"I'm going to kill her!"
That has been the only thing on his mind, the moment he heard from Jake that she was married. The thought of another man touching what's his..
At first, Antonio didnt wanted to conclude that it was all her fault, but at the realization that she had moved on with her life, after everything they had shared, that made him pissed off.
Arianna breathes for him and him alone, and if he can't have her, then no one, no one else can have her!
But hearing her next words just as he was about to kill the bastard's child changed everything, it changed the course of how tonight was supposed to end.
"He's your son!" Arianna yelled.
This got her his attention, as he looked at her just in case she was trying to buy her way out of here, with that bastard son's alive, but the moment he looked down at the baby, he saw his resemblance in him.
The child..
The boy had his eyes.
He had his mothers red hair but his nose, ear, his face structure, everything screamed Antonio bloody Blackheart as a child!
Was this not amazing?
This was why she ran, because she was carrying his baby?
Clearly, his father had no idea that she was pregnant with his grandson, he wouldn't have aided her escape if he knew that.
"I'm a father?" He asked himself, not that he was going to deny her claims, but everything was still sounding unbelievable for him right now.
Until, he realized how wicked and heartless that she had turned over the years, to have his child and didn't think it was right to tell him about it.
He let out a frustrated sigh, because just like his father had done to him and his poor mother by abandoning him, Arianna had tried to make him seem like he was a deadbeat too, just like his father.
"You can't think of killing your own child, Antonio." Arianna said, breaking him out of his thoughts as he glared at her before lowering his gun.
The baby boy chuckled which made Antonio to smile down at him, blood truly was thicker than water. His fate had changed the moment he was confirmed to be his son, and not that of the dimwit his mother married.
But it's okay, she won't be married for long anyway.
"Aren't you a cute little one? you already know who your father is." Antonio smiled down at him in pride.
His son!
That had a nice ring to it.
"How old is he?" He asked Arianna, who stood stood, scared looming at them both.
It was obvious that she didn't like the new arrangement of things, but what she thinks doesn't matter, he will never hurt his own son.
The boy will never lack anything as long as he's alive, and anyone who tries to hurt him will have him to contend with, not even his mother.
"He turned six months old a few weeks ago, can i have him now please?" She replied and tried to come forward, but his guard dragged her back to stop a few feet away from where he stood with her child.
"Antonio, I need to feed him.." Arianna started. She tried to use that excuse to separate her son from his crazy father.
She had no idea what was going through his mind, and whatever it is that he's going to do to her, she needed to have Liam far away incase if any harm.
Just the thought of what he had done to Andrew had her in fear of her own life.
What if he decides to kill her?
That will leave Liam alone in this cruel world, she can't have that. She will turn in her grave if that were to happen.
"Pack your bags, we are leaving." Antonio interrupted her, even before she could finish talking.
"What?" Arianna looked at him in bewilderment. He had to be kidding.
She can't go back, no, she won't!
She can't go back to him, to his house, to his life, that's like running back to her past life that she's trying so hard to forget.
With Liam in the picture, it's going to be really hard for her to escape a second time.
"I see that you have grown some wings in these past few months, but don't worry, I will fix everything back to the way it is."Antonio said coldly.
"Give me back my son!"Arianna yelled and rushed over to him, but he hit her with the gun which made her fall to the floor and cried out in pain.
Liam started to cry all over again.
"It's okay, your mother was just trying to play smart. I love you so much, son." Antonio cooed at the little child in his arms.
Hearing her say that to her son made Arianna cry harder. Love?
Antonio doesn't know the meaning of love, he's a monster so, how could he possibly love him?
He lacks emotions and that was proved by his therapist and his psychiatrist, through whom she also learnt that he wasn't all that good in the head.
Liam might be a soliciting image of him, but she had prayed from the very moment that she had him that he doesn't end up like his crazy father. But the heavens aren't on her side anymore.
Despite the blood that she felt at the side of her lips, that was busted as a result of him hurting her with the butt of the gun. She crawled her way over to kneel down right in front of the handsome devil.
"Please, I beg of you, I can't go back there again. Can't you just leave me and my son, alone? We will disappear, I won't show up again, so please leave us alone." She cried and begged.
Antonio scoffed at her words. Clearly, these past few months had made her forget a whole lot of things about him, which he won't mind reminding her about the way she is to talk to him.
"If you truly want to save that bastard you married, aswell as your son. You will do well to listen to me, Arianna. We both know that you have no say in anything that happens right now." Antonio said bitterly, he meant every single words that was coming out of his mouth.
Without wasting any more, Antonio signaled to the guard standing at her back who left and came back carrying a gallon of gasoline.
"W..What are you doing?" Arianna asked and stood up when she realized what was about to happen, but just like Antonio just said, she has no say in what happens next if she is to save both Andrew and Liam.
"Stop it! Please!" Ariana cried, she ran over to one of Antonio's men who was busy like the others pouring the liquid all over the house, but none of them stopped to give her a listening ear.
Liam started to cry the moment he heard her cries too, yet, Antonio didn't let her anywhere near him. He carried the child that has his fancy right now out of the house with an unwilling Arianna, who demanded to know what and where Andrew was.
"It's okay, little lion. Your father had you now and that's what's important." Antonio said to Liam before he entered the backseat of his Audi, while Arianna was forced in.
Her cries fuelled that of Liam's, hence, the poor young child knew what exactly his mother was going through, but there's no escape from this.
"Andrew!" Arianna called out for him and watched as their house went up in flames, burning up everything that held the memories that she shared with him.
While Antonio wasn't bothered about her predicament, afterall, he had always been the selfish type, he was never going to let her go and he made that clear to her the moment he saw her, and that's what she had failed to understand all these years of knowing him, what Antonio Blackheart wants, he gets.
He didn't plan on having a child with her since he would rather she give all her love and attention to him, rather than dividing it on their children, but he will make an exception for this little one here.
A family.
That's all he wants with her and this time, she's going to wish that she never ran away in the first place to start with.
"Let's go home now, shall we?" He said to his driver.
He just couldn't wait to show the world that Antonio Blackheart is a father!
