“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
“Get out!." Mrs Winthrop said.I looked quickly, hoping that she would be talking to Mr Winthrop and I was deeply saddened by the fact she was only talking to Merritt. She was only angry at Merritt, what about the cheating partner?!What about the cheating partner! Not the person they cheated with.“Aren't you going to do something about Grandpa?." Regalia was the first to splutter out her thoughts, she did not fail to hide her disgust.At this point, I didn't care about any issues I had with Gabriel. I went to him and placed my head on his chest, I brought my hand to the back of his neck and I caressed him gently.“I'm sorry baby." I told him.His hold on my waist tightened but he said nothing.Mr Winthrop turned to look at Gabriel in the, I told you so, manner.“Jesus." Criss muttered under his breath, Regalia ran towards where her grandad was standing, Criss caught her by her wrist and he pulled her to the stairs but she fought to hit him. “Let's pack and get the hell out of here.
I reached for him and hugged him tight, in his moment of weakness I would be strong for the both of us. Because he was strong all the time. “Oh god, Cristela." He cried out.“It's fine baby, I'm fine."He pulled away from the hug, tears stained his cheeks, the green in his eyes glowed like new leafs in spring and the golden turned clearer that I could see it even in the semi dark room.“I'm sorry, I'm sorry."“I know, Gabriel."“I could have hurt you, I could have—oh god." He said in utter disbelief, agony passed through his eyes, more misery I've seen in any man's eyes.“You didn't hurt me, I'm fine." "No, you should hate me Cristela, you should be running away from me because I'm a monster." I reached forward, stepped on my tiptoe and kissed him hard.I ran my tongue on the bottom of his lips, asking for permission, he parted his lips and I tasted him desperately, reminding myself that he was truly my Gabriel and I let him remind himself who was standing in front of him. He leane
As soon as we climbed down from Gabriel's private jet, there were cars waiting for us. It was cold, I pulled my fur coat tighter around me and Gabriel moved first to open the door for me.He entered as soon as I was comfortably seated.“Drive." He told the driver who obeyed immediately.I was asleep for most of the time we flew here and the time I was awake, I watched everybody else sleep.“Put on your seat belt." Gabriel instructed me."I reached for the belt and pulled it into it's place. “How long would it take before we get there?." I asked him.“Not long, a few minutes." I turned to look at the other car that Kylee and Wayne were riding in.“Gabriel, are you still angry at Kylee?."He turned to look at me and he thought about it, before he could conclude I spoke first because the look on his face told me he was really angry. “Forgive her, send Wayne back home."" She caused most of it, because of her you almost left me." " It's all in the past, we should move on." “Okay." He
