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
Chapter 68Her real family"Gabe, she knew that she was adopted!" Her mother said while crying a river. After hearing it coming from Annalise, she couldn't bear it anymore. "Mom, we can't tell her yet. This is not the right time," Gabe said while pondering in front of the window. He can't make a reckless move. Everything must be planned to win this dangerous game. "She will soon find her parents, you know that." His father now said. It breaks their heart to see her suffer from everything that the Valestine did to her. "I want her to find it out by herself," he uttered as his jaw clenched. This time, he doesn't want to tell everything by himself. She must be the one to find it out. "My job is to only help her find out about it. I want her to be the one to decide if she will allow the rage to burst to her," Gabe said. All he will do is to support her with everything that she wants to do. If she wants to avenge her parents, then it would be her decision and not his. "I trust you," h
Chapter 69Still "Don't force it," Gabe said while she was trying to walk on her left leg. She can still feel the pain from it but she has to move it and practice walking to lessen it. She can't just stay here in this house. She has to move and recover from this. Her family might be on the move to attack them and she can never bear to burden Clyborne while protecting her just because she's like this. She wants to protect herself even without the Clyborne. "I have to do this," she said, full of determination. Larisa was so eager to heal and come back stronger again."Enough. Let's call it a day," Gabe said and grabbed her hand."I'm not done yet, Gabe." She said firmly and pulled her hand back as she continued walking again. "What's with her?" Leo asked David beside him. They have been watching here since earlier to practice walking. She has been trying to walk there earlier with her left leg. "She's stressed," David commented while watching Larisa properly. "You're tired, Larisa
Chapter 70Your enemy"What?" Lucinda asked in surprise after Candice told them what Noah did. He left and snuck out from them. They were forbidden to go out as they were being careful from the Clybornes and Noah just left without them knowing. "I didn't know. I just saw it on the footage," Candice said as she showed them the footage on her laptop. "What are you gonna do to your son now, Gabriel?" Larisa's father asked sarcastically. He used to bash and criticize Larisa back then. Now that his own son disobeys him, he has no words to say. "It's not like he fell in love with our enemy," he said firmly, which made Larisa's father's blood boil. "Enough. Do you know where he goes?" Yna asked. Candice shook her head. "But I know someone that he will surely go to," she added as she glanced at all of them. Noah has always stuck with Larisa since they were kids. He never left without her as if she was already his mother. When Larisa is not in a celebration of their family, Noah will jus
