Enough!” Gabriel cried out as Trixie whipped him. He was too weak to resist, his body covered in bruises and wounds. He couldn’t even urinate properly because Gio had done something to prevent it. All he could hear were his screams and cries.Gio grabbed Gabriel’s hair and lifted his head. “Have you learned from your mistake of trying to escape my control?” Gio asked with a smirk, but Gabriel just glared at him without responding. “¡No te oigo, Gabriel Álvarez! (I can’t hear you, Gabriel Alvarez!)” Gio shouted, throwing Gabriel’s head back down. “Gabriel!” Gio shouted again, signaling Trixie to continue beating Gabriel, who screamed in pain.Gio stopped Trixie and approached the weakened Gabriel, who had been injected with drugs. He forced Gabriel’s mouth open and inserted something, causing Gabriel to gag and
Instead of taking Gabriel to the hospital, they brought him to their hideout. They are afraid of being exposed for what they did and the public finding out about Agustin. They laid Gabriel on a bed and dressed him properly because they couldn’t bear to see his gruesome appearance. Adrian also instructed his cousins to get supplies from their family’s hospital because it’s better to treat Gabriel at their hideout. Adrian looked at the number and at Eros, unsure of what to say. “Damn. Damn. What we did today is even worse,” he muttered, biting his nails. “I suddenly feel so guilty! It’s frustrating!” He scratched his head and took a deep breath before calling the number he had been staring at. The call was answered after a few rings… (“Adrian?”) He cleared his throat and scratched his eyebrow. “Uhm, uncle, is uncle Erin with you?” he asked, glancing at Eros, who looked puzzled, so he just smiled and moved away to talk to their uncle properly. “He’s still sleeping next to me. Why?
Adrian and his cousins were waiting for Agustin to arrive, and they had been waiting for hours. Adrian glanced at his cousins who were still asleep on the large sofa in the hideout. He also looked at Emmett, who had fallen asleep out of exhaustion. Adrian had also let Janno rest, who had fallen asleep while watching over Gabriel.He sighed and stepped out of the hideout to smoke. He was still troubled because he felt that their mission involved more than just Gio.“I miss my childhood. I was also a troublemaker back then,”He was startled by the sudden appearance of his uncle Ander, who was also smoking.“I can’t say that Gabriel will be okay because his condition is severe. I’m more worried about what will happen if the whole Knight family finds out,” Ander said, shaking his head and sighing. “I haven’t told my husband yet about this because he might cause a scene. You know your uncle Erin, when it comes to family, he’s even more dramatic than Sophia.” He chuckled, mentioning that Er
“Agustin!”Carrie flinched as Agustin punched the wall, tears streaming down her face as she covered her mouth. It was the first time in 8 years that she had seen Agustin this angry. “Please, just stop!” she begged, but her brother ignored her pleas. “Brother, please!” Carrie pulled Agustin away from the wall and hugged him, sensing his anger. “I know you’re upset, but not here. Gabriel needs you,” she whispered, feeling her brother calm down at the mention of Gabriel’s name.Agustin leaned against the wall and sat down, so Carrie gently sat beside her brother. “What are you planning to do now?” she asked. “To kill all of them? Then what? You’ll ruin your life again?”Agustin remained silent, prompting Carrie to scoff. “You don’t need to take the law into your hands. There’s no need for war, Agustin, and there’s no need to tarnish our hands—”“There is no justice, Carrie.”Carrie paused and turned to Agustin. “There is another way, brother. You have to come back with us,” she said. Ag
One week later…Agustin still hasn’t returned, and they are getting anxious because Agustin might do something bad again. They brought Gabriel back to Agustin’s penthouse to rest properly. Although Gabriel wants to go back to work, Agustin’s cousins won’t allow him. “Do you want him to kill us?”Gabriel had no choice but to rest in the penthouse because he could sense that Adrian didn’t want to cause trouble with Agustin. He was also worried about Agustin not returning yet. “He’ll be back,” Carrie reassured him, even though she knew there was no certainty that Agustin would return.“Emmett, do you know where Agustin is, right?” he asked. Emmett paused from peeling apples and glanced at Gabriel. He was about to answer when the door suddenly opened, and Carrie, Janno, Adrian, and Tara arrived with lots of food and shopping bags.Emmett breathed a sigh of relief because he would rather not reveal Agustin’s whereabouts. He promised not to tell anyone, especially Gabriel.“Hi!” Adrian gree
[This chapter serves as a special continuation of the epilogue from “Her Tears,” and I have chosen to present it as a prologue to Agustin Knight’s story.]THIRD POV“Welcome back!”They were taken aback to find her cousins waiting for them. Scarlett felt a surge of happiness, knowing that they were still accepted in the manor, despite the numerous challenges they had faced twelve years ago.“Ven!”Scarlett’s eyes widened as she caught sight of her best friend. “Oh my gosh! Claire!” she exclaimed, rushing forward to embrace her friend. “Oh, my goodness!” Scarlett whispered. Claire chuckled and gently patted her friend’s back, as they hadn’t seen each other in decades.Scarlett pulled away, wiping her tears as she recalled the assistance Claire had provided.“I had no idea you were here!”Claire chuckled and shrugged. “Surprise?”Scarlett joined in the laughter and embraced her friend once more.“Oh, I nearly forgot… This is my husband, Antonio Suarez. He’s Spanish, but he’s fluent in E
