River POV I take my blouse off and drop it on the floor. I see Gabe’s eyes burning into my skin.I take the skirt off and I am left with my lingerie. His eyes go up and down my body and then he smirks. He takes longs steps to get to me and wraps his arms around me pulling me into his embrace. My hands fly to his hair while his hands touch my ass lifting me up so I can wrap my legs around his waist. He pushed my back against the wall as his lips fall on my neck placing soft kisses down my body. He starts near my ear whispering how beautiful I am and goes down my neck to my collarbone and then back to my neck. My hands keep his head in place as I feel him growing between my l

River POV I wake up and I look around trying to figure out where I am and I see Gabe sleeping with his arm across my stomach. Slowly I love his arm and I sit on the bed. God. He is so beautiful and he looks like an angel sleeping. Maybe that’s why his name is Gabriel. As in Angel Gabriel. I pass my hand lightly through his hair and I get up grabbing the t-shirt he had given me yesterday and I put my shoes on. I call a Uber and I walk out of his apartment. When I look back I smile remembering last night. But I know he just wanted to have sex with me. I didn’t want to be in the position of him telling me to leave. I would be too embarrassed. I get in the Uber and the drive home takes around forty minutes and when I get home I sit in my living room huggi

Gabriel POV  I open my eyes and blink a few times trying to figure out where I am. I look around and I see River asleep next to me. It is the first time I actually fell asleep next to a woman. With my fingers, I move a strand of her hair behind her ear that fell on her face. I smile looking at her. Her cheeks are rosy and she is sleeping with parted lips. All of a sudden her body starts shaking and I open my eyes wide. Shit. What the hell is happening. I get out of bed and I start calling for River but she’s not responding and only having seizures. I grab my phone from my pocket and dial 911. I call the ambulance and I run to open the door. They told me what to do to stabilise River. When they arrived they examined her but she wasn’t responsive and my mind was going foggy. She has a high tempe

River POV I woke up a little later today. I have been doing all my university assignments at home and sending them by email to the professors. Gabe spoke to the university and explained what happened and how sick I was and they agreed to let me work from home. At least I have some distraction. Today Pedro and Jonah are coming over to spend the afternoon with me. It is Saturday after all and all we want to do is watch movies and eat junk food. I am careful with what I eat because having someone around that can cook for me all the time will make me put weight on or become diabetic.I hear the door ringing and as I was getting up to open it I felt extremely dizzy. I don’t know why. This always happens after I eat. I feel dizzy and nauseous.

Gabriel POVIt’s been two weeks. The doctor has been around and taken another round of blood tests and River keeps getting worse. There are days that she is okay and she feels like new but the last three days she’s been really bad and that made her lose a lot of weight as she can’t keep any food in her. I am getting extremely worried. She has been complaining of headaches again. She has gastrointestinal exams this week so they can check how she’s doing. River looks like a skeleton. Her eyes are dark and she’s got horrible black bags under her eyes. She keeps throwing up constantly. Even if she doesn’t eat anything. Her body is weak and she’s constantly cold and shivering. If she’s not throwing up she’s asleep but her body is not taking it. She hasn’t had any food the last twenty-four hours but she’s still feeling sick and she’s struggling to wake up. S
