Chapter 46Suspicion"Search?" Clyde asked while facing the men who just arrived. The man in front of him gave him the phone and showed him the picture of the woman that they were looking for. His lips parted immediately when he saw Luna. "I know this entire island, I never saw that woman here." He answered and shook his head, trying to convince these men. "We would like to search the entire island," the man still urged him."Our customers might be frightened if they see you searching for that woman here," Clyde brought up. "Get him," the man ordered. "What are you doing? You're breaking the la—""What's going on here?" Gavin asked as he arrived with his hands inside his pockets. Beside him were Estevan and Gabe. The three of them give a dark aura and terrifying vibes."They are the Clybornes," Clyde heard one of them whisper to the man in front of Clyde. "Which clan are you from?" Gavin asked again."We are from the Gabriels," the man answered."Why are you here?" Estevan asked,
Chapter 47Bullet"Rio is awake," Amara's father told them after talking with somebody on the phone."How did you even know that?" Agatha asked."Cassandra went there to check on him," he answered and took a deep sigh. Agatha simply tilted her head again. She's being too concerned about Rio. Cassandra wasn't like this before when Amara was still there. "I'll leave you here. I have to drive my wife to the hospital. She wants to stay there for a while," he mentioned before he left. He looks frustrated. It invaded them already since Luna went missing."I never like Rio for Amara," Amethyst brought it up. Since the day that Rio met Amara and entered her life, she was already against him; she disliked him. "I know. You were always sarcastic to him even before," Agatha replied and chuckled. How can she even forget those days? "Before Amara left, I was having this suspicion, Agatha." Their eyes crossed as Amethyst paused. It was always weighing her mind."What is it? I'm starting to feel
Chapter 48Amara's mother"Sir," one of their men stopped him from going inside the hospital as he arrived back."What's the matter?" He asked as his eyes roamed around. The people were all down. The nurses were crying and some of them were trembling as if they were shocked about something. He eyed back their men who were suddenly here. None of them can even look straight in his eyes."What the hell happened?" He asked with the fear that could not be hidden from his eyes. His chest began to pound heavily. "Sir," the man in front of him burst into tears. He could not eye him. "Tell me," he said in his coldest voice. "Y-Your wife," he uttered as his voice broke. It seems like his remaining strength suddenly left his body. He wanted to crumple on the ground already as he felt weak. But then, he managed to run swiftly inside the hospital, not minding the people who were around the hospital room of his wife. As soon as his feet stopped in front of her room with the door wide open, his
Chapter 49Rage"Her mother is dead and she has no idea about it," Misty muttered while staring into nothing. Clyde eyed her before he shook his head. They were both in his restaurant with a lot of tourists eating around. Misty has been anxious since Gavin told them about what happened yesterday."It's better for her now. If she finds out about it, she will be in danger. Gavin is the one who's been catching her and sacrificing a lot from the very beginning," Clyde discussed and blew out a short frustrated breath."But still, it's her mother." Misty frowned, tired of thinking. "This is the best for her," Clyde said. "She was killed with one shot on her forehead, Gavin." Estevan said on the phone. Gavin was walking repeatedly in the garden while figuring out what is the best thing to do. "We have to find out which clan is attacking them. It can't be different from the clan from the other attacks they encountered," he discussed as he bit his lower lip a bit. "It's becoming bloody. Am
Chapter 50 Next plan"We will go there together," Gabe said on the phone while Larisa was still preparing. "What? Are you crazy?" Gavin quickly asked. Clyde, who was with him, stopped cooking. Gavin has been there, spending his time in his kitchen."The last time I checked, we're still in our right minds. We're going to imply that we are with them," Gabe explained over the phone. Gavin shut his eyes emphatically while Clyde was looking at him, changing his expression each time. "They might think differently, Gabe. What if they suspect us even more?" Gavin began to walk repeatedly now. Clyde noticed that he always does that every time he's stressed or frustrated about something. "Chill, Gavin, we got this. Just make sure that your woman is fine there," Gabe answered and chuckled. Gavin became silent for a moment as he took a deep breath."Update me," he uttered, having no choice. "What is it again?" Clyde asked while busy chopping the vegetables."Gabe is going to the funeral," he
Chapter 51Face off"Where's Uncle?" Amethyst asked Agatha who was upstairs. Her eyes went where Agatha was looking. There was their Uncle, staring into nothing while the tears from his eyes never stopped from falling. The picture frame of Amara's mother was on the table. Who would have thought that this would actually happen to their family?Amethyst blew out a short breath. "I don't think he will get over this," Agatha uttered in distress. They could not help but to pity him. He was always a good man to his wife and to his daughter. They used to witness a huge and tender smile from his lips before. His laughter that used to fill their ears. Right now, all of that vanishes. The tender smile on his lips was erased and his deafening laughter became a loud cry as he mourned for his loss."I should talk to him," Agatha said and went downstairs, leaving Amethyst alone. She has been comforting him since his wife died. "Uncle," Agatha called. It seems like he didn't hear her as he didn't
Chapter 52Search"We finally met," Amethyst said as they both accepted his hand.Their hands were together just like how they didn't move their eyes away from each other. Amethyst cannot read his eyes and so Gavin was. They were both building a huge wall to hide each other's secrets. "You refused to search your island the last time we sent our men here," Agatha brought up. Gavin glanced at the man behind them, and he remembered who that man was. He was the one who went here and tried to search the island."It's because your men came here as if they own the world. I find it really disrespectful. You should not skip the formality," he drew that wide smile on his lips. But in Amethyst's eyes, it was a sly smile. "What kind of formality do you want? That's why we're here to ask for your permission," Amethyst said firmly, trying to read through his eyes."We have a letter," Agatha raised the piece of paper before handing it to him. He paused but didn't look away from them. "I'll go to M
Chapter 53Tattoo"I told you, the person you were looking for is not here." He said with a sly smile as he walked them out of the island. Some of the tourists were already looking at them. How can't they? They are all wearing black. Their faces were all fierce as well. "We just have to make sure of everything," Amethyst answered blankly as she faced him again. "I want to understand why Gabe and Larisa went to us, telling us that your clan is not our enemy." She mentioned. Gavin can see through her eyes how confused she is. They were probably thinking why they suddenly did it when all the clans around them were cutting ties with them. The Clybornes, one of the powerful clans, made a connection with them beyond the chaos they were in. "We've experienced what you're experiencing," Gavin replied. "I'm sure you know how Larisa and Gabe had been through before getting their happy ending. We just want to help," Agatha knew that they would not just offer help. Why would they drag themsel
