' Mother.......you are the only person who has ever loved me in my whole life . Gaining the freedom and security...............I am aware of how hard you had to work to make them agree to these things . Gaining the freedom in exchange for cutting ties with you.........is not worthy at all . I feel in a deeper prison now that I have everyone I knew turn their back to me . ' thought Antonia with a the tears wetting her face .
She took the pen and signed the document then headed it to her mother . Her mother took the document and placed it inside her bag . Antonia accompanied her mother down the stairs until they arrived at the car .
" Live well ! " said her mother with a smile as she cried .
" I will mother ! Thank you for protecting me , every single time . " said Antonia crying .
" Silly girl ! A mother will forever protect her child . I love you . Everything will take a turn for the better so don't be sad anymore . Goodbye my dear daughter ! " said her mother with a smile .
" ......Goodbye mother ! " said Antonia with a smile and the two of them hugged one last time .
After saying goodbye to Antonia , her mother got in the car and left with the driver . When seeing the car leave , Antonia realized that this would probably be the last time she would see her mother as her mother . If they ever faced each other in the future , they would be nothing more than mere strangers .
Antonia returned back to her apartment and still couldn't believe that things were resolved so peacefully .
' Mom..........I don't care if I don't see anyone in that family again . I just want you to be with me . Why did they have to separate us like this ?.............What bad thing did I do to have to suffer all this ? ' thought Antonia .
She was grateful to her mother but at the same time, she was very hurt by the thought that she wouldn't be able to see her mother again . As she cried all the pain in her heart out , she fell asleep on the couch .
Meanwhile, at the Wright family mansion , things weren't that easy either . Madam Wright sighed with a worried expression .
" Calm down madam . Worrying so much isn't good for your health . " said Klementina .
" Klementina , the two of them are now in a bloody war with each other . How can I calm down knowing that my son and my husband are going to fight a harsh war with each other ?! " said madam Wright , touching her forehead in pain .
" Madam please relax . The master.......shouldn't have been that harsh with him but I am sure young master will understand him . " said Klementina with a smile .
" I hope so . " said madam Wright then the door opened .
" Madam , young master arrived . " said a maid .
" My son arrived . Good ! Finally, he is home . He always comes for dinner but today he actually skipped it............Ahhh..... " said madam Wright rushing to the door .
" Welcome young master ! " said the maids and servants bowing to him when he entered inside .
Damian entered the house with a calm attitude and went to the living room where his mother was .
" Mother , you look stunning as always . I am sorry I couldn't come for dinner . I was a bit busy with the company . " said Damian with a smile and hugged his mother .
" It's the okay son . I.....am glad you are here . " said madam Wright a bit surprised when seeing his calm expression .
Damian and madam Wright sat down and Damian started to tell her about his day at work . He didn't mention anything about what happened yesterday and madam Wright took a breath of relief seeing her son calm and composed as always . An hour passed and the two mothers and son continued to chat with each other . The entrance door of the mansion opened in a fierce way and mr Wright entered .
" Where is he ? " said mr Wright .
" Master please calm down . " said the butler nervously when he saw how angry master Wright was .
He went to the living room and saw his wife sitting down , drinking some tea .
" Honey..... " said madam Wright gulping in nervousness .
" You ! You hateful thing ! " said master Wright angry .
" Welcome home master Wright ! " said Damian .
" Damian....... " said madam Wright worried .
" Tell me ! Where the hell you went ? What the hell did you do ? " said master Wright grabbing Damian from his shirt part around his neck .
" I simply went to the room you told me . " said Damian with a calm expression .
" Tell the truth you bastard ! " said master Wright furious .
Madam Wright tried to interfere and separate them but she didn't know how to do that . the servants were ordered to go out of the room and leave the three of them alone .
" You were the one who asked me to sleep with her . I tortured her to my heart's content . I messed her up in such a way that you will need to pay for surgery to reconstruct her intimate part . " said Damian with a devilish smirk .
" You....what ?! " said master Wright even angrier .
" I said that I totally screwed her . Furthermore , it was her first time . I quite enjoyed her screams of deep pain . Did she come crying and begging you ? Did you send her to the hospital ? She still managed to move . I am impressed . " said Damian .
" You ,
Master Wright held his head in a tired way and sat down on the couch .
" What have you done ?........Haaaaahhhh....! " said master Wright with a troubled expression .
