The ringing phone jolted both of them back to alertness. Antonio groaned hearing the caller ID, his brow furrowed. Only then did Angela realize that she's yet to cut off all ties with Damon. How risky! Damon must be thinking that she is still on the act, he proposed to her about Antonio. She cursed silently and squeezed herself up into Antonio's warm arms. Slightly shivering from cold and nervousness. What if Damon gets upset and spills everything to Antonio. Will he ever forgive her? “Ain't you gonna answer it?” Antonio spoke softly, interrupting her thoughts. He felt her head shake side by side beneath him then he sighed deeply. “Please don't get may. I am such an idiot I should have cut off all ties with him before now”. Angela's voice came low and sad. Antonio kissed her head. “It's alright…you don't have to apologize. I won't get mad at you too, all that matters is that you are here with me not him”. He wrapped her up and kissed her again. The phone continued ringing until Damon decided to give up. An hour has gone… Antonio was unable to sleep. He thought of Damon's threat to him last time they met. What if he was calling to expose him to Angela? What will be the fate of their love life? Angela's snore cuts into his thoughts. He smiled down at her and kissed her. There's only one way to get Damon to shut up and stay away from Angela for good. Antonio waited till he was certain that Angela was out, and deep asleep. Slowly pulled away from Angela and quietly, he covered her body with a duvet and stepped down from the bed. He walked to the balcony, and took his phone this time. Standing In Front of the glass wall, he dialed Damon's number, taking care to keep his voice low so as not to wake Angela. As soon Damon answered, he spoke first. "What do you want from her?" He snapped, his grip on the phone tightening, his tone terse and irritated. On the other end of the line, Damon's smooth, confident voice could be heard. "Antonio, my little step brother, how have you been? It's been far too long since we've spoken." Antonio scowled, his jaw clenched. "Cut the act, Damon. What do you want?" Damon chuckled lightly. "Now, now, is that a way to greet your older brother?" Damon said, his voice dripping with false kindness. "I'm just calling to check on my girlfriend Angela. Is she there?" Antonio's grip tightened further, and he shot a look at Angela to make sure she was still asleep before he replied. "Angela is doing just fine. She doesn't need to hear from you. She’s with me now, so you know…back off." he said through gritted teeth. Damon's voice was quiet, then he burst into a loud mocking laughter. “Is that a threat? You of all people should know that threats aren't going to work on me. I thought you would be smart enough to give me what I want, so I can save your pathetic love life with that low life Angela huh?” Antonio rolled his tongue in frustration, never liked having a conversation with Damon and now he is going to negotiate with him? “Fine, what the heck do you want? Money?!” Antonio's voice hardened, his tone becoming more aggressive. "Listen, Antonio, I don't care what you think of me. But offering me money is enough of an insult, I want more..." Damon replied with a smirk, clearly messing around. “What the fuck you want then? Spit it out” Antonio snapped in frustration. Damon raised a brow. “Well in short form, I want Angela”. Antonio's expression darkened, and his voice dropped to a low, dangerous growl. “You know that's not possible. Do you understand me? She's mine, you can take whatever you wish, I don't care anymore. I am sick and tired of your silly games..as for Angela, you have to understand…nothing will ever make me let you have her”. "Oh, I understand you perfectly," Damon replied, his voice seething with barely contained rage. "But trust me, Antonio, you don't want to threaten me. I can make Angela see you as nothing but an enemy in just a blink of an eye. Also isn't it pathetic to see my little arrogant, Diana obsessed brother…talking about some low life…" “Not one careless word about Angela. Damon ''. The line went silent for a moment, and then Damon spoke, his voice barely above a whisper. “How important is she to you?” He smirked. “Why Angela? Damon…you…you are not even attracted to her”. Antonio snapped, frustrated. On the other end of the line, Damon let out a bitter laugh. "I am not attracted to her? Angela and I had something special, something you could never understand. You would if she was Diana.."
