"She's my wife to be Mey, I'll be announcing it tonight." He pulled Jaquetta close to himself and she forced a smile. It not like she wasn't already aware of this man calling her his wife, but as she grew up, she got disgusted by him with every passing day.
Maybe because he calls her to scrub his layered wide body, or the fact he forces her to seat and watch the other women like Maybelline pleasure him before her.
"Wow." The woman exclaimed narrowing her eyes at the little girl. She wanted to see what was so special about this girl that has turned Gabriel into a blind powerless fool. As she didn't like the little girl, even if Jacquette was a beauty, she didn't see it.
"That is wonderful Gab. I hope she's already aware of the rules and knows not to break them?" Her words were directed more at Quetta than at Gabriel and he nodded with a smile.
"My Quetta is everything but a bird. She knows how to keep her mouth sealed. Right my love?" Gabriel asked and Quetta nodded quickly. He pulled her closer and pressed his lips on her cheek before everyone. It's his little way of marking his territory and showing his affection for everyone to see.
More people came in to wish him a happy birthday and Jaquette was right there with him. Her eyes turning to look at every guest that walked in. Though she had no idea who she had called, but the man had promised to save her tonight and putting Gabriel back in his place.
She only hoped he would be here in time, cause after tonight, there may not be any chance left for her to escape since Gabriel has forbidden her from leaving the mansion and doubling his guards around the house.
Once they were done greeting the guest, they headed to the dinning room to have dinner. This time rather than having just one table for everyone, there were several tables in the large room filled with several people of high status.
Gabriel wasn't just anyone, he is a man many loved and some envied. A man others wanted dead but they don't just know how to kill him.
Once everyone had settled for dinner, he held his toast cup and used a knife to click on the wine cup to get everyone's attention. Everyone turned to him finally and he said, "Thank you all for honouring my invitation tonight. As you already know I'm not only going to be celebrating my 40th birthday, but I have decided to settle down also." Gabriel said proudly and murmurs began.
Everyone wanted to see the wife of Gabriel Bernardo.
"In two weeks, I'm going to be married to..."
"You're under arrest Gabriel Bernardo don't even move." Someone barged in through the door startling everyone, including Quetta who sat next to Gabriel.
"I'm officer Seth. And you're under arrest for drug trafficking and the murder of Guiliana Bernardo."
Gabriel who was just about to announce his wife to everyone frowned at the little distraction. He turned to his men, "Take her away from here I'll deal with this." One of the men grabbed Quetta and as he was about to take her away, the man with the gun said. "Touch her and I'll blow your heads. Let the girl go, NOW!!." Gabriel frowned. He was really turning impatient with everything happening.
"Come over here little girl." Quetta blinked at him wondering if this is the man she had called.
"Don't you dare make a move." Gabriel warned. He would have ordered his men to kill this Imbecile but he had no idea who and who was with him. The people in the room scattered around screaming for their lives didn't make things easy for him.
"Who even invited this idiot?" He asked and Quetta gulped. She hoped this man will be able to get her out of here, cause if he doesn't and Gabriel finds out she's the betrayal, her penalty will be death.
"What does it matter?" The man asked.
"Mr Gabriel, if you would please follow me to the station and not make it hard for yourself as well as everyone in here." He added.
"Alright Seth. You seem to be a daring man to come in here and arrest me, who are you with, you can all come out let's all go together." Gabriel smiled at the man.
"Sir there's something I need you to see." Bones appeared behind Gabriel with a cellphone and Quetta turned pale.
Bones stared at her before shifting his gaze back to his master. "Not now bones I'm in the middle of something."
"I've found who rattled you out." Bones whispered and Quetta started walking towards the policeman she had called.
"Where are you going to?" Gabriel roared ignoring his butler. Quetta knew if she didn't move now she would be punished when he finds out who had betrayed him.
Quetta bit her lips staring between Gabriel and the man.
"Quetta darling don't you dare make a move. Come honey, I'll take good care of you." She shook her head taking a step forward and Gabriel frowned.
"I rattled you out. You will kill me." She confessed and his frown deepened.
"Come Quetta we can settle this. If you leave don't think about coming back." He declared and she felt her hands turn cold.
Quetta didn't want to go through the same punishment as before. If he had done that to her for not finding her in her room, who knows what he'll do once she goes back?
She ran towards the man with a gun and the sound of gun suddenly echoed in the air. Quetta saw the man she was running towards drop dead on the floor.
Her body suddenly turned weak as all colour drained from her face. The man that had promised to protect her was lying lifeless on the floor.
"Get Her!!! She heard Gabriel scream and she ran towards the door and into the halls.
"Kill Her!!! He screamed again and several gun shots was heard from behind, all of it aimed her.
Everyone gathered rose to welcome me in. The new bride. Like every other little girl, I imagined getting married on a beach like this, where the reflection of the evening sun would touch my white dress as I stared at the man I love.
We'd make our vows to each other before everyone present. But all of these dreams died with Dalton.
Tonight I was getting married to someone I hate. Someone I would never love in a million years. Someone I would never be with even if he is the last man in the world.
Max had a knowing smile on that lips of his. He looked like the happiest person in the building, while I'm being forced to be his. I've tried to run away, but father was 10 steps ahead of me. He really wants me to be married to this man for business.
My step mother smiled on seeing me match to the alter, it's probably the first time I've seen her smile at me. So did Genevieve, my sweet step sister, the one who initiated this whole idea to save our family.
Since a child mother has always preffered her to me and it's understandable cause she was her daughter and I am the daughter of the first wife. Father had divorced mother for infidelity when I was three and he got married to another woman taking me with him.
At first, my step mum loved me like hers, but when she had her daughter she hated me. She said I bahaved too razz to be a Fallon.
Once I was close to where Max stood I gave my flower to Genevieve to see max stretch his hands towards me but I didn't take it. I rather went ahead to stand before the priest ignoring him completely.
"You look so beautiful." He whispered but I ignored him again.
"We are gathered here in the holy matrimony of our beloved children, Max Gunner and Fraye Fallon." The preist began the ceremony.
"GUNNER!!
A loud deep voice called from behind and everyone turned to see a man in black suit walk in. He had six large men tailing behind him as he walked towards the alter.
He was tall, with broad shoulders and thick black hair. He had a commanding presence, and looked super dangerous.
Murmurs began among the crowd, I could see the dreadful look on everyone's face including my parents and Max Gunner before me. Max was trembling and suddenly a wet stain showed on his brown pants.
Did Max just pee?
"M... Mr Grey." Max called shaking like a child that is caught doing something wrong.
"Where's my money?" The scary man asked now standing before him.
"I... I... I... I." He couldn't form a sentence and a punch landed on his stomach. Max's face contoured and he fell on the floor curling himself like a ball.
