Chapter 77: Don’t get fooled in love"It’s not like the way what you think, Casaio," said Zilia. The man inside tried to run away but Karmen was swift as he pinned him against the wall, restraining his wrists with the silver cuffs. "Agh... Let me go!" The man struggled against Karmen’s grip. Karmen took out the needle and injected the drug into the man’s neck, thus turning him unconscious. Bringing the phone to his ear, he called the team inside to take the man out. "Will you come willingly or should we drag you out?" Gabriel asked with a cold gaze at Zilia. "Casaio, why aren’t you speaking anything? Don’t you trust me?" Zilia took a step forward to reach Casaio. Dominick worriedly stared at his elder brother. Zilia had been fooling Casaio all this time. "Gabriel, let her go," Casaio said. He wryly laughed at his brother. "Don’t joke with me. Zilia is a spy and I have to arrest her, Casaio," Gabriel said. "Karmen, hand me the special cuffs," he ordered his beta, who was standing inside. Karmen walked to them and handed the cuffs to Gabriel. However, Casaio stood before Zilia. "I won’t allow for it. Leave her. I will do everything you want," he urged. "I don’t want anything from you," Gabriel said. "Now, get out of my way if you don’t wish to get arrested." Zilia knew this was the only chance to run away. But it was impossible when there was hardly any gap to slip away. Casaio clenched his fists when Gabriel pushed him away. He took the cuffs from Karmen and locked Zilia’s wrists in them. "You entered a wrong territory, Zilia. I have my eyes everywhere in San Ravendale," he pronounced with a smirk. "Cas!" Zilia attempted to plead with him. "There’s no use to beg him," Gabriel said when Karmen injected the same sleep-inducing drug into her neck. Once Zilia was unconscious, she was taken out along with the man, who was present inside the hotel. "It was a good hunt, wasn’t it, Brother Casaio?" Gabriel arched his brow. "She’s still my mate. You could have..." "Cas, you can’t possibly tell Gabriel to let go of a spy," Dominick spoke this time. "I understand your love for her, but don’t be blind because of it."

It will hurt you more when you know the cruel plans Zilia had knitted for us, for you." Gabriel didn’t reveal much and went ahead of them. "Were you aware of that?" Dominick looked at his brother for the answer. "I only found out yesterday," Casaio answered. ’But why she came here and how did Gabriel find out about her? He again kept it from me,’ he thought, feeling hurt. ~~~~~ "Mom, Dad, where are you going?" Flora asked, her brows furrowed as she watched one of the house staff wheel a trolley bag toward the entrance. "We’re heading to San Ravendale to visit Amelie," Samyra replied calmly, adjusting the scarf around her neck. "San Ravendale?" Flora echoed in disbelief, turning to her mother with wide eyes. "Why now? My wedding is in just three days! Aren’t you worried about the preparations here?" "We will return before that," David replied. "We need to see your sister and apologize to her." "What about me? Does my happiness not matter even a bit?" Flora queried with a hurtful gaze at them. "You destroyed your own sister’s life," Samyra commented. "I have nothing much to say because we are going to be late," she said and walked out of Flora’s sight. David patted his second daughter’s arm and walked after his wife. "Why are they suddenly so concerned for Amelie? She ruined my future too and my parents can’t even see it. Everyone is seeing me as the villain. When Amelie couldn’t provide Alex what he needed, how it is my fault. No one is seeing that how Amelie seduced another man right after getting rejected," Flora chuckled and slumped to the couch. Looking at her phone, she decided to call Alex and ask him how he was doing. ~~~~~ "Amelie ruined everything for me," Alex muttered bitterly, leaning back in the office chair, his eyes clouded with frustration. "Why did she have to go find Gabriel? Why did she have to drag him back and destroy my life? Now even my own parents look at me like I’m nothing but a disappointment." Zander stood nearby with his arms crossed. "That night, I told you not to go after her, not to kill her. None of this would be happening if you’d just listened." His voice was calm, but firm. "You always act in the heat of the moment. When you started meeting Amelie in secret and kept it from everyone, I warned you then too. I told you not to lie to yourself, let alone to her. Karma doesn’t forget, Alex." Alex sighed and ran a hand over his face. "Yeah, I get it. No need for another lecture," he murmured, closing his eyes. "You could’ve offered a few words of comfort instead, you know." The phone on his desk buzzed again. "You should answer that," Zander said. "It’s probably Flora," Alex replied without opening his eyes. Zander smirked as he picked up the file he’d brought in. "Isn’t she your mate? You made your choice, remember?" With that, he turned and walked out, leaving Alex alone. Alex answered the call and brought it to his ear., pinching the brows between his brows, he said, "What happened, Flora? If I’m not answering the call that means I am busy. Can’t you get it?" "Why are you getting angry at me?" Flora spoke finally from the other side. "I called you because my parents have gone to see my sister, Amelie, to San Ravendale," she informed. Alex lowered his hand and frowned in worry. "Why?" "They want to apologize to her for what I did to her," Flora said while rolling her eyes. "Tell me something, Alex. What if she gives birth to the pup she’s carrying? Will you go back to her?" she questioned.
