“Is she willing to go with you?” Ethan pursed his lips thoughtfully before he answered, hoping that Gabriel would help to put in a word for him. “That is another problem and the reason why I was waiting for you to come and talk to her.” “What exactly happened?” Gabriel asked, not comfortable with this strange thing. “Nothing. She is an interesting girl and I like her a lot. Look, I want to start something with her but she has never been in any relationship before so I want to take things slow but I don’t think that long distance would help. I want her by my side,” Ethan explained. He understood that Hannah was a special girl and was not like any girl he ever dated or married but Gabriel was concerned about his busy life in San Francisco since the only things that brought Ethan to him were heartbreaks. This was the only time that a joyful occasion brought them together. He was concerned for his best friend and wanted him to be happy but he was equally concerned for his special m
At the showroom, Doreen was attending to an early customer when a sophisticated woman walked in. One of the sales girls went to attend to her but she refused, saying, “I want her to attend to me,” Pointing at Doreen. A frown lined Doreen’s face, discerning that her day was not going to be good as soon as she saw the new customer, Dexter’s ex. Sue did not want anyone else except Doreen to attend to her which meant that she either wanted to have a talk with her or cause trouble for her. Doreen was ready for both. “She’s already attending to another customer,” the sales girl said to Sue, not wanting to miss out on the commission. Sales at the Scott Automobiles have been so booming and ninety percent of clients who walked in, walked out with a car of their choice or something better. Some also did not get what they wanted but something within their budget. “Then I will wait,” Sue insisted, going around and checking the cars in the showroom. She was patient enough to wait until D
Maeve smiled at the way Gabriel was handling the situation and the way Sue looked like a lost sheep wearing designer clothes. “You heard me and you slapped her first so, will you buy the car or should I press charges against you?” Gabriel asked coldly. He knew that Doreen must have slapped Sue because the latter slapped her first, knowing that Doreen would not be the first to release a slap.At the same time, a familiar person walked into the showroom. His presence gave Sue hope and she asked him, “Dexter, thank goodness you are here. Can you explain to Mr. Scott that it was just a misunderstanding?” She already guessed that Doreen had informed Dexter for which reason he was there, and put it that way but Dexter’s cold glare was on the same level with that of Gabriel, as Sue began to tremble from it. “A what?” Dexter snarled. “You slap my fiancé and call it a misunderstanding?” He asked calmly before turning to Gabriel, “Mr. Scott, are you pressing charges or should I do so?”
Maeve and Gabriel’s mother disappeared to the kitchen and Doreen followed later with the men chatting excitedly in the living room. This was the first time in years that Gabriel and his father sat together to chat with smiles and no worries. Also, their mother was the happiest they ever saw her. “Gabriel, I still can’t forgive myself for all the negative things I said about Maeve but you are also to blame. You should not have kept it from me,” his father said with remorse, Gabriel smiled and responded, “At that time, I didn’t even know that she would come back to me. I equally thought I had lost her but everything changed when she got drunk one night and confessed everything to me,” Gabriel recalled to his father’s delight and went on to say, “She didn’t remember the things she had said the next day but I already took advantage of everything and told her that I was not married. That was when she confessed everything and I told her I would wait for her to complete her revenge proc
At Cambridge Incorporated, Sandra and Dylan’s office, three hours after closing time. The embarrassment they faced in a company where they used to receive maximum respect was taunting. The promotion Sandra got, even felt undeserved and it earned her no respect, even from her Subordinates. Earlier that day Dylan and Sandra arrived at the office, surprised to receive an attitude, right from the underground car park, where they pulled over after their arrival. “The cheating couple have the guts to show their face in the office,” one of their subordinates said. Sandra was about to respond when Dylan stopped her, “It won’t stop. Let’s just endure it,” he said in a whisper. Remembering that they needed the money to escape, Sandra did not have a choice but to agree. Their lives were already terrible because of how their pictures and videos were still circulating on the media waves. This affected them badly in that, the sex they used to enjoy before, he did not even have the desire
Mr. Scott, Vincent is awake."The news was like icing on the cake due to how things had improved.Gabriel was close to nailing Dylan and Sandra, but Vincent’s testimony would extend their prison terms."Are you sure? Since when?" Gabriel asked, amazed by the news but cautious not to be too excited and get disappointed."A few minutes ago, sir," his informant said seriously. Gabriel's expression brightened, and Maeve wondered what was making him so happy.She had always seen him happy since their marriage, but this was suspicious, and she could not wait for him to end the call so she could ask what was making him so excited."Alright, keep an eye on him until he fully recovers. We will be needing him soon. If he needs anything, just let me know," Gabriel hid his excitement and spoke."Yes, sir," the man on the other side of the phone answered before Gabriel ended the call and lowered the phone."Gab, what's going on?" Maeve asked curiously. Gabriel smiled and said, "Vincent is awake."
Sandra froze, her face drained of color. She took deep breaths before finally facing Maeve, unable to make eye contact."Maeve, what are you talking about?" she forced a smile and tried to remain calm, even though she had been caught. All she wanted was to escape, even if it meant leaving the money behind. She knew Maeve was no longer as kind as she used to be.Maeve's generosity was now only directed towards her husband.The plans had failed, but Sandra couldn't help but remember everything Maeve had done to her, even in the hotel room before the wedding. She could sense that this confrontation was not going to end well.Maeve stood at the entrance, not bothering to close the distance between them. She couldn't trust Sandra and she didn't have her gun."The money you were transferring. I received a call from the bank," Maeve said calmly. Her expressionless face made her even scarier. Sandra couldn't guess how she was feeling or what she was thinking.As the realization sank in that
The next day, a helicopter landed on the helipad of a genuinely majestic and gigantic yacht. Gabriel had made prior arrangements for them to get to the yacht, which was docked at a marina, in order to avoid stressing his wife.He felt a little embarrassed remembering how her eyes widened when she saw the price of the yacht. However, he hoped that once she saw its features, she would understand that it was worth every cent he spent on it for her pleasure.Maeve was filled with excitement and eagerness to alight from the chopper, but Gabriel stopped her and blindfolded her with a silky blindfold."Gab, how am I supposed to alight with my eyes blindfolded?" Maeve frowned and asked. She didn't want to miss any part of the surprise, but Gabriel had his own plans."Don't worry. There's a special surprise waiting for you," he reassured her, holding her hand to guide her off the helicopter. However, Maeve refused to move an inch."I won't walk with my eyes covered," she insisted. Gabriel
