Chapter 9The Chef"So this will be the seafood house and the sushi house?" Misty asked while discussing all the matters with Gavin. "Yes. The Chefs and their teams are coming to operate the restaurant. I was thinking if we can also add a bar and a restaurant where all the famous dishes of different countries are present," Gavin explained while looking at all the planned buildings by the Architect and Engineer. "I think you should add a steakhouse," Luna suggested as she went downstairs. Both of them were captured on her arrival. "Foreigners loved steak," she added and sat with them in the living room. "I'm on the same page," Misty said while nodding slowly with that idea of hers. "Let's add one then," Gavin said and agreed. "So, I will ask the maids to prepare a feast for the arrival of those Chefs?" Misty asked, asking for a confirmation. "Yeah. Tell them not to be pressured just because it will be chefs who are gonna eat their food," Gavin mentioned and chuckled. "Noted," Mi
Chapter 10Piercing "This is Chef Martin and Chef Liza. These are the people who will be with us. We're many, I know right." The Chef named Clyde said as he introduced the people who were with him. The Chef named Martin looks like a teenager while the Chef named Liza looks like a newbie in this field. "I'm Gavin Clyborne," he introduced and forced a smile. The stare of Chef Clyde at Luna didn't escape his eyes. Good thing, Luna was only smiling at Chef Liza. Without any hesitation, he grabbed her hand, which surprised Luna a bit. Her eyes went at him and then to their hands. "This is my wife, Luns Franco." He Finally introduced to cut that glance from Clyde. "What?" Clyde asked immediately. His lips parted as his eyes widened. He looked at Gavin and Luna with surprise. It seems like he was in awe and could not believe that Luna is actually taken, not just that, she's married. "When did you get married?" Clyde asked in surprise as he eyed Clyde. "I didn't invite a lot," Gavin rep
Chapter 11Wedding ring"Hey, Gavin." Luna called and stopped from walking. Gavin let go of her hand. She was only facing his back and Gavin seemed to be calming himself down. He shut his eyes emphatically and breathed heavily. "Is there a problem there? I left because I don't think I was needed there," she uttered with her brows crossed. Gavin turned around and finally faced her. But this time, she knew that something was strange about him. His eyes looked cold and she could see how much he was trying to control himself. "Why were you touching his lip?" He asked as he secretly crumpled his hands. Her brows crossed even more. "I was not touching his lip," she replied. "I saw it, Luna." Gavin said firmly."I was touching the piercing on his lip but not his lips," she explained. Gavin froze for a moment and tilted his head. "You should not do that," he said with frustration. Even if she was only touching the piercing on his lip, it was still not good. "Why?" Luna asked."Just don
Chapter 12Ring "What was that?" Luna asked Gavin on their way back to the mansion. She pulled her hand from his grip and eyed him with confusion. She just doesn't understand why he is acting strange. It seems like he's always pissed at Clyde. Gavin took a heavy deep breath before he faced her. He was like this as well yesterday. "I mean, I don't know why you're suddenly being like that." Luna said. "I don't know either," he uttered. "I don't know anymore." He added before turning his back, leaving Luna alone there. "What do I feel when I'm jealous?" Estevan asked. He was obviously inside the room of his child as he could hear Amber playing with their baby. "Yes," Gavin answered."You're surprising me with all your questions these past few days," Estevan said with suspicion, but could not help but to wonder."Just answer me," he said with irritation. Since Clyde arrived on the island, he's always anxious. He always feels annoyed, especially when he sees him with Luna."Well," he
Chapter 13AmnesiaLuna could not stop from smiling. They are already eating breakfast with Gavin. But then, she was too distracted and captivated by the beauty of the diamond on her ring. It was shining in her eyes as if the diamond was smiling at her. "Do you love it so much?" Gavin asked. He cannot feign ignorance when he can see how Luna smiles from ear to ear while keeping her eyes on the ring while eating. "I do," she uttered while still looking at it. "What's the design of our ring before?" She finally looked at him, filled with curiosity. Gavin froze. He was lost for words for a moment. Well, reality hits him again. They are not married and this is just a lie. "It's an infinity ring," Gavin then flashed a soft smile before moving his eyes away. "Really? That's also beautiful," she commented and brought her eyes back to her ring. Gavin stopped and focused his eyes at Luna or should he say, Amara Gabriel. He never knows her. He only knows Amara as the Mafia boss who uses h
Chapter 14Doubtful"You have amnesia?" He asked in surprise. His face was priceless. Clyde could not absorb easily what Luna just revealed to him. He never thought that she was in that condition. But right now, he understands why there are some happenings that confused him about Luna. It's because she lost her memories. "I was on my way to my parents when it happened. My parents sold me to the Clybornes in exchange of our debts to them," Luna explained. Clyde could not take his eyes off her. It's because she doesn't even look affected by it. She looks just fine. "How did they find you?" Clyde asked with his curiosity, eating him up. "It's funny, but the waves brought me back here." Luna said and chuckled. "Maybe Gavin and I were really tied to each other that even if I go far away, the world will do everything to make me come back to him." Luna chuckled with that thought. But then, not for Clyde. It makes him think and doubt it for a moment. "Who told you that information if you
Chapter 15Jealousy"Are you really married to her? Is she really your wife?" Their eyes remained to each other. Gavin didn't even blink and kept his cold stares at Clyde. His hands crumpled like a piece of paper. If he has a huge secret that he is trying to cover now, that is the truth that Amara Gabriel is not his wife and they have no relationship towards each other. They are complete strangers who live in the same world. The oceans brought her to her and now, he already involved himself in the mess that she is in. "We are married," he replied and chuckled. Clyde has always been like this. He notices things easily when the people around them don't. That's why they always compete because of this. "What makes you think that we are not?" He asked back, wearing a small smirk on the side of his lips. "I know you well, Gavin." Clyde said and finally looked away from his eyes. He took a heavy breath as he lit his cigarette and began to mix the smoke in the air. "You've been acting
Chapter 16Sound of memories"So, are you jealous?" Misty asked right after she just had her dinner with Gavin. She's now here on the balcony with Misty who's not coming home yet. She was only staring into nothing while her mind was invaded by Gavin. It turns out that Larisa is married to his cousin. They were just close and yet she thought of her maliciously about the relationship they have. She's kinda guilty about it. Am I jealous? She asked herself in her head. Or should she ask, did she act jealous because of Larisa? "Maybe," Luna said, unsure of what she feels. What she only knows is that this is driving her crazy. "Have you figured out why sir Gavin was being like that?" Misty asked another question that is also messing with her mind. "I asked him if he's jealous, but he didn't answer me." Her brows raised while thinking of it. Did Gavin just escape her question? She didn't even notice it. "What about you? What do you think?" Misty was enjoying the show. She could not eve

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
