It was their first feal fight whose cause wasn’t due to his hatred her, and she couldn’t believe she wished that it was one of those fights.

When the door opened. Zabelle immediately got up, but she sat back down and buried her head as he was half–naked with only a towel hanging dangerously low at his waist,
“I’m sorry.” Zabelle apologized, and she didn’t dare look up unt she heard the door close, which signified that he was in the closet.
When it opened again, Antonio came out dressed in a sult, and he realized he was leaving for the company.
A frown appeared on her face as she didn’t want han to leave without them sorting out their issues.
“Antonio, L.” she started, but she was interrupted when Antonio phone rang.
I’m about to leave, keep them busy till I get there,” Antonio said
It seemed whatever the call was about was urgent, and she couldn’t keep him waiting
“You were saying?” Antonio turned his attention back to her.
“You
can go.
IL Zabelle didn’t know what to say anymore.
“Martha will take care of you. If anything happens, call me. Those were Antonio’s final words to her before he turned and left the room, much to her displeasure.
A few minutes after he had left, she heard a knock on the door, and when she opened it, she found Martha standing outside the room.
“Ma’am, sir has asked me to ensure you eat lunch as you have skipped breakfast,” the helper said and Zabelle nodded. “Give me a few minutes, I’ll be right there,” she said, and Martha turned to leave.
She needed a few minutes to gather her composure, as it could feel dried tears on her cheeks, and she didn’t want to go downstairs looking like that.
Without wasting time, she headed out of Antonio’s room and headed to hers so she could do just that.
Antonio scrolled through his phone as he looked at what people were saying about him and Zabelle.
Just like she had told him earlier on, the news that someone had filed an anonymous complaint against him for murder was leaked to the mainstream media as well as the internet, and everyone was talking about it.
This included the shareholders and investors he was about to have a meeting with.
Even though the police had quickly debunked the news of her murder, stating that Zabelle was alive and well, it didn’t stop people from talking and asking why he hadn’t done so.
His mind quickly wandered away from the screen as he thought of the conversation he had with Zabelle.
He was still very pissed at what she had asked him to do. However, Antonio noticed that with the way he was pissed, he

It felt as though he was going to be betraying Zabelle’s trust by doing so, and so, he wasn’t keen on doing so.

Zabelle Garcia, he muttered in his head. She had been free from her family name, but she was unwilling to be free from their shackles.
He wondered what the Pierce family had done to her while she younger to make her unwilling to let him destroy them.
“Sir, we are at the company,” he heard his driver say to him and when he looked outside the window, he was shocked to see reporters standing outside the company.
Didn’t the fools ever learn? He never gave a public statement, as he always left that to his PR team to do.
Who was he kidding? Of course, they would never learn; the media never did. Taking a deep breath, he opened the door and got out of the car.
As soon as they saw he was the one who had stepped out of the car, they immediately surrounded him and started asking him questions.
“Sir, is it true that Mrs Garcia is alive?”
“Tell us, Mr Garcia, are you going to be removed as the CEO of your company?”
“Did you do something to your wife that caused her to faint in the video?”
These were some of the questions that were flying around, but as always, he kept quiet and let his guards guide him into the
company.
As soon as he was in, he was met by his secretary, Daniel, who heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing him.
“Where are they?” Antonio asked as they headed to his private elevator.
“They are in the conference room, and they are very pissed, sir. Daniel responded. “I tried to call them down, but they refused to listen to me.”
“Of course they didn’t; it’s you,” Antonio rolled his eyes.
“What about my brother?” He asked about Alejandro’s whereabouts, as he knew if his cousin had been present in the company, he would have handled the situation.
“According to his secretary, he had to attend to one of our other branches outside the state,” Daniel told his boss just as they

“Time to face the barbarians,” Antonio remarked as he opened the door and stepped inside the room.
Daniel was right, as the noise that came from the room due to people arguing was very loud. However, as soon as he stepped. in, it all mellowed down.
He walked like a king, carrying his icy aura with him as he made his way over to his chair.
He didn’t have to do much, as he was sure of himself, and the rest of the people in the room knew who they were dealing with.
Antonio wasn’t even worried of being removed as the CEO, as they didn’t have the power to do so. His family had made sure that the shares and power to do so remained within the Garcia family.
“My secretary told me that you all were pissed and demanding for answers, let’s get to it, shall we?”
