Silent Cry Chapter 18 - Preparation
3rd Person.The opening of the sliding door breaks off Gwyneth from making some coffee, a glimpse of rejoice embraced her upon seeing Gabbie on the door. They both hugged each other tightly before the visitor who happened to be the patient's daughter walked towards her tranquil father.She sat on a stool on the side of the bed and raised her father's left hand to press it between her two hands. "Dad, I'm getting married in a week," she almost whispered and a tear fell like a sudden raindrop as she sniveled. Gwyneth paid attention to this and also wailed. The day is finally coming and if there was a tiny bit of hope in them before to get away, there is none anymore. No one knew the exact date of the wedding before, sure they thought it would be at least months later but Mr. Alejandro is rushing things for a reason they wouldn't know. Gabbie cried for minutes there burying her face in her father's cold hands. It was like being sentenced to life imprisonment for a crime that was just a
Silent Cry Chapter 19 - Changes
Gabbie.Petals scattered all over the altar, few seats arranged in a semi-slant manner giving a wonderful space for the bride to walk down. The breeze gives a soft blow to our skin that somehow enlightens the discreet fear behind celebratory smiles.We chose a garden wedding located at one of Evans' vacation villas with only a few VVIP guests attending. But the media will make it possible for a live audience in their cozy homes.I wore the wedding gown that I chose on that day when I and Xander shopped clothes. I keep on heaving deep sighs as I study the lonely figure staring back at me in this huge mirror. I can tell I was beautified. My skin gleaming and my eyes radiate innocence. I look like a princess on the outside but I can't avoid seeing myself from within—the Gabbie that's far from being a fairy tale character.I was jarred from my reverie when someone sat on my side. I didn't feel his presence upon walking towards me but I saw his reflection from the mirror and that's when I
Silent Cry Chapter 20 - High
3rd Person.The end of a vague dream has awakened Gabbie from an unexpected sound sleep. She opened her eyes and waited for her vision to clear up. She first saw a blurry human figure beside her until after a few eyes scratches and blinks, she wraps her mind around that 'yeah, I just got married yesterday.' Waking up with him should not make her caught on the hop but what stupefied her was the way the man is looking at her right now.Xander was awake minutes ago and kept on gazing at her little wife who's now hugging him. Gabbie realized that in no time and tried to remove her hand from wrapping Xander but to her chagrin, the man held her arm instead to stay in its place and even did the same to the woman. They are now swaddling each other's waists. 'Why am I facing him right now? Did I do that while sleeping?' That's all she could think and embarrassment took over her.Xander's lips lifted to the side as if poking fun of the blushing mess girl beside him. His eyes were still glued t

3rd Person.3 DAYS LATER"Oh, you're back! That's too soon," Jameson greeted the man sitting on his chair already after just three days of honeymoon. He even arrived at the company before the employees and Jameson."Do you expect me to have a whole week leave?""Yes! It should be more than just a week. What happened? Is the honeymoon boring?" and he gave a teasing laugh to Xander who immediately shook his head."Nah, I actually had a blast," he corrected and that made the story-digger widen his eyes."Ohh you must have the steamiest nights of your life. How far did you go?" He sounded so malicious."Very high," a smile lets out from his mouth unconsciously. "We had camped.""Wait, what?" Jameson was totally enjoying the kink when he realized that the last sentence was told too serious to be a joke. "Camping, you say?"Xander nodded."You're a saint, Xander. Should I praise you now? What the hell!""What's the matter with that? The trip was so fun!""That's totally not you. Look, you're
Silent Cry Chapter 22 - Tears
Gabbie's POVThe morning light from my window was my constant alarm clock but not this morning. I felt something sore and heavy below my blanket and that's when I was brought back to reality. In just a second after that, all the happenings last night, one after one, run through my mind. Every detail was very lucid and every feeling remains on me being the pain as the most haunting.I moved my head to see the empty space on the other side of my bed as well as the noiseless and neat surroundings of my room as if everything is accustomed. It's the same morning I wake up to, the same color, the same interior...I am the only one who's not anymore the same.I tried to lift my legs but with every move, the ache intensifies and I couldn't do anything but endure it and climb down the bed still covered with the whole blanket because I am dirty naked. I stood up and noticed the bloodstain on the bed covering. The last night's havoc appeared vivid once more. My heart sinks as if drowned in a deep

But it's 7 am at the moment and I heaved a deep breath.Another day of sorrow.I got up and went straight to the bathroom. I must have a limpid mind to cope with everything.An early knock on my door had me hasten my actions to respond to it quickly. I went out of the bathroom, wiped myself clean, and opened the door only to see Belle that is clad with her bright smile."Good morning Ma'am. I'm here to tell you that Sir Xander wants to see you. He is in his office," she declared and I replied nicely. Her tone was very calm. Little did she know how terrifying that summon is. But it's not like I can do something about it. Albeit my heart instantly raced after hearing his name in the earl
Silent Cry Chapter 24 - Pressure
Gabbie's POV"G-Good evening, Sir." I stammered while walking step by step towards them. I was double thinking whether to join this conclave or to stay out of it."Come, sit," he confirmed so I obediently sat beside Xander on the couch, facing Mr. Alejandro on the other side. I was calculating the distance I should give to Xander when I sat on his side. I settled on two feet but to my surprise, he held my waist to pull me closer and kissed the side of my head.I gasped but was unnoticed since he spoke immediately after kissing me. "How's your day, my wife?"I looked at him with my half bewilderment. It's because I can somehow smell what he is trying to act. I met his eyes and finally substantiate my thoughts. His eyes say it all behind his grin."Great! I had a great day," I said while looking into his eyes.He widen his smile and caressed my waist. "Good to hear," he ended."I can see you've adjusted to each other very quickly." Mr. Alejandro shut the sudden eye battle between me and

They kept the windows open throughout the drive just to lessen the pressure that smother them, particularly Gabbie. She has been silent ever since they pound the pavement. Meanwhile, the man in the driver's seat was constantly receiving calls from people Gabbie doesn't have an idea of. Yet, from the way Xander was addressing them, she perceived them to be close acquaintances."Of course! That would be fun! Ok cool. I'm in!" those are a few of his answers to someone on the line. Gabbie does not seem to care and would never ask about it either.Rule number three of the contract: Don't intervene with my business and personal life.There were a few more phone calls Xander entertained that eventually gave sound to their quiet journey, at least. It would be so much of an awkward silence if there were none. Gabbie could only sigh.Not so long after, they finally arrived at the vacation house. Th
