Chapter 115Final card"We have to figure out where the hell they are hiding them," Gabe uttered with so much frustration. Well, all of them are frustrated. Larisa kept walking repeatedly while trying to ponder a lot. Estevan was talking with the IT men. While Gabe and Gavin were talking about where they could possibly bring his parents. "There's nothing in the car. They didn't leave anything that we can use to track them," Estevan said as he took a heavy breath. "B*llsh*t," Gabe cursed, was near to hit the wall with his fist. "Where could they possibly bring them?" Larisa mumbled to herself while walking endlessly, thinking of all the places that the Valestine used to do their transactions. "Can you stop? You look like Gabe when he's anxious," Gavin commented, annoyed by her. "Shut up. I'm trying to remember all the places that the Valestine used to use," she replied and continued walking there as if that was helping her to figure it out. "They are putting an end to this," Ambe
Chapter 116A ring to foreverHer knees dropped on the ground and her eyes were glued at Lucinda's dead body, covered with her own blood. It's over. Everything's fine now. She got justice in her own hands for her family and for Noah. All of a sudden, she just felt feeble as if she was able to release all the rage. "Larisa!" It was David. The moment he sat foot inside the abandoned place, he saw the different blood of the Valestine around. And there was Lucinda Valestine in front of Larisa, lifeless. The gun from his hand fell from his grip. He quickly ran towards Larisa who was bent in her knees. "Are you okay?" He asked. She didn't speak. Only a tiny smirk drew on her lips. "I killed them," she uttered. "But even if I do, I cannot still see my parents…my family that they killed," she mentioned with bitterness and pain. "David," Gabe called. "Leo," he simply said. He quickly stood up and ran towards them a bit far from Larisa. "Hey, you okay?" David asked Leo. "I am," he utte
Epilogue"You look so beautiful," Gabe's mother said and held her hand. They are already inside the car, waiting. Gabe and the others were already inside the Cathedral Church. Larisa smiled the softest as his mother praised her. "Are you nervous?" She asked. Well, she could tell it by her face. "I am," she replied. Her heart was drumming heavily. It feels like she's a student who was being asked by her own teacher about a certain topic in the class. Her hands were cold. How is she gonna walk on the aisle? What should she do inside once she sets foot? She was indeed agitated and overthinking about many things. "You know what, every bride feels like that. But you know what you should just think of once you enter the church?" She asked with a lovely smile. "Remember how you met him. Remember how your story began. Remember all those happy memories that you've spent with him and remember how the two of you overcame all the problems that you encountered along the way," his mother look
Prologue Castellan ClanIt was June 4, 1999 when one of the most powerful and billionaire in the world of Mafia gave birth to their heiress, the Castellan clan. It was raining that night and yet a lot of women are giving birth and a lot of patients keep coming by with their different situations. Some were filled with blood when they arrived in the hospital. Others were shouting in pain and if not, they were panicking. And for some patients? They were dead on arrival. Accidents, death, giving birth, a lot of things happen unexpectedly—and a lot can happen in just a minute. It was a hectic schedule in the hospital with all the patients. All the nurses' and the doctors' plates were full. "They are all inside," the man said and informed his boss. "Good," the woman replied with a tender smile while blowing smoke from her cigarette. She was only in front of the hospital with her car, watching the hospital closely while waiting for the right time to go in and execute their plan. "She's
Chapter 1 Mission"Your eyes were really captivating," the makeup artist commented while putting a blush on her cheeks in front of the vanity. She was only staring at herself blankly. She's all done after this makeup. "Have you ever heard that from anyone?" she asked. She chuckled unbelievably. "I heard it a million times," she replied coldly. Does she think this is the first time she heard it? She kept hearing it since she was child. "Oh, my bad. I was just enticed by your beauty, especially with those exquisite eyes." She complimented. Her eyes were hypnotizing. It can get everyone's attention in just a second. "Larisa!" She took a deep breath and closed her eyes when she heard her cousin call her name. Slowly, just like a wind that goes around, she can feel and hear the presence of the dagger coming towards her direction. It's like she has an eyes on it. She simply tilted her head as she raised her one hand with her eyes closed. "Arrogant b*tch," he commented when she was abl
