Antonio's phone buzzed with an incoming call, breaking off the warmed hug.The persistent tone reverberated off the high ceilings, echoing through the cavernous room.“Could it be Angela?”He thought and took out his phone from his pocket, he saw a voicemail notification from Angela but was distracted by the unknown name incoming call.He also noticed it was an unfamiliar number flashing before him. Curiosity piqued, he hesitated for a moment.“Angela?”Grandma asked interrupting his thoughts.“No…no Grandma, not Angela, excuse me a minute?”Antonio said to his Grandma, who nodded with a smile and watched him walk to the far end of the place.“Hello?” Antonio spoke, his voice filled with a blend of caution and curiosity.A soft and slightly hesitant voice responded on the other end.“Antonio? Is this Antonio Montero?”Antonio's eyes snapped open, and his heart skipped a beat and his knuckles turned white as he gripped the phone tightly. That voice!It reminded him of someone.It co
Angela's world had been turned upside down. She walked through the busy streets, her footsteps carrying her forward without any clear destination in mind.“It's all over, isn't it?”She thought and smiled, trying to fight back her tears.“Things will never go back to the same, I mean this is Diana we are talking about, his one and only Diana,” she scoffed with a sarcastic eye roll with tears soaking her eyes wet.“I am not even a competition to her, it would have all been avoided if only I told him from the very beginning about Damon.He manipulated me all along while working well Diana, he knew quite well that she was alive. I blindly played right into his trap, he got all he wanted and stabbed me in the back, it was all his plan all along, how could I have missed that?”She rubbed her elbows as though she were in a lost soul in winter. The encounter with Diana certainly left her feeling exposed, vulnerable, and consumed by fear. She could feel the weight of the blackmail hanging ov
Antonio stood in his balcony, his phone in hand, as he stared at it, dying to see the call answered and. His mind was like a storm of worry and confusion, his thoughts circling Angela.He had tried to call her multiple times, his messages growing increasingly frantic as the hours passed. Each unanswered call only fueled his anxiety, as he wondered why she wasn't responding, where she could be, and if she were safe?What if this was related to the strange call asking him to meet up?He was breaking down and suffocating with worry.As the minutes turned into hours, Antonio's worry gave way to frustration, then anger. Why was she doing this to him?She had read his message then why is she not replying if she is safe?Suddenly, his mind raced with possibilities, as he thought of someone he could call to find out more about Angela's whereabouts.Her friendHer sister KerryOr her brother Jace.Definitely Jace, however he knew that if Angela wasn't answering her own phone, she might have
Antonio laughed at his reaction as expected of Jace. "Of course I will work on that but listen, Jace, I'm still concerned about Angela, I know, you must be concerned too”.He replied, his voice serious. “I'll keep an eye out for her, I promise she won't be in any danger as long as I live…so don't worry about her safety”.Jace was silent for a minute.“I will let you know her whereabouts after I call her”."I'd appreciate that, Jace," Antonio said, a weight of worry pressing down on him once more.“Also thank you Antonio for loving my sister,Angela is an angel to us”.“You always say that she is an Angel”.Antonio smiled.“Well she is!”The flustered teen snapped.“I am not doubting that,she is an ANGEL to me too, believe me I know..I love her so much..and all I want is to be happy..that will only happen when I am with her…assured that the rest of my life will be spent together with her”. Jace smiled.“You two will be okay, Antonio. You'll see. I will talk to her."Antonio thanked J
“On my way home, we will talk later, love you”.Angela replied and sent the message to Antonio.She sighed deeply after delivering the message, staring at the window deep in thought.As the cab lurched to a stop, Angela gasped and blinked absentmindedly then slowly she looked out of the window. They have arrived at her address.She sighed and stood to her feet, her body heavy with exhaustion and sadness.She paid the cab driver and made her way out of the cab, her eyes fixed into space, her mind consumed by thoughts of what would happen next.She entered the elevator to the last floor, which is a penthouse, brain calculating fast as she pressed the button for the penthouse floor.She knew for sure that Antonio must have contacted her little brother Jace and thought of a good lie to tell. As the elevator rose, she felt her tummy rumble not of hunger but fear, all her plans seemed perfect but the idea of leaving Antonio scares her more than she ever imagined.When the doors slid open,
Antonio simply nodded and stepped out of the car.He walked to the bridge his hands tucked into his pockets, impatiently waiting.He stared across the bridge, admiring the breathtaking view of the water's surface shimmering with the reflection of the twinkling lights.It was just like the old times when he visited the site.He was avoiding having flashbacks about the site and Diana, yet he couldn't help but appreciate the beauty of the site before him, it was one of the most romantic places to be.It was pretty much enchanting and relaxing.Antonio felt the gentle breeze caressed his cheeks, carrying the faint scent of nearby blooming flowers.He wasn't alone at the bridge; many couples were there hanging around, drinking and doing their businesses with their love partners.After waiting for a short period without seeing anyone.Antonio grew impatient. His calls are being ignored and yet no sign of this stranger.Is this a joke?He thought.His gaze darted around, searching for signs
Angela sighed hotly, the hot afternoon heat was oppressive but not as oppressive as the loud voices of her sister and her friends going crazy over some idol.“Antonio Montero! The youngest son of the famous Montero family! The unreal and awfully handsome hotshot of Hollywood whom many women idolised as their ideal husband”.The voice of a news broadcaster from the TV echoed in her ears, doubling the throbbing aching pain in her head. “Even the rich and famous are awed by the wealth that surrounds them.A family of idols and beauties. Of Course the saying the beautiful ones are not yet born doesn't apply to the Isandros because these besties are from the future and talking about wealth, you got that right, your own and favourite is once again at the top of the youngest billionaires chart, handsome Antonio Montero.a spectacular.. young..”She sighed as the voice of the newscaster continued to mess with her head.“Oh my gosh he is such an Angel, how can someone be so pretty and handsome
She licked her lower lip."Well don't get too full of yourself,I can still say no if I want to".His glance shifted to her cleavage, secretly he compared her full bosom to the girl he had last night.Apart from her cleavage, her pale flawless face and long Blonde hair that goes well with her light blue eyes doesn't seem to impress him."We have a deal then."He said with one eyebrow quirked.Shelley smiled back and shook her head with a cigar clamped in-between her teeth.Antonio clicked his fingers and the serious looking man on black suit standing beside him gave her an envelope."It's interestingly fat."She chuckled with excitement."100,000 USD will do that to any envelope" he smiled.Shelley peeped into the envelope in doubt but the sight of the thousand dollar bills cleared every air of doubt,she looked up with a long grin on her face.Exhaling a cloud of smoke from her mouth ,she chuckled softly."I didn't expect less from Antonio Montero himself.""Good for you then ,so all y
