Angela nodded impatiently.“Sometimes all we need is a shoulder to cry on and feel better afterward, I am happy now, thanks”.She flashed her dentition.Jace was still not convinced, but he knew she had made up her mind not to disclose it to him.“Alright, well, I am your brother I will always be there for you, if anyone hurt you, I am going to hurt them back, I don't care who the heck they are”.He stated boldly.Angela chuckled and hugged him.“I love you…all of you…the twins and you, you guys are my everything, I love you”.She tried not to sob.Jace wanted to push her away in disgust at the sudden confession, but he knew she needed him to say it back now more than ever.“I love you too”.After the long hug, Angela pulled away and picked her phone from the couch.“I am off to bed, sweet dreams”.She pecked his cheek and walked towards her bedroom.Jace stared at her until she disappeared into the dark passage.He sighed and dropped on the couch, staring at the TV absentmindedly. Tr
Angela woke up with a heavy feeling in her chest.She had tossed and turned all night, her dreams were nothing but the memories of Antonio and the guilt that weighed on her conscience.As she sat up in bed, she felt a wave of exhaustion all over her. Her muscles ached badly, and her head throbbed with a dull headache. She knew that her stress and anxiety had taken a toll on her body, leaving her body feeling drained and weak.Despite the weak feeling in her body, Angela knew she couldn't spend another day wallowing in her sadness and anxiety concerning her issue with Antonio. She forced herself out of bed, moving slowly and deliberately out of the bed.With a heavy sigh, she walked slowly towards the bathroom.As she brushed her teeth, she tried not to think about Antonio again and the possibility of him being aware of her dirty game with Damon.Just then her younger brother Jace burst into her room, the sound of the jammed door startled Angela, her eyes widened in surprise. “What w
Kerry was lounging on the couch in her friend Christy's place, scrolling through a fashion blog with her other friend, Beth. Who was also busy with her phone.“Oh my gosh, have you seen the latest designs from Paris Fashion Week?” Kerry asked no one in particular, her eyes wide with excitement.Beth nodded, her blonde hair bobbing up and down. “Yeah, I saw some shows online. The dresses were stunning!”Kerry sighed wistfully. “I wish I could afford those prices. I'd totally rock that Chanel couture gown on the red carpet.it's so vintage.”Beth laughed savagely. "You think you will fit in? Kerry you need to have the body too you know”.Kerry's eyes lowered in annoyance.“What's that supposed to mean? Are you body-shaming me?”“Girls, let's not fight over little meaningless things”.Christy interrupted.She was the least interested in their conversation, although she is good at fashion, but she's more like the emo of the group.“How can you call this meaningless? She literally body-sha
“But what about our friends? And school? And our favorite ice cream shop?”Lia complained.Angela made a sad face.“I know it's a big change honey, but we'll make new friends and find new favorite spots. And we'll stay in touch with our friends here through video calls and visits.”The kids are still not convinced.“Hey remember aunty Doris makes the best Pizzas imagine having her around the house all day, she will make us the biggest pizzas, and don't you like that?”She winked.Lia smiled a little at the thought of food.However, Liya still looked skeptical. “But why do we have to move? Can't you just do something, so we don't have to move, please?”Angela sighed, trying to think of a convincing explanation. “It's not possible, sweetie. But trust me, this is going to be an adventure for us all. We'll explore a new city together and make memories that will last a lifetime. I promise you baby, I want the best for us”The girls looked at each other, then back at Angela, their faces s
Angela sighed, her eyes avoiding him. "Jace, I've made up my mind.Jace shook his head, his expression unyielding. “You're making a mistake, Angela. You're running away from your problems instead of facing them head-on.”Angela's face tightened in a firm line. "I'm doing what I have to do, Jace. I have to put our family first, and this is what's best for us. Staying isn't safe”.Jace eye's widened in surprise.“What do you mean by staying isn't safe? Is there anything I am yet to know?”Angela said nothing.The kids stopped at the elevator and Angela caught up with them.Jace sighed and carried one of the boxes.As they stepped into the elevator, Angela pressed the button for the first floor, and the doors slid shut behind them, closing the door on a tumultuous past.The elevator descended, and the four of them stood in silence, Angela's mind calculating all that Jace said to her.As the doors opened on the first floor, they stepped out.The cab driver approached them.“I am so sorr
