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
Chapter 49Poisonous plan"Half of them are convinced but the rest are also unconvinced," Estevan said while talking to Gabe and Gavin. They just went home from the office. Gavin and Estevan were already at Gabe's house, waiting for him. They are really solving all the problems together. The relationship they have is not easy to destroy. That is what strengthens their clan. Now, Annalise realized why her clan wants to kill the three of them on Amber's birthday. Gavin, Gabe and Estevan are the source of the tough and firm wall that the Clyborne has. "What do you think, Gabe?" Gavin asked while simply watching the smoke from the hot coffee in front of him spread upwards. "Bring the last card," Gabe replied and sighed. "We'll announce Amber's pregnancy," Gavin quickly said before his eyes laid to Estevan. "Are you sure about it?" Estevan asked with anxiousness."Of course. We will be able to fix our image and the marriage you have," Gavin discussed."What about our baby? This world
Chapter 50Poisonous loveThe plan is to poison Gabe. In all people among the Clybornes, why does it have to be Gabe? Since last night that her mother told her about that, she hasn't been able to sleep well. Her mind was filled with Gabe and the new plan. All she has to do is to turn a blind eye and let Gabe be poisoned by one of their men that will be sent tonight. "We're going to join the dinner," David said. "What?" Annalise uttered in surprise. Her eyes widened that she even stopped from drying all the plates that will be used. The maids are supposed to do this, but because they wanted to help for the small celebration that will be held at Gabe's house, here they are doing some of the job. "Gabe told me to join," Leo replied. It was harder for her now. How can she turn a blind eye while witnessing in front her the death of Gabe—the man she's in love with? It would be also her death no matter how she hold herself back. She couldn't even imagine seeing Gabe take the poison witho
Chapter 51Cruel Love is blind. Maybe that saying is actually true. To make it vivid, love makes you dumb. How dumb of her to save Gabe for the third time and risking her own life just because she loves him? The moment she grabbed the cold steel of the spoon, she didn't think of what might happen to her anymore. She enjoyed the poison that melted in her system. When she felt it killing her, she only thought of Gabe. Love. Fvcking love. Who would have thought that Larisa Valestine would fall in love with her own enemy? "Annalise!" David shouted. Everyone began to panic with what just happened to Annalise. Gavin's eyes laid to the food that was served. He held the spoon and stared at it. His brows met while completing the puzzle in his mind. "She's poisoned," Estevan uttered. "What?" Her mother asked in surprise. They all now stopped from eating, thinking that all the food might have a poison. "Don't let anyone from the kitchen leave," Gavin said firmly as he crumpled his hands i
Chapter 52Obstinate"What did you do to him?" Estevan asked as he arrived in the abandoned and secluded place where they are bringing the people who deserve to be punished or people who must die in their hands. "I'm not doing anything yet," Gavin replied with a small devilish smirk on his lips. "Where is he?" Estevan asked. The stage was empty. There was only the light in the middle that brightened the place a little. Gavin was sitting on the wood chair calmly. "Let go of me! It was not me who poisoned her! It's really not me!" The man screamed as he was being dragged by their men. He was literally begging for his life while crying a river. "Speaking of the devil," Gavin said and breathed out heavily. "A devil will be facing another devil." Gavin uttered and cackled like a cruel monster. "S-Sir," the man mumbled, stuttering with all the fear that had been filling his chest. "It was not me, I swear! Please…spare me!" He begged with his entire body shaking in fear. The man began
Chapter 53Black carAnnalise was stuck in her bed. She had been awake since 5 am and yet she couldn't pull herself out of the bed as if her entire body was glued to the soft bed. Her eyes were locked on the ceiling along with endless thoughts running in her head. It's already 7 am. She has been thinking about it for 2 hours now and it seems like she has no plan to get out of her room. Did she just refuse to go home? Did she just disobey her mother's order? A family and a parent must be worried right? Why do they look like they are worried about the mission she has instead of her? She almost died with that poison and yet her mother didn't bother to ask her how she was. She was only concerned about their intent to the Clybornes. She's starting to perceive things about it. "Annalise?" The silence that was filling the entire room was broken when she heard that baritone voice outside of her room. He began to knock gently and politely on her door. She sighed as she sat on her bed befor
