CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

 

 

Gabrielle wasn’t stupid she saw the tabloids and everything being written against Ray.

No matter how badly she wanted to hate him for putting his greed first for his child, she couldn’t do it. She loved her family so much but got sold off because of some stupid inheritance.

It was lunch break and Xavier was still busy so she decided to see them for she also has a few questions she wanted to ask her father personally.

Once she was done with whatever she was doing she left the office and asked the driver to take her to her family’s home.

Took a deep breath and rested her head against the windshield and closed her eyes trying to calm her raging heart.

Her fluttered open when she noticed the car had increased its speed.

“What’s wrong Ross? We seem to be moving way faster.” She asked the driver.

 

“Well ma’am I noticed a car being robbed just by the roadside at gun point. Had to increase the speed so they don’t come after us when they notice we’re riding a fancy car.” He calmly explained and Gabby immediately agreed with him.

Once again Xavier have managed to impress her with the perfect men he employed. They knew how and when to do their jobs.

She knew if he’d not drive faster they would have been stopped.

“Okay then do what you need to do.” She gave him a thumbs and closed her eyes completely unaware of the strange glint that passed through his eyes.

He drove skillfully and managed to loose the car trailing them.

Gabby opened her eyes when she heard the engine turned off.

Ross had arrived at Ray Mansion and parked in front of the mansion.

She looked out the tinted window and noticed the butler standing by the car to receive her.

A took a deep breath and stepped outta car with a smile plastered on her lips.

“Welcome back young miss.” The butler bow in respect and led her inside where the whole family was waiting.

 

“Thank you Sebastian.” She smiled at him and walked towards the living room.

Her mom stood up immediately she saw her coming.

“Oh my goodness Gabby you’re here.” She mumbled and wanted walking towards her daughter but stopped on her track when she noticed Gabrielle stopped walking.

Gabrielle might looked cold on the outside but inside she was in a emotional conflict with herself.

She looked at her mom who had lost a lot of weight since the last time they saw and couldn’t help but be heartbroken.

 

“Mom.” She called out and slowly walked towards her hugging her in the process.

She might be mad at everyone but the sight of her mother hurt her so much she forgot about her anger.

“I’m so sorry my child I’ve been a bad mother.” She cried hugging her tight.

Ray who saw this could only look away and swallow his grievances. Anna was not an exception as she was envious of how Gabrielle was glowing.

She wished she’d not sent her over to Lord Xavier. She probably came to laugh at the predicament.

After the mother and daughter emotional moment Gabby decided to be quick about what she wanted to know.

“Dad.” She muttered and Ray slowly looked at the woman in front of him. For some reason he became intimidated by the sight of her.

“Gabby I…” She cuts him off before he could say anything.

“Don’t.. I would appreciate it if you don’t try to justify your actions in front of me. I only came here for the truth nothing more.” She interrupted and Ray frowned slightly.

“Fine what do you wanna know?” He might as well tell her what she wanted to know if that would make Lord Xavier spare his company.

“Why did you do that? Why do you want to get rid of me so badly? And please don’t even lie to me.” She spoke with a calm expression and Ray shook his head.

He couldn’t tell her why. No matter how much she asks he wasn’t gonna tell her a thing.

“I only wanted your fortune so I could stabilize the company situation and I’m sorry for acting outta greed.”

He lied with a straight face but Gabby had anticipated he would try to lie to her.

She could feel something was off but couldn’t place her hand on.

 

“Not the answer I want to hear Ray.” She called him by his first name but he couldn’t do a thing about it for she was someone with a powerful backing now.

“I’m sorry but I can’t tell you what you wanna hear. You can hate me all you want but please leave your mom and sister outta this.” He might sound righteous but Gabby knew he was hiding something and the expression on her mother’s face confirmed her suspicion.

“You know about it don’t you mom? ” She turned to her mom who only looked away nervously.

“I’m sorry honey but I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Mrs Monica didn’t wanna open old wounds.

“Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on!” She yelled in a murderous voice shocking them to their wits.

Annabelle snapped and decided to spill the beans.

“Fine you wanna know the truth so badly right? Great he’s not your biological father, do you understand now?” Annabelle spilled the beans for she was tired of hiding it anyway.

Mrs Monica looked at Anna in surprise and turned to Ray immediately.

Did he by chance tell Anna about it?

 

“What did you just say?”

 

TBC.
