“I…I…I..what! Did cat cut your tongue?” Riley mimicked. “Excuse me?" Angela said slowly calculating an answer to give, but none seemed to be in her head at the moment. "It's a shame that a responsible looking young lady like you could stand so low to take part in this, I know my brother very well. We are not old like grandma, everyone knows you are only after a price, tell me have you ever lost someone dear to you, if yes then you will know how important a bride of Antonio is to our Grandma, a real bride who he loves, you are so heartless to deceive a poor old woman, now tell me how much were you paid?" Judy asked, triggered. She was desperate for the truth and already losing it. Angela's lips trembled, her feet frozen to a spot, she was about getting roasted alive by all the two of them. The accusation was direct nothing like she expected. Her eyes shifted to Courtney, she was silent for a while now, listening also Antonio has been silent and refused to bail her out of this situation. Judy was right, how can she ever forgive herself for lying to a poor dying woman, this is going to be a horrific nightmare for the rest of her life. "You really think you can fool us, don't you?” Riley sneered, her voice dripping with contempt. Suddenly, Mama Elizabeth spoke up, her voice commanding the room. "That's enough!" She turned to the two sisters. "Judy, Riley, you two must be kind to Angela. She is Antonio's fiancée, and bride to be so she is to be treated with respect." She stated. “I know this may hurt your feelings grandma but this bitch is fake, she is not who you think she is and I can prove it”. Judy accused boldly. Angela looked at Mama Elizabeth, her eyes filled with tears and fear at the same time. She wondered what her fate would be if she was eventually exposed. And that brat Antonio was making absolutely no attempt whatsoever to save her. He must be enjoying himself watching her in distress. Finally she gained the courage to speak up. "I'm not trying to fool anyone," she said, her voice trembling. "I truly love Antonio." “Wow! How convincing!" Judy replied sarcastically, her eyes gleaming with malice. Suddenly, a voice rang out, low but clear. "She's telling the truth." Angela was puzzled by that voice, it was the least she expected. Everyone turned to the speaker in surprise except Antonio, he just chewed more slowly, listening to them and observing the scene before him. He did not expect Damon to defend Angela yet, how surprising! He should be enjoying the drama in front of him but instead he found himself angry with Damon. He stole a glance at Angela, she was looking very shocked, goosebumps all over her. Angela was more shocked than everyone in the room. Damon? What is he trying to do? Is he doing this to save me from the embarrassment ahead? Although she was curious and worried about the same thing she wished he could see through her so that he will know how grateful she is and how he gave her hope and relief but unfortunately he still had his face down on the plate, completely avoiding her gaze, he continued. "This is a family introduction and I won't let any of you insult Angela, who gave you the right to do so, who are you to tell Antonio who he can or can't choose, if he said she is the one then she really is". Grandma smiled and looked proud of him. Angela's heart raced. “Well, how do you know that? Do you know her or what?” Judy snapped in annoyance. Damon raised his face and glanced at Antonio who looked unimpressed by his intervention and even more that look on his face showing that he hated him even more now. He shifted his gaze to the furious face of Judy and held her gaze, unblinking. “I may not know her but I know Antonio very well, you heard him yourself when he told us about his bride, so why are you doubtful about it? Antonio is someone who can’t even tell much about a person no matter how important they are, do you think she is a fake and he knows that much?” Angela swallowed nervously. “That can be made up, so what's your point?” Judy replied. “I don’t think it’s made up at all, also if Antonio wanted to hire a fake bride, don’t you think he would go for a blonde?” Antonio felt a rush of anger at that statement, but before she could respond, Damon spoke again. “Why don't you two ask Antonio himself, if he truly loves this woman?” His gaze locked up with Antonio's cold ones.
