Never Say Goodbye Chapter Sixty
Arian Our day of fun was ruined and the sexual tension that had sizzled between us was long gone as well. Gabriel had driven home in silence and I didn't bother making small talk either because I was still reeling from Mrs Cruz's apology. If I'd not saved her son, she might have blamed me for the shooting and she'd have done everything in her power to get me out of her son's life but I'd saved him so I was her heroine - for now.By dinnertime, I'm out of my mood but Gabriel is still very much silent and his attitude makes me wonder if I did or said anything I wasn't supposed to earlier at the hospital. I don't ask him any questions until we're getting ready for bed and despite the awareness that there won't be any kinky fuckery going on tonight, I expected him to pull me close like he usually does but he just turns his back to me, mutters a bland goodnight and turns off the lights.I stare at the ceiling, fuming about his childish behavior even though I don't have any right to. He'
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Sixty One
Gabriel I can't exactly say that I have telepathy but it would seem so because every time I get home from work rather early or just unexpectedly early, I'd find either my mom or my sister harassing Arian. It has only happened once before but a second time is making it too much and I won't stand for it."What's going on here?" I shut the front door and make my way over to the two women. There's a white envelope lying on the floor between them so I reach down and pick it up. "What's this?""Nothing." Gabi tries to snatch it from me but I turn my hand away at the right moment. She's acting really suspicious and I wonder just what she's come to say to Arian that hadn't been said before."It's something if you're shaking like this." I open the flap of the envelope and turn it over on my palm and a slip of paper slides out of it. I know what it is before I even turn it over and I lift my head to glare at my sister."It's not what you think." She mutters. "I was only trying to be of help."
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Sixty Two
ArianSomething feels off as Kary and I walk into the house but I can't put my finger on it. We meet Kelly pacing to and fro in the hallway with her hands folded and one finger in between her teeth. I can tell she's really anxious by the way she's biting down hard on that finger and I wonder what has her so agitated."Kelly, what's wrong?" I ask her."It's Mr Cruz." Her voice comes out shaky."What about my daddy?" Kary's eyes widens. "Is he alright?"Kelly glances at Kary worriedly and the expression on her face makes my heart race in my chest. I'd left the house to go and pick up Kary from school with Micah and Gabriel had gone on to his bedroom to change into casual clothes after his swim.He'd been smiling at something silly that I'd said and he'd even called to tell me that I could get ice cream for Kary if she requested for one."Um... Kary, why don't you go upstairs and wait for me?" I ask her. "I'll be with you shortly.""But, Papa..." She frowns."Your father is fine." I assu
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Sixty Three
Gabriel The speed at which Arian flies off my lap to put on her clothes makes me laugh even though there's nothing to laugh about, but having the best sex with the most amazing woman to have ever lived would do that to any man. Make him feel like he had absolutely nothing to fear in this world and I am a recipient of that feeling. I don't think I want anything or anyone to mar this euphoria I'm feeling right now, so it's with deliberate slowness that I put on my clothes and head to the door to open it but Arian stops me in my tracks with her hands on my arm and her eyes round like saucers. "Is there any way to get out of here without your father seeing me?" She whispers. "Why?" I frown. "I'd rather he doesn't know what we've been doing in here." She mutters. "He already knows about us." I inform her as dad bangs on the door this time. "He does?" She's shocked. "Don't worry about it." I tell her and unlock the door. It flies open and we stumble back to avoid being hit but dad
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Sixty Four
Gabriel It has been two weeks since I talked to Gabi and I've missed her. She's after all, my twin and we have a bond that can't be severed by anything. I've been trying to reach out to her or Simon but to no avail. It's as if both of them decided to boycott me or something and I can understand that they're still mad at me for what I did but it's not fair to me that all fingers are pointing at me as the bad guy here.Men sleep with women who aren't their wives or girlfriends all the time and no one calls them out on it. I don't even see my family members calling Lucille out on her infidelity but I do it and they're hell bent on making me end what I have with Arian.I did not tell anyone about the migraines I've been having lately and the over the counter drugs I've been taking don't help at all. I don't want to add to Arian's problems by falling ill so I told Kim to book an appointment for me with my doctor and here I am, two days later, with the hope that whatever drugs he'd prescri
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Sixty Five
ArianIt's been a week since I saw Gabriel, since I heard about the shooting incident and I've been praying for his recovery and also hoping it wasn't a life threatening injury he sustained. Kary has been staying with her grandparents since he was admitted in the hospital so I've been freer than a bird, with nothing to do except to read, help out in the kitchen and read again."Arian!" Kelly calls, bursting through the patio doors with a smile on her face and the wireless receiver in her hand. "Here!" She passes the phone to me."Who is it?" I ask."Take a guess." She winks at me then turns and hurries back inside.I stare at the receiver, eye it suspiciously for a second before I put it to my ear gingerly and take a deep shaky breath. I calm myself with the knowledge that Rafael doesn't know that I'm here and I speak into the phone."Cruz residence." I say."Arian, it's Gabriel." An unspeakable joy floods my soul upon hearing his voice and I burst into tears - happy tears. I knew I'
