Lucy had spent all those days cloistered in the hotel. She missed Brandon, Gideon, even Chung-hee, but most of all, she missed her freedom.Following the moment on television when Gideon was released, she felt apprehensive and it was not for less: the shooting only proved that she was right to be afraid. But Lucy saw something else there. Gideon was protecting a woman. Who would she be?Deputy Sanders was very nice and patient. She felt that she could really trust him, after all, he had ensured her safety until that moment.The Fairfaxes, with the exception of Rindley, were furious. They tried to leave the city, but the police did not allow it. Sanders warned them that the investigation into how they got Lucinda as a baby was ongoing and they would soon find out the truth.The bedroom phone rang and Rindley's voice invaded Lucy's ears.“My God, Lu! How are you?" he asked, concerned. Rindley knew that Lucy had been kept away all this time, including from Brandon.“I…I'm fine, Rindley.
"Wanda!", Gideon screamed, opening the door of his own bedroom and seeing her collecting the few items she had with her. "What is it?" She asked keeping her cold aura "I need to go. Deputy Sanders is waiting for me.""Why are you going?" He asked and ran a hand through his hair. "You don't have to go.""But I want to.", was her answer and he didn't like it. "I just stayed here because of what happened yesterday, Gideon. Things are under control and I must go to my house."He approached her, but she avoided his touch. "I have to go. You shouldn't leave your guest like that, Gideon."She wanted to slap herself after those words left her lips and Gideon knew she was jealous. 'I am being ridiculous!', she scolded herself and Gideon took that moment to pull her into a hug. "Let go of me!", she said, desperate. "Gideon, Sanders…"He shut her up with a kiss. Gideon felt his heart skipping beats by looking at Lucy, but the moment Wanda ran from him, it hurt. He was confused, very confuse
"It's going to be okay, Wanda, calm down." Sanders told Wanda, stroking her hair. Matteo went alone to the Ashford mansion, while Sanders stayed there with his friend. “Thanks for being there for me, Rick.” She said, lifting her face and smiling slightly. "You do not have to thank me. Do you want to watch something?” He asked and Wanda made a strange face. They weren't close enough to watch movies together. They were more connected by work, so she was surprised. “Do you want to watch TV with me?” She asked, frowning. “Anything to calm you down and distract yourself. I know you aren't like this just from the news I brought your father.” He caressed her face. “You left Ashford Manor very awkwardly.” Wanda sighed deeply, sadly. "I…" “No need telling me, Wanda. It's all right." He said and once again stroked her hair. “Your hair is beautiful.” She smiled. "If we weren't friends, I'd say you're flirting with me." She teased and Sanders composed himself. He was flirting, unconsciou
“What the fuck is happening here?” he asked, making the pair to jump with surprise. Wand looked at Gideon and was about to try to explain herself, but then she remembered how he was attached to Lucinda. “We are watching a movie.” She answered, calmly. “Watching a movie?” Gideon asked and looked at Sanders as if he could kill the man. “You were not just watching a movie! You had your head on his shoulder!” “He is my friend.” She said and clicked her tongue. “Why are you here? Don’t you have visit at your place?” “I am your fiancé!” He growled. “Don’t talk to her like that!” Sanders said Gideon had to control himself as not to punch the man, who above all, was a deputy and could put him back into jail.“Don’t stuck your nose where it does not belong!” He answered and went for Wanda, grabbing her arm. “You and I need to talk!” “Let me go!” She said and tried to set herself free. “Take your hands off of her!” Sanders sair. “Fuck off! She is mine and you won’t be in our way!” Gide
“No, I don’t.” Wanda answered, with a calm tone. “He is a friend, a very good friend.” “Friends with benefits?” Gideon asks and Wand, who was looking at the moon, turns her gaze to him. “No. I said friend. Look, you are very possessive. And we are not dating for real, so I don’t understand it.” She said, frowning. Gideon reached out for her hand. “Wanda, let’s not fight anymore, ok? I like you and I want and will get married to you. Stop thinking about other people. Focus on us.” Wadna wanted to say they didn’t love each other, but then, what for? It would only lead to fights. “Ok.” She said and he got closer to her, caressing her face. “Gideon?” He kissed her and this time, their kiss was not full of passion, like the other times. It was more gentle. “Future Mrs. Ashford.” He said, smiling and touching his forehead on hers. When he got back home, Lucy was going up the stairs. “Gideon!” She smiled at him and he pressed his lips together, smiling without showing the t
"My love?" William asked and she put her hand on her stomach."I... I think the time has come! The baby... Aah! He is thrilled and wants to...""Oh my God! The baby is coming!” William said and ran to the car, but then he didn't help Ellie, who was helped by Brandon.“I'll get the hospital bag, dad!” Brandon said and ran upstairs, going to his father's room and taking the suitcase that Ellie had already prepared, near the door.William was definitely in no shape to drive and Gideon was already at the driver's seat.“I'll ask the bodyguards and all security to follow you.” Brandon said, after all, they were all going away from the manor and it would be easy for the enemies to try to attack them."OK." Gideon said and saw by the rear mirror Lucy holding Ellie's hand.Lucy looked right a him and he swallowed hard. ‘You like Wanda!’, he reminded himself. And it was not hard, this time. Gideon drove as fast as he could, with Brandon following behind. The butler was going too, of course, a
Gideon tried to call Wanda, as he wanted to see her. There had been a sinking in his heart and something told him that he should be with her. However, her cell phone was turned off or out of range.Brandon walked out of the hospital hand in hand with Lucy and they both saw Gideon in the parking lot, his brow furrowed and his cell phone in his hand.“Is there a problem, brother?” Brandon asked, moving closer.“I can't talk to Wanda. It's very strange... I remember that her phone had almost full battery and I don't think that from here to her house the phone signal is unavailable.”Brandon looked at him seriously. They both knew what the possibility was and so Brandon tried calling Matteo.“Hold on, why do you have his number and I don’t?” Gideon asked, irritated.“Because I asked our father.” Brandon responded curtly and tried calling Matteo, but the result was the same. "There's something wrong."They called Chung-hee and this one called his team.“Let's track the phone. Even if it is
When Gideon entered the dark hangar, he heard some clicks. Gideon was more than experienced to know those were guns and that the place was full of people. “Where is my fiancé?” He asked out loud. “I know you can hear me, enough with the games!” “Pull your gun away, Gideon!” A different voice echoed, but Gideon was not into asking who it was. He just wanted to see Wanda. He remembered how things worked with Lucy and how much of an ass he had been with her during that occasion. He couldn’t imagine someone doing the same with the woman he had every intention of marrying. “Your fiancé is such a cute little thing, Gideon.” The man said and Gideon heard the noise of the metal stairs crackling, indicating someone was descending. “Don’t you touch my woman!” He hissed and the man laughed. “Well, you didn’t have that consideration when you took my woman from me, did you?” The man’s face appeared and there he was, Damon Montgomery, smiling with the devil’s grin on his lips. “Fuck…” Gideon
