Chapter 23Hate"Amara Gabriel hasn't been found yet?" Larisa uttered while watching the news with her husband, Gabe. He quickly put down the iPad that he was holding and turned his eyes on the television. "That's her fiancé," Gabe said. "I met him twice." Larisa's brows raised and nodded. Well, something's wrong with this. Her guts tells her that there is still a hidden story behind the plane crash. "That red haired girl is Amethyst Gabriel, her cousin." Estevan muttered as he arrived again in their house with his hands hiding in his pockets. "The wedding should have happened by now if she didn't go missing, right?" Larisa asked and looked at the two Clyborne that were with her. "Yeah. Everything's ready, I heard." Gabe said and came back scrolling on the iPad as he took a heavy breath. "Something feels wrong," Larisa mentioned. Both of their eyes went at her. Well, they know her. Her guts have never been wrong."What do you mean?" Estevan asked."I don't think that there was a
Chapter 24Behind the fightGavin was on his bed, drinking alcohol. His hands were crumpled like a paper while Luna's questions were pouring in his head. It's already evening and he hasn't been able to come out of his room anymore since he last encountered Luna downstairs. "Fvck," he cursed out loud as he threw the glass on the ground furiously. He even slammed his broad and tough chest with his heart aching like it was being torn inside. Luna has no idea how much he wanted to do what Misty told him to do. She has no idea about what she feels and how he hates himself for hurting her like that. But how is she supposed to understand him? She will only understand him if he reveals the truth. And he knows that he can't do that yet. "B*llsh*t!" He shouted angrily and started to punch the wall with his bare fist, ignoring the pain and the wound that it would leave. He was punching the wall as if it was a soft thing. The blood was already painted on his fist. But nothing hurts more about
Chapter 25Sleepover"Did you find our daughter?" His wife asked while lying on the hospital bed. She lost weight since Amara went missing after the plane crash. She was too feeble to even leave this hospital room as she can't bear all the news about her daughter. Her pain and worries were eating her up and she couldn't handle any stress anymore."Not yet," her husband replied with that tiny bitter smile on his lips. Even he lost weight when Amara went missing. He could not even eat how delicious the food was. It feels like he doesn't have any appetite. It can see from his face how frustrated and exhausted he is as well. "Did you tell them our decision?" She asked with her weak voice. He nodded. They both don't want to give her up. But they are aware that they also have to tighten their clan, especially now that they lost one of their gems. All their enemies will probably target them and erase them from this Mafia world. "They were upset," he uttered and cackled. "I don't want to
Chapter 26Confused Luna's eyes quickly explored the room. She didn't know that the rooms here are big. It's already like an apartment. There is a small kitchen, a living room that is already big for one person and one room. Her lips parted while staring at all the details of the room. Gavin indeed chose a great architect. "The rooms here are for a person only. The rooms in other buildings here are for the number of people," Clyde mentioned when Luna looks amused. It's her first time going inside the villas. "My husband is indeed a businessman," she uttered with a glimpse of bitterness. Behind that businessman who can multiply the money is a man who cannot admit what he really feels. "Tell me, what happened this time?" Clyde asked and took a short breath. She won't come here out of the blue without a reason. Looking at her, it seems like she wants to escape for a moment."The same thing," Luna said and avoided his eyes. "He's treating me like a wind," she added with pain. "Why di
Chapter 27Not your wife"Why do you always fight? You said he's your friend. You guys are acting like enemies," Martin said while shaking his head. There was Clyde, wiping the blood that Gavin left on his face. "That jerk almost killed me," he said and shook his head as well. It was the second time that he saw Gavin angry like a beast. The first time was when they were in college. "Here, treat yourself." Martin said and left the first aid kid on the table. "Luna should not sleep here in the first place," Liza mentioned and took a short breath. "Any husband will get mad if their wife sleeps in the house of another man." She added with frustration. "Tell me, Clyde. Do you like Luna?" Martin asked straightforwardly. Clyde paused from wiping the blood on his face. Is it not obvious? He's been taking the risk by catching her when she's falling to a man that's not him. "I guess you do," Martin concluded when Clyde was just silent and could not answer that simple question. "Misty," L
Chapter 28Divorce"Tell me," he uttered. "Is Luna really your wife?" Clyde smirked. "Or she is not really your wife?" Misty's lips parted with that question. But then, Gavin remained staring at him even though he knows that Clyde already knows the truth that he has been hiding. "Leave us alone, Misty." Gavin ordered her, who was stunned with what Clyde just asked. She knew from that moment that Clyde already discovered the truth. "Yes, sir." She replied and looked away from Clyde. Gavin only waited Misty to leave the garden before he faced Clyde. "Don't you want to know what my real life is, Clyde?" He asked. Of course, he must begin with everything so he can understand why he's helping Luna."Just tell me the truth, everything." He said. Gavin simply smirked and walked a bit far from him, facing the flowers and plants in the garden. "I'm a Mafia Boss," he said. Clyde took a few seconds before he processed what Clyde just told him. "Mafia Boss?" He asked. He only heard that i
Chapter 29I don't care"Rio, until when will you be like that?" Her mother asked when he saw him again on the floor of his room with a lot of alcohol bottles around him. He looks devastated; a total mess. His eyes were blank while the tears were falling slowly. He could not stop thinking of Amara. "What if she's suffering alone? What if she's trying to survive?" He asked with anxiousness and pain. "You will put our clan in danger! If our enemies see that you are becoming weak, they will target us, not just the Gabriels!" Her mother exclaimed hysterically, making him pull himself together. "You are the heir of this clan. You have to do something and not just find Amara," his father said as he took a heavy breath and began to massage his head with frustration. "Your fiance has a lot of enemies. I'm sure that one of them did this to her," her mother mentioned, which captured his eyes. "I will find whoever it is," he said firmly while holding the bottle so tight. "Until when, huh?
