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 lookinAngelo 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 . "
Damian was waiting at his room" The boss ! " said Derrick ." The representative of the human resources . " said Antonio .When he heard Antonio he looked at him confused ." The representative of the human resources ? " asked Derrick confused as to who he was referring to since the representative was fired not long ago .Before Antonio could answer the door of the room where they were opened and a beautiful girl with black hair and white skin entered ." Derrick , the president is looking for you . He....... " said the beautiful girl remained stunned by Antonio's appearance ." Mia , it's been a while . How have you been ? " said Derrick ." I have been good........now it just became extremely good . " said Mia looking at Damian ." Hello ! " said Mia with a cute tone ." H...Hello ? " said Antonio confused ." .........I have never seen you before . In which department are you ? What's your name ? " said
Antonio went to the balcony and tried to get some fresh air . After he saw his parents , his heart started to beat fast . Their simple gesture of saluting was making him feel even more annoyed . “ Damn it ! “ said Antonio and another person at the same time . He raised his hand and looked at the balcony next to him . There was another man wearing a formal costume a famous men brand . ‘ This guy must be filthy rich !…….The costume that he is wearing……There are only ten of those custom made costumes . Their price is even more crazy . ‘ thought Antonio with a shocked expression . He raised his eyes and noticed that he was also wearing a black mask with golden
After he arrived home , Damian took his mask off and his tie then threw it to the couch . He turned the lights on then went to his room to take the brooch , the watch and the diamond he had placed on his tie . The image of Antonio's dance couldn't disappear from his mind . ' ....I have never seen such a graceful dance before . Only the females in the Landar family can manage to dance like that yet he knew precisely how to dance . He looked so magnificent . Just what kind of person is he....... ' though Damian with a smile . He went to the bathroom and took a nice warm shower then dressed in his nightclothes and sat on the couch . As soon as he sat down , his phone started to ring . It was Derrick . " Boss , I apologize for calling you so late . " said Derrick . " You aren't really apologetic but anyway , I will let you off for the sake of your good job with the investigation of the shareholders . " said Damian . " Wow ! It seems like you
The next morning Antonio wakes up and sees Valeria all dressed up with Angelo ready to leave ." Where are the two of you going ? " asked Antonio ." We are going to watch a movie and see the latest trends posted on the mall's clothing shops . We will also play some games then we will come home . I would have woken you up to come with us but I thought you needed some rest after the party . " said Valeria ." You did think well . I really needed to sleep some more . " said Antonio ." Morning mommy ! " said Angelo with a smile ." Morning sweetie ! Have fun today with aunt Valeria and always listen to her . " said Antonio with a smile ." Sure mommy ! " said Angelo .Valeria and Angelo smiled as they waved at Antonio and went away closing the door . Antonio drank some water then went back to his study to check his computer and see the latest news on the net to make sure he was informed . When he opened his email and the news on the int
" Boss ! " said Derrick as he looked at the Ipad ." What ? " said Damian ." The detective that we hired six months ago has sent an email . " said Derrick ." Have you found anything on the woman that I slept with , the night that my father drugged me ? " asked Damian as he dealt with the files in front of him ." No , boss ! We have been searching for six years but nothing has been found . It's like........everything has been deleted . All the detectives we have hired up until now , even our people , believe that someone is hiding her identity on purpose . This makes the whole thing much more suspicious . " said Derrick ." ......Hmph ! True ! There's definitely something fishy about this . That old man of mine has been searching for her like crazy . He wants to know whether he has a grandchild or not . " said Damian with an annoyed tone ." Boss , I don't know why you are so angry with your father . " said Derrick ." Derrick , you
" That girl........Mia.........she sure is beautiful , isn't she ? " said Derrick . " She is beautiful . " said Antonio with a smile . " Usually who sees her..........immediately falls in love with her . Have you fallen for her ? " said Derrick a bit hesitant . " She is indeed a beauty . A priceless beauty but her hair was a bit too dark . " said Antonio with a smirk . " Her hair is beautiful too . Like dark-colored silk . You are wrong . " said Derrick . " Ha ha ha ! " laughed Antonio with a smile . " Why are you laughing ? " asked Derrick . " It's unusual to see a boy fall in love with someone in such an innocent way . She is beautiful and you are handsome too . You two will make a good match . " said Antonio . " You think so ?......Wiat ! How did you know I like her ? " asked Derrick . " I do admit that I am a bit dumb when it comes to understanding love but you are so obvious about it ." said Antonio .
“ 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
