Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again Chapter 8: Jealousy
Chapter Eight - JealousyGabriella's POV"James, what do you mean by my parents are not who I really thought they were? Tell me, what did you find?" I asked. My voice was laced with curiosity and my heart raced extremely fast as I had not gotten a response from James."James, are you there?" I called out his name in haste as I felt chills rush down my spine.Fortunately for me, I heard James clear his voice over the phone before replying. "I am still here Gabriella, actually there are a lot of confusing things related to your parents but what I think is most essential in finding your brother is a feud that happened between Mr Victor, your father, and Mr Jude, your father's brother," James said.Uncle Jude, Dad, and Mum had spoken about Uncle Jude a few times, but it was never about anything remarkable. Most times it was just a funny memory and whenever I bothered to ask them where Uncle Jude was, Dad and Mum would just wave it off, Dad especially."So what was the feud all about? How

Chapter Nine - Surprise VisitGabriella's POV I stood with anger coursing through my veins as I watched the excited grin spread on Tami's face. She did not deserve to be happy, none of them did. At least not after what they had done to me.Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by loud cheering. I gasped in shock as I raised my head up to gaze at everyone in the conference room. I saw happiness written on all of their faces as they cheered and congratulated Tami. She did not deserve it! I sneaked a glance at George and I could sense how anxious he was.He chuckled nervously and he looked in my direction. Our eyes met for a brief moment before I eventually averted my gaze elsewhere."Thank you everyone. Thank you so much for the love that you showered me and my husband with. We really appreciate it." Tami smiled. She turned to gaze at me with a raised brow, her smile slowly fading away as she eyed me with disdain. I could tell that Tami was jealous of how close I was getting to George

Chapter Ten - Bad DayGabriella's POV The sound of the gunshot made me whimper in fear. I took a few steps backward and gulped a lump down my throat as I heard the clicking sound of the trigger behind me. I slowly raised my hand in the air in surrender as I carefully turned around to gaze at the culprit.Without him having to introduce himself, I could tell it was Uncle Jude, he stood a few inches taller than me with a pistol clutched tight to his hands and pointed at the direction of my head. It was so easy for me to tell that he was the one, he had similar features with my father, I could not help but see my father in him."Who are you?" Uncle Jude barked angrily. His eyebrows were furrowed in my direction and an impatient look was plastered on his face. I knew I could introduce myself with my real name, it was not like Uncle Jude knew what I looked like.I cleared my throat and replied in a low tone, my voice barely above a whisper. "Your niece," I said, swallowing the lump in my t

Chapter Eleven - Plotting EvilTami's POVGeorge and I strolled into the house. I watched him throw himself on the couch as he released a heavy sigh. I shut the door behind me and walked towards George. I sat on his lap and helped him loosen his tie. "You look so tired and stressed out from work, our baby is so going to be proud of the father you have become." I said with a genuine smile playing on my lips.To my uttermost surprise, George pushed me off his lap and rose to my feet, a huge scowl slowly grew on his face and I was scared for a brief moment, at least not until I realized the reason for his anger."What sort of stupid stunt is that, Tami?" George growled angrily. I gulped a lump down my throat, in a bid to defend myself. I rose to my feet as well and poured out my entire mind to him, with the hope that it would calm him down and erase all the resentment he showed towards me."Stunt? You were showing her so much attention, George! What was I supposed to do? Sit there and wa

Chapter Twelve - The Shocking BombGabriella's POV I stood by the door in utter surprise as I watched Lucian's mother's face turn into a huge frown. She eyed me in disdain and all the irritation written on her face was directed at me. My attention drifted back to the young woman that Victoria brought into the house. She sat close to Lucian and kept quiet."Gabriella, welcome back." Lucian said as he rose to his feet. I ignored his greeting, as I was not even in the mood to go back and forth with him at all. Today had already gotten ruined, the last thing I wanted to do was ruin it any further."Hello Mother. Who is she?" I asked, pointing at the lady. Victoria ignored me, she adjusted her posture on the couch and turned to the lady who was sitting close to Lucian earlier. "Imani, do not forget what we talked about and do not let anyone pressure you at all. If things get tough at all, call me okay." Victoria said, the way she spoke to this lady made me feel weird. Who would have thoug

