Arielle was fixing her appearance in front of the mirror. She has a date today with Eric Montilla, the nephew of one of the shareholders of her company.Mr. Montilla spoke to her because he was trying to set her up with his brother's son. She wanted to decline the blind date with his nephew but she thought that if she refused, Mr. Agaston might think she didn't consider his suggestion.She has nothing to lose by agreeing to Mr. Montilla, so she agrees. She knows that no matter who her blind date is, she won't fall in love with them because her heart is already set on someone else.After giving herself a final look and seeing that her outfit was fine, she decided to go out of her room. She went down to the living room where Gun was waiting for her.Gun's forehead wrinkled and he frowned as he looked at her and walked down the stairs."What's the matter? Why are you frowning?" she couldn't help but ask as she approached him."Go back to your room and change your clothes," Gun ordered he
Arielle thought Eric would scold Gun when she stood up from his seat and seemingly got angry that Gun drank the wine that was supposed to be her. However, Eric simply stood up and gave Gun a sharp look, which the latter did not seem to care about, even if Eric was staring at him full of annoyance."It's okay. Just give me another one," he said to Eric. The man quietly sat back down, then called the waiter and asked for another glass. He poured the wine into the glass wine and this time, she was the one who received it. Gun tasted the wine earlier and it was fine, so it meant it was safe for her to drink.Ever since she got poisoned at the restaurant they had eaten at, Gun has been tasting any food she puts in her mouth if it was not cooked at her house. She just lets him be, as she does not want to end up in the hospital again. Aside from being a hassle because she has lots of postponed work the smell inside the hospital is also something she doesn't like."Cheers to our first meeting
Arielle swallowed hard as her gaze fell on Gun's red lips. She secretly prayed that he would move away from her, for she might not be able to resist the urge to grab the back of his neck and kiss his lips passionately. "I'm awake now," she said in a soft voice to Gun."Oh, yeah," was his short response. But he did not make any effort to increase the distance between them. He did not move away from her and continued to stare at her face as if memorizing every detail of it."Oh, yeah." She didn't know why she mimicked what he said. Her brain wasn't functioning properly, so she couldn't think clearly. The only things she could think about were his reddish lips and the rapid beating of her heart.She silently cursed in her mind when she saw his gaze drop to her slightly parted lips. Her heart beat even more erratically when she saw him swallow and Adam's apple move.She didn't know what kind of force was pushing her but suddenly her hand rose and gently stroked his Adam's apple on his ne
The sun was high up when Arielle woke up. As she opened her eyes, she saw Gun hugging her while sleeping, with a slight smile on the corners of his lips. She couldn't help but smile as she remembered what happened last night. Gun took her virginity on the sofa of her house.After what happened on the sofa, Gun carried her and brought her to her room. And inside her room, she couldn't count how many times they made love until they both fell asleep from exhaustion. The sun was already shining brightly when she woke up, so she had no intention of going to the office that day. She feels tired and sore all over her body.She lovingly caressed his smooth face. She had no regrets in her heart that he was the one she chose to give her purity to. She loves him. And she also feels that Gun loves her back.She was surprised when Gun suddenly grabbed her hand caressing his cheek and then she opened her eyes."Good morning," she greeted with a smile. She hid her embarrassment by smiling."You loo
"Allow my son to go on a blind date with you, Miss Simpson. Who knows, you two might like each other and we could become in-laws." This was the third time that Mr. Tuvalya had pleaded with her to agree to a blind date with his son. He had heard that her blind date with the nephew of another shareholder did not go well, so just like the other shareholders, he approached her and tried to arrange a blind date, if not with his son, then with his younger sibling or nephew."Okay fine. I will meet your son, Mr. Tuvalya. But I do not promise that my date with him will go well. We don't know, maybe what happened in my last blind date will happen between me and your son," she replied to Mr. Tuvalya to stop him from bothering her. She knew that she would not like his son either, just like what happened on her first blind date, especially since she already had an understanding of Gun.She doesn't want Gun to feel insecure when she goes on blind dates, so she promises herself that this will be th
Pancho's immediately darkened when Gun tasted all the food on the table without permission. And it seemed that Gun was deliberately trying to annoy the man because he showed Pancho how much he was enjoying the food he had put in his mouth. Even the expensive red wine did not escape Gun's palate. He tasted the red wine and then gave Pancho an annoying smile."It's all safe and delicious, Arielle. You can eat now," Gun said with a smile.Gun's actions of tasting the food and drinks before they were too awkward, but he did it for her own safety, so Arielle just endured the feeling of uneasiness.It's okay with her that Gun tastes all the food before she eats it, but it's not liked by anyone who eats with her in the restaurant. They don't understand her situation so they get offended, while Gun doesn't care whether the person she's with gets offended or not."It seems your bodyguard only saw delicious food now, so he couldn't resist tasting all the food on the table," Pancho said to her.
Hailey found out that the person she was on a blind date with was not actually Pancho Tuvalya, but a different man. Fortunately, Mr. Tuvalya called Gun because he couldn't reach her and immediately informed Gun about what happened. Apparently, Pancho was beaten up by three unknown men and is now in the hospital. Mr. Tuvalya only found out about what happened to his son when the hospital called him after his son regained consciousness.When Mr. Tuvalya learned about what happened to his son, he immediately called her to inform her, but since he couldn't reach her, he called Gun's phone and told him about his son. When Gun found out about that, he felt worried because she was inside the room with what turned out to be a fake son of Mr. Tuvalya.According to Gun, as soon as he opened the door, the fake Pancho Tuvalya was about to stab her with a fork, so he immediately drew his gun from his waist and shot the man who was trying to kill her.Now she really won't go on a blind date again.
Arielle expected Gun to pick her up as he had promised, but instead, it was Amanda who came to get her and took her to a restaurant. She said that she had something important to tell her. At first, Arielle is reluctant to go with Amanda, but something is telling her to go with the woman, at the end, she decides to go with her, also out of curiosity about what is Amanda going to tell her.Once they were seated in a corner of the restaurant, Amanda immediately asked her what she wanted to eat, but she refused. She didn't come with her to eat, but to find out what she wanted to tell her."Well, I won't force you to order. For sure, you won't be able to eat after what you discover about Gun's real identity," Amanda gave her a mysterious smile."What do you mean?" She suddenly felt anxious. Was Gun hiding something from her?Instead of answering her question, Amanda placed a white folder on top of the table."Open the folder, Arielle. All the questions you wanted to know about Gun's ident
"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