8 years later…The customers are enjoying themselves at a public club, including the notorious group of the establishment. The man named Eli Santiago grins and chugs a bottle, prompting cheers from his friends and creating more noise in the club. After finishing the bottle, he shouts and kisses his girlfriend, causing even more excitement from his friends.The man smiled, grabbed another beer, and lit a cigarette. No one wanted to approach their group because they were ruthless when provoked. The night was fun until they heard a police siren. People ran to escape, and the group fled, raising their middle fingers at the passing police car.“CARRIE, WHAT HAPPENED?”Carrie just sat at the table, staring at her glass. They were at her mother's exclusive bar, which was also frequented by wealthy people.“Hey!”She annoyingly brushed off the hand of her cousin Lexie (Lux’s daughter) and took a deep breath.“It’s been 8 years, but he’s still missing! Fuck! Where is my fucking brother?” she a
“HEY, MOM, it’s time for your medicine,” Carrie said, placing the tray on the side table. Scarlett took her medication and watched her youngest daughter. “You don’t have to do this, Carrie. I have nurses to do their job,” Scarlett said. Carrie just smiled and adjusted Scarlett’s blanket.“Has your twin come home yet?”Carrie stopped at Scarlett’s question but forced a smile and shook her head.“Not yet, mom, but don’t worry, I will find him okay?” she reassured her mother about her brother.“He’s still mad at me. He hasn’t visited in many years. Is he alright? Is he still eating properly?” Scarlett asked with concern, covering her face because her eldest child still hasn’t come home.Carrie panicked and hugged Scarlett to comfort her because her mother was still sad that her twin brother hadn’t come home yet, and she also missed their father even though many years had passed.“Mom, I will find him, okay? I will find my twin brother,” she said, looking at her mother while holding back

EMMETT’s POVI can’t sit still while biting my nails. This is my fault! If only I hadn’t been careless, Gabriel wouldn’t have been kidnapped! Damn!I can’t bring myself to talk to Eli because I feel growing anger towards him. Just his driving alone almost gives me a heart attack. He doesn’t care that many police officers are following us due to his overspeeding. I can’t even look at him because I might end up buried prematurely.Damn. Currently, all I can do is pray for Trixie because even she won’t be spared by my friend. For days, we’ve been thinking about where Trixie might take Gabriel, and all they can think of is Gio Robles, Eli’s former rival.“I’m so annoyed by the loud noise from their cars, I feel like blowing them up!”I just swallowed and didn’t speak because what he said was true.“Fuck them!” he shouted and rummaged through something in front of him. My eyes widened when I saw him take out a grenade.“Fuck you, dude! Don’t do that! We still have unfinished business, we m
WARNING: The following content may be disturbing. Please proceed with caution.— Violence— Sexual Assault***People were startled by the loud noise that interrupted the music. Agustin’s group was puzzled about the source of the commotion.“What’s happening?”They shrugged, unsure of what was going on. Meanwhile, Emmett couldn’t sit still, knowing that Agustin was causing a scene in his room upon discovering Gabriel was missing. He had been entrusted with watching over Gabriel but failed to do so.The owner of the club emerged from his office and glanced at the dark hallway where the noise was coming from. Onlookers gathered to see what was happening.“Let the people out, we’re closing early today,” he calmly instructed his employees, who were dismayed by the unusual early closure. “You wouldn’t want to know what will happen if you don’t get the people out,” he added, signaling his staff to start clearing the place as his seriousness was evident.The owner sighed and gestured for Emm
GABRIEL’s POVI woke up feeling a heavy arm draped over me. I turned to my side and my eyes widened when I saw Agustin peacefully sleeping next to me. “Shit,” I whispered and covered my mouth to avoid waking him up. I tried to move, but he held me tightly.Shit! Shit! What a disgraceful thing I did! Wait… Why did I do that? Why did I kiss him? Damn you, Gabriel! You liked what happened between you two! Fuck!“What are you doing?”I screamed and fell off the bed in shock. “Ow!” I muttered, feeling a pain in my backside.“Oh, did you enjoy what we did last night?”My eyes widened as I looked at Agustin leaning against the headboard of the bed, grinning at me. I looked down and bit my lip, trying to stand up but stumbled due to the pain. Shit. I heard Agustin laughing, so I glared at him.“It’s your fault!” I angrily retorted and pulled the blanket to cover my body. “You’re big! I told you to stop!” I shouted, feeling embarrassed as he teased me.“Yes, it’s big. You tasted it last night.
“Agustin…”Agustin blinked and looked up to see Gabriel, who was once again worried about him. “Sorry,” Agustin muttered, rubbing his temples as he realized he had dozed off.“No, it’s okay. But, are you okay?” Gabriel asked. Agustin nodded and sat up.“Yeah,” Agustin replied, holding his head as he felt a headache coming on from all the thoughts in his mind. He was interrupted when Gabriel gently touched his cheek.“Get some rest,” Gabriel smiled, about to stand up when Agustin grabbed his hand and brushed his cheek. Gabriel’s eyes softened as he looked at Agustin, and he smiled, sensing that the young man had a lot on his mind.They stayed in that position for a few minutes before Agustin released his hand and he stood up to return to his work. However, he paused and looked back at Agustin. “Whatever you are thinking, follow your heart, Agustin,” he said with a smile before leaving the room.Agustin was left staring at the door, wondering how Gabriel knew his real name, but he decid
