GABRIEL POV Today had got to be one of the best days of my life, dad is not as bad as I thought. He is quite easy to talk to. But there's something he said that keeps bothering me, he claims that Ralph never hit Rieka once. He claims that Rieka had panic disorder, and that she was wrongly accusing Ralph.After our conversation, I am left with more questions than I did before.' There had got to be a misunderstanding somewhere' - I think only to head home and find Ralph rough handling his wife, the dude tries to strangle his own wife, a pregnant woman. I hurrily run to the scene and split them off, Lifa falls to the floor and tries to stabilize her breathing. " What are you doing bro? Do you want to kill her?" I ask angry after separating them." Stay out of this bro" He says angry " Are you kidding me right now ,she's pregnant" I remind " And annoying " He says nonchalantly.'

GABRIEL POV I wake up the next morning and head to the bathroom for a quick shower, only to find it deserted.I have a flight in 30 minutes time, and my fiancee is no where to be found.' What could be so important that she had to leave this early'- I wonder. Last night I had contacted a private investigator to keep an eye on, and gather information on Ralph, after all I did promise Sia I was going to get revenge if it had to come to that. ' I just hope she doesn't try anything stupid'- I thinkNext thing I hear is a knock at the door, I open it and there Ralph is with tears in his eyes. He claims that someone burned down his warehouse this morning.He looks pathetic and miserable, who could blame him?, his entire life's work has just gone down the drain. He then proceeds to head to the location, I would have loved to follow him, but I have a flight to catch, and a Sia to talk to.A minute later, she walks in with a breakfast tray and a broad smile, making my blood boil.

SIA POV The next morning we are all sitting on the dinning for breakfast, when the witch walks in arrogantly, and take a seat opposite to mine. This morning we only had breakfast for 3, since Lifa isn't feeling well, and Ralph is somewhere sobbing. " Good morning aunty" I greet with an annoying smile but she doesn't respond " I trust you had a good night" I tease " Why do you care slut?" She insults.' It's just the audacity for me, a slut calling me slut. Such hypocrisy is revolting'- I think " Ulva behave yourself" Pa scolds " It's fine father. Let her think whatever she wants, after all I am not the one sleeping with a man young enough to be my son" I say and her eyes widen in shock. I am sure she suspects I know something. " What are you trying to say?" She says in fear" Nothing aunty. I was just joking. I heard that from a movie actually" I lie with a laugh " Maybe you should just stop saying rubbish like that, we know you're stupid but don't make it obvious" she insult

Ouch" I cry holding my injured waist, which might be broken now, from the fall." Let me help" He says offering me his hand and I slap it away " Don't touch me idiot" I command" You know it's all your fault. If only you stopped acting childish and just come sleep next to me" He says " You are very stupid" I insult, and he laughs" You are the most stupidest person I have ever seen" I insult in angry without thinking " I am pretty sure that isn't English" He mocks, amplifying my annoyance." You know what, keep the room" I say before dusting off myself and trying to walk out, but he pulls me by the hand onto himself. " What are you doing?" I ask in a panic " Let's go of me immediately" I command, while trying to hit him, but he pins both of my hands to the bed with him o
RIEKA POV I feel so dirty right now. I can't believe I let my worthless lust get the better of me. I betrayed myself, I betrayed my death children and last of all I betrayed Gabriel who has done nothing but love me, with all my imperfections. He has loved me even when no one considered me as something worth while. He has accepted my barrenness, and all I do is betray him. ' I need to speak to him, I need to apologize to the only person who has treated me like a human being'- I think before dialing his number, and he answers almost immediately." Hi babe" He says immediately he answers the call " Hi Daddy" I say " Thank God you called, I have been calling, but you haven't been answering. I miss you so much" He says excited, and I can't help but cry" I am so sorry" I cry " What for babe?" He ask " I betrayed you, and broke your trust" I say between sobs " What did you do? you can tell me. I promise I won't get mad" He says calmly " I will tell you when you get back" I inform,

I ask " Rieka, what you're doing is wrong " He says " First of all, don't call me that, and second, what are you talking about?" I question confused " I am talking about your unlawful relationship with Ralph" He informs " That's none of your business" I say simply " But it's my business, I know how that idiot hurt you, and it kills me to see you two together" He informs ' The audacity of this man to think he can tell me who, or who not to be with'" Well, thanks for the concern. You can leave now " I say ignoring him and walking towards the couch." Sia you have to stop this, what will happen when Gabriel finds out about your relationship with his own brother?"
