last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

"I may have kept some things from you, Gabriel. Some things that even I, myself, hated about me. But I will never forget how you made me realize that I can be the most hideous person I think I am, and you'd still love me with every beat of your heart.

I will never forget how you managed to bring light in my darkness and how you filled the void in my life with your mere existence.

And it was then I realized that I don't really believe in love.

I only believed in you.

And I can never love somebody else as much as I love you.

Cause my love is no one but you.

You are my home that I'll always try to protect.

The home that I'll always get excited to run to after a tiring day.

The arms that I'd love to wrap around me as I sleep.

The owner of the lips that I'll forever long to kiss.

You're my constant reminder that I am loved.

And this heart of mine, my love.

It beats for you.

I love you Gabriel Thornton-Johnson."

  • The Last Beat    Prologue

    Maze'sThe delicious smell of my favorite mac and cheese tingled my nose when I entered the kitchen. My eyes automatically looked for my husband and there I saw him preparing our dinner table. Aside from mac and cheese, I can see that he also made my favorite steak and other delicious foods for our 11th year anniversary. And I can't help but smile as I crossed my arms against my chest while leaning at the doorframe and just watched my wonderful wife do all the work. Life with Gabriel was, is and I am sure will always be beyond wonderful. We have our ups and downs as a couple but that didn't make me love him less. In fact, I loved him even more as years passed by and he showed me how wonderful it is to have someone like him in my life. I honestly think that I'm the luckiest man on earth as I'm able to get myself a very good-looking and the best husband I could ever wish for and also a wonderful son that makes life brighter for the both of us. It's also exactly two years ago when

    Gabriel's "How's Maze?" Crimson asked on the other line as I talked to him while preparing something for Maze to eat. I looked at Maze who's sitting quietly at the dining table. I can feel his perturbation to where I'm standing right now and it's obvious that he's been restless for the past few weeks after receiving that call. I know that he can hear me talking to his best friend but he's too drawn to his own thoughts to even care. He's been like this since last month. I'm afraid that his agitation might go out of hand. And it can't be any good especially to our son, Nathaniel. He's used to seeing us happy and easy going but now, the household was overshadowed by deep perturbation brought by that goddamn call from Maze's estranged father.We all thought that it's over. We haven't talked about him for 11 years now and he didn't bother us during those times so we really thought that he had already let go of the thought of having Maze as his heir. But now, he's back. And he has th

    Gabriel'sMaze and I looked at each other after we heard the doorbell ringing. The only guests that we're expecting today were Michael and Mysty who had obviously arrived a long while ago and I can't help but to feel nervous just by thinking who the person outside could be."Gab." I was quite stunned when I heard Maze speak for the first time today and my heart can't help but to flutter because the first word that came from his mouth today was my name. I know that it's such a cliché but you can't blame me.Some things never really changed all throughout the years. And that's Maze's effect on me and the same goes to my effect on him."What is it, Maze?" I asked him as I internally castigated myself for being able to think of such mushy things in the middle of this freaking situation."Will you please open the gate for me?" My mouth went agape when Maze said those words and I can't help but frown as well. 'What the hell is he talking about?'Was he expecting other guests aside from

    Maze'sI heard Gab's conversation with Crimson over the phone. I heard it loud and clear. I just pretended that I'm in deep thought while eavesdropping because I'm worried that Crimson might spill something that Gabriel doesn't need to know, yet. That's why I kept a keen ear to their conversation while pretending that I'm not hearing anything at all. That's why I know that my subordinates will come knocking at my door one of these days. I just didn't think that it would be this early. That's why I've tried to brief Gabriel on what to do if ever it's the other way around. Gab had enough of my father's wicked scheme and I am not letting him hurt the love of my life again. Not when I've already vowed to protect him and our son until I drew my last breath.And I couldn't help but to let out a sigh of relief when I saw Heather and Royce's face first. But something's weird with Gabriel's reaction while still looking outside. He looked like he'd seen a ghost as his body turned visibly r

    Maze's Gabriel immediately went to our kitchen to cook some food for lunch and I totally forgot the food he made for me a while ago. Royce decided to help Gabriel while Heather went upstairs to play with the kids and also to greet Michael. But I know that aside from the reason they said to excuse themselves, their main purpose is to actually leave me and my subordinates to have a private talk. And I couldn't be more thankful to them as they both know what I want and need. And that is to talk things over to the guys who're well enough to analyze this dreadful situation of mine. "We heard what happened from Sir Crimson." Jake was the one to talk first and I sighed before looking at the three of them and nodded afterwards. "Before anything else, I would like all of you to just call me by my first name because Gab's not actually fond of formalities." I said, still trying to sound superior like before when in fact, I slowly transitioned into a brave ass guy to a husband that's scar

    Gabriel's"As much as I want you to know everything about Mew's past, I'm afraid I am not in any place to answer your questions, Gabriel. It's much better to ask Maze. After all, you're a team. He may have a hard time telling you but I know for sure that he doesn't want to keep it from you if you really want to know. I know you trust my friend more than anyone under this roof, Gab. And I'm sure that he doesn't want to break it and you just need to sit down and talk things over once and for all."I know for a fact that Royce's actually trying to soothe me with his words but instead of calming down, I don't know but I feel more anxious and scared at the same time. Royce sounded like he's telling me that there's still a lot of things that I don't know about my husband. That there's something more about his past that he kept from me for 11 years. And I can't help but to ask myself. Wasn't I able to probe deeper?Did Maze never really let me in after all these years?Such questions over

    Maze'sI tried to come up with words to answer Gab's question but just like I thought, I can't speak. My husband's crying in front of me, wondering about his worth because of all the secrets I've kept from him and I feel guilty just by seeing tears rolling down his cheeks. So instead of letting out a single word that might put me and my secret at stake, I rushed towards him but then just when I was about to hold him, he looked at me indifferently and that made me stop in my tracks. Tears are still streaming down his cheeks, nonstop. He looked as if he's been betrayed and it made my heart ache to no end. "G-gab--" I tried calling his name but the lump in my throat won't let me speak another word other than his name cause I am too nervous. I've hurt him, which is the last thing I would want to do in this world. "Who are those three guys, Maze? And why didn't you tell me a single thing about them for over 11 years that we're together? And what kind of help will they be lending us?"

