One Night Stand With My Future Uncle In Law FORTY FIVE
Gabriella's POV I appreciated that more than I could say. The car stopped in front of a large building with a neon sign that read "LUCKY STRIKE" in flickering letters. There were no cars in the parking lot. No people on the street.I got out of the car and walked toward the entrance. The driver stayed with his engine running. I looked back and waved at him. He waved back but did not leave.The front door of the arcade was unlocked. I pushed it open and walked inside.The place was empty. The machines were dark. The lights were off except for a few emergency lamps in the corners. I could see silhouettes of guards standing near the exits. They were not moving. They were just watching."Miss Hale."I turned. Vincent was standing near the entrance to a hallway. His face was in shadow. But I could see his shoulders. He was tense."Vincent." I walked toward him. "What is going on? Why is the arcade empty?""Mariano wanted privacy." He gestured toward the hallway. "He is in the center. Foll

Gabriella's POVMy mother's hand shot out and grabbed my wrist before I could take another step. Her grip was surprisingly strong for a woman her age. She pulled me back toward the window and I stumbled against the wall."Get back inside right now," she said. Her voice was low but sharp."Mom, I need to go.""You need to go where exactly?" She pulled me through the window and I landed back on my bedroom floor with a thud. She closed the window behind me and locked it. "It is almost midnight. You are dressed like you are going to a party. And you were climbing out of a window like a teenager sneaking out to see a boy.""I am not a teenager anymore.""Then stop acting like one." She crossed her arms and stood in front of the window like she was guarding it. "Who are you meeting?""A friend."My mother's eyebrows went up. "A friend. Gabriella, you do not have any friends right now. Davis made sure of that. He called every single person you used to spend time with and told them to stay aw

Gabriella's POV Raphael was quiet again. "Good. That is good. Keep working for him. Stay close to him. But be careful, Gabriella. He is a powerful man. And powerful men have secrets that even they do not understand.""What is that supposed to mean?""It means I have a weird feeling about him. A feeling I cannot explain. Just promise me you will be careful.""I promise.""Good. I love you, Gabriella. I will call you tomorrow.""I love you too, Raphael."He hung up.I stood in the hallway with my phone in my hand and stared at the wall. Something was wrong with Raphael. Something was wrong with Melissa. He had tried to hide it, but I knew him too well. I knew when he was lying. And he had been lying about her.I walked back into the dining room. My father was still at the table. My mother was coming in with a tray of tea."Raphael says hello," I said. "He misses you both."My mother smiled. "Tell him we miss him too. And tell him to bring Melissa home soon. I have not seen her in month
One Night Stand With My Future Uncle In Law FORTY TWO
Gabriella's POVThe call connected on the third ring. I was still standing in the middle of the dining room with my hand throbbing and my heart racing. The house was quiet behind me. My mother had gone to the kitchen to make tea. My father was still sitting at the table with his head in his hands."Gabriella?" His voice came through the speaker. Warm but distracted. The way he always sounded when he had too many things on his mind. "Is everything okay? You never call this late.""Raphael." I said his name and something in my chest loosened. Just a little. "I need to talk to you. It is important.""What happened? Is Dad okay?""Dad is fine. He is sitting right here. He is recovering. But that is not why I called." I walked out of the dining room and into the hallway where no one could hear me. "I need to tell you about everything that has been happening here."Raphael was quiet for a moment. "Everything? Like what exactly?"So I told him. Everything. Vegas. The engagement. The way Davi

Gabriella's POVMy father stood up from the table slowly, using the back of his chair to steady himself. He had not fully recovered his strength, but the look on his face was the same one I had seen when he punched Davis in the living room. Hard and determined and completely unafraid."Tell him to leave," my father said to the butler. "Tell him he is not welcome here."The butler hesitated. "Sir, he is already at the front door. He walked past the gate before I could stop him."The front door opened before any of us could respond.Davis walked into the dining room like he owned the house. He was wearing a suit that cost more than my mother's china. His hair was perfectly styled. His smile was wide and careless."Mr. and Mrs. Hale," he said. "Gabriella. I hope I am not interrupting your dinner.""You are interrupting," my father said.Davis's smile did not falter. "I came to see Gabriella. We have things to discuss. Important things.""Whatever you have to discuss can wait until tomorr

Gabriella's POVI did not sleep well.The house was too quiet after the footsteps stopped outside my door. Every creak of the floorboards made me sit up in bed and strain my ears toward the hallway. I kept expecting to hear Lucia's voice or her sharp laugh or the sound of her heels clicking against the hardwood floor. But nothing came. Just silence. Heavy and pressing.When morning finally came, I got up earlier than I needed to. I showered and dressed in the bathroom with the door locked, which was something I had never done before in this house. I came out and packed my bag with the things I would need for work. I did not know if I would see Mariano before I left. I did not know if I wanted to.I opened my bedroom door and stepped into the hallway.Lucia was leaning against the wall directly across from my door.She was already dressed. A cream silk blouse and tight black trousers. Her hair was perfectly curled. Her makeup was flawless. She looked like she had been standing there fo

Gabriella's Pov The silence in the room changed. It became something heavier. Something no one knew how to react to.Davis's mouth opened. "Promoted? To what?"Mariano turned to face him. "To my personal secretary."Davis stared at him. "That does not make any sense. She does not have the experien

Gabriella's POV"You look better today."Kristen said it the moment I walked through the department doors. Her voice carried just enough warmth to sound like a compliment and just enough of something else to make sure it did not land as one."Thank you, Kristen." I set my bag down at my desk and pu

Mariano's Pov "Excuse me?" I said."Huh?" She looked up at me and whatever she had been about to say disappeared from her face because she was still looking at my eyes the way people always did. Not with the superstitious unease of the older Castillo family members. Just pure uncomplicated fascina
