All Chapters of The Throne: Dominican Agustin Knight: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

One week later…Agustin still hasn’t returned, and they are getting anxious because Agustin might do something bad again. They brought Gabriel back to Agustin’s penthouse to rest properly. Although Gabriel wants to go back to work, Agustin’s cousins won’t allow him. “Do you want him to kill us?”Gabriel had no choice but to rest in the penthouse because he could sense that Adrian didn’t want to cause trouble with Agustin. He was also worried about Agustin not returning yet. “He’ll be back,” Carrie reassured him, even though she knew there was no certainty that Agustin would return.“Emmett, do you know where Agustin is, right?” he asked. Emmett paused from peeling apples and glanced at Gabriel. He was about to answer when the door suddenly opened, and Carrie, Janno, Adrian, and Tara arrived with lots of food and shopping bags.Emmett breathed a sigh of relief because he would rather not reveal Agustin’s whereabouts. He promised not to tell anyone, especially Gabriel.“Hi!” Adrian gree

His eyes widened, and he covered his mouth in shock as he saw the image of his long-lost mother. Lorenzo placed a picture of Gabriel’s mother on the table, and Gabriel trembled as he reached for the photo.“Your mother’s name is Gabriela Torres, 45 years old, married with a child. I spoke to your siblings and her spouse, but they informed me that your mother passed away in an accident. It was a hit-and-run case five years ago, and the police were unable to identify the culprit,” Lorenzo explained.Gabriel was speechless as he gazed at the photo of his mother, but a smile crept onto his face upon realizing that he shared his mother’s name.“The case is highly confidential, but as a Perkins, I was granted access to investigate. I hacked into the CCTV footage to determine the type of vehicle that hit her five years ago,” Lorenzo continued, showing Gabriel the footage on his laptop. “This is your mother,” he pointed to the woman crossing the street with bags in hand.“Mama…” Gabriel whisp

GABRIEL's POVAre u coming?Message delivered!Seen.Seen?! Seriously, Agustin? You never reply to me when it’s about that topic. I don’t know what to do anymore. Agustin is too stubborn. This was supposed to be the way for him to come back, but he ignored us again. Since he didn’t reply anymore, I stood up and put my phone in my pocket. I looked at myself in the mirror before leaving the room to go to Mrs. Scarlett.“Mrs. Scarlett?” I knocked on the door, but no one answered. “Can I come in?” Still no response, so I sighed and opened the door.“He’s not coming?”I stopped in my tracks when I noticed that she was already sitting in her wheelchair, looking at the full moon. It was the first time I really looked at her face, and I couldn’t deny that she still exuded beauty even though she was older. She looks stunning in her dress. She has an angelic face, and I sense her kindness too, just like Carrie. I haven’t seen Agustin and Carrie’s father yet in the photos, but I can see that Ag

GABRIEL’S POV “Please, welcome Ms. Tara Knight Stone and her fiancé, Mr. Fabien Laurent!” We all stood and clapped. She looks stunning—no doubt she’s a true Knight. I could see the joy in her eyes, marrying the man she loves. I smiled with happiness seeing her finally get her own family. They’re lucky to have each other; her fiancé seems kind, handsome, from a wealthy family, so the Knights would surely accept them. Or so I thought… “Tsk. How did he seduce our Tara?” Hugo grumbled irritably. The girls among the cousins laughed. “God, you’re being so bitter! She’s still our Tara!” Alexandra said. “His smile was freaking fake, bro! I want to wipe that smile off his fucking face!” Eros snapped. Their male cousins nodded. I just grimaced—clearly they hated her fiancé. “I think he seduced Tara for her assets,” Rain said, yawning. The women turned and shouted at him. “Oh, god, not you, Rain!” He just shrugged and leaned back in his chair, clearly bored. Are they always like this? “

Before the explosion... “I have to go back. Adrian might be looking for me,” Gabriel said, adjusting his suit. Agustin pulled him back, making him sit on his lap. “Stop!” He slapped Agustin’s hand, which was slipping back inside his suit. “Another round, hmm?” Agustin kept kissing his neck. Gabriel’s eyes widened; he pushed Agustin’s hand away. “That’s enough for now! You’ll pick me up tomorrow, right?” Agustin nodded and hugged him. “I hate work. I hope we could stay like this until you can’t walk.” Gabriel laughed, shaking his head. It was his wish too, but he knew Agustin had a lot to handle and didn’t want to be a hindrance. “You have to work. You’ll be the chairman, right?” He smiled. Agustin paused, resting his head on Gabriel’s shoulder. “Agustin, you have responsibilities, and I know that. I’m not the kind of boyfriend who locks you up here. I just want to support whatever you do—just please be careful.” Gabriel caressed Agustin’s face. “You look tired. Maybe you s
