[Gabriel]"If you don't mind, I would like to know what exactly happened. We are alone here, so I'm hoping you will be honest with me." Ashley said staring at me, I shut my eyes for a moment, my hand drumming on the counter as the memory of that day five years ago flashed before my eyes."I met her at a Mall at first," I said, and Ashley drew her stool closer to mine. I reached for the next shot that the bartender had dropped and gulped the entire content, gritting my teeth as the hot liquid melted through my throat."There is this particular Mall I always visited and I always noticed this pretty girl staring at me strangely. She was about about eighteen at the time," I rubbed my temples, recalling the exact day I caught sight of her."So on a faithful evening, she walked up to me and tried to talk to me. I was in a terrible mood, so I ignored her, but a few days later, I met her again, she stuck a piece of paper in my hand and ran away, I read the things she wrote, she was expressin
[Gabriel]"Momma, are you okay?" I asked Remi, I could hear her heavy breathing over the phone."I'm...I am fine, no, I am not, oh God, please can I see you, I mean, where are you?" Remi asked making my brow crease even more"I'm heading to my guest house, I will send you the address, are you sure you are okay?" I asked, knitting my brows together."Yes, I'll be waiting!!" Remi said and immediately ended the call. StrangeI swiped over to my message and immediately sent her the address of the guest house where I lodged as well as the suit number. I revved my engine to life and drove off, ignoring the thought of who I wanted to call earlier.I drove right into the parking lot of the guest house, turned off the engine, and made my way inside, greeting the few staff who were present at the reception. Digging my fingers into my scalp, I marched to the elevator and headed to my suit on the top floor of the guesthouse.I walked right into my suit, slid off my clothes, and headed to the show
[Gabriel]"What's up, dude!" I walked into the warehouse, watching Jaxon with his hand crossed over his chest, with a few underlings busy packing and unpacking some goods."You are here!" Jaxon said to me walking over to me."Is everything okay? You sounded like something was wrong.""Because something might go wrong if we don't act quickly to stop them!" Jaxon said, making my brows crease even more."You should see this!" He walked over to the inner room inside the warehouse, while I walked behind him, my eyes darting around the crates being packed.I walked into the room, plopping down on the leather seat near Jaxon, with my eyes fixed on the computers and laptops. I watched as Jaxon's fingers danced across the keyboard before he zoomed in on a specific video motioning for me to look.I stared at the video, watching as about ten men surrounded our warehouse, and from what I could tell, they looked like FBI agents."I'm guessing that fucker gave them some information!" Jaxon said as
[Gabriel]"How did you know I had the video? I never mentioned it to you." I asked Ashley, and she cleared her throat."Logan told me you had the video for over five years and one of your fears was Ava finding out about it, but he didn't tell me past that, he said he wasn't in a position to tell me what happened, but he said you didn't do it," Ashley said, and I noddedA small smirk curved on my lips as I rubbed my temples"Up until now, I still give it to whoever was behind that murder, and I'm sure it wasn't their first kill because De Achors guest house belonged to a very good friend of mine, and it's where I spend the majority of my time when I don't want to be home, and when I say the security is top-notch, it's one of the best." My hand clamped around my glass as I took another sip, shutting my eyes for a moment."We took her to the hospital to ensure it was confirmed by the medical personnel, and she was eventually confirmed dead. I contacted my friend and told him about it, ur
[Ava] This has been one of the toughest weeks of my life. Staying away from people I care about, especially Gabriel, has been so difficult. My mind has been messed up, and I just want to forget about everything and run into the arms of the man I love with all my heart, but how could I do that? I bit down on my bottom lips, staring at my phone as I walked out of the studio. Caleb had texted me that he's coming to pick me up. He's been so fucking nice to me doing this difficult moment even though he had no idea why I was hurting, he would call me almost every day, taking me out to lunch and dinner, and trying to make me feel alive. But the more I stare into his eyes, the more I feel guilty. The more I am reminded that the pain they went through was caused by a man I love, and it hurts so much. "Oh, so..." My words trailed off as I stared at the man in front of me. My heart skipped a thousand beats, goosebumps spreading all over my body, and I could feel the hair on the back of my he
