Chapter 34
No, it couldn’t be. He couldn’t be standing behind her. He was supposed to be at a meeting, she knew, as she heard Alicia telling Marceline.
Why did he come to the mall and more importantly, how did he figure out the exact place she was in when it wasn’t a place that was open?
When she tumed, she indeed found Antonio in front of her, and she saw a displeased look on his face. Without waiting to be told, she walked over to him and stood behind him.
“Mr Norman, it seemed our conversation in the restroom didn’t register in your brain,” Antonio stated and Jeremy clenched
his fists.
Why did Antonio come at that crucial moment when he was so close to getting what he wanted? He was like an insect with the way he continued to hover around Zabelle.
It had taken his security team to find out where Zabelle was and he had taken a risk by threatening to cause a scene. Everything was going well but Antonio just had to ruin it.
“Pardon me, Mr Garcia. I needed to clear some things up with Zabelle, Jeremy responded, and Antonio chuckled. The next thing Jeremy felt was a sting on the right side of his face as Antonio had punched him once again.
He immediately saw red as he tried to attack Antonio once more. The last time he had touched him in the restroom, he had been unable to fight back, but not today.
Antonio held his fist like the last time, but Jeremy was prepared as he used his head to hit him. Before he could regain his composure, Antonio had lifted him and sent him to the ground.
Just how trained was this bastard? Jeremy thought to himself.
“Please stop!” Zabelle cried out as she put her hand on Antonio’s shoulder. He paused and turned to face her. “Please,” she pleaded, as she didn’t like the way the two men were getting physical over her,
Jeremy on seeing that Antonio was distracted, tried to capitalize on that but Zabelle who noticed that he was intending to hit Antonio quickly put herself in between them, and she closed her eyes as she waited for the hit.
However, when none came, she opened her eyes to see that Antonio had stopped it, just like he had stopped her father from hitting her.
“Don’t Touch. My. Woman!” He growled in anger as he pushed Jeremy away.
Not wasting time, he grabbed his hand and pulled him out of there. Luckily he followed her as she knew she wasn’t strong enough to pull him out of there.
Even though she was shaking with fear, she decided to focus on getting the two men apart before they would cause a huge
Now that she had pulled him out of there, she quickly walked back to the store where Alicia and Marceline were, as she wanted to give him time to calm down. Plus, she wasn’t ready to face him.
“Oh my. Antonio, you’re here!” His mother exclaimed as she placed a kiss on his cheeks.
“Hello Mom, hello Aunt,” he greeted as he hugged the two women.
“What happened to your nose?” Marceline was the first to notice,
When Zabelle looked at what the woman was pointing out, she saw that Antonio was now starting to bleed in his nose, and

the fear hit her harder as she knew she was responsible
“Got into a light, nothing serious,” Antonio responded as he brought out his handkerchief to clean it.
“Antonio,” Alicia started in disapproval, but he waved it off.
“What were you two arguing about?” He inquired, showing that he didn’t want to discuss the subject any further. Alicia realized this, and she decided not to push it any longer.
It was surprising to see her son take some time off his work to be involved in the wedding preparation, and she found it cute that he was changing after meeting Zabelle.
The girl was truly God–sent.
Zabelle found it incredibly hard to focus on what they were saying as her mind was filled with fear. She could even hear her heart pounding in her chest while her palms were sweaty,
The fact that Antonio would listen to her explanation further scared her, and the thought of what punishment he would give to her.
After another hour, they finally finished at the mall, and due to the fact Antonio was now there, there was no need to ride with the two women.
Thankfully, they were the only ones in the car as Antonio wasn’t the one driving, which meant that she still had a few minutes until she would have to face Antonio.
Time seemed to move fast as before Zabelle knew it, they had arrived home. Antonio didn’t pay any attention to her as he got out of the car and immediately headed into the mansion.
The same happened back at the mall, as he barely even looked at her. While others might have thought it was a good sign, she knew it wasn’t.
Slowly, she opened the door and made her way into the mansion When she got to her room, Antonio wasn’t waiting for her, and this scared her.
She patiently waited for him to come to her and dish out her punishment, but he never came. After an hour passed, she got tired of being on edge, and she decided to go face him herself.
Grabbing a first aid kit, she shakily made her way to his room and knocked on it. A part of her hoped he wouldn’t answer, while the other part hoped he would.
Her soul left her body when the door opened, and she found a shirtless Antonio standing in front of her.
“Let me explain!” She immediately fired on.