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Sixty Six
Gabriel "Are you happy now?" I ask Gabi. "You wanted to show me that she doesn't care about me and you did. Are you satisfied?""I didn't do it for me. I did it for you." She states. "Are you so blinded by her that you can't see she'll never love you?""I know that." I hiss through gritted teeth.Her mouth drops open in shock. "And you still want to go ahead with this ridiculous thing you have going on with her?""You told her that it's none of your business so stay out of it." I snap. "Why are you even here? Aren't there projects for you to tackle at work or am I your project? Make Gabriel see how much of a fool he is?""There's no need for you to be so cruel." She says. "I'm here because I care about you.""You have a funny way of showing it." I let out a derisive snort. I grab hold of the IV pole and use it to heave myself up to my feet then I slowly make my way back to the bed and sit down on it."I'm sorry if you think my actions are hurting you." She says. "I just want the best
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Sixty Seven
GabrielA week later "You're being followed, sir." The voice of one of my bodyguards fills the car. "It's a black Toyota Corolla without a license plate number."I look into my rearview mirror and see the car a few places behind me. I'd just left the hospital after being given the carte blanche by my doctor to resume activities - excluding weightlifting - for now. I can see the silhouette of a man in the driver's seat and I growl under my breath."Tail him. Make sure you don't lose him." I order. "I need to know who this fucker is.""Yes sir."I press down on the accelerator and the car shoots forward at a breakneck speed, leaving the other car way way behind me. I have a feeling that it's probably someone who has it out for me that wants me dead and all of my fingers are pointing to Vincent Harvey, but the idiot isn't in the country, so I can't accuse him of this face to face.I look back into the rearview mirror and grin when I see that I've managed to lose him. There's no way that

Never Say Goodbye Epilogue
Arian Six months later Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today in the sight of God to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Not to be entered lightly, holy matrimony should be entered into, solemnly and with reverence and honor." The priest begins in Italian. "Into this holy agreement, these two persons come together to be joined. If any person or people here can show cause as to why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace." Gabriel and I turn at the same time to look behind us but no one speaks up and we face the priest again. Majority of the people here probably don't understand what he's saying so we're good to go. "Do you, Gabriel Emerson Cruz, take Arian Katerina Macavinta to be your lawful wedded wife and live together in the estate of holy matrimony? Do you promise to love, comfort, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or for worse as long as you both shall live?" The pri
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Eighty Three
Gabriel Two years later Dear Gabriel, Two decades ago, I was a little girl who had been abandoned by her beloved father and I'd thought myself unworthy of anyone's love but you saw me, took your time to get to know me and at the end of that day, I went back to the orphanage with the knowledge that I was worthy of being loved by someone. Months ago, I thought I was returning home to get far away from the clutches of my ex husband and I vowed never to get involved with any man but I met you and you turned my life upside down. You made me happier than I'd ever been in years and for that, I'll be forever grateful to you. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you I am the girl you'd been waiting for and I didn't even realize it until you told me about your story. I'm sorry for leaving you and your daughter after I promised not to go, but I hope you can understand why I have to. Rafael is finally dead and I'm free from him forever, thanks to your father. I need to find myself again. I need t
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Eighty Two
Gabriel Arian probably thinks I'm out of my mind for challenging her ex husband to a fight. He's a dangerous man who has no qualms about killing someone in cold blood but I don't care. He made her life miserable for ten long years and even after being incarcerated in prison, he was still tormenting her in her dreams but it has to stop now. She was his and now she's mine and I will make sure I win this fight, then take pleasure in blowing his brains out with his own fucking gun. I have the upper hand in this fight and I don't give him an inch, throwing punches after punches making him bleed but he also doesn't give me an inch either as he throws a sucker punch that almost knocks me out. My ears ring from the punch and my vision becomes blurry but I shake myself out of it and attack him again and we end up rolling around on the floor trying to get the best of each other. My attention becomes divided as I see Lucille pick up one of the guns from the floor, turn off the safety and
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Eighty One
