AN EVIL MAN

"Would y-you please calm down?" Liam said calmly when Daniella had finally released him at the parking lot.

Without sparing her father a look, Daniella proceeded to his coat's inner pocket.

However, after digging her both hands around his chest, and couldn't find what she was looking for; so she moved to his pants and fetched the car immobilizer in the first pocket at once.

She then unlocked the car by pressing the switch on the immobilizer which gave a beep before clasping Liam's hand again and veering around toward the driver's seat.

"Get in," she commanded in a rough voice, still not looking at Liam's face.

Liam let out a soft exhale before pulling the car door and obediently went inside.

From the windshield, he watched as Daniella ruffled her hair while turning around the car to the other side, and in the next second, she had gotten in the car beside him.

"Let's go, Dad," Daniella ordered breathlessly, sloping her fingers into her hair and looking out of the window.

A smile played around Liam's lips as his eyes took in Daniella's side-face view.

"Can you please go back in there and finish what you started?"

Soft-spoken words met Daniella's ears and she abruptly shifted her gaze to her father's breathtaking face only to catch him smiling.

"Don't even think that will work on me, Dad, as I'm very pissed right now," Daniella scowled harder, eyeing her father irritatedly.

Liam's smile transformed into a broad grin and then he leaned closer to her, "It was not my intention to reveal my smile back there. I'm sorry, baby,"

The hot air exhaled when he spoke was sprayed densely on her face and this made her feel slightly itchy.

The huge frown on her face melted away with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes steady on his for a long moment.

"Dad would love you to finish styling your hair, Darling," Liam continued in a low voice, toying with the curly tip of Daniella's hair.

Daniella gradually discarded her gaze from his and drew a deep breath, regaining her composure.

"Pretty please," Liam added, blinking cutely.

His tone was a soothing balm against the raw edges of her pain. Daniella looked back at her father's face and cussed under her breath.

Liam's childlike attitude made him appear all the more handsome and with an impulsive movement, Daniella readjusted herself on the passenger's seat and rolled Liam's turtle neck over to his face.

"If you want me to forgive you then you have to cover your face as much as possible from now on, okay?"

Liam burst out laughing, unable to help himself.

He put the cloth away from his mouth and said with a broad wink, "Nothing can really mask my good looks, you know?"

Daniella stared and thought in her heart that Liam was correct. What was she thinking? He has a bandage around his head but it doesn't even alter his handsomeness one bit.

She sat straight in a swift again and collected some of his hair, holding them in a handful.

"Then how about you shave your head?" she suggested, looking as serious as the matter felt to her.

"I'll do it if you want me to, sweetheart," Liam tipped her another cute wink.

"Why do you have to be this handsome?" Daniella sounded close to tears and Liam only shrugged, grinning widely

With a frustrated grunt, Daniella let go of his hair and settled back down properly.

"I will stay back in the car this time, Ella. Please go ahead and finish your hair now. Remember our plans for tomorrow," Liam said cogently again and a widespread smile emerged on Daniella's face while butterflies spread out in her lower belly.

"Really, Dad? You won't come down at all?" She asked with a beam, her eyes were as bright as a crescent- making her look so beautiful.

Liam nodded his head twice, smiling too.

And like that, she crashed her lips onto his and gave him a very deep kiss. Liam melted into her, kissing her back with the same fervor.

Daniella was trembling with desire by the time the kiss ended and Liam's eyes held the same hunger she was feeling and it took every strength in his body to push away from her.

"I'll be right back," Daniella winked and proceeded to open the door.

She paused for a moment and was about to say something when she remembered that there was no cause to worry as the windows were all tinted black.

She smiled broadly and said in her heart that no one would catch sight of her father in the car.

"Here. Sign this," Jessica ambled toward the young looking man that was sitting on a single couch in her magnificent living room.

The man took the file from Jessica and peeked at it and his eyes opened wide in disbelief immediately.

