~Gabriel~

Amanda was quiet when she heard my words.After Andrew told me whatever she went through,I felt so horrible with myself.

I know “sorry” was not enough but I felt the need to apologise.If Amanda was able to go through all that and now she's doing alright,I can say that she's such a strong woman.

Amanda heaved a deep sigh then turned to look at me,”I don't want to talk about the past, Gabriel.”She said and I nodded in understanding.

“Thank you for the jacket,”She handed me the jacket,”Please excuse me,I will go to check on Ariana.”She forced a smile on her lips then turned around and walked away.

I watched Amanda as she walked away.She didn't bother to turn back to look at me and for some unknown reason,my heart ached inside my chest.

I wished I could hold her hand so that she wouldn't walk away from me.However,I didn't know how to do it because I knew we would end up fighting.

I still looked in the direction whe

There are some details that don’t add up. I have to think twice to know who or what she’s talking about.

    ~Amanda~My daughter's question caught me off guard.My lips curved into a smile when I looked at her innocent face.She was demanding some answers from me.I nodded.“Of course I miss him too.”Her lips curved into a smile and I could tell that she was happy to know that I missed Gabriel just the same way that she missed him.My heart melted when I saw my daughter's smiling face once again and I pulled her into a tight hug and rubbed her back soothingly.“Don't worry,Uncle Gabriel will come back to us,he promised.”I assured my daughter so that she doesn't feel sad anymore.Even though I didn't want to admit it out loud,the truth is…I missed Gabriel and I hated every single feeling of it.I don't have any idea what the hell was happening to me!I was supposed to be happy that Gab was not around because that is what I have always wanted,to be far away from him.However,I couldn't understand why his absence affected me so much.It made me feel a void deep in

    ~Amanda~I arranged the paperwork that I had just finished to work on and a deep breath escaped my lips.I collapsed on the highly backed chair and closed my sore eyes.Since it's on Friday,I had a lot of paperwork to take care of because I didn't want to leave pending work.I spent the entire day my ass stuck on the chair and my eyes glued on white sheets.Lucia asked if she could visit but I told her that I was so busy and my schedule is fixed.Thanks to the heavens tomorrow is on Saturday,I will rest and regain the energy.I turned my head to look through the window,the sun was setting in the West and it only meant one thing,it was time to go back to Crescent Moon pack and the idea made me excited because I missed Ariana so much.There was a knock on the door and I granted whoever was knocking the permission to enter.Andrew walked in with some papers in his arms.“Oh heavens,don't tell me that there is more paperwork to take care of.”I grumbled.“I think

    ~Amanda~Ariana hurriedly climbed down from the bed and rushed to Gabriel who received her with open arms.He planted kisses on her face and my daughter couldn't stop giggling, obviously happy to see her uncle again.My lips curved into a smile because it was a sight to behold.Ariana cling onto him so tightly as though she was afraid that he would disappear into thin air.“Did your favourite uncle?”He playfully asked and my daughter nodded almost immediately.“Yes,I missed you so much, uncle Gab.”Gabriel’s lips curved into a broad smile when he heard my daughter's genuine voice.“Uncle Gabriel missed you too,so much.”He kissed her on the forehead.“I brought you something.''Ariana's eyes brightened,”Really?''She asked in excitement and Gab nodded.He bent over slightly and picked the shopping bag that he had placed on the ground then gave it to Ariana.“Thank you so much,uncle Gab.”Ariana received the present with a smile.“Mommy missed you too,uncle Ga

    ~Amanda~I woke up very early in the morning and began to work on the papers after taking a quick shower.Ariana was still sleeping,my mother was already awake and so was everyone.I raised my head when someone placed the coffee on the table.“I think it will help,”Gabriel said with a smile.Only the heavens knew how much I needed the cup of coffee at the moment.I was too busy to go to the kitchen to prepare myself a cup of coffee when I woke up, thanks to the heavens Gabriel thought of making one.“Thank you so much,I really need it.”I said with a broad smile, picked the cup of coffee and sipped.I momentarily closed my eyes to savour the taste.It was strong just the way I liked and the sugar was right,not too much or too little.It was just prepared to perfection…Gabriel looked at the papers on the table,”I can help you with the paperwork if you allow me.”He shrugged nonchalantly.I looked at the papers and a wave of exhaustion washed over me.It was

