MasukGabriel’s P.O.V. (Continued)“You damn cripple! Did you forget that I am also a black belt in taekwondo!” Gloria growled at Celia, pushing her wheelchair back so hard that it tipped over.Celia’s eyes widened in terror, and her terrified scream echoed through the dining room.“Help!” Gloria continued screaming and threw the knife away.Then…. She stumbled backward as if she was scared for her life.“Julius is already there,” Victor informed me hurriedly, but my eyes were glued to the screen in shock.Gloria wasn’t wrong.She really had martial arts skills.But the way she was screaming for help, it sounded as if someone had put knives on her neck.“If it weren’t for Mr. Westfield, I would have chopped your hand for raising a knife at me.” Gloria continued threatening Celia while screaming for help.“Instructed Julius to lock Celia in her room and remove all the sharp and pointed things. Don’t let her harm herself.” I instructed Victor calmly and shook my head gently.I was sure that i
Gabriel’s P.O.V. (Continued)Victor shrugged his shoulders slightly but looked troubled.“I know,” I said to him stiffly when I realised what exactly he wanted to say but was afraid that it could offend me.After receiving everything about Celia’s past three years abroad, I already knew that she didn’t come to me because I recovered from my injury and made a comeback.She was sent here to separate me from Lauren.Whoever was after Lauren, his sole purpose was to make all the men around Lauren leave her.The accident four years ago separated her from Vincent, and then Celia’s comeback made me divorce her.I sucked in a breath while sitting in the back seat of my car when I thought about the attack on Vincent three days ago.I was there, and I watched the whole shootout while hiding somewhere safe in the restaurant.The Holster family suppressed everything about the attack, and this was the right thing to do, but now I had a hunch that it was also related to the same obsession of that m
Gabriel’s P.O.V.“They announced their research yesterday, Gabe. I have no hope left to stand up again.” Celia cried while looking at me with resentment.I put the empty mug of my coffee back on the breakfast table and wiped my mouth with the napkin before looking at her.Her eyes were swollen, and her whole face was pale.It was clear that she had cried all night, but it didn’t make me feel any sympathy or guilt.I had stopped going to her room to bring her to the dining room for breakfast every morning.Gloria just brought her when I was about to finish my breakfast.Gloria delayed her arrival intentionally and I was glad for that.“And?” I asked her, and her face went blank instantly.I leaned backward and took my phone from the table.“This is the last time that I am reminding you that their research doesn’t offer a treatment plan or any guarantee of a fully healed body at the end of the research.” My voice was firm, and my eyes were cold.She just stared at me, too stunned to eve
Vincent’s P.O.V. (Continued)“I called you twice. Check the call log,” she demanded, her anger flaring up.I frowned but did what she asked me.The moment I saw two missed calls of her, I pursed my lips into a thin line.I was talking to my father at that time.“If it weren’t for the surveillance footage, I would have driven home by now,” Lauren grumbled angrily.“I…. I was talking to Dad,” I whispered, guilty and scared.She didn’t speak, but she hung up.I sighed in defeat, my shoulders slumping down at the same time.Lauren wasn’t an easy-going girl, but she had always been reasonable.Caellum and I were her only weaknesses.And I wasn’t picking up her calls when I am injured.“Are we still carrying the plan on her birthday?” Nolan asked me cautiously.Coaxing Lauren wasn’t that difficult, but right now….Her birthday was only twenty days ahead of now.The same day I wanted to propose marriage to her.I looked at Nolan, who looked at me apologetically.I guess he already knew why I
Vincent’s P.O.V. (Continued)“I didn’t go anywhere, Vincent. Why are you yelling at me?” Dad asked me angrily.“It’s Nolan, Dad. He is also injured, and yet he is running all the time,” I explained to him hurriedly when I realised that I asked him a question and then yelled at Nolan the next second.“You.” Dad growled but snorted angrily.“Let me help you change your position, Mr. Holster,” Adam said to me politely.“I am waiting,” Dad said to me. I sighed and then put the phone on the armrest.With Adam’s help, I finally moved my upper body to a comfortable sitting position.My back was stiff and aching.I sat in a half-lying position for more than two hours.I picked up the phone from the armrest.Adam brought a small stool to put it under my feet.“Thanks, Adam." I thanked him and took the laptop from Nolan.“Just sit here (I pointed towards the single couch), and do whatever you need to do,” I instructed Nolan calmly before putting the phone on my ear again.“Dad.”“I am here.”I
Vincent’s P.O.V.“He left the restaurant right after the shootout, Mr. Holster. That’s why we couldn’t find him.” Nolan reported in a grim but cautious tone.“He left his booth two minutes before you. So, the restaurant didn’t pay attention to his whereabouts after that.”Nolan was disappointed because they left Gabriel with evidence of that shootout, but he was also injured at that time, and because of my condition, I couldn’t get the whole data on all the guests present there at that time.“I will handle the matters with him, and so far, he has turned out a big help for us.” I said to Nolan calmly.He didn’t look relieved or satisfied, but I didn’t blame him for that.He had been with me for more than six years, and I knew how obsessed he is with work perfection.So, this was like a failure to him.“You did a great job, Nolan. You are also injured, and instead of resting, you have been running around to handle the aftermath.” I still comforted him with a faint smile.“But I still fa
Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)“What the f**k? Are you trying to kill me by popping out of nowhere in front of me?” I yelled at Gabriel Westfield, my now ex-husband.My hold on my suitcase was so tight that I almost dug my nails inside my palm in fear.“What are you wearing?” he asked me in a shocked
Lauren’s P.O.V.I looked at the stack of cold white papers on which black letters were mocking at me. Three years of endurance, hardship, and commitment brought what….A Divorce Agreement…..I am just a normal human.When I signed up for this assignment, I knew what could come my way in the future,
Gabriel’s P.O.V.The pen slipped from my fingers when another wave of headache hit me.I didn’t know when I stopped signing the documents, but the headache is now troubling more than ever.After Lauren’s departure, nothing went right.I didn’t want to admit it, but I couldn’t deny that with Lauren
Lauren’s P.O.V.“During the first phase of the treatment plan, the crucial problem was to prepare the patient psychologically for the treatment. They suddenly lose their mobility, and this sudden change in their lives, the depression engulfed every positive thought present in their mind and hope in
