Chapter 41 Divorce"I didn't do any of these, Estevan!" Amber said aloud while Estevan was searching all her stuff looking for more. She was already crying a river while watching the mad Estevan, thinking that it was her behind everything that happened. "Stop it, Estevan!" She exclaimed and pushed him away from her things. But it was already late when Estevan saw other evidence inside her luggage. Their eyes were locked at the brown envelope in Estevan's hands. Another picture of them before all the incidents happened. The anger is sinking in him. He was shaking because of furiousness filling his entire body. It feels like his world collapsed. He couldn't breathe properly. "Why is it there?" Amber asked with her widened eyes, shivering in fear. "Why is it there? I don't know any of that!" She shouted. Before she could throw a fit and defend herself, the phone that Estevan found earlier beeped. There was a message, a video message that was sent there. Estevan didn't hesitate and p
Chapter 42Your childEstevan and Amber separated from their hotel room. Estevan was so affected that he couldn't accept that it was Amber in all people. Guilt is bothering her even more. She feels sorry for the two of them. Annalise will not deny that Estevan and Amber became close to her heart. But now, she was playing them, betraying them. "So what happened now?" Candice asked. The call was probably on loudspeaker."We did it," Annalise said. There's no way that they reconcile, unless they prove soon that it was really not Amber and they were all just being played. "Estevan will file a divorce," she uttered and shut her eyes heavily.She never once thought that she will feel this bad before she accepted this mission. Who would have thought that she will like them all? Why do they have to be kind when they could treat her as a trash so she could have a reason to hate them and betray all of them? "Good. We can call it a success," she heard Yna said with joy beaming from her voice
Chapter 43AlmostAmber is pregnant. It was stuck and glued in Annalise's head. Her lips parted after Amber announced it with her eyes watering while staring at Estevan, her husband. Annalise catched herself clenching her hands. Her conscience and guilt were pestering her. It's haunting her every second. She's ruining a child's family like she's making their baby miserable. "You're what?" Estevan asked.The rest of them were processing what Amber just told them. They were all stunned by what they just heard. "I am…you heard me, Estevan." Amber sobbed as her tears went down from her eyes. She handed the pregnancy test on Estevan's palm, showing the two red lines on it. Confirm. She's telling the truth. Amber is pregnant. Estevan's eyes were stuck on it. He couldn't move. Should he be happy that he's going to be a father now? Given the situation they have, he was not sure. He's going to be a father and the mother of his child is the traitor who was behind everything that happened to
Chapter 44Someone"Who was that?" Gabe asked again. His eyes were locked at her as if he didn't have any plan to remove his gaze at her. She was shivering. Her nails were already buried in her palms while she couldn't say anything in front of Gabe. She was stunned and was in awe. Her heart was drumming deafeningly. Her knees suddenly wanted to tremble and she was holding herself back so as not to be weak in front of him. If she fails to cover this one, everything's over for them. She will not be able to go out of here alive. She can't be caught. This is not the right time to unleash all her dark secrets.Calm down, Larisa. She mumbled in her head."Oh, it's a friend of mine…" she chuckled awkwardly. When Gabe looked unconvinced with that, she knew she had to explain more. "I called her Mom since my parents died. Her parents were dead too so we decided to call each other 'Mom', and got used to it." Annalise discussed and pretended to clean some of her things around her room to avoi
Chapter 45To cover it“Estevan,” Gavin called when he suddenly stood up without saying a word. He began to march out of the dining area, acting deaf who didn't hear anything. “Stay here,” Gabe said, when Gavin was about to follow him. Right after saying his thoughts about the situation of Amber, he just left in silence. Gabe can understand what Estevan feels. He’s definitely confused about everything that’s happening. However, he will not take any sides even though Estevan is his cousin. They all saw changes to Estevan when he got married to Amber. They were even worried that the marriage could go wrong and ruined everything even more as Estevan was known as a womanizer who bedded and made a lot of women cry because of him. Amber was also affected. They are both hurt with this situation. “I’ll go,” Gabe uttered and followed Estevan instead of Gavin. Ever since they were born and their parents introduced them to this chaotic world, the three of them treated each other as brothers
Chapter 46Girlfriend“A party?” Candice asked while Annalise was putting makeup by herself. She refused Gabe's offer to send her a makeup artist. Well, it’s not really a big party unlike what they had before. Not everyone is invited. Gavon took care of the guest list and made sure that no incident would happen again. They even searched the entire place and checked all the people who will work for the small party.“Gavin thought of this idea to kill the rumors spreading about Estevan and Amber,” she mentioned as she wore the earrings. Candice couldn’t help but to chuckle. “He’s really smart,” she commented unbelievably. He knows how to clean all the mess well. “Noah spreaded the news,” Candice mentioned. She knew it. She was right all along that they were the one behind it why that rumor suddenly spread in the entire world. But Gavin was too clever to cover it up and clean their image. “He’s into us, Larisa. He hasn't been sending an invitation to us.” Candice said. Her clan was n
Chapter 47Alive“I didn’t know that you have a girlfriend. How come the world didn’t hear about it?” the man asked and chuckled.They were just interested in her earlier, and now they treat her differently when they find out that she is Gabe’s girlfriend. She was still in awe. What Gabe suddenly told them was still processing in her head. Her heart was losing it already. However, she knew that she couldn't be his girlfriend. She clearly told him that they cannot be in a relationship yet. Everything between them must stay like this. It’s a good thing that the world doesn’t know about it. It would be her end if that happens as her fake identity might be put at risk. “I want our relationship to be private,” he replied politely while Annalise just kept her tiny smile to them. What is she supposed to say? She was not even expecting that Gabe would say that. All she can do is to look unsurprise in front of these men. “Do you know that Gabe never introduces a girl? He must be so in love w
Chapter 48Necklace“How sure are you that the baby is alive, Gabe?” Gavin asked while following Gabe in the kitchen. He just left them with all the questions after claiming that the baby of the Castellan was alive all this time. It was kinda absurd and strange. But for Gavin who knows Gabe well, he knows that Gabe never joked about all these kinds of matters. It’s not like he doesn’t believe what he suddenly said. He just wants some enlightenment from him. Last night, he avoided all his questions about it. He was not even able to have a blink after he said that to them. “Come on! Just tell me!” he exclaimed with annoyance. “What’s going on?” Annalise asked when she went into the dining hall and they could all hear Gavin’s voice, throwing a fit about what Gabe told them last night at the party.“You know him. He’s always curious and when he’s curious he won’t be at peace not until he finds the answers for all his questions,” Leo explained and took a deep breath. ‘’Do you believe w