    ~Amanda~“What the hell is going on,Amanda?”Andrew asked with creased eyebrows.”He's going to join the male modelling team.We need his help,Andrew.”I said in a calm and composed voice.I asked my secretary to show Gabriel where other male models were so that he can get ready with others.Andrew laughed as though that was the funniest joke of the year.“Are you really serious?Does he even know how to model or pause?”He asked and I could tell that he found it funny.“I taught him the basics yesterday.I’m confident that he won't let me down.He’s a quick learner.You have no idea how many hours I spent teaching him.”Andrew looked at me as though I had grown a second head.“I know the two of you don't get along really well but,can you keep your differences aside for a few hours until the event ends?We need him, Andrew.''He heaved a deep sigh.“I just hope that he doesn't screw up everything that we worked hard for.”He said through gritted teeth.“Amand

    ~Amanda~Gabriel was wearing a well tailored casual suit and it fitted him perfectly,as though it was made specifically for him.His long dark hair fell over his shoulders and it was wet, perhaps they sprinkled water on it so that it could look sexy with the hair stylist and…I have to admit that she did a good job because the magic worked,it made Gabriel look more hot.I don't want to be mean, Gabriel is handsome.He’s about 6 3’ tall, masculine and has sharp features.Those pair of grey eyes topped up his sexiness.He's every girl's dream.Well, except me because he crushed all the dreams that we had and only left me with nightmares.His walk down the runway was smooth and confident. I could tell that he learned everything that I taught him by heart.The lady on his left side was beautiful as well.She was wearing a backless white dress which hugged her arse and every curve of her body.“That is Gabriel

    ~Amanda~Of all the things that I expected from Gabriel,I never thought that he would still bear the tattoo of my name on his chest.I thought that he had added more letters or altered the tattoo so that it could read someone else's name or a name of a place.I demanded some answers from him because all this new realisation didn't make any sense to me.It was quiet for a while inside the study room,even a pin drop could be heard.Gabriel walked towards me and I subconsciously stepped back.However,my dream of escape was short lived when my back collided with the bookshelves and I didn't have anywhere else to run to.Gab towered before me since he was taller than me.His shoulder length hair was hanging free and it was messy, evident that he had run his fingers through it a few times.His cologne hit my nose, reminding me of the old days,how he used to smell like whenever I kissed his bare skin while we

    ~Amanda~I felt as though time was moving in slow motion.My hand trembled, almost dropping the cellphoneThe last moment that I had with my daughter replayed in my head.She was so happy and she looked so healthy.I shook my head in denial, refusing to accept what Mr. Tony had just told me.Tears flowed from my eyes uncontrollably.“No! No!This can't be!It can't be my Ariana.”I mumbled, breathing in difficulty.”Please tell me it's not true.Maybe you’re mistaken,my daughter was okay in the morning.We even talked and laughed.Please tell me this is some sort of prank.”I pleaded, wiping tears from my eyes using the back of my hand.It was quiet for a while on the other end of the call and that only made me anxious.I heard him heavy a deep sigh.“I'm sorry but it's the truth,Mrs. Amanda.You need to make it to the hospital quickly because the doctor is asking for Ariana's parents.We are at Jason's Hospital.”The little hope that I had left crushed

    AMANDA Oh heavens!It was finally happening!He finally popped the question!I nodded my head almost immediately,”Yes, Gabriel.I will marry you!”The tension on his face faded away and it was now replaced with a big smile.He heaved a deep sigh.I didn't know he was that nervous while asking the question.Gabriel picked the ring and grabbed my hand then slowly slid the engagement ring on the middle finger of my left hand.The ring felt cold against my finger and it fitted perfectly,as though it was made just for me.Gabriel stood up and wiped tears from my eyes, that's when I realised that I was shading tears of joy.“I can't wait to call you wifey…”He chuckled then leaned and kissed me.“Mine!”He said possessively in my head as he kissed me so deep,”I can't wait to be your wife.”I told him through the mind link and he groaned in response.We continued to kiss so passionately.Gabriel hoisted me and I wrapped my legs around his waist so tightly.He gave my arse a gentle squeeze and I let ou

