“Sir, the contract for the merger has been sent, you have to go through it,” he heard his secretary say to him as the car sped along the highway to the office.
“Anything else?” He asked without raising his head from his tablet.
“You have a meeting with your father tonight,” his secretary continued and this finally made Antonio look up as he turned to glare at the man who was speaking to him.
“How many times have I told you not to fix in any meeting with my father, Daniel?” He
The incompetent fool was no stranger to the bad blood between him and his father an whenever the old man called to fix a meeting, it should be met with an immediate refusal.

“I tried to tell him no, but he persisted and threatened me, sir,” Daniel explained, and he gulped in fear. Working for his boss was like walking on eggshells as every day, he feared for his life.
“Cancel it, or I’ll have to remind you that I’m much more dangerous than my father,” Antonio threatened.
There were a lot of things he hated and his father arguably topped the list. If his secretary had a hard time in obeying his orders, then he had no use for the fool.
There was a reason why he was named the Devil in human flesh by everyone, and that was because he had lived up to the name. If his darn Secretary had forgotten just how wicked he was, then he would have no problem in reminding him.
He was the heir to the most powerful family in the country, the Garcias, and that title didn’t come by being nice.
Forgiveness didn’t exist in his world, and he liked to take down people who so much as stepped a toe out of line around him.
“Sir,” he heard Daniel call out to him just as they reached the company.
“Unless you’re calling to tell me that the meeting with my father has been cancelled, I suggest you swallow whatever you are about to say,” Antonio warned as he got out of the car and headed into the company.
He checked his watch and saw he was almost time for another meeting. As soon as he stepped foot into the company, silence ensued, and the employees who were on the ground floor stopped whatever conversation they were having and pretended to be working.
Ignoring their bows and their greetings, he headed straight to his private elevator which was exclusively for a select few. When the doors opened, he was shocked to see a woman he had never seen standing in the elevator.
He squinted his eyes as he got in wondering who the hell she was and why she was in there. He hated dealing with people which was why he had made the elevator off–limits.
“May I ask what you’re doing in this elevator?” He voiced out after the doors closed.
“I–I’m sorry. I’m taking this document to Mr Garcia’s secretary,” he heard the woman answer.
“Mr. Garcia’s secretary,” he repeated sarcastically as he started to have his suspicions about what the woman’s motive was. “What document is that?” He further probed as he reached out and stopped the elevator.
“It’s a merger contract. Why did you stop the elevator?” the woman inquired, and a smile appeared on his face, but it wasn’t a friendly smile, it was one that meant doom for the person whom he gave it to.
The supposed merger contract the woman was talking about was the same one his secretary had asked him to sign moments ago in the car which meant the fool standing in front of him was using that as a decoy to try and get close to him. The fact that she was in his private elevator further proved him right.

Due to his status and power, he had his fair share of women who tried to get his attention so he would fall for them. From freak accidents to stalking him, to running into him, he had been through it all.
One would have thought with the way he dealt with those women and their families, others would have learned that he wasn’t interested in getting into a relationship and that he wouldn’t hold back in destroying them, but that wasn’t the case.

There were always going to be fools who wouldn’t stop if he didn’t teach them a lesson personally and the woman in front of him was one of such fools.
“Hand it over,” he stretched out his hand wanting to see what was in the supposed contract.
Zabelle frowned a bit at the man as she was supposed to deliver the contract to Mr Gare give it to anyone else even if it was the Greek God standing in front of her.
tary and she wasn’t going to
“I’m sorry, but I can’t give it to anyone else but the intended receiver,” she stated, and he saw her clutch onto the document she was holding.
“Who do you think you’re talking to?” Antonio tilted his head as he could feel his patience running out with every passing second.
“You’re Mr Garcia’s Secretary?” He heard the woman ask him, and he squinted his eyes at her, wondering just how long she would continue to pretend like she didn’t know him.
“Hmm,” he hummed, deciding to play along with her.
“I’m so sorry this is coming in late,” Zabelle immediately apologized while heaving a sigh of relief at the fact that she had met the person she was there to see without having run into Antonio Garcia.
“Document,” the man said to her, ignoring her apology, and she took it as a sign that he was still mad, and so she handed it over to him.
Antonio took it from Zabelle, and he immediately opened it as he was curious to see what was in it, especially as the real document had already been delivered to his secretary.
Upon opening it, he was met with a blank page and when he opened the subsequent pages, he saw pictures of himself and this made him sigh in annoyance.
Zabelle’s eyes widened in horror when she noticed this and her blood went cold when she saw that the pictures in the file were of the man that was standing in front of her.
That bastard had set her up! She yelled in her head. How was she so dumb not to check the document he had asked her to deliver?
“I–I’m so sorry, sir. I didn’t know,” she stuttered, and her heart started to pound in her chest as the situation looked bad, very bad.
“How much longer are you going to pretend like you don’t know I’m Antonio Garcia?” Antonio asked, finally reaching his limit with the woman standing in front of him.
