"Stop staring at me like that." I hiss at Corey, who hasn't stop looking at me like I suddenly grew an extra head.
"Why shouldn't I? Can't you see what's happening here? Mom called a family meeting, something she hasn't done in years just because of you. You really should be proud of yourself." He says, obviously trying to mock me.
Mom had suddenly called yesterday and she asked that she wanted to meet with all five of us and it honestly had to be the most surprising thing ever because the last time she did something like this was the week dad died and for her to call this sort of gathering out of the blue means she's about to go off on someone and I have a feeling it's gonna be me.
"Corey, Liam, not today." Tyler warns strictly.
"Tell that to that idiot not me." I hiss under my breathe, earning a displeased look fr
GABRIELLE. "She did what?" I ask in a sharp tone, staring at my mom with wide eyes. "You heard me right sweetie. Your stupid sister had the effrontery to visit Martin's dad and she even had the audacity to threaten him like the fool she is." Mom repeats herself and honestly, I'm surprised. I never would have imagined that Ella would be stupid enough to walk into the lion's den and even go as far as threatening the lion. Even I, would not do something so foolish. "Does that girl have any idea who David Deville is? Didn't she do her research?" I ask rhetorically, shaking my head at how terrible the consequences of her actions would be. Martin's dad is the complete opposite of Martin himself. While I'd say Martin is a big idiot who has no ambition and no sense of reasoning, his father would be the total opposite of that. Mr Devill
Gabrielle. "Do I really have to come with you?" Mia sulked for the umpteenth time, still trying to get out of coming with me to see Gabriella. "Yes, you have to come with me Mia and I already told you this a thousand times. I don't think I can go there by myself and I need you to help me keep up with the pretence," I respond, feeling sick and tired of having to repeat myself. "Why me though? You know I hate her just as much as you do!" she said and I scowled. "Really Mia? Really?" I asked and she rolled her eyes. "Okay, maybe not as much as you do but I still hate her and I'm not exactly the best at pretending. I don't even get
Gabriella. I paced around the living room impatiently as countless theories and possibilities started to flood my thoughts at once, making me feel slightly nauseous and nervous. I've been pretty restless for the last few days after noticing Liam's strange behaviour and as much as I don't want to admit it, I have a feeling I'm the reason he's suddenly being so off and distant. There's definitely something he's keeping from me and the fact that he wasn't sharing whatever it was that bothered him made me feel ten times worse and even if whatever he's going to say would hurt my feelings, I needed to know as soon as possible so I don't end up losing my mind over it. He normally used to come back home around 6pm but nowadays, he suddenly started to come home pretty late an
Gabrielle. My eyes scanned the environment as soon as I parked my car and as much as I wasn't expecting anything worth looking at, I didn't expect the place to look so horrifying and disgusting. To think my silly rage and my thirst for revenge actually drove me here today just so I can personally teach that loud brat a lesson. "Doesn't exactly look like a palace, does it?" a familiar husky voice says suddenly and I turn around to see Chris, one of my mom's hitmen who I had the misfortune of having to inherit. "I wasn't exactly expecting to see a palace or anything but I'll be honest, it's worse than I thought," I confessed and he stared back at me coldly. "It's actually the most decent one we h
Gabriella. FLAMES! That was all I could see right at this very moment. Everything around me spun around in 360° and my heart felt like it was just about to jump right out of my body. "Excuse me Sir, what's happening? How did this happen?" I could hear Liam faintly asking the people around but right after that, my eardrums started to feel like they were burning from the inside. I could neither hear or see anything aside from the terrible fire that the firefighters were trying so hard to put out. A few feet away from me was an ambulance that I suppose is here to carry Katherine's body away. Apparently, they found a gunshot wound to her stomach which means that definitely, her death is
Gabriella. "Is everything okay Gaby?" Fabian asked worriedly. "Me? Of course, I am. Do I look like something's wrong with me?" I replied, staring back at him confusedly. "No, it's not Gaby. It's just, I'm worried about how you're holding up mentally. I mean come one dear, I know you and I know very well that you are acting like everything is okay with you but then with everything that's been happening around you lately, I know for a fact that it's affecting you mentally and I want you to know that you can always talk to me about anything and that I'll always be here for you when you need me," he replied and I sighed. Truth is, he isn't exactly wrong about everything not bei
Gabrielle. I walked into the hotel with my head high, trying as much as I could to keep my face as expressionless as possible. I knew for a fact that my decision to come here was literally me walking straight into the lion's den but lately, I can't help but enjoy putting myself in difficult positions. I couldn't even bring myself to tell my mom about this cause I knew for a fact that she would try to talk me out of it by giving me a million reasons why it would be a bad idea and since I didn't really care much about her opinions anymore, I decided against letting her know anything. At the end of the day, even she would do exactly what I'm doing cause we're not that different after all. "Hi, good afternoon," I greeted the hotel receptionist with a small smile.
LIAM "Mom, you still haven't told me what you're doing here and why you're sitting so quietly," I said to my mom, who suddenly walked in here about ten minutes ago and still hasn't said a word. "This is my company Liam and I can walk into wherever I like, whenever I like," she retorted and I couldn't help but stare back at disdainfully. "Agreed mom, it's your company and there's no doubt about that but just a reminder this is my office and you can't just barge in here and not tell me exactly what brings you here in the first place," I snapped back at her, not exactly in the mood to deal with her tantrums today. "Let me ask you something Liam, do you really love me as your mother? Do you genuinely care about me l
