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
Chapter 71Obey"Will you marry your enemy, Larisa Valestine?"From that moment and the first time that she felt her heart beating aloud like this, she knew that nothing's changed. Gabe Clyborne can still make her chest pound swiftly. He can still captivate her and melt her by those stares. The enemy that she was supposed to kill is here in front of her, holding a box of diamond ring, asking her to marry him. Isn't it funny? How fast the night changes in the blink of an eye. She was just aiming to kill this man, and now she's here, eyeing Gabe Clyborne with full of love from her eyes. She was naturally born captivating. But she never knew that she can also be captivated by someone like Gabe Clyborne. It was only Gabe that she could see. It was only his name that her heart was calling. "I will be the happiest traitor to marry my enemy," she replied indirectly as a sweet smile flashed through her lips. The glee that was gleaming from their eyes couldn't be hidden. Gabe was the happies
Chapter 72 Engaged"You're getting better," Gabe proudly said while watching Larisa walk. She can now walk properly than before. Sometimes, she stops because of her injury. But it was so much better than before. Larisa couldn't help but to smile. She can now just feel a bit of pain from it. "I can be your bodyguard now," she said happily. Gabe's smile faded after she said that. "No, you're not gonna be my bodyguard anymore. Don't you want to do anything? Start a business? I will support it," he suggested with a huge smile. She can actually afford it. Even though she left the Valestine, she has a lot of her own money in her bank account. "I can use my own money," she uttered. "But I'm kinda lost now. I still don't know yet what to start," she added and took a heavy breath. "The cake you baked was the best," Gabe complimented. "Why don't you start a cake shop?"Her brows raised. "I think it's fun," she said. "Can you walk properly now?" Gavin always intervenes with the two of th
Chapter 73A family"How can you not tell us that you're engaged?" Leo asked, following Larisa inside right after the fight. She was still sweating as they were pouring her all their questions. Gabe was being interrogated by the others as well. "It's our plan," Larisa uttered and shook her head. "I'm happy for you," Noah said as he smiled softly to her. He never saw Larisa this happy since they were kids. She never smiles so wide like this. That was when he knew how happy she was with Gabe Clyborne. Turning her back to her own clan was the best decision she made. "Why didn't you tell me that you're coming?" She asked as they went inside the house. "Oh, I just snuck out. Did you have a fight with that man?" Noah asked, talking about Gavin who was being assisted by David and Estevan after she stabbed his arm. "Yeah. He challenged me, don't worry about him." She replied and chuckled."That's Gavin Clyborne. I'm sure that he will suspect you, but don't mind him." Leo said as he gave
Chapter 74Didn't want it"B*llsh*t!" The furniture flew on the television, which destroyed it. They just all heard the spreading news about the engagement of Gabe and Larisa. Many people are now thinking that they tied the knot with the Clyborne. The rage inside Lucinda was bursting as she thought of it. Until now, she couldn't believe that her huge alas betrayed her this much. "She's getting married?" Gabriel said and cackled as they were all absorbing it in their heads. "It will be an advantage. But if we are planning to erase the Clyborne and steal everything they have, the Mafia world will mark us as the bigger traitors in this world. No one would ever want to have a relationship with us," Yna discussed as she sighed with the problem. Lucinda was catching her breathing, trying to calm herself. "You took care of a big snake," Gabe added, pissing her off even more. "Shut your fvcking mouth, Gabriel! I might forget that you're still a Valestine," Lucinda said firmly, pointing
Chapter 75Different"Y-You didn't want it…I-I trust you,""I broke your trust," Noah replied, crying a river with his shivering hands. His world is collapsing, to know that it was Larisa that he stabbed and not Amber. It crumples him like a paper to see Larisa right in front of him, covered with blood all because of him. From that moment, there's only one thing that he feels vividly. He was so scared. "D-Don't cry," she crumpled her hand that was blocking the blood coming out from her waist as she tried to breathe. "It's okay," she added and forced a small smile on her lips. "Larisa!" Her eyes quickly went to Gabe walking towards them with huge steps. Behind him was Gavin, Estevan, Leo, and his parents coming with him. But then, it was not them that caught her eyes but the men of Clyborne who were pointing their guns to Noah. And there was David, ready to pull the trigger of the gun and kill Noah Valestine. Her eyes widened as she glanced at Noah for a second. "DAVID, NO!" She y
Chapter 76Take me in"Uncle will probably be looking for you now," Larisa uttered after they both cried earlier. "I know. They are definitely fuming mad because I didn't stab Amber," he replied, anticipating what can happen. Larisa took a deep breath. "I am not forcing you to do this, Noah. But remember, you can have your own freedom by turning your back to them.""Larisa," Gabe entered the room and called her. He simply nodded to Noah when their eyes met. "I brought food," he added and put it down on the side table. Looking at Gabe who acts like nothing happened makes him feel ashamed of himself even more. Larisa smiled at Noah. "The decision is all yours. Remember, you're always welcome." She then held his hand before they both left him alone in the room. "If you need anything, don't hesitate to tell us. We're only next door," Gabe said as they left."The doctor told me that you can be discharged tomorrow. Thankfully, your wounds are not that bad." Gabe mentioned while he was
