Valeria though that maybe he was annoyed because she had left the luggages at the door . She knew very well how much Antonio hated for others to leave the things in a messy way .
“ I…..I am sorry . I….just arrived and thought of watching a movie then I would take my things back to their places . “ said Valeria with a smile .
Antonio walked towards her with an a serious look then placed the bowls of her hands to the table then hugged her .
“ Antonio ? “ said Valeria surprised when he saw his shoulders shaking .
“ ….Valeria……..I feel so bad . “ said Antonio hugging her .
Valeria patted his shoulders and the both of them sat on the couch .
“ How could he take our daughter like that Valeria ?…….If I he gets sick and comes into my hands , I will poison him with a poison that will make him slowly die in pain for what he did . Are you “ Pffft ! Heh…..Your daughter , huh ?……How about you two have a real daughter together ? After you two do , we will marry her with my kid . For a genius like you Alex , I am sure you would like a high IQ grandson or granddaughter . “ said Antonio with a smirk nodding his head . “ Hmmm…….It makes sense . What you are saying makes a lot of sense ! You better remember this Antonio . I will come to get your son for my daughter in twenty-five years . “ said Alex . “ Ehh ?…..What nonsense are the two of you saying ? “ said Valeria l
“ Why would you even think like that ?…..It’s obvious he likes me . “ said Damian . “ He likes you and I have noticed that but I know that he would never admit it himself first . I bet that you couldn’t stand it anymore . “ said Derrick with a smirk as he winked at Damian . “ …….You really like to gossip . Since you have such a good information about me then I suggest you start telling me what happened between you and Mia . “ said Damian with a smirk . “ Emmmm……..we kissed and made…..up….. “ said Derrick with a nervous tone . “ You do realise that Mia is my cousin right ? “ said Damian .“ Yes ! I
“ ……Is this the place where you need to be boss ? “ said Antonio .“ Yeah , the Landar family . It’s mr Karlo’s house . We need to discuss the final steps of the project . After we are done , we can go back and you can finally be free . “ said Damian looking right at his eyes . When Antonio looked at the Landar mansion’s gates , he gulped as he stared at them . He never thought that he would be here again . “ Mommy , are you alright ? Your hands are sweaty . “ said Angelo . “ Eh ?…….Mommy is alright sweetie . “ said Antonio with a nervous smile . “ I bet your mommy is nervous that he is about to enter such a big and beautiful mansion . “ said Damian with a smirk . “
“ What is the story about , mommy ? “ asked Angelo . “ ……..Once upon a time, in this place , lived a beautiful princess . She had long dark hair and fair eyes . Even though she was the eldest princess , unlike the other princess , she wasn’t treated in a good way . She was often bullied by others . The family had strict rules . Females and males received different education from one another and weren’t allowed to interfere with each other’s classes . “ said Antonio . “ Really ? It was that strict ? But…..why ? “ asked Angelo surprised when hearing him . “ Yes ! It still is , even to this day . Princesses were raised by the family to become outstanding brides to be married off to other m
“ Because he is annoying . “ said Antonio with a smile . “ I think Damian is really cool and handsome . “ said Angelo smiling . Antonio looked at his son and was reminded of Damian . He still could hardly get rid of what happened between them out of his mind . ‘ …haaaah……It was really weird having to be near him all day today…....If I could keep my cool today in certain situations was only thanks to Angelo . ‘ thought Antonio with his cheeks still blushing a little . “ Well said Angelo ! Even though you are quite young , you can see better than your ‘ mommy ‘ . “ said Damian with a smirk .Antonio raised his head surprised when he saw D
“ ………You aren’t qualified to call her your daughter . Even a stranger is more qualified to call her his daughter than you . “ said Antonio .“ You annoying brat ! Quit the blabbing and tell me already . Where is she ? “ said mr Karlo grabbing Antonio from his shirt . “ ….You want to know ? Fine ! I will tell you . Your daughter is dead . She died of illness . She had a bit more time to live but she chose to end her life . “ said Antonio with a serious look in his eyes as he glared at mr Karlo . Mr Karlo looked at him shocked and frozen . Mr Donovan and Annette got up form their seats with a shocked expression . The most shocked of all was madam Laura .
“ That document is the document where Antonia leaves me the apartment and a utmost of the money she got from you guys . Next to it , is her death certificate . Your detective couldn’t even find such simple details mr Karlo . “ said Antonio looking at him . “ ……If these documents really existed , then my detectives would have found out about it long ago and not wait to get information from you . These are fake . Totally fake ! My daughter isn’t dead . “ said mr Karlo . “ I believe that I made myself clear when I said that apart from madam Laura none of you has the right to refer to her as your daughter or granddaughter . I will never allow her would to be tormented by hearing such words . She always used to tell me how cruelly you casted her out when she wears framed for the incident that happened at that
“ I don’t think I can agree with you this time boss . I will be resigning as of today . You said that I would be allowed to resign if I accompanied you to your last mission . I believe that , from this moment on , my life and your life have no link . “ said Antonio with a polite tone . “ It looks to me like you have forgotten what just happened . If you enter the Landar family formally then you will have to meet me on business meetings , deals and other events . “ said Damian with a grin . “ I will make sure to skip the events you attend or even if I am forced to attend those events , I will do my best to be as far away from you as possible . “ said Antonio with a polite smile . Damian walked near Antonio and leaned his head on his shoulder a little .
“ 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