He dashed through the rooms, calling out for Angela, but only silence replied. He felt a pang of anger and frustration.He dropped on the couch with a laughter as dark as the sadness he felt that moment.How could she do this to him? Didn't she know how much he loved her, how much he needed her at a time like this?She met with Diana…then went completely silent over it.A hand on his face.“You think you can bitch walk into my life and vanish from it, you are really guilty ain't you?”He closed his eyes and swallowed tightly his head thrown back.“The hell am I feeling anxious for?”His tight breathing worsened, and his hands clenched hard beside him on the couch.At a time like this, a hardcore will come in a handy.He thought of Diana…but the memories always came with Angela's face.“I am fucked for real”.“I can't believe I trusted some bitch and get hurt…and I can't believe I am doubting that she will ever hurt me”.He laughed again this time lowly, he went silent as the episode
Antonio's luxury car screeched to a halt in front of the grand hotel, its tires were smoking in protest. He flung open the door and stepped out, his eyes blazing with anger. The hotel staff, recognizing him immediately as heir to the wealthy and influential Montero's family that owned that very establishment, scrambled to attention.“Young master Antonio! Welcome, sir!” the concierge exclaimed, rushing to open the door for him.Antonio strode past him, his long strides eating up the distance to the reception desk. “I need to see Diana,” he growled, his voice low and menacing.It caused the woman to tremble.The receptionist, a timid-looking young woman in her late twenties, immediately checked the register.“Ah, yes, Ms. Diana is staying in suite 314,Shall I call up and let her know you are here, sir?”Antonio's eyes narrowed, but he said nothing.It was enough for the receptionist to know what to do and what not to do.He marched towards the elevators, his anger boiling.The unifor
“You groomed me, Diana. You lied to me. And now you're trying to play the victim?”Antonio said, staring directly into her eyes.Diana's eyes filled up with surprised tears, but Antonio didn't relent. “I was abused and violated by you, maybe you should open your eyes Diana and see things more clearly. This is not your little foxy anymore. I am no more the clueless teenager, who is mentally unfit to handle his emotions. I am not the same as the little boy who was violated and ran into your perverted hands for love. You want to play games? Fine. But don't expect me to play along.”Diana's eyes widened and moved down from Antonio's.Slowly she took a trembling step backwards.After a few minutes of intense silence between them, she finally found her voice.“Antonio, I am telling you nothing but the truth, please understand. I don't know what you heard, but I am not a groomer, we do share a connection. I risked my life to keep you safe.”She smiled in tears and looked up at him. “We had
She turned to Antonio, who was still smiling softly, watching her with Junior in his arms. "Did you... did you know?" she asked, her voice still shaky.Antonio stepped forward, gently taking her hand."Found out only weeks ago. It was Leonardo," he explained, nodding toward his best man. "He planned the fake death. Took care of him. Kept Jace safe and hidden, when he was under Damon's control. We all thought it was best to surprise you today. All Leonardo."Angela's wet eyes gazed towards Leonardo.She ran and hugged him."Thank you," she cried. "Thank you for saving him. You don't know what you did for us....thank you. How will I ever pay you back!"Leonardo was unsure if it's okay to hug her back, but the look in Antonio's eyes warned him. Antonio gently pulled her away from Leonard's to his chest."You can cry on my chest instead".He whispered, then turned to his best man."Thank you, Leonardo".Leonardo, still flushed from Courtney's earlier kiss, simply nodded. "It was the l
The guests, still applauding and cheering for them.Antonio's Mexican parents, the fisherman, and his wife, were clapping and cheering proudly while his wife dabbed at her eyes, overwhelmed with joy.Even Hinata, who had been watching quietly, joined the applause, her smile bittersweet but genuinely happy for the lovebirds.Grateful to Angela for her life.******The joyous wedding celebration reached its peak as Angela prepared to toss her bouquet. Laughter and chatter filled the air, the guests eager to see who would catch the symbol of future love. Angela turned her back to the crowd, lifted the bouquet high, and with a quick glance over her shoulder, threw it into the air.The bouquet arced beautifully, and with a soft thud, it landed right in Courtney's hands without her trying.Gasps and cheers erupted from the onlookers. Courtney, with a mischievous smile, turned and walked toward Antonio's best man, Leonardo, who had been watching the scene. Not actually the scene but Court
She nodded and smiled back at them before heading out of the room.As she waited to be walked down the aisle, a guard approached wearing dark sunglasses. He looked very young too."A guard?"Angela asked Doris."He's Antonio's most trusted person to walk you down the aisle. Let him take you". Doris whispered reassuringly.*How come I haven't seen him before, maybe the shades*Angela thought.Reluctantly, and with a deep breath, she finally agreed, allowing the guard to step in and take her father's place.As Angela made her way outside, the female guests were already waiting with anticipation to see the wedding gown. When she finally appeared, gasps filled the air. Eyes widened, and phones came out immediately."She's stunning!" One woman whispered, as several others frantically snapped pictures of her gown, each trying to capture every detail of the intricate design.Many women exchanged envious glances, their smiles genuine but tinged with the smallest hint of jealousy."I need t

