It wasn't the sun rays that woke Gabriella up the next day but the noise she heard in the room which startled her a bit as she sat upright trying to see if her tormentors had returned but to her surprise, it was the man who she saw the day before, who helped her from being raped."Pardon me, I didn't mean to wake you up. I wanted to drop your breakfast here so you can eat it peacefully. I'm certain you didn't want to run into the brothers, am I right?" Andrew said setting the tray on the table as Gabriella sat upright properly and made sure her dress was presentable before replying,"Yes.....where are the brothers at the moment?" She asked timidly wondering if they were right outside the door as she kept glancing at the open door she locked.It seemed that Andrew had a key to all the rooms in this mansion. And it unnerved her."Koel is on his morning run, Luther is out for business while Cyrus is still in his room. Although they had expressed their wish to see you today at a more conv
Andrew made his way to the room carrying the newspaper and a tray containing Luther's favorite drink. Luther was seated in his usual position by the window watching the view as Andrew arranged the drink on the table and served him a cup."I will be needing your expertise on something. I'm hoping that you will keep this away from my older brothers?" He said as Andrew glanced at him briefly before he turned his attention to the drink he was pouring."I'm to serve the three of you, sir. I will do my best to not give a straightforward answer to them if confronted. What do you need my help with?" He said. This was as close as he could get to Andrew's promise to keep things silent for now."I need you to dig up things about Gabriella. Things that mattered to her, her likes, dislikes, any competition?!. I need to know what she did from the day she was born till yesterday if that's possible." He said as Andrew paused."I don't think that's what I meant by trying to break the curse, knowing tho
"Where the hell were you?" Luther spoke as Koel and Gabriella walked into the house laughing at something funny that Koel had said but then she immediately froze realizing her situation. Cyrus was around as well, sipping something and watching the both of them as if he were trying to decipher something."Calm down Luther. No need to get your skivvies up in a bunch. We just went out for breakfast." Koel spoke standing in front of her to shield her from the looks as Luther raised an eyebrow at him wondering what had changed between them since Koel was acting as her bodyguard or the fact that Gabriella seemed more at ease with him but on guard with them.A part of him was jealous that his wife would prefer to be herself around someone else that wasn't him but he buried that part of him quickly before it could take root. She’s no different than any of his women anyway.He wasn't going to let his emotions rule him."For TEN hours? It's 6 in the evening. the guards informed me that you both
“I see this is your weak attempt to make us eat breakfast with the RENA, is that right?" Cyrus said, earning Andrew’s full attention.Andrew hesitated before he turned around, he should have known that Cyrus would not be easy to fool. All he had to do now was hope that Cyrus would agree to it."I believe that's a good start for any improvement to occur between the three of you and the said RENA. I'm hoping that you would give this a thought before dismissing it." He said as Cyrus shook his head,"I am not playing such games with you. I will not waste my time on such frivolous activities. I have a busy day ahead of me" He said shutting him down as Andrew gave a nod knowing that was the end of the story.Meanwhile, Koel who was heading to the kitchen for some light breakfast overheard the both of them talking as he redirected his steps and went into the room."What's going on here?" He asked as Cyrus replied,"Nothing to worry yourself about. I am simply not engaging in any childish act
“I'll meet you by ten. Don't be late. Love you." Kyle glanced at his phone rereading the last text message that he had gotten from his girlfriend late at night. They had spent the entire day together but she hasn't brought this up until now. He figured this was indeed a spur of the moment.She had asked him for a meetup and she wanted to do so in a park. He was quite concerned about it but didn't say anything and agreed to it. And now he was waiting and it was currently 10:45 am and Olive was nowhere to be found. Had she forgotten about their meetup or had something come up? If that was the case, then she should have sent him a message instead of being radio silent. Kyle was waiting at the park for his girlfriend Olive. He was very grateful to have someone as passionate and kind as she. He always thought about what would have been his fate if she hadn't informed him about her step-sister's curse.Anger coursed through his body every time he remembered that Gabriella had almost succe
Koel was resting in the serenity of his balcony with a bottle of wine by the side and his iPad on his thighs, sorting his analysis and predictions to pass time when he was disrupted by the sound of a car crashing loudly through the driveway. He raised his head from the phone and let out a frustrated sigh.Gabriella was walking briskly from Luther who came out of the car."Gabriella come back here this instant." He ordered as she yelled."Piss off already." Koel was taken aback as he glanced at his wristwatch. It was six pm. What could have happened in this few hours for them to hate each other like this.He walked towards Gabriella and held her as she turned to look at him."What happened?!!" He asked as she wanted to speak but Luther arrives so she shut her mouth as Koel glared at his brother."Why don't I take care of her and you go somewhere else. I'm sure that she doesn't want to see you now." He said as Luther spoke,"Don't try to interfere in my wife's and I issue.""Maybe you h
Seated across from each other in the fine restaurant, Koel spoke;“I was just simply reminiscing on how lucky I am to be with you this fine afternoon." He said reaching for her hand as he pecked her and she blushed."Oh Koel, you are such a a flirt. I'm happy spending time with you as well." She said as the waitress made her appearance."Good morning, my name is Julie and I'll be your waitress for today. May I have your orders?" She said as Koel looked up and saw that it was one of the waitresses that was gossiping earlier.He flashed her and quickly gave her his order as well as Olive and Julie jotted it down before heading off to carry out their meals."So...we should first discuss business before pleasure. You Said you had news for me concerning Gabriella." He said as Olive nodded her head slowly."Yes, I did indeed say that didn't I? Well, I was just being considerate but I am worried about your brother Luther and also that ridiculous rumor that has spread around about Gabriella b
Luther was in his office when the door opened and his P.A., Rose entered inside carrying the scripts that he had asked for earlier."Everything you asked for is here. Is there anything else that you would like me to do for you, sir?" She said as Luther shook his head."No everything is okay for now. Thank you." He said as Rose beamed at him."Alright, sir. Also, Mr Nicole wants to see you. He is outside. Should I send him right in?" She asked as Luther looked up from what he was doing. There was no way his Best friend was already back from the States."Yes, absolutely. Cancel all calls and appointments that might come in until he is gone." He said as Rose nodded her head with his orders and left the room.He had barely managed to tidy up the dirty table and make it look more presentable when the door opened and Nicole walked in with a grin on his face.Nicole Walkers, the fourth most sought man in the city, rich as hell, and best friends with Luther Reigns, the third most sought man.
