Arian Our day of fun was ruined and the sexual tension that had sizzled between us was long gone as well. Gabriel had driven home in silence and I didn't bother making small talk either because I was still reeling from Mrs Cruz's apology. If I'd not saved her son, she might have blamed me for the shooting and she'd have done everything in her power to get me out of her son's life but I'd saved him so I was her heroine - for now.By dinnertime, I'm out of my mood but Gabriel is still very much silent and his attitude makes me wonder if I did or said anything I wasn't supposed to earlier at the hospital. I don't ask him any questions until we're getting ready for bed and despite the awareness that there won't be any kinky fuckery going on tonight, I expected him to pull me close like he usually does but he just turns his back to me, mutters a bland goodnight and turns off the lights.I stare at the ceiling, fuming about his childish behavior even though I don't have any right to. He'

ArianSomething feels off as Kary and I walk into the house but I can't put my finger on it. We meet Kelly pacing to and fro in the hallway with her hands folded and one finger in between her teeth. I can tell she's really anxious by the way she's biting down hard on that finger and I wonder what has her so agitated."Kelly, what's wrong?" I ask her."It's Mr Cruz." Her voice comes out shaky."What about my daddy?" Kary's eyes widens. "Is he alright?"Kelly glances at Kary worriedly and the expression on her face makes my heart race in my chest. I'd left the house to go and pick up Kary from school with Micah and Gabriel had gone on to his bedroom to change into casual clothes after his swim.He'd been smiling at something silly that I'd said and he'd even called to tell me that I could get ice cream for Kary if she requested for one."Um... Kary, why don't you go upstairs and wait for me?" I ask her. "I'll be with you shortly.""But, Papa..." She frowns."Your father is fine." I assu

Gabriel It has been two weeks since I talked to Gabi and I've missed her. She's after all, my twin and we have a bond that can't be severed by anything. I've been trying to reach out to her or Simon but to no avail. It's as if both of them decided to boycott me or something and I can understand that they're still mad at me for what I did but it's not fair to me that all fingers are pointing at me as the bad guy here.Men sleep with women who aren't their wives or girlfriends all the time and no one calls them out on it. I don't even see my family members calling Lucille out on her infidelity but I do it and they're hell bent on making me end what I have with Arian.I did not tell anyone about the migraines I've been having lately and the over the counter drugs I've been taking don't help at all. I don't want to add to Arian's problems by falling ill so I told Kim to book an appointment for me with my doctor and here I am, two days later, with the hope that whatever drugs he'd prescri

Gabriel "Are you happy now?" I ask Gabi. "You wanted to show me that she doesn't care about me and you did. Are you satisfied?""I didn't do it for me. I did it for you." She states. "Are you so blinded by her that you can't see she'll never love you?""I know that." I hiss through gritted teeth.Her mouth drops open in shock. "And you still want to go ahead with this ridiculous thing you have going on with her?""You told her that it's none of your business so stay out of it." I snap. "Why are you even here? Aren't there projects for you to tackle at work or am I your project? Make Gabriel see how much of a fool he is?""There's no need for you to be so cruel." She says. "I'm here because I care about you.""You have a funny way of showing it." I let out a derisive snort. I grab hold of the IV pole and use it to heave myself up to my feet then I slowly make my way back to the bed and sit down on it."I'm sorry if you think my actions are hurting you." She says. "I just want the best

ArianPeople say they see their lives flashing before their eyes in the case of accidents and while I'm not involved in an accident of any kind... I can see my life flashing before my eyes right now. I'd always known I was bound to be alone forever but I never envisioned that I'd be capable of making a space in my heart for another person.I opened my heart to Kareena the same day she told me she loved me and it was that same day I vowed to stay with her for as long as she wanted me to. I just didn't imagine that I'd find her father so damn irresistible and end up sleeping with him, to the point where we'd get so caught up in each other and not have any regard for his daughter's feelings whatsoever.We shouldn't have done what we did, but it's too late to take it back. I mentally prepare myself for what is about to happen next - Kary's disgust towards my relationship with her father and the inevitable hatred she'd have for me afterwards."Well?" She prompts, staring at us with wide, c
