''Sir, some people are seeking your audience outside.'' A maidservant in a brown gown and a furry coat announced, staying outside Antonio's bedroom.''Who are they?'' Antonio asked, his body curled up in bed.''One Mr and Mrs Lopez.'' The maidservant answered with a bow, even though Antonio couldn't see her from the inside.''Lopez?'' Antonio knitted his eyes, his face momentarily flaming up before bursting into soft laughter.''Fine…'' He twisted his waist, still on the bed. ''Let them wait at the courtyard.''''Yes sir.'' The maidservant replied with another bow, before walking away.Inside the bedroom, Antonio revealed a mischievous grin, smacking his lips in amusement.'So Alessio and Jasmin are finally here?' He thought, smirking.A few days had passed since he contacted Adams. A few days of peace and silence when he didn't have to bother about anything urgently. He knew that Alessio and Jasmin at some point would come back to him, and he had been staying indoors in patience, wa
Antonio watched as Alessio and Jasmin got tossed out of his mansion like dirty rags. His eyes, hiding dozens of thoughts that spammed his head.''Hey, Elvie.'' He spoke into the phone as he headed back to his bedroom.''Baby.'' Elvie's high-pitched voice that beamed with excitement rang in Antonio's ears.However, his expression didn't drop, his face remained placid, already accustomed to Elvie's crazed behaviour.''What do you think of parking some billions of dollars in one sweep,'' Antonio smirked, an evil grin plastered on his face.''I can't see you right now, but I can guess the fiendish look on your face, he-he.'' Elvie giggled. ''So tell me, who got in your black book this time around?'' ''Long clients who had stayed in my black book for way too long, and now need to be dealt with.'' Antonio shrugged, sipping from the cup of espresso in his left hand.''Uh, you mean…''''Yes.'' Antonio nodded.''Everything is yours, not interested in what I've left in the past anyway.'' He em
''Just go already, retard.'' A loud, hoarse voice brimming with contempt entered Antonio's ears, as he kick-started the black power bike.Humm! The motorcycle roared to life, and Antonio slightly jerked forward under the propulsion force.Wearing his black helmet, he turned his head in his boss' direction, absorbing his features.His boss, Marco, was a stout grumpy man, his brown hair falling to his shoulders and the few strands of grey hair added to his condescending countenance.Marco's brown eyes watched Antonio's disappearing figure, and he couldn't help but smack his lips in disdain.'Clumsy and foolish.' He murmured, walking back to his office.The tall black gate of the delivery company opened wide, and Antonio rode out of the company at reasonable speed before his boss sued him for who knew what reason.The chilling wind that the winter brought brushed Antonio's leather overcoat, which shielded him from the biting cold. His brown eyes focused on the snow-filled road ahead.Th
''Is this a joke or what?'' Antonio blurted out, his face contorting with mixed feelings.His brown eyes darted across the room, eventually landing on the clerk, who was smirking.''Have you gone blind? Or suddenly, you do not know how to read any more?'' The clerk retorted, not hiding his tone of ridicule.''What?'' Antonio muttered, with a creased forehead.''Do you think the boss will let you off the hook after messing up with your delivery?'' The clerk, Franco, questioned with bemusement.Antonio was rooted to the spot, and he watched the approaching figure of Franco with furrowed eyes.''Boss has been working with all his bones just to get acquainted with the De Luca suite, yet you ruined it with your dumb brain.'' Franco smirked.Antonio's eyes met Franco, the coldness in them made Franco flinch instinctively, taking a few steps back.''You son of a-''Before he could complete his statement, Antonio lurked in, grabbing the collar of his furry coat.''I bet you to finish that, an
''J-jasmine…'' Antonio stuttered, horrified.Before him on his bed was Jasmine, and on top of her…Antonio's body trembled, registering who it was. Alessio?Antonio felt his whole world crumble into dust, his heart, shattering into tiny fragments, broken forever in the endless cycle of agony.Alessio was his bosom friend, they had been friends since they learnt how to talk, and they barely parted, unless when necessary.It was to the point where people often mistook them as real siblings, since he was even closer to Alessio than he was to Michele.Both Alessio and Jasmine were stark naked, and he watched as his bosom friend pounded his wife while fumbling with her tits as though they were his long, lost toys.They were both lost in ecstasy, each in their dreamy world of pain and pleasure, and they hadn't even noticed his presence.''JASMINE!'' Antonio's shrill voice thundered all over the room, making the two culprits come to an abrupt stop.Alessio and Jasmine turned in his direction
''D-don't tell me.'' The divorce papers fell to the ground, and Antonio glared at Jasmine with murderous intent.''Phew, I was afraid at first that the prison had turned you into a dummy, at least you're still smart as I used to know you.'' It was Alessio who replied this time around, amidst his fervent hot, deep kiss, as his tongue fought with Jasmine's.Antonio's face went blank, devoid of colour. He was momentarily frozen in one place, but soon, the heavy moans in the room jolted him awake.''I'll remember this.'' Antonio's whisper sounded as though it was from the deepest part of hell, making both Alessio and Jasmine shudder.Clenching his fist to stop himself from trembling, he collected the papers on the floor, and turned to leave. Glancing back at them once more, he nodded before walking out of the room.''Uh- uh, lock the door, please.'' Jasmine's voice trailed off, melting in ecstasy.It appeared that since all his properties had been confiscated by the government, Alessio h
''Excuse me… nurse, where's my brother?'' Antonio barged into the reception in heavy, fast strides.His gaze wandered from one angle to another, his eyes knitting in subtle apprehension.There were three nurses at the reception, two of them clad in white gowns, while the third who sat in the middle wore a green round-neck top and pants.The one in green had dark circles and eye bags hanging beneath her eyes, as she occasionally stuffed her mouth with popcorn.The other two ladies brimmed with more youthful energy. Their eyes, were sharp and unwelcoming as their gazes shifted towards the approaching figure.''Hey, I'm asking… where's my brother? Can you lead the way… he's not in the usual ward.'' Antonio blurted out everything without taking a break, his tone tinged with bafflement.The three nurses shifted their eyes away from Antonio, treating him as though he were a fart.The older lady in green went back to stuffing herself with more popcorn, while the other two had their eyes glue
A warm, amber light radiated from the chandelier that hung from the alabaster ceiling engraved with beautiful symbols, adding to the ceiling aesthetic.The spacious room was filled with soft light. Like the splendour of dusk, the glass and furniture glistened in the warmth.A man who appeared to be in his late fifties was sitting on a large, brown sofa, with the edges designed with gold and gemstones.He was clad in a jet-black suit, along with a matching pair of shoes. His silver watch reflected the warmth rays from the chandelier, and he breathed in and out softly, enjoying the aromatic fragrance that permeated from the room diffuser.Two, tall, muscular men in black suits were standing behind the man like statues.Their gazes were stagnant, only piercing forward without drifting across the room.The middle-aged man ruffled his short, wavy grey hair, which was styled in a modern quiff with a matte finish, before puffing out a thick smoke from the tobacco in his left hand.Besides h
