Antonio kept crying silently with his brows arched without saying a single word. If not for the tears, one would have thought he was just frowning.It melted her heart, she didn't know when she started crying all over again.“Antonio, why are you crying?”She held his wet face with her small palms.“Please, … .don't cry, Antonio”.At this point, she wasn't even thinking of herself, but this man…this man who almost killed her a minute ago.Why does she care so much about his pain.“Kill me Angela, that's only I can be truly happy, and you will be free too, don't worry…no one will know…there’s a glove…we can think of something…”.He grinned.Angela recognized that mischievous grin but those eyes…those pathetic eyes were unrecognizable…tears were still full in them dropping.Angela shook her head in tears, her hand was still on his wet face.“I will pay you a lifetime fortune….that's the only I can be happy…I have to die…”“I can't hurt you, Antonio”.Antonio held her shoulders and shook
She whispered and stroked his lower lip.She slowly got up from him, she could feel her body hurting from the back.I hope it wasn't a bad wound back there, she thought and walked slowly into the bathroom and in the tub.Antonio opened his eyes that instant.He heard Angela hissing out in pain, and he had to cover his ears with the pillow.“I wanted her to be mine, but now I really wanted to let her go…I will be nothing to her but a pain in the ass… Literally”.He scoffed and cleaned the tears under his eyes.“I am so pathetic, what was I thinking crying like that in front of a woman, worse a woman whom I abused? She was the one consoling me instead, what a way to go, Antonio…like she will actually understand your feelings”.He covered his face, then slowly glanced towards the bathroom door.Angela heard footsteps and stopped her wincing sound.Antonio drew the curtain.“Antonio…”“I will clean you up…”he said, slowly taking her leg.Angela panicked.“No, don't worry, I was just going
The next morning, Angela woke up only to find Antonio all dressed up watching her from the opposite couch.She gasped out in surprise and quickly hid under the duvet.Her cheeks immediately burned with shyness.“His stare is always very intimidating, and why was he up and watching me like that, it scared me”.She murmured.Antonio smirked at her reaction, then stood up.“I want to take you home, get ready”.He turned to leave the room.Angela pulled the duvet off her face.“Wait, why? The contact isn't over yet, are you trying to get rid of me!”She snapped with arched brows.Antonio paused and turned to his side to face her.“Don't you want to see your nieces? I thought you must have been longing to see them”.He glanced at her.“Oh… I…well. I …do .miss them”.Angela replied embarrassed, she slowly pulled her hair strand to the back of her ears.Antonio pulled the cigar on his fingers.“I will wait outside”.He replied softly and walked out of the room.Angela sighed heavily and fell
“What mother? You? How sweet of you to give yourself the mother tittle, yet you hardly spend time with them or listen to their childish needs! All you do is change men like you change clothes.”She snapped back angrily.“And what the hell is wrong with that, am I the only single mother in the world, can’t I have a little freedom, the twins are old enough to be alone, they're playing happily so what’s your problem with me having a male lover, virgin?” Kerry defended.That drew Antonio's attention to them.“Virgin? Well, thanks to me, you won't be humbled by such statements anymore” Antonio said to himself, reacting to the name-calling.Angela stole a glance at Antonio after Kerry’s outburst and said nothing, a bit shy that he might have heard her sister.“Kerry, that's enough…you have to stop this…”.“Sop what? Being the hated member of this family, even my kids hate me!”She snapped loudly.“What the hell are you talking about?”Angela snapped, then she paused and glanced towards the
She clenched her teeth nervously, fingers crossed.She walked into the living room and found Antonio and a young man dressed in white shirt and jeans having a dead stare battle.He was almost unrecognizable to her.“Sean?” Angela gasped.Antonio's gaze shifted from Sean to Angela's excited face.Sean stood up, spread his arms with a broad smile and walked towards her.Angela turned all red as she hugged him…Antonio watched from afar as she welcomed the visitor while his dark eyes kept monitoring his body language towards Angela intently, not missing anything.Angela could literally feel her heart pounding against her breastbone, she cursed softly.“How am I going to explain to Antonio, I didn't see this coming”.She looked back at Antonio and back to Sean absentmindedly.“Is everything okay with you, Angela?”Sean asked as his lips curled back to display a shockingly set of strong white teeth.She blinked, then forced a smile back nervously.“Yes…I am just…I mean, look at you…you are
His eyes went to Sean's hand on Angela's shoulder, back to Sean's confused face.Angela and Sean exchanged glances.“Sorry…I am confused, I don't get you”.Sean mouthed and scuffed an anxious chuckle.Antonio rolled his eyes, pulled a hand out from his pants pocket, in a swift he grabbed on Angela's thin wrist and pulled her to him.“Do you understand now?”His deep, thunderous voice could literally scare a lion out of his jungle.Angela was dying inside because of shyness…but also very excited that he was reacting in that way because of her. He is jealous. She smiled secretly to herself.“Oh my apologies…I didn't mean to”.Sean stuttered embarrassed, then he noticed Angela's uncomfortableness.“I think you are hurting her with that grip” Sean warned.“How is that your problem, just friend? She told you that my grip hurts her?”“Hey man, that's not cool, that's not how real gentlemen behave around women”.Sean snapped pointing at him.“Sean”.Angela wanted to step forward, but Antonio
“You want Angela's permission?”Lia asked with a questioning brow, her magic ward pointing at Angela.“I know why, she's the Queen!”Liya gasped.“Isn’t the king superior to the queen?”Her sister whispered back.“That's true”.Liya agreed.Antonio eyes were on Angela, trying to lead her body language, but it wasn't clear whether she wanted him to stay or not. He wondered if she was still angry, she didn't give him a reply.Then Angela said slowly and stood up to her feet.“I will go make lunch”.Angela tried not to meet his eyes.“Can you please stay with the twins while I make lunch, Mr. Antonio?”Antonio felt more uncertain after that statement. He was too busy calculating, so he didn't reply as soon as she asked.“I think it will be more encouraging if you don't use his name, he is your fiancé, be more sweet”.Lia said cutely, hugging her magic ward as an expression.Angela was stunned by that statement and extremely embarrassed, while Antonio was trying not to laugh out loud.“We
“Angela! Your phone is ringing!” She heard one of the twins yell out from the living room. Angela dropped the vegetables she was chopping and dried her hands with a kitchen towel before heading to the living room. The phone rang again and Lia gave it to her. “Thanks honey”. Angela smiled at her little niece before she answered the phone. Although she wasn't looking at him, she was sure that Antonio was paying attention to her call. “What! You are here at my place?” Angela panicked. Antonio glanced at her, wondering if the caller was Damon. Doris opened the door the same minute and screamed in a deafening high pitch loudly as soon as she sighted Antonio. “Doris?” Angela called surprised to see her before she could say another word. Doris's cousin sister Patra peeked into the room like a shy kid peeking at a visitor, then she went into a crazy high note with her scream. The fan girl was putting on a crop top with Antonio's face boldly printed on it, exposing her tummy with th
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. "
