' 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
