Prologue
Explosion"Where is she? Bring that fvcking b*tch to me!" The woman shouted. Her voice echoed in the place. She just attacked the hideout of the Gabriel clan all by herself.Going there alone was so brave of her. She was fuming mad, wanting to kill their Mafia boss. The rage inside her chest was sinking. She was holding two guns, facing the men who were all pointing their guns at her. One wrong move and she will eat bullets from them."Are you thinking?" One of the men asked with a chuckle.She knows, they were all thinking that she's losing her mind for going here."It seems like you're digging your grave," the man added with that sly smirk on his lips."Bring me your boss," she said firmly, wearing her deadly eyes.The sound of every footstep she made, wearing her boots, was filling the entire place. As soon as her men heard it, they automatically created a way for her. Their guns were still focused on the woman, not looking away from her as the woman she was looking for made her entrance, shouting the power she has.Along with those footsteps, the sword now blended with it as she began to draw the tip of the blade on the ground as she walked. Just by hearing that sword gives them chills.It was her, Amara Elayna Gabriel, the Mafia boss of the Gabriel's clan."Who uses swords nowadays?" The woman asked in her mocking voice as Amara stopped in front of her."Me?" She uttered with her blank space.With a simple glance to his men, all of them lowered their guns.Amara Gabriel. She is known as the greatest swordswoman in the Mafia world. The mafia boss who uses swords instead of guns or anything that a Mafia boss usually used; she's different from all of them and even more scary than them. With her swords, she ends a bunch of lives."What do you need from me?" She asked coldly."I need to kill you," the woman uttered and pointed her gun at her as if she was gonna scare her with that. "I will kill you," she added.Amara only smirked, paying her ignorance to her words."I admire your bravery for going here alone," she said as she took another step."Stop there," she said, warning her."You want to kill me? Go on," she said. "But make sure that you will be able to kill me," she added—a threat that will make her tremble."Because if not," she took more steps coming closer to her. In front of her two guns pointing at her, she smiled as if the guns were only a camera to her."I guess the Savedra clan will lose their heiress," she added and laughed like a devil."You fvcking b*tch!"Before the woman could even pull the trigger, she quickly swung her sword and in just a few seconds, her hands just dropped on the ground with the blood beginning to drip like water.She screamed with pain and fear as she lost her hands. Amara was only looking at the blood that painted the clear blade of her sword."Ms. Amara, your fiancée is here." The man whispered to her, ignoring the woman who was crying and making a noise after she sliced off her hands."I have a flight, clean this mess." She commanded and turned her back, finishing off the business in just a few minutes."Did she live?" Her man asked when she came out without any dirt from her hands."She lost her hands," she uttered when he opened the door for her."Lucky her," he commented and chuckled as he began to drive her."I have a flight so I have to make her live. But maybe she won't be able to use guns or anything now, right?" She asked with a laugh."She's known as one of the best in guns," he mentioned."Oh, Rio. With my sword, no one is good at anything." She uttered, wearing that sly smile without any conscience or guilt on her enticing face.Rio Blaze, her fiancée. Their wedding is just around the corner. If only she didn't have to do something for her business in Canada, they would probably be married right now."You have to call me or even just a simple message when you get there so I won't be worried, okay?" He said, reminding her to notify her once she gets there."Come on, Rio. It's not my first time leaving the country for a business," she said. "Even if the plane crashed, I won't die." She joked and chuckled."You're going to be my wife soon, I must make sure that you'll come back safe and sound." He said and now held her hands."Don't worry," she uttered and held back his hands. "I will always come back for you."After that small talk, she began to leave. As she was taking her step away from Rio, she stopped for a second and looked back at him. Rio smiled the widest and waved his hands at her. Amara smiled back before continuing her steps, leaving for a while.On the airplane, as it began to fly in the sky, she was only glancing at her picture with Rio on her phone. For some reason, she has this feeling that she will not be able to come back that fast to him. For some unknown reason, she feels like something bad will happen."I love you," she uttered while keeping her eyes on Rio on her phone.That moment, all she wants to happen is to finish her business in Canada and come back to finally tie the knot with Rio. Her heart will always shout for his name even how far she is from him."We have a problem!" The flight attendant exclaimed, enough for her to hear it loudly. Her brows crossed as she eyed them behind. They all looked problematic with something.But before he could even say something to the others again…The airplane just exploded.Chapter 1Ocean Waves"Hey, Rio. Did you drive my daughter to the airport?" Amara's father asked when Rio had just arrived at their house after driving Amara to the airport."Yes, I did. I guess I have to wait for two weeks before I finally marry her," he uttered with a bitter smile. Both of them sighed with his reaction. They all knew how the two of them wanted to marry each other as soon as possible. If only Amara doesn't need to do something in Canada, they are probably married by now. "Amara is also devastated that you have to wait," her mother spoke and blew out a heavy breath. "That's fine, I can wait. Besides, everything's ready. We just have to wait for the bri—""Uncle!" All their eyes were captured to the entrance of the red-haired Gabriel, Amethyst Gabriel. She was taking a huge step towards them, wearing that fierce face with a glimpse of worries from her eyes. "Amethyst. Is there something wrong?" Amara's father asked."You drove her to the airport, right?" Amethyst
