Ten days had passed since Antonio had moved to the Landar mansion . During this time , Antonio kept a close watch on everything inside the mansion . He and his son continued to have breakfast every day with madam Laura . Antonio had it hard to hide the deep bound he had with his mother . All the years that he had missed her badly were too much to make him keep an eye on himself and he gradually lost to his acting . The two of them got along well . Even though he got along with madam Laura well , Antonio still kept his cold watch and composure in front of mr Donovan and the other family members .
“ Antonio , you should try this dessert . It’s very good . “ said madam Laura .
“ Sure ! “ said Antonio and took the fork then started to eat the cake madam Laura recommended .
“ Sir Anto
“ Good ! “ said Antonio then got out of the car . The two men in black also got out of the car and waited at the entrance of the door while Antonio went inside . When he entered inside he saw two men , one with a grey costume and one with a black costume , standing in front of his with guns in their hands . Antonio took out his phone and looked at the picture . ‘ Sure enough ! The same man . I better finish this fast and go back to my son . I still can’t let him alone in that house . Not with Annette lingering around…….even though he is with my mother . ‘ thought Antonio with a pensive expression . “ Who the hell are you ? “ said the man in black . “ Shhh ! He is the long lost young master Antonio . Apparen
“ I can understand why he wants to meddle with the Landar mansion but what’s this got to so with me ? Why is Axel Danados placing spies by our side when he clearly has a good relationship with our company ? “ said Damian with an annoyed expression every time he was remembered of his face . “ Maybe he wants more power . “ said Derrick . “ The Danandos family isn’t as rich as me but its still both a wealthy and influential family . I doubt that they know about Axel planting the spies . Hmmmmm……….If he wanted to sabotage our projects , he would have done so seven years ago . Why is he doing this now ? “ said Damian with a doubtful expression as he tri
“ By the way , where is Valeria ? “ asked Antonio . Before Alex answered , his phone rang and he saw a text that Valeria had sent him with the police of their meeting . “ Valeria just texted me , saying she is waiting for me at the entrance of the party hall . I am going to meet her . Angelo , will you come with me ? “ said Alex . “ Yeah ! “ said Angelo with a smile as he nodded his head . “ Good ! We will go ahead and wait for you at the party then…….young master . “ said Alex with a smirk . “ Sure , young master ! “ said Antonio with a smile . Alex and Angelo went out of the room where Antonio was pre
“ You were great son . “ whispered madam Laura with a smile . “ Thanks mom ! “ whispered Antonio with a smile . Antonio held his mother from her arm and escorted her down the stairs to join the guests . “ Hello young master Antonio ! “ said a group of gentlemen coming his way with their female companions alongside them . “ Hello everyone ! I am very pleased to have the possibility to meet all of you . “ said Antonio with a smile . “ Ha ha ha ! What a good looking son . Mr Karlo must be very happy with your appearance . “ said one of the men . “ Indeed I am happy . Not only is my son good-looking but at the same
When Axel heard it , his face froze as it lost its colour . He found it hard to believe what he was hearing from Antonio . The drastic loss of balance was impossible to hide . Antonio’s gaze towards him was simply cold . “ You…..You can’t be serious , right ?……Although Antonia was expelled from the family , madam Laura made sure she would live comfortably even outside the Landar mansion . She is living at a luxurious apartment in one of the most famous buildings . Antonia is fine…..she is fine…… “ said Axel with a nervous tone as his hands trembled a little . “ ……Haaah ! Young master Axel , since when was the last time you ever saw Antonia ? Who told you that she was living comfortably ? “ asked Antonio as he noticed that Axel was very convinced in his belief .
‘ I can’t believe it……The look he had on his eyes . That wasn’t the look on a normal angry moment . That’s the look of a person that despises the other……If he finds out that the reason why Antonia was kicked out of the house was because of me , I am afraid that he will definitely stick up to his words . ‘ thought Annette with a nervous expression as she adjusted her breathing . She got up from the ground and hurried to go inside as she tried to calm herself down .Axel was so annoyed that he entered to get his jacket . The waiter handed him his car keys on a golden tray . “ Are you leaving already Axel ? “ asked mr Donovan . “ Yeah ! I have some important job to do tomorrow . “ said Axel
“ I already live in luxury . “ said Antonio with a smirk . “ ….but what you wants isn’t luxury…….is power . Am I right ? “ said Damian . Antonio looked at him perturbed as Damian spoke . “ I want someone who can be with me but not cling to me . You want power and for some reason you want it fast . I don’t know what’s the hurry since with your abilities , you will be able to make it but…….as far as I am concerned , you wanting power fast benefits me more . “ said Damian looking at Antonio’s eyes . Antonio tired his best to stay strong in front of Damian . He didn’t want to look weak in front of Damian despite him feeling extremely weak in front of his handsome stare .
