Fortunately, he was right. His sister was there....but unfortunately....she was being dragged away by a drunk man. In the act of saving Andrea, although he wounded the bad man by stabbing his leg from behind with a sharp piece of wood, he was stabbed twice from the back. Andrea screamed for help over and over again, but to no avail. She tried to go get help but he held her hand and said, "Don't go. Stay...stay with me," he said and coughed out blood.

"Y-You need help. I won't be long, okay?"

"For someone aspiring to (cough, cough) be a doctor, I know it's over," he said and coughed again. Andrea's mind went blank as though she couldn't comprehend what was happening. Her mind had suddenly refused to register what was going on. "I know what you're doing. I can tell from (cough, cough) from your eyes," he struggled to speak and groaned, as tears started to run out. "Listen carefully to me Lily. You need (groans) to find Uncle Paulo. Ask mum..." He couldn't complete his sentence as he st

    Andrea's apartment... Andrea finally got up to fully read the note on the card accompanying the package once again. 'How on Earth could I think such a narcissistic rich brat would be so nice to me?' she thought with a dejected sigh, still staring at the note which said, 'Sweet dreams dearest Andrea. Hope you can join me for breakfast tomorrow. Time and place are at your discretion...if you do accept my invitation, of course. No pressure though....if you're not available tomorrow. There's the entire festive season ahead of us. Love, Austin.' 'Did Lana put him up to this? I mean he is sweet and all but isn't this weirdly extra for someone I've barely spoken to?' she thought, staring at the card and wrapped box on the table before her with a lifted brow. "Oh Lily Andrea, stop overthinking again," she said, face palming herself for being rude about a clearly thoughtful gesture. She placed the card down and opened up the box. "EEEEEE!" she squealed excitedly. "Chocolate!" she whisper-ye

    Moments later..."Austin? What are you doing here today? Giving up your off day?" Nicole, a waitress at Royal Blossom cafe restaurant asked when Austin walked in."Hey Nicole," he greeted with a smile as he moved over to the counter. "So many people are here today, much more than usual. Are we giving out free food?""You haven't heard? The boss came here today," she said in a gossipy mood."Why? He was here for the regular inspection two months ago so..." he was saying when a mischievous thought crossed his mind and his expression couldn't hide it. He turned to Yvonne who was already suspicious of his mindset. "Did he come to...""Shut up knuckle head," Yvonne spat blushing as she attempted to smack him with a nearby napkin."It was our 'beloved' Manager of Blossom Chain," Nicole laughed her heart out and chipped in, "Ouuu but he already invited her to a Christmas event...as his date....""Shut up blabbermouth and get back to work. I'm still your boss.""Wait, so if it wasn't him, who

    It had been a week since Antonio and Andrea's meetup in the cafe. Antonio had decided to put the proposal on hold until the festive season was over. He therefore hadn't contacted her ever since. Andrea made it up to Austin by spending the whole of the next day with him, playing games, watching movies and recording videos for their YouTube channels. They still had a pending date but that had to wait since Austin was summoned home by his parents for Christmas day. Andrea, on the other hand, planned a donation with her fans to gift to an orphanage in the city. She visited them occasionally to play with them and teach them handy stuff. At a point in her life, she felt like one of them and that broke her heart, the very thought of feeling alone despite being surrounded by multiple people, feeling like a burden and wondering the reason for existing. She hoped to make them enjoy the holidays, forgetting their problems, even if for a little bit, by showering them with gifts during the festive

    "A-A-Antonio," Andrea stuttered, looking like the blood had drained out of her face, as though she was seeing a ghost.The little boy stared with admiration at the man before him and shouted alarmingly, "Santa's in Town!"He wiggled his little body out of her arms and offered to carry the hats in. Antonio chuckled and insisted that he'd do that himself but placed one on the little guy's head. John thanked him and rushed back in excitedly."W-What are you doing here?""Oh where are my manners not replying to your greeting. Merry Christmas to you too Miss Santa," he said sarcastically, causing her to roll her eyes with a chuckle."Merry Christmas to you too Santa Claus. But what are you doing her?""What do you think? I came to adopt. It is an orphanage after all," he said nonchalantly."Huh?" she asked stunned."Except that I'm hearing from sources it would be easier if I had a wife. But how would I get one who would actually like orphaned kids they barely know. Most of the women I kno

    Andrea was backed against the wall with Antonio trapping her with both his hands blocking her from the sides. She was absolutely flushed and even cuter than usual. In no time, their faces were barely an inch away. Andrea's mind was a mess. She was being towered by a muscular dominating man. She could barely focus on anything other than the hazel brown eyes staring down at her so intensely with an expression she couldn't read. His hot pink sumptuous lips tensed her up even more as the slightest move could whined up in a kiss.Antonio, who only intended to tease Andrea, found himself unable to move away. He hoped this would ease whatever awkward feeling she might have had seeing him again after their previous encounter. Up close, Andrea was indeed truly breathtaking. Her glossy pouty lips only made it harder, working like a magnet pulling him closer. Just when their lips were sure to meet, Andrea snapped out of her daze. She shut her eyes and turned her face."I-I believe you were maki

