Chapter 48Amara's mother"Sir," one of their men stopped him from going inside the hospital as he arrived back."What's the matter?" He asked as his eyes roamed around. The people were all down. The nurses were crying and some of them were trembling as if they were shocked about something. He eyed back their men who were suddenly here. None of them can even look straight in his eyes."What the hell happened?" He asked with the fear that could not be hidden from his eyes. His chest began to pound heavily. "Sir," the man in front of him burst into tears. He could not eye him. "Tell me," he said in his coldest voice. "Y-Your wife," he uttered as his voice broke. It seems like his remaining strength suddenly left his body. He wanted to crumple on the ground already as he felt weak. But then, he managed to run swiftly inside the hospital, not minding the people who were around the hospital room of his wife. As soon as his feet stopped in front of her room with the door wide open, his
Chapter 49Rage"Her mother is dead and she has no idea about it," Misty muttered while staring into nothing. Clyde eyed her before he shook his head. They were both in his restaurant with a lot of tourists eating around. Misty has been anxious since Gavin told them about what happened yesterday."It's better for her now. If she finds out about it, she will be in danger. Gavin is the one who's been catching her and sacrificing a lot from the very beginning," Clyde discussed and blew out a short frustrated breath."But still, it's her mother." Misty frowned, tired of thinking. "This is the best for her," Clyde said. "She was killed with one shot on her forehead, Gavin." Estevan said on the phone. Gavin was walking repeatedly in the garden while figuring out what is the best thing to do. "We have to find out which clan is attacking them. It can't be different from the clan from the other attacks they encountered," he discussed as he bit his lower lip a bit. "It's becoming bloody. Am
Chapter 50 Next plan"We will go there together," Gabe said on the phone while Larisa was still preparing. "What? Are you crazy?" Gavin quickly asked. Clyde, who was with him, stopped cooking. Gavin has been there, spending his time in his kitchen."The last time I checked, we're still in our right minds. We're going to imply that we are with them," Gabe explained over the phone. Gavin shut his eyes emphatically while Clyde was looking at him, changing his expression each time. "They might think differently, Gabe. What if they suspect us even more?" Gavin began to walk repeatedly now. Clyde noticed that he always does that every time he's stressed or frustrated about something. "Chill, Gavin, we got this. Just make sure that your woman is fine there," Gabe answered and chuckled. Gavin became silent for a moment as he took a deep breath."Update me," he uttered, having no choice. "What is it again?" Clyde asked while busy chopping the vegetables."Gabe is going to the funeral," he
Chapter 51Face off"Where's Uncle?" Amethyst asked Agatha who was upstairs. Her eyes went where Agatha was looking. There was their Uncle, staring into nothing while the tears from his eyes never stopped from falling. The picture frame of Amara's mother was on the table. Who would have thought that this would actually happen to their family?Amethyst blew out a short breath. "I don't think he will get over this," Agatha uttered in distress. They could not help but to pity him. He was always a good man to his wife and to his daughter. They used to witness a huge and tender smile from his lips before. His laughter that used to fill their ears. Right now, all of that vanishes. The tender smile on his lips was erased and his deafening laughter became a loud cry as he mourned for his loss."I should talk to him," Agatha said and went downstairs, leaving Amethyst alone. She has been comforting him since his wife died. "Uncle," Agatha called. It seems like he didn't hear her as he didn't
Chapter 52Search"We finally met," Amethyst said as they both accepted his hand.Their hands were together just like how they didn't move their eyes away from each other. Amethyst cannot read his eyes and so Gavin was. They were both building a huge wall to hide each other's secrets. "You refused to search your island the last time we sent our men here," Agatha brought up. Gavin glanced at the man behind them, and he remembered who that man was. He was the one who went here and tried to search the island."It's because your men came here as if they own the world. I find it really disrespectful. You should not skip the formality," he drew that wide smile on his lips. But in Amethyst's eyes, it was a sly smile. "What kind of formality do you want? That's why we're here to ask for your permission," Amethyst said firmly, trying to read through his eyes."We have a letter," Agatha raised the piece of paper before handing it to him. He paused but didn't look away from them. "I'll go to M
Chapter 53Tattoo"I told you, the person you were looking for is not here." He said with a sly smile as he walked them out of the island. Some of the tourists were already looking at them. How can't they? They are all wearing black. Their faces were all fierce as well. "We just have to make sure of everything," Amethyst answered blankly as she faced him again. "I want to understand why Gabe and Larisa went to us, telling us that your clan is not our enemy." She mentioned. Gavin can see through her eyes how confused she is. They were probably thinking why they suddenly did it when all the clans around them were cutting ties with them. The Clybornes, one of the powerful clans, made a connection with them beyond the chaos they were in. "We've experienced what you're experiencing," Gavin replied. "I'm sure you know how Larisa and Gabe had been through before getting their happy ending. We just want to help," Agatha knew that they would not just offer help. Why would they drag themsel
Chapter 54Nobody"Good thing it's not a bullet now," Amethyst smirked right after they cleaned her new wound from the fight they had earlier. "Should I feel better?" Agatha asked unbelievably. Her entire body was filled with wounds and bruises since the attacks started. All this time, they thought that all the clans around them were attacking them. But it seems like they just all distanced themselves from them and left them standing alone. "What if it's the Clybornes?" Agatha asked and eyed Amethyst. "Think of it, they suddenly want to connect with us." Amethyst took a deep sigh before she laid her eyes at Agatha. She sounded so stressed from everything. "I'm pretty sure that the Clybornes has a good motive why they are doing this. But I'm also sure that they are not the clan who was attacking us from the very beginning," her instincts were vivid. "Who might it be?" Agatha shut her eyes emphatically as she followed it with a heavy breath out of distress. "There are a lot of cla
Chapter 55Red hairThe sun was not yet rising in the sky. Luna was already out, walking alone at the shore. She enjoys watching the water soak her feet in every movement of the ocean. It was cold. The wind was embracing her gently beyond its coldness. There were already some fishermen that she could see in the ocean, catching fishes. The restaurants were already open. "They are all hard working," she murmured and smiled as she took a heavy breath. At the end, her feet stopped and her eyes were already waiting for the sun. She has a lot of thoughts that are still bothering her. Just like the people that she remembered. Luna knows their faces but not their names and who they are in her past life. But then, by what she remembered, it seems like they are near to her heart. Every morning is a different thought for her. "Have you seen Luna?" Gavin asked Misty who was just on her way to the restaurant. "That's her," Misty answered and pointed to Luna near the shore, standing in front o

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