“ ……..Does that feeling hold any bit of love in it ? “ asked Antonio with a dry laugh since he already knew the answer . “ ……no….. “ said Damian letting him go . Antonio smiles in a hurt way since he knew what Damian wanted yet he hoped that he could change that but the more he tried the more it seemed impossible to change .“ Since that feeling isn’t love then it cannot be called a feeling . Just because I find someone interesting , I would never consider my interest for him a feeling . “ said Antonio . “ You sure are interesting , even your way of thinking . “ said Damian with a smirk . “ Where is the contract ? “ asked A
“ You lowly peasants ! “ said Annette enraged . “ They are right Annette . You should be thankful instead of being discourteous . “ said Antonio with a displeased expression when their eyes met . “ Sir Antonio ! “ said the guards bowing his head . “ Thank you for your hard work . I would like for you two leave us a minute alone . “ said Antonio . “ Sure sir ! “ said the guards with a smile then left , leaving Antonio and Annette alone . “ You are complaining too much for someone who has absolutely no right to say anything nor ask for anything . “ said Antonio . Annette turned her head and saw Antonio standing in front of her cell . “ You !…..All this happened because of you . How dare you say that I have no right to ask for anything ? “ said Annette . “ You are acting as if you are the victim when in reality you are the real guilty one . “ said Antonio . “ Antonio stop playing the role of the innocent . You have always been like this . It annoys me so much that you can get A
Axel clenched his fists then looked at his brother with a forced smile . “ You finished pretty early . “ said Axel . “ I am quite fast with my hands . It’s been ten years that I do this job after all . “ said Alex . “ If you are so good then get yourself something to be busy with and stop meddling in my business . “ said Axel . “ No can do brother . After what happened with that crazy Annette , I will be the Cupid in charge of your romantic future from now on . “ said Alex winking at his brother . The others couldn’t help but laugh a little at Alex’s statement . “ Go and get yourself busy with some surgeries . “ said Axel . Everyone laughed as they couldn’t hold themselves anymore . A month passed and Axel finally fully recovered from the injury . During his staying at the hospital Antonio went to visit and take care of Axel daily . Damian also set aside his work to accompany Antonio at the hospital . He felt uncomfortable with Antonio and Axel remaining alone . Things at the
“ Damian……why are you grabbing me like this ? The servants were watching . “ said Antonio blushing .“ So what if they are ‘ You are the leader of the Landar mansion and we will soon get married . There’s nothing for you to be shy about . “ said Damian annoyed . “ I really don’t know what’s wrong with you . “ said Antonio confused when noticing that he was a bit annoyed . Damian grabbed Antonio and placed him on his shoulders then entered Antonio’s room . He locked the door with the key then placed Antonio on the bed . “ Damian Wright ! What do you think you are doing embarrassing me in front of the servants like that . Don’t forget that you are at the Landar family territory here . Not the Wright family territory . “ said Antonio annoyed . “ Oh , really ?……Well , I am to marry the leader of the Landar family soon . My man’s territory is mine as well so is my territory his . “ said Damian with a devilish smirk , softly touching his cheek and laying on the bed with him . “ Damian…
When Damian heard him , he opened his eyes wide and went near Antonio . “ I will come with you . “ said Damian walking ahead . “ No ! Angelo just woke up and he needs someone to stay with him . You better take care of him . “ said Antonio . “ My parents and your parents can take care of him until we go for a visit and come back . After all you will not be spending the night there , will you ? That’s crazy . “ said Damian with a fake smile laughing the matter off . “ Damian , in case you haven’t realised the situation , allow me to explain it to you again . Axel blocked a bullet for me . A bullet that could have take my life . He nearly died because of me . The east I can do is go visit him and take care of him until he gets better . “ said Antonio who was trying to keep his cool . “ Still….. “ said Damian but Antonio stopped him . “ I don’t want to hear any excuses . You will stay here with our son . End of discussion . “ said Antonio . Damian couldn’t stand the idea that Ant
