HOME AND A VISITOR

Ch. 173 / 312 Apr 03, 2026

That was a good guess from Angela but the bigger reason is yet to be exposed. “I mean no…why would I do that to you…Damon...must have stopped by to drop something off," she replied, her voice strained. "Don't worry about it." Antonio frowned, unconvinced by Angela's explanation. "That doesn't make sense," he said, his eyes narrowed. "Why would he be here without calling first?" “Well.. technically he called last night so.mm..”Angela replied. “He didn't mention anything about visiting and you are with me now right?” Antonio replied. As Angela struggled to come up with a plausible explanation, the twins, oblivious to the tension, began to chatter excitedly about the trip as they played around the car. Jace, sensing the adults' unease, got out of the car and strode towards the front door. “Lia, Liya come on let's go in”. He called the twins and they ran behind him. “Is mummy home?” Lia asked, jogging happily. “I am yet to break up with Damon”. Angela confessed. “What?” “But I promise I will do that”. Antonio wiped a palm over his face in disbelief. “When do you plan to do that?” “Now? I am so sorry Antonio,it's stupid…I didn't mean to..” Antonio sighed and walked away before she could finish. Angela was surprised by his reaction but it was the least she expected. She quietly followed suit, glad he didn't leave the house instead. They got to the elevator, none said a word. Each of them was occupied by their own thoughts and emergency anxiety. The elevator stopped and the door opened. Jace and the twins took the stairs so they arrived at the same time as Antonio and Angela. Faint sounds of voices could be heard from inside the living room. Angela and Antonio exchanged questionable glances then stepped into the house,Jace and the twins followed. Unexpectedly, their eyes widened as they took in the scene before them. Damon was sitting on the couch in the living room,on top of him was Angela's younger sister Kerry wearing only a tiny towel that barely covered anything,hair was wet and body damp. Both had their lips almost on each other but as soon as the door opened, Kerry's face flushed with embarrassment. Her dark thick brows arched in anger because of the interruption, her arms crossed protectively over her chest. Angela's heart stopped. Her hands went clammy, her breath catching in her throat. “Just when it's about to get exciting, thanks Angela”. She rolled her eyes aggressively and climbed down from Damon's body. Damon's eyes met with Antonio's cold ones, both communicating their own languages. “How gross Kerry,you have a room!” Jace snapped angrily and walked into his room. Angela was still dumbfounded, she tried to wave off the sudden tightness of jealousy in her chest. Damon and Kerry? She blinked and snapped out of it, reminding herself that she is no longer inlove with Damon. “Kerry, can you put on something decent,the kids..” Angela snapped with her brow arched. “Whatever”. Kerry made to leave for her room when the twins ran towards her. “Mummy!” She paused to attend to them. “So you went out with your Aunt and left mummy behind, you little betrayals”. The twins giggled and started telling her unending stories about the trip. “Yeah..yeah”. Kerry answered and led them into her bedroom. “Well, hello baby”. Damon called Angela's attention and walked up to her, with a knowing smirk playing on his lips. He was about to touch her when Antonio grabbed his hand Instead. “Seriously,what is this Antonio…you are now a bodyguard?” He shook his head. “Don't lay your hand on her,Damon”. “How adorable,you are obsessed huh,nice work Angela”. Damon smirked and looked at Angela who was too guilty to look up to any of them. “Come on Angela,it's over…you can come back to me now…you don't have to put up with all this anymore”. “Put up with what,what the hell are you saying?” Antonio snapped. Angela gasped and immediately took Damon's hands. That move was a shock to Antonio,alot of things came running into his mind. He didn't expect such a connection between the two not right in front of him. “Let's talk in private please”. Angela pleaded amidst tears knowing how disappointed Antonio would be. She could feel his gaze on her. “In private? Baby, what's wrong with you? You don't need to say it in private,the act is over”. Damon said between clenched teeth cupping her cheeks in his hands, Angela's tears were warm on his palms. Before Angela could say anything, he kissed her. Antonio could feel his heart pounding in his chest, his breath coming in sharp, shallow bursts. He wanted to intervene but a sudden weakness filled his muscles. His gaze shifted between Damon and Angela helplessly, his expression shifting from shock to anger. He simply looked away and cursed,staring at his palms probably wondering how he became such a weak ass. Angela had to push Damon off her with all her might. “Stop Damon!” She cried. “What's wrong with you!” Damon snapped this time loud and fierce. “I…am sorry Damon”. She sobbed loudly trying to gain her voice. “Please if you really do care about me,I need you to understand..”. She continued. Damon stared into her eyes,his prediction was obviously right. “No…no you are not,don't tell me”. Damon said, waving a finger at her indicating that he had something in mind that could be the reason behind it. “Don't tell me you've fallen in love with this jerk?” He laughed out in disbelief. Angela cleaned her wet face. “Yes. I am in love with him Damon," she snapped, her voice shaking with emotion. "It's over between us. I am sorry but I don't want you anymore”. Angela replied and walked towards Antonio,who was still confused and angry about the whole drama playing in front of him. “Who do you want then? A murder?” “What?” Angela paused,same with Antonio's heart. Damon smirked and walked towards her. “How much do you know about your pretty boy?” Angela swallowed tightly,those eyes scared her,it knew something she knew nothing about. “I know he is a secret mafia..and ruthless but he is not all that anymore ”. “You think I am talking about some mafia political nonsense”. He looked up at Antonio. “Little brother, why not tell Angela what happened to Diana…your one true love…,I am sure she will be glad to know her future with you”. Angela turned slowly to Antonio. He looked nothing like the same man from minutes ago.
