"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
Arielle had just woken up when she received a panic call from her secretary, Mely. Her secretary informed her that all the shareholders were in the meeting room and an emergency meeting was taking place. Tyron and Claire were also inside the meeting room. The board wanted to make Tyron the CEO and Claire the Vice-president.Mely did not know what to do, so she immediately called Arielle to inform her about what was happening in her company. Mely also told her that she was not allowed to enter the meeting to listen to their conversation.When Arielle heard the news, she didn't bother to take a bath and quickly got dressed in her office clothes and then called Gun as soon as she was ready. Fortunately, Gun was always an early riser and had already bathed, so he was ready to go as soon as Arielle came out of her room."What's the sudden rush, Arielle? You haven't even had breakfast or taken a bath yet but we're already heading to your office?" asked Gun as they were inside her car and on
"Arielle! Stop humiliating the board members! You should respect what decision they made," Tyron scolded her sternly."Stop humiliating them? Respect their decision? Am I a fool in your eyes, Tyron?" Arielle gave an insulting laugh at her ex-boyfriend. "I can see that your face is much thicker than those members of the board who were trying to place you in a seat that doesn't fit you, Tyron."Tyron's face suddenly flushed with anger and his gaze sharpened at her. "It's their decision and not mine, Arielle. During the years you've been the CEO, you've also relied on me. So you can't blame them for choosing me as the CEO instead of you," Tyron replied firmly, with a tone of insult in his voice."Tyron was right, Arielle. You are still running to him when it comes to decisions in the company even though you are the CEO. And the company will be better off if Tyron becomes the CEO," Claire also said, who is in favor of making her ex-boyfriend the CEO. Of course, the two of them will benefi
Without a word, Gun quickly kicked the man holding Arielle. The man's body was thrown and crashed against the wall. Arielle then hugged Gun tightly."Thank you for coming," she said in a weak voice."It's nothing," Gun replied."And what is a lowly bodyguard doing inside the meeting room?" Tyron spoke in an insulting tone to Gun. "Leave now if you don't want to be dragged out by the guards."Gun just smirked at Tyron. "You speak as if you're the owner of this company when you don't have even 1 percent of the shares. I really admired the thickness of your face, Tyron." Gun returned Tyron's insulting gaze. "And which guard are you going to call to drag me out? The guard outside who is now sleeping? Or that guard over there who is struggling to stand?"Tyron's fists were clenched and he couldn't speak. His eyes were almost spitting fire with anger at Gun."It's him! That man is the reason why she didn't accept Tyron's marriage proposal. Because she has a relationship with another man. Sh
When Tyron arrived at their house, he immediately started throwing away the things he saw with his own eyes. He was very furious at Arielle. The victory that was in his hands slipped away. But he was even angrier at her bodyguard. If Gun had not arrived and saved Arielle, that woman couldn't do anything. He should have been the new CEO of the company."What happened, Tyron? Why are you so angry?" his mother asked him in surprise."That shameless woman and her bodyguard sabotaged my plan to take over the company, Mom! Victory was in my hands but it slipped away!" The anger he felt now was so intense, and if Arielle were in front of him, he would surely have tried to kill her again."Who are you referring to, Tyron? Is it your ex-boyfriend and his handsome bodyguard?""Who else, Aunt? It's those two and no one else." Claire answered Tyron's mother's question. "But that man is not handsome. Your son is far more handsome than him, and that man is also arrogant," Claire added with a frown.
Arielle almost screamed when she woke up the next morning and saw Gun sitting on the edge of her bed, staring intently at her. She didn't know if he had been staring at her for a long time or if he had just entered her room."You gave me a shock, Gun. What are you doing in my room?" she asked him, pulling the blanket up to her chest. Luckily, she wasn't wearing a thin nightgown, so the man didn't see through her body."Your maids told me you didn't have dinner last night. And why didn't you change into your sleepwear?" He looked at the clothes she was wearing for office work. She hadn't been able to change her clothes last night because she was so tired. But when she woke up, she lost her mood to get dressed when she found out that Gun had left and gone to see his girlfriend, so she just went back to sleep."I'm too tired and sleepy to change my clothes last night," was her simple reply. She was waiting for Gun to come out of his room so she could wash her face and brush her teeth. Sh
"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
