Arielle was able to pass the 24-hour critical stage as stated by the doctor, so her condition has stabilized and she has been transferred to a private room. During the days when Arielle was unconscious, Gun did not leave her side. He is afraid that the person who ordered to kill her might find out that she has survived and order someone to kill her again in the hospital. It's better to be sure and safe and be sorry and regretted later.After four days of being unconscious, Arielle finally woke up. She immediately noticed Gun sitting and leaning back on the chair, sleeping while holding one of her hands. She feels like a warm hand touches her heart. She couldn't deny that she felt very happy the person she cared about the most was the one she saw when she opened her eyes."Gun," she called out in a hoarse voice. "Gun, wake up" she repeated, calling his name when he did not wake up from her first call.Gun was finally awakened when he heard her faint voice. He immediately stood up from
Gun had just finished bathing that evening when he received a call from his police friend, Major Rex David. He informed him that he had apprehended the person who stabbed Arielle. Since Gun could not leave Arielle's house as she was alone, he instructed Rex to bring the person to Arielle's house.After talking to his friend on the phone, he opened his app which was connected to the monitors of all the CCTV cameras in Arielle's entire house, including the inside of her room. Only the bathroom was not fitted with a CCTV camera to give her privacy.Arielle knows that there is a CCTV inside her room and she does not object to it because it is also for her safety, so she agreed to have it installed. When he saw on the monitor that Arielle was sleeping soundly, he took his silenced gun and then went out of his room to wait for the arrival of Rex together with the man he had been looking for for several weeks with the help of his friend.It wasn't long before his friend arrived with his two
Claire stepped out onto the terrace of Tyron's condo wearing only a thin bathrobe. She saw him sitting quietly, drinking alcohol and staring off into the distance. She approached him and hugged him from the back."What are you thinking, Babe? Why do you look so deep in thought?" She nuzzled his neck and gently pressed her nose against it, intending to rekindle his desire. She frowned when instead of his desire being awakened, he seemed irritated with her. "What's your problem, Tyron? I've noticed you've been like this for a few days. Whenever I try to be affectionate, you pull away. Don't you like me anymore?"Tyron turned to face her and took a deep breath. "It's not like that, Claire. I've just been thinking about the person who ordered to kill Arielle aside from us. It seems that person's anger towards Arielle is greater than us, and he has many people working for him.""Perhaps that person has a deep grudge against my cousin, which is why he has such a strong desire to kill Ariell
"Arielle couldn't believe that the woman whose hands were tied behind the chair and was in front of her was the old woman she had helped when her fruits had fallen. She was not an old woman anymore, but rather a young one. In her opinion, their ages were not far apart. Maybe this one was just a few years older than her, or maybe even younger, but the hardship had aged her appearance.It turned out that the woman had only used prosthetic makeup to make herself look like an old woman so that she would lower her guard against her and she would not doubt that she was an accomplice of the person who was trying to kill her.The woman gave a slight smile when she saw Arielle enter the room. "You're really so lucky, Arielle. Even though they've tried to kill you several times, you're still alive. Is that how it is when you have a lot of money?""It's because I am a good person. Because I do not hurt or trample on anyone, that is why God takes pity on me. Money has nothing to do with my luck.
Tyron and Claire were leaving his condo when they were suddenly confronted by the police led by Major Rex David, a friend of Gun."What does this mean? Why are you arresting me? What crime have I committed against the law?" Tyron asked the police in a panic as they were putting handcuffs on him."We are arresting you on the charge of attempted murder of Miss Arielle Simpson. You are free to get your lawyer, Mr. Delavin. And remember that everything you say can be used against you, so you can explain yourself at the police station," Rex said sternly before ordering the other officers to bring Tyron to the police station."Wait! Wait! You can't take my boyfriend! I won't allow it!" Claire said in a loud voice, blocking Tyron's path and firmly grabbing his arm."If you don't let us leave, I'll be forced to file you for obstruction of justice," Rex said sternly to Claire. "If you want, you can come to the police station with us.Suddenly, Claire was scared by what Rex said, so she did noth
Arielle woke up late in the morning because she was thinking about the man who called her last night. Although she only spoke to him for a few seconds, she felt his voice was familiar to her. It was as if she had heard his voice before, but she couldn't remember who among the people she knew was the owner of that voice.Since it was almost morning when she fell asleep, she woke up late. She didn't feel like going to work, so she called her secretary to cancel all of her appointments for two days. However, she told her secretary to call her immediately if there was an important client.Before she left her room, she took a shower to look fresh. When she went downstairs to the living room, she found Gun sitting on the sofa reading a magazine."Good morning," she greeted in a soft voice as she approached Gun and sat across from where he was seated."It seems like you had a good sleep, that's why you woke up late," Gun said to her with a smile."No. I slept almost until morning, that's why
It was a busy day. Arielle had a lot of work to do at the company, so she was almost exhausted while sitting on the chair and traveling back to her house. She had landed a big client, but it was snatched away by her rival company, the Adamson Real Estate and Developer, one of the biggest real estate developers in the country. It was the company where Jacob was the vice president, but now he is the acting CEO of the company because the CEO, who is his cousin, is reportedly still undergoing treatment.She had already won the bidding, but the client suddenly withdrew, and later she found out that it had been taken by her biggest rival in the business. The effort she and her team had put in to win the bidding, which she called the "million project", was all in vain."Are you okay, Arielle? You seemed tired and disappointed," Gun asked her when he noticed that she was not in a good mood."I'm down today, Gun. I feel frustrated," she replied to Gun. "My company won the bidding for that proj
Gun's fists were clenched tightly as he sat outside the emergency room. He wanted to punch the wall like he had done before, but he didn't want Arielle to worry if she saw his hands injured. The last time he did that, the young woman got angry and worried about him. She made him promise her that he wouldn't hurt himself again if her life was put in danger.The veins on his hands are almost bursting from the tightness of his fists, and his teeth are grinding. He blames himself for why Arielle's life is in danger again. If only he had been more attentive, if only he hadn't left her, this might not have happened. If anything bad happens to Arielle, he will never forgive himself.When he saw a doctor come out of the emergency room, he immediately stood up and approached him."Are you a relative of the patient?" the doctor asked him."No, Doctor. But I am her boyfriend and her guardian," he quickly answered the doctor without hesitation.The doctor nodded before speaking again. "The patien
"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
