Chapter 32

Know your place

This 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

    Chapter 35Only herIt was the Castellan clan who had been visiting her in her dreams. Those faces with their widest smiles in their lips were flashing back in her mind. She couldn't move and pulled herself back to her senses. Why would they appear in her dreams? Then, she remembered what Leo told her. People appear in your dreams when they have a connection to you. The only connection they have is that it was her family who erased them in the Mafia world. But why do they call her name multiple times? Why were they telling her to avenge them when she's a Valestine. She felt like she was about to lose her mind. "What? Is there something wrong?" Candice asked over the phone."I've been dreaming about the Castellan, Candice…it's creepy. Are they chasing me?" She asked and threw herself now on her bed. "What the hell?" Candice asked after absorbing what she just said."They keep calling my name, d*mn it. Why do I dream about them? I wasn't even in my mind that night they were killed. I

Maybe relatives?” He replied, unsure about it. Annalise never had a chance to ask him about that. “What do you mean?” Annalise asked with confusion. Leo sighed heavily. “I have siblings. But they have their own lives now. After our parents died we all separated lives. I was only 15 years old back then,” he discussed with a weak smile. She couldn’t take her eyes off him.“How did you live alone?” She asked. Leo chuckled bitterly. “I was starving myself, Annalise…just to continue my studies. My siblings abandoned me. Thankfully, Gabe came into my life. We met in highschool and he told me back then to be his secretary. That’s why I was able to live until he told me to live in his house and then I was able to graduate because of him.” She was lost for words. Why is she hearing another good side of Gabe? From David,

"They are still not here," David answered while cooking for dinner."But they should be home now," he uttered while checking the time in his wrist watch. "Maybe they overtime again," David commented, telling him what possibly happened."Why is it raining so heavy? Goodness," they both looked at Leo who was walking towards them, soaked from the rain. Both of them stopped as their brows met while staring at him."Why are you alone?" Gavin asked."Where's Gabe and Annalise?" David asked as well. Leo now stopped and checked the time on his wrist watch. Now, his brows met as well as he looked back at them."They are not here yet?" He asked with confusion."Yes, I was looking for Gabe." Gavin replied."But I left first because I went somewhere. They should be here by now," Leo explained. The three of them were stuck with each other's eyes, thinking where did the two go right now.

David just came here because he ran some errands and decided to wait for them to pack up so he can go home with them. He didn't bring the car. That means, they are going home with the car they brought here. "Yes. That's why I didn't go home with them that night," Leo answered.Gabe couldn't even focus on the last sheet of paper that he had to review. It's because Annalise looks absently-minded. Earlier in the morning, she kept looking out of nowhere, pondering about something. He knows one thing. Something's weighing her mind. It bothers him a lot. Up until now, she was only looking at the wall. "So, what did you do there?" David asked."I just visited. It's my nephew's birthday," Leo replied. "I should have brought Annalise. But good thing I didn't. Right, Annalise?" Leo asked before all their eyes shifted at her. She didn't respond. She was completely agitated that she didn't even hea

    Chapter 39You have no rightAnnalise just added fuel to the fire that makes it burn even more. The fire that they were playing with became huge because of what happened between them last night. Her eyes began to open the next day as she woke up. Headache greeted her immediately early in the morning. "Sh*t," she mumbled. This is now the consequence of getting wasted last night—the hangover. That's why she doesn't want to drink. Headaches the next day are the worst. "Hmmm," she froze as soon as she heard that. Everything now flashed back in her head. All she could remember was kissing Gabe last night when they were both drunk. Her heart began to pound so fast when her eyes shifted down on Gabe's hand wrapped on her waist. She was too stunned and stiff. Slowly, she looked at him behind her and confirmed that it was him. Gabe Clyborne was sleeping so tight beside her. She began to panic. Until her eyes went down on her body under the comforter that was covering their bodies. What s

She was only standing on the veranda of her room, staring at the ocean a bit far from there. The wind was blowing gently, enough to play with her hair. It was cold, but she was still outside to greet and welcome the wind. She will only cry if she stays on her bed. Crying makes people weak. She hates it. "We all know Gavin Clyborne. He has been investigating so we are also being cautious in all our actions," Lucinda mentioned."His eyes are everywhere even if he is with all of you on the island," his father added. They were all reminding her of what she needs to do. How could she even do it? She was too scattered to focus on her mission here. "Make sure to do it very carefully. One wrong move and they will find out who you are," Gabriel now speaks. "I understand," she uttered and shut her eyes to c

    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

    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

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. "

    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

"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 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.
