Arielle woke up a bit late that day. The sun was already high when she got up from bed. She quickly took a shower and then went out to go down to the kitchen and see what food Emma was cooking. She was feeling a bit hungry because she didn't eat much last night.Her disappointment and regret for not getting Gun as her driver-bodyguard still linger until now. She didn't want to hire someone else especially since she didn't know them yet. She didn't trust anyone she might get to protect her. They might just be blinded by the money if Claire and Tyron offer them a large amount, and instead of protecting her, they might be the ones to kill her.Although she didn't know Gun very well, she had a strong feeling that he could protect her from danger. She also had a strong feeling that Tyron couldn't bribe him, especially since their encounter didn't go well.She smiled when she smelled the delicious aroma of garlic frying in oil that Emma was cooking while walking down the stairs. Her smile w
"Here is your favorite milk, Love." Tyron handed her a glass of milk with a smile. To her, it seemed like the grin of a demon. His smile was frightening."Just place it on the table for now, I'll drink it later after I finish eating," she replied, trying hard not to show the fear she felt in front of the man.She took the medicine prescribed by her friend so she couldn't drink the milk Tyron was giving her. Kim had repeatedly told her not to drink that milk while she was taking the medicine to flush out the poison in her body. Kim warned her also that if she drank milk while still on medication, there would be a clash between the medicine and the poison residual in her body. Her life would be in danger if she didn't hurry to the hospital."No. I want you to drink this milk right now and after that, I promise I will leave," Tyron insisted. "I want to make sure that you consume this milk to ensure that you are drinking nutritious milk everyday."What you're saying is that you want to ma
Arielle felt a surge of joy upon hearing Gun's words to the people inside the room. He said that he was her bodyguard. Does this mean that he agrees to be her bodyguard? What about the beautiful woman who was with him? Did she allow him to quit his job? It seems that woman is not the type to just let someone like Gun go easily. She really wants to hear an answer to those questions in her mind but she knows this is not the right time for it. She still needs to explain to Tyron about Gun because she is sure he will not allow Gun to be her bodyguard. After all, it will ruin his plans against me."What is this, Arielle? Why does this man claim to be your bodyguard? When did you get a bodyguard and why don't I know about this?" Tyron angrily questioned her."Calm down, Tyron. I hired him because I need a bodyguard who can protect me all the time." She didn't use her endearment for Tyron because for some reason she didn't want Gun to hear her calling her boyfriend that way."Why indeed, Ar
Arielle spent only two days in the hospital, and Kim, her doctor friend, allowed her to recover at home. During those two days, Gun accompanied her and never left her side. After she was discharged, Gun went to his house to get clothes and personal belongings from his house. "When Gun returns, just accompany him to his room, Emma. Give him the adjacent room to mine so he can easily find me when I need him," she instructed the maid. The two maids wouldn't know which room to assign to Gun if he arrived suddenly while she was asleep so she just told Emma which room Gun would stay. "Yes, Ma'am Arielle," Emma replied, then flashed her a meaningful smile."What does that smile mean, Emma?" She seemed to guess what she was thinking. "Is Gun really just your driver-bodyguard, Ma'am Arielle? Isn't he courting you? It's unlikely for him to be just a driver-bodyguard because he's too handsome for this job. He's more suited to be your boyfriend-bodyguard."She chuckled lightly at Emma's remark
"What do you mean, Arielle? Is your boyfriend trying to kill you? Is he the one who poisoned you and made you end up in the hospital?" Gun asked, furrowing his brows.The truth was she didn't mean for Gun to hear the name she mentioned. She thought she only answered his question in her mind, but apparently not."Just forget what I said, Gun," she quickly said to him. Though she trusted him, she wasn't ready to tell him about Tyron and Claire."Forget it? After you've left me hanging in curiosity, you're going to tell me to forget what you said—"He raised his voice slightly, so she hurriedly covered his mouth with her hand to prevent him from speaking. She was worried that her two maids might hear his loud voice. She was sure that her maids would wonder if they were quarreling once they heard his loud voice."Lower your voice," she whispered, her one hand remained covering his mouth. She glanced worriedly towards the kitchen, checking for any indication of someone nearby.She breathed
Arielle noticed that Gun hadn't been talking to her much since last night. Maybe he's still mad at her because he thinks she sided with Tyron instead of him. They haven't been talking much so she hasn't been able to mention to him about the wedding. He will surely be surprised when Tyron's mother and sister arrive to discuss the wedding. "Why aren't you talking much to Gun, Ma'am Arielle? Are you two having an LQ?" Emma asked in a probing tone as she helped her prepare their lunch. Laura was off that day so she was helping Emma prepare their lunch."He just misunderstood me last night, Emma. But let's just leave him be. His tantrums will eventually disappear," she answered with a smile to her maid. She didn't pay attention to the "LQ" that she mentioned, which means lover's quarrel. She didn't have a relationship with Gun, so no LQ happened."I'll just call Gun outside so we can eat together, Ma'am Arielle," Emma said after they finished preparing the food.Gun was outside installing
