I climbed down from the car and bidded Gabriel's driver goodbye, he nodded curtly and drove off.I turned to the Ancho building, it was bigger then I'd expected, I walked into a lobby that was white from top to bottom. White majestic marble flooring, white chairs, white curtains, white desk and standing behind the white counter-desk was a color contradiction.It was a receptionist wearing the pride formal shirt and bow tie. I smiled at him and he returned my smile warmly, I had been standing there watching everything and I didn't realize I was frozen.I walked over to the big desk and I greeted him“How are you doing today?." He asked, I wondered if it was part of his job to ask but I felt cared for.“I'm doing okay-ish, I'm kind of nervous."“First time here?."“Yeah, I have an interview, I haven't started yet although I know I'm going to get the job."“Self confident, I like it." I grinned.“Thank you. I like your outfit."“It's just a little showcase darling." He said with a wink
I went forward and sat in front of her, she looked plain in my eyes now. I used to see her as a fairy Princess, but that was just me glorifying her because I hadn't seen too much of raw beauty, after my visit to Ryan's resort, I know better.“Look at you, I could barely recognize you." She said softly.“I was walking by and I saw you enter... I decided to finally have my closure."Her breath hitched but she released it almost immediately and she smiled nervously.“I had feelings for Chase."“I figured." I said sarcastically.There was silence, she pursed her lips and thought about what to say next.“Cristela, you have to understand something. When Chase came to set, that wasn't the first time I saw him, I have known him because I followed him on Instagram, I thought I told you."“You showed me and told me about a lot of boys on Instagram, how do you think I'll remember one of them."There was silence again.“When he was touching you on the dance floor I felt pained, I joined in, hopin
My phone buzzed in my handbag, I pulled it out to check who it was, when I saw the caller ID was Gabriel, I felt safe.“Cristela, where are you heading to." His voice came out sharp, there was no hello or hi, the question didn't even sit well with me.“Why are you asking?." I asked him, feeling suspicious.“You just left the coffee shop and now your cab is going the wrong way, did you get lost?."“How did you know I'm in a cab?."He was quiet, I turned to look at the cab closely following behind us.“You told that guy to follow me and here I was thinking that I'm going to get kidnapped."“I'm sorry. But where are you going?." He didn't deny the fact that he sent someone to follow me, to stalk me!. “I'm going to my parents house."“It's too early, I thought they asked for dinner."I shrugged even when he wouldn't see it.“You don't sound so good baby, what's wrong?."I'm your bloody niece.“Nothing."“Was it Paige?."“No, Paige was nice." I lied.“Then what's the matter.."“ nothing,
“What is wrong Cristela, I'm not going to repeat myself again, talk to me."I didn't want to look at him, I didn't know how to.What was actually wrong?.There were lots of things. The guns, the violence, the hitmen. I heard my phone buzzing from afar, It was an opportunity for me to busy myself. I went to grab my handbag from where it laid and I pulled my phone out.It was a series of texts from Blue.'Cristela are you alright?. What would make you think you're disgusting? Jeez, call me when you get this text and take care. 'She didn't answer me, was I disgusting, yes or no. Probably the answer was yes.“I was thinking..." I started saying, I found new courage.Gabriel was paying great attention. “I know that you've told me about my people pleasing and how much I care about people's opinion about me but..."I looked up from the ground to look at him, his face was straight, jaw clenched, eyes hard but he gave away nothing.“But this is just plain wrong, look I went into the kitchen
He opened the pantry and took out some plain ingredients.“Baby, check the rooster and see what your parents are supposed to have today." " Truffles and bacon." I said looking at the cooking rooster.“I can make that." He said matter of factly.“I don't like it." I told him.“Okay... What do you want."“Mashed potatoes and grilled stake would not be bad, we can even garnish it with caviar." "Perfect." He said with a small smile.I heard the doorbell ring.I looked at Gabriel.“I'll get it." He told me.“No, don't, I'll go." I told him and I left before he would go.“Dad, hi." I said opening the door.“It was locked from the inside and I swear I wanted to call the police." Dariel said laughing.I opened the door wider for him to walk through.He walked in, he looked nothing like Gabriel.He had sandy blonde hair and deep brown eyes, he did not have any dark mysterious aura, he was an entrepreneur alright but he didn't have the undying zeal that Gabriel had, he didn't even look dashin
I pulled away from him and jerked off the couch. Without turning to look at him or my stepdad, I went to open the door.“Cristela, you came." My mother said gleefully.I hugged her and she hugged me back, times like this seemed precious. I was her daughter and she was my mother, it was simple and perfect.I pulled out of the hug.“This dress looks expensive." She said scrunching her nose at me.“Mum, you know how to ruin a good moment."“Hope those aren't real diamonds Cristela, remember to save."“You're dad's financial advisor, not mine." I told her and I closed the door.She chuckled.“Gabe, it's nice to see you after a few days." My mum said giving him a hug.“It's nice to see you too, Elise. Dariel said you went to visit a friend?."“I did, her daughter just got married." My mother said throwing a sideward glance at me.“Who knows when Cristela would finally decide to get a boyfriend." My mother said, she didn't fail to show her disappointment in her eyes and her tone of voice.G
