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
Gab’s POV Just as I have suggested, Marco and I walked with extreme cautiousness not to wake Skye up in our holds as we crossed the distance of the bedroom from the living room. The funny thing about our move was not knowing where the room was exactly, and so, we had to check the rooms and doors that we passed by from where we started. Skye wouldn’t let any of our hands go, so we ended up sauntering and waltzing our way around the entire house until we found a room with a bed that would fit enough for the three of us. Because the couch would have been enough if we were just to find a small bed, since its size was similar to a single bed with a backrest. We could have squeezed ourselves and fit into it, but in the hope of finding a bed with enough room for us to be comfortable, Marco and I walked sideways, one after the other, and all ways possible to make our move careful not to wake Skye. To my relief, the bed we found, in the last door that we found as we trailed the inner hallwa
Skye’s POVI looked around. I couldn’t tell what time it was, but I could sense that it was already evening. “You were sound asleep but wouldn’t let our hands go off your holds, so we found a room with a bed to let you sleep more comfortably,” Marco answered. “Sorry, we fell asleep as well,” Gab added. I nodded. I was no longer holding their hands but a flash of something like fragments of memory popped into my mind. An image where I grabbed Gab's hand and I got his pinky but made sure he could not slip off from me. Then, next to it was the memory that I told Marco not to leave either.I was about to apologize, but my hands covered my face in more embarrassment when my tummy growled so loud for every one in the room to hear. My whole face heated and I couldn’t lift my head up and look at their faces. I was actually feeling a bit awkward to bother both of them to stay by my side while I was enjoying a peaceful slumber, but I was going to rub it off and pretend I was scared to be alo
Marco’s POV“Say ahhhhh…” I was surprised at how Skye was literally feeding Gab with the soup she had just spooned from her serving after blowing air on it to cool down. My eyes mindlessly traced every movement the two in front of me were doing, but they seemed to be acting so casually and not even mindful of my presence. To top it all off, Gab was joyfully receptive to Skye's offer to feed him. “You have to have a bite, just in case there is poison, Marco and I won’t be the only one to drop dead,” Skye playfully uttered. Gab coughed. He covered his mouth with his hands, as his coughing worsened due to combined laughter. Skye was sinisterly smiling and I could not help feeling smug. Her words seemed to comfort me and so the sourness I was feeling earlier was wiped away instantly. Gab also reacted quickly according to how he understood everything that was happening. But as they were too instantaneous, from smiling, he choked, only to burst out laughing again. “I intentionally used
