Gideon drank himself into whiskey at the bar. The memories of Derek and Isabel dancing to romantic music are still fresh in his mind. And how Freya used it to her advantage to kiss him.

(FLASHBACK)

"What the hell, Freya!"" Gideon yelled, pushing Freya away from him after she kissed him on the lips.

"What? It was supposed to be like this, we were going on a date and-"

"You're insane!" Gideon looked at Isabel and Derek hugging each other. He stopped and didn’t know how to react.

“Yeah, I am right. You are in love with that poor waitress!” Freya said, controlling her emotions.

Gideon looked at her, “This date is over!” as he took his coat and left the Resort, leaving Freya heartbroken.

(END OF THE FLASHBACK)

Gideon throws the glass against the wall. It was the first time his heart had been broken. Seeing the woman he loves hugging another man while dancing sweetly. But his thoughts returned to the moment Isabel slept with his arm this morning.

    "Isabel, how is Sir Gideon?" Alice asked as soon as Isabel exited the office."I think he was too affected by what happened to Ms. Freya. He’s not like the Gideon I'm talking to today, not the one from last night." Isabel answered sadly."Perhaps we just need to understand him for now; perhaps he's having trouble at work," Alice responded.Isabel nodded. "Maybe he needs space, because I don't know him very well yet. I don't know what he wants or doesn't want.""Give him space first, let him introduce himself to you," Alice stroked Isabel's back. “Let's get back to work."Isabel nodded, wiping her tears away from the corner of her eyes. She and Alice parted ways to return to their work._______"Kevin, where is Gideon?" Freya asked as soon as her eyes opened.

    "Hey...are you alright?" Isabel asked Gideon after their hug. Gideon, however, refused to remove his wrapped hand from Isabel's waist.Gideon shook his head. "I'm sorry about this morning."Isabel stroked his cheek. "I understand, you've been with Ms. Freya for a long time, especially at work, and—""This isn't about Freya," Gideon sighed. "My Uncle called me, and...he wants me to return to the City because if I don't, my older brother will take over the company," he explained."What? But it was you who built it."Gideon nodded. "Yeah..that's why I need to get back there as soon as possible."Isabel suddenly gets sad. "How long are you gonna stay there?"Gideon didn't respond right away.Isabel felt that Gideon didn't answer right away.

    In the morning, Gideon was stunned on one side. He continues to think about his mother. In her dream, he called her again. This happens whenever he has a problem or something bothers him, especially when it involves his father.He sighed and shifted his gaze to the papers under his desk. He needed to finish these papers, but his headache was still drowning him.It's still a burning fever, he held his head. He picked up his phone and dialed Isabel's number."I need you in the office, the air conditioner is killing me in the cold." he said.Isabel wasted no time in going straight to Gideon's office. She found the remote and quickly turned off the air conditioner. She came closer to caress Gideon's forehead."My God, Gideon, you're on fire; we need to call a doctor," she worriedly said.Gideon gave a nod. "I called Dr. Jace to check on me; he'll be here soon, my love; don't worry."Isabel blushed. Gideon addressed her as "my love" for the first time. She stroked Gideon's cheek as they w

She had no idea her parents and Gideon's mother would both die in the same accident."Every night in my dream, I see my mother. "I could see the crash and how my mother died in the hospital," Gideon began to cry. He wiped away his tears and looked at Isabel.

Gideon said seriously, pulling out a pen and a scrap of paper.Kevin frowned as Gideon wrote on that piece of paper and handed it to him."What shall I do here, Sir?" he asked."Go to the police station and look for those two people's records; they died in an accident twelve years ago; you need the exact date and reason for the accident, is that clear?" Gideon directed.Despite his wonder, Kevin simply followed Gideon's orders. He exited the office politely and accidentally ran into Isabel, who was still holding a tray."Geez, I'm sorry Sir Kevin." Isabel apologized.Kevin nodded and suddenly stopped when he saw her name tag, he looked at the piece of paper written the name of Isabella Smith and Lucio Smith.

You know you shouldn't have done it but you did it anyway!” Freya said angrily to him.Gideon stood up from his seat because he didn't like Freya rushing in his office."I did that because that was the right thing to do! I wouldn't do that if I didn't love Isabel, I can deal with accusations and issues against me by journalists or the whole world, just don't lose Isabel's trust in me!" answered Gideon.Freya fell silent. "You're not thinking Gideon, that can get to your Dad and when he finds out you have other priorities, he'll easily take the business you've worked so hard for!" she continued.Gideon winced as he knew that was going to happen but he had to be prepared."Let me take care of my own problems, Freya." answered Gideon.

Alice also felt sad. "Did he admit he had a girl?"Isabel shook her head. "That's the thing Alice, he doesn't admit it. He told me perhaps it is just Freya, I said I don't care who else she is." she sighed. "He saw that Arkus rode me home and hugged me. He told me that

    "Oh, why did you talk to Sir Gideon so quickly?" Alice asked, just coming out of the kitchen.Isabel sighed. "I didn't talk to him much. He is with Ms. Freya at the office, I even heard that they ordered pizza. I don't know if Ms. Freya made me hear that she knows Gideon better than I do or something.” she said with mixed doubts."They are still at work at this hour? But at Resorts I rarely see them together.” Alice answered.Isabel let out a sigh. "Maybe Gideon is really busy at work, maybe he needs help from Ms. Freya, that's why she's there too." she replied, trying to calm herself down."Hmm, it's better to trust your boyfriend, Isabel. Besides, they've only been in the City for two days, maybe Freya will just get really close, taking advantage of the fact that you're not by Sir Gideon's side."Isabel nodded in agreement with what Alice said. "I trust Gideon, but Ms. Freya no—Haist, I don't want to think bad of Gideon, he promised me!" She stood up and went to the kitchen to drink