Arian "She has a gun." The voice in my head whispers fearfully. "She has a fucking gun!" I feel the cold sweat that has broken out on my face and I have trouble breathing. I hate guns, hate seeing them because I've had to live with gun-toting, knife-toting men like Rafael and his men for ten years. I'd prayed to God to keep me away from guns when I came to this country, but I'd ended up taking a bullet for this man in front of me and now his ex wife wants to exact revenge on him. Gabriel moves to stand in front of me, shielding me from his ex wife's murderous glare, all the while trying to placate her to drop the gun so they could talk calmly about this, but his words fall on deaf ears. "Did you think I was joking when I told you that I'd kill you and the woman you choose to leave me for?" She asks. "How stupid of you to think I'd just accept defeat like that, Gabriel Cruz! You're mine and no one else's." I don't know why Mrs Cruz and her daughter aren't here to see a certifiable
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Eighty
Gabriel I leave my car running, the automatic gear in Park and the door open as I race up the steps to Lucille's front door and I press the doorbell incessantly until the housekeeper appears to open the door for me. I don't give her the chance to say anything as I march into the house and head straight for the living room. She calls my name but I don't answer until I walk into the living room and my steps falter when I come face to face with my wife - soon to be ex wife - having sex with an unknown guy on the sofa. "Mr Cruz!" Helen stops beside me but she turns her back quickly, unlike me, as Lucille and the guy break apart. "What the hell, Gabe?!" She snaps. "I'm so sorry, ma'am. I tried to stop him but he barged in before I could." Helen apologizes. Lucille picks up her discarded dress from the floor and puts it on as the guy hastily dresses up but he doesn't quite finish and hurries out of the living room with his shirt and shoes. Good for him that he had the good sense t
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Seventy Nine
Gabriel Six weeks later Walking out of the High Court with the knowledge that in a few weeks, I'll be a single guy once again has me grinning from ear to ear. The judge had listened to both sides of our story and even as Lucille had laid it thick on her tears for the judge to rule in her favor... He hadn't and had declared our marriage irretrievable, but it hadn't been his final decision and that was good enough for me. I'd wanted Arian inside the court with me but she'd refused to go in, saying it reminded her of her own divorce and I'd not pressed her. Seeing her waiting for me on the steps of the building makes me very happy and my smile widens when she looks up and sees me. "How did it go?" She asks. "I'll be a single guy in a few weeks." I reply. "I don't know why he didn't just give a decree absolute instead of a decree nisi. It's all good, though, because I have finally beaten Lucille at her own game. She won't be Mrs Cruz for much longer." "It's fast." She remarks. "Min
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Seventy Eight
Lucille Gabriel has finally done it. He wants to get rid of me so he can have a good life with that bitch and my stupid daughter who wouldn't know a good mother from a bad one even if it hit her in the face. She has forgotten that it's because of me, because of my love for her father that she's alive today, but I'm going to let it slide with her because she's just a little girl.I'm sure Gabriel has been feeding her lies about me, which was the reason why she'd not wanted me at the party. One thing Gabriel Cruz doesn't know is that inasmuch as I love him, my love could easily turn to hatred and I did promise to never let him be happy with any other woman. If killing him or her would ensure the end of their budding relationship, then so be it. I'm game."Are you really letting him go?" Samantha settles down on the single wingback chair with a drink in her hand. "It's unlike you.""I'm making him think he has won, Sam." I send her a smirk. "He may win the case in court and we'll get d
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Seventy Seven
Arian"This is so surreal." I mutter. My head is resting on Gabriel's chest after our intense love making. It was better than the previous times. Although, it could be because we'd both gone two months without it and we'd been so starved for one another. All I know is that I'm not so sure I can say no to this man anymore."It is, isn't it?" I can hear the smile in his voice. "Being here with you, like this again. I feel like I'm dreaming.""Then, we're both having the same dream." I chuckle."I love you, Arian." He bends his head to plant a kiss on my hair. "It feels really good to let it out now.""Will you be okay with me saying I like you?" I ask in a tentative voice. "I can't go any further than that.""I'm more than okay with it." He squeezes my shoulder. "Half bread is better than nothing.""Do you think... Kary will hate me if I tell her I don't think I can be her mother? I mean, legally?" I look up at him. "What do you think?""I think she'll love you either way, Arian." He re
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Seventy Six
Gabriel "I'll go away." Lucille says. "I just came to say goodbye to you."Kary's gaze slides to mine in excitement, as if she's already guessed why her mother is saying that. "Does this mean... She won't be in our lives anymore?""Yes, baby." I nod. "We're finally getting a divorce.""Yay!" She claps her hands excitedly. "Thank you, daddy!" She wraps her small arms around my neck."I guess this is my cue to leave." Lucille's voice cracks with emotion as she finally realizes that even her daughter doesn't want her around. "Goodbye... Kareena. Can I hug you?"Kary literally recoils from her, burying her face in my neck. I stroke her back to calm her down and gesture for Lucille to leave. Thankfully, she listens to me and walks away."Is she gone?" Kary asks."Yes, baby." I reply. "You won't see her again if you don't want to.""I don't want to see her again." She reaches for Arian and I hand her over to Arian. "I love you, Arian. I want you to be my mother."Arian's wide eyed gaze sli