I couldn't stop him, I watched him leap from there, jumped through the twelve footwall like a cocaine bear and he landed right beside me, he rolled on the ground, got up, dusted his clothes and smiled.“Woah, you look more beautiful from up close, Cristela, look at you." He said coming close, his fingers made contact with my skin and it stung, like small electric currents was passing through his fingers into my skin.“You felt that too didn't you?." He asked me.I tried to make sense of it. Why did I feel it with him, I felt it with Gabriel... This was the universe trying to play ticks with me and test me to see if I'll consider a reverse harem. “I did." I mused.“I have missed you greatly, Cee." He said hugging me, I liked the way he smelt.Not entirely expensive, subtle, calm, natural and homey.I closed my eyes, and basked in the pleasure of being simply held and simply wanted, nothing added.I heard the door slam shut, it deliberately loud so that I would snap, my eyes opened, Ga
GABRIELJacob is talking, everyone is laughing. He's teasing, saying things that feels like a sharp knife twisting my soul and all I want is to get out of here. Once again I'm reminded of my dark and sorrow-filled childhood.I'm the black sheep, that doesn't get the luxury to laugh with the rest. I'm reminded of Cristela's words, her threats. I want to tell him that she's mine, simple. Cristela is mine but she made it clear that anything I say or do would make her leave me for good and I never even knew that something as small as that would make her leave me.It made me feel our relationship doesn't feel significant to her. I'm tortured, it feels like a plague.I can't leave, I love her too much, but, I don't want to be here. For the first time in my entire life I'm scared, for the first time in a long while I'm genuinely scared.Fear was never a thing I felt before until this afternoon when she hung up on me and then I came here to find her bag in the door but the entire house was
GABRIELCristela was crying, that was what my brain thought first, it was all I could think about. I sat up and rushed to hold her. My heart was hammering against my ribs.“Baby, what's wrong.... Come on, talk to me baby, why are you crying?."“My dad."She managed to say.“Was it a bad dream, I'm sorry, I'm here now ."I held her against my chest.“No, it wasn't a bad dream, it was good."“Then why are you crying?."“Because I'm happy, these are tears of joy."I kissed the top of her head and she held me tight.“Thank you Gabriel."“For what?."“For all this. For happiness."All the words I was going to say got stuck in my throat and I was overfilled with gratitude and love, I should be thanking her. I held her tight and closed my eyes.“Go to sleep my love, I'll hold you." THE ENDEPILOGUEThree years later.Kylee was holding Mila's cute little hands. She looked exactly like Criss but sometimes I like to tell Kylee that her daughter resembled her just to get favours done.I brought
“Well, since you asked so nicely, my love " He released me and I turned to lay on my back, he pulled off his pants and his shirt, I watched him through heavy lidded eyes.He pulled my legs and I brought my lips to his cock. I looked up at him and my heart fluttered as I saw his stare, as if he was wondering how to ravish me.I held the base of his cock and kissed the tip. He groaned through gritted teeth as I brought out my tongue and swatted it all over the head of his cock.“Oh god." He moaned.I smiled and ran my tongue along the shaft, then the crown.“Yo-you're killing me."I put the head of his cock slowly into my mouth, his body began trembling. The power I held over him felt too good. I pulled his cock out of my mouth and he gasped.“Fuck you." He cursed with a laugh and held my neck.I swear he cut off air supply by holding my throat.He shoved his cock into my mouth and down my throat, I gagged and he moaned and proceeded to shoved it in some more. It stung so badly, tears
CRISTELA“Fuck, no one told me it would hurt like this." I groaned and threw my head back.“Push Mrs Faust, you're doing great." Gabriel was squeezing my hand and kissing my knuckles.“Do something!" He yelled at the doctor as I screamed.“This is the normal procedure, we can't do anything, unless you want her operated on."I breathed in through my nose and out through my mouth, the doctor said the baby was already crowning, I had got to do one big push.I felt like ten thousand crabs were pinching me down there and another ten thousand were pulling.“You can do this baby." Gabriel said encouragingly, he was more nervous than I was and it gave me hope because I needed to be strong for five of us. I couldn't believe that there were two more.I did one big push.“That's it, another one. You're doing perfectly." The sound of a baby's cry pierced through the room.Cold sweat was gathering on my face. Gabriel left my side for and returned with the baby.“It's a boy." He said and he kiss