" You drugged me to sleep with a bitch you paid . Unless I wanted to find myself half-dead in the hospital , I had to sleep with that thing you brought . " said
" Why are you such a stupid criminal bastard ?!!!! Why did I ever have a son like you ? " said mr Wright annoyed .
" Disown me if you want ! I don't wanna be your son either . " said Damian with a noncaring tone .
" Both of you stop it right this instant . What are you talking about ? How is my son a criminal when it was you who drugged him to sleep with that girl ?! " said madam Wright turning her face annoyed towards her husband .
" Haaaaahhhhhh.......The girl I sent you..........she said that she never met you . She suddenly got sick and was forced to leave...... " said master Wright and looked at Damian whose surprised expression had filled every corner of his face .
The two of them looked at mr Wright in shock . Both Damian and his mother were so shocked by what he said .
" She......was not the girl you chose ?......... " said Damian .
" No ! She isn't . I am not that cruel as to let a virgin girl give a stupid brat like you a child . " said mr Wright .
" Then.......who did I sleep with ? " said Damian confused .
" ......We still don't know who that girl was . Poor girl ! You said that she was even a virgin............It's all your fault . You are the core that creates problems from one to another . I have told you a thousand times , you aren't a child anymore . Until when are you going to stop being like this . Your mother and I will not interfere in your life and will support your decisions but you need to have a child . A child , simply a child........You aren't going to carry him nine months in your womb . Why be like this ?.........Is a child too much to ask for ? " said mr Wright with an angry and daw expression .
" Honey..... " said madam Wright with a sad expression and touched his shoulders .
" Just for your information , I wore a condom . " said Damian with a smirk then walked ahead .
" He he he he ! Do you think I don't know your level of IQ ? I took measures beforehand . " said master Wright with a smirk .
" What do you mean ? " said Damian confused .
" I made sure that all the condoms inside the hotel were sabotaged . At least I did a good job with that . If you have raped her in such a wild way the way you said it , she must have definitely gotten pregnant . " said mr Wright with a smirk .
" Do you really think she will keep the baby of the person who raped her ? " said Damian , keeping calm and showing a sly smirk .
" ........The purest and most unbreakable bond in this world is the bond between a mother and her child . You know it better , right ? " said mr Wright and Damian looked at his mother .
" ..........I have nothing to do with it , nor with how she ended up in my room . She was clearly drunk when she came to my room . You created the mess , now , take care of it yourself . " said Damian .
Master Wright looked at his wife then stared coldly at his son . Damian was confused by the current situation and decided to go , leaving his parents alone .
" I am going back . " said Damian .
" Damian......... " said madam Wright but Damian was so annoyed , angry and disappointed that he walked ahead ignoring her and leaving .
Madam Wright turned towards her husband with an annoyed expression .
" Why did you have to do that ? " said madam Wright .
" The legacy must continue . Don't you also want a grandchild ? " said master Wright .
Madam Wright sat down next to her husband and patted his shoulder .
" I understand your worry . I also want a grandchild but you shouldn't pressure Damian like that . I know how much you love and care for him , I know your worry about your work but........our son doesn't like girls and we should support him as his parents . he will want to have children one day but right now........he just doesn't want to . It's not the right time . We should wait patiently until he decides to have a child . Listen to me , he will eventually want a child of his own . Don't worry too much . " said madam Wright .
" Haaaahhhh.........I just don't want him to be alone . He is too obsessed with work and he still doesn't realize how important it is to have a child . A child will make his life happy . He is my pride but I want him to enjoy the touch of his biological child . The most healthy way to make one is by sleeping with a woman and not by artificial insemination . " said mr Wright with a troubled expression .
Damian could hear everything from the door and sigh annoyed .When he closed his eyes , he started to think about the girl telling him that she had no idea what he was talking about and that she had a fiance .
' .......It seems like she told the truth..........Still........what was she doing in my room ? From the way she strongly kept refusing me yesterday , I could tell that she was sincere even though it was hard to believe it . What actually happened yesterday ? ' thought Damian with a troubled expression then his phone started ringing .
He looked at his phone then he saw there was more work to be done .
' Even now , they won't leave me to rest.......I will have to tell an investigator to look for that girl . ' thought Damian with an annoyed expression and left the mansion of his parents .
