Gabriel POV
It’s been three weeks since River is back in my life and I couldn’t be happier. River went back to work in Michael’s hotel. She missed having a life. As she put it out. She said working did good things to her and I’m not stopping her from doing whatever makes her happy.
She resumed her training with my guys and she’s shootings a lot better. Not to mention she wants to fight me now.
So here we are at the gym.
I take my t-shirt off. I know she gets distracted by my muscled torso.
I can see river going red and I smile walking to her while I adjusting my sweat pants lowering them so she can imagine the rest.
She gulps and I place a kiss on her head.
The confrontation happened.
Let me know what you think.
River POV“Where are we going?” - I ask once I see the dress on the bed.It’s a beautiful long red dress with a thigh split. I know it will hug all of my curves and show all my attributes. I look at Gabe and he smiles. “It’s a surprise” - Gabe tells me“You know I don’t like surprises” - I tell him crossing my arms“You just have to trust me. You will like this one” - He tells me. I take a deep breath and I walk into the bathroom and I turn the shower on.I am brushing my teeth when Gabe walks in and wraps his arms around my waist from behind me.He presses his body against mine and I feel his bulge against my ass.
Gabriel POVI leave River with mom and I walk to stand next to dad, Michael gets drinks for them and keeps an eye out for my woman. I don’t want her anywhere near the shit show that is about to happen. “How are we playing this?” - I ask grabbing a glass of whiskey from the waitress that passes in front of me.I drink the entire content and Amelia walks to us with Ethan.“All ready” - she saysI look at them and Ethan nods his head.“He brought the bitch” - Dad says“Good, I’ll end them both” - I say and Mel smiles“Just don’t forget she was her friend” - Mel says“The im

Gabriel POVI walk into Mike’s office in the hotel and I sit behind his desk. I hate doing this. Why didn’t he leave his assistant to do this?I take a deep breath and I start reading the contracts. Why did he have to go on holidays and leave me here? I know he doesn’t trust anyone. He’s kind of like me that way. But he’s more serious than me. I guess it comes with the territory of being a big fancy CEO. I pass my hands through my hair and I keep doing his fucking job. I know I was the one that told him to go on a vacation somewhere but he didn’t have to leave me dealing with this. I wasn’t made for the business world. My kind of business is ruled by fear. I prefer weapons to people. “Mr Lockwood” - I hear his secretary say as sh
River POVAs we arrive at the club Pedro shakes hands with the security outside and he allows us inside without waiting in line. We hear a lot of people protesting but we ignore it and we smile at the security. Once inside I am hit by the smell of alcohol and sweat. I scrunch my nose but I try and ignore it. We walk to the bar and Alicia lifts herself up at the bar and hugs the barman from the counter. They giggle for a bit and then she looks at me. The music is loud and I can barely hear anything. I approach her“What do you want to drink?” - she asks “Vodka and coke please” - I reply and she places the order. I keep looking around and moving my body slightly to the rhythm of the music.
River POVI finished class and as I am walking to the subway I bump into Jonah. “Hey” - I say half hugging him“Just the girl I was looking for” - he says “What’s up?” - I ask him as we both walk together. “Isn’t this the guy from the club?” - he asks showing me his phone. “Yeah” - I say grabbing it from him and scrolling to see what it says about him.I read the article and it’s basically nonsense. It’s just saying he is still single and available. Although he took this supermodel to the premiere of some movie. Is he famous or something? When I see his name my mouth goes dry.
River POVAfter spilling the wine on top of Gabriel because he touched my leg without my permission I start to freak out. I will get fired for this. Shit shit.What was I thinking? I could’ve said something. This can get me fired. He is the owner’s brother. Shit. “Are you insane?” - I hear Alicia say as she walks into the kitchen after me.“I know, I know” - I say pacing around.“What was that all about?” - she asks shaking her head“Was an accident” - I repeat his words.“An accident my ass, what happened?” - Alicia asks“He to
