Lahat ng Kabanata ng Never Say Goodbye : Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Gabriel "You did this?" Ken looks shocked."Why do you look so surprised?" I chuckle. "Am I not capable of kidnapping the man who tried to kill me?""I didn't think you had it in you." He rumbles."Well, I do." I grab a chair from the corner of the room, set it down in front of him and plop down on it. "Here you are, strapped to an electric chair and looking like you were beaten to an inch of your life." I turn my head to look at Rene. "Did he give you a name?""He said he'd rather die." Rene replies."Is that so?" I scoff. "Well... I can make that happen if you don't tell me what I want to know.""You don't have it in you, Cruz." He spits. "You didn't have it in you back then, and, you certainly don't have it in you now. You've always been a weakling."My gaze swivels to Rene and his partner as they simultaneously withdraw their guns from their holsters, ready to blow Ken's brain out for talking to me in such a despicable manner, but I shake my head at them and they pull back, retur

Gabriel I watch as a plethora of emotions cross Arian's face as she carefully traces the words in the letter through the glass and I'm left wondering why she looks so sad. She did tell me she doesn't like sad stories but I think it's something more than she's letting on. She looks up at me with tears in her eyes and for that brief moment... I imagine her telling me that she's my Kareena. No two people can evoke such profound feelings in someone and I'd felt that way with Kareena many many years ago. Our meeting had been brief - less than one hour - but I'd known, despite being eight years old and not having any idea what love really was all about, that she was the one. "Why are you crying?" I ask her. She hands me the picture frame, wiping her tears and turning away from me. "I don't know." She sniffles. "Today is a day of emotional rollercoaster for me, I guess. I mean... Kary turned six today and... It makes me feel like she's growing up so fast." She chuckles softly. "I wasn'

Arian Once upon a time, I resented Lucille Kendrick Cruz because I thought she didn't value what she had and at some point, I pitied her as well, but... I never imagined that I'd be saying this to myself. I didn't value what I had until I lost it and it hurts really bad to be near him but not being able to touch him. At least, he's out of sight and probably out of mind where his wife is concerned, but I don't have that kind of luck. I get to see him everyday, sit with him at the breakfast table with his daughter, then at night during dinner as well. It's been two whole months since we had a friendly conversation and I don't know what demon possessed me to completely cut him off the way I did. I would say it's for the best because I no longer have those terrible nightmares featuring Rafael holding Gabriel at gunpoint - like he did Matteo - but the erotic dreams that have plagued me since we ended our 'thing' are much worse than the nightmares. True to his word, he treats me like o

Gabriel "I'll go away." Lucille says. "I just came to say goodbye to you."Kary's gaze slides to mine in excitement, as if she's already guessed why her mother is saying that. "Does this mean... She won't be in our lives anymore?""Yes, baby." I nod. "We're finally getting a divorce.""Yay!" She claps her hands excitedly. "Thank you, daddy!" She wraps her small arms around my neck."I guess this is my cue to leave." Lucille's voice cracks with emotion as she finally realizes that even her daughter doesn't want her around. "Goodbye... Kareena. Can I hug you?"Kary literally recoils from her, burying her face in my neck. I stroke her back to calm her down and gesture for Lucille to leave. Thankfully, she listens to me and walks away."Is she gone?" Kary asks."Yes, baby." I reply. "You won't see her again if you don't want to.""I don't want to see her again." She reaches for Arian and I hand her over to Arian. "I love you, Arian. I want you to be my mother."Arian's wide eyed gaze sli

Lucille Gabriel has finally done it. He wants to get rid of me so he can have a good life with that bitch and my stupid daughter who wouldn't know a good mother from a bad one even if it hit her in the face. She has forgotten that it's because of me, because of my love for her father that she's alive today, but I'm going to let it slide with her because she's just a little girl.I'm sure Gabriel has been feeding her lies about me, which was the reason why she'd not wanted me at the party. One thing Gabriel Cruz doesn't know is that inasmuch as I love him, my love could easily turn to hatred and I did promise to never let him be happy with any other woman. If killing him or her would ensure the end of their budding relationship, then so be it. I'm game."Are you really letting him go?" Samantha settles down on the single wingback chair with a drink in her hand. "It's unlike you.""I'm making him think he has won, Sam." I send her a smirk. "He may win the case in court and we'll get d
