" I haven't , don't worry . " said Derrick with a smile .
Damian smiled them went back to his room . After changing his clothes , Derrick was waiting for him on the couch . The table was filled with food and he had placed two soft pillows behind the place where Damian would sit so that his back would be comfortable .
" What are you still doing here ? " asked Damian .
" I am taking care of my boss who is hurt . " said Derrick with a smile .
" That sly expression of yours is starting to become similar to mine . " said Damian .
" He he he ! I am so glad that apart from the arm you are fine . " said Derrick .
Damian smiled and went to sit at the place Derrick had prepared for him . He took the fork and was about to eat it but then he stopped the fork before putting it in his mouth .
" Wait..... " said Damian then looked at Derrick with a doubtful expression .
" You would never be this nice without a hidden
When the reporters saw Damian , they rushed to his side . " Sir Damian ! Sir Damian ! You are finally back . You are safe and sound . Where had you gone for the past four days , especially now that the company is very busy with the new deal ? " asked one of the reporters . " Sir Damian , what do you think about the news of your disappearance and the death rumors ? " asked another reporter . " Sir Damian , what about the rumors that you had signed a contract to sell your share among the shareholders ? " asked another reporter . " Everything is fake . " said Damian with a simple answer and went inside while his bodyguards opened the way for him . The moment Damian stepped inside the employees that were around looked at him surprised . " Sir Damian......? It's sir Damian..... " whispered the employees . Damian looked at the employees and they immediately bowed their heads in front of him . He went to the elevator and headed to the
' ........The only reason why I kept those annoying losers as shareholders was because they were surprisingly courageous enough to dare and hurt me on multiple occasions . I hoped the one behind them would show himself if I were to go missing for the past four days but......he still didn't show up . the media was filled with news about my disappearance or possible death yet.............nothing unusual happened . Just who is he.....Who is he ?.........The only reason why I am being lenient with those shareholders is so that I can get a clue to this guy who wants me dead so badly........ ' thought Damian with an annoyed expression . The other shareholders who were still staring at the green sheets of their files were confused . " You can go back to your offices or go home . You are saved this time but there will be no next time . If you have any malicious thoughts then get rid of them for your own good....... " said Damian with a serious tone . " Yes , boss ! "
" Yoru daughter-in-law ?.....You are so desperate that you have actually started to lose your mind . " said Damian with a devilish smile . " I have not lost my mind . You are the one who needs to get your mind together . Such behavior can no longer continue to be tolerated . " said Adam annoyingly . Damian went to his desk and took his laptop from USB then placed it in his pocket . " ....I am talking with you Damian Wright ! " said Adam . " ...........I could care less about the things that can and cannot be tolerated in your mind . " said Damian then glared at his father with a dark expression . " ....If I find out that you have found that woman and are helping her financially as she raises my kid............I will cut off all ties with you . " said Damian . " How dare you talk to your father like that ? " said Adam looking at Damian annoyed when seeing the challenging look in his eyes . " Heh ! Father ?............How funny !
Deep down Diana felt annoyed and sad at the thought of finding the girl because she felt like her husband had done a very harsh and bad thing for the sake of their child . She never wanted to hurt anyone else to secure her son but now , she could only think of helping her ease the damage they had caused her . The thought that her the most was because she was even a virgin innocent girl who was mistakenly drawn into their mess . After they got out of the limousine , the servants opened the giant door . Their home was so luxurious and the big mansion that looked like a majestic castle . Both their fame and wealth could place them on the same rank as royals . When they arrived home , the servants bowed in front of the entry lobby welcoming them in the most respectful way . " Welcome back master , madam ! " said the servants with a respectful tone . " Is my schedule ready ? " asked Adam . " Yes , sir ! " said the butler and his assistant .
' .....I know how much you care for her that's why I tried my best to erase all the information on Antonia's surgery into Antonio............more than that , he will kill me if he learns that the one who performed the surgery is me . ' thought Alex . " ....I had to know what else she would do . Whether she had gone to the arms of that man that embraced her . I never thought I was so blind by my feelings for her to not see how badly rotten she was in the first place . " said Axel . When Alex heard him , he placed the glass of water down the table in an angry way and glared at his brother . " Are you protecting a cheater instead of your brother ? " said Axel . " I am protecting the innocent one...........I really don't understand you ! You have a high IQ when it comes to business but a low IQ when it comes to women . You keep listening to Annette's words and keep filling your mind with bad thoughts about Antonia . She was a victim of that
While watching television in his home , the door rang and Antonio went to open it . " Alex ? " said Antonio surprised . " I thought you would have gone to sleep . " said Alex coming in . " Valeria and Angelo are already asleep . I Just couldn't seem to fall asleep… " said Antonio and sat back on the couch as he pressed the remote and changed channels . " …..You have seen the news of the signing ceremony , haven't you ? " said Alex , sitting down next to Antonio after hanging his jacket ." .....I was just randomly going through the channels . I didn't think that I would actually see the signing ceremony . " said Antonio . " Soon.....You can go back to your family's house . " said Alex . Antonio looked at Alex and laughed in a forced way . " To my family's house ?.....Heh ! I don't even know if they will buy the lies I will use to present myself to them . " said Antonio lookin
Angelo and Valeria turned their head toward Antonio and saw that he had opened his eyes and was grinding at them . " You........You're awake ? " said Valeria surprised . " Goodmorning ! What prank were you thinking about , my dear Valeria ? " said Antonio with a smirk . " Ahh.....Ha......Ha......I......I was just......What is Alex doing here ? " said Valeria with a smile . " Right mommy ! What is uncle Alex doing here ? " said Angelo with a smile . " You two troublemakers.... " said Antonio with a tired face . Alex opened his eyes and rubbed them then he noticed Angelo and Valeria . " Angelo ?......You are up ? Did you have a good sleep ? " said Alex with a smile . Angelo went to Alex and hugged him . " I had a great sleep uncle Alex . " said Angelo with an angelic face . " You little devil.... " said Antonio . " Mommy , I am innocent . " said Angelo . Alex looked at Antonio confuse
" Then.........it's alright !..........You know ! You have a man's body now but the fact that you like cute stuff , the fact that you are sweet and kindhearted.........those are part of your character . In comparison to before you have become much stronger . You may have just realized this by now but in reality, that strength was always inside you . It just needed to be pushed put . You can change the body but you can't change your character . You are strong , clever , and cutely handsome . Antonio , you have absolutely nothing to worry about . Everything will be fine . Let's get ready and crash that party . What do you think ? " said Valeria extending her hand to her . " .......Thanks Valeria ! What would I do without you and Alex..... " said Antonio . " Let's say that you would be a bit too bored all alone in this luxurious apartment . " said Valeria with a smile winking at him . " Ha ha ha ! You are right . I and Angelo would be too bored alone in here . "
“ 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
