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
Chapter 26Confused Luna's eyes quickly explored the room. She didn't know that the rooms here are big. It's already like an apartment. There is a small kitchen, a living room that is already big for one person and one room. Her lips parted while staring at all the details of the room. Gavin indeed chose a great architect. "The rooms here are for a person only. The rooms in other buildings here are for the number of people," Clyde mentioned when Luna looks amused. It's her first time going inside the villas. "My husband is indeed a businessman," she uttered with a glimpse of bitterness. Behind that businessman who can multiply the money is a man who cannot admit what he really feels. "Tell me, what happened this time?" Clyde asked and took a short breath. She won't come here out of the blue without a reason. Looking at her, it seems like she wants to escape for a moment."The same thing," Luna said and avoided his eyes. "He's treating me like a wind," she added with pain. "Why di
Chapter 27Not your wife"Why do you always fight? You said he's your friend. You guys are acting like enemies," Martin said while shaking his head. There was Clyde, wiping the blood that Gavin left on his face. "That jerk almost killed me," he said and shook his head as well. It was the second time that he saw Gavin angry like a beast. The first time was when they were in college. "Here, treat yourself." Martin said and left the first aid kid on the table. "Luna should not sleep here in the first place," Liza mentioned and took a short breath. "Any husband will get mad if their wife sleeps in the house of another man." She added with frustration. "Tell me, Clyde. Do you like Luna?" Martin asked straightforwardly. Clyde paused from wiping the blood on his face. Is it not obvious? He's been taking the risk by catching her when she's falling to a man that's not him. "I guess you do," Martin concluded when Clyde was just silent and could not answer that simple question. "Misty," L
