“What do you mean by she's gone, did she go shopping?."Regalia chuckled as if I said something funny and Criss glared at her.“No, she left. She said she's going back home." Criss replied.“How long have she been gone?." Cristela asked“Two days."“Two days, isn't she coming back?." Regalia asked feigning confusion and Criss glared at her again, this time it was a silent warning.She stuck out her tongue at him and she left.“So, she just left without saying anything?." Cristela asked Criss.He shook his head.“No, she was pretty upset and sad about what happened in the hospital." Criss explained and I remembered that she cried as i left.I should have called her.“What happened in the hospital?." Cristela asked Criss who turned to look at me.“I don't know, ask Gabriel."“What happened in the hospital Gabriel." Cristela asked me with a raised brow." Nothing, I just asked her why she left you alone and she said you were safe with Criss," I turned to Criss and i didn't try to hide my
I chose long term happiness. The divorce papers were more important. I went to Cristela's bedroom to make sure she wasn't inside, the room was empty, all her things had been moved upstairs.“Gabe, you're back." My mother's voice said from behind me.I turned around and she was smiling at me. “It's been years since I saw you in casuals, you look... Nice."“Thank you." “What is that you're holding?."“Divorce papers, Dariel and Elise are getting divorced."Her eyes widened in surprise.“Really?." She asked.“Yes. Where is dad, I didn't see him anywhere downstairs."“He's out, he says he is playing tennis or golf, I don't know."“Do you think he's having an affair?."She was quiet for a long time.“I suspected it, I don't know."“Do you want me to confirm it, I have people wh-"“No, leave it alone, I don't want to know."“Why?." I asked her.I was always angry about it, why he would bring women home and she would turn a blind eye. She would never call him out on cheating.“I... It's bet
Did I lie about Elise taking his money, certainly. I did.Did my plan work?.I stretched out my hand to take the divorce papers and Dariel's signature was on each and every page.It did. “You made the right choice, brother." I told Dariel and he picked up his board, erased the former text and wrote something down. He showed it to me.“Get me out of here."“I'm sorry Dariel but for my plans to work you have to stay here."He shook his head angrily and scribbled something.“I need to get Elise, I need to make sure she pays for this. My years of hardwork."What hardwork, I started his company. “She will pay, Dariel. I assure you of this and I will make it happen, don't you trust me?."He studied me for a moment and he started writing something.“How much did she take?."“Let's say too much for you to handle."He closed his eyss and used the board again.“Am I broke now?."Should I torture him, tell him that he's worth little, make him pay for his own deeds?.But Dariel never really did
“Baby, what are you talking about." I asked her, everything she was saying was as if she was reading from a book of my bad deeds. “You only need something in order of it's importance. No matter how much you need me now, if there is something more important than me, I would become a forgotten topic in the blink of an eye."“No..." I tried to take a step towards her and she took a step back. I felt my guts wrench, the physical pain of my chest caving was gruesome.I took a step towards her again and she took a step back.“You wanted the stupid papers signed so bad that you didn't see how worried I was about Kylee, now you have the divorce papers signed and it's order of important had reshuffled and gone under me, you can now see me clearly?."“Cristela, this conclusions that you're jumping into is an effect on conditioning. What Josef said, what Criss said, what Kylee said, what Dariel said... And I've been trying to get you to talk to me or see a therapist because you've been harbour
KYLEEThe man sitting in the bar has been eyeing me since the moment I walked into the place. I wanted to leave the country but I just couldn't. I wanted to draft my resignation letter but I knew that the moment I send it and it gets approved, I would never see Gabriel again.Not because he's hiding but because he's so far to reach that the people around him don't know the suffering others go through just to get a three minutes meeting with him. He's so far that I have no chances of ever laying my eyes on him again, except for maybe in television and the magazines. This job was the only key I had to him and I would lose him. He was the only family I knew. I didn't want to lose him, I am not stupid to want him out of my life. He's disappointed at me, maybe I should just go on my knees and apologize. The fact hat I haven't reached out to tell him I was sorry was shameful. I knew how much he loves Cristela, I knew how much he was scared of her getting hurt by someone else again and he t
His hotel was not far from the bar at all, I wondered why he even stressed himself to bring a car when he could just walk. I knew that if I went with this Kincaid and I decide to ghost him after having sex with him, my chances were that he would try to find me and he might take a while before he actually does find me but on the way he would uncover my true identity. “No, I changed my mind."“But I want you and you wanted me too, what happened?."“Uh, nothing. It was nice meeting you." I turned around to leave but he held me tight, the grip on my arm was hurting me and I was certain it had bruised me. “I can give you what you want."“I said I'm no longer interested."I tried to yank my hand out of his grip but he smirked and pulled me closer.“I don't think so." He said.“You don't think what? Get the Fuck out of my face you fucking—"“Say it and give me a reason to hurt you."***I left Gabriel in the bedroom to go downstairs. Wayne had arrived and he was sitting on Regalia's favou
“Is he dead?." Gabriel asked Wayne casually.“No sir, but I would be more than happy to amend that mistake."Gabriel turned to me, he read my expression and he looked at Wayne.“No, just drive away."Kylee's tense shoulders relaxed.“Let me guess, you tried to steal his wallet." Wayne said angrily, I did not know who he was talking to until Kylee's sobs erupted in the car.Wayne didn't make any move to calm her, Gabriel didn't either.What was wrong with these men?!I reached out my hand to her shoulder, she froze at first then she looked down at my hand, looked up at me and broke an appreciative smile before continuing crying.I left her to cry all her pain out, crying helped me stabilize my emotions all the time. It didn't take long before we drove to the castle. Immediately Wayne stopped the car, Kylee was the first person to pop the door. Wayne opened his own immediately after her and jumped out. I opened my door in time to hear Wayne say.“Boss would like to speak with you, after
On my way down, I went to Kylee's bedroom, I pressed my ear against the door and listened.“I didn't know it would happen, I swear." Kylee was crying.There was no response, I waited and waited, then suddenly the door opened, I was leaning on it so I almost fell face flat on the floor.Wayne caught me because he was expecting to catch someone eavesdropping on their conversation. How he knew I was there I didn't know.He put me back on my feet and I looked at Kylee, she was sitting on a chair in the middle of the room.“What are you doing to her?." I asked pushing my way into the room.“She's fine." Wayne saidI went to stand in front of her.“I'm fine, I'm fine we're just talking."I turned briefly to see where Wayne was, he was standing in a position where he could see and hear us properly.“I'm going to ask Merritt to make something for us, would you like to have anything special?."“No, I'll have the same thing you're having." She answeredI smiled at her and left the room. I went