Standing in front of the big mirror, I brushed my hair till all the strands were straight.“That mother fucker thought he could ruin your beautiful wavy hair, but I'm here to fix it, okay?."I giggled as Blue animatedly waved the hair products in the air like a magic wand.The door opened and Gabriel walked in with Kylee, he was carrying two large shopping bags.“I thought you guys were just going to get lunch." I said concerning the bag.It's been three days since I got back home and I'm already looking like the way I used to look before Solis captured me, a rich young woman. Old money kind of rich. I was dripping in wealth, practically. At this point I've gotten used to the fact that Gabriel is wealthy and I'm also wealthy. Till now I can't wrap my head around the fact that we are actually married.Gabriel rescheduled a different wedding for us, it would just be our close circle and this time it would be filled with happiness. I still have nightmares of Solis, sometimes he succeed
“I'm not about to have sex with you like a teenager searching for an easy fix or a pussy deprived man. I'm about to make love to you because I've wanted for the day that i would hold you in my arms and now it's happening, I'm going to savour it."I relaxed and let him.He saw the relent in me and kissed me softly, as if he knows I'll never break but he wants to care for me anyway. Tears stinged my eyes and stained my cheeks.“I love you." He whispered, brushing my tears away.My words choked in my throat, I wondered if he had stopped loving me one time.I wondered if he didn't even care to find me or if he had given up, now I'm happy to laugh in the face of the insecurity because I know none if is true. This man would love me to the grave, chase my soul with a shackle chain around both of our necks in the afterlife, find me in the next life and still keeping loving me then...rinse and repeat, till infinity. Until whenever consciousness decides to take a halt.He pulled off his belt an
KYLEEI glanced at the marriage certificate, it's the only thing on the table and fuck me twice but I know that Gabriel's table is always heavy with files and paperwork, it's as if he cleared the table because nothing was worthy to sit beside this very certificate.“So you both are married now." I said as a way of greeting. Of course he doesn't acknowledge me, but I didn't expect him to snap back to his old teasing and witty self. I had lost the beautiful man he became when Cristela came into his life and now I didn't even have any rights to the machine she made after she left.Now I'm unsure which he is now... Something tells me he's different again, another beast has been born, this one is new and much more stronger. The hairs on the back on my neck stand as I watched him. He's wearing a black suit shirt, the jacket is sprawled on the arm chair. The only thing shinny on his body is his diamond watch and belt metal head.He sits, watching Cristela sleep on the large bed. He's in his
“get dress, we found a priest."I started getting dressed. My wedding day, I can't believe that I used to fantasize about Gabriel and I getting married, I wouldn't want many guests... Hell I didn't even have any friends except Blue and he knew thousands of people and the entire world knows his name yet I wonder if he really trusts anyone apart from me, Wayne and Kylee.They were the only people I really knew that were friends with him. The others were nuisances that fought their way into his life.Like Adeline, Tina... Elise.“You look so beautiful." Solis said, tears slipped past my eyes and he beckoned on me to come so he would wipe them away when he was the one that causes them. ***I stood in the altar.Solis was unhinged. He was either not scared of anything at all including Gabriel and the devil or he simply didn't know who Gabriel was. When Ruiz told me that Solis would not bother to search online for who Gabriel was, I didn't believe him until I stood in the altar, facing hu
The door opened and Greta walked in. She was carrying a bag that looked too heavy.“Good morning, sir."Solis smile lasted Only seconds before he turned to his laptop.Greta turned to me and that understanding we had was gone. Now all that I saw when she looked at me was hate and disappointment. I turned away from her because I didn't want to keep staring at those negative emotions. I needed to think.Gabriel was in this country and not just that, he was looking for me. I had to leave clues for him to find me, I had to do something. Greta returned from the bathroom. “Come, let's wash you up."Greta said flatly.I wondered what would happen if I faked being hurt... Solis would definitely take me to the hospital.But, what if history repeats itself. When Solis takes me to the hospital, Gabriel comes here.I walked to the bathroom and Greta followed behind me. She shut the door. “How do you feel?."“I don't feel pain anywhere."“No, how do you feel now that you've made him sad."I laug
They were right. We drove to the border and i had to stop.Ruiz broke the window and pulled me out of the car. Hot white pain exploded through my face as he slapped me on my cheek.“Tell Solis we've got her."He pushed me back into the passenger seat of the car and got into the driver's seat. His phone rang and he picked it up.“We chased her and I've caught her... Yes she's here with me... I'm sorry, I would have checked my car first... We've gotten her."Ruiz turned to me“Solis is broken because of you!" He shouted in my face. “He thought you loved him, you should have heard him talk... He's finished!"“Fuck you, Ruiz." I managed to say, my cheek was warm from his slap. “In courtesy of my boss, if he asks, I'll say you bumped your head while thrashing."Before I could even process the meaning of his words, he punched me and i went out cold.I woke up to soft buzzing.My kids were heavy, I turned to the buzzing sound to see a yellow lamp, it's light bulb was buzzing softly.“We don