"What?" he nearly screamed, flipping through the pages, "You a-are transferring h-half of your properties in m-my name?"

The man tumbled out, staring at Jessica in complete awe.

"Come on now, Antonio,"Jessica chuckled, sitting herself on his thighs and wrapping her hands around his neck.

"You deserve more than this, sweetheart. Believe me, you're the most beautiful thing that has ever happened in my life. You came into my life, Antonio, making my plain world filled with colors," her voice was beginning to break while tears pooled into her eyes.

She sniffed miserably and lowered her eyes, "I've never felt complete since I lost my both parents but now I can say my life makes a whole lot of sense since you've came inside it,"

She lifted her head and looked at him, "I love you more than you can ever imagine, Antonio," she confessed, stark love glinting in her eyes.

"I just hope that you won't betray my love for you. I don't mind bestowing all my possession upon you as long as you'll always remain by my side,"

Antonio then raised his hand and wiped the tears off her face in a slow movement, "I don't want any of your properties, Jessica, all I want is you," he affirmed.

"As far as I know, you're the most generous woman alive, Jessica. Everything has become different from the moment I had you. No words can ever define how much I love you, Jessica,"

Jessica grinned amidst the tears rolling down her face one after the other before palming his face in her hands.

"So are you saying that you'll always love me forever?" she asked in a low expectant voice.

Antonio smiled widely and held her both hands, "No woman can ever replace you in my life as you're the mother of my children, Jessica,"

"To be honest, I can't even imagine another woman being with me let alone bearing my children," he pronounced as honest as he felt.

Jessica's heart flipped over at that promise delivered and she couldn't hold herself back from covering his mouth with hers.

The kiss started slowly then it built from there, increasing in tempo with every thrust of of her tongue into his mouth.

"I love you, Antonio," Jessica breathed into his mouth.

Antonio buckled her waist and made a flip. Jessica was pressed to lie on the couch and without breaking from the intense kiss, Antonio replied, "I love you more, Jessica," while his fingers dexterously stripped her clothes.

Sorrow curled through Jessica's spirit. An ache so intense that she felt it like a wind deep and throbbing.

"Liar!" she yelled out, grabbing the flower vase on the tea table and throwing it to the floor.

The vase shattered into pieces on the floor and Jessica matched on it and strolled to the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room while her entire body vibrated this whole time.

"I'll never forgive you, Antonio," she gritted out, clenching her fist which caused her nails to cut into the flesh of her palm but she did not realize it as her entire body was quavering.

Antonio Flores stood tall before the extensive glittering swimming pool.

The luminous blue lights beneath it reflected on his watery face and he was only able to wipe away his tears when he noticed that someone had joined him there.

"Mr. Flores," the soft familiar voice came interrupted his trance as soon as he got near him.

He drew his attention away from the pool and slowly tilted his head to look at the man. His light brown hair went messy with the cold and strong wind as he gazed at his assistant with a doleful eyes.

"I'm a very bad person, Cole. Believe me, I don't deserve her forgiveness," he choked on his words as new tears gathered in his eyes and ready to spill over at any time.

The young blonde haired man- Cole, was rendered speechless and didn't know how to react for a long moment.

He had no idea what his boss was talking about but he knew for sure that whatever it was must really hurts him so much for him to look so helpless like this.

"Cole," Antonio suddenly called and the guy stood straight in attention, gazing up at his side face.

"I need you to find out every single detail about her. Her career, residence, children, h-husband. Every little thing that I need to know about her,"

"I need to make up for everything, Cole. I can't stop now until I earn her forgiveness. I don't mind giving up my life to get it, I'm an evil!"

The pain rose, scrapping his skin like shredded glasses and acid as he spoke and he willingly allowed the tears to flow freely from his eyes.

Cole swallowed subconsciously before closing the distance between them and placed a comforting hand on Antonio's back who kept whimpering bitterly.
