The Cinderella Life

Haunted Past 3

"Why can't you just trust me and my words" I said getting frustrated at this argument.

"Because actions speaks better than words"

"I don't want to talk about this topic anymore" I said angrily.

"Why?" She asked loudly. "Because your guilty of what you did?" She asked getting me angrier.

"You know what, we're over" I said angrily.

"I don't want to see you in my house when I get back" I said out of anger walking out of the penthouse and driving out at high speed.

TANA POV'S

"Antonio" I murmured silently as he walked out. I fell to the ground as my tears came.

"Darling" I heard his mum say silently as I felt her hands wrapped around me. I totally forgot she was here.

"I'm sorry" I said crying more.

"For what?" She asked looking at me with concern.

"For everything, am on my period so my mood swings is high" I muttered.

"It's not your fault dear" She said patting my back slowly.

"I want to go pack" I said getting up, wiping my tears away as they kept coming.

"Pack?. Are you taking what he said seriously?" She asked in disbelief.

She dragged my arm taking me to the couch as she sat me down and sat beside me.

"Relationships have fights, it's just a phrase" She said calmly.

"He was being rude to me" I said my feelings out.

"He was just angry"

"He has never gotten angry with me and say something like that before except from the day we met after a long time" I said crying more.

"He's changed a lot and I know. But am sure wherever he is, he is regretting everything that he said"

"It's because of me he changed, because I left him some years back" I said blaming myself.

"Don't worry about that darling, You can still change him to be the person he was before, or the man you would like him to be"

"But he already broke up with me, why did my stepsisters have to come back in my life again?" I asked sadly.

"Everybody have their challenges, maybe this could be the fate that could determine whether you and Antonio will last forever or will separate" She said with a warm voice.

"Well the answer is already clear" I said shedding more tears.

"The battle isn't over Tana. I know you still have feelings for him and he still does for you"

"No he doesn't"

"If he didn't don't you think he would have took your arm and threw you out of the house by himself. He still loves you dearly and am sure he's somewhere hiding around the area seeing if you will actually leave the house or stay with him"

"Mum I'm confused" I said bitterly. "I just finished encountering a problem some days back and now am in another"

"That's how life works. It gives you lots of challenges and tests to see if you can pass and conquer it" She gave a quote.

"But am tired of tests and this challenges. I just want my life to go smoothly"

"If your life go smoothly, then there won't be any story to tell to others. Your life would be boring. I also have tests and problems I have faced and I'm still facing" She said with a firm voice.

"Let me get you something to eat first, then we can continue talking" She said standing up.

"I don't want to eat, I just want ice creams and chocolates" I said like a child crying more. She didn't object, only smiled at me.

She's so much of a motherly figure, Antonio is luckily to have her.

ANTONIO'S POV

"Fuck" I said silently, as I drove fastly, tears were dripping down my cheeks slowly. Why did I have to say too many stupid things?

I'm an idiot, why did I ask her to leave the house? Where am I even driving to?

I turned the car, driving back. I already miss her. Why did I have to make an argument? I should have just apologized to her before the argument escalated.

I even made her cry, I saw her cry heavily. She was sad in front of me, I was the one suppose to protect and make sure she doesn't cry but I made her cry. I'm a stupid idiot, I don't even deserve her at all😓.

I stopped the car when I got close to the penthouse, how am I suppose to talk and even meet her. I hope she hasn't even left, cause I didn't mean anything I said earlier I was only angry.
Thinking about everything is making me cry slowly and I'm starting to feel depressed.

After minutes of thinking and blaming my self. My phone rang waking me from my thoughts.

I hesitantly answered it.

"Hello" I said.

"I need your help Antonio, please come straight to the Castle" He spoke in urgency.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Just come here fast"

"I will be there" I said driving with fear surrounding me. What could be wrong with him?

Luckily the road was free as I drove by, I reached the Castle under forty-two minutes.

"Dad!" I said loudly as I walked into the Castle, running up the stairs.

"Antonio" I heard my dad say, it was coming from the visiting room, I entered only to see my father drinking wine sitting on a chair, and two other people sat beside him. I didn't mind looking at them, I just went closer to my father inspecting him.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked.

"Me?" He asked looking confused, then started laughing weirdly.

"Oh, you mean the call" He laughed more, now I was confused.

"I found someone for you to get married to" He said happily with his drunk voice.

"You found what?" I asked.

"I s-"

I interrupted him before he could continue talking.

"Is that why you called me?" I was getting furious.

"Of course son, look at your suitors" He said pointing at the girls seated. I turned to see a smiling Linda and a blushing Jessica seated with gifts in front of them.

"What madness Is this?" I asked angrily, why do I have to see their faces again.

"Lower your tone when you speak" My father said in a firm tone.

"Am not marrying any one of you, so I advice you leave this place this instance" I said with a serious tone.

"You won't make any decisions in my castle, I make the decisions" My father said standing up.

"Then mind your business, I'm already with Tana. If you can't accept that then go fuck yourself" I said rudely. I was already angry and unhappy, but my father is deciding to add fuel to it all.

I'm frustrated!!