"Are you not going to follow Gun, Ma'am Arielle? What if he never comes back? No one will save you if someone tries to harm you again," Emma asked her worriedly while they were sitting in the living room.She turned to her maid and shook her head. "No, Emma. Maybe he's not the right person to be my driver-bodyguard."Gun doesn't seem like a bodyguard. His actions and way of speaking don't fit the role of a bodyguard. Well, he's not really a bodyguard but just a driver. But even being a driver doesn't suit him either.Maybe Gun attended college but was not able to finish his studies. And maybe he was just forced to become the driver of that woman because she was his girlfriend and maybe the salary was too high."Maybe you should ask Sir Tyron's help in finding a bodyguard, Ma'am Arielle?" Emma suggested, which she immediately responded to with a strong refusal. If her bodyguard is from Tyron, she is sure that she won't last a week and she will become a cold corpse.Emma didn't say anyt
"Arielle! Wait!" She was about to get into her car when she heard the voice of her cousin Claire, who was running after her. She turned to look at her cousin and waited for her to approach her. "What's wrong with you, Arielle? That's not how you usually behave," Claire immediately asked when she was in front of her, with a hint of annoyance in her tone.She raised an eyebrow at Claire's way of questioning as if implying that she was the one at fault for what happened."What's wrong with me?" She slightly smirked before speaking again. "There's nothing wrong with me, Claire. For the first time in my life, I made the right choice.""What? You love Tyron so much and as far as I know, you have been dreaming of marrying him for a long time. And now that he has proposed marriage for the second time, you rejected him again. What is happening to you?"Claire looks very upset as if she was the one who proposed marriage to her and got rejected. But of course, her cousin will really be angry wit
"Yes. I will marry you, Gabriel," Arielle said tearfully, accepting Gabriel's marriage proposal. Why would she play hard to get when she truly wanted to marry him and become his wife?Gabriel's face lit up with immense joy upon hearing her answer. He embraced her tightly and lifted her, spinning her around in his happiness.After they were certain that Tyron and Claire could no longer escape the charges they filed against them, they decided to get married. Arielle was overjoyed because she was finally going to marry Gabriel. A day before her wedding to Gabriel, she suddenly remembered her parents' cellphone. With everything that had happened, she had forgotten about the phone she had sent for repair. She left her house and went to the cellphone repair shop."I thought you weren't going to get your phone back, Ma'am. I couldn't contact you because I lost the contact number you gave me," said the owner, sounding embarrassed. "It's okay, boss. I also forgot to pick up the phones becau
"Gabriel Adamson! What are you doing in my house?" Tyron angrily asked Gabriel, who responded with a strong punch to Tyron's stomach. The man kneeled on the floor while coughing. Gabriel's men, Harold, Tres, Dos, and Six quickly beats Tyron's men and throw them outside the house.Gabriel approached her and immediately untied her then hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry. I'm almost late. I almost lost you again."She hugged him tightly as well. She cried on his chest, not out of fear, but out of the joy of seeing him again. She missed him so much, but she was holding herself back from showing up in front of him again after her surgery. She wanted to be done with what she needed to do before facing Gabriel again."How did you know I was here?" she asked as she released herself from Gabriel's arms."It's Mr. Sanchez who told me you were going to come here to chase some dogs inside your house," he replied with a smile."Are you and Arielle acquainted, Gabriel Adamson?" Tyron asked Gabriel in d
When Arielle left Gabriel's house she first rented a small condo unit, then she arranged her documents to go abroad. With her money and the help of her Uncle Edgar, she quickly arranged her passport and US visa. After almost a month of waiting, she flew to America to have her face restored through plastic surgery.She chose to have the surgery from a famous plastic surgeon. And two weeks after arriving in America, she underwent an operation. The operation on her face lasted four hours. When she woke up, her entire face was wrapped in bandages.After two weeks, the doctor removed the bandage from her face. She cried when she saw that the appearance of her face had been restored. Even the small trace of the large scar on her face was gone, so she was extremely grateful to the doctor who operated on her face.After the bandage was removed from Arielle's face, she waited another month before returning to the country. And upon her return, her Uncle Edgar had a nice surprise for her. He had
