Her heart instantly sank as her mind quickly assumed that the date was just a trap. There was no way that gorgeous woman was no one in Gabriel’s life. Because it was impossible not to fall for her as even she felt like she fell in love at first sight to her. “Welcome to Casa Royal, Mrs Sabrina Mondragon. It’s nice to finally meet you..” The woman cheerfully greeted. “Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Bettina Chua, the founder and sole owner of Casa Royal,” she introduced herself while extending her hand for a shake.Hesitantly, Sabrina shook her head and introduced herself as well. “I’m Sabrina. N-nice to meet you too”“I have been inviting Gabriel to come here and bring you ever since I’ve heard that he finally got married. It was actually very shocking news because I knew how allergic he was to women,” Bettina giggled. Sabrina nodded her head, feeling uncertain. The woman kept talking and giggling. And even though Sabrina wanted to be annoyed that she seemed to know a l
Sabrina nodded and accepted his hand. She had no idea why she was nervous when they were just going out to eat dinner. “Where exactly are we going?” She queried as they stepped out of their room. Gabriel grinned at her, that kind of grin that looked like he was up to something. “You’ll know once we get there,” he replied. Sabrina narrowed her eyes on him, but the latter just shrugged his shoulders. The car was only waiting outside the main door when they reached downstairs. But she was surprised when Gabriel opened the door on the passenger side for her. “You’ll drive?” her eyebrows knitted together. “This is our first date. I want it to be just the two of us,” Gabriel answered. He said it so casually as though it was not a big deal. Meanwhile, Sabrina’s heart was going crazy upon hearing the word ‘first date’. Gabriel was not wrong though. However, it sounded so weird for her, especially coming from him. Twisting her lips, Sabrina did not respond anymore as she actually di
Sabrina stiffened. She was not able to respond right away as she thought she misheard it. “You haven't eaten, correct? Let's have dinner outside,” Gabriel stated. Blinking several times, Sabrina's ears perked up. The beating of her heart immediately accelerated as she could not believe what she was hearing. “What do you think?” he inquired. Gently, Gabriel pulled her, just enough to see her face. However, she was still in shock that her mouth was ajar slightly when he lifted her head. Meanwhile, Gabriel's thick eyebrows raised. His eyes were sparkling whilst there was a tiny smile plastered on his lips. Sabrina was rendered speechless, not knowing what to say. Her chest felt full as she stared at Gabriel. “Do you wanna go out or prefer to eat here?” he asked softly. “W-where are we going?” she finally queried. “Where do you want to go?” Gabriel asked in return. Sabrina reluctantly pulled away from him and looked everywhere but him. “Is it. . .a d-date?” she inquired in a t
Stunned, Gabriel stared at her with his lips parted slightly. That’s not what he was expecting. He believed it was Jacob who revealed that she was married or maybe a slip of a tongue. But never did he imagine that his sisters would interfere. Meanwhile, Sabrina’s eyes squinted as she shifted her gaze to nowhere. “We went to a steak house nearby and accidentally met them there,” she elaborated. Upon hearing it, Gabriel gritted his teeth. There’s a lot of places that served the best steak in the city and there was that particular restaurant that he knew his sisters loved. So, how come they suddenly went there to a place which was too far from where they were staying and usually hanging out? He did not think it was an accident at all. The triplets certainly went there on purpose. “Our table was next to them. They recognized Sir Jacob and chatted with him, then they saw me..” Sabrina continued. She told him how it happened and how Ashley was the one who spilled the truth. She said
Gabriel’s thick eyebrows deeply furrowed as soon as he reached the building where Sabrina was working. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the three people standing by the entrance without his wife. Gabriel parked the car near them. He waited as he thought Sabrina went to the bathroom or forgot something inside and the three were actually waiting for her. However, when he saw them already walking towards the car which was parked in front of the building, he quickly stepped outside the car and walked towards them. “Mr Mondragon?” The woman looked at him shocked. “Where’s Sabrina?” Gabriel asked, ignoring her. “Sabrina already left,” it was Jacob. Gabriel’s thick eyebrows deeply furrowed, “What do you mean she left already? I’m here to pick her up,” he said. “She went home,” the woman answered. “She hailed a cab..” Gabriel’s jaw clenched. His eyebrows then twitched, not liking the idea that his wife took a cab. Just as he was about to speak, his phone suddenly buzzed. “Where
A long and nerve-wracking silence then occurred after that. Sabrina’s lips parted slightly, could not believe that the guy would lie for her!She stared at Jacob with wide eyes, silently asking why he did that. But no words were coming out of her mouth. On the other hand, Michelle and Angelo walked past her without saying anything. Watching them go away, Sabrina felt even more guilty. She was torn whether to tell them the truth or just let them go while believing Jacob’s lie. However, her conscience was killing her. And she knew it won’t let her sleep at night knowing the fact that instead of fixing things, she just added another problem. Sabrina shut her eyes and released a heavy breath. It was the moment of truth. She knew she had to be honest with them even though she was not sure whether they would still accept her as their friend or not, she had to do the right thing. Her heart was beating so loud as her eyes slowly fluttered open. “Wait!” Sabrina screamed then ran after