Chapter 2Lost memories"Sir, she has a fever." Misty said while wiping the woman with the wet towel. She already has a comforter that was rolled in her entire body, but she's still shivering in the cold. Gavin also asked the maid to turn off the aircon for her. "That's normal. She was floating on the ocean with a lot of deep wounds," the old lady said while preparing everything to treat the woman."Are you sure that she can treat her?" Gavin asked. He never once met anyone who's not a doctor who knows how to treat an ill person. That's why he couldn't help but to doubt her capabilities."Sir, she's the only one we have here. There's no doctors or nurses near the island," Misty said while panicking."Whatever. Just make sure to treat her," he said and marched out of the room. "Sir, I can't be wrong. That woman is the one who's currently missing," the old man mentioned, the husband of the old lady who was treating her. Gavin quickly stopped when he said that. "She's all over the new
Chapter 3Double lies"Amethyst, have you found something?" Amara's mother asked immediately when Amethyst arrived at their place. The media are outside, asking for their words regarding what happened to Amara Gabriel. "I found nothing," she uttered in distress. They all have been frustrated. It's been two days since Amara vanished and the incident happened. In just a blink of an eye, Amara Gabriel went missing and none of them knows if she's dead or alive. "I've been searching. My men have no sleep," Agatha mentioned with her eyes closed filled with frustration."Our enemies will take this as an advantage to attack us," her father said while staring into nothing. "I need an update!" All of their eyes were captured when they heard Rio yelling at his men outside. The piece of crumpled newspaper dropped on the floor. Rio Blaze was devastated, losing it all. He has been looking for Amara and he couldn't even have a nap. "If you have to swim the ocean, do it! If you have to check eve
Chapter 4 Play with the fire"What are you talking about, sir?" Misty whispered in her lowest voice and blocked the woman in front of Gavin. "Just ride with it," he replied shortly and pulled her out of his sight. Now, his eyes dropped at Amara Gabriel who was really lost. She was staring into nothing with her brows crossed. He just found himself smirking as he watched her process that in her head. "H-How long have we been married?" She asked and forced a tiny smile. She was uncomfortable and Gavin could see it through her face. To be honest, his reckless decision also surprised him. He should not meddle in the first place with whatever mess Amara was in along with her clan. But the moment he looked at her earlier, with her enticing and dazzling innocent eyes at him, it felt like his mind suddenly flew in the air and made a very reckless decision. "You two have been married for a y—""Almost a year now," Gavin said. Her brows met even more. "Why didn't you go near me when I wo
Chapter 5DistantIt was early in the morning. The chirping of the bird woke up Luna or should we say, Amara. She slowly opened her eyes and blinked repeatedly. Her entire body still feels heavy like a huge stone that she could not move yet. The curtains were opened a bit to allow the sunshine to penetrate inside her room. The bright sun was hitting her on the bed but it didn't hurt her skin. Luna drew a small smile but it also faded from her lovely lips. She still feels lost. She woke up again feeling like her brain doesn't have anything. Luna finally sat on the bed. The mirror beside her greeted her by showing herself on it. It got her thinking, captured her eyes. Her eyes were glued at herself. Even how much she eyed herself, she still doesn't remember a thing about her. How she got married, and how she became like this. Even though they already told them everything, it still feels like a lot of things about her are missing. "Ah," she uttered and massaged her forehead when it su
Chapter 6Missing connectionGavin Clyborne. He looks kind and a soft-hearted man. Luna will never deny that her husband is handsome like a prince and hot as fvck. He can easily capture every woman's eyes just by walking without any intention of making them fall. The people on the island like him a lot. She kept hearing good words from them, especially how her husband plans to restore this beach resort that will also benefit all of them. He has that hairstyle like the usual haircut of the Korean people. His eyes were simple black eyes, but there is something from those that will make any woman tremble. His nose is perfectly shaped. It's pointed that every person will envy. Those lips were a bit thick that they could seduce every woman in just a second. "He's a businessman?" Luna asked Misty while she was telling her more about Gavin."Yes. Your husband doesn't just own this entire island. He has a lot of businesses in the country and even in other countries. The Clybornes are d*mn
Chapter 7DinnerThe weather was gloomy. There was no sunshine coming in from Luna's balcony. She was already awake and even done cleaning herself. But then, she was just sitting on the bed, trying to remember the memories that she lost while staring into nothing. Even though she tries to get back those memories, she was having a hard time. Especially that she's agitated because of her husband.She took a deep breath and shut her eyes. It took her a moment before she finally stood up and moved away from her bed to go out. She hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. Everything she said to Gavin is bothering her until now. It's not leaving her head. "Fvck," her feet automatically stopped and were glued on the floor when she heard that curse, early in the morning. Her eyes went at him and his eyes went at her. They were both stuck there, looking at each other awkwardly. Luna remembered what she said last night because of her hatred towards him. While Gavin was nervous and didn't know ho
Chapter 8 Thank youLuna can't take her eyes off Gavin who was eating in front of her. She could not even eat properly now that he is here all of a sudden. He suddenly changed in just a snap of her fingers as if something happened to him. It's not that she doesn't want it, she was just too stunned. "I might melt if you keep looking at me," he muttered, which made her look away and continued eating. "Sorry," she said and ate awkwardly. Gavin now glanced at her and watched her eat uncomfortably. He took a deep sigh while thinking of the words he would tell her. "I should be the one to apologize," he said, capturing her eyes back at him. Luns remained silent and their eyes met again. "I'm your husband and I acted like a stranger," he said. "Why?" Luna finally asked. "Why did you act like that?" She could not help but ask.How should he tell her that it was because he's not his real husband? That they are really strangers to each other and he's only doing this to protect her from 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
