Chapter 18Your wife "I'm falling…" she uttered. "I'm falling for you, Gavin."Her eyes were filled with sincerity. Luna was looking at him as if he's the only one she could see. His heart was pounding aloud and so fast again. Gavin can feel it while eyeing Luna in front of him. Her words flutter his heart. He was lost for words once again. Gavin has nothing to tell her. They promised to fall to each other and Luna was already falling. As for Gavin, is he falling for her? That is the question that he can't answer yet. Love is not for him. He never liked these things and he was so sure that what he felt for Luna was just a misunderstanding."Are you falling for me, Gavin?" Luna asked straightforwardly, cutting to the chase. He crumpled his hands. He became a stone who could not even move nor remove his eyes from her. All he knows is that his heart was drumming at that moment. "Gavin!" Clyde shouted a bit far from them. Gavin prevented Luna's eyes as he looked down to his feet befo
Chapter 19Caught"I'm your wife, Gavin…you must fall for me," she said firmly. His phone rang, which interrupted the two of them and broke the deafening silence between them. Both of them looked at his phone before Gavin eyed Luna once again. "I have to take this," he said and gave her a soft smile. Luna held his hand for a moment. The rings that they wear calms her heart beyond this situation they are in. "No problem," she replied and nodded with a smile. Gavin left her room for a moment as he had to take the call."Hello," "Sir Gavin, we found something." The man said. Gavin glanced at Luna inside her room where he left the door a bit opened. He quickly closed it and created more distance between them. "What is it?" He asked firmly. "This is not really big. But I found out that Agatha Gabriel had a fight with Amara Gabriel before her flight," the man delivered him the news that they dug. His brows crossed for a moment. "It's not huge, but who knows? Beyond her angelic face
Chapter 20 Typhoon"I…" she uttered, losing all her words. Luna pulled herself back to her senses and quickly moved her eyes away from him, or should we say, from his body. "The food is ready," she was preventing his eyes that remained at her. She turned her back and was ready to leave the room with embarrassment and awkwardness.Coming there was a mistake. She should have just waited for him to go downstairs! "Wait," Gavin said with his baritone voice. Her feet stopped in front of his door. Her heart was pounding so fast and her breathing suddenly became heavy as if she was holding it back. She gulped as she bit her lower lip. She looked like a stone who was standing there, could not even move. "Why are your cheeks burning?" He asked and heard his footsteps coming towards her. She crumpled her hands and became even more stone. "It's just hot!" She exclaimed with a bit of surprise when she turned around and saw Gavin standing in front of her, wearing those blank eyes. She buried
Chapter 21SleepLuna stayed beside Gavin, sitting on the cold floor in front of Gavin who was still holding her hand. She wanted to leave for a moment to get him a towel in cold water to lessen his fever. But hearing his soft voice asking her to stay stops her. And here she goes, watching him sleep. "You're really handsome," she muttered while staring at his face. She could not help but to wonder what his parents looked like. Does he take after his Mom or his Dad? When she made sure that Gavin was already sleeping, she slowly removed his hand at her and stood up. She took a deep breath and drew a small smile at Gavin before preparing the towel in the cold water. He has a fever and his body temperature is really hot so cold water will do. "Can you bring medicine here? And also a soup if possible?" Luna asked the maid outside the door in her very low voice. She even checked Gavin inside as she doesn't want to wake him up."Yes, Mam." The maid said and left immediately to obey her.
Chapter 22Holding back"They have to stop the search," Amethyst said to them in the living room after the call she took."What? They can't stop! I can't waste any time!" Rio exclaimed furiously. Agatha stood up and pushed him on his chest, wearing her cold eyes. She rarely turned like this. But this time, Rio filled her system with annoyance."Can you stop?" She asked blankly. "What do you think of our people who were searching the ocean for how many weeks? Robots? Aliens?" She smirked. "Your attitude won't help, Rio." Rio didn't speak. He kept his eyes at her, exchanging cold stares. His jaw clenched and has nothing to do anymore but to calm himself down. Amethyst's phone rang again, which broke the silent tension between Agatha and Rio. "Hello?" She answered as she shut her eyes with frustration."Good afternoon, this is the Police. We found some dead bodies here. You can go here to check if Ms. Amara Gabriel is one of them," the man said over the phone. Her lips parted immediate
Chapter 23Hate"Amara Gabriel hasn't been found yet?" Larisa uttered while watching the news with her husband, Gabe. He quickly put down the iPad that he was holding and turned his eyes on the television. "That's her fiancé," Gabe said. "I met him twice." Larisa's brows raised and nodded. Well, something's wrong with this. Her guts tells her that there is still a hidden story behind the plane crash. "That red haired girl is Amethyst Gabriel, her cousin." Estevan muttered as he arrived again in their house with his hands hiding in his pockets. "The wedding should have happened by now if she didn't go missing, right?" Larisa asked and looked at the two Clyborne that were with her. "Yeah. Everything's ready, I heard." Gabe said and came back scrolling on the iPad as he took a heavy breath. "Something feels wrong," Larisa mentioned. Both of their eyes went at her. Well, they know her. Her guts have never been wrong."What do you mean?" Estevan asked."I don't think that there was a
Chapter 24Behind the fightGavin was on his bed, drinking alcohol. His hands were crumpled like a paper while Luna's questions were pouring in his head. It's already evening and he hasn't been able to come out of his room anymore since he last encountered Luna downstairs. "Fvck," he cursed out loud as he threw the glass on the ground furiously. He even slammed his broad and tough chest with his heart aching like it was being torn inside. Luna has no idea how much he wanted to do what Misty told him to do. She has no idea about what she feels and how he hates himself for hurting her like that. But how is she supposed to understand him? She will only understand him if he reveals the truth. And he knows that he can't do that yet. "B*llsh*t!" He shouted angrily and started to punch the wall with his bare fist, ignoring the pain and the wound that it would leave. He was punching the wall as if it was a soft thing. The blood was already painted on his fist. But nothing hurts more about
Chapter 25Sleepover"Did you find our daughter?" His wife asked while lying on the hospital bed. She lost weight since Amara went missing after the plane crash. She was too feeble to even leave this hospital room as she can't bear all the news about her daughter. Her pain and worries were eating her up and she couldn't handle any stress anymore."Not yet," her husband replied with that tiny bitter smile on his lips. Even he lost weight when Amara went missing. He could not even eat how delicious the food was. It feels like he doesn't have any appetite. It can see from his face how frustrated and exhausted he is as well. "Did you tell them our decision?" She asked with her weak voice. He nodded. They both don't want to give her up. But they are aware that they also have to tighten their clan, especially now that they lost one of their gems. All their enemies will probably target them and erase them from this Mafia world. "They were upset," he uttered and cackled. "I don't want to
