37 She Sings (F)

She stayed there, kept singing and recording herself. Until there's a buzz from the doorbell. Then, someone knocked on the door. She thought that it might be Gabriel. She stood as she took out the recording and kept it for safety. She rushed out of the room and saw him walking upstairs from the living room. He reached the final staircase, strode in her direction. She ran to him childishly. She jumped up on him, wrapped her arms around his nape. 

"What have you been doing?" he asked her after he caught her. She shrugged and kissed him passionately. "Hmm, you kiss so well." He complimented as she responded with a smirk. "It's Friday. What do you want to watch tonight?" He carried her toward their room. She always clung like a koala.

She wanted to speak and answer him but she held back her tongue and bit his earlobe lightly. He groaned and held her tightly. She helped him strip in their bedroom.

Meanwhile, the maid and the butler were busy preparing their pizza and tortillas in the kitchen for them. She went through Netflix and searched for something thrilling while she was waiting for him. She settled on the bean bag when she finally chose a movie to watch. 

She reached for her phone and scrolled when suddenly his phone started ringing. He's still in the shower and he probably won't hear his phone. She crawled toward the table to reach it. Then, she looked down at the screen as an unregistered number was popping. She went to the bathroom and was about to knock when the number hung up. Then, it rang again. There have been 20 missed calls from the same number. She opened his phone after entering his code. The number kept on calling him from morning until this time. It was a serious matter since he's not answering any of it. 

Her instinct said that someone was blackmailing him, so he answered it. Hearing the voice made her left brow arch. 

"Gabby! I have been calling for ages! I know that I messed up that's why we broke up but I am already here in the Philippines so pick me up. Please… I know that you can't resist me. Baby… please talk to me." 

She scoffed and hung up then threw his phone somewhere. She might hear it bounce from the bed to the carpet or something but she doesn't care. 

She slouched back on the bean bag when the maid knocked on the door. Then, it was opened. They entered and served the pizza, tortilla, and everything that they made. She madly picked the pizza and started eating with a frown. She somehow felt heated up from that call. So, she started watching the movie without waiting for him. 

Gabriel came out from the bathroom with a towel around his waist and another towel to wipe his hair. He stared at her, curious as to why she started a movie without him and even eating the pizza like she's the only one who would enjoy it. He sighed and looked in the direction where his phone was ringing. Now, he finally got it. She must've answered the annoying call from someone.

He put his PJs on and blocked the number. He was meaning to block the number but since he got too busy, he forgot about it. He settled down on the bean bag couch and pulled her into his lap like coaxing a child.

"Are you jealous?" He asked, she responded with a frown and a question on her face. "That was just some random woman." She rolled her eyes and continued eating. "Brina… it's the truth." She reached her tablet and scribbled

"I don't care about the truth and the lie."

"Hmm. But you look adorable when you are jealous." She exhaled and shook her head annoyed. "I wonder if I could see that adorable annoyed face every day—I would make you jealous." She gave him a threatening look. "That threatening face always makes me think of something naughty. Did you know what it is?"

She gave him a questioning look. Like-'what'?

"It always makes me want to eat you up down there." she flushed and then bit her lower lip. "I am serious." He was serious and he rubbed her butt cheek. "Do you want me to demonstrate or go straight there?" She grinned and bit her lower lip sexily.

She picked another slice of pizza and fed it to him.

"Hmm." He chews a few times. "You don't want it?" he insisted. She punched his chest lightly. "It'll be fun." He grinned at her.

Janine couldn't sleep. She moved from side to side on the bed while her husband didn't want to sleep beside her. He was always in his study room. She sat up when she couldn't sleep. She thought about the girl that has been ruining her life. Sabrina. Although she wasn't home together with her brothers, it still worried her somehow. How could she kill Sabrina? That little bitch always survives and it is getting into her nerves.

There are ways to kill Sabrina but she wanted it to be the best way. She's been dreaming of smothering her with her hand or torturing her first before killing her. Like what she did to her mother. A sinister smile draws on her lips. She could do the same that she did to her mother.

She went to her vault and called one person that she could always rely on. The one who spoiled her so much.

"It's been a long time. I am itching to kill the little b! tch."

"Are you calling me now from your home?" The mysterious voice of a man sent her shivers, but to her, it was her pleasure.

"Yes. No one can hear us. My husband is in his office getting drunk."

"Are you sure? If you want to kill Sabrina, you have to know her background first."

"B-background?"

"You don't know her fully." The man laughed. "How could you be so ignorant? You are her stepmother. And now, she has Lawson on her side. That man isn't easy to deal with as well. If you could only make Lawson be Marga's husband, it will be easy for us to finish the triplets."

"But Lawson is already being poisoned by that woman."

"Do something different then." Janine disconnected the call and thought about it.

Enzo has been sleeping almost day and night because of his head. So, Catriona takes her chance to leave for the gym that is in the other building of the headquarter. She faced her sparring mates and started kicking some ass. She was in the middle of winning when someone called her attention.

"Catastrophe! You are needed in the VVIP suite!"

She wanted to roll her eyes and regret helping that person. Maybe she should've just let him die there, right? He was too annoying. If it wasn't for their big boss's order, she wouldn't let him make her do whatnot inside the hospital. Or even help him or something.

She ran from the gym to the hospital and she dropped her duffel bag glowering at him. He yawned and pointed to the glass pitcher of water. She went to the table as she poured a glass of water and gulped it.

"I need one too." She rolled her eyes and took another glass and filled it with water. She strode to her and gave it to him. He held her hand that was holding the water and grinned. "You look messily hot." He drank the water without letting her hand go. She just raised her brow and let him harass her.

"I'll be discharged in a few days, let's start planning for our date so we could also start making babies."

She clenched the glass of water and she almost squeezed it until it broke. She's angry. Damn, never did she get angry over a man teasing her. He was simply annoyingly stupid. She wanted to smack his head off. He held her hand again and finished drinking the water, then he grabbed her until she carelessly fell on him.

The man was strong, he pulled her until she was over him. He scoops her chin and passionately kissed her mouth. He wrapped his hand on her nape so she wouldn't resist him. She pushed herself but he warned her.

"If you keep resisting, I don't know whether I can still hold myself." He said seductively.

"You asshole!" she hissed and itched to punch him but she held herself. Then they both stopped as they heard the sound of a thud on the floor. They both look at Ethan who was too surprised.

"Enzo, you aren't well yet but you are already flirting!" Ethan scolded. "Let that poor woman go."

"No. Bro, please. Get out. I don't need you here." He said annoyed. Ethan rolled his eyes and left. "Now we are alone again." He grins at her. She pushed him down and he groaned in pain.

She picked up her duffel bag and went inside the bathroom. While he lay there, licking his lower lip and biting it. It tasted good. He'll do it often to her. He sighed as he waited for her to finish her bath.

After thirty minutes, she got out wearing her usual black and white outfit. Wet and messy hair. She didn't care and looked like this was her home. She picks up the paper bag that Enzo's brother brought and pulls out a box of condoms. She wanted to frown. Ethan already knew what was happening.

"Don't throw that." He warned. She threw it to his face then put the rest on the table. She went to her now clean sofa and lay there while watching a movie. "You are going to live with me."

"I don't live with anyone." She said nonchalantly.

"That's an order."

"I only take orders from my boss and her orders also have limits and you aren't my boss." She said coldly.

"I am your boss."

"You are on the control system and I am an A-Special Spy. Your sister holds that part." She argued. He sighed and admired the condom as he lifted it.

"My brother knows what size it is." He sighed again as he felt sad after Catriona rejected him. "Tsk, I badly need sex."
