Antonio stormed out of the room. As soon as the door shut loudly, Doctor Phil sighed deeply in relief. He stares at Angela with a frightened look in his eyes. “You have to fight my lady, I am going to die if anything happens to you..please you have to be okay..”. The doctor pressed his wet eyes then turned to the nurses. “Always check her up,I need to get my nerves together,I will be right back”. He instructed. The nurses nodded and watched him leave,their faces pale with sadness. “Doctor Phill looked very scared, I am scared too, what if she doesn’t make it”. The first nurse started a conversation as they removed Angela’s clothes to clean her up. “I have never seen the young master that way, he only visited the emergency room once, that was because of Grandmother Elizabeth”. The second nurse whispered. “She is his fiancé afterall, he may be a heartless man, but I think he does care about her as much as he cares about Grandma Elizabeth”. The third added,the two others agre
Angela cleaned her wet cheeks with the back of her hand and stood up from the bed, she walked slowly towards the door. Antonio grabbed her arm, stopping her.“Where do you think you are going?”He rasped.“To my room”.Angela replied with a tight frown.“You are not strong enough to leave the emergency room,I will advise you to go back to bed and rest”.He said gently.Angela was glaring at him, probably cursing him in her heart.He pressed the back of his palm on her forehead.“Your fever is still very high”.“Get your hands off me”.Angela spat out trying to pull her hand out of his .Triggered Antonio grabbed her small face in his hand, digging his fingers painfully into her cheeks.“You don’t seem to have learnt your lesson, Freckles. Don’t push me, you won’t like the outcome”.He spoke to her face, their eyes staring into each other’s . Angela’s eyes clouded with tears, brows arched tightly in a frown.Antonio’s grip slowly dropped, he turned to the door while Angela crashed on
“It has been two days now,yet Lady Angela has not left her bed.She's been crying all day. She won't even come out of her room. I had brought her food and water, and all the cosines that the dietitians recommended for her but she wouldn't eat or drink at all. She was wasting away, her eyes sunken and her skin pale. I am afraid of what might happen, My lady.”.Courtney sighed.Angela must be crazy,how can she skip meals? She needs food to fill back her energy.“Is Antonio aware of this?”She asked the maid in front of her.Devia shook her head,her eyes downcast.“I am afraid to tell young master Antonio,he won't spare me, thank heavens he has not visited Lady Angela for days now or he’d find out by himself”.Courtney sighed again, she knew she had to do something or Angela's condition would be worse than this. “Please, Lady Courtney help me,I will be in trouble if anything happens to her,I tried to talk to her but she won't give me a listening ear,the doctor is not happy with her prese
In the Montero's servant's quarters,the room was filled with the smell of freshly baked bread and the sound of hushed voices.The maids assigned to Angela were gathered around the kitchen table, talking with serious expression on their faces.The table was covered with a white cloth, and a bowl of green peas sat in the centre. The maids picked at the peas, their eyes downcast. "I'm worried about Lady Angela," one of the maids said, her voice low, she bad a dark hair and green eyes..the youngest amongst them. "She's not eating, and she won't get out of bed.it’s been two days,she just stays in her room all day,straing at the window and crying ." “She just recoverd and the doctord said we need to make sure she eat well and take her drugs,but she won't stop crying”. Another maid, a tall, slender woman with a head of red curls, leaned forward. "I think she's thinking about her family," she said. "I think she misses them terribly."The other maids nodded, their faces sombre. "It's ha
He walked closer to her.“You look exhausted,I think by now you've stopped crying,it's draining you”.He put the cake on the table beside her bed and cut a large portion into a plate.“Your maidservants made this for you specially hoping you will eat,come on take a bite”.Angela ignored him.“I hate being ignored”.He scoffed.What a jerk!He thinks I can actually eat because he told me so? Angela said to herself.“I have been really kind to you…but you don't like it, it seems. You want me to force it?”He grinned at her.“Kind?”Angela laughed and looked at him in tears.“If this is Kindness then the devil would be an Angel,you are not kind you are a manipulator..it's not your nature to be kind! You..you took my virginity,it's wasn't enough you raped me then lock me in this house..and you are talking about kindness(laughs again) be a little bit kind and kill me already!”She yelled out in tears.“You asked me to take your virginity”.Antonio sneered.“No, I did not!”“You did.. Pleas
The next morning.Antonio was working out in Montero's private gym house.The gym was a different beast entirely. It was a pristine, well-appointed space, with high ceilings and luxurious details. The walls were covered in mirrors, and the floors were padded with soft mats. There was a full range of exercise equipment, from treadmills to weight machines.The gym itself was one large, open room, with punching bags hanging from the ceiling and heavy weights lining the walls. In the centre of the room was a large mat, where Antonio often practised his martial arts.The space was clean and bright.Alex, Antonio's step brother and Damon's younger sibling was there too.He stood by the weightlifting area, his arms crossed over his chest. He had a bewildered expression on his face, as he looked at Antonio with a curious gaze.He has been in a turbo mood fighting the sandbags as if it's a person he wanted to kill. He knew that Antonio had a great strength but this strength in front of him wa
“Antonio”.Alex waved, walking towards him.Antonio felt his stomach tighten, his anxiety rising. He wasn't sure what his step brother wanted, and he didn't want to find out either. “Dude you are too good..I was mesmerized..I..heard that your bride Angela has been sick for..”Antonio stormed out of the gym, ignoring Alex's presence. Alex was triggered by that move.“Hey!”Alex yelled in frustration, his hands in the air.“At Least hear me out!”The door slammed shut.“Same dick as always”.Alex muttered with a frown then his gaze went to the damaged sand bags.A hand on his waist and the other hand scratching his hair.“How on earth is that possible? Who got that titan this mad?”He walked around the sandbags with an inspection look,staring at them closely.Antonio went into his room to take a shower. Afterwards he tried pushing away the urge to go check on Angela again. Just to check if she had eaten he assured himself and left the room. His hair wet with a small towel around his ne
FEW HOURS AGOAngela and Damon were seated at the backseat of a Bentley Mulsanne.The car hummed along the highway, the steady whir of the engine filling the silence between them, the only sound the rumble of the engine and the hum of the tires on the road. Damon stole a glance at Angela, who was staring out the window,deep in thoughts watching the moving scenery. He wished he could think of something to say, some way to make her smile. But the words wouldn't come,his brain failed him.Finally, he cleared his throat and spoke.“How are you feeling?" he asked,softly.Angela turned to look at him, her eyes tired and sad. "I'm okay," she said, her voice sounding hollow. "Just... tired."She dried her wet cheeks and smiled back at him.“Hey, you don't have to cry,you are with me now. I am taking you home”.“I know”.. she sobbed. “I am just happy you came for me..I thought you didn't care ,I asked the maid about you they said you never came to check on me.Thank you for coming to get me,
