Chapter 35Opening"Today's the opening?" David asked Larisa while scrolling the news about Gavin's island beach resort."Hidden Beach Resort?" Estevan read aloud. "It's a weird name," Larisa said. They were all scrolling on their phones and reading all the news about his beach resort's opening today."But it was a blast. They are already fully booked," David mentioned aloud with amusement."Yeah. That's why I have to shift a lot of baked bread there," Larisa uttered and chuckled. Gavin was really something."Among us, that jerk is the most expert one when it comes to business. All his businesses were always like this," Gabe mentioned and chuckled unbelievably. "So, you're leaving later?" David asked."Yeah. We'll find out what he's hiding there," Estevan said. "Maybe that's the reason why he named it 'hidden'," Larisa muttered while thinking about it. "Because he's hiding something there?" Estevan asked."Not something, it's someone." Gabe corrected his words and chuckled."Welco
Chapter 36Amara Gabriel"Holy sh*t," Luna commented while still chewing the bread that she ate from the bakery of Larisa. Gavin chuckled while watching her eat. They were both in charge of the bakery since all the people were busy on the island. Today is the second day of their beach resort. The people were having a lot of fun around. "This is the best bread I ever tasted," she commented with her eyes widened along with amusement to the bread that Larisa baked."I told you, Luna is the best baker for us. Her cake shop won't succeed just because of our influence, it's also because of the quality of everything that she bakes." Gavin mentioned confidently while enjoying the walnut cake he ordered. There are also a lot of tourists who are visiting the shop, especially in the morning. "I really want to meet them," Luna uttered. The wide smile on his lips faded when she said that. She has no idea how much he wanted to introduce her to their entire clan. But as of now, he has to hide her
Chapter 37MarryLuna was confused. The three people in front of her were looking at her as if they had seen a ghost. Misty was biting her lips and didn't know what to do anymore now that they already saw her here. Gavin was behind his cousins, chasing his breath and lost his hope when he saw them already staring at Luna. "What the hell?" Gabe asked and confronted him with an unbelievable smirk on his lips after absorbing that it was Amara Gabriel. Larisa was the second one who looked behind and faced Gavin who didn't know how to explain everything to them. "I knew it," she muttered and took a deep breath with frustration. This is why he didn't want to tell them about her."Fvcking hell," Estevan cursed again and chuckled as he took a few steps, still trying to process what was happening."Let me explain," he muttered and shut his eyes emphatically. Everything is already a huge mess. "Who are they, Gavin?" Luna intervened behind them with confusion. Her eyes were filled with tons o
Chapter 38Pure Heart"Kimchi?" Estevan said while looking at the kimchi that was served along with the other food. "Korean food, huh?" He added with a smirk. "Where's Larisa?" Gavin asked when he hadn't seen her around."Morning sickness," Gabe said and took a heavy sigh. He has been frustrated and worried every morning. Larisa has been throwing up and she always feels nauseous because of her pregnancy."Morning sickness?" Gavin repeated with his brows crossed. Estevan quickly laughed when he remembered that Gavin doesn't know about her pregnancy yet."Larisa is pregnant," Estevan uttered, wearing that massive smile. "What? No way," he commented in surprise and eyed Gabe who couldn't stop that tiny smile from his lips. "Fvck!" He exclaimed unbelievably with that priceless reaction. "You're a father now, dude!" He even punched Gabe lightly on his arm while shaking his head. "You're the only one who's not a father here yet," Estevan mentioned, which made his smile fade and glared a
Chapter 39Different man"There's no one here, Ms. Agatha." The man said, chasing his breath when they searched the entire island. It was a small island that was near to the ocean where the plane exactly crashed. But then, there was no one there. Amara was not there again."Fvck," she cursed and threw her sunglasses on the sand and sat witn exhaustion on the sand. The ocean was calm. Their people were still searching around the island. They have been searching for how many days. Even Amethyst was doing the same. "Search the place for the last time," Agatha ordered their men before they all moved again and searched the place. She's already tired. She never knew that finding is harder than hiding. "Where are you, Amara?" She mumbled as she eyed the sky above. "Please hold on there," she added and shut her eyes for a moment. They will never give up until they find her. "Ms. Agatha, there's really no one here." The man said again. Agatha blew out a short breath and shut her eyes in dis
Chapter 40Cheating"I saw myself kissing another man…a different man," Luna said with her weak voice. They both stopped what they were doing. Gavin froze for a moment and started to think about it. The only man that she would kiss before was Rio Blaze, her fiancé. From that moment, reality slapped Gavin again. He only stole Amara from that man named Rio. This woman whom he's in love with actually belongs to another man that ain't him. Luna became silent that she could not eye Gavin. They were both apart and facing different parts of the room. She suddenly felt weak not just because of that short time pain she felt from her head as that little memory flashed in her head. It's because it was a different man that she kissed and not Gavin. Then again, she remembered how Gavin couldn't fall in love with her before. How he avoids her and how he was cold towards her. It feels like even though her memories are not coming back yet, she can already solve the puzzle. Did she cheated before?
Chapter 41Choice"What happened?!" Amara's mother ran towards them as soon as they all arrived back to their mansion. "Call our doctor!" Her father yelled aloud to their men. Amethyst and Cassandra were bleeding from the shot they got from the attack. They were both enduring the pain from it, feeling a bullet inside their flesh."We were attacked on our way here," Agatha explained shortly and took an anxious sigh for Cassandra and Amethyst. "You should stop searching for Luns by yourselves. Just let our men do that, it's dangerous. We cannot lose one of you anymore after what happened to my daughter," Amara's father said with worries as the doctor just arrived. "Please take care of them," Agatha said and allowed him to treat Cassandra and Amethyst.She then eyed Amara's parents to continue their interrupted conversation. "We will continue finding her with our men. If you guys want to give her up, Amethyst and I won't do that even if it takes us forever to find her," Agatha said s
Chapter 42Accident"Gavin," Luna called. He was still sleeping at peace and yet she was already bothering him. It's just 5:30 in the morning but Luna got awake all of a sudden. Gavin didn't move, not even a bit when she called him."Gavin," she said, louder than earlier and even shook his arms to wake him up. Luna took a deep sigh and was thinking of what she could do to wake him up. "Gavin," she called for the third time. Her brows raised when Gavin just moved a bit but his eyes remained closed. She began to plant kisses all over his face and down to his neck. Luna could not help but to wear that playful smile on her lips while pouring him a lot of kisses to wake him up. "Wake up," she said, urging him to wake up and open her eyes. "Hmmm," Gavin smiled with his eyes closed, feeling all her kisses endlessly. "Come on," she said and laughed. "Gavin!" She exclaimed when he suddenly pushed her back on the bed gently. Now, he's on top of her with their faces close to each other. H

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
