Antonio pushed open the heavy oak door of his mansion, the grand foyer echoing with the hollow sound of his footsteps. The guard, who had come to open the door for him, bowed instantly. “Welcome back, young master”. The maids greeted him. Antonio ignored as usual as he ascended the grand staircase, each step a reminder of his life that was now in shambles. His thoughts were a chaotic swirl of anger, betrayal, and sadness as he reached the landing and turned towards his room. His guards bowed with their heart palpitations louder than ever. Pushing open the door, he was surprised to see a familiar figure seated in the corner. “What are you doing here?” Antonio's voice came out cold with a mix of surprise, cracking slightly under the strain of his emotions. Grandma Elizabeth, with her silver hair neatly pulled back into a bun, looked up at him with compassionate eyes. She noticed his face tight with frowns but those red eyes…he cried. She had always been his pillar of strength for years and seeing that Angela was gone, she couldn't help but to be with her precious grandson once again, even though it will be hard for him to let her help him heal. Of course she didn't expect a nice welcome from the furious and exhausted angry fox. However, it's worth risking the harsh words and abuses, he will shower on her. If she isn't around he might harm himself or others. Antonio stepped further to his wine rack to get a bottle, he opened one and drank heavily in a gulp. “Antonio, my dear,” she said softly. “I heard what happened. Come, sit with me.” Antonio felt a lump in his throat, he stopped drinking and put the empty bottle down on his dining table. “Drinking that heavy is bad for you”. Antonio balled his fist tightly. “What do you know?” Grandma Elizabeth sighed. “I am so proud of you…always. I am sure you will find her. You and Angela are soulmates, take it from me”. She smiled softly at him. Antonio stood at the same spot, his fist started shaking, his face bowed hiding whatever emotions he was having at the moment. However, Grandma Elizabeth knew him too well. Tears came into her own eyes. “It's okay…it's okay to cry….you are still the strongest young man I know. Only the strongest hearts love truly”. She said softly. “Just shut up”. Antonio snapped as he crossed the room and sank into the chair beside her. Grandma Elizabeth smiled at him and waited patiently for him to come around. Forcing a conversation won't help the situation. After the brief silence, Antonio speaks up. “Noona, I don’t know what to do," he confessed, his voice thick with grief. "Everything has fallen apart. Angela... Diana… It’s all a mess.” Noona? He hardly ever called her that ever since his parents died. Grandma Elizabeth thought, then she reached out and took his hand in hers, her touch warm and reassuring. "Antonio, you have been through so much,” she said gently. “But you are strong, just like your father was. You will get through this.” Tears welled up in Antonio’s eyes, but he fought to hold them back. “I feel so lost,” he admitted. “I don't know if…. I can live anymore… I never thought I could care so much about a person…a fucking woman…and now… I see no purpose in living…falling in love is the worst thing that could happen to anyone.” That last statement made Grandma Elizabeth chuckle softly in tears. Antonio gazed at her with a questionably like look. She knew that look. “Pardon me, it's just that I never thought you would admit such”. “I told you so before”. Antonio defended with a tight frown. “Yes, you did tell me about you being in love with her… I believed you…but right now…you made me believe in true love again. Something I thought this age of humanity never had”. She replied and squeezed his hand gently, her eyes never leaving his. Antonio closed his eyes and tilted his head backwards. “Is this supposed to make me feel better? I don't even know if she loved me for real”. Grandma Elizabeth smiled at him. Loving that he was able to hold a conversation in this state, made her want to scream loudly and cry like a baby, but she had to seal it all in. He's grown a lot. “Why do you say so, fox?” Antonio was silent. “Diana told me… Angela worked with Damonin fact, they were a couple”. “Damon? Angela and Damon were a thing?” She asked in disbelief. Antonio was silent. “She must have lied, Angela is not that kind of girl”. She snapped. “There was evidence of an audio tape, I wanted to not believe it… I actually did not believe it… I needed some answers, I wanted her to say to me…that .what we shared was never real…” He paused and continued slowly, his face looking like he would break down any minute. “Who am I kidding… I am still a Monster after all.I treated her like nothing but a sex doll, the only one who really ever loved me is you…and I have always been a brat to you, yet you understand me…I…am I apologize for being the worst grandson,I am truly sorry”. Grandma Elizabeth's eyes widened, and her jaw dropped, speechless. "Oh Antonio…” Grandma Elizabeth whispered.