“ You……..did ? “ said Antonio with a shocked expression . Mr Karlo turned his head away and his cheeks were clearly blushing a little . Antonio looked at him and smiled then couldn’t help but laugh . “ Who would have thought that you actually were being a father in disguise like ? “ said Antonio with a surprised expression . “ Well , I am a father . You can’t call it a disguise . “ said mr Karlo . “ Heh ! You old man ! Would it kill you to say I love you my child . “ said Antonio a bit annoyed . Madam Laura couldn’t hold her laugh when she heard Antonio call mr Karlo an old man . Mr Karlo coughed a little then in the blink of an eye he went near Antonio and hugged him . “ I love you my child . I am very proud of you . Thank you for being born as my child . “ said mr Karlo with a serious tone , smiling as he hugged Antonio . Antonio laughed happily and hugged his father tightly . “ I love you too daddy . “ said Antonio . “ My dear princess . “ said mr Karlo . “ Daddy , I am a
“ Mom ! “ said Antonio with a happy expression . Madam Laura looked at Antonio then noticed the ring in his hand . She looked at his hand in surprise when seeing the shiny ring on his finger . “ Do you have a minute , master Antonio ? “ asked madam Laura with a polite tone as she smiled . “ Mom ! What are you saying ? Please don’t stand on formalities with me . I am your child , your son . “ said Antonio a bit panicked . Madam Laura smiled then entered the office as Antonio followed her from behind . When they entered the room , Antonio noticed that his mother was a bit too silent . “ …..It is true that you are my child but whether you are my son or my daughter…….I am still unsure about it . “ said madam Laura , sitting on the couch of the office . Antonio realised that he had some explaining to do about the situation they were in . He knew that he could not pass this lightly without a proper explanation . “ I know……Even though you said that it didn’t matter , I still owe you a
Antonio looked at the files then looked at the door . “ Mr Donovan , I need to speak with you . “ said Antonio with a serious tone , wanting to make sure of something before he continued with the files . “ I know what you want to talk about Antonio . Right now , you have a more important duty and that is to legalise your identity as the new leader fast . There will be time to talk and I will explain what you want to know along with Andre of course . “ said mr Donovan looking at Andre who was caught in surprise but also looking a bit guilty . “ I suppose you are right . “ said Antonio looking at Andre . Damian hugged Antonio and handed him the file he was holding . “ I am going to check on our son . My people are surrounding the place . Don’t worry about anything , just finish what you need to finish . “ said Damian with a sweet smile . “ Thanks dear ! “ said Antonio happily . The lawyers that mr Donovan had asked to come arrived and they all started to work immediately . As Ant
Bl truth“ Dad , stop bluffing . “ said mr Karlo . “ I am dead serious Karlo . “ said mr Donovan . They looked at mr Donovan’s expression and realised that he was indeed dead serious . “ How did you know all this ? “ said Antonio . “ I placed people to follow you in secret . “ said mr Donovan . “ You knew every move of mine ? “ asked Antonio . “ Yes ! “ said mr Donovan . “ You were the one that kicked me out of the family and disowned me . Why would you pay so much attention to me when you were the one that cut me off completely ? “ said Antonio , still not convinced even though mr Donovan’s expression wasn’t lying . “ I know what you are doubting . From a young age , I realised that you wanted to be a boy . That you never felt comfortable under a girl’s skin . After experiencing such a shocking incident , I was curious to see if you would finally have the courage to take the step ahead and transform yourself in what you were supposed to be born as . When looking at your cryi
“ Honey , please calm down . “ said mr Karlo trying to ease his wife’s anger . Mr Adam couldn’t even laugh as he looked at madam Laura’s enraged expression . Madam Diana wanted to speak a little but she thought that it would only amie things worse . She couldn’t even speak up for her son in this matter as he was totally and definitely in the wrong for his behaviour towards Antonio . ‘ Son , mommy wants to help you but since you were so stupid as to behave in such a way , there’s nothing more that I can do as you have no good point in Laura’s perspective to be gasped and used in a positive response . Haaah….. ‘ thought madam Diana with a tired look . “ Are you alright , dear ? “ asked mr Adam when he saw her expression . “ It’s all your fault . “ said madam Diana with a scary smile , making mr Adam shiver a little . Antonio tried to calm his mother but he was annoyed and reluctant to say anything . He tried to come up with a solution but apart from his money and his handsome looks