    Maze'sI felt my tears streaming down my cheeks as I look at the love of my life, looking as beautiful as ever, whilst he walks towards the predella where I'm standing. I can also see the reactions among our guests and I can really see that they are happy for the both of us. I looked at our friends and can't help but to cry even more because of how thankful I am to them for staying with us and for fighting with us amidst of the danger. I looked at Gabriel's mom and she smiled at me. And I uttered 'thank you' but I know that that's not enough. Those words can't really express how grateful I am to her for bringing Gab to life and for making him such a strong person that I can lean on whenever I'm weak and vulnerable. I looked at my wife again as he reached the predella and he looked at me with nothing but love in his eyes. We were to drawn with each other's orbs and we didn't notice that our son is standing between us. If Nathan hadn't taken my hand to intertwine it with Gabriel

    SAVEDGabriel'sMy world's in a blur once I opened my eyes and I was welcomed by a bright light conquering the room. On a split second, I really thought that I was dead and this was already Nirvana. But as soon as I've felt the pain on my chest, I knew for sure that I'm alive and I'm probably in a hospital.I dared to get up but one was quick to stop me and firmly held me back from getting up.It's Michael.He smiled at me softly as if he's consoling me and I couldn't help but frown.The first person that comes through my mind was my husband.And after remembering what happened before I passed out, I went hysterical before frantically looking around."Where's Maze? Where's my husband?" I asked Mike as tears started streaming down my face with the immense fear I'm feeling.That aside from the physical pain I'm feeling from the wound on my chest, the pain I'm feeling within whilst thinking what could possibly be the reason why my husband is not around is much more bigger than any phys

    Hitting HomeGabriel's I stared at my own reflection in the vanity mirror whilst fixing the collar of my suit. I took a couple of deep breath as I feel extremely nervous about what's about to happen. And as I stare at myself, I can't help but cry again as I remembered everything that we've been through.I cried even more when the image of Maze lying bloodied in my arms while I called his name nonstop flashed through my mind. I feel like it all just happened yesterday and yet here I am. About to hit home. It was then the door opened and my mom came in. She gave me a warm smile when she saw me crying as she walked towards me. I also smiled at her but then started crying again like a baby when she pulled me in for a hug without saying anything. She just stood and hugged me as if that can soothe me from having all these feelings. And it somehow helped to calm me down.She then pulled away to look at my face and she smiled as she stared at me lovingly.She fixed my hy hair and pa

"Maze!""Daddy!"We both stared at each other's eyes as he fell on his knees while still being tied up on that chair.I feel like I've been stabbed just by seeing him in pain and I couldn't do anything to ease it.It was then another gunshots followed and it wasn't from Mr. King's gun.He frantically looked around only to see some of his men lying on the ground.Suddenly, three figures showed up from the dark part of the building followed by two more.And I almost cried upon recognising who they are.Jake, First and Heine went on full alert while holding their guns firmly. They showed no fear as they went to deal with Mr. King's men. Heather and Royce didn't waste any time and used the three's cover to run towards Becka, Nathan and Crimson. From the other side, there goes Mark, Top, Barry and Marvin. Mark is also holding a gun whilst the other three held a m

    LA VERDADMaze'sI woke up with nagging headache. I frowned and grunted as I blink a couple of times wondering why my head hurts so much. It was then I remembered that my fucking estranged father just hit me with a gun causing me to fell unconscious. With that, I immediately went on full alert and tried my best to move. But apparently, Mr. King, being such a fucking coward, had tied me down in a chair. "Maze." I heard a familiar voice calling my name and my eyes widened as my heart started beating painfully upon recognising the owner of that voice. It's my person. I looked up and saw him standing in front of me."Gabriel!" My voice turned hoarse and I felt my throat being dry. "Gab!" I called him again when I saw who was the one standing behind him."Daddy!" I looked at the direction where that little cry came from and saw my son together with Crimson and Becka being tied up together. Crimson and Becka looked at me apologetically and their weak appearance made me more enraged.

    Maze'sI frowned upon hearing what he said and even if I don't want to, perturbation suddenly creeped my whole system as I try to register and understand what he just said. "Cause by then, your beloved husband and son's head would be blown cause there's a gun pointed at their heads as we speak."I tried my best to apprehend what he said but God knows how much I wished I didn't. My hands started to shiver but then, I remained aiming the gun at him. To show him that I don't believe him. He's just stalling. But then he let out a dry laugh that seems to painful to hear before he looked at me again. "We may think alike but you should know by now that I am still more cunning than you." He said before fishing out his phone and I went on full alert. I looked closely with every move he makes. Even the way he dialed on his phone makes my heart beat painfully. The way that the dialing tone resonates inside the room just added to the tension I'm feeling. I feel like once the other line
