“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
Doris helped Angela gather essential belongings, moving swiftly yet quietly to avoid drawing attention.“Now the kids”.Doris said.Angela nodded and walked towards the twin's bedroom.In the soft glow of dawn filtering through the curtains, Angela gently shook Liya and Lia awake. The twins stirred, blinking sleepily as they sat up in their beds, rubbing their eyes.“Good morning, my darlings,” Angela whispered, her voice warm and soothing.Lia yawned, stretching her arms above her head. “Good morning”.“Good morning, Angela, I missed you last night”.Liya said sadly hugging her stuffed animal which Doris had gifted them, the night before.“I am so sorry, honey, and you two sweethearts”.Angela kissed each of them on their forehead and sat on the edge of the bed, her gaze tender as she looked at both girls. “Forgiven me yet?”The twins nodded with a smile.Doris entered the room.“Oh my pumpkins, you are awake”.She bellowed in delight.“Good morning, Aunt Doris”.“I hope my princes
“What's happening? Not now grandma please not now”.Courtney said in her mind,as her heart raced faster than ever.They arrived at Grandma Elizabeth’s room.Courtney’s breath hitched in her throat as she hurried to her grandmother’s side.Who was lying there, pale and motionless.She gently shook her hand. “Nonna, please, wake up,” she pleaded, her voice cracking.She didn't move an eye lid.“Come on grandma,please I am begging you,you were perfectly fine last night.. please”.Courtney sobbed but she remained motionless.Courtney turned to the maids, panic rising in her chest with tears flooding her face. “Get Dr Norman here immediately,” she ordered.The maids nodded and quickly left to carry out her instructions. Courtney took Grandma Elizabeth’s cold hand, holding it tightly as she willed her to wake up.“Please, Nonna, please,” she whispered, as tears continued flooding down her face.“Who did you leave Antonio to? What will he do if he gets to hear this…We need you now”.Minut
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
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. "
