Nanny Emilia had returned home from Isabella's school and had found everywhere awkwardly quiet when she entered the living room.There were no signs of Luca or Antonio in the house.One of Antonio's cars wasn't parked outside so she thought that he must have gone to work with Luca.She still finds it strange that Antonio refused Isabella from going to school in her school bus and had asked her to take Isabella to school with Mateo in his car.She walked into the kitchen and saw that Gemma's breakfast was still laying untouched on the table."Why hasn't she eaten by now?" Nanny Emilia asked herself as she checked the time and saw that it was almost ten in the morning.She felt Gemma didn't have the strength to come down and eat her food, so she carried the food up to her room.When she got to Gemma's room, she knocked but there was no response. On the third knock, and still no response, she opened the door and went in.She was so shocked when she went in and saw a pool of blood on the
Margaret was surprised when she heard a car drive into her compound. She rarely receives visitors, none of the boys working for her has a car and with the way the gatekeeper allowed the car to drive into the compound with no issues, then it must be someone he knows.She stood up from the couch she had been sitting on and walked over to the window to peep out of it. She saw the car and instantly recognized it. It was Antonio's.She was surprised.What's he doing there?Antonio had stopped visiting her for a while as there seemed to be a fall out between them. He has also refused to tell her what went wrong between them.She watched him come down from the car after he parked it and headed towards the direction of the main door. Soon, there was a knock on the door."Antonio" she called out when she opened the door and saw him really standing there. Surprise was still all over her face."Let's go to your bar. Drink with me" He said as he stepped into the living room.He didn't
Antonio woke hours later with a banging headache. He held his head in pain and groaned softly in pain."Are you okay?" Margaret asked and he looked towards her direction.She's sitted on a chair, opposite him, facing him and slowly sipping the wine she's holding in her hands."I have a serious headache," Antonio replied, still rubbing his forehead."You drank too much," Margaret said. "There's a drug and glass of water on the tray beside you on the table. It would help"Antonio looked towards the direction of the table beside the bed and found the drug and water. He sat up well, stretched out his hands and took it, then he drank it and returned the glass of water to the table.Margaret was right as the drug was very effective and soon, he's starting to get better."How do you feel now??" Margaret asked, as she stood up from the chair and came to sit beside him on the bed."I feel better now," he replied."Look, Margaret, I'm really sorry for barging into your house this morning then r
GEMMA Luca bowed to Antonio and walked out of the room, leaving me and Antonio in the room.I suddenly felt alone when Luca left. I had almost stopped him from leaving."How are you feeling?" Antonio asked.I eyed him from head to toe like someone infected with leprosy, hissed and looked away.I've made up my mind to stop being so scared of him. He has done his worst already, what more can he do? Except to kill me.I don't mind dying than living in this miserable life but first, I must have my revenge before I die.He turned my cheek to face me."Don't touch me" I chided."Look, Gemma, I know you're mad at me but I'm sorry" he apologized.I scoffed."You're apologizing??" I asked with a tone of mockery."I'm not sorry that the baby is gone. I'm sorry for beating you up. You're too stubborn, you should have done things the easy way" he replied."Really? You're not sorry the baby is gone? Wow!" I said."I don't like kids," he replied briefly."And Isabella?" I asked."Let's not ta
***TWO WEEKS LATER*** Margaret has been feeling so weak and sick for the past weeks now. It's going to the third week and she's still feeling the same.The weakness and sickness started after a week she had unprotected sex with Antonio and she suspected she might be pregnant. She's also having symptoms of pregnancy.She prayed fervently that she's really pregnant for Antonio. It'll be a prayer answered for her.She picked up her phone one morning to call Vanessa, her best friend, who's in the United States of America."Nessa" she called happily when her best friend answered the call."Garet, it's been a while," Vanessa said happily when she heard her friend's voice."How have you been? How's the weather over there?" Margaret asked."I've been so fine. How have you been too?""I've been okay, I guess" "I missed you" Margaret said and pouted even though Vanessa couldn't see her."I missed you too, Garet. You've totally forgotten about me, your best friend. You're enjoying
GEMMAI turned around and was about to leave the room when I heard the door opening and I saw Antonio walking into the room.Damnit! I'm in trouble!Antonio stopped in his tracks when he saw me. Surprise and shock was clearly written on his face. Then his facial expression turned into that of anger."What the hell are you doing in my room?" He growled."I came to take this" I replied, showing him the video game in my hands and was more surprised at my growing confidence.I just realized I was no longer scared of Antonio and it made me proud of myself. The old me would have been shaking like a leaf by now."I don't understand you," he replied, giving me a confused look.It wasn't what I said that he didn't understand, it was my confidence to talk that way that he didn't understand."Did you realize you came into my room without my permission and broke one of my rules?" He asked."Yes, I know, but I couldn't help it. Isabella came crying to me in my room that you seized her video game a
Margaret woke up feeling so ecstatic. She couldn't wait to begin with her plans. Her best friend, Vanessa had advised her to get closer to Antonio and more close to his daughter, Isabella because Isabella is the easiest way to win Antonio's heart. And she's going to do just that! She already bought a Barbie doll online, and was just waiting for it to get here.She quickly rushed to the bathroom to brush her teeth, take her bath and get dressed. She was done getting dressed and applying some make up to her face when she heard a knock on the door. It could only be Grace, her maid."Come in," Margaret said from within.She was right after all as Grace came in carrying a package in her hands. "Good afternoon ma'am. A delivery man asked me to give this to you" Grace informed her."Good, it came at the right time," Margaret replied."Leave it there" she said and pointed to the dressing table."Okay Ma'am" Grace replied and did as she was told. Then she bowed her head and left the room.M
GEMMA From the look on Antonio's face, I could tell he wasn't pleased to see his visitor."Antonio" the strange woman called sweetly and walked to where he was now standing.She gave him a hug which Antonio was reluctant to respond to."You didn't tell me you're coming," he said to her after the hug."Just wanted to pay a surprise visit and talk things over with you physically" she replied.I saw Antonio bend towards her and whisper something in her ears.Then she nodded."But first, I'll have to relax before any discussion,"she said."Emilia, I'm starving" She called out. "What's for lunch??""Pasta,"Nanny Emilia replied."Oh wow…I love it," She replied."I'll serve you now" Nanny Emilia replied and went into the kitchen. I stood up and went into the kitchen to assist her."Who's that woman?" I asked Nanny Emilia in the kitchen."She's Margaret Steele. She's been friends with Antonio for a very long time now. They're really close, more like best friends and she also works for
