Grandma Elizabeth, in her wheelchair, moved down the corridor of the Montero clinic, pushed gently by Antonio's cousin Courtney. Courtney had been staying at the Montero's as a support to her Grandma since Antonio gone crazy over the disappearance of Angela.The poor old woman needed her now more than ever, and she made sure to be there for her.“Did you get any information from the maid in Antonio’s Mansion, today?”Grandma Elizabeth asked Courtney as they stroll through the red carpeted hallway heading to the clinic.“Yes I did, and …(paused sadly) it wasn't a good news Grandma, the men came back with absolute no results concerning Angela nor that bitch Diana”.“And Antonio? How was he feeling about all this?"“No one has been sent to the clinic again…. I guess it's not that bad or could it have gotten worse?” Courtney asked.Grandma Elizabeth sighed."Poor Fox. His rage has surprisingly grown cold, and I wonder how he manages his emotions at this time”.“The maid confirmed that h
"Doris, please. Kerry is genuinely worried about Angela. She was held against her will and tortured by Antonio. She’s desperate to find her sister”.Courtney replied.Another silence came from Doris's end.Courtney slapped her forehead in frustration.“Are you still there, please this is important,we are all worried about Angela”.When Doris spoke again, her voice was skeptical. "And why should I believe that from a Montero? Kerry has always been trouble to Angela, she is a mother yet she carelessly messes around with anything in pants and even ignores her own babies,Kerry is bad news. I don't know what she told you but she is not a good sister to Angela,she never was."Courtney took a deep breath. "I understand your feelings, Doris. But Kerry is here with us, and she's changed. She is worried and she needs your help,if you know where Angela is, please do tell us..you will be rewarded handsomely…and I promise Antonio won't know of this"“Fine”.Doris snapped.“Fine?”Courtney asked,
Doris took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves.“Well, we can't let him know you are here. Go stay with the kids and lock the door. Don't come out no matter what," Doris instructed her. “I'll find out what he wants.”Angela nodded, sneaking into the twin's room and locked the door after her.However, she pressed her ear to the window, straining to hear what was happening outside.Meanwhile, Antonio stepped out of the lead car, his face concealed with anger. His men fanned out, securing the perimeter as he marched up to the front door.Doris met him at the entrance, her expression bold.“Mr. Antonio Montero. What are you doing here? This neighborhood is peaceful”.Antonio's eyes were cold as he looked at her.“Where is Angela?”Doris crossed her arms, matching his gaze with her own fierce expression.“I told you before on the phone, Mr. Antonio, I don't know where she is. I should be the one asking you that, where is my friend Angela? What have you done to her?”Antonio took a
If yes, then what is Damon up to?Why did he lie to Angela about Antonio?However, that's for later. Now she had to keep lying or else.“I am sorry, unfortunately I am being sincere, I haven't heard from Angela”.She sobbed and pretended to be sad.Antonio stared at her for a moment in disappointment, then turned away.“I apologize for all this… I promise to bring Angela back, the twins and Jace… I won't let anyone harm any one of them, I give you my word”.He said quietly and walked towards his car.The head of his security signaled the rest of his men to follow. Doris watched in silence as the convoy of cars pulled out of the compound.As soon as the last one was out of the compound, she allowed herself to exhale, the tension slowly draining from her body.She returned to the living room only to see her sister waiting anxiously. “Who the hell was that?”“It's… Antonio”.Doris muttered, trying to figure something out."Who?”Her sister interrupted her thoughts.“Just go back to bed
"It's all clear now, it wasn't Antonio who killed Jace," Doris had said, her voice laced with a mix of anger. "It was Damon! He manipulated you and made Antonio the monster to get you on his side."“I thought this was all Antonio's idea,I …I did it because I was so angry he had us captured…and Jace ..I ... .I don't know what to say Doris…”.Angela sobbed with a hand over her face.Doris was restless thinking about the next possible step, a way to fix this.“This is bad..Angela…Antonio is going to be framed by Damon and you helped him! Do you have any idea how much you've hurt him already?”She said pacing up and down in front of Angela, who sat on the couch sobbing loudly.“I…did it to pay back…I thought he killed Jace..I…I…I am so stupid”.She cried out.How could she have been so blind?Her thoughts raced back to the moments she'd spent with Damon back at Diana's captive building when he released her from her bondage, his smooth lies that she fell for.She imagined a vivid image of
Antonio pushed open the heavy oak door of his mansion, the grand foyer echoing with the hollow sound of his footsteps. The guard, who had come to open the door for him, bowed instantly.“Welcome back, young master”.The maids greeted him.Antonio ignored as usual as he ascended the grand staircase, each step a reminder of his life that was now in shambles. His thoughts were a chaotic swirl of anger, betrayal, and sadness as he reached the landing and turned towards his room.His guards bowed with their heart palpitations louder than ever.Pushing open the door, he was surprised to see a familiar figure seated in the corner.“What are you doing here?” Antonio's voice came out cold with a mix of surprise, cracking slightly under the strain of his emotions.Grandma Elizabeth, with her silver hair neatly pulled back into a bun, looked up at him with compassionate eyes. She noticed his face tight with frowns but those red eyes…he cried.She had always been his pillar of strength for ye
Her eyes never left Antonio, as she visualized him little, in front of her apologizing to her about his childish carelessness with his broken toys, like the old times.“Grandma I broke my toy, it's broken, I am sorry… I am so sorry, don't tell mommy and daddy, please”.Little Antonio cried, showing her his broken horse rider toyHe had thousands of them, yet he cared about one this much?“Aww fox, we can get a new one, it's not your fault, we all make mistakes, we can get hundreds of those, so you don't have to blame yourself if you accidentally broke anyone, you can just replace it”.“But I don't want a new one, my horse rider will be lonely and abandoned”.“I think you are right, we can fix that, what do you say?”“I love you Grandma, you are the best”.He was the sweetest, not until his parents died, and he was exploited.Hot tears finally spilling over, not on her face but Antonio's.That brought her back to the present time.Surprisingly, he let them fall heavily, no longer tryin
“Can you believe it, Antonio apologized sincerely to me."Elizabeth cuts into her thoughts and smiled faintly.Her heart swelling with pride and hope.“What?”Courtney snapped in a whisper.Grandma Elizabeth nodded as they continued down the hall.The guards bowed when they walked past the hallway. Courtney didn't ignore to notice the new improvement in Antonio's mansion.The walls were adorned with portraits of Angela.“He misses her badly, I never thought Antonio could feel such strong emotions”.Courtney said, reacting to those pictures on the wall.“Angela has no idea what she has done to my little fox, and to me… I really wish I could see her again”.Mama Elizabeth replied."Of course Grandma she is out there so
