Novels by Gabrielle

Bella's Pov I stayed silent for what felt like forever before my brothers snapped out of their daze. “What did you just say, Bel?” Alex asked, looking at my face keenly to see if I would say I'm joking but he quickly realised I wasn't.“You're pregnant?” Roger asked, trying to register what I had said.“Yes I am,” their reactions were unexpected but I'm glad I could share it with someone other than Lissa. “Alex, are you hearing this? I'm going to be an uncle,” Roger started jumping around the restaurant like an excited toddler disturbing the guests. He quickly regained his composure before sitting back down.“Are you married?” Alex asked and I know where he's getting at.“Alex-” Roger started to say but he held up his hand and cut him off.“Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be an uncle but I don't want you to do anything you will regret later down the road,” he said and I understand why he is worried.“I'm not married. I got pregnant by accident. I was drugged, and someone tried to

Gabriel’s PovI didn't wait for him to respond. I threw the mini camera at him that he hid in my table centrepiece.“Pathetic,” I mocked him.“Can't even hide a camera properly,” “You're slacking. It makes me wonder if you're really the one hiding your shady deeds or is someone covering for you,” I said, looking him dead in the eyes. For a moment his expression wavers and that confirms that I hit the nail right on the head.I smirked at him, “You can leave and don't return if you're not going to inform before coming,” he scoffed and slammed the door.I called Dex and he answered on the second ring.“Guess who came?”“Your father?”“Yes,”“What did he want?”“He knows I'm researching him and told me to stop,”“So what did you say?”“I told him he doesn't get to tell me what to do and I will look into whatever I want,”“Also he slipped a mini camera in the center piece in the living room thinking I didn't notice,”“He's so bold,” he said. “Where is it now?”“I threw it to him on his wa

Bella's Pov I slowly turned my head to see a tall guy standing a couple feet away from our table. ‘Why does this man look so familiar and I know that voice but I can't quite place it,’ I thought.“What are you doing here?” Roger got up from his seat to stand in front of the other guy.‘Oh, Roger knows him. I know him but from where?’ I thought. “I’m meeting a client but who would have thought I’d meet you guys here,” I looked between the both of them and saw a resemblance. I tilted my head to the side to make sure I was seeing right. He saw my facial expression and finally spoke again.“Hey sis,” the stranger said and it finally clicked. “Alex? Is that you,” “Yes little sis it's me,” he said grinning. Roger started making funny faces while mocking him and I couldn't help but stifle a laugh but couldn't suppress it.“He's mocking me isn't he?” He asked.“Yes,” he ignored him and pulled me in for a tight hug.“I was waiting for tomorrow but didn't know we would have ended up at the

Bella's Pov"Everything on?" A female officer asked after I whined down my window. We were so lost in the moment, we didn't even notice the car when it parked behind us."Yes everything is good, just talking." Roger said, beating me to answer.The officer looked at my tear streaked face and I smiled to reassure her."Are you sure?" she asked me personally this time. Looks like I'm going to have to say it out loud for her to let it go, I thought. "Yes officer, I'm ok. This is my brother I just reunited with after 5 years” I said, smiling at her still.“Then why are you guys crying,” she asked. “I've been parked behind your car for hours now observing. Three hours to be exact,” “Oh wow, so long?” I asked.“Shit, we almost missed our dinner reservation,” Roger muttered under his breath while running a hand through his hair.The officer didn’t look convinced. “Step out of the vehicle, both of you,” she said firmly. Roger and I exchanged a quick glance.“Seriously?” he asked.“Sir, please

Gabriel's Pov My heart starts to pound faster in my chest. “A car?” I asked.My body stiffened. Not because of the car but the thought of someone watching me.“Yes,” he said. “I'm trying to zoom up to see if I can see who is in it,”“Can you send me the footage?”“Sure,”“I sent it, check your email. The file is too large for the message app,” he said and my phone buzzed with a notification.“Well that is expected because it is the house camera footage,”“How far in the video does the car show up?”“Check 1 hour and 45 minutes in and you will see the car parking,”“Yeah I'm seeing it. Try to see if you can get a clear picture of the logo on the side of the car,” “Wait, I just sent you this and you already spotted something I haven't seen yet and I'm looking at this for how long now?” He was surprised, as if not knowing who I am.“Just remember I'm me, and you're, well… you,” I said sarcastically.“Haha, very funny,” he said, matching my energy.“So did you find anything?” “No, it's

Bella's Pov “Bella?” Roger called but nothing from me. “Bella, please talk to me. Are you okay?” He asked worriedly.A strange image flashed in my mind. Something like a memory. Two boys chased me around a garden while I laughed. It was still kind of foggy, I couldn't see the boys' faces clearly but I could hear my carefree laughter as clear as day. The green grass spreads across the wide plot of land and the flowers blooming along the edges of the fence. The scene shifted to the taller boy running ahead towards the tree and we followed him closely. “Bella, please say something. Don't scare me like this,” he said with a shaky voice that snapped me out of the strange memory. My head was throbbing and my heart was beating fast.“I saw something,” I said slowly letting go of my head. I turned around to see that he was crying. I was shocked. “I'm ok Roger, please don't cry,” I said feeling guilty.I didn't know my disappearance had affected them this much. “You scared me. I thought