Chapter 2 Personal Bodyguard "Annalise Leonila?" Candice read aloud while Larisa was tying her hair, getting ready to leave the house and make her first step. She was 18 when her parents began to give her missions. Those were small compared to this one. It's either their family left some dirt on their way and she would have to clean it all and that includes killing or she will accomplish a small mission that her father told her to. All those years, she never fails them with all the missions she handled. Larisa moved gently and immaculately. But this mission that was given to her, this is massive. It will take her a long time before she can accomplish everything. "Yeah, that would be me from now on once I left this house and successfully got in to the Clyborne's place." She explained and took a heavy breath after finishing her ponytail. "What's your first step? Aunt Lucinda gave you the authority to handle it all by yourself," Candice said. She's always in their house. It seems li
Chapter 3 Marriage "You're hired," As soon as Gabe Clyborne said that, he began to march out, leaving them all behind. He looks so tough with that body and blank with his face. She cannot deny what Candice told her. Yes, he's handsome. What you see in photos is what you also see in person. Everyone is still in awe after hearing how he hired her. Her eyes remained at him, watching him leave and go back to the mansion. It will take her a long time to accomplish this mission. Gabe Clyborne is hard to read. He's a closed book and that is what she discovered on their first meeting. "You got what you want," Leo said and now gave her a tiny smile. "David," the man she fought with, introduced and even offered his hand to her. She glanced at his hand for a second before she accepted it. In order to accomplish her mission, she should not just get the Clyborne's trust towards her but all the people who are on their side. That way, she will be able to play under their noses without them kno
Chapter 4Gabe's ParentsRight after Leo told them that big news, Larisa immediately went back to her room to report what she just heard. That was definitely true because it came from Leo. He knows a lot about Gabe because he is his assistant in everything."Candice, are you there?" Larisa asked on her watch. When no one is answering, she now uses her phone to call them. But before that, she froze for a moment as her eyes began to wander in every corner of the room. "I should check," she uttered and now started to check every part of the room. Even the small lamp that was there was examined by her. She was looking around to see if there was a recorder inside or a hidden camera. Well, it's not pathetic. She's just making sure of everything. "Okay, there's nothing here." She mumbled and took a deep sigh before she proceeded to call Candice. "Hello? I'm fvcking asleep why are you still call—""I have big news. Are you still in our house?" She asked while walking repeatedly. "No, I lef

Chapter 114Put an end"Hmm, it tastes good." Gabe commented to the cake that Larisa baked."It's a new flavor," she replied. There was a huge smile on her lips while watching him. "What should I do? I only know how to bake. Would you be fine eating sweets everyday when we get married?" They both laughed with that thought. "I can cook, you don't have to worry." He said while shaking his head. Larisa looked at the time on her wrist watch. "You said your parents are on their way here, right?" She asked with her brows crossed. "Yeah. Dad told me that my Mom bought a lot of things for you," he mentioned. "What? She's spoiling me," Larisa commented unbelievably. She really treats her like her real daughter. "You know her. She really likes you," Gabe replied with a tiny smile before he stole a kiss from her soft lips."Where are they? They are taking too long," she uttered, and could not help but to wonder."Maybe it's just traffic. You know this country," he took a heavy breath as i
