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
"Take her." The leader ordered.Damon's guards immediately surged forward. "Don't fight them, please, I will go at will...we can't win this"She pleaded with Leonardo who sighed and gave orders for the others to put their weapon down."Stay safe".Leonardo whispered, his gt tightening with anger, trying to resist."You too".Courtney replied as Damon's men roughly escorted her away.Like she said, she followed them willingly, knowing any resistance would only make matters worse. Her thoughts raced as they led her deeper into the mansion, through dimly lit corridors that seemed to stretch endlessly. Eventually, they shoved her into a cold, dark room and slammed the door behind her.In the dim light, Courtney's eyes adjusted to the small, cramped space, and she saw two familiar figures huddled in the corner. Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized who they were. Angela's sister, Kerry, and Doris, they looked so unrecognizable.As soon as they saw her, they rushed forward."Cour
"Fuck".Damon cursed and fell to his knees.His hands trembling as he tried to stop the bleeding from his groin, but the blood flowing down like a tap made him have a heart attack.He put a hand up in a stop sign, catching his breath."Ma...maybe, we...we ... Can talk about this...huh?"Antonio stepped forward blankly, towering over him with the gun still pointing at him, his expression cold."You touched her with those hands".He fired the shots again, the bullet hitting Damon's hands this time.He repeated again and again and again emptying the gun.Angela was as shocked as she was terrified. She was crying and screaming with her hands over her ears.At the end of the gunshots,Damon's body slumped into the pool of his own blood rushing across the floor.The light fading from his eyes.The hall fell silent, the echoes of the gunshots fading into nothingness.Antonio lowered the gun, his breath shaking slightly. He turned to Angela, who was staring at him, her face a mix of relief and
Groaning loudly without minding that the noises they make might attract the guards.The door was old and cracked from Angela's earlier attempts, but it still resisted. They shoved harder, their desperation lending them extra force.Finally, the wood splintered, and the door gave way, swinging open with a loud crash.Angela stumbled inside, breathing heavily and bruised, but alive. She was immediately embraced by her sister Kerry, followed by Doris and Courtney.The four women held each other in a tight, tearful reunion and relief."You're alive," Kerry whispered, her voice thick with emotion. "I thought I lost you."Angela, still catching her breath, managed a soft smile through her exhaustion. "I'm fine," she said, squeezing them tighter. " I need your help."They pulled back slightly, looking at her with concern."What happened?" Doris asked, brushing a strand of hair from Angela's wet, exhausted face."Did you see Antonio?"Courtney asked.Before Angela could finish explaining, th
Since they were free Doris, Courtney and Kerry carried Hinata out of the dark room heading to the Montero's hospital. A guard offered to help, and the four left the cold scene.The leader was still frozen in shock, his eyes wide as they flickered between Lord Damon's lifeless body at Antonio's feet and the man who had just effortlessly taken down his former master. His body suddenly became tense and trembling, still clutching Angela.He stared at Antonio in fear, unable to comprehend how he changed so drastically from helpless man pleading for mercy to this cold monster that was able to end Damon.He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.Antonio’s strong presence made it impossible for him to act. He took a step backward and unexpectedly, all the men grabbed their weapons and turned to him.He was alone against all of them.Every one of them held the trigger ready to shoot at any time.He turned around in panic and saw Leonardo the victory smirk playing on his lips.He looked back a
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. "
