Two years ago
“Fuck I’m exhausted.” Antonio muttered to himself as he returned home to his mansion
The events of the day had been tiring, the weight of responsibilities pressing on his shoulders, but he was finally home
As he entered through the front door, the soft scent of dinner wafted through the air, and a small smile tugged at his lips.
Natasha had always been thoughtful, but this gesture was something else.
She had prepared dinner for him, a quiet offering of appreciation, and Antonio couldn’t help but feel a warmth in his chest.
“Natasha“” Antonio called out.
“I’m at the dining table.” he heard her s
say to him, and he immediately headed there where he found her setting the table for two.
She smiled at him when she saw him, a look of relief and gratitude in her eyes.
“I thought you might be hungry, I wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for me”
Natasha Loray was his classmate back when he was in college.
She had saved his life when some of his dad’s enemies were after him and they became friends afterwards.
Her words touched him, and he moved to the table without a second thought.
Shr had arranged the meal with care delicate roasted vegetables, a well–seasoned steak, and a bottle of wine between them.
Antonio sat down, and a smile made its w

The bastard in question wa
For some reason, her father arranged her marriage with him, and she had come to him begging to help her.
Her plea was simple, Get married to her so she would get her family off her back after which they would separate
was a weird request as he didn’t understand how the concept of thein separating would continue to get her family off her back, but he didn’t question it as he owed her for saving his life.
They caught up as they ate dinner and as the meal came to an end. Amonio felt a familiar heaviness in his eyelids. He was exhausted.
He had planned on going straight to bed once he got home, but Natasha had made him pause his plan due to her arranging dinner.
Natasha noticed, a small smile playing on her lips as she stood up to gather the dishes. “I’ll clear this up,” she said softly.
Antonas nodded, and he arched her go into the kitchen but didn’t rise from his seat.
He didn’t realize he was this tired, he thought to himself as he struggled to keep his eyes awake.

When he opened his eyes, he was shocked to find himself lying on
on the floor.
He broke out of his thoughts when he realized there was another figure in the room, one that didn’t belong to Natasha “Dad” He called out in confusion and as he observed his enviament he finally realized something

There was blood around her, a dark crimson stain spreading across the white floor.

Amtorno’s heart stopped as he wondered what kind of nightmare he was having
GD
His breath caught in his throat, and panic sirged iliugh him. His pulse roared in scars as he shot up from his ground, his legs unsteady as he
nished to Natasha’s side.
“Natasha!” Antonio screamed, his voice ragged and desperate. He reached for her, his hands trembling as he touched her face, feeling the coldness
of her skin
She was dead. No, it couldn’t be. He had just spoken to her, and they had laughed and all, so how was she dead?
Her lips were pale, her eyes closed, and there was nothing left of the vibrant, determined woman he had known.
“Why Antonio yelled, his voice breaking as he turned to face his father. “Why!!”
William stood motionless, his gaze cold, his expression unreadable. For a moment, Antonio thought he had lost h his mind. How could this be happening!
“She deserved it.” William said flatly, his words devoid of emotion.
Antonio’s entire body shook with fury. He knew his father wasn’t the biggest fan of Natasha’s father, and he had gotten angry when he told his dad that he had gotten married, but he didn’t think that his father would kill her.
“She deserved it?!” He spat, his fists clenching “How dare you say she.
“I’d do it again.” William interrupted his son, his voice nonchalant, as though he were speaking about nothing more than a minor inconvenience.
Antonio couldn’t process the words, His world spun, the anger and disbelief consuming him. He grabbed his father by the collar and shoved him. his body trembling with rage.
“Get out,” Antonio growled. “Get the hell out!”
William didn’t flinch. With an almost lazy movement, he stepped back, his eyes meeting Antonio’s one last time before he turned and left the

that the doctor had been there all along, watching the whole interaction,
“Check if she’s still alive,” he ordered.
But ur, the doctor started. However, Antonio wasn’t having any of it
“Click her now!” He roared, his entire body shaking with anger.
Antonio stood by helplessly as the man knelt beside Natasha, checking for signs of life.
The silence in the room was deafening the only sound was the soft, hurried breathing of the doctor.
The seconds stretched on

“There’s something else, the doctor started, its voice barely above a whisper.
“What?” Antonio’s voic

“She was pregnant,” the doctor informed him, his words carrying the weight of a bombshell.

Chapter 131
Antonio stood frozen, the shock of the news striking him like a physical blow
Pregnant. Natasha had been carrying his child. He had slept with her only once, but it had been more than enough.
The realization hit him harder than anything else in the room. He staggered backward, his vision blurring as the world seemed to crumble beneath
“How !” he whispered to himself, his voice shaking. “How did I not know!”
There were no words to say, no explanation that could ease the overwhelming sorrow and regret that flooded his heart at that moment.
And as he stood there, his hand trembling over Natasha’s lifeless body, he clenched his fists in anger as his father was the one responsible for turning his life inside down.
The fact that he couldn’t kill William annoyed him further.
He was still his mom’s husband after all and killing him would mean indirectly killing his mother.
But from that moment onward, that was all William was, his mother’s huband. He was no longer his father and would never be the same again.
