katherine, pleading for help.

"Give me his number," Katherine interjected. "We'll set this straight."

"Actors Cage Cavanaugh and Keira Higgins tied the knot on Saturday in a secret ceremony, sources say. The latter flaunted her new ring in front of the paparazzi earlier this morning, making people stunned. After their very public breakup after the cheating scandal, Cavanaugh publicly admitted that he was only seeing her under professional grounds."

The cries from beside her became pronounced.

"If you really think it's him, we are going to hunt his sorry ass and show him who is boss. He can't be messing with a girl like this." Lily gently reassured her, her words contradicting the tone of her voice.

"But he's married!" she wailed. "What do I do with consolation?"

Katherine snuck Angelina's phone out of her pyjama pocket and searched the history.

She'd saved a number as 'My Cagey' and from the looks of it, they talked every hour of the day.

"Have you called him yet?" she asked, getting a little bored. She almost felt bad.

"You can't call him. He asked me not to!" she screamed, suddenly seeing the phone in Kitty's hand. "He's busy. He can't take calls," she sobbed.

"If he is Cage, then he is on his down time. He has time on his hands," Kitty responded, holding the phone to her ears. Angelina crawled to her, edging closer to listen who was on the other side.

"Hello?" someone picked up the call. The voice was definitely female and sounded sultry to the ears. She didn't know who it was but it was definitely not Cage Cavanaugh.

"Sorry, wrong number," she muttered, immediately hanging up.

"Did he pick up?" she asked between sniffles.

"A woman picked the phone up. Didn't sound like an older woman, so I don't know," she shrugged.

"He was cheating all along," she broke out into sobs again. Katherine felt pity for her friend but there was something fishy about this whole situation. Why would Cage go back to someone who treated him like trash? That was unlikely.

"Text him," Lily ordered. "Text him and tell him you need to talk."

"I can't." She had a panicked look on her face. "What if he stops talking to me?"

"You can't control that." After half an hour of bawling and obsessively looking through all the news channels to see that the same news was being circulated everywhere, they managed to make Angelina go to bed and sleep of her sorrows.

"How did the woman sound?" Lily asked once Angelina was off to sleep.

"Could be an older sister or girlfriend. Couldn't really make out. But it didn't sound like Keira, so I am sure it is not Cage." Katherine said. She might have been a little concerned for her friend, but she wasn't going to follow her into delusional thinking.

"So we are sure that it is not Cage."

"Five hundred percent."
