Chapter 99Shattering truth Estevan was still not waking up. It's been days since the planned accident happened. Amber never left the hospital even though the doctor already discharged her. Gavin and Larisa were not talking to each other right after the argument they had. She only goes to the hospital to deliver cupcakes and brownies for Amber, that's when she gets to see Estevan. "Are you mad at Gavin?" Gabe asked her while they were on their way to the hospital. "No," she replied coldly. Now, Gabe doesn't know what to believe. Her expression or her words. "He's not talking to me, so I won't talk to him as well." Gabe laughed immediately as soon as she added that. "Why are you laughing?" She asked, annoyed by him."You two look like kids," he replied while shaking his head. Well, they do like best friends who suddenly had a small fight. Their pride was eating them up that none of them wanted to do the first move and talk to each other. "I hate him," she uttered. "I understand h
Chapter 100Taste of her revenge"What?" His lips parted as his eyes widened in surprise. Gavin now looked at him and stood up with confusion. Based on Gabe's face, he could tell that something unexpected happened."What's going on?" Gavin asked when Gabe was in a hurry as he grabbed his coat and car keys."I have to go there," he said."Why? What's happening? Can you fvcking enlighten me?" Gavin asked while following Gabe who was taking his big step out of his office. "Yna is in her shop," Gabe mentioned while they were both in a hurry now. "What? Why would she go th—fvck, don't tell me she plans to reveal the truth?" His eyes widened immediately when he realized why Yna suddenly visited Larisa. "I don't mind if she tells it to her. But Larisa won't be fine about it," The elevator opened and saw Gabe's parents. Their brows met when they saw Gabe and Gavin who were about to leave. "Are you two leaving? We're just about to g—""We have no time, Mom." Gabe and Gavin quickly fitted
Chapter 101First plan"Think of it, why would Yna tell that to her?" Gavin uttered in front of Estevan who's still not awake. Beside him was Gabe and on the other side was Amber. All their eyes were locked at Estevan with everything that's running in their heads rent-free. "She's aware that they will be in danger if she tells her that," Amber added. "Maybe because she hates Lucinda," Gabe replied. That's the only reason that he could see why Yna suddenly revealed the truth by herself."But it was Yna, Lucinda and his husband and Gabriel who killed the Castellan that night, right?" Gavin asked, still not convinced with all the questions in his head. "Yeah. There was a rumor that Yna and Gabriel were the one who killed Larisa's mother in the operating room," Gabriel discussed. "How's Larisa?" Amber asked. She somehow felt bad for not being with her yesterday when she found out everything."I swear, this is dangerous. Those eyes of hers, it was filled with rage—it was so dark and de
Chapter 102An invitation of a war"What are you thinking?" Lucinda's husband asked when she was staring into nothing with a lot of things going in her mind. "A lot," she replied. "This is new. The Clybornes are being quiet," she uttered while pondering. "Estevan is in a coma and that is the same for Gabriel. We are all damaged," her husband explained as he began to pour alcohol in his glass. "I feel different," she said and blew out a heavy sigh. "Didn't you love Larisa?" That question from her husband made her freeze for a second. She couldn't answer as if her throat was blocked. It began to play in her head. Did she love her as her daughter or not?"Why are you asking such a ridiculous question?" She asked coldly, remaining tough as a stone. "She became our daughter, Lucinda. I know you're too hard, but you know in yourself that you treated her as our real child." He was trying to convince her, wake her up from the war that she's trying to win between her and her daughter. Eve
Chapter 103Shiver in fear"We should not attend," Lucinda's husband said as they were all present in Gabriel's hospital room. He just woke up and another problem welcomed him back. Lucinda was in front of the window with her mind flying somewhere else. She was thinking deeply about what they should do. "We are invited. I'm sure they won't attack us at the party," Yna said. It's because at that moment, she knew that Larisa had already bet her first card. "Are you crazy? It could be bait," Gabriel said annoyingly and shook his head to Yna."Can you stop talking to her like that? You will be alone here if we didn't stay here with you," Candice uttered and rolled her eyes to Gabriel. "Why would they suddenly throw a party?" Lucinda muttered as she stared at the invitation. "What are they planning?" She added. "There is one way to find out," Candice said. "And that is to attend the party." What are they up to? That's a big question in her mind. Lucinda blew out a heavy breath before
Chapter 104Mine"We're leaving," Lucinda said firmly with her blood boiling. Beyond her anger, she knows that they won't be able to start a fight here with all the Mafia bosses and different clans who are here. The people were talking about them, despising them as they all turned their backs, leaving the place. So this was Larisa's plan."Lucinda," Larisa called out loud, her voice almost echoing. Before they could even set foot outside the mansion, Larisa already restrained them. She was shivering in anger as she slowly pulled herself to confront Larisa Valestine, or should we say, Larisa Castellan."You had your show," she uttered. Larisa smirked, a sly smirk. With her cold and deadly eyes, she walked slowly towards her, crushing her with her stares. Lucinda didn't back down. She kept her eyes at her and refused to blink not even once. Eye to eye, teeth to teeth. A huge fire began to burn in the middle of them as they faced each other. "I'm just starting," she simply said, rem
Chapter 105Burn"You can't do this, Larisa! Stop them!" Lucinda shouted to all her men as the Clybornes men began to invade their place. Gabe, Gavin and Estevan were only watching, wearing their different smiles of satisfaction. "You can't go in—" David quickly shot the man before he could even finish his word. That made the Valestine freeze after hearing a gunshot from inside. David smirked and even blew the tip of his gun. "Who says that I can't?" He muttered before continuing his way inside."We obey her orders. Kill those who will be on the way!" David shouted to their men as they attacked the place. "What are you doing, Larisa?! This is against the law!" Candice exclaimed in front of her, panicking. She then captured Larisa's eyes and painted a smirk on her lips. With the papers from Yna's hand, she quickly stole it and almost slapped it on her face. "Don't you fvcking know how to read? The law is in my hands, Candice! Even if we go to court, you will never win against me."