    The festive season was over. It was a new year and all seemed well and in its usual with Lana back in the apartment. However, torment from the just ended holidays hovered over Andrea, like a dark mist waiting to consume her. After the donation to the orphanage, that very night, Antonio mailed her the contracts which she refused saying, "I'm not about to jump into the lion's mouth."He responded, "I'm not going to persuade you anymore. Where persuasion fails, force is applied. You will work for me Andrea Cabrera. I'll see you next year."These words have been haunting Andrea ever since. 'How far is he willing to go? I can't just give in when I know he just wants to punish me. What do I do now?' she thought distressed. She didn't feel she could confine in Lana about everything because she didn't want the lecture on 'self-control' and 'avoid trouble'. Most of all, she feared her sister would get involved in order to help her out.★★★Meanwhile...Antonio's study...Antonio and Lauren whe

    In Andrea's attempt to help the woman, she took her over to the back seat and before she could open it up, the door flung open and she felt a sting on her neck. In the blink of an eye, there was complete darkness."Take the wheel," Lauren said to the man who opened the door while the man who sedated her carried her into the car. "To the warehouse," she said and they immediately sped off.★★★The apartment..."She's still not answering," Lana said, pacing back and forth. "I shouldn't have sent the text first. She's not gonna pick. She's upset.""Calm down love," Jackson said soothingly as he tried to console Lana, rubbing her arms. She however gave him a sharp look before moving out of his embrace. "Maybe Andrea's not coming back right now because she's infuriated by the fact that I'm here. She probably doesn't want to come and meet me here. You could text her and tell her we're stepping out to talk. We won't be long so long as you don't want to.""We definitely won't be long," she sai

    "Miss, you need to stop this. The..." Before Dan could complete his statement, Eric flipped the switch and Andrea dropped into the water, still bonded to the chair. At that very moment, the other door flew open, almost coming off, startling everyone in the room."Boss!"Antonio scanned the large room eagerly in search of Andrea when he suddenly spotted the cable in the water with ripples forming at the surface. A second's glare should have been good enough to tell Eric, 'If you truly intend to continue living, you had better lift the lever.' Unfortunately, the terrified man, paralyzed with fear, stood mouth and eyes wide open, as he watched Antonio approaching him with quite some speed for a walk. Finally realizing his certain predicament, Eric immediately lifted the lever to pull her out. Unfortunately, it only managed to bring out her head before the cable snapped sending her back in. Antonio, in the twinkle of an eye, dived in to pull her out. He tried to get her out of the seat but

    Lana opened the door to their apartment, acknowledging a knock. There stood three men, each holding two suitcases with the exception of one, who held just one and a board with a sheet requiring a signature. "Hello Ma'am, we're from Flash Delivery Service," the young nervous man in front informed. "Yeah, I can tell from the outfit," she immediately struck his confidence down, obliviously and curiously fixated on the luggages. The young man took a deep breath before continuing their mission, "We have a delivery for one Miss Lily Andrea Rob...sorry...Cabrera." "Uhm....sure. Please bring the things in. I'll get her for you." Lana screamed, almost sounding excited, calling Lily out. Clearly irritated and looking sleepy, Lily made her way to the living room, rubbing her eye with her sleeve-covered fingers. Andrea's P.O.V "Is there a prob...." My words failed to completely escape the source when my eyes landed on the men holding the suitcases, dressed in the yellow and dark blue unif

    "Now, she has really crossed the line with me. I'll make her stay here as miserable as possible," Lauren mumbled to herself as soon as she was sure Antonio was out. Little did she know that he was yet to completely shut the door. He chuckled under his voice at what she said before thinking to himself, 'I know you will Lauren. You're my ticket to getting back at that wild cat.'***Around the promised hour, Antonio picked up Lauren from the office and made their way to the warehouse. Immediately the Audi came to a halt, the door flew open instantly, making way for the brightness of day that was shun out by the tinted windows. They were welcomed by a man dressed in a black sleeveless turtleneck shirt, a dark themed soldier camouflage pants with multiple side pockets, black wellington boots, wore a pair of black leather gloves, and had on a black headband. Arnold was followed by two others dressed similarly who stood at the entrance of the building, one holding a black briefcase with a g

    "Lana, let go. I'm fine. It's nothing....""Nothing? Your once flawless skin is suddenly covered by dark patches after you disappeared for almost a month and you're telling me it's nothing? Get dressed. We're going to see the doc...""No!" I aggressively yanked my arms out of her grip. "I'm fine. It's nothing so please leave me alone. It's no big de...""No big deal? You think I can't tell these are from healing bruises? That means something did happen and if you won't tell me what, I'll find out myself," she said angrily and stormed off, taking her phone out of her pocket."Lana!" I immediately went after her, while putting a t-shirt on. "You're exaggerating. It's nothi....""Don't give me that Andrea. You...""Fine, it's simply none of your business," I boomed, cutting her. The air in the living room instantly became thick and suffocating. The astonishment and sadness drawn on her face was soft and yet heart-wrenching. "How can you say that?

