A Night with Gideon Chapter 44 (Part 2)
"I… I just want to see Gideon." Mariz’s voice was weak and polite. The woman looked up, her eyes welling up, before she wiped the corner of her eye with a finger. Lyzza sighed because she didn't know if she could call herself inconsiderate, as her actions seemed more like theatrics to her. "I just want to thank him for what he did last night." She nodded and finally opened the door wide. "Come in." The woman was momentarily surprised, but seconds later, her expression turned pitiful again. Lyzza led the way to the long couch in the living room. "You can have a seat. I'll just call him." "Sure. I just want to thank him for what he did last night. I'm glad he still thinks of our past relationship, that's why he did it." If someone else had heard Mariz, they would have interpreted her words differently. Mariz was bringing up her past relationship with Gideon. If Gideon hadn't mentioned his ex-wife’s situation right away, her thoughts might be different.She left the woman who was

LYZZA thought that Gideon would follow her into their room after she walked out. However, to her dismay, she did not even hear his footsteps coming into the room.Her blood boiled when she heard Mariz loudly crying as she walked out. Mariz kept calling Gideon’s name and telling lies about everything that happened in the living room.She waited in the room for almost thirty minutes, hoping that Gideon would follow her and confront her or at least soothe her for what happened. However, to her disappointment, she only received a text from him saying that he would order his bodyguards to send her to Vesarius Mansion and that he would follow later. And to make matters worse, he accompanied Mariz to the hospital.Lyzza cursed Mariz and Gideon loudly, even though they could not hear or see her. Her chest felt like it was being hammered, knowing they were together and that Gideon chose that woman over her.She bit her lower lip harder before returning to the living room, where she left her ba

GIDEON’S promise to meet them at the mansion wasn't fulfilled. Lyzza already expected it, but Summer was silent when she discovered they were the only two going to her mom’s house."Mommy, is it bad to break a promise?" Summer asked with her innocent voice while they were on the road.She stroked her hair and adjusted the way Summer sat on her lap. "It depends. Why do you ask?""I don't understand.""Well, baby, there are promises that aren't fulfilled unintentionally. For example, let's say your Uncle Caius promised to buy you stickers but couldn't keep them because he had to buy something for a school project. Or, for instance, I promised you we'd go to the mall, but I had an emergency.""That's understandable," Summer replied, but she still seemed sad."Yes. Of course, we still have to be careful when we make promises. If you can do it, then you should. The word "promise" is used to assure you'll do what you said. "Summer did not say anything, so she asked again, "Why, baby? Is th

"SHE insulted my daughter. I don't care if she accuses me of fooling you and says that Summer is not your child. I wouldn't force my child on you in the first place. You were the one who insisted on taking Summer and entering our lives. But for her to drag my child into her madness, I won’t just sit down.""She's lying, then? She told me that you started the fight, and that you mentioned my deceased child. His voice was cold at that moment.Lyzza sarcastically laughed and shook her head in disappointment."When did the enemy become the protagonist in the witch's story? You know what? If I have realized anything about your ex-wife, it is that you're right. She's not kind. She used a clueless child to get what she wanted. She even told me that Summer would never replace your deceased child in your heart. Why? Does my daughter want to compete? I don't know how she's using an innocent child who is no longer here in the world. What kind of mother is she?""You're mad.""Yes."Gideon's eyes
A Night with Gideon Chapter 47
A WEEK had passed since Mariz stayed with them under the same roof. Gideon told her that his ex-wife had no choice because she had nowhere to go. Furthermore, Mariz was also in danger because her former live-in partner, Ricky, had escaped prison and was now pursuing her. Mariz was pregnant, and the baby could be in danger if Ricky found and hurt her again.Lyzza didn't know if she should laugh at their situation because the woman who first married Gideon was now staying with them along with their child, Summer. The woman was very assertive and made it clear to her and Summer that they were just guests in the house, which was supposedly her house. It was Gideon and Mariz's house when they were still married, but Lyzza didn't want to know to whom it belonged now, in case it made her feel worse about her husband.When she suggested to Gideon that they could move to the penthouse, he disagreed. He told her he needed to stay in that house because of Mariz and that he wanted to be with Summ

"MOMMY, why do we have to leave Daddy?" Summer asked, watching as Lyzza packed their clothes into a suitcase. Despite her disappointment with her father, Summer still wanted to be with him."We have to leave because we'll get hurt if we stay," she replied."Who will hurt us, Mommy? I don't think Daddy can hurt us. He doesn't hit me," Summer said, her face reflecting her confusion.She sighed and put the final piece of clothing in Summer's pink suitcase before kneeling in front of her daughter, who was sitting on the bed."That's not what I mean. You know that your dad loves you so much, right? You're his princess. We both know he wouldn't physically hurt you," she explained."Yes, Mommy. Daddy loves me," Summer nodded."But we have to leave because we also love ourselves. We have to protect ourselves," Lyzza continued."I don't understand, Mommy. Why do we have to leave Daddy just because we love ourselves? Can't we love ourselves and Daddy at the same time?" Summer asked."You can, b
A Night with Gideon Chapter 48 (Part 2)
HER eyes widened in shock at what she heard. Why would Mariz want to kill her former live-in partner? "What's wrong, and who are these stupid people who took him? The police won't side with him because he has a previous case. Have you contacted the one who has his family?" She was momentarily quiet while listening to the person she was speaking to. "Bitch! Even his family was kidnapped? Who are these people interfering with us? Gideon should not be able to find a loophole in this. I'm close to getting him back!" She quickly and silently climbed up the stairs just as Mariz was about to look in her direction. Only then did Lyzza realize she had been holding her breath since she arrived in the room. From what she heard, she felt as if she had witnessed a crime. Mariz seemed to be crazy. The woman seemed to have a huge grudge against her former live-in partner and wanted to kill him. They were in danger with that woman! It was good that she and Summer were leaving that house already.

"STOP it, Lyz. It's not your fault," Carollete consoled her. Her sister-in-law continued to stroke her hair as she tried to calm her down.She put her glass on the center table after drinking."What if something bad happens to the baby? I shouldn't have argued with her.""You didn't push her. Summer and I, along with the two helpers, saw that she stepped back and fell. Besides, she hurt Summer. It's natural that you would defend your daughter from someone like her."They were now at the Vesarius Mansion. Summer was sleeping on the big couch, cuddled by her."I'm scared for the baby, Rolle. I shouldn't have fought her and should have just reminded myself that she is pregnant.""It was an accident, so don't blame yourself. If that woman accuses you, I'll stand as your witness. I'm sure Celia and Nelia are on your side too. Besides, I know that Gideon will believe you.""No. He's mad at me." She frowned.Lyzza didn't expect the pain her words brought. It was like the pain she had felt fr
