DEATH WISH

As soon as the door opened, Angela screamed in anticipation at accomplishing her plan, then her hands hung in the air, eyes and mouth in shock when she 

saw an aged woman probably in her 70s carried on a wheelchair, followed by two bodyguards.

The gold necklace on her neck and her outfit was proof enough that the old woman is not just a rich woman but must be from a long line of wealthy families,still she had this friendly smiling eyes and humble expression when their eyes met.

Her red hair was still fresh as a baby's and her green eyes were the most beautiful.

Angela came to the conclusion that she must have been the most beautiful lady in her generation.

Could it be, Former Miss World,six times beauty queen and the very own grandma of Antonio Montero!

Angela was too stunned to shout but inside she was screaming her head off, her late mother was a fan of this Icon!

Angela’s curious eyes wandered from the young maid behind her to the two fierce looking men in suits and serious looking shades and earphones hooked to their left ears.

They were all staring at her, each of them wearing a confused look on their faces.

Her face flushed with embarrassment and ear tips pink. 

 “Just checking the vase out” she chuckled awkwardly and put the vase back, nervously stocked the flowers she had pulled out back into the vase.

The maid pushed the wheelchair into the room and one of the scary men with her shut the door behind him.

Angela felt that bang in her chest.

“Good..good day ma’am”.

Angela greeted her awkwardly with a smile but it faded away quickly as soon as Antonio entered the room.

"There you are sweetie!"

He shouted with his hands spread widely approaching her.

Angela prayed for the patient to keep up with his act.

Suddenly she gasped with an unexpected awareness as she felt his hands wrapped around her waist, curiously she looked at him and found him smiling broadly at her like nothing had happened.

 Irritated, Angela thought of swifting her waist away from his grip but then he leaned closer and even lower to Angela’s height, his blue eyes lightening as he mocked her with them. 

"What do you think you are doing?”

Angela said between clamped teeth, her tummy tightened and her breath fastened, suddenly she felt her inside burning and beads of sweat summoned on her forehead. 

The fresh scent of his aftersave swept through her nose, and his hot breath created a wave of sensations in her. 

He was unapologetically torturing her with his sexually, even though she hates him , it's abnormal not to feel this way with a man like Tony Montero and this undisputed fact made her hate him even more. 

His lips pressed against her skin beneath her ear, his lips touching her skin slightly.

Irritated, Angela pulled her head back trying to avoid his skinship and her eyes became unfocused. 

Antonio smiled at her little act of being irritated by him and thought about featuring her in a movie set together with him.

She must be a good actor indeed.

 He never ever had this difficulty in seducing a woman and her persistent act of not wanting him made him doubt her realness.

“Don’t you toy with me”.

Angela sneered.

“No more arguing, get into character this instant”.

He whispered.

 "I hate you".

 She mouthed inaudibly. 

"Say it again,I dare you". 

He demanded huskily.

 As soon as she opened her mouth, he covered hers with his, slowly he caressed every part of her mouth, lingering over the softness behind her lips and sliding delicacy of her tongue, it was a moment he forced himself to let go. Angela’s eyes widened as she froze in shock at the unexpected kiss. It was her very first kiss,stolen by this…man she hated so much.

Then with a hand by the side holding her waist he leaned over and whispered to her.

"Just keep smiling,let me do the talking"he murmured through clenched teeth.

“Is everything alright?”

His grandma queried after noticing their body language.

“Of Course grandma, we are just clearing things up, right sweetie”.

His finger dug into her waist.

Angela flashed her teeth awkwardly and nodded.

She gave Antonio a long side glance, and thought of how perfect he would have been if he wasn't such a spoiled brat and incredible jerk.

 His nearly carved beard and jawline was the most perfect combo, his Adam's apple made him look even sexier as they moved each time he chuckled at the questions thrown at him by his grandmother and his dimple deepened alongside. 

His thick brows and eyebrows made him incredibly attractive and his blue eyes gave him an angelic look.

"My dearest,you two look lovely together and Antonio I am happy that you made a great choice,if it's not her I was planning on disapproving any of those sluts you always bring home. I thought you would pay a lady to act like a bride but I was very happy to see she is a modest looking young woman”.

Antonio let go of Angela, he went over there and kissed his grandma on the cheeks.

"Grandma please don't embarrass me".

His grandma coughed out laughter.

Afterwards he straightened up and gave Angela a cold stare, while standing by the side of his grandmother.

“Darling I am so happy that you are here, we have to prepare for the wedding”.

Her gentle words cut in between Angela’s thoughts.

"Ma’am .. I can’t ..”

"I know dearest,my grandson… Well, he is someone I would say is very uninterested in his love life. I would also react the same way if I were in your shoes and possibly won't give him a yes! But you did yesterday, I am grateful”.

“Ma’am there’s a misunderstanding…”

Angela tried to explain but was interrupted again.

"He is a hard one but look he is my grandson and believe me,he is a lovely youngman and I can't express how happy I am that he has chosen someone like you out of all the women he has been with and without ego he had to propose to you even in your hometown".

Angela became impatient .

"Ma'am there is a mistake…I was drunk and...."

"I have only months left..."

The sad tone in the old woman's voice froze her.

"My only wish is to see him happy before I go. It's not easy. I understand how rude and disrespectful he might be.I believe you can change that. Please, my dearest, fulfil this poor old woman's death wish".

“Did she say death wish? What have I gotten myself into?"

Angela muttered to herself.
