Antonio stared out the tinted window of the black Mercedes he was in, on his way to the Montero's Mansion. Courtney's words echoed in his mind.Her warning regarding Damon and the plan they made to win this fight.He pressed his fingers to his temple, the dull ache in his head was getting worse with each passing minute.It wasn't very easy to get it all together, especially with the fact that he is unsure of Hinata's situation at the moment.He still got his phone in his hand, hoping that he could at least hear her voice.So he would know that she is alive at least.The personal driver given to him by Courtney navigated the quiet streets, his hands held steady on the wheel, eyes flicking occasionally to the rearview mirror, while two of the Montero's security guards flanked him, ensuring enough security.Antonio should have felt safe. Yet, an unease lingered in the pit of his stomach, a sixth sense warning him about a danger.He sighed deeply."Maybe I am just getting tensed up and
When they arrived, the Montero's Mansion. The buildings were staged on a tall mountain from the rest of the city, no wonder it was called the Montero's world. It was another city on its own from the rest of the word. Like an empire!The biggest thing Antonio has seen in the last years after his memory loss.The servants and maids were nowhere to be found. They have been instructed to stay indoors by their new master.Antonio's head throbbed as he was shoved through a pair of heavy iron doors, the metal groaning on its hinges. The hands that gripped his arms were rough, pushing him down a dimly lit corridor like a common servant. He was at least relieved he would see Hinata again.When they got to a particular hallway. The walls of the place were familiar and the faint scent of cigar smoke triggering fragments of memories that Antonio couldn't fully grasp. His instincts screamed at him that he had been here before. However, he just couldn't remember anything.Unknown to him, the h
"You know as long as you're alive, I'll never be the heir and finally take over this world. I've waited too long for this moment, ever since I was old enough to want something else than your little hole.""Excuse me?"Antonio replied with a disgust expression on his face.Damon didn't repeat himself."Whatever that is about, I don't care to know. Let Hinata go...we made a deal...let the girl go!"Antonio snapped, not minding the two hands of the masked man holding him down by the shoulder and another pinning his wrists at his back.Damon's eyes shot at him."Don't you get it? The moment people found out you were still alive, everything I built started to crumble. Some of those servants still see you as the rightful leader.They whisper about the glory days under Antonio, about how the true heir will return and reclaim his throne. The media are talking about your legendary return".His replied with eye roll and his voice laced with hate. "So, you brought me here to finish the job you
"Forgiveness? From them? How pathetic," Damon's laughter echoed, filling the room.Before Antonio could respond, the heavy door creaked open, and one of Damon's men walked in, dragging naked Hinata behind him. Her wrists were shackled, and a metal collar clung to her neck, linked by chains that glinted in the faint light in the room.Her legs were visibly weak and shaking. She looked terrified, her eyes pleading silently with Antonio as if he were her only hope. Her pale body red with sores, she was almost unrecognizable."Hinata".Antonio whispered, he could feel his heartbreaking bit by bit.Damon's grin widened. "Looks like your girlfriend has joined the party," he sneered, as his men shoved Hinata to the floor at Damon's feet, treating her like a captured animal.Antonio's heart clenched in fury at the sight of Hinata bound like a slave, but he remained still, knowing that any rash action could worsen the situation. "Let her go, you don't have to do this....she has done noth
Damon's smirk deepened, his eye contact with Antonio getting more tense."Leave us," he ordered the guards with a hand rised up in command.The guards hesitated for a moment, exchanging uncertain looks, but they knew better than to question him.One by one, they filed out of the room, the heavy door closing behind them with a loud thud, locked from the outside, leaving Damon, Antonio, and Hinata alone in the suffocating silence.Antonio's eyes followed the last guard as he exited, every muscle in his body coiled with tension. He knew that whatever Damon had planned, it was about to get much worse.Damon, still holding the chain that bound Hinata, walked back to his throne like chair.His expression shifted to darker, more serious.He pulled the chain and Hinata tried to stand on her feet, but she couldn't.A gunshot was enough to get her up to her wiggling feet.Antonio's eyes widened in reaction to Damon's scare shot at Hinata.He looked like someone who had never seen one of those
Antonio tried to fire the gun, but it was empty. Damon laughed. "You really think I will give you a loaded gun?"Damon took a few steps toward Antonio, swinging his fist, hitting him hard. Antonio stumbled and fell, but still holding on to Hinata."How pathetic!""Where is my sister, Damon! Where is my friend Doris?"A familiar voice wept.Damon's head whipped around, following the voice. From the shadows of the far corner, a figure was seen crawling with her hands bonded and her legs too.Angela's face was covered with cuts, and dark circles underscored her tear-filled eyes. She looked as though she'd been dragged through hell."Where did you keep them, you demon! Don't you dare hurt my family! Don't you..."Immediately she saw Hinata she paused with her breath caught up in her throat."What did you do? You didn't actually kill her, right?"Her voice trembled."Oh...look, our special guest is finally here with us".Damon mocked, barely glancing at her."What are you doing out of
Angela struggled, turning her face away, tears spilling down her cheeks.Damon laughed, looking over his shoulder at Antonio. "Does it hurt to see me touch her? Does it bother you to watch her suffer?"Antonio's eyes darted to the empty gun on the floor, then to Damon, who was too focused on tormenting Angela to notice.Damon's hand slid under Angela's shirt, and his hands pulled down her purple lace thong.Angela tightened her thighs to stop him, but it was useless."You seem to have gotten wet from my fingers, how long have you been without a man? Did you miss my touch? You get wet for me."His grin widening as Angela sobbed louder, she opened her eyes and met Antonio's gaze.She shook her head."That's not true! I am so sorry, Antonio ... . I didn't mean to.... I.... I am sorry".Damon laughed out loudly thensmacked her on her face.He turned her around and her hair back pressing her face against the wall while he looked at Antonio who was still at the same spot."I'll take her r
Courtney's entrance to the Monteros Mansion was nothing as planned.Apparently, Damon's men outnumbered them and not only that, the leader allowed them to pass the gates with no single attempt to stop them.Their arrival in the mansion was intense unsure of what was kept in store for them.When her driver opened the car door for her, she met the face of the leader grinning at her like she was some kind of joke."Where is Antonio?"Courtney asked bravely.Her men surrounded her with weapons in arms.The leader's wandered around the faces of her protectors then gazed over Courtney's shoulder to the tall guard behind her. His eyes widened at the recognition."What do we have here? Leonardo".He grinned and walked closer to the man who could be assumed as the leader of Courtney's men.He was with Damon's group until this very moment, trying to win as many men as possible for the Montero's family.Leonardo held the leader's eye contact with the coldness of a soldier."You were the spy amo
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. "
