After he arrived home , Damian took his mask off and his tie then threw it to the couch . He turned the lights on then went to his room to take the brooch , the watch and the diamond he had placed on his tie . The image of Antonio's dance couldn't disappear from his mind .
' ....I have never seen such a graceful dance before . Only the females in the Landar family can manage to dance like that yet he knew precisely how to dance . He looked so magnificent . Just what kind of person is he....... ' though Damian with a smile .
He went to the bathroom and took a nice warm shower then dressed in his nightclothes and sat on the couch . As soon as he sat down , his phone started to ring . It was Derrick .
" Boss , I apologize for calling you so late . " said Derrick .
" You aren't really apologetic but anyway , I will let you off for the sake of your good job with the investigation of the shareholders . " said Damian .
" Wow ! It seems like you
â You lowly peasants ! â said Annette enraged . â They are right Annette . You should be thankful instead of being discourteous . â said Antonio with a displeased expression when their eyes met . â Sir Antonio ! â said the guards bowing his head . â Thank you for your hard work . I would like for you two leave us a minute alone . â said Antonio . â Sure sir ! â said the guards with a smile then left , leaving Antonio and Annette alone . â You are complaining too much for someone who has absolutely no right to say anything nor ask for anything . â said Antonio . Annette turned her head and saw Antonio standing in front of her cell . â You !âŠ..All this happened because of you . How dare you say that I have no right to ask for anything ? â said Annette . â You are acting as if you are the victim when in reality you are the real guilty one . â said Antonio . â Antonio stop playing the role of the innocent . You have always been like this . It annoys me so much that you can get A
Axel clenched his fists then looked at his brother with a forced smile . â You finished pretty early . â said Axel . â I am quite fast with my hands . Itâs been ten years that I do this job after all . â said Alex . â If you are so good then get yourself something to be busy with and stop meddling in my business . â said Axel . â No can do brother . After what happened with that crazy Annette , I will be the Cupid in charge of your romantic future from now on . â said Alex winking at his brother . The others couldnât help but laugh a little at Alexâs statement . â Go and get yourself busy with some surgeries . â said Axel . Everyone laughed as they couldnât hold themselves anymore . A month passed and Axel finally fully recovered from the injury . During his staying at the hospital Antonio went to visit and take care of Axel daily . Damian also set aside his work to accompany Antonio at the hospital . He felt uncomfortable with Antonio and Axel remaining alone . Things at the
â DamianâŠâŠwhy are you grabbing me like this ? The servants were watching . â said Antonio blushing .â So what if they are â You are the leader of the Landar mansion and we will soon get married . Thereâs nothing for you to be shy about . â said Damian annoyed . â I really donât know whatâs wrong with you . â said Antonio confused when noticing that he was a bit annoyed . Damian grabbed Antonio and placed him on his shoulders then entered Antonioâs room . He locked the door with the key then placed Antonio on the bed . â Damian Wright ! What do you think you are doing embarrassing me in front of the servants like that . Donât forget that you are at the Landar family territory here . Not the Wright family territory . â said Antonio annoyed . â Oh , really ?âŠâŠWell , I am to marry the leader of the Landar family soon . My manâs territory is mine as well so is my territory his . â said Damian with a devilish smirk , softly touching his cheek and laying on the bed with him . â DamianâŠ
When Damian heard him , he opened his eyes wide and went near Antonio . â I will come with you . â said Damian walking ahead . â No ! Angelo just woke up and he needs someone to stay with him . You better take care of him . â said Antonio . â My parents and your parents can take care of him until we go for a visit and come back . After all you will not be spending the night there , will you ? Thatâs crazy . â said Damian with a fake smile laughing the matter off . â Damian , in case you havenât realised the situation , allow me to explain it to you again . Axel blocked a bullet for me . A bullet that could have take my life . He nearly died because of me . The east I can do is go visit him and take care of him until he gets better . â said Antonio who was trying to keep his cool . â StillâŠ.. â said Damian but Antonio stopped him . â I donât want to hear any excuses . You will stay here with our son . End of discussion . â said Antonio . Damian couldnât stand the idea that Ant
