Chapter 281 - The Truth And The Unexpected Guest
Sabrina continue as she tell them how their mother was raped and how she told her to look away. Her mother's torture didn't end from the mastermind that raped her first. She didn't mention Francisco. Francisco's name is for later. She didn't want Ferdinand to start searching for him because her mother is still enjoying torturing them.
The pain that Ferdinand is feeling was too much that he just wished to die. Now he understands why Sabrina didn't want him to know what happened. She was muted because she didn't want anyone to be in pain. The pain she felt was extreme as she watched her mother got raped and slapped by Janine multiple times.
"I was useless back then." She said. "How can I help my mother at her very worst? I am a useless daughter. So, I thought I better die after I saw her right in front of me getting killed."
Ferdinand's legs was wobbling, and his knees fall on the carpet. He can't listen to her anymore. She didn't want to say it because she knows it would be too painful for them. Ferdinand sat there and lean on the sofa as he wept.
Little Anastasia peek on them and saw that her grandfather is crying. Her lips wobble and she run to him and hug up. Ferdinand was surprised for a while but when Little Ana, said. "Papi, why are you crying?" Ferdinand hugged little Ana and he started sobbing. Ethan was stunned on how sweet Ana is, even Enzo was surprised. They all turn back and hold their emotions for a while.
Sabrina turn to Gabriel who cock her head upstairs. She followed him. He turn his back from her, and she knows that he hate it whenever he see her cry so she hug him from his back, shove her face on his broad back and started sobbing. She cry silently as Gabriel hold onto Athena.
It took Sabrina a while before she stop crying. Then she drank more water and crawl to Athena on the bed. She hugged the little one gently as tears falls from her eyes. Gabriel wipe it off.
"Hubby promise me. Don't let anything or the same thing to our little Athena."
"I promise you my love. No bad thing will happen to our daughter. Stay strong for me." She nodded.
Gabriel let the mother and daughter sleep as he go downstairs, he found Ferdinand sitting on the same spot. Little Ana was in his arms already asleep. He kisses his granddaughter's head and he stood as he turn to him.
"Guest room is ready. Dinner will be settled in few minutes." Ferdinand nodded. He took Ana to the guest room as Kiel and Aria followed with Ethan.
"Dad," Aria calls. He turn to her. "Everything will be fine. You have your grandchildren."
"Thanks, dear." He left the room and went to the guest room that Gabriel reserved for him. He sat there and think. Sabrina didn't say who raped her mom. The master mind isn't just Janine but someone raped Anastasia first. He must find out where his wife is staying, in that way, he will avenge her.
"Anastasia, wherever you are. I will find you." He said. He needs strength to find her. He has to find her. Janine seemed to be ghosted by Anastasia and the woman in the café was her. He was certain of that.
He call Ezekiel Mondragon first and he didn't answer after few rings. Then he called him again and again until he answered it.
"What's the matter?"
"Your favorite granddaughter has an adorable Athena. Aren't you going to visit her?"
"I will visit her as soon as I am not busy anymore."
"Hmm, what are you busy about? You are old, father."
"Don't call me father, Alvarez."
"Well, how should I address you then?"
"I will visit my great granddaughter soon." Then Ezekiel hangs up.
There's a knock on his door and a voice saying that their dinner is ready. He came out and look at the adorable boys as they crawl on the mat that Gabriel settled for them. Little Kiel is playing with them and he's laughing. Their family is growing. Anastasia would be happy to see this.
Gabriel join them and said that Sabrina is tired. They are all quiet when a butler came to give him a message.
"Sir, there's a guest outside. A sedan. Said to be Madam's friend."
"Name?"
"Eros." Everyone stopped. Except for Ferdinand who don't know him.
Catriona put her fork down and reach the knife. Gabriel wanted to laugh. Good thing that they aren't in Sabrina's villa but in the house, he bought for them. Enzo reach his phone and call Whiskey. He then hold Catriona's wrist the one she used in holding the knife.
"How many securities did he have?" Ferdinand asked.
"Five Sir, including the driver."
"Tell him that my wife don't want to see him." The Butler nodded and relay the message. Sabrina walk downstairs with Athena in her arm. The little one is awake, and she has her phone. Gabriel noticed it. Did someone just informed her too?
"Let the man in. Only him, inside." Sabrina said. She look fresh and ready to fight.
Catriona calms down and Enzo patted her head.
"Tell him to join the dinner." She said. Then she calls the maid. "Please settle a plate at the other edge." The maid nodded. Then she tell her people to check on him thoroughly.
Sabrina sat on the chair beside Gabriel and Gabriel check on little Athena.
"She look like she want to punch someone." Gabriel said and Athena's eyes widens and move excitedly like she want to cuddle with her dad.
"Gabby, I told you… she's becoming clingy." Sabrina said. Gabriel kisses the little one and he carries her. They all look at Eros as he smile wide.
"Hello! I brought wine for everyone." He said with wide smiles and his eyes landed on Catriona who only face Enzo, she look at nowhere and she's calm. "Darling, Catriona. How are you?"
"Who is he?" Catriona asked Enzo.
"Oh, never mind about him, my love." Enzo caress her hair affectionately. Eros's eyes darkens but he change it immediately.
"Welcome, Eros. How's your trip?" Sabrina asked and Eros walk to the chair that is settled for him. Away from them.
"It's fine, Sabrina. You are talking." Eros said. "You've got a good voice. Never heard a woman sound so angelic and dangerous at the same time." Sabrina chuckles and glance at Catriona.
"So, who else did u bring today?" Sabrina asked.
"Just myself for now." He winks and his eyes possessively turn to Catriona. Enzo glower at him, Enzo's arm are around Catriona claiming her.
"Great. Enjoy your meal." Sabrina said and the maid serve him food. He look at it. Its the food that he's allergic too. Too tricky.
"what a great food. Thank you but, I ate before coming. I just want to see your daughter and where are the triplets?" Eros asked Enzo. Enzo smile in a very evil way.
"I already sold those rascals. So, no one will interrupt me and my wife while we are making love." Enzo said. Eros's hand clenches as he imagine it. He doesn't like it at all.
"So, Eros, who do you work for?" Ferdinand asked and Eros smile looking charming, but it was venomous.
"I work for myself. Oh, by the way, I will meet your brother tonight. You can come if you want." Eros said. Ferdinand stopped for a while. The brother he haven't seen for years is here in the same land.
Eros's phone chimes and it was a message from Shadow. Who's shadow?
"The game is on." Ethan received the same message and Catriona as well.
"Who's your brother?" Ethan asked his father.