[Ava]Gabriel's words echoed throughout my mind, and as his grip on my hand tightened, my gaze shifted away from his, my heart racing so fast that I feared he could hear the sound.Ava, you wanted this, you told him to stay away from you, that you would make him pay and quench every love you had for him. Then why is it difficult to say it now that he has asked? Why?"Tell me, Princess!" Gabriel's voice was barely above a whisper—a soft, vulnerable sound.I stared up at Gabriel, parting my lips to speak, but no words came out, his brow creased together, my heart thumping hard in my chest, and as if the hold he had on me wasn't enough, he gave my hand a gentle squeeze, sending shivers all over my body"Gab... Gabriel," his name escaped my lips in a whisper. Just say the goddamn words and let him go, Ava, he is a murderer!! Remember!!The loud screeching of tires drew my attention to the direction of the lot, and I recognized the car immediately - That's Caleb. And just like that, I felt
[Gabriel]Seeing her walk away from me and into another man's arms felt like a stab to my heart. I waited for her to tell me everything I asked, but she didn't say a word. I know she is hurting, and I know I made a big mistake, but all I needed was for her to give me listening ears. I can only do my best by telling her how everything happened, I know I can't force her to believe me, but she should allow me to explain.Without looking in the direction she walked, I turned on my heel and headed to my carMy heart was racing, my pulse pounding in my ears like a jackhammer as I pulled the door of my car open, stepped in, revved the engine to life, and sped out.I have been driving for the past ten minutes with no idea where I was going, all I wanted to do was drive, fucking drive!!She still loves me, it's written all over her face, and she couldn't even say what I asked her to, "I messed up, little doll, I know I did, but just listen to me," I growled loudly, slamming my hand on the ste
[Gabriel]"Are you okay?" I asked Ava for the umpteenth time since she stepped into my car. All she ever did was nod, her eyes were fixed downward, her hand fidgeting with her dress. I knew she was still skeptical, but my heart was soaring. The fact that my baby was right here with me in my car made my whole fucking day!I swirled my steering wheel as I approached my house; I turned off my engine and stepped out, making my way to the passenger's seat but before I could open the door, Ava pushed the door open and stepped out, our eyes met for a fleeting second before she looked away staring downward. I shut the door and motioned for us to step insideWe stepped inside the house and Ava went straight to the sitting room plopping down on the couch. I stood there my fingers drifting to my hair, tugging at it slightly as I felt my anxiety spike. I bit down on my lower lip unsure of what to do next, the knot in my stomach, getting tighter by the second. I took a deep breath and made my way

[Ava]Seven years later....."No I'm watching that, don't remove it!" I shook my head when I heard a loud shout from the sitting room. And I knew Micah and Mila were at it again.I quickly washed and dried my hand as I walked to the sitting room, and I was damn right.Mila, my six-year-old daughter, was running around holding the remote while Micah her twin brother was running after herMy gaze shifted to the state of the sitting room, and I took a slow deep breath, folding my hand across my chest.Having twins was indeed a blessing, but these two kids wanted to be the end of me."What is going on here?" My gaze darted as I watched their older sister walk down the stairs, holding a book in her hand. Micah and Mila immediately stood still, staring at her. I honestly didn't have the strength to separate another fight for the tenth time today."Sissy, it's Micah!" Mila screamed, and Micah glared at her before turning to Elma."No, Sissy, it's Mila!" Micah said softly, and I couldn't hol
[Gabriel]The door had barely clicked shut behind Ashley and Logan as they stepped out when I immediately turned and locked my gaze on her.My wifeAva stood near the dining table, her eyes lingering all over mine as she bit down on her bottom lip. The way she rubbed her thighs told me she couldn't wait for Ashley and Logan to leave! In two long strides, I was right in front of her. Her lips parted and she was about to say something, but I didn't give her a chance as my hand snaked around her waist, smashing my lips against hersShe moaned, her nails digging into my shoulder as I pushed her back against the dining table, pushing my body against hers as I let her know just how fucking hard I was for her."Gabriel...," Her voice was barely above a whisper as I drew back, swirling my clothed cock on her"Do you know how fucking difficult it was watching you squeeze those thighs together?" I growled, my lips trailing down her jaw. "You were dripping for me weren't you?" "Fuck yes!" Ava
[Ava]Four months later...I stared at my husband as soon as we got into the car. My gaze shifted between the sonogram image in my hand and Gabriel's stunned expression.I choked out a laugh, shaking my head as Gabriel ran a finger through his hair.The revelation we just heard a few minutes ago at my doctor's office left us both speechless."This is...". I trailed off, watching Gabriel take the sonogram image from my hand"Where the hell was that sneaky little one hiding all this time?" My lips couldn't stop curling into a smile as my left hand rested on my baby bump, which had become more visible in the last few weeks. The last ultrasound we had was in my third month and we saw our cute little one, but today which was currently my fifth month, my doctor just dropped a bomb, telling us there were two. Two little ones. Turns out, one had been sneaky and managed to hide during our last ultrasound"I guess he wanted to surprise us!" Gabriel murmured, his lips widening into a big smile