â YouâŠâŠ..did ? â said Antonio with a shocked expression . Mr Karlo turned his head away and his cheeks were clearly blushing a little . Antonio looked at him and smiled then couldnât help but laugh . â Who would have thought that you actually were being a father in disguise like ? â said Antonio with a surprised expression . â Well , I am a father . You canât call it a disguise . â said mr Karlo . â Heh ! You old man ! Would it kill you to say I love you my child . â said Antonio a bit annoyed . Madam Laura couldnât hold her laugh when she heard Antonio call mr Karlo an old man . Mr Karlo coughed a little then in the blink of an eye he went near Antonio and hugged him . â I love you my child . I am very proud of you . Thank you for being born as my child . â said mr Karlo with a serious tone , smiling as he hugged Antonio . Antonio laughed happily and hugged his father tightly . â I love you too daddy . â said Antonio . â My dear princess . â said mr Karlo . â Daddy , I am a
â Mom ! â said Antonio with a happy expression . Madam Laura looked at Antonio then noticed the ring in his hand . She looked at his hand in surprise when seeing the shiny ring on his finger . â Do you have a minute , master Antonio ? â asked madam Laura with a polite tone as she smiled . â Mom ! What are you saying ? Please donât stand on formalities with me . I am your child , your son . â said Antonio a bit panicked . Madam Laura smiled then entered the office as Antonio followed her from behind . When they entered the room , Antonio noticed that his mother was a bit too silent . â âŠ..It is true that you are my child but whether you are my son or my daughterâŠâŠ.I am still unsure about it . â said madam Laura , sitting on the couch of the office . Antonio realised that he had some explaining to do about the situation they were in . He knew that he could not pass this lightly without a proper explanation . â I knowâŠâŠEven though you said that it didnât matter , I still owe you a
Antonio looked at the files then looked at the door . â Mr Donovan , I need to speak with you . â said Antonio with a serious tone , wanting to make sure of something before he continued with the files . â I know what you want to talk about Antonio . Right now , you have a more important duty and that is to legalise your identity as the new leader fast . There will be time to talk and I will explain what you want to know along with Andre of course . â said mr Donovan looking at Andre who was caught in surprise but also looking a bit guilty . â I suppose you are right . â said Antonio looking at Andre . Damian hugged Antonio and handed him the file he was holding . â I am going to check on our son . My people are surrounding the place . Donât worry about anything , just finish what you need to finish . â said Damian with a sweet smile . â Thanks dear ! â said Antonio happily . The lawyers that mr Donovan had asked to come arrived and they all started to work immediately . As Ant
Bl truthâ Dad , stop bluffing . â said mr Karlo . â I am dead serious Karlo . â said mr Donovan . They looked at mr Donovanâs expression and realised that he was indeed dead serious . â How did you know all this ? â said Antonio . â I placed people to follow you in secret . â said mr Donovan . â You knew every move of mine ? â asked Antonio . â Yes ! â said mr Donovan . â You were the one that kicked me out of the family and disowned me . Why would you pay so much attention to me when you were the one that cut me off completely ? â said Antonio , still not convinced even though mr Donovanâs expression wasnât lying . â I know what you are doubting . From a young age , I realised that you wanted to be a boy . That you never felt comfortable under a girlâs skin . After experiencing such a shocking incident , I was curious to see if you would finally have the courage to take the step ahead and transform yourself in what you were supposed to be born as . When looking at your cryi
â Honey , please calm down . â said mr Karlo trying to ease his wifeâs anger . Mr Adam couldnât even laugh as he looked at madam Lauraâs enraged expression . Madam Diana wanted to speak a little but she thought that it would only amie things worse . She couldnât even speak up for her son in this matter as he was totally and definitely in the wrong for his behaviour towards Antonio . â Son , mommy wants to help you but since you were so stupid as to behave in such a way , thereâs nothing more that I can do as you have no good point in Lauraâs perspective to be gasped and used in a positive response . HaaahâŠ.. â thought madam Diana with a tired look . â Are you alright , dear ? â asked mr Adam when he saw her expression . â Itâs all your fault . â said madam Diana with a scary smile , making mr Adam shiver a little . Antonio tried to calm his mother but he was annoyed and reluctant to say anything . He tried to come up with a solution but apart from his money and his handsome looks
