LEAVING?



LEAVING?

Angela woke up with a heavy feeling in her chest. She had tossed and turned all night, her dreams were nothing but the memories of Antonio and the guilt that weighed on her conscience. As she sat up in bed, she felt a wave of exhaustion all over her. Her muscles ached badly, and her head throbbed with a dull headache. She knew that her stress and anxiety had taken a toll on her body, leaving her body feeling drained and weak. Despite the weak feeling in her body, Angela knew she couldn't spend another day wallowing in her sadness and anxiety concerning her issue with Antonio. She forced herself out of bed, moving slowly and deliberately out of the bed. With a heavy sigh, she walked slowly towards the bathroom. As she brushed her teeth, she tried not to think about Antonio again and the possibility of him being aware of her dirty game with Damon. Just then her younger brother Jace burst into her room, the sound of the jammed door startled Angela, her eyes widened in surprise. “What was that for?” She gasped at the unexpected slam sound a bit annoyed. “Angela!” Jace called out. She sighed hearing Jace's voice, with a face towel she dried her face and pulled the door of her bathroom open. Jace was standing there, eyes focused on his phone screen, anxiously waiting for her to give him her attention. That anxious and unpleasant look on his face caused Angela’s heart to race. “Jace, what's the matter?” She asked curiously, praying this won't have anything to do with the Montero's. Unfortunately for her, it's everything that has to do with the Montero's. “You need to check the Celebrity room live right now!” Jace exclaimed, his voice filled with urgency. “What's going on?” Angela asked, her voice groggy, heart racing even harder. Whatever that made Jace burst into her room this early morning, looking like that won't be good news. “What is it, Jace?” She asked again. Jace said nothing, he just handed her his phone, the screen displaying a live stream news bold headline: “Antonio Montero's Ex Diana Returns After Disappearing for Years!” Angela's her heart beat dropped as she read the words, her mind reeling on how to react to this, it was expected yet feels so shocking to her. “How is this possible? How can Antonio do this to you?” Jace asked, confused. “Is this real or just….. A rumor?” Angela stammered, her hand trembling as she held the phone. Jace shook his head in disbelief. “I don't know, sis. It's all over the news. Apparently this lady Diana was Antonio's ex, she faked her death and disappeared according to some other sources, but now she's back together with Mr. Antonio and everyone's talking about it on the internet.” Angela walked slowly to bed and sat down, calculating. Jace continued. “I tried to call Antonio, but he wasn't answering my calls. You need to call Antonio, you two need to talk. This is sick, how could he do this to you… I hate the fact that you kept things away from me…what exactly is happening? He was here two days ago, and he called me, everything was perfectly fine, did I miss something here?” Angela was still silent, trying to fight back her tears. This is what she wanted, right? After all, he must have been told last night that was why he called her. Why move on so easily without verification? Did he ever love her? If he really does care, why didn't he come and ask her in person? However, she had ignored him many times and now she wanted him to visit her? She covered her face in shame and regrets. “This is all my fault”. Angela sobbed. Jace noticed her mood. “You knew about this, didn't you? Yet, you kept it away from me? You two should have talked things out and made it work”. Jace said softly, feeling sorry about his sister. Angela continued sobbing quietly and said nothing. Jace sighed deeply and continued. “That was why the sudden change of mood you were putting up yesterday, that was why he didn't come as he promised the twins. I don't understand why? Why did you two break up? What am I missing?” “That's enough Jace…get your things ready, and the twins too, we are leaving”. Angela said, tightly cleaning her wet cheeks. Jace stood there, confused. “What?!” “You heard me, we are leaving”. Angela replied, pulling out the traveling box. “Where are we going, are you being serious now, we are leaving?!” Jace replied in even more confusion. “This place belongs to Montero's Jace. You are not a child, I expected you to understand that we have to move out. I would appreciate it if you don't make things even more difficult for me… The twins are enough trouble to handle”. Angela replied with a tight frown. “I just want to know where? Where are we going? Do you have any plan about all this?” Jace replied, still not interested in the new development, but however he was curious. Angela's face dropped. “I don't know yet, but we will drop at Doris's. I will think of something from there”. “We will be homeless?” Jace asked with a strict expression on his face. Angela sighed deeply. “Well, I am sure that Doris will accommodate us as long as we want, now get your things ready…also you try to convince the twins too”.
