Author's NoteHello, clarixians! First, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude for all of you for staying up until here. As you know, this book is near the end. I have published new stories here on GoodNovel and I am hoping that you guys can support me as well. I promise to do my best in writing every chapter of the books that I will write. Moreover, I wrote this message to apologize for not being able to update for today. My cousin just died recently and my entire family is grieving. I wasn't able to update today because we are doing a lot of things here and I am really distracted. Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Thank you for your understanding. Your Author,itsclarixass
Chapter 96Fear“G-Gavin,” Amara's voice was firm. She was trying her best not to melt and show her weakness while her hands were already filled with blood as she blocked the wound of Gavin on his chest. It was where Rio stabbed him. Her eyes watered immediately while eyeing Gavin who managed to give her that soft little smile. It breaks her. Why does he have to always show her that smile just to make sure that she won't worry about anything?“I-I'm fine,” he uttered and paused as he shut his eyes emphatically. “D-Don’t cry, please.” He begged when he saw that Amara was about to cry.“Cassandra!” All their men pointed their guns at Amara Gabriel and the Clybornes. However, the Clybornes and the Gabriels quickly blocked Gavin and Amara from them, protecting the two of them. Larisa was in front, pointing the gun at Cassandra's mother. While Amethyst in the middle, pointing the gun at Rio Blaze who was also pointing his gun at her. “Your clan was the one who attacked us first,” Amethy
Chapter 97Burn in fire“Amara!” Misty exclaimed deafeningly when she answered the video call. Her eyes almost vanished when she smiled the widest. “How are you doing, huh?” Clyde asked over the phone. He was behind Misty and looking at their background, it seems like they are at the restaurant. Clyde was still wearing the uniform of the chefs.“I'm fine, we're fine here. What about the two of you? How is it on the island?” Amara asked. Gavin was inside the comfort room. Estevan was outside to assist him. “We're doing fine. It's kinda busy here and I'm trying not to put a lot of work to sir Gavin,” Misty explained. She doesn't look tired or busy in her face. She actually looks happier right now. It makes her think that maybe something big is happening between her and Clyde. “By the way, where are you?” Clyde asked and changed the topic. He just cut the how-are-you asking. Her lips parted. She couldn't answer them immediately. Well, she told them that they are fine there and yet th
Chapter 98We're evenThe firefighters are already surrounding the mansion of the Blaze. Almost all their neighbors are around, watching their mansion turn into ashes. The huge fire destroyed their home. They could not remember how beautiful this mansion was. “Stay here, stay here!” Rio exclaimed to Cassandra when he quickly got out of his car. Cassandra forced him to let her come after she found out what just happened. Fear could not be hidden from Rio's eyes. His face was filled with it as he ran towards their house.“Excuse me! Move!” He exclaimed madly and pushed all the people who were blocking his way. As soon as his feet stopped in front of their huge gate that was opened, their burning house in massive flames greeted him immediately. The firefighters are still trying to stop it, but then it seems impossible to stop. The fire was turning their mansion into ashes. His world turned into ashes as well with what he can see right now. There was his father, kneeling on the ground w
Chapter 99Expose“Stop it!” Cassandra quickly pushed Amara away. Gabe and Estevan also went behind her and looked at them with their blank eyes. “Enjoy this moment, Amara…” Cassandra said and went back eyeing her. She crumpled her hands as she remained her eyes at Amara. “Who knows? Maybe the next day, you'll be the one who will cry again.” She tried to threaten her but Amara just chuckled until she laughed like a crazy woman. She was indeed mocking them. “Same old song,” she commented and even shed tears from her eyes from laughing, not scared of them. It was the funniest joke that she had ever heard. She breathed heavily and drew a small smile on her lips as she eyed Cassandra. “You should be the one to get ready, Cassandra.” She muttered closely in front of her. Her smile became tender even more. “Who knows? You might be my next target,” she added. “Take them out. If they resist, kill them. It will make my life easier,” Amara clearly ordered their men. None of them dared to
Chapter 100FuneralCassandra had no choice but to ask the doctor to discharge her from the hospital. It was hard to convince them as they know that her wound still needs some treatment. However, she has to do it because of the problems that are piling up. They are not even done in saving their businesses and yet another problem arised. “Is Rio there?” She asked the lady in the front desk as she arrived at the building of Rio's condo. Well, they lost their home from the arson that Amara committed. “Oh, Rio Blaze?” She asked.“Yeah,”The woman stopped and eyed her with those suspicious eyes of her. She was definitely wondering about her relation to Rio. Cassandra almost forgot that it was her first time going there.“I'm his girlfriend,” she uttered after reading what the lady was thinking. Her brows crossed even more as she looked at her.“But I know his fiancé. It's not yo—”“They broke up,” she said and cut her out. She's starting to lose her patience with this woman. “Is he here
Chapter 101Exposing them“Where's Dad?” Rio asked their one maid who made it until here. He has to fire all their maids as their mansion is already gone. Aside from that, they have no money to give them all their salaries. “He's inside the room. He doesn't want to eat again,” the maid said in distress and shook her head.“Just clean the condo,” he said and stole the tray of food from her. Yes, they now live in this condo. Their mansion is gone. Their maids are fired. His mother is gone. Their business is gone. And now, here they are, living in his condo. Rio headed to his room, which he gave to his father. There is only one room in his condo and they are both sharing a single room. His father sleeps on the bed while he takes the couch. Their maid is sleeping in the living room. They used to have a lot of rooms in their mansion, and now, they only have one room for them. “Dad,” he called when he saw his father lying on the bed while staring into nothing. When he went inside, that
Chapter 102The buyer“Oh, d*mn it.” Gabe cursed while they were all browsing on their phone. The video that Estevan posted flew around the whole world in just one minute. He couldn't even erase his broad smile while reading all the comments. Estevan Clyborne is indeed the evil among them. “Goodness,” Amber commented and turned off her phone. She couldn't take that video. “How can they even go out now?” Gavin asked and shook his head with a smirk. Amara was just staring into nothing, thinking deeply. “You ruined them, Amara. Their company is bankrupt, they lost a life and their mansion. And now, their scandal is exposed.” Larisa summarized everything that she did for her revenge. “I’m thinking of what they could do next. Rio and Cassandra won't just sit forever,” Amara uttered as her finger lingered on her chin. “Don't think hard. They will probably kill you,” Gabe mentioned. All their eyes shifted at him and he simply shrugged at them.“If I am your enemy, that would be the onl

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
