Gab’s POV
“With the commotion that occurred here, the authorities will no doubt be here very soon,” I said to Winston when he asked me what to do next. “I don’t want her to get exposed, so we are leaving the building.”
“The whole area is already surrounded. You might not see it, but there are a lot of authorities hiding everywhere and would grab anyone that would step out of this building,” he answered.
I was taken aback.
“What are you talking about?”
I stared at the man sharply.
“Who are you?!” I asked again. This time my tone was a bit harsh. But recalling how this man was he
Marco’s POV As soon as the news reached my knowledge about the sudden sound of gunfire in the building where Skye and Gab were said to be holding a funeral for the Naharts, I ordered all my men to gear up because we were leaving as soon as possible. I was worried Skye and Gab would insist I stay down, I did not contact them until I was ten minutes away from arriving at their location. Just as I anticipated, Skye tried to talk me out of it. But I remained firm with my decision. Not a chance will I let her be in such a dangerous place, even if she wasn’t alone, because Gab was with her. But I needed to be right next to her! With her identity that I have found out, although I am still in awe and greatly bewildered, I cannot hold myself back to see her and tell her the news about her parents. “Marco, you can’t be here with us, stay outside and stand by, we will call you when we need your help. Right now, I really doubt your presence here would mean anything with sense,” Skye said ov
Winston’s POVI sent the three right to the door of Mister Nahart’s hidden home. I was not sure who the new guy is but I am glad to know that with how I can see from the eyes of this man, he is as protective as the man named Gabby. Considering the situation right in front of our faces, all hands willing to help will be welcome and appreciated.On my way back to the hotel lobby, I contacted the appointed commander of the secret army that I had summoned to assist us in the building earlier.“Stand by. Keep a safe distance. I have men blending in the crowd and in the surroundings to help me if the situation becomes difficult to handle.”Then I dialed the direct line connecting to Mister Goerge Nahart.
Marco’s POV“Are we safe here?” I asked as soon as we got into the door which was said to be the door to where Skye and Gab were supposed to find refuge before I came. “I believe so,” Skye answered. “I will check the monitors first. You too, catch up, I will join you, guys, as soon as I am done checking things around the place for security,” Gab rushed walking deeper into the house, I guess, to do just as he had told us. “Okay,” Skye answered readily.I nodded in response but as Gab had his back to me, I don’t know if he saw my gesture, but I believe he did not have to wait for my reply. “There is a room where we can see what is going on outside,” Skye said as if informing me the details of the place. “I believe that is where Gab was heading to, let’s check and see for ourselves if we are safe to get out of here or if it would be better to stay down and wait a little more,” she added, walking in the same direction where Gab went.But instead of saying anything, I couldn’t help sta
Gab’s POVI noticed Marco was engrossed in his thoughts, but I did not say anything until I heard him say something which I was almost convinced he did not mean to say out loud, yet his words reached my ears and I could not let it slip away. “Yeah, if you are that worried, tell me first and I will help you explain everything to her later when she wakes up,” I said as cautiously as I heard him say those words earlier. Just as I expected, he was surprised to find out I heard him talking. But Marco must have taken the logic of my words, because after a few moments of thought, he started to open up. “Remember the girl I have been looking for all these time?” Marco asked.His voice was in control as if he was worried Skye would suddenly wake up and hear our conversation before he could tell me everything there was for him to share with me before telling Skye. I nodded. I was feeling the weird sensation that somehow, the next word Marco was going to say would be the same thoughts that I
Marco’s POV“What happened to that asshole?” I asked Gab with eagerness. I haven’t had the chance to even think or care about what happened then because Skye and Gab were not by my side when I woke up. I wasn’t even able to recall what happened before I fell into a deep slumber, which I also just realized I had been asleep for days when Naomi and Matt told me everything about my condition. But with all that concerned me being the absence of the two important people in my life, I was so preoccupied to care and ask what happened in my office that day when I went to meet Rolan Leblanc. “I couldn’t believe Skye was capable of doing such thing, but after checking every corner of your office and saw no one else was there aside from the three of you, just as I left to stand by the door,” Gab paused to have a sip of his drink and after swallowing a small amount, he shook his head and with a proud smile, he continued telling me the most fascinating story I think I have ever heard, with his
Gab’s POVIt must have been the fact that I know how hard it had been for my best friend Marco to find the girl that his foster parents had asked him to find in their last will and testament. I was filled with pure joy when Marco said he had finally found her. “How? I mean, yeah…. How?” I asked with bedazzlement. I couldn’t begin to say the words that I was so curious about, but I think Marco himself understood how I was feeling and reacting to everything he had just said. My eyes flew to look at Skye’s direction. “I saw similar pictures in the vault with the pictures Skye had in the moving boxes back at her place. I did not know it was what made me feel so restless while waiting for you guys to return, but I let my guts lead me and it brought me home. I was not sure what I was looking for, or whatever I was dragging my feet to look inside the walk-in vault back at the mansion, but I kept looking around,” Marco said with clear excitement. “I wish I was there the whole time everyth
Skye’s POVI couldn’t breathe…. It felt like something was tightly gripping my heart and I needed to grasp enough air that my lungs seemed wildly demanding to be filled with. I didn’t know what happened before I heard a familiar soothing voice comforting me with warm and gentle rubs and pats on my back and arms. For a moment, I couldn’t feel anything other than extreme sadness. ‘What was I so sad about?’No matter how hard I try to recall what just happened a while ago, I could not remember anything! I tried to keep my eyes closed hoping whatever was making me feel so much heartache right now. A funny thought crossed my mind that if I tried to open my eyes, something like an invisible line would be cut and I would not get the answer I was hoping to get. I wanted to believe that whatever it was, it would remain as a nightmare and never happen for real. With how I was gravely saddened, even if it was just a dream, I did not want this feeling to be reality, one way or another. But wh
Marco’s POV I could not define nor interpret well, how and what was making Skye shake in fear. But as I was holding her tightly in my arms to calm her down, I noticed, it was more of sadness that she was reacting to. My thoughts seemed to be confirmed by the way she spoke to answer our worried reactions to her sudden burst of screams, although she said she could not recall what made her feel so sad, her answer satisfied my assumptions. Her words were spoken like she had no strength left to even speak as if the sadness she was feeling had drained her out unimaginably. I was thankful when Gab said he was going to get a glass of water for Skye, I also believed she needed that but I admit, I only recalled that when Gab offered to do it himself. But just as Gab was about to take a step away to get that glass of water as he mentioned, I felt like Skye’s sadness worsened. “Please, tell me, what do you want me to do?” I heard Gab ask. It must have been due to Skye facing his direction wh
