Tyron stood at the doorway of Arielle's house, holding a bottle of beer and reeking of alcohol all over his body When Gun was about to confront Tyron, whom they suspected of breaking into her house and attempting to kill her, she quickly held Gun back by the arm. She gently shook her head at him and pulled him back down beside her. She could feel Gun's suppressed anger within him. Who wouldn't be angry when the person you suspect of trying to kill you is right in front of you, but you can't confront or imprison him because you have no evidence against him?"Tyron? What are you doing here in such a state?" Claire quickly approached Tyron and tried to help him enter her house, as he was a bit wobbly and almost fell if Claire had not caught him in time.Arielle secretly sneered at him. So he was able to drive a car to her house and then he was going to fall right in front of her? What a big joke and drama. She knew he was just pretending to be drunk to make her feel guilty because she h
Arielle felt the call of nature, so she carefully got up from her bed. Her crutches were leaning against the side of her bed, so she didn't need to call anyone to help her get to the bathroom. She decided to take a shower to freshen up her whole body.The bruises on her body and face were not as dark anymore. Her broken bones were gradually healing, but she still couldn't move quickly or with force because she still felt the pain. The swelling in her foot had gone down, but it was still painful when she put her foot on the floor normally and she placed her weight on her feet. However, when she used the crutches, her foot didn't hurt as much, but the broken bones in her body were painful. She had no choice but to use the crutches when getting out of bed because her foot couldn't support the weight of her whole body.She walked carefully and slowly towards the cabinet to get her spare clothes, then placed them on the bed. She also walked slowly to the bathroom and stood under the show
After three weeks, Arielle's physical ailments have finally healed. Her normal strength has returned."You're strong again like a buffalo, Arielle. But you should be extra careful now so that what happened to you doesn't happen again," her doctor friend reminded her. Dr. Kim Salas visited her to make sure she was well."I know, Kim. And that's what I'm doing now. But I'm more at peace because I know someone is protecting me," she replied to her friend."So what's the status between the two of you now?" Kim suddenly asked, furrowing her brow."What's the status? With whom?" Kim rolled her eyes. "Who else would I be referring to other than you and your handsome bodyguard?" She gave her a teasing look and lightly bumped her arm."Crazy. What else would our status be other than the boss-employee?" she replied exasperatedly to Kim."Is that all?" she said with a hint of disappointment in her voice."Yes. That's all and nothing else. And one more thing, he already has a girlfriend who is b
Arielle was walking towards Tyron and Claire when the two saw her. Hope was evident on their faces because of her presence. She secretly smiled, as she had no intention of helping them. Why would she help them when she was there to take part in the drama?"I'm glad you're here, Arielle. Tell these two damn guards to let us in. They won't let us in the company," Tyron said to her with a smile. When he spoke to her, it was as if nothing had changed in their relationship. But he suddenly disappeared from his lips when he noticed Gun behind her. "Why is that man with you?" he asked her with a frown."He's my bodyguard, remember?" she replied with a smile. "Now tell me what's the problem.""Those foolish guards are preventing us from entering the company. You should fire those two because I don't want to see their faces again," said Claire angrily, as if she was giving orders to someone lower than her. But she didn't pay attention to her tone, instead, she faced the two guards who deserved
"Hi, Uncle Edgar," Arielle greeted the person who entered her office, one of the few people she trusted in the world."I heard you embarrassed Tyron and Claire even more outside the building," he said with a laugh as he entered the office."That's just suits for them, Uncle Edgar. If you think about it, what I did was a small thing compared to what they did to the company," she replied with annoyance in her voice. "And do you know they flaunted their arrogance in front of two security guards? It's a good thing the guards didn't budge to them," she added."I think those two won't just sit and do nothing to get back at us for losing their jobs. So you have to be very careful, Arielle," he warned her."You're right, Uncle Edgar. They're not the type to just stay quiet in a corner. But I think you should also be careful. They know it was really you who fired them from their jobs, so I'm sure they'll target you, not me."She couldn't help but feel worried for her Uncle Edgar. She considere
"What's happening here? Why didn't you call the guard to chase these people who are causing a scandal inside my company?" she asked the two employees who were talking to Cynthia and Lucy."Ma'am Arielle! It's good that you're here now." The two employees seemed relieved to see her back from her lunch outside.When Cynthia and Lucy saw her, they immediately rushed towards her, but they were unable to approach her as Gun's body quickly blocked them."What right do you have to fire my son?" Cynthia angrily shouted at her. With the volume of her voice, not just ten people were looking at them."I'm the owner of the company, remember? So I have all the rights to fire anyone I want to fire," she replied to her with a raised eyebrow. "But sad to say, it wasn't me who fired them from their jobs, but Uncle Edgar.""Because you are the owner of the company, I'm sure you told that old man to fire my brother and also Claire!" Lucy also shouted at her, her nostrils flaring with anger."Why would I
Arielle's steps were heavy as she walked into her house, followed by Gun who looked very serious."Good evening, Ma'am Arielle. Am I going to prepare the dinner?" Emma asked her with a smile as she met her in the living room.She was not in the mood, so she did not answer her maid's question. The maid watched her with a puzzled look as she went up the stairs."What happened to Ma'am Arielle? Did she and Gun have another lover's quarrel?" Laura asked Emma.She was only halfway up the stairs when she heard what Laura asked Emma. She stopped climbing the stairs and turned to the two maids "Gun is just my bodyguard and we will never have a relationship, the LQ you're talking about will never happen, okay?" she said to them with a serious face they both fell silent. She saw Gun standing near the two maids, also looking at her. But his face was still blank, so she didn't know what he was thinking when he heard what she said.She gave Gun a sharp look before continuing her interrupted climb
While they were eating breakfast, Arielle and Gun were silent in front of the table. The two maids felt awkward, so they quickly finished eating. Arielle and Gun were left, both feeling uneasy. Gun was the first to break the silence and approach Arielle."Look, Arielle. I'm sorry for what I said to you yesterday. I'm just worried about your safety," Gun said after taking a deep breath.Arielle looked at Gun's face. She could feel the sincerity in his voice, so she didn't resist anymore. Moreover, it didn't look good that they weren't talking to each other when they were in the same house and always together. Not only them but also the people around them were affected."I'm sorry too. I was being sensitive, maybe because I'm going through menopause," she joked to lighten the mood. She also didn't have any reason to tell Gun why she suddenly lost her mood these past few days. It would be embarrassing to admit to him that the reason she was in a bad mood was because she thought that he w
"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
