Novel & Cerita Gabrielle And Westley Novel

"Didn't you say it's fine to tell them as long as they are close to us? "Yes. But what I mean is to tell Stella..." Gabrielle put down her fork and glared at Layla. "So you mean only Stella is close to you and it doesn't matter if you do not tell us?" Layla paled. "No...I don't mean that..." "Then are you telling us or not?" Gabrielle asked, feigning anger. "...." It was obvious that Gabrielle was cornering Layla to tell us the truth and get some details of their love story, but Layla fell to Gabrielle's tricks.

I sniff and smile in relief that we were done with our misunderstanding. Deep down, I was sad that his grandmother wouldn't accept our marriage even when the relationship was fake. It made me angry that I unknowingly tightened the bandage I wrapped around his knuckles and he took my hands away before assigning two guards to drag me roughly out of the living room. His eyes were so cold that I could not think of begging for mercy. Tiny pieces of realization struck me the moment I was pushed inside the same room as my ex-boyfriend. I felt my heart bound against my chest as I looked at Jeffery.

Good girl. I lead her back to the study and watch her go inside. Once the door is shut, I don't leave. Why would I? This is the best part of the show. I press my ear against the heavy oak door, my heart fluttering with a delicious sort of adrenaline. Through the wood, I hear Gabrielle’s voice—high-pitched, shaky, and perfect. She’s weaving a tale of a greedy Sydney, a woman obsessed with the Newton fortune, a woman who felt Grandmother was an obstacle to her happily ever after with Owen. I smile to myself, feeling incredibly pleased.

And why had he kept it from her? She returned to the trunk, digging through the rest of the contents. A few letters. A map of Wren Hollow. A receipt from a bank she didn’t recognize. Nothing else. No answers. Just a name. She folded the note and tucked it into her boot. That evening, Gabrielle stood in the library, staring at the rows of books she didn’t recognize. Eugenia had gone out for the night, leaving the house quiet but not peaceful. Gabrielle pulled a volume from the shelf—The History of Western Trade Syndicates—and flipped through it. The Virelli name appeared twice. Once in a footnote. Once in a chapter about “unregulated influence.”

I start but get cut off by Gabriels lips as he kisses me firmly and deeply. “I never said I didn’t want to date you, Rhett. It’s just that…I have never…not since my first couple boyfriends in highschool and college. Your father knew Cane, but didn’t know we dated. He just knew that Cane hung around a lot and then beat me up one time and I had to get a restraining order…he never knew the whole story or what else he did to me. I have always been socially awkward, more so if I find someone attractive, but I was broken until I met a dom who helped me heal and taught me the ropes, literally. I have master’s training in shibari thanks to Ngyen, “ Gabriel tells me. Gabriel sighs, “ anyway, I though

If that were the case, she'd make sure to get rid of Aria as soon as possible, so they couldn't get back together. Caleb saw the cruel look on Gabriella's face. "Did you hear what I said?" "Fine, Caleb, I get it," Gabriella said, waving him off impatiently and storming out of the office. Watching her go, Caleb rubbed his throbbing temples. He prayed she had truly understood his words. *** The development of the West Hills Resort was progressing quickly, and the advertising was in full swing. Aria was going over some documents when a coworker told her Emma wanted to see her in her office.

“You like being around them.” Gabby paused, then nodded. “Yeah. It’s… different. But it feels kind of exciting. Like we’re preparing for something bigger, you know?” Mateo smiled faintly. “That’s because they are. And if you’re going to spend time around royals, Gabriella, you’d better be ready to move when they do. You sure you want to go back tomorrow?” Gabby didn’t hesitate. “Definitely.” ⸻ Friday Morning – Blackstone Pack

But it didn’t. Nothing had prepared me for that kiss. Not the softness. Not the way she melted under my touch, like she didn’t even realize she was doing it. And not the fear in her eyes when she pulled away. She was scared of herself. Scared of me. Scared of the way this—we—might change everything. And she was right. It already had. I pushed off the wall, pacing once across the hall, then again. Gabriella wasn’t like anyone I’d ever met. She didn’t bend to charm or power. She didn’t care about the money, the name, or the house. She didn’t flinch when I was cold or distant—but the second I got close?

I snapped, my hand moving to my lips as I tried to wipe the dirt of his stupid lips on mine "I was just trying to have a taste of my property, Sunshine." "I'm not your fucking property, and what the hell did you mean that Gabriel stepped into a trap? How the fuck did you know about Ghost, the flash drive, and everything else you just mentioned? What the hell is going on here?" I yelled at the top of my lungs and watched as Caleb stiffened. A look I couldn't decipher passed through his eyes but was suddenly masked up with devilish looks

Gabriella landed on the building’s opposite edge and pulled the small spoon out of her mouth. “I’d also like to know where exactly you got the ability to use fire from. I thought you were a werewolf,” Gabriella said. Evelyn launched at her again, throwing large fireballs. Gabriella walked stylishly, avoiding each fireball as it came at her. The fireballs she avoided clashed with a building behind her and caused them to explode. Gabriella stared at the explosion with a baffled expression on her face. “Wow, that looks really dangerous,” she said.