Antonia woke up the next morning starting at her luggage . She felt extremely empty , like an empty shell . Even crying all night wasn't gonna help her with her current state . At that moment , the door started to ring like crazy and there was even someone knocking on the door like crazy . Antonia flinched a little scared when she heard the door ring like crazy . She went to the door and looked at it from the small eye on the door . When she saw who it was , she opened the door and found herself being hugged tightly by another girl .
" Antonia , you silly girl !!!!!! " said the girl with a crying tone , hugging her tightly .
" If you hug me even tighter , you are gonna choke me Valeria . " said Antonia .
" Ups ! Sorry ! " said Valeria and let go of her .
Valeria was the one and only close friend of hers . She was Antonia's best friend . She looked at Antonia and could see the bad state she was in .
" ..........Are you alright ? " said Valeria .
" Who told you ? " said Antonia with a forced smile .
" Your mother . She told me everything . I understand that.....what happened was a hard thing to be able to surpass but you can't beat yourself like this . " said Valeria .
" What can I do Valeria ? " said Antonia , forcing herself to smile .
" ......Okay ! I allow you to be sad for only three days . After that , I want you to start being happy . You should even celebrate getting rid of those burdensome rules . You are free Antonia . Enjoy the taste of freedom for once in your life . " said Valeria with a smile .
" A freedom..........I earned it by losing the only family that loved me , my mother . I don't know how to feel . " said Antonia .
Valeria knew how much Antonia and her mother loved each other and couldn't help but feel sad .
" Damn ! I wish I was a president so that I could take down those stupid old-fashioned rules . " said Valeria with an annoyed tone .
" He he he he....... " laughed Antonia .
" Finally you are laughing . You look beautiful when you laugh like that . " said Valeria holding her cheeks .
" I am glad that you are my best friend Valeria . " said Antonia with a smile then looked at her luggage .
" You ?..... " said Antonia confused .
" Oh , I thought of coming to keep you company for a while . I have heard that this apartment has an excellent jacuzzi . We will eat to our heart's content tonight . " said Valeria making Antonia laugh again .
" ....Yeah , let's eat to our heart's content . " said Antonia with a smile .
Valeria and Antonia spent the next four months together in Antonia's apartment . They would spend all their time together and Valeria tried her best to make Antonia forget about that painful experience . With Valeria accompanying her , Antonia was able to ease the pain she felt in her heart .
Antonia started to feel bad lately . She consulted with Valeria and the both of them decided to go to the medic . When they arrived at teh hospital , they entered the doctor's study and handed over some analysis that Antonia had to do when she entered the hospital ." Doctor , I feel strange lately . I am more hungry than usual and feel sleepy . I sleep a lot and..........I do have some strange mood changes . Is there anything wrong with me ? " said Antonia ." He he he ! Nothing is wrong with you . You are just pregnant . " said the doctor with a laugh when he saw the worried expression on Antonia's face ." WHAT ?!! " said Valeria with a super shocked expression ." Yes ! Your friend is four months pregnant and is very healthy . " said the doctor .When Antonia heard this , she remained speechless . The first thought that came to her mind and the first word that came out of her mouth was ' abortion ' ." Can I get an abortion doctor ? I do
" Not only that but I also became pregnant with the child of a stranger and nearly lost my life to give birth to him . What kind of blessing is this Alex ? What have I done wrong to deserve such pain ? Why am I , the innocent being punished while the real evil ones live freely , unpunished and happy ? " said Antonia with the tears falling, even more , making her brown eyes red ." Life , Antonia ! Life itself is the biggest blessing . All the other things can be solved but if you die , you can never have the chance to make a change , to feel happy.......to get revenge on the people who have wronged you . " said Alex with a thoughtful expression ." Heh !.........How funny it is . The only person who is helping me now is the twin brother of my ex-fiance . So ironic ! " said Antonia with a bitter laugh ." Hey ! I was your friend before you and my brother met . Whatever happened between you two , doesn't influence my opinion of you . Especially when I
