“ 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
“ If it’s like this…..Definitely yes ! Huyyyhh ! I am so glad , I am truly glad after hearing you say so . Honestly this is quite surprising . I never thought that you liked boys . You are also more handsome than normal boys . " said Derrick ." Ha ha ha ha ! Look at your face . I knew that you would feel recharged after hearing me . But , you are right to be worried . Mia is a cute girl after all . " said Antonio nodding his head ." She is very cute but at the same time she is very gentle . I am lucky to have had the chance to meet her . " said Derrick with a dreamy face .“ Well , I have to get going now . The boss must have gotten his warm drink . “ said Antonio after checking his watch and got up . “ The boss is still at the office ? &l
“ I……I……..I am fine . I was just surprised by his name . I….. “ said Laura and without even realising it , her eyes were filled with tears . “ Laura….. “ said mr Karlo with a helpless expression when seeing her . “ No , I am fine . I……….Don’t understand why I am crying . I am.....fine , I was.......just looking at some photos and.....and.....and...... “ said Laura crying , as she wiped her tears with her hands . Mr Karlo hugged his wife and placed her head on his chest and warm embrace . “ ……..You know how I have been keeping a track on the apartment where Antonia was supposed to live . Not long after , she disappeared from that apartment and went abroad . It&rsqu
“ Yo doctor…….you have quite a timing . “ said Damian with an annoyed , forced smile . “ Good timing is the most important factor for a surgeon . One minute less means more danger for life . “ said Alex with an innocent smile . Damian and Alex looked at each other with a devilish and challenging smirk . There were small sparkles of electricity wavering around their fierce smiles towards one another . Antonio looked at them a bit confused as he couldn't understand what was actually hoping on between them . He looked at Damian a bit nervously and bit his lips in a nervous way , thinking about what he would have done if Alex didn't show up .“ Emmm…….I gotta go now .
“ …..Part of what you are doing is not only for your revenge but for Angelo too . Don’t forget that !……….He is a kid but he is already more understanding of your situation than an adult . At such a young age he is already your biggest support but he has his own wounds too………I have seen him countless of times space out when he looked at the families of three . Especially at the father figure . He doesn’t say it because he doesn’t want to cause you any trouble but he yearns to know who his father is . I have seen his computer data . Angelo is smart and is even trying to learn about his identity on his own . “ said Alex . “ …..My baby is smart . “ said Antonio . “ He definitely is . You can’t easily fool him . Sometim
Meanwhile , Damian was on his way to the company . “ ..A…..A…..A…Aphshuuuu !!! “ sneaked Damian three times in a row . “ Bless you , boss . Are you alright ?….Should I ask Antonio to get some medicine ? “ said Derrick with a worried expression . “ No need ! This isn’t a cold . There must be someone talking bad about me behind my back . “ said Damian . “ ….That makes sense . I haven’t seen you catch a cold in three years . I would feel super shocked if I were to see you with a cold . “ said Derrick . “ I am a normal human being . It’s not uncommon for me to catch a cold . “ said Damian looking at his phone .
“ Antonio , reorganise all of these ! “ said Damian . “ What ?…….All of these ?!……Are you insane ? “ asked Antonio shocked . Damian looked at him surprised since he had never shown his true feelings up until now . “ With what you just did , this is already too light of a punishment . I should have kicked you opiate of the company but I didn’t . You should thank me for still keeping you as my assistant and bodyguard . “ said Damian . Antonio followed Damian to the office and saw a bunch of employees coming and going out of his office , leaving boxes inside . Antonio stared ta the door with a shocked expression . He couldn't understand what was going on , but the image of the boxes made him feel an uncomfortable shiver
“ 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
