Chapter 19

Drunk kiss

"Where's Gabe?" Annalise asked when they were in the dining hall to eat. He usually eats with them these past few days, but he's not here tonight.

"He was here earlier," Leo replied while busy serving the food.

"I'll go and call him," Annalise insisted.

David looks fine rather than earlier. Annalise's hug comforted him with the heaviness that he feels—but not for Gabe Clyborne who saw them. He never knew that his world would feel like collapsing in just a hug.

"Gabe?" Annalise began to knock on his door.

Gabe was alarmed inside and even sat on his bed after hearing Annalise calling his name from outside. What is she doing here? His heart was pounding again but the image of Annalis hugging David was throbbing down to his chest.

"Are you there?" She knocked again. But Gabe chose not to respond and waited for her to leave.

"I'll tell the maids to give you food," Annalise said again before Gabe didn't hear any noise outside of his door anymore.

    Chapter 20I remember it"You're so heavy," Annalise mumbled while they were already in front of his room's door. She was in a hurry, preventing the others from seeing them like this. "Annalise," it was the third time he called her name with his eyes closed. With annoyance, she threw him on his bed and looked at him sharply. He was acting strange towards her, avoiding her when she didn't do anything wrong to him. And yet…And yet with that one kiss earlier faded everything. He melted all of that by a drunk kiss. "D*mn it," she cursed and washed her hands on her face. He kissed her. Gabe Clyborne kissed her. His soft lips went to hers, it was glued in her head. His breath that she could smell while exchanging kisses with him. It tastes like cherry—those lovely lips of his. His tongue that plays with her tongue seduced her. Thode bare hands that lingered on her waist and pulled her closer to him were tempting her to make a sin. Until now, her heart was drumming like crazy. The butter

    Chapter 21TogetherShe kissed him back. How can she deny that? Gabe Clyborne remembers everything that happened that night. Annalise has to breathe out away from Gabe. She's starting to think that she is sick with everything that she feels. But thinking of what Leo told her when you like someone, makes her even more scared than having an illness. His touch. His stares. His fragrance. His words. His kiss. Those were playing in her head. This is wrong. She should not feel these things. That kiss was already a mistake, she should not follow it with another big mistake."Are you still going to work?" David asked while making some coffee for the two of them. "Yeah, why not?" Annalise asked."I heard Leo will take a leave today. He's sick," David said. "Also, there's a typhoon." He added and pointed out the weather outside. That was when she realized that there was really a typhoon. The wind was much stronger than usual. The sun was defeated by these dark clouds. Thunder was striking s

    Chapter 22 TensionAnnalise was still awake. She could hear the heavy rain a bit. It was louder if she's out of this room. The wind was blowing really hard as if it was mad tonight. She was only eyeing the ceiling while Gabe was beside her, still holding her hand. Her head was filled with tons of questions.Why is Gabe being like this to her? Does he feel the weird things she feels? Why is her heart pounding when he's around? Questions. It's not allowing her to rest by thinking of those. She bit her lower lip and sighed. Can you believe it? She's in the bed with Gabe Clyborne—her enemy. It's a sin. It's a sin to kiss Gabe Clyborne but she did. She still can remember how she responded to his kiss. It's a sin to feel that her heart is pounding to him, but she can't stop it. It's a sin to sleep and spend the night with Gabe, but here she is, spending the night with him."What's on your mind?" He asked softly with his eyes closed. She looked at him and he was still asleep."Do you feel a

    Chapter 23Jealous"Are you okay? We lost your location last night because of the typhoon," Candice said on the phone. Annalise was on the veranda of her room, looking at the sky. Finally, the typhoon is gone. The sun began to shine again as if it didn't experience any storm at all. At last, it was able to gleam and provide light for all the people. "I'm fine, don't worry." She replied. The truth is she was relieved to know that they didn't find out her location last night. They would have known that she stayed in the office of Gabe Clyborne. Everything that's happening is bothering her. What she feels and what she thinks about him. Last night, they spent the night together. She was in his arms, it was really warm. How she hates to admit it, but for the first time in her life, she felt safe and away from all the perils. Smelling his scent was addictive, making her want to stay longer in his arms. Last night was the best night she ever had in her entire life. It was wrong though; it

Now, she couldn't even forget about it. All she could do right after he said that was to leave him alone in order for her to escape the sin that she might do again. What are they? She has no idea as well. Does he like her then? She was hoping he wouldn't. Because if he did, she would probably melt like ice. They were jeopardized and they must stop it as soon as they can. But how could she stop everything when Gabe is being like that every time they are together? "Annalise," Leo said as he went into the kitchen. "Hey," she uttered and forced a small smile. "Your coffee is cold," he commented. She simply touched the mug and it was already cold as he said. Annalide breathed out when she realized that she was only sitting there for an hour, thinking about everything. "I didn't notice," she replied. She didn'

    Chapter 25 Deadly Annalise"I won't force you to reciprocate what I feel. But don't avoid me…don't distance yourself from me. Do you know how suffocating is that? You're smothering me, Annalise." Gabe said.It was his last words in his room after that night. She knew she'd fallen. Even though she tried hard to deny and stop it, it was too strong to defeat. She wants more of him even if it is wrong. Her conscience was troubling her. She felt like she was betraying her own clan as well. All those words from Gabe never silents her mind. In the morning, afternoon, and in the evening. She remembers everything."Gabe?" She called when she came inside her room and Gabe was inside, standing in front of the mannequin of her gown for Amber's birthday. "Hey," he said and gave her that huge smile. How can that smile soften her?"What are you doing here? The makeup artist will go here in a minute," she said as she checked the time on her wrist watch. "I just came to check your gown," he said an

    Chapter 26Behind itThere's a rainbow after the rain. The sunshine appears the next day. After the incident that happened, Amber Leondale, Gabe Clyborne, Gavin Clyborne, and Estevan Clyborne were brought to the hospital along with Leo, Annalise and David. Their parents were safe as they were outside when the incident happened. Among them, it was Annalise and Amber who were affected the most from the said incident. Amber Leondale broke her arm and gained a lot of wounds. Annalise injured her feet. Can you believe it? She managed to kill all those men and save the three Clyborne from the death with all the wounds and with her injured feet. Up until now, Annalise brought them in awe. Her eyes were blank and cold. She stood so firm as if she wasn't injured at all. She held the guns and killed the men in just a blink of an eye. Annalise was so far but those three men were shot on their foreheads—bullseye. She acted like she was good at it. As if she had done it before. "Annalise what?"

    Chapter 27 HomeAnnalise was stunned. She was only staring at the ceiling of her hospital room. Gabriel Clyborne just admitted it to her. It was her own clan who was behind it. Now, she turned off her phone to refrain them from reaching her and locating her. She couldn't process it in her head. Annalise was in awe. She has been crumpling her hands for a few minutes after ending the call. Why would they do that if they knew that she was there? Do they want her to die with them as well? They began this plan together. But they made another move without even informing her. It was upsetting. She didn't have to hear their explanation. Confirming that it was them behind it was enough. "Annalise!" Estevan exclaimed like an excited kid when he showed up in the room again."What the hell?" She mumbled when her eyes shifted down at the wheelchair in front of her. It was the wheelchair that he bought for her. "Did I just predict that you will need a wheelchair?" He asked arrogantly and pushed

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

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

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

"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

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,

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. "

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

"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.

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.