    Andrea's POVAfter about 3 weeks of being locked up in the Monster's mansion, I was released with three days of rest before reporting for work at Robles Corp. To be honest, my stay there wasn't all gloomy and stormy but it certainly feels good to be back in the apartment, with the exception of having to play the silent treatment with Lana. I knew she had been worried about my whereabouts but there was no way I could tell her that. I couldn't afford to get her involved in this, being already way in over my head with my little brother involved. I'd probably have had to sell myself for her and that would have been a nightmare, to be enslaved to Antonio. Sadly, that was already the case...just in a slightly less traumatizing way.On the other hand, Lana's return to Jackson had me up in arms. Just the thought of them together fused with the memory of his birthday party made me livid. I was worried about her well-being. Jackson, as everyone knew him, was said and proven to be a no-good spoi

    "Where's Jenny by the way?" "Somewhere," he replied, nonchalantly. "By the way, tell your boy to get himself together and do the needful. Time is running and we must honour our word.""Mr Leon, don't you think..""I don't want to hear any excuses. You live with him for crying out loud. You practically raised him so you better start demanding that respect. He's basically your son. Let him know that. Do you understand?""Mr..." "Do you underst..." He was unable to complete his statement when a violent cough took over his sore throat. "Mr. Le...." Her words were cut short once again by the abrupt end of the call. "Oh dear Lord," she said, her heavy British accent loaded with panic. "I need to speak to Antonio about...""Speak to me about what?" a hostile hoarse voice interrupted from behind, just as she opened her bedroom door to step in."Good Lord!" she exclaimed out of fright, losing her grip over the keys. Thankfully, Antonio was swift enough to catch them before they were landed

    "You're in no position to ask me to do anything. Don't forget I'm your boss now. In case you didn't know because you ignorantly failed to read the contract before signing, you begin work two days after you are fully discharged by the doctor...""You bast...""Complete that and it'll be the death of you Andrea Cabrera," he threatened with a stone cold gaze. "I'll take my leave now. Enjoy your grace period and try not to worry too much. It won't help you get better soon so you can finally start your dream job." He majestically walked out of the room with a satisfied grin, leaving behind a raging and panicking Andrea. She was left to her wild imagination to drive her mad, wondering what's next.***Hours later..."Mr. Perkins," the Vice Chancellor called out as he walked in, interrupting the ongoing lecture. He whispered something to the lecturer whose clearly displeased and confused expression suddenly turned to a stunned one. Jake, watching the scene playing before him from the end of

    "Speak already Antonio and quit staring like that. It's rude to stare." He leaned in closer till his lips were barely an inch away from her ear and whispered to her. Suddenly, she stood frozen as he moved away to enjoy the look of horror on her face."You're kidding," she barely whispered, only making his grin grow wider. "You must be out of your mind!""You have till I get out of the shower to determine your brother's fate...""W-What about Lauren? You can't...""I never said I was firing her Andrea.

    Lauren spent the night in the office, seeing to it that the technical department located the hacker as soon as possible. It then dawned on her to contact Antonio to make sure he knew she was doing her duty and would be giving him the good news soon. Hundred percent was an understatement of her certainty that Rachel was responsible. 'The best thing would be to present the grand gift of her location with undeniable evidence and gain Antonio's acceptance once again. I should at least let him know I'm aware and working on it.'She left the department and went to her office to make the call. Unfortunately, the confidence with which she announced the soon identification of the location was blown into bits by Antonio."I didn't hear from you last night, neither did I hear from the team after the breach. Forget about it. I've already located the hacker myself and I'll deal with the situation on my own," he said in his hoarse iconic nonchalant tone."I-I'll tell the men to get the warehouse re

    "Sweetie, if Antonio hated you, you wouldn't be in his room. You would have been locked up in the basement no matter how severe your injuries must have been. He never let people come into his room. Honestly! At a point, it was so intense that, he personally took care of its cleaning, only permitting me to help him out. That, however, had to come to an end since the gentleman was often too occupied. Yet, even till date...or at least until you came into the picture....only a trusted few, hand picked by yours truly....had been authorized to attend to his room with me.