Chapter Thirteen - The confrontation Tami's POV With anger, I stormed out of the room with my phone clutched tight to my hands. Once I was outside the room, I paused to release a heavy sigh as I felt anger course through my veins. I hated how George admired that woman. What was so special about her that made less interesting to him?My thoughts were interrupted by another beeping noise from my phone. I gazed at the screen and my eyes widened in shock at the content of Alessandro Migeul's text. Gabriella was married. She was married to a famous and wealthy doctor named Lucian.I felt relief wash over me and a smile crept on my face as I realized that George would not have a chance with Gabriella as long as she was married. I walked back into the room with excitement written all over my face. George was still lying on the bed with his phone clutched tight to his hands and his eyes glued on the screen. I bet he had not how wide the smile on his face was.I fought back the urge to wipe

Chapter Fourteen - OpportunityGabriella's POVI stood in front of Tami with anger boiling in me. How dared she acts angry because I was finally getting cozy with George? Had she forgotten that it was the exact same thing she did to me when I was still known as Keisha? How dared she act like the victim now? I fought back the urge to raise my voice at her so it would not seem like I was holding any past grudge.I forced a smile on my face instead and asked in a cool tone. "I do not understand what you are talking about Tami?" I pretended to act like I was in a loop. Tami's loud voice had already attracted the attention of a few people in the hallways. My plan was to act like the bigger person in order to humiliate her."Do you not have a husband?" Tami barked at me angrily. I nodded my head slowly and mouthed "Yes, I do.""The fo...." Just before Tami could complete her sentence, George appeared in the way. He stood in the middle of us and turned to gaze at me, flashing an apologetic s

Chapter Fifteen - Tough SpotGabriella's POV I watched a creepy smile settle on George's face. I clenched my fist tight and chuckled nervously as I waited anxiously for George's response. I hoped in my heart that he would not refuse the idea. I needed to get something out of him tonight. It was either now or never."You really want that? "I thought you were married?" George choked out a hysteric laughter. I smiled. I was going to tell him it was a contract marriage but not now. Instead, I replied "It is a long story, but trust me, my marriage is not out of love," I said.George nodded his head slowly. He looked like he was about to say something, but I beat him to it. "I understand if you and Tami are in love with each other. "I think I will just try to stay in my lane then." I said, my words were only a way to taunt him. To get him to say yes, and it worked because George rushed towards me and grabbed me by the wrist."Now that you have cleared the air. I was going to ask you to spe

Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again Chapter 33:Accident
Chapter Thirty-Three - Accident Gabriella's POV My heart begins to race extremely fast and my entire body fidgets in fear. Lucian? Accident? I felt chills run down my spine as I slowly processed the situation at hand. How was it possible? Lucian was a safe driver. How then had he gotten involved in an accident?I ran a hand through my hair in frustration, tears pricked from the corner of my eyes as I slowly began to pace the parking lot. "Gabriella, are you okay?" I heard a familiar feminine voice call my name from behind. I turned around to gaze at Anne slowly walking towards me.Once she had gotten closer to me, she noticed the tears in my eyes. "Oh my goodness, Gabriella. Tell me, what is the problem? Is everything okay with you?" She asked with a concerned look plastered on her face.I breathed a heavy sigh, my heart raced extremely fast, and I found it extremely hard to express myself. My mind began to imagine the worst experience. What kind of critical condition was Lucian in?
Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again Chapter 32-Lessons to be learned
Chapter Thirty-Two - Lessons To Be Learned.Tami's POVThat bitch was going to pay for what she did to me. How dared she? She allegedly spilled wine on my expensive white dress and, to make matters worse, she slapped me in the face. I scoffed loudly and began to pace the spacious living room. Not only did she do that, she successfully humiliated me in the eyes of others.That bitch was going to pay for her crimes! I could not help wondering how we were ever best friends in the first place. I hated her, I hated her guts, I hated every single thing about her and I wanted her to crumble so bad. I wanted to bring her down to the point that she would be on her knees begging for my forgiveness and then on that day, I would spit on her face and remind her of the night she humiliated me."Are you going to fucking explain yourself, Tami?" George roared angrily. He had a champagne glass clutched tight to his hand. He looked extremely furious, and it got me scared for a brief moment. My fear was
Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again Chapter 31: Sudden accident
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
Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again Chapter 30: Together
Chapter Thirty - Together.Gabriella's POV I got out of the cab and handed the cabman his money. I told him to keep the change. I was in an excellent mood. I finally had George's phone. 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
Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again Chapter 29: Mission accomplished
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
Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again Chapter 28: Revenge plan
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
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
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 25: Real love
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
