Never Say Goodbye Epilogue
Arian Six months later Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today in the sight of God to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Not to be entered lightly, holy matrimony should be entered into, solemnly and with reverence and honor." The priest begins in Italian. "Into this holy agreement, these two persons come together to be joined. If any person or people here can show cause as to why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace." Gabriel and I turn at the same time to look behind us but no one speaks up and we face the priest again. Majority of the people here probably don't understand what he's saying so we're good to go. "Do you, Gabriel Emerson Cruz, take Arian Katerina Macavinta to be your lawful wedded wife and live together in the estate of holy matrimony? Do you promise to love, comfort, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or for worse as long as you both shall live?" The pri
Never Say Goodbye Prologue
GabrielSeven years ago There are two kinds of decisions people make that inadvertently change their lives - either for better or for worse. The first decision is one where you know that what you're doing at that moment would not make you regret your entire existence - you're happy about that decision because it's beneficial to you and in the long run, you prove to whoever almost made you second guess yourself that you were right in making that particular decision.The second decision is one where you have absolutely no choice but to make that decision. You have a tight noose around your neck that would never be loosened until you decide to just give in. It is a matter of life and death - a decision where lives hang in the balance and you're the only one that can prevent any disastrous thing from happening.Now... You must be wondering what the hell I'm talking about. My name is Gabriel Emerson Brillantes Cruz and my life - my very perfect life that I'm sure every man wants to live
Never Say Goodbye Chapter One
ArianI sit in my car gripping the steering wheel tightly as I stare at the courthouse. I feel myself starting to panic as I think of getting out of my car, going inside the courthouse to testify against a monster but I quickly remember the mantra I told myself to repeat every time I feel the panic setting in and I say it.It calms me enough to get me out of the safe confines of my car and then I grab my purse, slung it over my shoulder and close my car door then press the lock button on the key fob and walk away from it before I change my mind.I make my way into the building through the sliding doors and straight to the courtroom where the trial is being held. I meet my lawyer Diane Devane outside talking to her colleague and I stay back but she turns her head, sees me and she smiles."You made it." She grins. "Excuse me." She says to her colleague and makes her way over to me and gives me a tight hug."I almost hightailed it out of here." I chuckle nervously. "Do I really have to..
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Two
Gabriel I've been wanting to punch Lucille in the face for years now and after seven years... I still don't feel differently as I stare at her from across the room. She'd trashed my clothes and shoes and the whole thing is nothing but a mess. Not that I mind the fact that I'll have to buy a whole new wardrobe - it's just the fact that she keeps repeating the same old thing every day for the past seven years that has me so pissed off. She wants another freaking baby. She's yet to show one ounce of love towards Kareena and she wants another baby. If she can't love the one she already has, how can find it in herself to love a newborn baby?Could it be that Simon was telling the truth about Lucille cheating on me and wanting to pin the baby on me? But then, I don't think Uncle Carlos's doctor would have had any reason to lie to me about the test because Kareena is the female version of me."Damn you!" I couldn't help but yell. "I will never give you another baby. Hang me by my balls fo
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Three
ArianI step out of the airport building into the blinding sun and quickly retrieve my sunshades from my bag and put it on. I have finally arrived at my destination without looking over my shoulder. Maybe I did look over my shoulder once or twice on the plane to be sure that Rafael had not sent his men after me or my parents didn't have someone tailing me but I was in the clear and only then did I heave a sigh of relief.A cab pulls up in front of me and the driver gets out, rounds the hood and comes to stand in front of me with a smile on his face which makes me wary."Where are you going, Miss? I can take you there." He offers."Uh..." I pause and quickly check my bag for the address of the place I'm going to. It's been twenty years since I moved away and I can see that everything has changed. Hopefully, my resting place will not have changed location or else I'm toast."Miss?" He calls."Do you know this address?" I thrust my little notebook in front of his face. I'd Google search
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Four
ArianI didn't comment because I realized that I have nothing to say. It would have been an epic love story if the boy had married the girl and they lived happily ever after but it's none of my business so we just continue our tour of the place until we get to her office."Tea?" She offers after telling me to sit."Um... Water will be nice. Thank you ma'am." I reply as I take my seat. I look around the office and sigh, suddenly feeling very exhausted. I didn't sleep a wink last night due to the nightmares I had and the fear that I would never get to leave Mexico in peace but sitting here now - a million miles away from Mexico - I am able to relax and think about what the future would hold for me."Here you go dear." She walks over to hand me a cup of water with the coaster."Thank you." I receive it, careful not to let my shaky hands spill water all over the floor and I take a sip.It's silent in the office after I finish my water but I don't mind it. I take out my phone, turn it on a
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Five
Gabriel Arian Macavinta.The name floats around in my head all through the drive home. Like I expected, Kareena conked out not even five minutes after I drove out of the premises. We'd both enjoyed ourselves and today is a day I'll never forget because even if it was for a few hours, I'd had my reprieve from Lucille.She'd not called or texted to ask me where I am except the one where she told me she had a photoshoot and wouldn't be home until tomorrow.I flex my fingers on the steering wheel and frown when I still feel the lingering aftereffects of touching Arian's hand. It had happened only once and that was twenty years ago when I first met Kareena and stole her first kiss. I'd have remained single and searching for her if Lucille had not spoiled my plans by making me sleep with her and getting her pregnant. Even if I were to finally meet Kareena after so many years - still be in love with her after so many years - I wouldn't be able to do anything about us because of Lucille.I
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Six
Gabriel "How was school today sweetheart?" I ask Kareena after I hugged and rained kisses on her face making her squirm. "Good daddy." She beams. "My teacher gave us an assignment to do. It's going to be tough." "Why's that?" I frown. "She wants us to write about our mothers. Why do we like our mothers better than our fathers." Kareena makes a face. "But I love you more than mommy, daddy." I lift her up in my arms and hug her. "It's okay to love your mommy too, Kar. I know she doesn't show you that she loves you but I know she does." I tell her. "You just told a white lie, daddy." She pats my cheek, making me laugh. "You and I both know she doesn't love me." "She does." I insist. "She just doesn't know how to show it." Kary shakes her head. "It's more like a debate though. I'm on team mommy while Shania and Amber Grace are on team daddy." She pouts. "I wanted to change mine but teacher Nora said I can't." "Fine then. Just write about an imaginary mommy. How you want your momm