" More than I have ever been in my life . It isn't easy to live when feeling trapped Valeria . " said Antonia then covered Angelo with the blanket and turned the phone towards her face ." Valeria........if I were to go through a total change......through a metamorphose.......will you still care about me the same way as you do now ? " said Antonia with a bit of a scared and reluctant tone .She had lost a lot of dear people to her . She couldn't lose Valeria too ." Antonia........what are you talking about ? You are making me worry . Are you alright ? " asked Valeria confused ." I will tell you everything after you answer my question . Will, we still be best friends and care for each other the same way after I change ? " said Antonia with a serious tone ." Will you change your heart ? " asked Valeria ." No , I will change my image . My heart will remain the same.......It will sure feel like a huge burden was lifted from my shoulder
Antonia entered the operation hall with Alex holding her hand ." You are still in time to change your mind . " said Alex ." For me time has long passed . Now , my only option is to do this operation at any cost . " said Antonia with a determined expression ." Alright ! " said Alex and took Antonia inside the operation room .Antonia layed on the bed and looked at the ceiling with a determined expression as the nurses and attendants that would help Alex prepared the tools . One of the nurses took her arm and placed took the injection she would do Antonia in her hands ." Antonia , this will put you to sleep . You will feel nothing . " said Alex with an insecure expression ." Thank you Alex ! " said Antonia with a smile .When Alex saw Antonia smiling happily , all the doubts that he had about her turning from a female to a male
Antonio's phone rang . When he checked at it , he realized that Valeria had sent a message .' Antonia , there was a problem with the schedule so my flight got cancelled . I will be arriving tomorrow at the same time . To apologize to the people , the air company has decided to pay for our staying tonight at a luxurious hotel . I will make sure to try all the delicacies at the restaurant . It will save up a lot of money . Scusa ! Love you both ! See ya tomorrow ! ' " She never changes . " said Antonio with a smile ." All right ! Angelo is ready . Let's go . " said Alex ." Change of plans guys . Valeria will be arriving tomorrow . " said Antonio ." What ? " said Alex ." Why ? " said Angelo a bit sad ." There was a change of her flight by the air company . We will go get her at the same time tomorrow . " said AAntonio ." It can't be helped then . We will go take aunt Valeria tomorrow . " said Angelo and walked tow
" What are you blabbing about ? Not saying me any attention to the person you are supposed to receive . I am starting to doubt whether you have come here to get me or to catch up with your friends . " said a voice from behind ." Are you talking to me ? If it were on my own accord , I would have offered to pay you the taxi once you arrived at the apartment . " said Alex with a devilish smirk ." Very funny ! Where's Antonia ? " asked Valeria .Antonio turned his head around and saw Valeria holding her luggage ." Valeria ?......I missed you . " said Antonio with a warm smile .When Valeria saw Antonio , she took off her sunglasses as her jaw fell . She stared at him with a shocked expression as she checked every corner of his body ." .......Handsome ! " said Valeria with a dreamy expression ." He he he ! Thanks , you are cute too . " said Antonio ." Hey , handsome boy ! Do you have a girlfriend ? If you don't how about I try
" Uncle , why are you treating me so coldly when you promised my mommy that you would take me with you ? " said Angelo ." Kid , I don't even know you . Go find your mother . " said Damian ." Listen to him kid and go away . " said the man ." Where should I go sir ? I am all alone here . You adults are all liars . Kids are the only ones who still speak some truth in this world made up of lies . " said Angelo with a smile .' Is this kid even normal ? ' thought Damian with a shocked expression as he stared at the kid .He realized that the kid was smart enough to understand the situation but was shocked to see that the kid wasn't going anywhere ." I don't have time to lose with your shit talk . Walk ahead while holding his hand kid or else things will get ugly . " said the man .Angelo held Damian's hand and walked ahead with them .In the meantime , Antonio and the others were still waiting for Angelo to arrive .
After grabbing his hand , Antonio pulled him up then raised his arm around his neck ." Hold onto me ! Angelo , hurry ! " said Antonio ." Yes , mommy ! " said Angelo .After grabbing the two of them , Antonio hurried outside and saw Alex with Valeria ." Godmother ? " said Angelo coughing ." Sweetie !!! " said Valeria with a worried expression and took Angelo in her arms ." Everyone in the car , we have to get out of here as soon as possible . " said Antonio with a serious expresison .Valeria entered the car with Angelo while Alex helped Antonio to put the man in the car ." Check his wound while I drive . There's a bomb inside the building and It may explode anytime . " said Antonio .Alex nodded his head while Antonio sat on the driver's seat and started the car at full speed . Antonio has always been passionate about cars ever since he was little but he couldn't act recklessly and show a non-elegant
“ 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
