Gabriel’s P.O.V.“You sent her a legal notice? The woman who made you stand up again and live a normal life, you sent her a legal notice? Since when did you become this ungrateful, Gabriel?” Mom yelled at me while throwing the glass of wine that she had in her hands when I entered the room.“She used me, Mom,” I yelled, feeling glad that I dodged on time.“How did she use you?” she yelled back, shooting up at her feet.“Tell me, Gabriel. How did she use you? Did she get any monetary benefit from you by treating you? Shares? Properties? Jewelleries? What did you give her as compensation?” she asked angrily, taking a step forward in my direction.I opened my mouth but couldn’t say a word.“She told you that she found me in bad shape one day, and then things went on and on, and she agreed to treat you, but I forced her to marry you, right?” she continued yelling at me, her eyes were now throwing daggers at me.I just listened to her, stunned by what she asked.“But the truth is that I ap

Lauren’s P.O.V.“And you are telling us now?” Caellum asked me angrily, shooting daggers at me through his eyes.“Because I didn’t pay attention to those messages at that time,” I answered him truthfully. My tone was still flat because I was guilty.After learning about the threat looming over my life, I promised them that I would tell him everything, but I still hid this.“What do you want from me, Lauren? We are only family for each other, an…. And I can’t stay by your side all the time.”“I know, brother, and I am really sorry. It was unintentional. You won’t believe that I had deleted all of them without reading them, but something happened, and I retrieved all of them.” I explained, but I was still troubled and guilty.“So, that green-eyed man followed you in the seminar, and he also had hacked our system, breaking Vincent’s codes?” he asked, sounding tired, but worried.“Yes, bro. This also proves that either he is also from an influential family or he is working for them. No ma

Vincent’s P.O.V.“Why are you so mean to me?” Lauren whined, throwing a cushion on me.“And why are you so secretive and reckless?” I threw the question back to her, my anger flaring up again.“I am not reckless. That was an unknown number.” She argued back, throwing the second cushion on me, but I pressed it on her.“You received seven messages, Lauren, and all from the same number.” I reminded her angrily.She pouted, and tears filled her eyes.I wanted to lash out at her, but it was hard to stand against her tears.“He clearly warned you not to wander around alone. His third message clearly stated that your enemies were there, but not to hurt you. Do you get the meaning?” I asked her through my teeth, suppressing the urge to embrace her to comfort her.“No, I didn’t,” she replied stubbornly; tears were now hanging on her lashes.This was the real problem between us.She can go head-to-head with Caellum, but when it comes to us.She became emotionally so fragile that I couldn’t even

Gabriel’s P.O.V.“I am sorry for every mistake that I made, Lauren, but I am not sorry for the lawsuit. You owed me that explanation.” He added, and I felt a squeeze in my chest.How stupid can I be to believe for a second that Gabriel is truly sorry for suing me?I dare to believe that he was just confused and has now come back to his senses.He proved me wrong.Once again.“I owed you nothing, Mr. Westfield. In fact, this lawsuit of yours actually gave me the idea of filing a request to the court to use your treatment plan in my research. I think…” I paused, excitement filling my voice.Of course, it was fake, but I needed to show him that I wasn’t affected by whatever scheme he had cooked up in his mind.“This will be a great contribution to the medical field, Mr. Westfield. Don’t you think?” I continued excitedly, already reaching the ground floor.I exited the elevator and walked leisurely towards the reception.“Are you mocking me, Lauren?” he asked me angrily.“Ms. Shaw.” I cor

Lauren’s P.O.V.“Are you really suing her?” Vincent asked me curiously, earning a glare from me instantly.“Of course, I am.” I chewed on my steak like I was chewing Celia.“She is really courageous to mess with you.” He still teased me, and I raised my fist to hit him.He laughed and poured some wine into my glass.We were now having dinner in our apartment.I didn’t get a single minute to relax after that confrontation with Celia because of work, and I also took care of Vincent’s business.“Don’t ruin the taste of your steak. Have some more.” He coaxed me while putting another plate with finely cut pieces of steak on the table.I took the plate from him without hesitation but didn’t stop glaring at him.He still had that teasing smile dancing on his lips.I hated him for this look, but it also made him look more handsome and devouring.I jerked my head and decided to concentrate on filling my belly instead of devouring him through my eyes.“What do you want to do after dinner?” he a