Chapter 30Trust"What do we do now?" Agatha asked while she was driving. Amethyst was on the passenger seat. Now, they are going back to Amara's house after talking with their parents."We don't have a choice," Amethyst uttered and shut her eyes from frustration. "They already decided. What else can we do about that?" Agatha commented and flashed a small smirk. "We have to do our best to find Amara as soon as possible. I get their point why they have to do this. If not, we will all die." She blew out a short breath as she looked at Agatha. Her eyes were only focused on the way."Amara is the strongest in our clan. Everyone fears our clan because of her. Now that she's gone, they will take this chance to attack us." Agatha mentioned. "Don't worry. We just have to be al—""That black car is following us," Agatha said as her eyes went to the side mirror of the car. She thought it was only a coincidence, but no. That black car was really following them. "What?" Amethyst now checked t

Epilogue End of war“Until when are we going to stay here?” Amber asked weakly. They were all tired and hopeless. The darkness was locking them inside that unknown abandoned place. They could not even see their faces vividly in the extreme darkness. “Until they come,” Estevan replied. His head finally stopped from bleeding. “I will fvcking kill them,” Amethyst said firmly while they were all sitting on the floor. “I can't believe we were all caught,” Larisa uttered and smirked unbelievably. “I wonder if Gavin and Amara know that we are here,” Gabe mentioned.“Don't worry. I was able to call them before someone hit my head. Amara probably knew that they took me,” she explained and breathed with frustration. “This place was secured well. There's no hole where we can escape,” Agatha uttered. She has been trying to see beyond the darkness since earlier. “It seems like Rio and Cassandra vanished from our sight to plan this,” Gabe chuckled bitterly. “Someone's coming,” Amethyst said
Chapter 111Taken “Is he still not answering?” Estevan asked Amber. She has been trying to call Gabe since earlier when they went to Larisa's shop and saw the situation. But then, up until now, he didn't answer.“Yeah. I don't know what he's doing,” Amber said and shut her eyes emphatically. They were all in the hospital now as they brought Leo who almost died.“Fvcking hell,” Estevan swore. He wanted to hurt somebody so hard at that point.“Why is he not answering? His wife was kidnapped!” He took a deep sigh and began to walk relentlessly. He didn't know what to do anymore. He's the only one who's there among all the men.Two of them were missing. Amara's father and Larisa. “Think of it,” Amethyst mumbled while contemplating. “They took the most important person in Amara's life and they took the one that your clan treasures right now, which is Larisa because she's pregnant.” Amethyst explained, gathering her thoughts. “It happened to me during Larisa's war. I was attacked,” Amber
Chapter 110Missing “Hey, make sure that no one will come inside aside from the Gabriels and the Clybornes.” The man said as they switched to the others in front of the gate. His duty is already done and it's time for them to do their job. The men nodded at him immediately. But then, they were not even turning their backs when they both dropped on the floor, bleeding a lot. The two men were about to defend and find who shot the two when they were shot as well. There was no noise made as they used a silencer. In just a snap of fingers, they were all down, dead with a shot on their foreheads. “Hi, wife.” Amara's father said while he was eyeing the sky in front of his balcony. A huge smile couldn't be hidden from his face. He looks happier now. “Our princess, she's so happy.” Hjs voice almost broke as his eyes began to water. He began to look away as he took a deep breath. “I have nothing to ask for, hon. Amara is happy, and I know that Gavin will take care of her well even without
Chapter 109Getting even“Who's that?” Cassandra asked after hearing the man's voice on Rio's phone. The call was on the loudspeaker. Rio quickly ended the call as he faced Cassandra.“This is what you want right?” He asked and hid his hands inside his pockets.“To get even,” he added and appreciated the warm wind embracing their skins. “Are you telling me that you did something now?” Cassandra asked and went closer to him. Rio remained silent as he closed his eyes gently.“What did you do, Rio?” She asked again when Rio ignored her first question earlier.“Rio!” She exclaimed, which made him open his eyes. He took a deep sigh and faced Amara. “Why do you always ask, Cassandra? Can't you just keep your fvcking mouth shut?” His eyes were sharp and angry. Cassandra felt scared for a moment. She really doesn't know who he is anymore. “I have to know, Rio! Why are you not telling me your plan? I'm your girlfriend, Rio!” She was indeed throwing a fit over it.“Shut up,” Rio uttered firm
