MONTERO'S MANSIONAntonio's phone ranged, a guard quickly delivered it to him, his hand trembling.The call was from one of his men he had sent to get Diana, with a fake message that he had agreed to her condition in order to lure her into his trap, but she was smarter than he thinks.“What do you mean, she is not at the hotel!”He shouted.His grandma and Courtney looked up at him, worried at the outburst.******“This is so unlike Angela, what could have happened?”Doris thought and paced back and forth in the room, her feet echoing off the walls as she tried to stop the feeling of unease and anxiousness, but it only grew with time.She kept trying Angela's number and her eyes kept drifting to the clock, the minutes ticking by at a glacial pace. She felt like she was stuck in limbo, unable to move forward or find peace until she heard from Angela.Her sister, Rachel, walked into the living room with a tray of neat glass for the expected visitors.She saw the worry look on her siste
“That bitch had the guts to hang over”.Antonio laughed in despair.“Any news about Angela?”Courtney asked gently.“Shut your bitchy mouth up!”Antonio roared out,loud enough to shake the whole Mansion.His face twisted in a mixture of anger and frustration as he paced in his room, restlessly. He wasn't worried about Dorris' threat to involve the police, it never made him nervous.He blamed himself for not eliminating Diana at that time.He never thought she would go this far. He thought he had the upper hand in this but how come no one knows where she is hiding.He dropped on his couch, his eyes shut, and his chest heavy, however beneath his anger, a glimmer of worry flickered. Angela is only his, and he needed her alive and safe without a scratch. If anything happened to her, he will….He opened his eyes and felt a tear dropped down his face.A heartbreaking laughter cracked out from his chest.“What the hell am I crying for?!”He cursed himself for not taking Diana's life earlie
“It was too late when I got there, Jace..….”He paused and faked regret.Angela's eyes widened in shock, her mind reeling with the news. “Jace…no…no, that can't be, tell me please, tell me my brother is okay,” she stammered, her voice trembling.Damon's face was grim, his eyes filled with sorrow. “I'm so sorry, Angela. Jace was a brave kid. He fought hard to protect the twins even though he was critically injured…he didn't make it, when I got there.”Angela felt her world crashing down around her. Jace was her rock, her father, her brother, her friend…gone. She felt like she was drowning in a sea of grief, unable to breathe.“The twins? Are they…are they okay?” she sobbed, her voice barely above a whisper.Damon nodded, a small smile on his face. “Yes, Angela. The twins are safe. They're with a trusted ally, waiting for you, trust me.”Angela's heart swelled with a little relief, she tried to stand but couldn't.Damon offered a hand but she ignored him.He stepped aside, trying not
Damon led Angela out of the room, through a maze of corridors and into a waiting car. Angela's heart raced with a mixture of Joy as her mind fixed on the kid's safety, then of sadness as she thought of Jace.She couldn't believe he was gone, couldn't bear the thought of a world without him. Her heart was shattered, she felt so weak and unbelievably stressed.Finally, they arrived at a small safe house on the outskirts of the city. Angela's heart leapt as she saw her twins, their little wet faces lighting up with smiles, relief, and hope.“Mommy!”They chimed in unison, crying out their hearts.She gasped hotly and rushed to them, sweeping them into her arms.“I'm so sorry, my babies,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Mommy was so scared. But I'm here now, and I'll never let you go again.”The twins squealed with delight, wrapping their small arms around her neck.She knelt down, hugging them tightly, her eyes welled up with tears as she inhaled their sweet scent, feeling their
Angela nodded, her eyes filling with fresh tears. He released, and she turned to her brother's cold brother.She leaned forward, her lips brushing against Jace's forehead.“Goodbye, Jace,” she whispered, her voice cracking. “I'll never forget you. I'll always love you. The twins love you too, I am sorry they can't say goodbye now, they are already traumatized, and I want to keep them emotionally strong”.She stood up and turned to Damon.“Can you do me a favor, please let me carry his body”.“I don't think that's a good idea Angela, I will bury him in a good cemetery in your hometown, Divine Cemetery is a good choice, you can visit it in a week from now if you don't trust me”.“How will I know that he is the one buried?"“Alright then, he will remain here embezzled until you are ready for the burial, is that okay by you?”“Keeping him here is not safe…”“Fine I will let my men know, you can come tomorrow and get the body, just to avoid the kids asking questions”.That sounds fair to
A car drove into the compound as Damon emerged from the building.One of the uniformed men on standby walked to the car, and quickly opened the door.Diana stepped down from the car, seeing Damon already at the place made her suspicious."Well, well, well. Look what we have here, the missing Diana, wanted by Antonio Montero himself dead or alive!”Damon announced like an aspiring broadcaster, a sly grin spreading across his face. Diana arched her brows.“That stupid perverted fox is out to get me. I can't believe he would choose her over me”.Damon chuckled, his eyes gleaming with mischief. He stopped In front of her and lifted her chin with a pinch.“Poor thing. You still see him as a little boy, don't you? He has grown a lot emotionally and physically, you don't expect him to be your little foxy anymore, Diana.”Diana sighed.“I have accepted my fate, as an old unlucky undesirable bitch (rolls her eyes) but I won't let go easily. He will pay for it. I want my revenge and I know jus
Angela's cab arrived at Doris's place. She drew a deep breath, it looked so different from the last time she visited. Back then when she was happy…knowing that her family was healthy and safe. Now she feels like she's in the middle of a big ocean with no help in sight. No hope for tomorrow.Jace was like the pillar of her support, physically, emotionally and mentally.She closed her eyes to seal the tears from falling freely down her cheeks.The twins moved their heads from her shoulders.They woke up and were excited to see that they were finally at their supposed destination after a long journey filled with chaos and trauma.“We stopped?”Lia asked with a sparkle of excitement in her green eyes looking out of the window, her gaze returned to Angela's pale face.Angela forced a smile at her.“Yes honey. We've arrived at Aunty Doris's place”.“Really?”Liya snapped loudly in excitement, too.Angela nodded at her.“Yeahhhhh”.The kids screamed in excitement, forgetting the traumatic
As they arrived at the location. It was a hotel, probably a new hide-out for Damon, Diana thought, since she's new to this site.They stepped down from the Limo as Damon's personal guard opened the guard and followed them afterward.Diana marveled at the luxury appearance. Of course she expected such luxury, but the fashion sense is something giving Antonio, not Damon.“This is our new hideout from now on, it's safe, you don't have to worry about anything.”Damon said as a uniformed man took off his suit.Diana's lips widened in a smile. It felt good to hear him out her into his plans.“It's spectacular you have a great taste of fashion”.She replied as they walked into the hotel.She could see a lot of highly trained Mafia men around every corner ,and recognized most of them as Antonio's men.H
