Chapter 10 Gabe's Partner"Do you know about this?" Gabe asked while starting to call Estevan about it. That jerk turned off his phone and now he cannot contact him. "I remember suggesting it to our parents," Gavin uttered and gave him a puppy smile. So, he was the one to actually blame behind it. "Why would you do that?" Gabe asked, upset. David, Leo and Annalise were in the kitchen while listening to Gavin and Gabe talking about the invitation Gabe received."What? I was just thinking that by this way Estevan will stop being a womanizer," Gavin defended and breathed out. "And what if he still relentlessly plays with women? That would only ruin the marriage and it would only put dirt on our name." Gabe discussed and shook his head. He was vivid when he told Gavin that he's abandoning Estevan. Here he is, frustrated already. "Well, it was only my suggestion. His parents decided and Estevan didn't even make a fuss about it," Gavin explained and shrugged."He's fine with it? What?

Chapter 12Protect GabeAfter few days of preparation and waiting, it's finally Estevan's wedding. They have been practicing the dance that they will perform for the wedding. Estevan called it as the Clyborne's performance that many of the guest were waiting for. Gavin kept treating Annalise rudely as he was still suspecting Annalise. Gabe then was there to defend her from Gavin. Estevan enjoys seeing his cousins dance when they never dance once in their life. "Are you sure you're not his girlfriend?" The makeup artist asked. This is the reason why Annalise hates some of the makeup artist. They keep sticking their nose to other people's businesses."No," she answered shortly. She was just fixing her hair more while standing in front of the mirror. Gabe sent her for her to prepare for the wedding. She suggested to let her hair down instead of tying it. It was perfect for her elegant and sophisticated gown. Who would even believe that she is Gabe's bodyguard at this look? She looks li

Chapter 14Change of plan "Cancel all my schedule, I'm taking a leave." Gabe said clearly to Leo."It's your client from London, Gabe. Are you sure you're not meeting him today? We don't know when Annalise will wake up," Leo discussed because it seems like Gabe has no plan to leave the hospital not until Annalise is awake."I'm sure. Tell him that I have an emergency so I can't meet him right now. Reschedule it," he ordered and breathed out. Leo simply sighed. "Sure, I'll clear your schedule." "Do not accept anything while I'm away," Gabe added."Yes, I'll make sure of th—""Annalise!" Estevan yelled when he just entered the room and caught Annalise slowly opening her eyes. His eyes widened and Gabe and Leo were alarmed that they both looked at Annalise behind them. Estevan ran towards her as they watched her wake up."Annalise?" Gabe called and held her hand. She couldn't feel her body yet. Her brows were meeting. All she could feel was pain, it's a double pain right now. The whi

Chapter 16ConfessedShe was stunned. David just professed what he feels towards her. She was lost for words. What should be the right word to answer a man after confessing? He was looking at her and she was also looking at him. It was strange, very strange. Why does she not feel her heart pounding? There were no butterflies playing in her stomach. Surprise, that would only be it. "David," she called. That moment, he just realized what he said. He chuckled awkwardly and broke the silence between them. "I couldn't help it," he uttered. He was absent-mindedly looking at her again. Annalise can tell his sincerity. He was indeed sincere with what he said from those eyes of his. How she wished it was just a joke. But it's not. It would be a dumb of her to ask if he was serious when she knows he is. "We're friends," Annalise said. Those words were like a knife that suddenly stabbed his chest. Annalise knew he was hurt with that. But she also knew that she could only give him one thing—

Chapter 18An eyesore hug"Do you like someone, Annalise?" Gavin suddenly asked. All their eyes went at them as Gabe also came back to his office. Why is he suddenly asking her that? Hearing him asked him that scares the hell out of her. It was the second time she was asked that question."Stop it, Gavin." Gabe warned. But Gavin doesn't seem to care."I never like someone," Annalise said candidly. Gabe remained silent as he went back sitting on his swivel chair."So what do you like about a man?" Gavin asked and simply glanced at Gabe who was also looking at Annalise, waiting for her to answer his question. He knew that Gavin was trying to help him a bit even though he was the one who warned him about his dangerous feelings."I don't really know," she answered and chuckled. Gavin is acting weird. It gives her goosebumps."You should have a standard," Leo said and sat beside her. Why does she feel like they were all interrogating her about what she likes to a man?"Well," she uttered