Chapter 106For NoahGabriel was driving so fast that he could almost make his car fly. His eyes were fuming mad as he was holding the steering wheel tightly that he was so close to breaking it. As soon as he arrived at his restaurant, he quickly got out of his car. There are already a bunch of people who were watching the fire burn his restaurant while the firefighters are trying to stop it. "Do your fvcking job!" He cursed at the one firefighter when nothing's happening. "Fvck!" He cursed, losing it all. He felt feeble. His hands were trembling as his world was collapsing. They couldn't kill the fire anymore. The entire building was already burned. Just like his world, it was turning into ashes. "My restaurant," he uttered weakly as his knees dropped on the floor. All his strength suddenly vanished. He couldn't move anymore while watching the fire eat and destroy his restaurant. But then, it's not just that. All his businesses right now are getting burned. It all turned into ash
Epilogue"You look so beautiful," Gabe's mother said and held her hand. They are already inside the car, waiting. Gabe and the others were already inside the Cathedral Church. Larisa smiled the softest as his mother praised her. "Are you nervous?" She asked. Well, she could tell it by her face. "I am," she replied. Her heart was drumming heavily. It feels like she's a student who was being asked by her own teacher about a certain topic in the class. Her hands were cold. How is she gonna walk on the aisle? What should she do inside once she sets foot? She was indeed agitated and overthinking about many things. "You know what, every bride feels like that. But you know what you should just think of once you enter the church?" She asked with a lovely smile. "Remember how you met him. Remember how your story began. Remember all those happy memories that you've spent with him and remember how the two of you overcame all the problems that you encountered along the way," his mother look
Chapter 116A ring to foreverHer knees dropped on the ground and her eyes were glued at Lucinda's dead body, covered with her own blood. It's over. Everything's fine now. She got justice in her own hands for her family and for Noah. All of a sudden, she just felt feeble as if she was able to release all the rage. "Larisa!" It was David. The moment he sat foot inside the abandoned place, he saw the different blood of the Valestine around. And there was Lucinda Valestine in front of Larisa, lifeless. The gun from his hand fell from his grip. He quickly ran towards Larisa who was bent in her knees. "Are you okay?" He asked. She didn't speak. Only a tiny smirk drew on her lips. "I killed them," she uttered. "But even if I do, I cannot still see my parents…my family that they killed," she mentioned with bitterness and pain. "David," Gabe called. "Leo," he simply said. He quickly stood up and ran towards them a bit far from Larisa. "Hey, you okay?" David asked Leo. "I am," he utte
Chapter 115Final card"We have to figure out where the hell they are hiding them," Gabe uttered with so much frustration. Well, all of them are frustrated. Larisa kept walking repeatedly while trying to ponder a lot. Estevan was talking with the IT men. While Gabe and Gavin were talking about where they could possibly bring his parents. "There's nothing in the car. They didn't leave anything that we can use to track them," Estevan said as he took a heavy breath. "B*llsh*t," Gabe cursed, was near to hit the wall with his fist. "Where could they possibly bring them?" Larisa mumbled to herself while walking endlessly, thinking of all the places that the Valestine used to do their transactions. "Can you stop? You look like Gabe when he's anxious," Gavin commented, annoyed by her. "Shut up. I'm trying to remember all the places that the Valestine used to use," she replied and continued walking there as if that was helping her to figure it out. "They are putting an end to this," Ambe
Chapter 114Put an end"Hmm, it tastes good." Gabe commented to the cake that Larisa baked."It's a new flavor," she replied. There was a huge smile on her lips while watching him. "What should I do? I only know how to bake. Would you be fine eating sweets everyday when we get married?" They both laughed with that thought. "I can cook, you don't have to worry." He said while shaking his head. Larisa looked at the time on her wrist watch. "You said your parents are on their way here, right?" She asked with her brows crossed. "Yeah. Dad told me that my Mom bought a lot of things for you," he mentioned. "What? She's spoiling me," Larisa commented unbelievably. She really treats her like her real daughter. "You know her. She really likes you," Gabe replied with a tiny smile before he stole a kiss from her soft lips."Where are they? They are taking too long," she uttered, and could not help but to wonder."Maybe it's just traffic. You know this country," he took a heavy breath as i
