Suddenly a knock came on the door. It startled her, giving her a jump. “Ye…yes…who..who is it?” “It's Devia,my lady”. The voice answered. “Devia? The maid assigned to me?” Angela thought,her head aches like crazy. She had to put her head down on an elevated pillow. “Come in”. Devia opened the door,she was carrying a box, and a small plastic sachet. “How are you doing today my lady?” Devia inquired with a bow. Angela managed to smile. “I am feeling a lot better today,my head still aches though”. “I..have your drugs…I hope you get well soonest”. Angela smiled back. “Thank you”. She gave her the plastic sachet. “The coloured pills,the doctor said it works as a sleeping pill too,so you don't be surprised if you fall asleep after taking it”. “Oh..should I? I think Mr Anthonio won't permit me to just fall asleep,he said I should wait for him”. “Actually he was the one who asked me to come,he said you are yet to fully recover,I should make sure you take your medicine”. Ange
Two blondes, both tall and slender, walked into Antonio's room. Grace and Marina have been on top of the model rank in the last three years. Apart from the two beauties being natural blondes and beauty queens,they have another thing in common. Obsessed with Mr Antonio. Well almost every woman is guilty of that. As the two beauties stood on the doorway of Antonio's bedroom,their eyes fixed on the figure lying on the bed. Angela was fast asleep. “Oh my!” Marina gasped, hand covering her mouth. “Who is she?” Grace snapped. “I don't know but definitely a commoner I know one when I see them. How can he share his master bed with such a low life?” Marina sneered. “Isn't that his bride to be?” Grace replied. “Really?” They walked to the bed to take a close look at the woman. “But she is not even a blonde” Marina replied,her voice full of spite. “We all know his obsession with blondes”. “Maybe he wanted to try something new,I can't imagine why else he chose her”. Grace lip
"You can't just cast us away like that”. Grace spoke up. “I see, you need a broken limb then?” Anthonio bellowed,his eyes stabbing them. The two blondes moved as fast as lightning,they took their clothes and left the room,that very moment. Angela was still very confused about the whole thing. “And you..?” He called her attention. Her heart raced nervously. Is this where everything ends? This is when I will be ordered to strip naked and give away my innocence? Why am I acting like I was saving it for someone's special? A finger flicked on her forehead, snapping her out of her thoughts. Angela blinked and looked up at Antonio. “Ye..yes.?” “What do you wish to eat?” That was a very unexpected question for Angela,her eyes widened in shock. “Huh?” He straightened up and walked towards his wine fridge. “Do you have any problem with hearing? Perhaps you need a hearing aid”. His voice came back cold. “That's not what I meant”. Angela replied slowly,her eyes downcast. “Y
“You don't have to be shy about it”. She laughed then her gaze shifted to Antonio who stood up without uttering a single word and left the room. Grandma Elizabeth sighed deeply then turned to Angela,who was fighting back her shyness. “How are you feeling today?” “Better than this morning maybe because of the medicine I took, thanks for being so kind to ask after my wellbeing”. “I see ....(she sighed again)I hope Antonio wasn't a burden to you this evening,he seems a bit out of place”. She asked Angela softly. “Not at all..” Angela replied. Grandma Elizabeth sighed then smiled at her. “Alright then get well soon”. “Thanks”. Angela replied and gulped down her food. She watched Grandma attempting to wheel herself out of the room. “Can I help? I am done with my food”. Angela asked, standing to her feet. “Oh of course you can,thank you my dearest”. Grandma Elizabeth smiled at her. She opened the door and gently pushed her out of the room heading down the hallway. On the
“So what is your relationship with my brother exactly?” Damon asked. “Nothing in definition,we are not in any way attracted to each other”. Angela replied. “So you have no feelings whatsoever for him?” Damon paused walking and turned to her. “Never, besides my heart belongs to another”. Angela replied avoiding his eyes contact. Damon's face dropped at the reply. “So you have a man waiting for you, what kind of man will let his woman go through this humiliations of a contract marriage with a pervert?” “It’s a crush actually”. Angela replied. “A crush?” He muttered then realizing, he smiled in relief then caressed her hair softly. “You mean Bryan?” He asked and leaned closer to her. Angela gulped hard,her heart started pounding heavily,he was leaning towards her even more closer,their faces were so close, so close that she could feel his breath over her face. Slowly closing her eyes,she could hear the imaginary image of her friend Doris cheering for her in her head. Dam
To Angela's surprise Antonio didn’t put up any more protests as she led him towards the bed, she gently eased him down on the large bed in the dim light, his skin was now slick with sweat. He was silent and didn't say another word. Angela sighed as she watched him shivering. First I need to get his temperature down, let me try dousing him with cold water, she thought. She went away and returned to the bedroom armed with a pocket of cold water and a small towel, she dropped them on his bed side and went ahead to open up the windows. The sky has gotten darker. Antonio on the other side, watched her beneath lowered eyelids. His temperature was so hot, yet his body was shivering uncontrollably, he couldn't even open his eyes widely. Angela got closer to him, she could still feel the heat pumping off his body, and also he was sweating profusely, so much that his pants got soaked. She turned to look at him and found him watching her quietly, he looked like he had a lot to say but
The next morning. Anthonio was staring at Angela, who was being attended to by a nurse. His eyes fixed on her. “What's the problem?” “She is going to be fine..I am sure it's just the drug she took late at night,it has a sleeping effect,which explains why she is still asleep by this time of the day”. The nurse replied and bowed. “I see”. He released a cloud of smoke,his eyes still on Angela. The nurse trembled in fear that he might do something bad to her. His aura feels cold at the moment and that scares her. “I should have warned her not to take it late at night,it's all my fault young mastee..I never thought she could be so busy..” “Enough”. His voice came,the nurse swallowed hard. She bowed and stepped aside. Antonio walked to Angela's bedside, his eyes lingered on Angela's face. He touched her warm cheeks…then down to stroke her lips with his thumbs. “She looked exhausted and weak. She must've been awake last night taking care of me. What a funny one( his eyes spar
“I am terrified of Young Master Anthonio,my lady. He was the one who instructed me to watch over you until you awakened..please allow me to take care of you this time,if anything happens to you as a result of the drug…He will do something terrible..really terrible to me. I am only but a servant”. Angela sighed seeing that the nurse won't give up on the issue. “Alright..I understand but can we do that in my room?” The nurse nodded in excitement. “Certainly Yes, my lady”. Angela thought about all that the nurse said. There is no way he would punish her over my health,the nurse might have thought that I am a real bride to Mr Antonio,if only she knew that this is all a fake relationship,she would not be so concerned about my well being. Also from her explanation it seems that Antonio is doing quite well this morning,Angela thought and decided not to ask after him. Afterall she has done her part for humanity's sake. What was that name again? Diana. I wonder who she is? He was
