" Boss , we did it ! " said Antonio with an excited expression .
" He he he ! We did it ! " said Damian with a smile still wearing the black mask covering his face .
" Great ! Now that the project is ours , the land is the only thing left . " said Derrick then looked at Antonio .
" If we were able to get this land was mostly because of you . It's a pity that you didn't register to work in our company as a lawyer . " said Derrick with a smile .
"It's a nice offer but our boss is a troublemaker , How can I quit my job as a bodyguard when he creates trouble every minute ? Who will protect him then ? " said Antonio mending his jacket .
" How dare you call your boss a troublemaker ? " said Damian flicking Antonio's forehead .
" Ouc !......he he he ! I am the sorry boss . " said Antonio with a silly smile .
" Honestly , between you and Angelo , I wonder who the real child is.....Pffft ! " laughed Damian and walked ahead .
" Antonio.... " said a seducing voice from behind Antonio . When he turned his head , he noticed that it was Mia . ' ....Mia......What is she doing here ? ' thought Antonio with a worried expression when seeing her eyes looking at him with affection . " I am curious to know your opinion on the company . How about we have lunch together ? " said Mia with a docile expression . " I......I have to work today . I am sorry that I can't accompany you . " said Antonio with a nervous smile , trying to distance himself from Mia . " ...Hmmmmm.....Is that so ?.....What a pity ! I guess we will eat together another time then . " said Mia with a bit of a sad expresison . " Sure.....another time . " said Antonio with a nervous smile then hurried to go back to his office . Derrick heard their conversation and showed a distressed expression . ' Haaaah !.......I can't do anything , nor can I hate Antonio . He is indeed good-looking
Damian looked at the file with an annoyed expression . He knew that he had to do something about this quickly . He couldn't let his father's people get the upper hand . ' .....he wants to take away the business that I have in mind . He surely must be thinking that he can win if he uses his stupid followers . I will never allow this to happen . Never ! ' thought Damian with an annoyed expression . " Boss ?.....Is everything alright ? " asked Derrick . " You two better prepare . We have to go and get to the investor before my father does . If we lose this project Derrick , you will be working overtime for the whole month to compensate for the loss . " said Damian with a serious expresison . " Ye......Yes..... " said Derrick with a discouraged expression . Damian looked at Antonio and handed him the file he was holding . " We will arrive at the meeting place in half an hour . During that time , I wish for you to read and learn more about
" I am truly surprised that this plan actually caught your attention . " said Antonio ." I wasn't that interested in the beginning but mr Karlo insisted that this project was worth my time . He pestered me quite a lot . I would have taken him out of the scene for annoying me that much but when I read the project , I could feel an interesting vibe . After reading the proposal of the project , I deemed it worthy and agreed to be part of it and to have my company be in charge of it . " said Damian with a smile .' ....Mr Karlo has put in a lot of effort to present this contract to Damian ?......Just what in the world is he thinking . Doesn't he hate me for being useless ?.....Just what happened to him during these six years that have passed . It's been such a long time but people with mr Donovan's blood hardly change . His blood goes through my veins too but we are totally different . ' thought Antonio with a serious expression .When they went out of the car , An
MMMMMMMAntonio let go of his hand and stood behind Damian .Damian noticed the hostility air between them but didn’t think of it as important . He just thought that maybe mr Karlo though of Antonio as a simple person with not enough of a merit for recognition . It was normal for powerful businessmen to neglect their assistants or bodyguards , apart from the people they truly trusted . Antonio let go of his hand and stood behind Damian as protocol required while Derrick sat down with aDamian and mr Karlo . “ Mr Karlo , we are here for the contract with the project you have mentioned . “ said Damian . “ I am happy to hear that sir Damian . I didn’t have much faith that
‘ ….Let’s see what a good bodyguard you are , Antonio . I believe in your abilities . I hope that you won’t let me down . ‘ thought Damian as he drank the wine . “ You seem to think of him as important , sir Damian . “ said mr Karlo . “ …..I personally choose him as my bodyguard . “ said Damian with a smile . Antonio went out of their room and walked ahead to check his suspicions . When Antonio left the front door , the waiters nodded their head and took a towel to cover their hands . Along with the towels , they even got moving tray with two wines . “ …..That bodyguard looked like he was doubtful of us . “ said one of the waiters . “ That momma boy . He look
“ The contract is finally signed . We can take this project out of the list of jobs that we have to finish for this month . “ said Damian . “ I want to cry tears of joy every time a contract is signed . “ said Derrick . “ ….Why do you need to cry ? “ asked Antonio . “ Antonio , you have been working for only three months at maximum . If you become an old employee like me , you will understand what a relief it is hearing the words , contract is signed . “ said Derrick . “ …Stop complaining as if I am torturing you to death . I do twice the workload and I don’t complain the way you do . “ said Damian . Derrick approached his face near Antonios in a sneaky way to not b
“ Boss , the minimum sleeping hours that a human being should have are at least eight to ten hours . “ said Antonio a bit annoyed with a forced smile . “ I sleep four hours mostly of the week . I don’t see any problem here . “ said Damian with his casual cool expression . ‘ ….Derrick is right . This guy isn’t human at all . Other people would die of overwork while he is so calm and composure about it . How can a person live with only four hours of sleep everyday ? ‘ thought Antonio . “ But…..I don’t see any reason to stay here . I also finished my work . “ said Antonio . “ Your work isn’t finished . You have to guard me . “ said Damian . ‘ Da
“ ……Haaaah ! I am starting to wonder who’s the one who really needs a bodyguard between the two of us . “ said Antonio with a tired expression . “ Ha ha ha ! You sure are funny . Do you know the reason why I choose you to be my bodyguard and personal assistant aside from Derrick , Antonio ? “ said Damian after laughing . “ Because I am good at fighting and I am also good at business ? “ said Antonio . “ Sure , those reasons stand as well but they aren’t the main reason why I employed you though . “ said Damian . “ Then……..What’s the main reason for employing me ? “ asked Antonio confused . “ Because you amuse me a lot . “ said
“ 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
