Nobela ni Amy Robert

Arielle's POV I received a call from Alessio telling me to stay at home for a few days before I could resume work. And that's what I did. I stayed at home, hardly talking to anybody.I didn't tell my mom about the experience. I lied to her about the injury because I didn't want her to worry about me.Maven knew he wronged me, so he kept his distance. We were cool, but not like before. I was still slightly annoyed with him.Violet called multiple times. I didn't know what to tell her so I ignored.The only thing on my mind, the only thing I kept pondering about was Luciano's attitude after he dropped me home. Why would he tell me to leave the car all of a sudden after offering a broad chest for me to cry on?It didn't make any sense to me, and I was determined to know the reason.I picked up my phone and dialed the number Alessio sent to me. I never thought a day would come when I would call Luciano.After a few seconds of ringing, he finally picked up."Hello," he said, his voice low

Jennie's POV Something was wrong with Gabriel, and I knew it. There was an external influence on him because he had changed in every way. Little did I know that his personal assistant was behind his change. Tonight confirmed my suspicions. Heaven knows how sore my eyes got from watching him hug her. It was unbelievable. He never hugged any other woman except me. A lot had changed.I paced about as they left the room, worried and irritated."What was that?" I asked Alessio."What?""Who is she to him?" My voice was icy as I questioned."His personal assistant.""I know that, silly. There's something else. They are close. Tell me everything you know, Alessio.""There's nothing going on between them. It's platonic," he replied dryly."Platonic," I snapped. "But he's attached to her. I've observed it. Just three months of my absence, and he's already clinging to her."Alessio stared at me like I was some kind of raging bitch. "Why are you bothered? You've always wanted to see this cari

Arielle's POV We arrived at his place. My mind was already too preoccupied with the recent incident that I couldn't take in the surroundings or admire the beauty of Luciano's home. Alessio led me into the house. It had a cool, comforting ambiance for any visitor. It was unlike his family home in Italy, which screamed danger. We entered a room—a shooting range. There were targets set up across the room and guns carefully arranged. Luciano was standing behind Jennie Morgan, his hands wrapped around her as he guided her to aim at the target. They were having fun, and then I realized I was in the wrong place. I was sad. I was bitter and pained. I didn't want to ruin their fun. Besides, Luciano warned me about Noah. What if he doesn't care anymore? What if I had already pissed him off by going back to Noah? I turned back to Alessio. "I think I'll just go home. Do you mind driving?" "Are you sure you want to—?" "Yes," I replied, wiping the tears from my face. I had just take

Arielle's POVNoah held my hand, leading me into his house. The warm lighting and slow gentle music set the tone for the evening.He led me to the dining table and pulled a chair for me to sit.The table was adorned with rose petals and carefully arranged flowers. There were already several dishes spread out on the table, the sweet aroma of food wafting into the air.I thought we were just going to watch a movie together or have a normal dinner. I didn't expect him to pull off something like this."I love this!" I exclaimed with genuine delight.He smiled then leaned to kiss my forehead. "I'm sorry for what I did. I'm just paying for my sins." He chuckled and kissed me on the lips. "Happy birthday, Arielle."My eyes sparkled with excitement. "Thank you. Thank you for all of this."As we began to eat, I stole glances at him and giggled each time he caught me staring. I was satisfied with this—this moment.It was reality.We chatted and laughed while digging into our plates. Occasionall

Arielle's POV "I viewed your story last night. OMG, did Noah take you to that expensive restaurant?" Violet asked at work the next day."No. Not Noah," I responded.There was a deadpan silence as she hung her mouth open while staring at me.She shook her head in disbelief. "Oh no. Don't tell me it's Mr Gabriel."I made a face and nodded. "And I can tell you it was the best night of my life. I've never felt so happy in a long time."She was staring at me with worry and concern etched on her face. "Oh, Arielle. You never listen.""That's not it. I talked to Mr Gabriel that I can't be around him, and yeah, we ended it that day. But then, Noah didn't show up yesterday.""What? Why?""I don't know. I called him and texted him, and there's been no reply, and he's not even here now. I'm worried.""Well, we all know he's a latecomer. Actually, I saw him hanging out with his friends last night at a popular club. I thought maybe he later met up with you.""No, he didn't. Then, I met Mr Gabrie

Gabriel's POV She pursed her lips, staring down at the floor then sighed and started taking quick steps towards me.My eyes took in her entire appearance. A short sleeveless halterneck gown clung perfectly to her curves. The red silkiness of her hair matched with her dress, a light makeup accentuating her beauty.She dressed so beautifully for the night only for the fool, Noah to leave her alone and stranded.Alessio never listened to me when I told him to stop telling me about Arielle. He'd always come and give a report at the end of the day, and I'd always pretend not to listen. Today was just one of those days. As soon as he told me about Noah's absence, I felt my entire being ignited with a kind of fury I'd never experienced before. Of all days to be absent, it had to be on her birthday.I blamed her though. She was unable to see through his deceitful appearance.I started the car immediately, zooming off with anger still brewing inside me."Where are you taking me?" she asked.
