"Camila!" Amora's face lit up with a radiant smile as Camila's name escaped her lips, Ignoring the presence of Antonio, Camila dashed towards the bed and launched herself into Amora's arms, causing her to wince slightly from the pain, Camila's voice trembled with concern as she studied Amora's face, "Are you hurt?" she inquired, her gaze shifting from Amora's eyes to her body, "What happened to you?” she pleaded, her gaze drifting lower to Amora's abdomen. "Amora, what's wrong?" Camila implored, her voice now laced with confusion and worry. Camila's gaze turned to Antonio who had already stood up and ready to leave. "Sir, what happened to her?" She asked while Antonio arched his brows and a tinge of shock lining his face, His gaze never left Camila's for a while, until he retorted, "That's none of your business," with a touch of scorn in his voice.He redirected his attention to Amora, his gaze speaking volumes. "Your friend is here now. Hope you're happy?" he remarked."Only i

“I demand to know why she is wearing such an expensive dress!” Antonio boomed, his gaze skewering Camila like a sword.His eyes still pinning Camila, he strode forward, who instinctively recoiled behind Amora,“Why is she wearing your dress, Amora?” He thundered.“She...she’s my friend.” Amora stuttered vulnerably, “ It’s okay for her to borrow my clothes...” she faltered, his masculine aura enveloping her like a thick fog.“She’s your friend doesn’t mean she can wear my Mistress’s clothes. I didn’t buy them for you so you can share them!” Antonio bellowed, the fury in his voice ricocheting off the walls of the closet.“Those garments were purchased for you, not for your companion to share. It is unacceptable!” Came his hard voice again.Amora’s voice quavering, “Antonio, please, stop this! Camila is my friend and...”“And what?” His eyes, smoldering with rage, locked on Camila, quivering in a secluded corner of the closet.“Take it off, now!” he demanded.Amora’s face flushed with em

Ma, we can’t kill Ignacio, he’s been held in Antonio’s private apartment and infiltrating into that place is asking to he killed. There’s no way we are going to get in there without getting caught. Antonio’s new bodyguard is a force to deal with.”Vittoria walked into her room visibly restless,“What am I to do, Donatus?” she raged, “That man, Ignacio, he knows too much! If Antonio’s minions lay their hands upon him, he will divulge all that we have worked so hard to conceal. My father will be in so much trouble and I may end up loosing the company and you know how hard we’ve worked to bring the company to this stage.”“We can always deny everything he divulges to Antonio.”“I know Antonio better than anyone. If Ignacio survives and tells Antonio what he knows, I will be in deep trouble.” Vittoria exclaimed.“It’s impossible to get into Antonio’s apartment, Vittoria,” Donatus stated firmly. “After the incident with the wiretapping, Antonio increased the security around his residence.

"What do you mean Mateo has been poisoned?" he exclaimed, his voice rising with panic while everyone's attention turned to his face. Vittoria snapped back, "Stop asking me that question and get back home!""Where are you? Aren't you with Mateo?" Antonio asked while sitting up on the plush jet seat.Vittoria replied, "No, I'm at the Mayor's campaign with my father. No one is with Mateo, and the nanny can't..."Antonio's fury coursed through him and he abruptly ended the call, his fingers curling into fists, "At a mayor's campaign when your son is in danger." Eduardo, sensing Antonio's tension asked, "Is everything all right, sir?"Antonio's face contorted with anguish expressed his frustration through a low growl as he raked his fingers through his hair."Call my bodyguards at home immediately. I must know the status of my son, now." Amora and Camila exchanged concerned looks as Eduardo swiftly sprung into action, dialing the phone numbers of the guards."Yes sir," Eduardo replied a

"You did well, son. You always know how to protect me. You deserve a reward for this," Buccolini said with pride as he spoke to Antonio. "You never fail me, Antonio. You were the right boy to take under my wing all those years ago. What do you want? Just name it.""I will let you know if I require anything," Antonio said before ending the call.He glanced down at his Ignacio's leg, which was bleeding heavily. Antonio let the gun fall to the floor. "Clean up this mess," he ordered the bodyguards, turning his attention to Ignacio."I would decapitate you if anyone found out you survived this," he threatened, his words cold and menacing.Ignacio, trembling with fear, replied, "Thank you, sir.""Get him out of here and keep a close watch on him. Track his every move and look into what he was talking about earlier," Antonio whispered into Eduardo's ear.He sighed deeply, his footsteps slowing as he stepped out. Eduardo quickly followed, concern evident on his face."Sir, are you alright?"
