Gideon By Nicole Riddley Pdf Novels & Stories

After freshening up, I spent the rest of the day polishing my résumé before I drifted off. Some minutes in, I felt a soothing feel travel from my head to my feet as something rested on me. It had weight but felt lighter at the same time, and I nuzzled my head into whatever was giving such comfort till it traced my back down to my thigh. Fingers brushed the exact spot my scars were at, and I jumped in my skin, sitting up to find Gideon next to me. “Ah—” I almost screamed, but his hand quickly went over my mouth, muting the sound.

And so, I smiled—light, free, at peace. Hand in hand, we walked down the long, glowing path of my dream. I would be my own courage, my own armor. From now on, the sun shone brightly, and the road ahead was clear. … Epilogue 1: The Sterling family had fallen hard. Every crime they had committed over the years was exposed and thoroughly investigated, leaving them devastated. Their businesses were dismantled, accounts frozen, assets seized. Their stock plummeted like a free-fall, crashing straight to the bottom.

“St. James is obsessed with legacy. Appeal to his ego, tell him you want to see proof of your mother, tell him you want to know who you really are.” Nico moved closer to me, covering my hand over the USB drive. “It’s dangerous,” Nico warned. “If he realizes what she’s doing...” “Then she dies,” Gigi said bluntly. “But you don’t have another option. The clock is ticking, King. Do you want to rule, or do you want to run?” Nico glanced at Gigi and then at me. “We don’t run,” Nico said. He looked directly at me. “Can you do this, Elena? Can you walk into his house and lie to his face?”

Enough to dismantle the structure Gideon built across thirty years and restore something that might, with time, become honest ground. I stand and go to the window. Red Creek at sunset, the light going gold across everything I was raised to protect and have been failing to protect in the ways that actually matter. Somewhere in this manor, Lana is preparing for a storm she can feel approaching. Somewhere, Jessica watches and constructs. Somewhere, Gideon sits in the deepest cell this place has and smiles, because he made contingencies, because a man who has been playing the long game for thirty years does not lose simply because a single day went against him.

“I didn’t know.” Gideon’s expression hardened. “Because it ended before your time.” Grace looked at him. “It ended because you decided humans were liabilities.” Gideon’s eyes flashed. “Humans die.” “So do wolves,” she snapped. For a moment, I saw the young woman she must have been. Fierce. Stubborn. Standing in some old kitchen with blood on her apron and a wolf at her door, refusing to be dismissed. Gideon looked away first. It did not feel like defeat. He reached into his coat and withdrew a folded piece of paper, yellowed at the edges and sealed in a clear evidence sleeve. He placed it on the table beside the burned map.

“Hmm… then? It seems your story is very interesting.” At the same time Nicko rolled his eyes and snatched his whiskey back from Jaxon's hand. Gideon sighed and decided to sit next to Danny and take the peeled nuts from the crystal bowl in front of him. Again, Danny glared at one of his best friends. He swiftly saved the nuts from the lazy people around. After swallowing the nut he was chewing, Gideon continued. “I told her not to come here, but that stubborn woman threatened not to open the bedroom door if I left her at Gardenia Castle.”

Mia said referring to Henry," we need inside information about him, and I'm the only one who could go back, and he won't suspect a thing. So you think it's easy to get into Gideon's house? It's so much like yours, it's a fortress and Gideon would kill anyone he thinks is suspicious without thinking twice” “ And he would kill you if he starts to suspect you”. Adrian spat. His eyes glowing gold. “ He won't kill me”. Gideon has not touched her or make her do sexual thing's to him since he found out that his son had been raping her, but she knew that Gideon would never kill her. He would have done so a long time ago if he wanted to. He always came to rescue her when she gets into any kind of shi

She said, her tone depicting an obvious hidden motive. Olivia turned to what she was doing and continued where she stopped, Zina knew that was the end of the discussion, she lay back and continued what she was reading. … "Oh my goodness!" Gideon said as he immediately dropped his books and sat down on the grass, he took Merry's hand and started to blow air to it and massage around it. The sudden contact made Merry more startled, her mind tires to fetch one or two reasons why one of the college rich kids was here with her.

Eloise advised me, giving me a gentle kiss on the forehead and tucking me in bed. She bid me farewell, her words echoing in my mind as I lay alone in my room. Her words resonated in my mind like an echo of my own not-so-distant thoughts. Gideon Mitchell wasn't so different from me. He also lost his mother young, just like me. And like me, he was rejected by those who doubted his leadership ability.

"That bitch needed to die to keep her mouth shut for good. I set the archive fire, and I arranged the helicopter malfunction too." Gavin and I exchanged a look. We had everything we needed. "You raised me to be a fake heiress, and now you're trying to get rid of me too?" Tears welled in her eyes as her voice trembled. Gideon sneered and suddenly grabbed her by the throat. "You were just a pawn. Now, you're useless." At that critical moment, Gavin and security rushed into the room and slammed Gideon to the floor, saying in an ice-cold tone, "Gideon, every one of your crimes has been recorded."
