The next morning, Angela woke up and opened her eyelids slowly, her eyes went to the fluffy white mass gathered above her.
How pretty it reminded her of the clouds.
She tossed it on the bed,it felt more comfortable than her bed.
She groaned slowly, as a hammering sensation ached in her temple region then slowly turned her head to the side, and the blue sky beyond the window and the curtains reassured her that she wasn't dead yet.
Her blurry gaze continued wandering from the king size bed with royal purple curtains to every corner of the room as she tried to think or remember where she was and she got to that place but the harder she concentrated, the harder her confusion became.
She then decided to sit up and see if it can help with her stressed brain.
Her glance shifted to the opposite direction only to see a giant man in black suit on a giant royal chair, his legs crossed in a masculine manner and a hand resting on his jaw , head tilted to the side, his position reminding her of those hot vampires from webtoons.
His eyes were so dark and that evil smirk on his face,he must’ve been watching her sleep.
"Who are you!"
She snapped,her eyes wide open, startled and scared to death.
“I should be the one asking the questions here, who the heck are you….?”he snarled,his laser-beam gaze piercing into her eyes.
“Eh?”
Angela gasped more confused that she had been before.
Antonio stood up and made to approach her.
Suddenly Angela’s eyes grew big with shock like she just saw a ghost when she realised the man in front of her.
“Oh my goodness ! He is Antonio Montero”.
She muttered to herself in panic.
“Don’t come close to me! Stay away, I am warning you! I am no fragile woman! I got a weapon in here, how did you get into my room?”
She snapped out.
“Look around you bitch, this ain’t no pig pen of yours, you are in my house”.
He suddenly cursed a hand slapped on his face.
“I can’t believe I am talking to some..low life”.
“Pig pen?..…”
Angela muttered a bit annoyed at the offensive words then suddenly paused and looked around the room.
The expensive curtains,the king size bed and large space in the bedroom, this is not her bedroom!
How did she end up with a man in a bedroom not to talk of a man like Tony Montero!
Her eyes widened and her hand covered her mouth as a loud gasp escaped from her lips.
“Where am I? How did I get here?”
She realised her clothes had changed too.
“What happened to my clothes please don’t tell me you changed my clothes”.
“Oh please there's nothing in that body of yours that could definitely turn a man on, not to talk of me", he continued to mock her with a calm tone that even annoys her the more, " clothes don't hide beautiful figures,you don't have one so don't worry I am not interested,you dream too big by the way, you are like a 3, I will never hit that".
Angela’s jaw dropped at the statement.
How rude can he be! How can someone so good looking be lacking character?
"I would have believed that if it wasn't coming from a pervert and a womaniser who sleeps with everything on a skirt,”Angela sneered.
Antonio lifted one dark eyebrow in a mocking arch.
"Do you expect me to believe you've never had your clothes taken off by a man before? What are you, a thirteen year old virgin?"
"I ..have been undressed… undressed by ..men ..a man…before…my boyfriend actually "she lied , "not a stranger who decided to do it by himself without my consent that’s sexual assault”.
“You wish….women like you would kill to have me take your dirty clothes off your little slutty body”.
"Oh my gosh you’re right,I am really lucky, so lucky don't you see me crying because of joy?”
She replied sarcastically.
"Quit acting like you don't like being in the same room with me, it's everything that you've ever dream off, sharing a room with a hot idol and young billionaire as famous as me and knowing that almost every woman in the world would like to take your place,is a pretty powerful aphrodisiac, not even a fairy godmother can make such dreams come true".
A little sense of responsibility and respect didn’t appeal to this man…it was written all over his good looking face.
He is nothing like Kerry and her crazy friends had described him to be,she thought.
When Antonio saw she was having a silent mental breakdown.
“The maid got you changed, believe me there’s nothing interesting in your body, I would puke”.
“That’s a very rude thing to say Mr…Antony”.
“Antonio…”he corrected,”You messed up my proposal, what were you expecting, a Queen’s treatment?”
“I’m sorry, excuse me?”
Angela blinked, unsure if she heard those words right.
“I messed up what?”
“You don’t remember anything from last night, do you?”
He asked.
“No I don’t”.
She replied slowly.
“Maybe the diamond on your finger will ring a bell”.
“Diamond?”
Angela muttered absentmindedly then her eyes got a glimpse of a sparkling object on her finger, her heart skipped.
She looked at it, her eyes almost burst out of the sockets, terrified.
“A ring!”
She yelled out like a handicapped victim in a horror movie.
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.
