“ Start talking ! “ said madam Diana with a serious tone as she looked at her son , whom she threw at the couch in the office of her husband .
“ Honey……you should calm down first . “ said mr Adam a bit nervously .
“ Shut up Adam ! “ said madam Diana with a scary smile that made her husband shut his mouth and sitting on the couch .
She turned her head towards her son and smiled in a threatening way .
“ Don’t you have anything to say in your defence , Damian Wright ? “ said madam Diana .
“ …..Do I have the right to a lawyer ? “ asked Damian .
“ The only right you have right now is to te
“ My dear son . I love you and support you more than your dad but this time your dad is right . You need to be patient now and wait for his anger to cease before you strike again . With your level of handsomeness I am sure that Antonio will fall for you at first sight . “ said madam Diana with a comforting tone . “ Well , to tell the truth , I am more worried about his mother’s anger for me than on Antonio’s opinion on me right now , mom . “ said Damian with a tired look . “ Laura was indeed pissed . I would be pissed too if you were to get hurt or be in danger just to protect someone else who may not be related to them at all……..Laura is very stubborn but I will try to talk to her . “ said madam Diana .
‘ His daughter is still alive ? How……How could he possibly know ? Wait !…….Does he really know or is he just pretending ?…..I don’t think my cover is blown . The only one who know about me are Valeria and Alex . I don’t think they ever said anything to anyone . I don’t believe that would ever betray me . How does he know ?…..I gotta keep my calm first . Maybe he is just bluffing . ‘ thought Antonio with a surprised look but still tried to keep his composure . “ Your daughter that is still alive ? Have you lost your mind mr Karlo ?……Your daughter’s grave is in front of you . “ said Antonio with a serious tone . “ Your existence is enough to make your sister breathe and be alive through you . “ said
Madam Laura looked at him , still with an unfriendly aura around her . “ Madam Laura , I am sorry for the trouble that I have caused Antonio in the past . I am really sorry . “ said Damian with a sincere apologetic tone . “ Oh , are you ? “ said madam Laura continuing to drink her tea . Madam Diana noticed Laura’s expression and decided to intervene . “ I can vouch for you Laura that my son wasn’t intentional . The situation itself was very tricky at that time and Damian’s can’t be considered to take all the blame . After all Antonio rushed to help him on his own accord . “ said madam Diana trying to give some points to her son . “ Diana ! “ said mada
“ Why ? I can tell him if you want to . “ said madam Laura . “ I….I……. “ said Damian for the first time stuttering in his life . Madam Diana was shocked when she saw her son like that . “ This is the first time I am seeing my son like this . “ said madam Diana still shocked . “ Ohh….first time…….If so , then….I might have an idea of what you want to say to Antonio , Damian . “ said madam Laura with a nasty smile . “ Then , I thank you madam Laura . “ said Damian with a smile . They continued to smile and chat for a while more then they became aware of something
They turned their heads and saw Damian standing next to them . “ Good explanation……I couldn’t expect a better one . “ said Antonio with a smile as he looked at him . “ You are complimenting me ?…..That’s new and interesting . “ said Damian with a smile . “ I am glad you look good . Also…………Thank you very much Damian ! “ said Antonio with his eyes filled with tears . Damian raised his hand and softly wiped his cheeks . “ Don’t worry ! He is gonna be fine . You have to be strong for him . “ said Damian with a tender tone and warm smile . Antonio nodded in agreement
“ Antonio , is Angelo alright ? “ asked mr Karlo , taking the phone from madam Laura . “ Yes , he is fine…… “ said Antonio trying to sound as calm as possible . “ Antonio……are you alright ? “ asked mr Karlo when hearing his voice shake a little . “ I….am fine . I gotta go now . Take good care of mom . “ said Antonio and closed the call before his voice betrayed him .“ Finally I caught up to you . You shouldn’t run so fast alone Antonio . You used to be a girl . You know how hard it is to run with the shoes I am wearing . “ said Valeria with a tired look . When she looked at Antonio’s face , she saw the tear flowing down and Antonio who continuously gulped as if something was chocking him . “ Antonio…… “ said Valeria with a worried look . “ It hurts Valeria…….This pain……This connection……This feeling……..everything hurts . This pain is choking me to death . “ said Antonio crying . Valeria was sad as she couldn’t help him in any way despite wanting to . She hugged him tightly and
“ Damian , you better tell me . I don’t like putting people to report me on everything that you do so be a good boy and tell me the whole story . “ said madam Diana . “ If I tell you , you are sure to nag me for a very very very long time . “ said Damian . “ I promise I won’t nag you . I just want to know . If it’s something concerning your health , you better go and get checked . I am serious . “ said madam Diana . “ Are you sure ? “ asked Damian with a disbelieving expression . “ I promised you , didn’t I ?…….I know that you are very special with your composure and body structure so you should be extra careful . “ said madam Diana . “ I am fine mother . There’s nothing wrong with me . It’s about Angelo , Antonio’s son . “ said Damian . “ Angelo ?…..Right ! I forgot to ask you . Antonio already has a son . If you two get together , are you going to adopt Angelo as your son ? “ said madam Diana . “ Originally In thought like that . After all we do get along pretty well and he i
Valeria couldn’t bring herself to admit it so she just nodded her head in confirmation . Antonio got up with an annoyed expression then checked Angelo’s forehead to see whether he had a fever or not . “ If you want…….we can go too another hospital . “ said Valeria , tying her best to be careful with her words so that she wouldn’t annoy Antonio . “ It’s fine . Angelo got treated here last night . He is weak and I don’t want his health to be affected because of my feelings . “ said Antonio looking at Angelo with a worried expression . As he caressed his soft cheeks , Angelo slowly opened his eyes . “ Mmmm…….Mommy ? “ said Angelo opening his eyes and looking at Antonio . “ Angelo ?…..Angelo , are you alright ?……My son ! You finally woke up . “ said Antonio . “ Mommy , I am fine . Why wouldn’t I be ? “ said Angelo with a smile . His smile was so bright and her looked so energetic and happy . It was hard to believe that he experienced an accident that nearly took his life yesterday
“ 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