[Ava]My eyes were burning as I tried to open them.Why does it feel like I'm in a terrible dream?I groaned, slowly opening my eyes. I blinked twice, my gaze darting around as I tried to take in my surroundings.I tilted my neck to the side, my brows creasing together. I could see someone holding up my hand with his head bent low.I batted my lashes staring at the figure, and it took me a few seconds to realize it was Gabriel. And just like he sensed my eyes on him, he raised his head, his eyes meeting mine"Princess!" Gabriel stood up from the chair and sat beside me, his gaze sweeping across my face. I stared at him, trying to make out the image that was forming inside my head.Why does it seem like I was having my wedding? Was that a dream"Can you hear me?" Gabriel's voice jolted me out of my thoughts, and my gaze darted all over his body. The cloth he was putting on, what the..."Where am I? What's going on?" My voice was barely audible as I asked. Gabriel's brow rose and he bi
[Gabriel]"Princess," My voice pitched up as I held Ava's limp body. My heart thumped hard, my eyes widening as I stared at my wifeWhat the fuck is wrong?"What...what is going on?" My gaze shifted to my mother-in-law as she dashed towards me, her eyes wide with fear as she looked from me to Ava. I shook my head, my hand moving by itself as I grabbed my woman in my arms, and the next second I was running out"Get the fuck out of the way?" I barked at no one in particular as the few guests stood up and tried to make their way towards us.My jaw clenched tightly as I dashed towards my lot! Fuck. Princess, what is this? I fucking noticed something was off!"This way!" Jaxon shouted as I watched him run towards the car that was parked on the east side of my house. My jaw clenched hard as I followed behind him. The back door immediately swung open, and I stepped right in, placing my woman down."Let me drive!" I groaned, my heart pounding so hard that it felt like it was going to rip ou
[Gabriel]The moment I saw her step out, everything else fadedMy wife-to-beMy breath hitched as my eyes remained focused on her. The sight of her was stealing every air from my lungs, and for a long breathless moment, I thought my heart had stopped.My gaze swept across her body. She looked...unreal like she was crafted out of a magazine cover. Damn!!!The dress hugged her in ways that made my heart race. Every curve, every delicate inch. Heavens!!The shimmering lace was catching the sunlight, casting a soft golden glow around her as if the universe itself couldn't help but admire her. Her lips were slightly parted as she stared at me... Fuck!!! My heart was pounding so violently that I swore everyone could hear it. Each step she took made the weight of this moment press harder against my chest. She was mine... Mine to be!! It was truly happening!Just as my eyes drank her in, they flickered down to my little girl walking in front of her, holding her small bouquet with both hands
[Ava]The moment the lace settled against my skin. My heart began pounding so hard. My wedding dress hugged me all in the right placesI took a deep breath as I stepped out of the partition standing in front of the large mirror. My breath hitched as I caught a glimpse of my reflection. Everything else faded for a moment.The shimmer in the fabric caught the light perfectly, and the sweetheart neckline framed my collarbone with delicate confidence and elegance. A gold necklace with a round-cut diamond sat perfectly against my skin, subtle but stunning like it was made for this momentMy eyes moved down my body, and my heartbeat quickened. This is beautiful! This is!!"You look..." My mother's voice dragged me out of my thoughts, her voice cracking as she paused standing beside me "Perfect!" She mumbled softlyWhen did she come in? She walked closer to me, holding my hand and spinning me around to face her.Her gaze traced my body from head to toe. She stared back at me and I noticed t
[Ava]It was finally the D-dayMy heart was pounding as Ashley and my mother walked in and out of the room, trying to put things in order. Elise and her team arrived with my wedding dress a few hours ago. We were currently in one of Gabriel's Mansions in his beach house.I haven't seen him since the last time he came for dinner at my house. I tried sneaking out to at least catch a glimpse of him when we got here in the morning because I knew that he was currently in the other Mansion on the east side, but Ashley scolded me before I could make a move with the, 'No, you can't see the groom until you walk down the aisle,' she even had to take my phone so I wouldn't call Gabriel and try sneaking out again I even thought he would be the one to bring Elma to us, but Jaxon had brought her to the side of the mansion we were in.The make-up artist was done with my makeup, and the stylists were still trying to get my hair in order. They were taking their precious time to make me look goodMy g
