The Billionaire's Last Successor

Chapter 7

 In The Bedroom

"Where are you going?" 

Seeing Gaberial suddenly coming from the living area and getting ready in his office attire made Sara doubtfully stare in his direction with a questioning gaze.

"I need to go office. I can't miss that." He pushes the tie on the neckline while matching her sight from the mirror reflection. 

"What?" She frowned, "Then what about here?" Her eyes turned furious as she strode in his direction.

"I can't handle Mom-Dad alone, and we are still in the middle of chaos. Do you forget that?" She clenched her hands.

He calmly turned and held her shoulders, "I know you are scared and need me beside you right now…"

"Then why?" She removed his hands while looking at him disappointedly, "Why are you prioritising this new job over us and our marriage?" 

"Sara…" He sighed, shutting his eyes. He wished to tell her the truth but helplessly just let go of that hard eagerness deep inside him.

He opened his eyes slowly and firmly said, "This is not true, Love. You know how much I adore you and our relationship. I'm going to Xing Corporation, not for my job duty."

"Then?" Her brows arched.

"I'm going there to find a solution for us." He answered shortly.

"Solution?" 

"What could you do, Gabby?"

 "You are not a powerful or A CEO." Her expression got blackened.

"I understand your worries. But we can't just sit here. I need to do everything in my strength to save our marriage and our baby." His hand touched her belly, "Do you understand."

Sara's body shuddered, and she bit her lower lips before finally nodding to him, "Alright, but please come back fast. If we lose this bet, we can just leave this place and Gil."

"Sara…" His eyes widened.

"Gabby, I don't care about money. All I need is you and my baby beside me. So, let's just leave if we lose this bet. Because there is no way I will do as you all wish. I'm human, not a puppet to whom anyone can play as they desire.'

His breath sucked heard her before he managed to smile sadly, "Sorry for making you go through all this. But I promise, we don't need to run away from anyone. We will win, and I will make sure about it."

His words worked like a charm on her, and she could not help but shed tears before hugging him tightly, "I love you, Gabby. Please never break my trust."

He circled his arms around her waist and kissed her forehead, "I love you too, Sara, and I swear to my soul, I will not lose you and our baby from anyone."

After a conversation, both of them walked out of their bedroom and approached the living room, where Mr. and Mrs. Gil were busy with their own talk, while Jose noticed them coming. 

Seeing Gaberial change in a suit made his expression sour, and the next second, he stood from his couch spot to stop them in the middle from going out. 

"Hey! Losser, are you already scared enough to run away even before the result is announced?" 

His tone turned sharp with insult as his eyes followed Gaberial from up to down like he saw something loathsome.   

Gaberial's eyes squatted with hostility over his words. Moreover, he started to find himself losing control every time looking at his piece-of-shit face. 

However, before he could return the answer, Sara strode in right enough from his bedside to take a stand for him. 

"JOSE, DON'T RIGHT NOW!" Her eyes filled with warning as she spoke loudly and sternly to her brother. 

Jose's brows lowered, and he bared his teeth before rudely jeering, "What the!" "I was just questioning where he is leaving when he is supposed to be here!" Pointing his finger on the bottom. 

However, Sara ignored her brother and gazed back at her husband, "You should leave now, Gabby, Or you are going to be late for office work." 

She answered Jose's question without even speaking to him. When Jose heard that, he sneered angrily and walked away from there.

Sara and Gaberial did not glance at him. 

Gaberial doesn't feel right leaving Sara alone in the house when her family are evil bastards, yet he needs to go for now. It's for their opportunity. He must win a bet, no matter what.

His concern made him touch her cheeks tenderly and kiss her forehead before muttering in a slow, tender voice, "Love, Don't stress yourself." "Just trust the process and me…"  

She exhaled her breath slowly and met his prominent gaze, "I know. You will never let us apart." 

Hearing her, his lips spread on a smile, and he plants a little kiss on her lips before bidding bye. 

He crossed a few streets before calling a driver who was waiting for him a few rows away. 

Soon, he phoned, and a luxurious car approached him. A driver walked out to greet him and open the back door for him.

Gaberial straightened his posture and nodded before moving inside the car's back seat and taking a seat. 

The driver shut the car door and moved back to his driver position.

"Sir, Where do you want to go?" Driver humbly interrogates.

Hearing him, he looked at the driver from the front mirror and ordered, "Take the car, Xing."

The driver nodded in understanding, "Alright, Sir."

The next moment, the car moved at speed, and his phone rang. He gazed at the phone, and it was from Xing Corporation. However, he ignored the call and decided to interrogate the company's staff. He wanted to know how they dared to ignore his order.
