Never Say Goodbye Chapter Fifteen
Gabriel I frown in my sleep wondering why I'm bouncing. A little voice calls out to me then small hands simultaneously shake me awake and I groan. "Good morning daddy." Kary's cheerful voice sings. I want to turn on my back but can't and I soon realize that she's sitting on my lower back. That's probably why I was bouncing in my sleep. "Morning baby. Did you sleep well?" My voice is groggy from sleep and I have to force myself to keep my eyes open even though I'm still very sleepy. "Yes daddy." She says. "I had fun playing with my new nanny." "So, you like her?" I sound hopeful. "Yes. She's really cool." She replies. "I know we'll be good friends." "That's good to hear." I say. I'm happy that Kary likes Arian and all that talk with Gabi last night about Arian's relationship with her ex husband - though insightful - is something I've decided I will overlook. I reach behind me to tap Kary's leg and she climbs off me so I am able to turn on my back to look at her. She's dres
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Sixteen
ArianI thought Ma'am Gabriella's house was grand... but I had yet to see Mr Cruz's house. Now that I'm standing in front of it, looking up and wondering how he managed to get this heaven built on earth, I'm in awe of the place. There's a gazebo not too far from the house and from where I'm standing, I can see a pool table, some comfortable sofas and an electric grill in the corner of the gazebo. To my left, there is a black gate leading to the side of the house where I'm sure the pool is located.I let out a sigh and lift my face to breathe in the fresh air but a moment later, I perceive a very expensive perfume in the air and I bring my head down. I gasp when I see a stunning woman dressed in a white shirt and white shorts paired with white gorgeous sandals glaring at me. She looks too expensive to be the help so I assume that she's Mr Cruz's wife."Good morning ma'am." I greet her. Mr Cruz told me to get here before seven am which is the time he leaves for work and it's six thirty
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Seventeen
Gabriel The noise in the conference room grates on my nerves but I grind my teeth together to avoid yelling at them to keep quiet. I'd told Kim to call a shareholders meeting and now I'm regretting it. "Are you okay?" Gabi asks me. "I'm fine." I say then stand up and make my way to the stage and the noise dies down. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen." They all nod in greeting and I take that as my cue to continue since I have their attention now. Behind me is a projector and on the screen are faces of some of the employees of Emerson Cruz Group. I would talk to the rest of them much later but for now, they're the only ones I can manage. "I called this meeting to apologize for...what I did." Bile rises in my throat and I force myself not to puke. Lucille put me in this mess and while I would never raise my hand to beat her because my dad told me only cowards beat women, but I'll make her pay for this humiliation some other way. I am going to crush Lucille Kendrick's spirit. "It
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Eighteen
ArianI am sitting on the wingback chair which I moved to face the floor to ceiling windows to enjoy the dawn and sunset reading one of the books Mrs Collins had given me permission to take along with me when a knock sounds on my door.I followed Kareena to school this morning in the car and then came back home with Micah who informed me of the time Kary's school closes so I'll have to make the same trip with him to pick her up, take her to her favorite ice-cream shop and then home as Mr Cruz had instructed Theresa to tell us.Another loud knock sounds on the door and I get up from my comfortable position and pad barefoot to answer the door. I gasp and move back when I see who it is and I hope she's not come to throw me out like she told Mr Cruz she would do."Good morning Ma'am." I greet and curtsey.She walks into the room and looks around then scrunches her nose as if she can't stand the smell in the room which is just my vanilla shampoo."How much did he offer you? I can triple it
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Nineteen
Gabriel The next dayLucille was smart enough to know that it wouldn't benefit her to stay in the house which was why she left before I returned from the hospital. Theresa told me she'd hurriedly packed a bag and left without saying a word to anyone.I've been patient with her for years but after what she did to Arian, I have decided that I can't take any more of her behavior and I want out of this marriage. I call my father's lawyer and ask him to come over to the house so we could talk about the best option for me - annulment or divorce.I'm sitting in my home office going through some documents when Theresa comes to inform me of the lawyer's arrival and I tell her to bring him to my office. Fabian Chamberlain has been with my father for years and I know I can trust him to help me out with my dilemma."Long time no see Gabriel." Fabian says when Theresa lets him into my office."Thank you for coming at such short notice Fabian." I shake hands with him. "Please sit.""Oh well, you k
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Twenty
Lucille "Drinking won't solve your problems Lu." My best friend, Samantha snatches the glass of wine from my hand and dumps it on the table beside the sofa. "Maybe if I'm dead drunk, I won't see my life flashing before my eyes." I tell her.Sam rolls her eyes heavenward. She probably thinks I'm dramatic and maybe I am but she's not married to a man like Gabriel Cruz. She's not lived with him for seven years and she's definitely not wanted him so bad over the years that she ended up sleeping with someone below her standard just to scratch that terrible itch.I am the one in that position so I have every right to be dramatic any way I want."Don't be so OA." She says. "I'm sure whatever you did, wasn't so bad.""Wasn't so bad? I beat someone up and sent her to the hospital." I say.Sam lets out a beleaguered sigh. "What did you do this time, Lu?""Gabe hired a nanny for Kareena without letting me know. I told him I didn't want her in the house but he threatened to end my career if I t
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Twenty One
Gabriel I've always considered myself to be a very patient person. After all, I waited almost twenty years to see Kareena again and I'm still waiting - even though I think there's something about Arian Macavinta that I can't put my finger on.That aside, I gave Vincent Harvey two days to do the right thing but I'm yet to see the result. He probably thinks I really don't have anything on him and he'd come out the loser if he did what I told him to do but what he doesn't know is that I have more than enough evidence to put him behind bars for at least a couple of years and his company - completely taken over by either the government or by me.I twirl the pen in my hand several times as I stare at my laptop screen then glance at the TV as the news highlights come on. It's the same old crap about politics, entertainment and whatnot so I pick up the remote and turn it off."You really want to know what I have, don't you Harvey? Well, here it is." I drop the pen, pick up the wireless recei
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Twenty Two
Gabriel I'm not very surprised to see Lucille waiting for me outside the main gate of the estate. I'd given the security guards instructions not to let her into the estate under any circumstance and I'd hoped they'd listen to me. Seeing her now... waiting with the afternoon guard in his office, I smirk and pull up in front of the gate and press a button for the window to roll down. "Good afternoon sir." The guard greets me. "Afternoon Josh." I say, glance at Lucille who has a petulant pout on her face and I flash a smug smile at her. "Have you been waiting for long?" "Yes." She spits. "My bad." I pretend to sound contrite. "You're here to pack your bags?" She huffs and makes her way out of the office to my car. She tries to open the passenger door but she can't. "What are you doing?" I ask her. "I want to follow you home. You refused to let me use the car and my dad didn't let me use his either so I took a cab here." She says. "My car is full Lu." I tell her. "There's no