Chapter 108Honeymoon“Have you seen this?” Cassandra asked, still wearing a white wardrobe. She almost slammed the newspaper on the table, showing Rio the news all over the world. Rio was currently enjoying his coffee on the balcony when Cassandra suddenly disturbed him. His eyes slowly went on the newspaper and saw the news that they both didn't like. He remained calm as he looked away and came back looking at the sky. “What?” Cassandra chuckled unbelievably with annoyance from her eyes when Rio remained calm as if seeing that news was alright for him.“Gavin and Amara just got married again. They are fvcking enjoying while we are here, hidi—”“Didn't I tell you that we are not hiding?” He asked and glanced at him again. His eyes were blank and cold. “Then what are we going to do? Stay here? Wait for them to have a happily ever after?” Cassandra chuckled while shaking her head. She even combed her hair with her hands. “I'm fvcking tired of staying away from their shadows, Rio! W
Chapter 107SealedGavin and Amara didn't waste any time to make their wedding happen for the second time. The invitation was made immediately and sent to all their friends in the Mafia world. “You know what, we were the happiest when sir Gavin called us and invited us to your wedding again.” Misty mentioned while the woman was putting make-up on her beautiful and small face. Misty and Clyde both went home immediately as soon as they heard about the wedding. Everyone is excited, especially their clans. “I wasn't expecting Gavin to ask me to get married again,” she uttered with a broad smile on her face. “We didn't expect it either. I mean, the battle is not yet done.” She shrugged and kept her small smile. Rio and Cassandra were still in silence. Up until now, no one sees their shadows. “I don't know where they are. But for now, I want to forget about them and enjoy our wedding.” She said and took a deep sigh. Even though it's their second wedding, it still makes her feel excited
Chapter 106Marry againDays and weeks have passed right after the last news about the Blaze, especially Rio and Cassandra. After his father's death, they vanished like a bubble. Their clan remained silent, trying to establish a new business and start again. Rio and Cassandra were not seen and no one knows where they are, not even their own clans. Everyone was wondering where the two went. Did they vanish and run away from the war they started with Amara? Are they both done? Did they surrender? Where are they? What are they planning? Those are the questions that were playing in everyone's head. “Where do you think they are?” Estevan asked them while they were at Gavin and Amara's house. Gabe and Larisa were not there. Gavin’s house is their new place to gather. “No idea,” Amber replied and shrugged. “I was thinking about it too. After the funeral, I didn't hear anything from them. They are not even attacking me,” Amara uttered and took a deep sigh. “We can't let our guard down ye
Chapter 105No mercy “Have you seen the news?” Agatha asked Amethyst while she was busy driving. They were on their way to meet Amara and Gavin after the incident that happened to them again. “How can I see the news? I'm driving,” Amethyst replied and chuckled. “Rio's father took his own life,” she announced with her eyes surprised. “What?” Amethyst glanced at her immediately. She was distracted while driving because of that news. “It's all over the news now,” Agatha said. They were both in shock regarding the sudden news. “Amara must know,” Amethyst said, exactly when they arrived at their mansion. There were already a few cars parked inside. The Clybornes are probably here as well. “I was busy in the meeting when you called. My phone was silent,” Gabe explained to Larisa as she brought up what happened. “I was sleeping when you called me, Larisa.” Estevan quickly explained. Larisa was just glaring her eyes at the two of them. “That's enough. It already happened. Let's just b
