Maid Of Seduction novel Chapter 22

"I'll get you a glass of water." Antonio offered to me and made a beeline to the kitchen.

His father walked slowly over to me with a weird smile on his face as if I had caught him redheaded in a big lie. 

Technically, I did.

"So you're the one who trapped my son?"

"Oh save it Peter, I know it's you! How could you Peter?"

"How could I what?"

"Lie to my mother while living a double life behind her back?

You were still married to Antonio's mother while you were with my mom! You pretended that you loved her but you were lying!"

"Would you keep your voice down! I can't believe after all these years, you're still a pain in the ass."

"I'm going to tell Antonio the truth and I'm going to tell it to your wife as well!"

"I swear, if you utter one word about this to anyone, I'll make your life ten times worse than it already is!"

"Are you threatening me Peter?"

"Wow. Congratulations Anna, you know when someone's threatening you. I see you're not so dumb anymore."

I narrowed my eyes at him and Antonio came back with a glass of water. I drank silently while Antonio and his father had a soft conversation in the corner away from me.

After ten minutes, his father left.

"I'm sorry if I caused any problem between you and your father." I said and wheeled myself over to him.

"He's just upset because I cheated on my wife with you."

"Like he's the one to talk." I mumbled with annoyance but Antonio caught that.

"What do you mean by that?" He asked.

"Nothing. I just don't like it when people try to rule other people's lives."

"Oh. Well he has always been that way. I admire him ever since I was a kid. He treated mom like a queen, and never once had he been unfaithful to her. We were the perfect little family everyone admired."

"Oh Antonio, if you only knew."

"I'm sorry that he wasn't pleasant."

"That's okay, he can't be pleasant if his life depended on it."

"He's not always like that."

"Antonio, he's always like that!"

"Anyways, Elizabeth would be here soon and I'm heading down to the company before it's all taken away from me."

I watched as he headed upstairs and I went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast but it wasn't easy being in a wheelchair.

After failing to reach the items I wanted in the cabinets, I gave up but Elizabeth and another gentleman walked in.

A handsome looking gentleman. A chef. 

Melissa's POV 

"Pull yourself together and fight for your marriage!" Mrs. Kissle advised firmly as she sat down next to me on the bed with a box of tissues in her hands.

"What did you do?" I feared the worse and I didn't like the way this story was going.

Alice's eyes narrowed with a dark tint to it she looked possessed.

"I had her poisoned." 

Anna's POV

"Antonio! I'm back!" I heard her voice calling from the foyer and my blood came to a boil quickly. 

It had been two days since she left but it was quite obvious she couldn't manage being on her own or being without Antonio.

Melissa was so pathetic.

I wheeled myself out of the bedroom and heard her running footsteps going up the stairs.

"Antonio, are you home?" She called again.

He wasn't at home. He was still at work although it was six in the pm. When she discovered he wasn't in, she flopped down on the couch in the living room.

I wheeled myself over.

"Well, look what the cat dragged in." I teased.

She lifted her head up and stared at me. "Oh, you're still here."

"That's right, I'm still here because I refuse to walk away from Antonio. I'm not going anywhere again and you could bet your ass on that."

To my surprise, she laughed loudly. "Oh Anna, you're so unique."
