CHAPTER 17: High School Reunion

DARREN’s P.O.V.

Weeks passed. Right now I’m preparing myself for Claire and Elijah’s high school reunion. Later today, I will finally meet that guy named Gabriel. I’ll admit it, I am badly curious about him. I badly wanted to saw his face and how he act towards my wife. Yes, my wife. I’m claiming Claire as my property.

I dialed her number out of excitement. Luckily, she answered my call after a several numbers of rings. I couldn’t say a word because nervousness suddenly invaded my system as soon as I heard her voice.

“Hello?”

“It felt nice to hear your voice,” I complimented.

I smile unconsciously as I heard her chuckled on the other line of the phone.

“Are you ready? I’m going to fetch you up later. Just wait for me, okay?”

“Yeah, yeah. Whatever, Mr. Herrera. Why did you call me, anyway?”

“Nothing. I just... I wanted to heard your voice. And of course, I miss you.”
