Angry Margaret

GEMMA

Luca raised his head to look at me. My eyes locked in his and I got mesmerized in his eyes for a split, fast seconds, I felt butterflies in my belly.

He quickly looked away and I was really glad he did so.

"Mateo and Marco, move her things from her room to my room" Antonio instructed his boys.

"Okay boss" they replied.

"I would prefer I keep staying in my room. I'm used to the room already" I protested.

The thoughts of sharing the same room with Antonio irks me out. I won't have my own privacy anymore.

"You can always adapt, dear wife" he replied, putting emphasis on the "wife"

"But…." He interrupted me.

"No buts. You're moving to my room and that's final. It's the appropriate thing to do right??"

I scowled at him but didn't reply.

Marco and Mateo left the room to carry out Antonio's instruction.

It was just me, Antonio and Luca in the room. There was dead silence in the room, then Antonio broke the silence by standing up from his chair noisily.

He walked up to where I was still sitting with a smirk on his face and bent slightly.

"See you later, dear wife. Tonight is going to be so great," He said and patted my cheeks. Then he walked out of the room and left just me and Luca in the room.

"Madam, we should leave too," Luca said, still bowing.

I stood up from where I was sitting.

"Luca, please drop all honorifics. It's me, Gemma" I said and went close to him.

"You're boss's wife now," he replied, still looking down.

"Look at me," I said.

He refused. He kept looking down.

"Do you want to disobey your new madam? I asked.

"Look at me!" I ordered and he looked up immediately.

Wow, is this what power looks like?
You could order anybody around?

"Sorry for that, I just wanted you to look at me" I apologized.

"Call me Gemma"

"I can't," he replied.

"Why?" I asked.

"You're my boss's wife. He'll have my head if he hears me calling you by your name" he explained.

"Ooh" I said.

"Then you can call me Gemma when it's just the two of us around like now. And please, drop all honorifics" I said.

"Alright" he replied. "You need to prepare yourself, Gemma. You have lots of things coming your way from now on"

"I never wanted this. I never wanted to marry Antonio. I don't love him at all" I explained.

I didn't know why I was explaining but I just did.

"I couldn't escape this marriage and now he's introduced me to his wild lifestyle and called me what again?" I said and tried to remember the name he called me.

"Pink butterfly" I flicked my fingers when I finally remembered.

Yeah, I love pink as it is my favorite color. But butterfly???

Luca didn't say a word and I swallowed the next words that were about to come out from my mouth as I realized I have been talking too much.

Then I turned and walked out of the room with Luca following me behind.


Margaret was still in shock even after the video call with the syndicate ended. She's been on the same spot for over fifteen minutes without moving as she replayed the news in her head.

Antonio got married?? And to that girl she saw in his house?? And then he introduced her to the syndicate?? She'll be joining them?

So this was his other plans he's talking about. He had made plans to marry her.

She started laughing weirdly, a weird, painful and bitter laugh. She laughed for a while with tears rolling down her cheeks, then finally stopped.

"Antonio is married?? What about me? What will happen to me now?" She screamed.

Twice, Antonio has ignored her completely and has gotten involved with another woman.

She was with him when he got married to Maya. He knew he had feelings for her but still went ahead to marry Maya.

And now, he just got married to Gemma despite everything they've been through together after Maya's death.

She's been there for him, always! She's been through thick and thin with him, and has shared his pains and sorrows with him! She gave her body freely to him whenever he wanted, like a cheap slut but she didn't mind all of it because she's madly in love with him.

"Just why? Why???" She yelled.

There was little movement in her belly and she placed her hand on her belly in a protective way.

"Baby, what will happen to us now?" She asked, as more tears rolled down her cheeks.

She's been waiting for the right time to tell Antonio about the great news, but now she might never get the chance to tell him again.

"No,that can't happen" she screamed as she suddenly jumped up from the bed like a mad woman.

"That can't happen, I won't lose to that bitch. Antonio is mine and mine alone and I'll make sure to make him mine no matter what it takes, even if it means I kill that bitch" she swore.

She picked up her phone to call her best friend, Vanessa and let her know of the latest news but Vanessa wasn't picking.

She angrily threw the phone to the bed in frustration and fell to the floor as she cried her eyes out. She cried for a long while and when she felt she no longer had tears in her eyes, she wiped them off and placed a protective hand on her belly.

"Baby, don't you worry baby. Your mom is here to protect you and she promises to give you the best of life. I promise you a complete and happy family, you'll soon get to meet your father, my man" she said.

She grew up without a father and had missed out on father's love as her father abandoned her mom when she got pregnant. Life without a father was terrible and traumatizing for her even though her mom tried her best not to make her feel it.

And so, she didn't want the same for her child. She's going to fight to be with Antonio, if not for anything, but for the sake of her child.


Antonio knew Margaret wouldn't take the news about his marriage to Gemma lightly. He knew she must be so heartbroken and angry now but he couldn't care less.

He's surprised that she hasn't called to vent her anger out and rant on how he betrayed her. He had always known that Margaret loved him, right from when she met him and kept on loving him even after he married his late wife, Maya.

He respects and admires Margaret a lot as she's always been there for him, but that's just it. That's where it ends. He doesn't love her, not romantically, she's a beautiful, elegant and sexy woman no doubt, but he just doesn't love her.

They were just close friends, more like friends with benefits, but Margaret wanted more. She wanted commitment, she wanted love and deep affection, and that he cannot give.

He sighed loudly.

"I'm sorry, Margaret," he apologized.

He picked up his phone and called Luca to come to his room. Almost immediately, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Antonio called out.

The door opened and Luca walked into the room.

"You called me, Boss," he said and bowed his head.

"Yes, I did. It's about Gemma" Antonio started.

"I need you to teach her and train her properly in the underground ways. Like I said earlier, there should be no mistakes. Starting from tomorrow, you'll take her out for shooting lessons. Teach her everything she needs to know"

"And I need you to keep a close eye on her whenever you both leave this house. Report every of her movements to me, who she calls, who she talks to. In fact, she's not allowed to speak to anyone you don't know unless it's for business. I would have taught her myself but I'm too busy for that" Antonio instructed.

"Okay boss," Luca replied, still bowing.

"I left her in your care because I trust you. Take good care of her. Make sure you protect her at all cost. She'll have so many enemies now that she's my wife and there'll be attacks on her life. Make sure you protect her by all means, "Antonio said.

"Okay boss. I'll do so, boss" Luca replied.

"Where's she right now?" Antonio asked.

"In her room" Luca replied.

"What is she still doing there when all her stuff is here?" Antonio asked.

"I don't know, boss," Luca replied.

"Tell her to come to my room immediately. She should be getting ready to satisfy me tonight as my wife" Antonio said with a sinister smile on his face.

"Okay boss" Luca said, bowed and walked out of the room.

Just as he stepped out of the room and closed the door, he heard his boss laugh loudly and wickedly and he suddenly felt pity for Gemma. She's doomed for life!
