Chapter 34 (All because I love you) (Gustavo pov)I watched as Mrs. Ciara settled the bills at the station, frustration building within me as my car had been confiscated. I was asked to return later to retrieve it, but anger and rage consumed me.That wretched Simon was unbelievably lucky to have escaped my grasp. Fuming, I threw my jacket to the ground."Are you serious?" Mrs. Ciara exclaimed, her frustration evident. "What were you thinking, engaging in a car chase with Simon?""It's none of your business," I simply retorted.She scoffed, her tone laced with annoyance. "You should be grateful that I decided to come along. If Saint ever finds out about this, everything will be over. Maybe you should consider leaving Gemini alone."I glared at her, the thought of leaving Gemini never crossing my mind. She was mine from the very beginning, and who did Simon think he was? How dare he try to take what was rightfully mine!"Wher
Chapter 35 (The story untold) (Simon pov)It has been two days since she confessed her feelings for me, and I find myself unsure of how to respond. Should I have sent her a reply? These thoughts have been swirling in my mind, distracting me from my work at the New Heart Foundation.As I sat at my desk, Hailey came in with the documents I had requested. I thanked her and began reviewing them. My suspicions were confirmed - Gustavo was indeed up to no good.One name in particular caught my attention - Sevan Holding. I had heard of this company before, but I thought it had gone bankrupt. How was it still functioning?Curiosity piqued, I called Hailey back into the office. I asked her if we had received an offer from Sevan Holding, as I vaguely remembered. She confirmed my recollection, but I had instructed her to hold them off, deeming their offer suspicious.Curiosity getting the better of me, I asked her about the details o
Chapter 36 (The plan)(Gustavo’s Pov)I stared blankly at the ceiling, my heart still in pieces after Gemini shattered it just three days ago. The memory of her callous rejection weighed heavily on my mind.Tiara rolled over to face me, her hand gently caressing my bare chest. "What are you thinking about?" she asked, concern evident in her eyes.I brushed her hand off and sat upright. "You should get dressed and leave," I told her, trying to keep my tone firm.Tiara looked at me with confusion and hurt. "But my mom is still in Paris. I don't need to leave so soon," she pleaded."I'm a busy man, Tiara. And don't you have school? Senior year, right?" I responded, trying to sound reasonable. I walked to my wardrobe, grabbed my work clothes, and laid them out on the bed.She sighed and got out of bed, standing before me. I couldn't help but notice her young beauty, her vulnerability. I walked closer to her, gent
Chapter 37 (Sevan holding)(I years ago )(Gustavo’s POV)"Have you heard the news?" the lady asked the other lady sitting across from her in the cafeteria."What, are you getting married again?" the other teased, causing the first lady to roll her eyes."Sevan Holdings is going to be shut down," the first lady finally said.As I sat there, I couldn't help but eavesdrop on their conversation. Sevan Holdings... what were they talking about?I pulled out my phone and quickly searched for more information. Finally, I found it. Sevan Holdings had declared bankruptcy and was being forced to shut down. It was an investment company located in the heart of New York. How had I never heard of them before?"That's too bad," I muttered to myself, dropping my phone back onto the table. But my curiosity got the best of me, and I continued to listen in on their conversation."A friend of my husband's works there," the second
Chapter 38 (The visit)(Gemini’s Pov)I've been in Japan for two weeks now, thanks to Tracy and Penelope who decided to accompany me during my stay. Their presence has been a source of immense relief, as I was afraid I would lose my mind."Being pregnant is the worst," I sighed, voicing my frustrations as we sat at a sushi restaurant in Tokyo."Five months in, who's counting?" Penelope chimed in, taking a bite of the various sushi placed in front of us.I glanced over at Tracy, grateful that I convinced her to come along and help me handle the stress of running the gallery here. Thanks to my grandmother, my schedule has been even busier than when I was at Saint Global.The private investigator I hired to look into Sevan Holdings has come up with a dead end. It's the same story - it was bought by a foreign company, but no one knows who's in charge, and Jerome Spine seems to have vanished off the face of the
Chapter 39 (The Letter)(Gemini’s Pov)I made my way toward where my grandmother sat, quietly slipping into the seat beside her and pulling her into a tight hug. Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably as I sobbed, unable to contain the overwhelming emotions that had consumed me."Language, young lady," my grandmother scolded gently, though her voice was filled with warmth and love."I'm sorry, Grandma," I managed between sobs. "I just... I don't know how you managed to make it to San Francisco. Did Uncle Brandon bring you here too?""Let's take things one at a time, Gemini," Grandma said, her voice soothing as she took my hand in hers and patted it softly.I looked into her eyes, filled with concern and pain, and then glanced over at Aunt Vivian, who seemed equally burdened with sadness. Desperately, I turned my gaze toward Jasper, hoping for some answers or comfort, but he ignored me completely."Where is Un
Chapter 40 (Maya Greyson Saint)1 year ago: (Before the Accident:)“You are leaving, we are still talking about the issues we have with Inc. Global, are you just going to ignore me Maya” Saint spoke angrily Maya knew her husband was trying to start something unreasonable with her and she wasn't ready for it.“Saint is this a good time for all this, you know how this trip is important to me, I am not signing the document, we don't need Inc.Global.” she retorted, picking up her luggage Saint grabbed hold of her arm, holding it tightly as Maya flinched, her eyes widened as she stared at Saint. “What are you doing” she questioned, her tone filled with curiosity and fear.Saint knew he had no choice but to stop his wife, she was going to Ruin everything he had worked hard to achieve.“Sign the document and you can leave for your trip, All I need is your signature” He ordered.Her brows furrowed, she knew she couldn't trust Saint,
Chapter 41 (Twist of Event)(Gemini’s Pov)A week has passed since I visited Uncle Brandon and found out about the key. Uncle Brandon had promised to let me know when he found out more about what my mom had meant.I have been avoiding My father and stepmother since I got back.Grandma had been going in and out of the hospital lately, her health deteriorated so fast, that I had to focus completely on the gallery.Five months heavily pregnant and I felt like My life was already a big pile of secrets.I sat at the dinner table, my eyes glanced at my tab, Sevan holding has been going off the chart on the stock market.Saint Global keeps getting nominated and has limitless investors. Simon was on the cover of Vogue Business Times.I felt like everyone kept achieving something and I hadn't yet. “Why are you so up early” Simon asked walking into the kitchen as he made himself a cup of coffee.“I was hungry,” I told him, rubbing my
