Silent Cry Chapter 25 - Vacation
3rd Person's POVThe swaying reeds on the roadside are fanning cold air to the inside of the car. 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
Silent Cry Chapter 26 - Rare
3rd Person's POVA week had passed after that vacation that turned nightmare. They returned home and returned to how they were. But the girl has become so restless for the whole week doing her proper jobs, or should she say slavery.Every morning, she'd wake up at dawn to check the roses, wear the custom-made apron that Pauline made her in assisting in the kitchen, the apron was so cute anyway, she would also remove specks of dust in every corner of the lounge area, purify the pool water, and prepare Xander's bath. While Xander is in the bathroom, Gabbie would sneak to his walk-in closet to prepare his suit. The stylists sure taught her but she cannot possibly master that, so she matches Xander's outfit based on her taste.The man sometimes changes some stuff such as the color of his necktie or watch. But whenever Xander goes down wearing the exact outfit that Gabbie prepared, she would feel very proud. She can become a stylist in this state.When Xander finally leaves to work, Gabbie
Silent Cry Chapter 27 - Party
3rd Person's POVGabbie wore her 4-inch shining silver heels as the last touch. Everyone in the room has the same look of amazement and awe at the woman's radiating beauty. She is now facing the whole body mirror, examining herself. She is clad in a bloody red off-shoulder gown with a slit up until her thighs. Her hair is a curled plait braid that shows off her fancy silver dangler earrings. Her lowered sweetheart gown neckline also reveals her collar bone and her silver infinity-designed necklace. It's totally appealing yet the girl can't seem to gather her confidence and sporadically deepens her breathing."You're such a gorgeous lady, Ma'am. No wonder Sir Xander had gone head over heels for you," the main stylist teased the woman but she did not believe one bit of it, of course. They are hearing lots of rumors for sure."I'm sure Mrs. Evans is a lot more beautiful from the inside. Sir Xander must be thanking the stars for sending him an angel," the assistant stylist added and they
Silent Cry Chapter 28 - Brawl
3rd Person's POVIt was a tranquil Saturday morning. Gabbie is sitting on a dock above a pond and enjoying the activities of some tiny and brightly-colored fishes."It looks peaceful in there," Gabbie catches sight behind to check who was coming and she saw a familiar man in his formal suit walking towards her. He was the man whom she talked with on her wedding day."Jameson, remember?" That just confirmed her thoughts."Yes," she answered without frills and the man sat on the empty chair beside her. They are both looking over the pond."Though you don't ask, I am here to get some files from Sir Xander's office on his request," he glimpsed at her side quickly and so was Gabbie. She beamed at him and nodded."I see," It's the weekend but Xander must be in the office to deal with unfinished businesses but Gabbie is not someone who would ask about that in detail. If she was a loved wife then it would give her a little spine to act as one and use her privilege to ask what she's baffling a

3rd Person's POVXander was called to the Chairman's office, to his father. It was the first call he received in the early Monday morning.He went straight there and already prepared himself for the worst. His prospect was somehow worth it as the moment he stepped a meter apart from his father, he received a hard slap. He was unmoved from where he stood and the chairman slapped him again on the other side.Serving him right, is what his father thinks. Those slaps are too little to be a rebuke for the imprudent thing he made. But Xander was not repenting one bit. That jerk deserves it, he believes."How can you lose control like that? You're such an idiot, you know that?" his father pointed to his forehead and pushed it hard multiple times, amplifying foolishness."How should we explain that dispute, Xander you tell me!" He is getting so enraged the more he thinks of what happened."We don't have to explain," after saying that, he received a kick that caused him to fall to the ground.

Xander's POVI am the worst human being and I mean it when I say that. Ever since I heard about Kiel whom she loved all these times, my blood couldn't stop boiling. I absolutely hate it. I doubt that she plans to run away with that man but I still felt insecure, possessive, and obsessed!I fucking forced myself on her. I fucking raped my wife. Shit! I keep on banging my head above my desk. I deserve all this torment my brain gives me coz I don't have the right brain to start with.I woke up early that day, or maybe because I didn't fall asleep at all. I felt so jerk albeit I am always a jerk, especially at that moment. What the hell did I just do to this innocent angel?She fell deep asleep due to exhaustion. Her face was soaked with sweat and her breathing was not calm at all. I slowly caressed her hair out from her face. I got some tissues from the side drawer and smoothly wiped her face, making sure it would not wake her up. Observing her sleep gave me a little serene though I know

But Xander arrived there less than half an hour.His father sensed something bad already from the way his son came that almost tore down the walls. "Explain to me, everything," he commanded without a bit of respect. His father wasn't moved at all and sat there on his chair as comfortably as before."What is there to explain?" he asked. Xander knew that his father knew he was coming that is why he didn't even winced when he came uninvited.'Fuck Brandon!'"That was right, Brandon fucking harassed Gabbie's mother eight years ago.
