They turned their heads and saw Damian standing next to them .
“ Good explanation……I couldn’t expect a better one . “ said Antonio with a smile as he looked at him .
“ You are complimenting me ?…..That’s new and interesting . “ said Damian with a smile .
“ I am glad you look good . Also…………Thank you very much Damian ! “ said Antonio with his eyes filled with tears .
Damian raised his hand and softly wiped his cheeks .
“ Don’t worry ! He is gonna be fine . You have to be strong for him . “ said Damian with a tender tone and warm smile .
Antonio nodded in agreement
“ Antonio , is Angelo alright ? “ asked mr Karlo , taking the phone from madam Laura . “ Yes , he is fine…… “ said Antonio trying to sound as calm as possible . “ Antonio……are you alright ? “ asked mr Karlo when hearing his voice shake a little . “ I….am fine . I gotta go now . Take good care of mom . “ said Antonio and closed the call before his voice betrayed him .“ Finally I caught up to you . You shouldn’t run so fast alone Antonio . You used to be a girl . You know how hard it is to run with the shoes I am wearing . “ said Valeria with a tired look . When she looked at Antonio’s face , she saw the tear flowing down and Antonio who continuously gulped as if something was chocking him . “ Antonio…… “ said Valeria with a worried look . “ It hurts Valeria…….This pain……This connection……This feeling……..everything hurts . This pain is choking me to death . “ said Antonio crying . Valeria was sad as she couldn’t help him in any way despite wanting to . She hugged him tightly and
“ Damian , you better tell me . I don’t like putting people to report me on everything that you do so be a good boy and tell me the whole story . “ said madam Diana . “ If I tell you , you are sure to nag me for a very very very long time . “ said Damian . “ I promise I won’t nag you . I just want to know . If it’s something concerning your health , you better go and get checked . I am serious . “ said madam Diana . “ Are you sure ? “ asked Damian with a disbelieving expression . “ I promised you , didn’t I ?…….I know that you are very special with your composure and body structure so you should be extra careful . “ said madam Diana . “ I am fine mother . There’s nothing wrong with me . It’s about Angelo , Antonio’s son . “ said Damian . “ Angelo ?…..Right ! I forgot to ask you . Antonio already has a son . If you two get together , are you going to adopt Angelo as your son ? “ said madam Diana . “ Originally In thought like that . After all we do get along pretty well and he i
Valeria couldn’t bring herself to admit it so she just nodded her head in confirmation . Antonio got up with an annoyed expression then checked Angelo’s forehead to see whether he had a fever or not . “ If you want…….we can go too another hospital . “ said Valeria , tying her best to be careful with her words so that she wouldn’t annoy Antonio . “ It’s fine . Angelo got treated here last night . He is weak and I don’t want his health to be affected because of my feelings . “ said Antonio looking at Angelo with a worried expression . As he caressed his soft cheeks , Angelo slowly opened his eyes . “ Mmmm…….Mommy ? “ said Angelo opening his eyes and looking at Antonio . “ Angelo ?…..Angelo , are you alright ?……My son ! You finally woke up . “ said Antonio . “ Mommy , I am fine . Why wouldn’t I be ? “ said Angelo with a smile . His smile was so bright and her looked so energetic and happy . It was hard to believe that he experienced an accident that nearly took his life yesterday
“ Damian , this…..this……this is unbelievable . “ said madam Diana .Damian looked at her expression and noticed that something big must have happened for his mother , a woman who always kept her calm even in the most irritating situations had become so nervous looking and a total mess . Madam Diana sat on the couch and drank the tea the secretary brought in . She sighed a little then took out a file and gave it to Damian . Before he could speak again , Damian ordered the secretary to go out and close the door , not allowing anyone in . His secretary nodded her head in conformation and closed the door as he requested then left . “ Mom , why are you like this ? What happened ? “ asked Damian .“ Look at it for yourself son . “ said madam Diana handing him the file . Damian opened the file and noticed that the file had the results of the DNA test performed again . When he looked at the response he noticed that it was the same . “ 99.9% I am the biological father ?!………Are the new machi
“ Go ahead . I am curious to see whether you are brave enough to slap me . “ said Damian . “ Don’t test me Damian ! “ said Antonio . “ I am testing you Antonio . “ said Damian . Antonio managed to release himself from his arms and slapped Damian hard on the face . “ You….You dared to slap me ? “ said Damian angrily but mostly shocked . Others wouldn’t even dare to stare at him in an annoyed way despite everything he did yet Antonio not only dared to glare at him , he also dared to slap him . “ This slap is nothing compared to the pain you have made me endure . “ said Antonio with tears starting to fall from his eyes down his cheeks . Damian was surprised to see Antonio in that state . He could see it in his eyes that they never shined with sincerity or a bit of warmth like before . When he looked at him , he could only see anger , sadness and delusion . “ Antonio……why are you looking at me like that ? “ asked Damian confused as he was at a total loss to why he was so mad at h
Ever since the day they fought , ever since Damian learned of the horrible reason behind Antonio’s anger , he spent the days drinking and totally neglected his work . Derrick and Mia did their best to stay near him but they couldn’t do anything to lift his spirits up . When mr Adam came from abroad he had already heard the news of Damian not paying attention to his work , he couldn’t believe it and just laughed but when he arrived home and saw the messy condition Damian was while staying in his room , he remained shocked . “ I only went abroad for three weeks and this happens ? Diana , what is wrong with our son ? “ asked mr Adam who was too shocked to even take a proper break as soon as he arrived . Madam Diana looked at her husband and told him everything that had happened while he was away . Mr Adam was shocked to hear what his son had discovered and he was even more worried at how he was handling the situation . He entered inside his room and saw countless cigarettes , empty bot
“ And ?….. “ said Antonio with a smirk . “ I want to be your husband………..I want you to allow me to love you…..Are you satisfied with my compensation ? “ said Damian trying to smile but the nervousness , lack of confidence and fear of being rejected was clearly showing in his eyes . Antonio laughed a little and remembered the first time he saw him when he entered at the company . Everyone would bow their head to that powerful person but that powerful person would bow his head and get on his knees before him . The strong mountain that made everyone tremble in fear while looking in admiration was swearing his whole life to him . “ You just want to make me forgive you…….If that’s the only reason then…. “ said Antonio but Damian grabbed his hand and placed it on his heart . “ That’s not the only reason . I…..have a much more important reason . I know I am being selfish I really can’t see anyone else as my other half more than you . I love you Antonio . “ said Damian with a determined t
The two of them smiled at each other and Damian couldn’t contain his happiness . “ Antonio…. “ said Damian with a dreamy look . “ Yes ? “ asked Antonio . “ Will you marry me ? “ said Damian with his head on Antonio’s lap . Antonio looked at him with a confused expression and mostly surprised . “ Isn’t it……a bit too soon ? “ asked Antonio with a smile .“ I have waited long enough . All these years wasted because of a stupid misunderstanding . I love you so much that I want to make you mine right away . “ said Damian with a smile . “ Oh , and do you have the power for such a decision ? “ asked Antonio . “ You really like to test me , do you ? “ said Damian with a smile . “ What can I do ? I want to know whether there are any limits to you or not .” Said Antonio . “ The only one who can set limits to me is you my dear Antonio . I am a servant and prisoner of your love . “ said Damian with a smile . Antonio felt a bit shy as his cheeks blushed . He got up from the couch where
