Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again Chapter 7:Family secret
Chapter Seven- Family SecretGabriella's POVSon? Gold digger? Those two words rang loudly in my ears. I took a few steps backward, staggered by the shock. I tried to put two and two together, but everything still felt confusing. I mean, of course, she was definitely Lucian's mother, just judging by her appearance, they looked so much alike. What I really wondered was what she was doing here and why she had tagged me as a gold digger.I managed to step fully into the living room, clutching my bag tight, my eyes never left Lucian's mother for once. His mother eyed me with so much disdain and disgust, that I felt like a complete fool in her eyes, and just as she seemed like she was about to bark another insult at me, Lucian appeared out of nowhere, a charming smile plastered on his face."Gabriella, you are home so soon. I thought you said you had a business dinner?" He raised a brow at me.I gulped a lump down my throat and waved that off immediately. "It has already ended," I said with

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

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: Lies
Chapter Twenty Seven - DoubtsLucian'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 knew her
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
Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again Chapter 24: Big role
Chapter Twenty Four - Big Role Gabriella's POVIt suddenly clicked to me that the guy I saw standing beside Tami was the same guy I saw in one of the printed pictures I saw in George's locker that day. Obviously, I could tell that the guy meant no good. The tattoos and several piercings on his face screamed dangerous. Now I could not help but wonder what kind of relationship Tami shared with this dangerous man. I raised my phone up to take a picture of Tami and the dangerous guy. I successfully took a picture of them, but unfortunately for me, the man caught me live and direct. I watched him tap Tami on the shoulder and point at me. I wanted to run but, unfortunately for me, Tami had already set her eyes on me.I muttered a cuss under my breath as Tami walked towards my direction with a huge scowl plastered on her face. I wanted to run, but I knew that if I acted out of impulse, it would only make Tami very suspicious of me. Instead, I stood my ground and tucked my to the right to g
Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again Chapter 23: Culprit
Chapter Twenty Three - Culprit Gabriella's POV George kissed me passionately, his hands roamed my waist, and he pressed his body against me. Honestly, I had thought kissing George would rekindle the old feelings I had for him in the past, which was why I had always been afraid of taking this bold step. Although kissing him right now made me realize one thing: I hated George. I resented him. Every bit of his presence disgusted me and just by hearing his name, I would want to squeeze his neck tight. I badly wanted to put him in his plan and I looked forward to the day that I would watch police officers drag George and throw him behind bars while I stood in front of his prison door with an accomplished smirk playing on my lips. I looked forward to watching him fall to his knees and plead for mercy. I wanted him to kiss my feet while I trampled on him. Our kiss was interrupted by a sudden bang on George's door, startling us both. We pulled away immediately, and I adjusted the hem
Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again Chapter 22: Game on
Chapter Twenty Two - Game On Gabriella's POV I covered my mouth in shock at myself. Had I been too blunt? The look on George's face changed into one of shock. I watched his eyes widen at me and his mouth hang open. His next action took me off guard. He pulled me by the wrist into his office and hastily locked the door behind him.I raised a brow at him. Did he actually need to do all of that? It was as if George could read the look on my face. He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly and pointed at the door. "If I had not taken you inside my office, then someone might have heard our conversation and passed it around work. Trust me, those kind of rumors are the worst..." He trailed off. I nodded my head slowly, although I was less concerned about what anyone else in the office thought of me."Oh and for the lock, I had to lock the door just in case Tami might try to barge in. I do not want her causing any unnecessary scenes here at work," George explained. I rolled my eyes at the un
Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again Chapter 21: Contract marriage
Chapter Twenty One - Contract Marriage Gabriella's POV "What do you mean by George has been looking for my brother? How is that even possible?" I asked. My brows furrowed at James in utter confusion. My heart began to race extremely fast and i felt fear wash over me. There was no way George was searching for my brother, for what reasons?James adjusted his posture on the chair. I watched his eyes roam the entire area as if trying to make sure no one was watching us nor eavesdropping on our conversation. James cleared his throat to reply. "Apparently, some of the documents you sent to me show that George desperately needs the signature of your brother to attain one of the properties owned by your family."I breathed out a heavy sigh of disappointment. I guess I had held too much hope, thinking that maybe George had finally decided that he wanted to change his bad ways and become a good person. I assumed that George's first step to changing was helping me find my brother, I assumed he
Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again Chapter 20: Secrets revealed
Chapter Twenty - Secrets Revealed Gabriella's POV "You and your husband. What kind to relationship do you both share?" George's question took me off guard. I pressed the phone tight to my ear and gulped a lump down my throat. My eyes darted toward Lucian's direction and it seemed like he might have heard George's question too. My heart began to race extremely fast, the most suspicious things had been happening lately, I reminded myself that I needed to be more careful."Gabriella? Are you still there?" George's voice jolted me out of my thoughts and back to reality. My ears were listening to George speak but my eyes were fixated on Lucian's face. He gazed at me with a puzzled look. I knew I owed him an instant explanation."Gabi, if---" I interrupted George immediately with a nervous chuckle. "I will call you later George, like I said I am a bit preoccupied right now. Let us talk later." Without waiting for George's reply, I hung up the call and placed my phone on the surface of the