Arielle woke up and Gabriel was no longer by her side. She smiled sweetly as she remembered their passionate lovemaking. However, the smile faded and was replaced by worry, as she feared that Gabriel might think she gave herself to him too quickly since they had just met. He might think that she was an easy-to-great woman.She admitted that she thinks Gabriel is a Gun and the latter not just didn't remember her. They had known each other for a long time, so she didn't hesitate to give herself to him a second time. She thought that the two were just one person. She took a deep breath and tried to remove the worries she felt from her mind.She got up from the bed and looked at the time on the wall clock. It was only 4 in the afternoon. She thought it was already night but it wasn't.She got down from the bed and went to the bathroom to take a bath. She didn't bother to put on the clothes she had taken off because she was alone in her room. She was happy that the pain in her foot did not
Arielle admitted the whole truth to Gabriel about the secret she was hiding. She didn't hide anything except the part where her mind time-traveled to the past while she was unconscious. She thought he would get mad at her because she lied to him, but his face only darkened after learning everything, and he carried her back into her room."Don't move. I'll just get some ice and medicine so your foot won't swell up too much and the pain will go away," Gabriel said to her before leaving the room. He was only gone for a few minutes, and when he returned, he was carrying a tray with a glass of water, medicine, and two ice packs. "Here. Take this medicine to reduce the pain."She was like an obedient child who followed what Gabriel told her without complaint."Won't you fire me because I lied to you, Boss?" she couldn't help but ask after she took the medicine.From her feet where the icepack was applied, Gabriel's serious face rose to her face. "Why? Do you want me to chase you out of my h
Arielle ran quickly towards the stairs and as she was running, she put her cellphone in the pocket of the pants she was wearing."Come back, Arielle!" she heard Tyron's voice as he chased her.She did not look back and just kept running down the stairs. But unfortunately, her right foot suddenly stumbled when she was on the fifth step from the bottom. She screamed as she rolled down the stairs.Even though she was hurt from falling down the stairs, she quickly got up. But she suddenly sat down because the pain in her right foot, the one she slipped on, was searing. She was worried that Tyron might be close by, so she looked up the stairs. But when she turned the stairs, she was met with a strong slap from Tyron's hand, who had apparently approached her. The force of his slap made her sit on the floor."Did you think you could escape us, Arielle? You're mistaken! Because we won't let you leave with the video of Tyron and me on your phone," said Claire as she walked down the stairs. She
Arielle woke up early that morning and took a bath before going out of the room and then went down to the living room. She thought she was the first to wake up, but that was not the case because she was already on the third step of the stairs when she saw the man sitting in the living room, reading the newspaper while drinking coffee. The stairs in Gabriel's house are circular, so she doesn't see him sitting in the living room right away.She slowly turned around to go back upstairs, but Gabriel saw her and his forehead wrinkled when he saw that she was planning to go back upstairs."Did you forget something upstairs?" Gabriel asked her. She slowly turned around again to face him and smiled slightly while shaking her head. "Come here," he ordered her.She nervously walked towards Gabriel. Luckily, she had applied concealer on her scar before going out in her room, so he didn't see her big and ugly scar again."What will be my job, Boss?" she asked him as she approached him."Sit down,
Arielle was brought by Gabriel to his very large house. When she got out of his car, she realized that it was not only Harold who was always with him, but also six other muscular men who got out of the car and followed them. "Are they your men?" she asked Gabriel as she looked at the six men standing beside the car, seemingly waiting for Gabriel to go inside the house. "If you want to work in my house, then don't ask too many questions," Gabriel replied to her with a serious expression before walking into the house. "Our boss, Harold, is so grumpy. I was just asking a question, and he got angry right away," she said irritatedly to Gabriel's driver. Harold laughed when he heard what she said, and even the six men working for Gabriel couldn't help but laugh. "That's just how the Boss is, but he's kind and generous," Harold replied with a smile. "Right, guys?" he asked his six companions. "Harold is right, Miss Arielle. Our Boss is kind even though his face is always serious a
Arielle went back to the cellphone repair shop to pick up her parents' phones that she had brought in. She couldn't wait to know what had happened to the cellphones so she went into the repair shop even if the owner of the shop hadn't called her.This time, she no longer had to check if the mother and daughter were downstairs or in their room so she could escape because, after the confrontation, the two women had been avoiding her, which was better for her to move around freely."I'm sorry for coming to your shop even though you haven't called me yet. I was just too anxious to know if the phones were already fixed or not," Arielle apologized to the shop owner."I'm sorry but I haven't fixed your cellphone yet, Ma'am. I'll just call you when it's okay," the shop owner replied shyly.She felt a mix of sadness and disappointment when she heard what the man said. She could do nothing now but wait for the cellphone to be fixed. And she hoped it would be fixed as soon as possible so she cou
