Chapter Twenty Five - Real Love

Gabriella's POV

I returned home tired, as I pushed the front door open. I dumped the shopping bags on the floor and threw myself carelessly on the couch. I released a loud yawn and Alessandro Miguel suddenly popped up in my head. I recalled the tattoo of a scorpion imprinted on his wrist. Without hesitation, I fetched my phone out of my pocket and browsed on the internet what it meant if someone had a tattoo of a scorpion on his wrist.

Some images were displayed on my phone screen and even before I could read out the content behind the scorpion tattoo, someone already beat me to it. "It symbolizes the membership of a well-known dangerous gang known as the Gun fire men." A familiar deep voice rung out loud from behind.

I turned around to gaze at Lucian peaking into my phone. He had reading glasses on and a book clutched tight to his hands. I gazed back at the screen of my phone to confirm how true Lucian's words were. To my uttermost surprise, he was r

  • Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again    Chapter 26: Lies

    Chapter Twenty Six - LiesGabriella's POV After Lucian's confession, I could not help but feel awkward about all of it. He said he truly loved and cared for me but all of that felt surreal. It was possible for me to believe the part where he said he cared, but the part about love was too weird. Love is a strong word.I sighed heavily as I stared at myself in the standing mirror. It was finally the night of the party. I was elegantly dressed in a black sleeveless knee-length dress. My hair was packed into a neat bun and i applied simple yet classy makeup on my face. The plan was to impress. I took a spin in front of the mirror and smiled at myself, satisfied by my look. I grabbed a pair of black stilettoes and a silver purse to compliment the silver jewelry adorned on my neck. Without wasting anymore of Lucian's time, I made my way out of the room. I met him in the sitting room, dressed in a white fitted inner shirt and a pair of gray suit pants clad to his long legs. His black suit

  • Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again    Chapter 27: Doubts

    Chapter Twenty Seven - Doubts Lucian's POV Throughout the drive to the hotel, I could not stop sneaking glances at Gabriella. She looked extremely stunning tonight, almost like a goddess. I wanted to shower compliments on her, but I felt like she would feel really uncomfortable around me. Ever since I had accidentally confessed my feelings for her, I noticed that she sort of distanced herself away from me. Of course, I tried to understand that her reason was because she wanted to fully focus on her revenge plan, but I could not also shake off the feeling that she was becoming way too invested in this revenge plan, to the extent of getting herself involved with a gang as dangerous as the gunfire gang. I was afraid of her. Gabriella was stubborn. She never listened to anyone. Rather, she liked to learn from her mistakes. I wished she would just take it easy with her plan. Or perhaps was I exaggerating? Was it because I was jealous that she was getting closer to her ex again? I k

    Chapter Twenty Eight - Revenge PlanLucian's POV I am trying so hard to remind myself that Gabriella only did it because of her revenge plan, but I only sound like a fool. Was the kiss also part of her revenge plan? She could have done that without a kiss.I gulp a lump down my throat and gaze at George's wife. She has a smirk plastered on her face. She must be enjoying this, she must really like painting Gabriella as a bad person. I sighed heavily and rubbed the back of my neck. Did I even have the right to be jealous? It was just a contract marriage. She was still allowed to kiss whoever she liked as long as it was not in public."Thanks for this." I muttered. I attempted to walk away, but George's wife grabbed me by the wrist. I turned around to gaze at her with a raised brow, and she shrugged in response. "That is not all." She pointed out.My brows furrowed in confusion at her as I slowly loosened her grip on my wrist. What did she mean by that was not all? Did Gabriella go as f

    Chapter Twenty Nine - Mission Accomplished.Gabriella's POV I could not believe my eyes. Lucian had literally dumped me. I watched the black convertible drive off, into the dark streets. I stood outside the hotel, rubbing my shoulder. I suddenly remembered Lucian's kind gesture when he had handed me the suit jacket.I sighed heavily, feeling the hairs on my skin rise. This was the first time Lucian and I had ever gotten into a fight and, frankly speaking, it upset my stomach. Lucian was a good person. He knew how to tolerate things, maybe I had gone too far for him to have gotten this upset. I ran a hand through my hair in frustration and muttered a cuss under my breath. This was all Tami's fault. I was going to make Tami pay for it. She would regret the day she chose to meddle in my business. I clenched my fist tight and turned around, in an attempt to step back into the hotel. To my uttermost surprise, I saw George standing behind me. His arms were folded, and he had a confused l

All I needed to do was give it to James to help unlock it. With a satisfied smirk plastered on my face, I slowly pushed the front door open. I met Lucian pacing the room with his phone pressed close to his ears."I am so sorry Dave. I am so sorry man. I am sure she did not mean to act that way at all. You know how women can be when they are arguing with each other," Lucian said. He had not noticed my presence yet. I felt guilty though, once again, I had successfully ruined his night by embarrassing him in front of his friend. All because of my own selfish desires, I needed to start putting Lucian first."Send me your account number. I will make payments for whatever damage was caused," Lucian said. I did not do any damage; Tami did. If there is one person who should be paying, it should be George and

    Chapter Thirty-One - Sudden AccidentGabriella's POV The next morning, Lucian and I had woken up with a newfound trust in each other. We had a plan and that was to see James right after I would be back from work. I felt a bit ashamed to attend work after the shameful scene I had caused last night at Dave's party. I knew Tami was going to have her eyes out for me now. It meant double trouble."Are you sure you are going to be okay at work on your own?" Lucian asked, his tone laced with concern. I smiled at him and slowly nodded my head. I was not okay, but I refused to let Lucian feel pressured by own problem. I had to face Tami, myself, head on."I can handle myself." I flashed Lucian a reassuring smile. He insisted that he drive me to work and I agreed. The drive was full of I and Lucian talking about random stuff. I felt like our relationship had been upgraded to an entirely new level. We felt a lot more free around each other. I liked it so much.Lucian pulled the car into my work
