บททั้งหมดของ Mated To The Barclay Brothers : บทที่ 161 - บทที่ 170

**Gael's POV**Just when I was hugging Turstin, I suddenly laid eyes on Cole. This immediately made me freeze, as I wasn't expecting to see him in the mansion. “Why do you look at me that way? Are you not happy to see me?” Cole asked. I could tell from his expression that he wasn't pleased with the fact that I didn't show that much reaction when I saw him. He can't blame me for this, can he? Everything about the present is still very new to me. I still don't know whether I should trust him or not. The fact that he had marked me was the only thing causing me to waver now. At first, I thought he marked me to keep the others away from me. But then when Thale and Alan marked me, I got confused. I asked them if it was possible to get marked by them after I had been marked by Cole, and they said it was highly possible. I want to believe that he didn't do that because he wanted to control me. But then, whenever I see him, the memories of what he did to me in the past just won't go away.

**Cole's POV**“W…what are you talking about?”“What I mean is, I don't know since when my feelings changed towards you to the point that I wanted you so badly in my life. This is something that has never happened before with anyone.”"I wish I understood what that means, but I honestly don't."I wanted to tell him that everything changed after Stacey's betrayal. It was like a dream to me too. At first, I wanted revenge, but the more I searched for Gael the more I craved and longed for him. I thought it was all the feeling of wanting to find him to exert my revenge. But when I finally found him, that wasn't the case at all. I discovered that I wanted him for real. It seemed as though my feelings were unleashed. And when I finally let myself be immersed into him, that was all it took for every hate I had for Gael to wear off. I didn't see him as a faggot anymore, but I saw him as someone fragile. Someone I want to protect with everything in me. He became even more fragile than Stacey

**Gael's POV***The next day, I was supposed to meet with Turstin but he left the mansion to attend to an emergency in his company. Not only that, the others had all gone back to their businesses, leaving just me in the mansion. I wouldn't deny the fact that I felt useless. I wanted to do something worthwhile, but I'm not sure I'll ever have the opportunity to go back to my apartment any time soon. Well, it's not like they are depriving me of going to my apartment. I think it's just me and the fact that I missed them. Maybe I'm here in the mansion because I wanted to be with them for a little while. I sat on the patio, and drank a glass of fruit juice while staring at the clear sky. How I missed this place. It has always been my favorite spot to be. While I was basking in peaceful moment, I suddenly heard my phone vibrate in my pocket. I creased my brow, wondering who was calling me. Looking at the caller, I froze for a few seconds. Why was she suddenly calling me again? I thou

**Turstin / Gael's POV***I was mad and this was because I came early just so I could spend time with Gael. Who would have thought that he would go out to be with a woman he knows full well has a crush on him. “Turstin, I know why you're like this, but let's be honest here. You know for a fact that I won't be able to do anything with her even if there's a possibility of what you're afraid of.”“Well, I don't care. The fact that I know she's in love with you disqualifies her from being your friend. Take Fred for an example, if you tell me you're with Fred, I have no reason to stop you even though I still wouldn't want to see you with anyone. But then, it's better than seeing you with someone I know likes you.”Even though I had said I wasn't going to disclose my feelings this way, I can't stop myself. “Turstin, I know I can't argue with you about this but all I'm asking is that you give me a little time with her. An hour will do.”“What are you talking about? So, you still have the t

**Victoria's POV**As soon as I was informed that I had a visitor, I quickly rushed to the visitors room. To my greatest surprise, it was no one else but Tracy. She seemed to be pacing around but stopped the moment she laid eyes on me. “Miss Victoria, for barging into you when you're busy,” she said, walking over to meet me.“No, of course not. That's not the reason. I'm actually here because I wanted to see you. Tell me, what's going on? You seem to be in a good mood.”“You're right, I'm in a good mood,” she said, smiling from ear to ear. I creased my brow, wondering what could have happened. “So, are you here to share the good news with me?” I asked, taking a seat. She took a deep breath and took the seat next to me. “You see, I want to thank you for the encouragement you gave. I actually took your advice when you said I can't give up on him just like that. I didn't give up and, you know I pulled some tricks. I'm still shocked that it worked for me.”“My goodness! Do you mean G
