One Night Stand With My Future Uncle In Law ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN
CHAPTER FIFTY-SIXGabriella's POVThe elevator doors opened onto the executive floor and I stepped out into the quiet hallway. The lights were dim and the office was empty. Everyone had gone home for the night. The only sound was the hum of the air conditioning and the distant echo of my footsteps on the polished floor.I walked toward Mariano's office. The door was slightly ajar. I pushed it open and stepped inside.Mariano was standing by the window with his back to me. He was wearing a dark suit and his hair was neatly combed. He looked tired. His shoulders were tense and his hand was pressed against his side."Mariano," I said.He turned around. His face softened when he saw me. "Gabriella. Thank you for coming.""You said you wanted to take me on a date." I looked around the empty office. "This does not look like a date."He laughed. It was a tired sound. "I know. I am sorry. I wanted to take you somewhere nice. Somewhere romantic. But something came up.""Something always comes

Gabriella POV I found Raphael sitting on the soft velvet couch in the main living room when I finally got home. His phone was held loosely in his hand, and his face was drawn, pale, and thoroughly tired. He looked up the second the front door clicked shut, and his expression shifted into immediate concern as I stepped into the warm room."You look terrible, Gabriella," he said plainly, setting his phone face-down on the coffee table."Thanks," I replied, tossing my purse onto the side table. "You look great too."He let out a short laugh. It was a weak sound, but it was genuine enough to break the heavy tension between us. "Sit down. Tell me what happened out there."I walked over and sank into the couch beside him, letting out a long, shuddering breath. I leaned my head all the way back against the cushions and stared up at the dark wooden beams on the ceiling. The words were jumbled inside my mind, colliding with one another. I did not know where to start or how to organize the cha

Gabriella POV "What truth are you talking about, Mariano?"Mariano did not answer right away. He walked slowly across the carpet toward me, uncrossed my arms, and took both of my shaking hands into his warm palms. He looked down into my eyes with an intense, serious expression."Valentina has been lying to you, Gabriella," he said quietly. "She has been lying to you, to your family, and to everyone else in this building. Her sister did not die in a random, tragic car accident five years ago."I stared up at him, my heart skipping a beat. "What are you saying?""Her sister was murdered," Mariano revealed, his fingers tightening around mine. "Her sister was actively working with a rival crime family behind our backs. She was feeding them internal company documents, financial records, and security details. She was helping our enemies destroy the Castillo family from the inside out. When we finally discovered what she was doing, we confronted her. She panicked, she ran away from us, and

Gabriella POV The heavy silence inside the private office was thick and suffocating. Valentina stood frozen in the open doorway, her breath catching in her throat as hot tears streamed down her pale cheeks. Her arms trembled violently at her sides, and her wide eyes were fixed on Mariano with a look of utter shock, as if she were staring at a complete stranger who had betrayed her.Mariano did not jump back. His posture remained calm, but his dark, mismatched eyes narrowed, and a dangerous, sharp edge settled into his tone."Valentina," Mariano said, his voice flat and perfectly steady. "What are you doing inside my office?""What am I doing here?" Valentina’s voice cracked loudly on the last word, breaking the quiet room. "I came up here to warn you! I came to tell you that someone in this city is actively trying to destroy your life! And instead, I walk in and find you like this with her?"She raised her right arm, her index finger trembling as she pointed directly at my face.I sl

Gabriella's POVMariano's mouth was hot and relentless against mine. The taste of him filled my senses, drowning out every lingering thought of the press conference, Davis, and the madness downstairs. His hands gripped my hips tightly, lifting me up until my feet were off the ground and my thighs were wrapped around his waist.I gasped into his mouth as he turned and pressed my back directly against the thick, smooth surface of his mahogany desk. Papers and folders scattered across the floor, but neither of us cared."Mariano," I breathed out against his lips, my fingers tangled in his hair. "Someone could walk in.""Let them," he growled low in his throat. His mismatched eyes burned into mine, dark with pure, unfiltered desire. "I have waited weeks for this. Weeks of lying in a bed, thinking I might never hold you like this again."He slid his hands up the sides of my body, gathering the fabric of my dress in his fingers and pulling it up over my hips. His warm, calloused palms brush

Gabriella POV "I am fine," he said softly. He raised his free hand and gently pressed his warm palm against my cheek. "I needed to do this today. I needed to do it for you. I needed to do it for us.""Mariano—""I am so sorry," he interrupted, cutting off my words. His voice cracked slightly with raw emotion. "I am so deeply sorry for the terrible fight we had. I am sorry for accusing you of things that were not true. I was completely wrong. I was consumed by jealousy, I was stupid, and I should have trusted you from the very beginning."I felt hot tears spill over my eyelashes and run down my face. "You really should have trusted me," I whispered, my voice trembling. "You should have believed me when I told you the truth.""I know," he said, pulling me close to his chest with his strong arm. "I know I failed you. And I am going to spend the rest of my life making it up to you, every single day."He leaned down and pressed his lips firmly against mine. He kissed me right there in the

Gabriella's POV "Excuse me?" His voice snapped me out of my daze. "Huh?" I looked up at him. God he was more handsome up closer. His eyes were deep like whirlpools slowly dragging me in. "I believe you must be in the wrong place." He said, his voice was deep but the sound slid through m
