81 Bringing The Enemy Closer
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

''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

The warm incandescence that shone from the chandelier filled the large room with colours, a stark contrast to the gloomy greyish atmosphere outside.Jasmine paced from one corner of the room to another, her fists clenched, as she let out low curses occasionally.''They still won't explain the reason for their abrupt contract termination, huh?'' she shrieked.''Calm down woman,'' Alessio muttered from one corner of the room, as his fingers swiped across the keyboards.Their business had been flourishing as they expected, until their contractors and major suppliers sent an email this morning, informing them on how they'd not be able to continue business with them.Yet, all their efforts to get back to them have all proven useless. ''What do you think will happen?'' Jasmin asked, her fingers clutching her black bodycon.''I have no idea.'' Alessio furrowed his eyes, his gaze still on the screen.''D-do you think we should sell the business, and you know…'' Jasmin murmured, dragging her
78 The Power Of A Dynasty Lord
The hot water from the shower drizzled down Antonio's body, relaxing every timy muscles in his body.Turning off the knob, he grabbed his towel, leaving the bathroom which exploded quth steam as he entered the master room.He had returned to his mansion here in the States, and he couldn't wait to have some cozy moments to himself.'What a hectic life are we living.' Anyone sighed, changing into a thick,white pyjamas before sinking into the bed.Right now, all he wanted was sleep, as every part of him screamed fatigue, and since he didn't haveany matter lf urgency at tge moment, he might as well sleep like a free man.'Um, well… in a real sense I'm a free man.' Antonolet out a wry smile,his eye lids already gumming to each other.However, in the middle of his grogginess, his phone buzzed which made him hiss.'Who again?' He murmured with his eyes closed while crawling on the bed.Repeating whether he should check the phone now or just drop everything and have a peaceful sleep, Antonio
77 Puzzles Fitting In
The call ended with a beep as Antonio slid the phone back to his pocket.Phew.He sighed, his head tilted to the right as his eyes gazed through the window lost in thought.Silence enveloped him and the driver, the occasional horns, breaking the solemm mood.Antonio had not dropped his phone for more than a few seconds when Elvie's call came in, making him narrow his eyes, knowing that he wasn't expecting her call today.''Baby.'' Her shrikked voice ramg in his ears, making him contort his face.''What is it?'' he asked, ignoring Elvie's antics.''Hmph… can't I call because I miss your voice?'' she asked, making a fake angry tone.''Elvie what is it.'' Antonio snapped, his forehead creasing in annoyance.The conversation with Diego had already made him on edge, and her antics just felt overly jarring right now.Realizing that Antonio was probably not in the mood for some random chit chat, Elvie also fell silent, letting out a soft aigh before proceeding to speak.''I detected a malwar
76 Subtle Revelation
The beautiful snow that came with sunset fell on Antonio's boots, and grey tuxedo, as he stepped outside of the hideout.His eyes looked into the distance, lost in reverie, as he recalled some lf the things that teanspired these past few days.As he walked towards his car, the man that came with him tagged along, opening the umbrella to shield Antonio but the kattwr waved his hand, gesturing for him to not bother.Tap!Tap!Antonio's boots sank in the snow filked ground, allowing the cold breeze to hraze his skin, alomg with the dryness of winter that rushed through his nostrils.Nearing a few inches away from the black limousine, the back door opened automatically, allowing him to enter, sinking into the back seat.Closing the door, his bodyguard entered the front seat, igniting the cat as he pressed the accelerator, speeding off the snowy road.Ring!Antonio's personal line buzzed,making him narrow his eyes, knowing that only few people had access to it.Glancing at the screen, the
