Chapter 60AdoptedAnnalise was in Gabe's room, waiting for him to go back after the interview. She was relentless in walking and couldn't wait to face Gabe. That was why she didn't feel good about it when they accidentally mentioned it in the media. She never thought that Gabe would announce and even showed her to the world during the interview as his girlfriend. It's not because she doesn't want it, but because she knew that it would put her real identity at risk. There would be a big chance for them to find out and dig all her lies all this time.If they find out that she is a Valestine, they would probably despise her and kick her out, dead. It would be over for her and Gabe. Why does he have to announce it and declare her as his girlfriend? She couldn't help but to be anxious that some huge people might recognize her. "Gabe!" She exclaimed immediately as soon as the door opened. Annalise stopped from biting her nails as she finally faced him. Gabe wasn't surprised anymore when h
Chapter 61Safe placeShe was in awe. Her mind doesn't seem to process properly after hearing that directly from Yna Valestine. Now, she was not sure what to do anymore. But then, she started to realize everything that has been hurting her all along. Was it the reason why her parents couldn't introduce her as their heiress? Was it the reason why she has to accomplish this mission first in exchange for that? Was it the reason why they don't get worried about her? She crumpled her hands and sobbed in secrecy. Annalise managed not to make any sounds as her tears were betraying her so much. She's adopted.She clearly heard that from Yna. If she is adopted, who are her parents? Where did she come from? Now, she knows why she doesn't look like her mother nor her father. All along, she was only trying to convince herself that she looks like them and it's only normal. She is not a Valestine; she doesn't belong to that clan. Her identity is unknown. Larisa might not be her real name. Everythi
Chapter 62Facing them "Are you cooking breakfast for us?" Leo asked as he arrived in the kitchen with David. They just all woke up and did their morning routines. They just found Gabe in the kitchen, busy cooking food. "Of course not," he replied coldly.Leo's eyes turned thin as Gabe answered disappointed him. "I can't believe him," Leo uttered. "Let me guess, this is for Annalise, right?" David guessed and began to paint a playful smile on his lips along with his teasing eyes, glancing at Gabe. "Who else?" Gabe replied proudly. "He never cooked," Leo commented and chuckled.When Annalise came into his life, Gabe did the things he didn't usually do before. He even cook for her and bring her to his favorite restaurant when he never brought anyone there before. "Gabe," their were captured when Gavin arrived in the house, walking with his fierce and ferocious face as he came in the kitchen."It's still early. What's going on?" Gabe asked while busy frying the chicken for Annalis
Chapter 63A daughter's cry"Will you really let her leave?" The woman asked with anxiousness while the man in front of his balcony was simply taking his cigarette and spreading the smoke in the air as he blew it around. "It's her decision," he replied coldly. She hated how nonchalant he was about it. He was not even bothered by it. "They once hurt her. How sure are you that they cannot do the same now?" The woman asked. She was so worried about leaving the house because of her situation. Coming back to that place can only put her in danger again. He shut his eyes calmly as he took a heavy breath. He was breaking into a million pieces. Making this decision was not as easy for him. He was so scared to take this risk, but he trusted her decision. He was playing with them, and this time he just bet his risky card without assurance that everything will go well. "They won't hurt her again…for now. She's still a family to them—part of them," he replied sternly. "I swear, I cannot forgi
Chapter 64 IntervenedSometimes, there will be really a moment or time where you will question your own existence as a human. There will be times where you will just stop in the middle of the way with your mind not functioning properly as you feel lost, like you don't know how to make another step to continue. The moment that Larisa stepped out from the house she used to live in, she questioned her existence and she felt lost. Why does she have to exist? What is her mission to this world that she's still living until now? Where should she go now? If the Clyborne finds out everything she did, she will definitely lose another home. Her tears were endless. It began to drop again while she was in front of their huge gate. Who would have thought that this would happen? She never once thought that she would turn her back to her own clan. All of this was not in their plan. A taxi stopped in front of her and she quickly headed inside it with a lot of things running in her head. Her audaci
Chapter 65Birthday surprise"Are you disturbing Annalise?" Amber asked unbelievably as she quickly pushed Gabe away from her and guard her inside her room. "What?" Gabe asked, stunned. "I can't believe you. Are you forcing her to let you in, huh? Dude, we're not like that anymo—""He was like that before?" Annalise asked and cut Estevan's word. "You fvcking assh*le, what are you saying?!" Gabe exclaimed madly. "It's not me, it was only him!" He defended himself and was already explaining to her. "Men," Amber uttered and shook her head. "What were you doing here, then?" Estevan asked suspiciously."We were just talking," Gabe answered. "You are only concluding without knowing what's really happening." He added and simply sighed with frustration towards them. "I won't buy that," Amber whispered as they both giggled."Women," Estevan now commented."By the way, what were you going to tell me?" Gabe asked Annalise again. She gulped as they were all now looking at her. Maybe this i
Chapter 66Confession of sins"Do they really want to meet me?" Gabe asked Leo when he just told him his schedule for today."Yes! They are huge clients, so you must settle everything with them today." Leo uttered. Annalise was only behind them. All they need to do is to make him leave the house in order for them to start their plan to surprise him. And the only solution is to urge Gabe to work to buy them some time. "Should I come?" Annalise asked, pretending well so Gabe won't be suspicious of something. He can't have a hint about the surprise that they will prepare. "No, I won't allow that. You stay here and wait for me," Gabe said, sounding so grumpy. Annalise smiled and simply nodded. Gabe sighed with no choice in front of Leo who was doing well. "Fine. Prepare the car," he commanded."I won't be able to go with you. David will go instead," Leo mentioned."And why?" Gabe asked as his brows met."I don't feel well," he replied and even touched his forehead."Let's go," David
Chapter 67Forgiveness"I know everything, from the very beginning." Gabe said. Her eyes were locked at him. She couldn't move a bit. Her entire body was shivering and suddenly felt weak that any moment she could fall on the ground. He knows everything? He knew who she really was? "You knew?" She asked, stunned by it. She was about to lose it. Her mind was just starting to function with everything that he said. It seems like it's not them who will be surprised but her. All this time that she was weighing her mind with all the secrets she has been hiding, he knew everything. He knew who she was and all the cruelty she did."We also knew," Estevan said, which made her feel weak even more. She stepped backwards as she couldn't take it all. They all knew? They knew what she did all along? Does that mean that they were just pretending just like her? Gabe walked slowly towards her with no judgment from his eyes. It seems like he was only waiting for this day, the reason why they contin