"I love you, Antonio...and I am lucky...to have met you accidentally. It was a disappointment at first, but it's a blessing. You are not a Monster, you are ANTONIO MONTERO incredibly handsome playful caring and sweet in bed...my man".Antonio scoffed and looked away from her."He blushes a lot too".She smiled back at him.Antonio's face turned more red."Stop, Angel, I get it".He looked away then slowly back to her.Angela tilted her head, her heart full of compassion. "You deserve to heal," she replied, her voice firm yet tender. "We both do. And we can't do that if you keep punishing yourself for the past."Antonio exhaled deeply, still maintaining her eye contact.Her forgiveness was more than he felt he deserved, but it was also the lifeline he didn't know he needed. Slowly, he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a tight embrace.Angela hugged him back, resting her head against his chest, listening to the rapid beat of his heart."I love you, Angela...more than you can
"You know Angela, you have a nice voice, the problem is we, the singles, don't want to hear it sweetie!"Courtney's voice came from outside the door."I should have lodged in a suite or something. I just thought maybe Antonio is a changed man now, proved me wrong! Silly fox!"She stormed away.Antonio and Angela looked at each other shocked at what just happened, then they laughed at themselves quietly."I love you".Angela kissed him."I love you more".Antonio replied and held her tightly."About Hinata....can we visit her tomorrow?"Angela spoke against his skin, sandwiched by his chest and arms."Of course....we will talk to my Mexican family too, they are worried about her and dying to meet you".Angela smiled back.****Antonio stirred awake in the middle of the night, his mind spinning some memories he hadn't been able to access for years.The dream he had just awoken from was vivid, like pieces of a puzzle falling into place. He lay still for a moment, his body tense, and his h
He was ashamed to let it go so soon, but it was impossible to hold back.Angela melted down on the bed, then she heard loud hisses and groans. Too weak and drained, she closed her eyes and smiled, knowing what happened.A few seconds, she opened her eyes and found Antonio's face flushed with embarrassment."I ...don't know what happened. I am sorry for this"."It's celibacy, nothing to be ashamed of, honey. Look at that big pool of cream. Five years, did ever you jerk off?" she giggled."I had a lot to worry about".He laughed a bit of relief."My body is so tired, it's your fault, let me clean you up. Come over here, don't be shy".She sounded drunk and put her hair up. No one says an orgasm can make one talk drunkenly.Antonio walked to the bed and offered himself to her."Hey you big boy, we meet again"She bit her lower lip and giggled at his long shaft."You are talking to it?"Antonio asked amused."It's mine, you have any problem with that?"She pouted angrily.Antonio raised
Antonio kissed her again, this time more fiercely, more urgently, as if he couldn't get enough of her. His hands moved to her waist, then lower to the soft curve of her butt. Angela gasped as he gave her a squeeze and grabbed her tightly down there, pulling her even tighter against him, their bodies pressed so close that she could feel his hard shaft poking and getting all excited for her.Noticing that, caused her inside to melt, and her juices started dripping."I can't wait anymore, Angel".Antonio breathed hotly against her ear, then he returned to claim her lips again..With a swift motion, Antonio lifted her, carrying her to the bed, never breaking the kiss. He laid her gently on the bed, his body hovering over hers. "Angel".He whispered her name huskily.Angela's bosom rose and fell with anticipation, her eyes locked on his, waiting impatiently, her lips slightly opened.Kneeling between her thighs, he carefully spread her legs, his hands hooking under her hips, then reach
"When?""You will meet her soon, I know you will love her".He replied to Gabi."We look forward to it, son," Lucas said warmly. "Take care of yourself and your family."*******Standing at the balcony, Angela dialed Yuki, who answered almost immediately. "Angela!" Yuki's voice was bright and filled with relief. "How are you? I have been dead worried, oh my goodness!""I'm okay, Yuki," Angela said with a smile. "Is everything alright over there? How are the kids?"Yuki's voice softened."They're great. Don't worry, they've been asking about you all day. I'll put them on the phone."Angela's heart swelled with relief and happiness as she heard the excited voices of her twins and little Antonio Junior in the background."Mummy!" the teenagers shouted in unison, their joy palpable through the phone.Angela's eyes filled with tears, but they were happy tears this time. "Hey, my babies!" she said, her voice trembling slightly. "I miss you all so much.""We miss you too, Mum!" Lia said. "
