“Maya sure has some nerve,” he muttered internally.“You didn’t have to kill her,” her voice ringing into Antonio's ears with a mixture of fear. Their faces mere inches apart, Antonio’s gaze locked with hers. Then he frowned, "Make sure Amora doesn't meet anyone and no one goes in to see her." He instructed staring at the bodygaurds, "No one, I repeat, no one is allowed to meet with Amora or even approach her. If anything were to happen to her again, I will not hesitate to deal with you accordingly." His words sent a shiver down the guards' spines. Turning on his heel, Antonio stalked away.The chauffeur drove him to his destination. Dahalia Hotels appeared before him, its grandeur reminding him of the night he found Amora shivering in her drenched dress, begging for a room. A nostalgic smile briefly tugged at Antonio's lips, but it vanished as quickly as it had come. His focus was jarred as he almost collided with a young lady."Watch where you..." He stopped when he recognized
“What is she doing here?” Vittoria asked her assistant before turning to the maid, “What is the problem?” she queried, her face contouring into a soft frown. “And how did you manage to get in here?” Vittoria’s voice shook as she spoke, her eyes darting nervously from the maid to the reporters gathered in the room. Her assistant was following closely behind her when a reporter asked, “What’s going on? Why is your maid shaking like that? Is she okay?”“I don’t know,” Vittoria replied wearing a brittle smile on her face and desperately attempted to maintain a facade of composure.Turning to the maid, “Is everything okay? Did you have a disagreement with any of your colleagues, or perhaps one of the other maids?” she inquired with feigned nonchalance.The maid’s voice was shaking as she looked up at Vittoria. “You made me poison Amora,” she said, crying. Vittoria was terrified, her breath becoming heavy and fast. The reporters moved closer, watching Vittoria’s reaction to the maid’s co
“Ahhhhh!!!” Camila screamed as the bullet crashed into the wall, causing it to break, the pieces falling on her and she masked her head with her hands.“Bryan please, I beg of you. I said that I will pay you.”“When? It’s been more than three days, isn’t it?” Bryan asked pressing the gun to the back of her head while her forehead kissed the floor.“Can you please put the gun down? Please, we need to talk this out. I said I will pay you.” “I will pay you is not the answer I need from you at the moment. I want my money!!!” Bryan yelled and grabbed her hair, yanking her up the floor and pushing her to the wall. “I swear, I would pay you. I’m waiting for the right time to ask Amora for money, she’s going through a lot right now, I don’t want to ask her about anything at the moment.”“Listen to yourself, Camila.” Bryan replied sharply glaring into Camila’s shameless eyes, “How can you even propose such a thing?” he seethed, “To ask for Amora’s help, when you were the very one who kidnap
"They crossed a line," he declared, his gaze boring into Antonio's retreating back. As Antonio mingled with other influential shareholders, Buccolini's snort drew the attention of his friends, who returned his gaze with smirking grins. "The father stole from me, and in turn, I was forced to take measures to ensure he was dealt with," Buccolini continued, his expression betraying no sign of remorse. "It was the only option available.""Does Antonio know?" One of Buccolini's friend asked.A dismissive shrug of Buccolini's shoulders was the only answer they received in return, "Are you going to inform him?" he retorted, "You wouldn't dare risk your livelihood for something as trivial as a bit of knowledge, would you?”The man chuckled nervously exchanging glances with his colleagues, "Why would I tell him? The past is the past. He wouldn't have been a great man if not for your benevolence. He should be so lucky to be alive." Rushing into the room, Mr. Francesco dropped to his knees
"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
“Sir, we both know that your daughter is way ward,”The short man frowned deeply stepping towards Donatus, “My daughter is not way ward, she’s just a little foolish,” playing with the pipe in his grasp, “She is a little astray but it doesn’t mean everyone has the right to treat my daughter as they wanted.”“I’m sorry, sir, but I cannot save Ignacio,” Donatus said in a solemn voice.“You must save Ignacio,” the short man insisted, pointing his finger in Donatus’ direction. “If you knew what Buccolini and his friends said to me last time, you would understand why it’s important to save Ignacio,” he added.“Sending one of our men to reach him is too dangerous due to the thoroughness of the new bodyguard in Antonio’s house.” Donatus continued with his face etched with utmost worry.“New bodyguard?” The short man echoed with his brows knitted together into a tight frown.“His name is Eduardo, he started working for Antonio on Mr. Buccolini’s order.”he revealed.The short man let out a burs
“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
"You may need my help getting off the plane.""Eddie," Amora breathed out while he smiled.Eduardo stretched out a hand towards Amora and she grasped it letting her weight fall on him. At their touch, there was a current which sent shocking electricity causing through their skins. Only mere inches separating their faces, their eyes glued into each other. "Eduardo," Amora whispered, "What brings you here?" Amora asked, with an awkward expression on her face. "Don't tell me you work for Antonio," she continued, lowering her gaze to Eduardo's lips."I work for him now," Eduardo replied, forcing out a breathless smile. "It just happened," he added before letting go of Amora and clutching his hands awkwardly.Amora nodded her head and said, "Uh...about last time...."Eduardo interrupted her, "It's okay. You don't have to stress too much about that." He shifted from a relieved expression to a soft, hard glare and continued, "I think I'll be going now to attend to his needs.""Wait!" Amor