    ~Amanda~THREE WEEKS LATER Gabriel recovered from the poison and now he is doing alright.He is back to training to get back his strength because the poison weakened his immune system.I have been training too so that in case the enemies attack the pack,I will be able to protect our daughter and future kids.I haven't gone to the company for the past three weeks.Andrew has been in charge of everything and he always informed me how was running in my absence.I have to say that I'm grateful for having Andrew as a working partner because he is amazing to work with.Andrew has closed a couple of deals in my absence and handled the company so well.I’m not that surprised because his parents were entrepreneurs too.Apart from having shares in our company,Andrew owns other businesses which were left under his name by his parents.I was surprised when Andrew visited Crescent Moon to check on Gabriel and wished him a quick recovery.As far as I could remember,the two didn't get along that well.I

    Chapter 103~Gabriel~”“For what?”She asked in confusion,”For everything.”The frown on her face only deepened when she heard my words.“I know I owe you an apology because Amanda went through alot in the past because of me.”I paused and took a deep breath.“I can't help it but feel guilty because you're treating me with love despite knowing the truth.''I bowed my head once again.I couldn't remember when was the last time I felt this way in my life.I felt as though I had committed an unforgiving crime.I wanted Amanda's mother,I mean our mother, to know that I was really sorry about what happened between Amanda and I in the past.“I swear I didn't have any idea that Amanda was pregnant when we parted ways in such a heartbreaking way back in campus.I tried looking for her so that I could explain everything to her but all my efforts to search for Amanda was in vain.I searched the whole of

    ~Amanda~Gabriel pulled back and pretended as though he didn't want to kiss me in the first place.I almost groaned but looking at our daughter's cute innocent face made my lips curve into a smile.“Mommy!”Our daughter screamed at the top of her voice and I could feel the longing in her voice.She ran to us and jumped on the bed, giggling.“Careful dear,”I whispered as we hugged so tightly.My mother stared at us with a smile, Gabriel as well.“Did you miss mommy?”I asked my daughter after pulling off from the tight embrace and she nodded with a pout.“Yes,you lied that you'll come back.”I swallowed when I heard my daughter's words,”Mommy is so sorry for lying to you, okay? It's just that,I got a little busy.”I brushed hair strands from her face and tucked it behind her ear.“Grandma told me that you're taking care of uncle Gabriel because he got hurt,”She turned to look at Gabriel and I could see worry

    ~Amanda~“Ga…Gabriel,”I stuttered, afraid that I might be dreaming.The corner of his lips curved into a smile.The smile that I have been craving to see on his face so bad.Gabriel wiped tears from my eyes and that is when I realised that I was crying.Damn it!Only the heavens knows how much I had missed his touches that sent a shiver down my spine.My eyes shuttered effortlessly and I leaned in to feel more of his touch.Just this once,I decided to let all my emotions get the better of me and more tears streamed down my cheeks.Gabriel growled and that made me open my eyes,”I don't like to see you crying,”He said and I could feel the annoyance in his voice.“But…I can't help it.”I said in almost a whisper but loud enough for him to hear what I had just said.“I was so scared, Gabriel.”I confessed how I was feeling deep inside me.“When you dropped on the ground in the study room.I was so scared that I was going t

Gabriel will kill me in case something happens to you.”I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I heard his words.“You're worrying too much,Leon.I think it will be good if you change,”I nodded to his blood stained clothes.“That's right,”He chuckled,”Call me in case of anything, okay?”He told me and I nodded.I could tell that Leon was really worried about Gabriel and I was glad to know that he had such a caring friend.The door clicked open and doctors walked out of the room,”How is he?”I asked one of them.“His body is responding r

    ~Amanda~Slowly,I turned around to find my mother standing at the door with a surprise look on her face.She looked at the sleeping Gabriel on the hospital bed then turned to look at me.“Is it true?”She asked and I could see so many unasked questions in her eyes.Taking a deep breath,I nodded hesitantly.“Ye…yes.”I said in almost a whisper but loud enough for my mother to hear what I had just said.“How?”She asked as confusion took over her features.”As far as I remember,you told us that you didn't know about Ariana's father because it was a one night stand and you never saw the man ever again since he was gone when you woke up.”I took a sharp breath when I heard my mother's words.I looked away, feeling guilty for lying to her all this time.“Can we talk about it somewhere else?I think this is not the right place.”My mother nodded to my words.I turned to look at Gabriel one last time t
