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
Chapter 28More"You're going home?" Leo asked while sitting on her bed. She packed a few of her things to go home. They must believe that she's going home to the place that she invented. "Yeah," she said and smiled the smallest. She was eager to leave and go back home to their house. It's their mess, she must clean everything by herself. Until now, what they did upsets her. She couldn't accept the fact that they risk her life for that d*mn plan of them. What were they thinking? Why would they do it without telling her? They should have not just sent her in the cave of their enemy if they will just treat her like a wind."How can you go home right away? You're injured," he said worriedly. "I'm fine, Leo. It doesn't hurt much," she said and smiled."Annalise," the door opened and Estevan Clyborne entered the room. He was smiling from ear to ear that it could almost rip his lips. What is it this time? Is he planning something again?"That smile scares me now," she said and shook her
Chapter 29Make him fallLeo couldn't work. He was only watching Gabe walk endlessly in front of his desk as if he was contemplating to the bone. It's been a day since Annalise left to go home. She left yesterday and until now, she hasn't called. Gabe was hesitating to call her either. "How am I supposed to focus and do my job?" He mumbled while David was near him.Well, since Annalise is on leave, David is here as Gabe's bodyguard. He just realized that it was kinda boring to just stay there and wait for them to finish their job. How can Annalise bear it each day? "Just ignore him. He's losing it," David said and chuckled unbelievably. It was obvious that he's losing his mind. He was probably thinking whether to go and see Annalise or to call her now. But then, the only thing he can do is to call her. Annalise won't like it if he follows her there. "I wonder if he even slept last night. He was probably thinking of Annalise the whole night," Leo mentioned and breathed out in distr
Chapter 30 FallingIt was a bloodshed. The entire place was filled with dead people and the ground was painted with their blood. Lucinda Valestine was down along with her husband. They were badly hurt with the shots on their legs and arms. Yna Valestine passed out after losing too much blood. Gabriel Valestine was too weak to stand up. Candice Valestine was crawling in pain. Noah Valestine was screaming in so much pain as if he was in hell. Then, there was Larisa Valestine, standing up beyond all the wounds she had. The Clyborne were also down. Gavin Clyborne was on the corner of the entire place, shivering in pain. Larisa Valestine just stabbed him as if there was no tomorrow. Estevan Clyborne was crawling down, trying to reach his dead wife's hand, painted with her own blood. He was being stab in his chest while looking at his wife. And yet, he couldn't do anything but to reach her hand. David was killed by Noah Valestine. But there was Gabe Clyborne, standing up beyond the wounds
Chapter 31Drunk confession"My beautiful daughter," the man said while his ears were on the belly of his wife. They were sitting in the bed, looking delighted. The woman was smiling from ear to ear while watching her husband. "How can you say that she's beautiful when she's not yet coming out?" The woman asked and chuckled. "It's my daughter. Of course, she's the prettiest because her parents are beautiful people." The man defended. He looked the happiest and excitement was beaming from his eyes. "I will teach her everything," the man said. "I'm gonna teach her how to use the guns," another man appeared as he entered the room. They were all filled with joy. The baby will be the luckiest once she comes out and is born in this world. A huge love is waiting for her. These people will treat her like a princess in a castle."Hey, that's too early." The man said. "We have no choice. It's the world that she has to embrace once she grows up," the other man said."I know this child will
Chapter 32 Know your placeThis is not the first time that Gabe told her that. The first time was when she picked him up in the same bar, drunk. It's almost like a deja vu. Why does he have to keep uttering words that she should not hear when he's drunk? I love you.That's exactly what he said last night. Do you know what she did right after Gabe told her that? She left them all there and came back home by herself. Now, she's stuck in her room, thinking of everything. Does he know how much he bothers her with those words? But then, she hates herself when she feels like she was only waiting for Gabe to confess what he feels—when he's not drunk and in his right mind to say those words. Why does his words when he's drunk keep dismaying her?"Estevan asked us to drink last night," Annalise said while talking to Candice on the phone."Okay, so what happened?" She asked."They got drunk," she simply replied. "Hmmm, what about you?" Candice asked."I didn't drink. I left them all there af
Chapter 33Shattered"Will you really allow her to invest?" Leo asked while they were having their breakfast with Gabe and David. It's the first time that Gabe was not in a hurry to leave. They still have a chance to eat."Yeah," he simply said. It annoys Annalise even more. She just has to hide it. "I mean, you have a lot of investors. The company doesn't even need her. Besides, when you get married in the future you will inherit all the businesses of your parents. You don't need her," Leo discussed. He was also against her. If he will allow her to invest, it only means that she will have the chance to leech around him and seduce him all the time. Annalise kept her silence, pretending that it was nothing for her when she was already crushing that woman in her mind. "Well, she knows her place now. Let's let her roam around," Gabe said before her eyes landed to Annalise who was not looking at them. "You can walk properly now?" David asked."A bit," she replied. "That's good," he
Chapter 34The CastellanShe rushed through the comfort room and almost drowned herself by washing her face with the water on the sink in front of the mirror. Hatred, jealousy, and pain. It was all sinking in that it felt like bursting on her. Their image was stuck in her head. She wants to make a fuss. She wants to throw a fit so bad. But then, she can't. All she can do is to hold herself back. "He's an enemy," she mumbled while staring at herself in the mirror. He's an enemy. They do not have any relationship to be jealous. But why does it pains her to see them kissing in his office? Why does it shatter her the moment her eyes witness everything? It feels like she was stabbed endlessly. "Fvck," she cursed and shut her eyes emphatically. She should not feel any of this. Why is she hurt? Why does she want to slap the girl? But then, how did she react earlier? She came in like she was just nothing to Gabe. Like they didn't share a kiss twice. As if they didn't sleep together for h
