All Chapters of Never Say Goodbye : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Gabriel I don't why I feel like there is more to what Arian didn't tell about Giancarlo's visit yesterday and I can't let it go. It's probably the reason why I'm driving to his school to see him instead of driving to work. I get to his school just in time and I catch him kissing a random girl in the parking lot by his car which makes me wince.I wonder where he got his playboy attitude from because dad wasn't a playboy and I certainly steered clear of girls all throughout my time in school. Hopefully, he'll grow out of this phase and be a responsible man in future. I slam the door of my car shut and make my way to him, stop a few feet away from him and clear my throat loudly to get his attention.He pulls back from the girl and whirl around to see who'd interrupted his kissing fest but the words that were about to come out of his mouth die in his throat when he realizes it's his big brother."Gabriel?" He squints at me, hoping he's only hallucinating then he shakes his head to clear

Gabriel "You don't believe her, do you?" Arian asks me. "I mean... Abigail is a gossip but she doesn't look like someone who'd intentionally try to hurt you."I turn to look at Arian in surprise. I open my mouth to speak but words fail me and I shut it. Abigail started working for me the same time Lucille came to live here with me after she told me she was pregnant and during that time, I'd never seen her be anything but extremely rude to all my employees - especially Abigail who she considered a clumsy oaf - so how she became Lucille's informant is a mystery to me."She didn't.... Lucille hated her." I finally find my voice. "Abigail was so clumsy... Lucille told me to fire her but I didn't. How could she have...?" My voice trails off."Maybe Abigail's chatterbox nature gave her away? I mean, she probably knew Theresa would never be unfaithful to you and Kelly... Kelly was here at the time, right?" She inquired."Rachel was the last person I hired. I was looking for a nanny for Kary

Gabriel The next day I know it's considered rude to stare at someone for so long but I can't help myself. I've been staring at Arian for the past ten minutes without her noticing as she's busy talking animatedly to Kary at the breakfast table. My breakfast is right in front of me but I can't seem to look away from her, long enough to eat and I have to get going soon due to traffic and all that.I let out a sigh, almost wishing my fairy godmother can appear to change everything in my life; I'd never meet Lucille and Arian would be my wife and the mother of my children. Two boys and two girls - they don't have to be twins - my boys would look like me and my girls like her. "Mr Cruz!" Arian's loud voice jolts me out of my thoughts, startling me but I quickly compose myself and flash her a smile."You were saying something?" I ask."Aren't you hungry?" She inquires."I am. Why do you ask?" I pick up my fork."You've barely touched your food." She jerks her head in the direction of the

Gabriel "The number you're trying to call is unavailable at the moment..." I yank the earbud out of my ear and toss it on the passenger seat. I'm on my way home to see Arian since she refused to pick my calls or talk to me when I told Theresa to give her the phone. I should be in the hospital with my family, waiting for my brother to wake up but I'm currently more concerned about Arian's state of mind.Theresa had called me earlier to tell me what went down between Arian and Penelope. I still find it hard to believe that quiet-as-a-mouse Penelope had spoken to Arian like that without being provoked and then she'd walked out on them even as Theresa called her back."Guess you don't really know someone until you know them." I mutter. I fully intend to take this matter up with Penelope much later and I'll make her apologize to Arian for being so rude and insensitive. I make it home a few minutes before twelve and pull up in front of the house, shut off the engine and get out of the ca

Arian Mr Cruz is oddly quiet. He's been that way since he got back from work earlier today and even Kareena noticed that all is not well with her father. I watch him as he plays with his food, a thoughtful expression on his face and I wonder just what is running through his mind at the moment. "Have you finished working on your speech, daddy?" Kary taps him gently to get his attention. "I'm not going to give a speech anymore." He replies. "Your aunt will do it." "Are you okay daddy?" She looks concerned. "Did you get into a fight with anyone?" "No. I'm fine sweetheart. I just have a lot on my mind." He smiles to reassure her. "It's a lot if you can't even eat your food." She says. "I'm a good listener too." "Let me process my thoughts and I'll let you in on them." He says. "Do you promise?" She lifts her pinky. He looks down at her pinky with uncertainty and it is the first time I've seen him hesitate to make a promise to her. It's probably something he didn't want her to kno