Chapter 113Evil to evil"She's all over the news now," Leo commented as they stopped working in the cake shop and watched the news. All the customers were also watching it, how Larisa Castellan took over the properties that actually belonged to her. "It's just a little revenge," David uttered as he stood up beside him. There was the Valestine, avoiding the cameras that were taking their photos. "I can't even go to the hospital and visit Amber, I'm too weak for that." Leo said and took a deep breath as he continued to serve the orders. "I heard she's not in good condition. One of the men told me that she almost died earlier, but she still fought hard to live." David discussed. Just like them, they are also worried. But all they can do is to wait and stand by until Larisa makes her move."Do you think Larisa really plans to kick them out that quick?" Leo asked while Bea and Nathan were busy. "Of course not. She probably just did it because of what happened to Amber," David replied,
Chapter 112The end is near"I can see myself to Estevan," Gabe uttered while Larisa and him were watching Estevan from the door. Since the incident happened, Estevan didn't leave his wife's side anymore. He stayed there beside her, talking to her while holding her hand and planted kisses on it. "I was actually delighted that you were the first person I always see when I woke up from those incidents we've been through before," Larisa uttered as she took a deep sigh along with a small soft smile that flashed on her lips. Gabe reached her hand and held it tightly. "I know what he feels, I've been there." He uttered with a small smile as he turned back his eyes at Estevan inside the room. "Do you know what I always felt during those days that I was waiting for you to wake up?" He asked and glanced at her. "I felt like my world was collapsing. It feels like I'm gonna lose my mind if I lose you," he replied with a weak smile. "You were scared," she said. Gabe simply nodded at her. "
Chapter 111Burning rageLarisa was walking repeatedly in front of the operating room as Amber was brought there after what happened to her. She could not calm her mind. A lot of what ifs are pouring in her head. She was still stained with Amber's blood but she never wants to leave her side. "Amber Clyborne, she's my wife. Where is she?" Her eyes were captured as soon as he heard Estevan's anxious and frightened voice as he asked the nurse about her wife."Larisa!" Gavin exclaimed aloud that his voice almost echoed in the hospital. Their eyes all went at her who was standing in front of the operating room, shivering. When her eyes found Gabe, the weakness that she has been holding back for Amber finally filled her out. "What happened?" Gavin asked immediately. But before Larisa could even answer him, Gabe quickly pulled her towards him and locked her in his arms. He knows—he knows those eyes of hers. He can tell just by looking at her eyes what she feels. That is how Gabe Clyborne
Chapter 110Interfered "Hey, Larisa. What's with you?" Estevan asked when Larisa was only staring into nothing while they were having a funny conversation together. She looks anxious. "Did Amber reply?" She asked. "No. Maybe she's still busy shopping," Estevan uttered. She washed her hands on her face in frustration. "Where's that mall?" Larisa asked. "The only mall here in this city," Gavin answered instead. Larisa quickly stood up and was about to leave them behind. "Where are you going?" Gabe asked. "I'll follow her," she said. "Hey, calm down. Nothing's going to happen. My men are with her," Estevan said, making her calm. But then, her instincts tell her something that is bothering her. "Estevan, your wife is pregnant. How can you be calm there? The Valestine can quickly kill your men!" She exclaimed with frustration. They all became silent, especially Estevan. Larisa took a heavy breath and cooled herself down. "This is a war. Among us, Amber is the only one who cannot
Chapter 109The most treasured Clyborne "Why don't you pull the trigger, Lucinda? Let's end each other here," Gavin uttered, provoking her. She kept her gun on her grip tightly, pointing it at Larisa. They were cornered. It was when she realized that Larisa anticipated it all. She was only waiting for them to come and she was too dumb to decide recklessly again. "We retrieve, Lucinda." Yna uttered, glaring at them. "I will wipe off that fvcking smile of yours," Candice said firmly before they slowly retrieve and leave her cake shop. Larisa watched them leave with a smirk. "You were right," Estevan said. "Lucinda will really attack," Amber said unbelievably. "I told you. I know how they think and how they move," she said and chuckled as she put down the gun at the counter. "They buried Gabriel today," Gavin mentioned. "Obviously," Gabe uttered as he took a deep breath."What do we do now?" Leo asked. Larisa looked at them as she became silent. "We wait," replied. "We have to