Chapter 113Evil to evil"She's all over the news now," Leo commented as they stopped working in the cake shop and watched the news. All the customers were also watching it, how Larisa Castellan took over the properties that actually belonged to her. "It's just a little revenge," David uttered as he stood up beside him. There was the Valestine, avoiding the cameras that were taking their photos. "I can't even go to the hospital and visit Amber, I'm too weak for that." Leo said and took a deep breath as he continued to serve the orders. "I heard she's not in good condition. One of the men told me that she almost died earlier, but she still fought hard to live." David discussed. Just like them, they are also worried. But all they can do is to wait and stand by until Larisa makes her move."Do you think Larisa really plans to kick them out that quick?" Leo asked while Bea and Nathan were busy. "Of course not. She probably just did it because of what happened to Amber," David replied,
Chapter 112The end is near"I can see myself to Estevan," Gabe uttered while Larisa and him were watching Estevan from the door. Since the incident happened, Estevan didn't leave his wife's side anymore. He stayed there beside her, talking to her while holding her hand and planted kisses on it. "I was actually delighted that you were the first person I always see when I woke up from those incidents we've been through before," Larisa uttered as she took a deep sigh along with a small soft smile that flashed on her lips. Gabe reached her hand and held it tightly. "I know what he feels, I've been there." He uttered with a small smile as he turned back his eyes at Estevan inside the room. "Do you know what I always felt during those days that I was waiting for you to wake up?" He asked and glanced at her. "I felt like my world was collapsing. It feels like I'm gonna lose my mind if I lose you," he replied with a weak smile. "You were scared," she said. Gabe simply nodded at her. "
Chapter 111Burning rageLarisa was walking repeatedly in front of the operating room as Amber was brought there after what happened to her. She could not calm her mind. A lot of what ifs are pouring in her head. She was still stained with Amber's blood but she never wants to leave her side. "Amber Clyborne, she's my wife. Where is she?" Her eyes were captured as soon as he heard Estevan's anxious and frightened voice as he asked the nurse about her wife."Larisa!" Gavin exclaimed aloud that his voice almost echoed in the hospital. Their eyes all went at her who was standing in front of the operating room, shivering. When her eyes found Gabe, the weakness that she has been holding back for Amber finally filled her out. "What happened?" Gavin asked immediately. But before Larisa could even answer him, Gabe quickly pulled her towards him and locked her in his arms. He knows—he knows those eyes of hers. He can tell just by looking at her eyes what she feels. That is how Gabe Clyborne
Chapter 110Interfered "Hey, Larisa. What's with you?" Estevan asked when Larisa was only staring into nothing while they were having a funny conversation together. She looks anxious. "Did Amber reply?" She asked. "No. Maybe she's still busy shopping," Estevan uttered. She washed her hands on her face in frustration. "Where's that mall?" Larisa asked. "The only mall here in this city," Gavin answered instead. Larisa quickly stood up and was about to leave them behind. "Where are you going?" Gabe asked. "I'll follow her," she said. "Hey, calm down. Nothing's going to happen. My men are with her," Estevan said, making her calm. But then, her instincts tell her something that is bothering her. "Estevan, your wife is pregnant. How can you be calm there? The Valestine can quickly kill your men!" She exclaimed with frustration. They all became silent, especially Estevan. Larisa took a heavy breath and cooled herself down. "This is a war. Among us, Amber is the only one who cannot
Chapter 109The most treasured Clyborne "Why don't you pull the trigger, Lucinda? Let's end each other here," Gavin uttered, provoking her. She kept her gun on her grip tightly, pointing it at Larisa. They were cornered. It was when she realized that Larisa anticipated it all. She was only waiting for them to come and she was too dumb to decide recklessly again. "We retrieve, Lucinda." Yna uttered, glaring at them. "I will wipe off that fvcking smile of yours," Candice said firmly before they slowly retrieve and leave her cake shop. Larisa watched them leave with a smirk. "You were right," Estevan said. "Lucinda will really attack," Amber said unbelievably. "I told you. I know how they think and how they move," she said and chuckled as she put down the gun at the counter. "They buried Gabriel today," Gavin mentioned. "Obviously," Gabe uttered as he took a deep breath."What do we do now?" Leo asked. Larisa looked at them as she became silent. "We wait," replied. "We have to
