Antonio's fists flew with a fury that left the guards staggering and disoriented, their bodies crumpling under his relentless blows. None of them fought back.They won't dare.The maids, witnessing the terrifying scene, huddled together in fear, their faces pale and eyes wide, praying that his rage won't be transferred to them.As Courtney and the maids who informed her about Antonio neared the scene, the sounds of Antonio's rage on the helpless guards grew louder and louder.The sickening thud of fists meeting flesh, the loud grunts of pain from the guards, coupled with the harsh, ragged breathing of the angry fox consumed by grief and anger. Finally, they got to the place, the other maids in the room wore an expression of relief as soon as they saw her.“Lady Courtney!”They ran behind her using her for a shield.“Antonio…”.Courtney whispered, her eyes glistening wet, seeing him like that was more heartbreaking.She had always judged him whenever he went wild but this time she ca
“I'm so sorry sir,” he said quietly, his voice tinged with sorrow. “We couldn't save her. She… she passed away a few moments ago, she was poisoned…”.The words hung in the air, heavy, and suffocating. Antonio stood frozen, his mind struggling to process the devastating truth. The room seemed to tilt, the walls closing in around him. The doctor closed his eyes expecting a hit, something, anything, but there was no single sound heard.He slowly opened his eyes to see Antonio walking towards his grandma's bed.The doctors and nurses immediately exit the bedside like a water splash“Poison?”He asked…“Yes…yes sir”.Why will anyone poison Grandma Elizabeth, and what could they aim to achieve with it?“No…”Antonio chuckled slowly.His grandmother, the one person who could calm his storms, who had been his anchor, was gone.“You are joking”.He laughed out loudly.The nurses lowered their heads, crying silently.Suddenly, a loud guttural cry of anguish tore from his throat, a raw, primal
“Summon all the maids who attended to my grandmother's chambers! Every last one of them! I want them here, now!”The guards scrambled to obey, rushing out of the room to fetch the maids. Antonio's eyes blazed with a fierce intensity, his mind racing with suspicion and anger. Who among them had betrayed Montero's trust? Who had poisoned grandmother?The maids arrived, their faces were pale and frightened.Antonio's gaze swept over them like a storm.“This is all of them?”His voice came loudly.“We caught some of them sneaking out of Montero's Mansion, my Lord”.One of the guards answered.“I see, you want to run away, huh?”He smirked at them.“No…no, young master, please forgive us”.The maid chorused as they shook their heads continuously, unable to make eye contact, their body trembling. “Which one of you did it?” he growled, his voice low and menacing. “Which one of you dared to harm my grandmother?”The maids trembled, their eyes darting nervously at each other. “N-no one, m
Angela stepped off the plane with a deep breath, feeling the cool air of Japan against her skin. The twins, Liya and Lia, bounded ahead with the energy only ten-year-olds could muster after a long flight. Angela kept a close eye on them as they navigated through the bustling airport.“Stay close, girls,” she called, adjusting her bag on her shoulder. They were here at last.After passing through customs and retrieving their luggage, Angela led the way to the taxi stand. She felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. Doris had assured her that staying with her friend, Yuki, would be a smooth transition, but Angela couldn't get rid of her lingering anxiety.Most especially, she can't stop thinking about her brother each time she sees a random energetic teenage boy “Girls, wait! That's our taxi”.Angela called the twins running around as she saw a man with a board sign with her name written on it.The twins ran towards the man before she could get there.“Hello, I am Angela…sorry I
Antonio was sitting in the police car,,he had plans of course but his mind can't seem to process why Diana's death was linked to him. And also that video of Angela. She had testified against him being a monster and trying to kill her.Also Jace?She mentioned that Jace is dead!What the fuck happened?Is this just empty accusations to get rid of him?Why would she go this far?Was she threatened?How did they get the video?Is her brother really dead?Is she okay after that video?Alot was running in his mind,but all his instincts were pointing at Damon.He is the one behind it all. However Antonio promised himself that he will get to the bottom of this.As the police car veered off the expected route. Antonio's attention was drawn back to reality.Glancing out the window, he realized they were heading in the opposite direction from the supposed police station.His patience snapped. Heleaned forward, his voice sharp with anger, "Where are you taking me? This isn't the way to the st
However before Damon could act, the faint rumble of engines grew louder, cutting through the stillness like a thunderclap on the horizon. Damon’s eyes flickered with shock as he glanced toward the source of the noise.Suddenly, the area was flooded with the roaring sound of power bikes and sleek, black cars. One by one, they emerged from the surrounding woods, forming a circle around the helicopter and Damon’s men. The vehicles skidded to a halt, their engines purring menacingly, and doors swung open in unison. Antonio’s mafia men stepped out, each one a figure of lethal precision, clad in sharp suits and dark shades. The sunlight glinted off the weapons they carried with practiced ease—automatic rifles, handguns, and more. Their presence was a stark contrast to Damon’s men, who were now visibly shaken, their earlier confidence wavering in the face of the overwhelming force that had just arrived.The men on power bikes circled the area like vultures, their engines growling as the
Antonio's heart pounded in his chest as he was roughly shoved into the waiting helicopter by two menacing figures,who were once his men.The deafening roar of the helicopter's engines filled the air as he was forced into a seat and his hands were bound tightly behind his back.“This is for the years of torture,you don't know I much I hated your guts. I have always dreamt of killing you with my own hands. Fuck Montero's world!”One of them with a scar running down his cheek by name Xavier, leaned in close and whispered into Antonio's ears.His breath reeks of alcohol and cigars.Antonio said nothing or made any attempt to fight.He knew better not to act smart besides his hands being binded,he is as helpless as a handicapped child.Also the cold metal of a gun pressed into his side, is a stark reminder of the danger he will get himself in,if he acts in any way that doesn't sit well with these men.The night was fast approaching and Antonio had no idea of what else to do to escape this.
Just as the two were fully stripped and ready, a sudden gunshot pierced the night air. The pilot Leonardo pilot stood before them with two guns in hands pointing at the two.“What the hell man,if you want to join them say so!”Xavier snapped angrily.“I don't fuck ass holes,I love women and their pussy.”“Then what's this nonsense about?”“Damon is not my master,this man here may be a spoiled brat and arrogant and proud but I took an oath. I will protect Montero's heir”.“Is this a joke? I can't wait I am as hard as rock,enough with that”Van snapped.“Touch him and you will know if I am a joke or not”.Leonardo replied with a tight expression that warned Van.Antonio was surprised but also relieved,he had someone who still felt pity for him even though he had been cruel to all his men because of his power.“Leonardo..I…”“I am not doing this for you, but your grandma…… and because I like your cousin”.“Courtney?”Antonio asked slowly.He nodded.“Dude you are betraying us because of
