173 A visit from the old General
Sabrina woke up early to cook for her husband. This has become her daily routine now before she leave for work. Gabriel would wake up, do his workout routine and join her at the little breakfast. Sabrina purr on his topless body and scratch it lightly. She then kisses his neck and cheek.
"Good morning, my love." She greets.
"My wife is getting more beautiful each day." He wrapped his arms around her and kisses her cheek. "I am famished."
"I made it all for you, of course."
He sat down in front of the table, pull her small waist to make her sit on his lap. She then feed her and he feed her back. This simple gestures are big for each other.
Gabriel and Sabrina separated ways by going to work. She has started working on updating their Elite Red Room and Valentine promos with Ethan and Enzo. Their anniversary is near and New Year is just few days away. How can she give him a big surprise?
"How can this Red Room Valentine Promo be a big deal?" Enzo asked and wanted to sulk. He didn't have anyone to celebrate Valentine with but Versace.
"Well, it's where single girls would go." Sabrina said. "Besides, Valentines are more important than New Year—in our bar."
"She's right." Ethan said as he check all of the finances of the Elite Red Room. Enzo just complains.
Sabrina start thinking on what she should give to him on their anniversary. Baby? She can't get pregnant yet and she's still on her shots. Besides, they are about to reach the pinnacle of her plan. Once they are near to it, she can give him babies and they will both be happy with it. But seeing her brother Enzo makes her chest tightens.
Soon enough, she have to know who wants Catriona dead.
Her phone chimes and it indicates that Gabriel was calling. She answers it and smile sweetly.
"Yes, darling?"
"Where are you?"
"Uhh, I'm in a meeting with Enzo and Ethan. Why?"
"I am home, your grandpa is here." He said.
"Ohh-kay. That's odd." She said. "I'll be there with Enzo and Ethan." She hang up and gave them the biggest news.
They finish their meeting quickly and went to Gabriel's house the one he purchase and they found the two sitting on the big sofas in front of each other sipping some tea. She first kisses her husband lovingly and greet her grandpa as she sat beside Gabriel.
"What's up?" She asked and Enzo and Ethan ask the same thing as they follow their sister sitting beside her.
"Yeah, what's up?" Enzo and Ethan ask at the same time. Ezekiel frown at the three's casual approach.
"Am I your grandfather or your buddy?" He asked the three. The three of them lean on the sofa, relaxed.
"Both." They answer at the same time and grin at him. Ezekiel groan at the back of his throat. The triplets are adorable even though they are grown up.
"I mean, it's okay if you don't tell us that you are having a new love life." Enzo babble.
"What's wrong if I am dating someone? Am I that old not to date anymore?" Ezekiel asked with his strict voice.
"Yeah." They answer at the same time and Gabriel bit his tongue to avoid laughing.
"You rascals! How dare you!"
"But you look young grandpa." Sabrina said. "So who's the lucky woman?"
Ezekiel sipped on his tea and didn't answer her.
"Is she younger than Sabrina?" Enzo asked again. Sabrina frown. The three of them have the same age… Well they always regard her as a baby girl.
Ezekiel remain silent and Sabrina observe him more.
"Let's have dinner." Gabriel said as they all stood up. The butler already serve the dinner on the eighteen seater dining table and he pull a chair for Sabrina.
Ezekiel has been watching how Gabriel doted on Sabrina. Gabriel dote on her more than he does. He's an observant person and understand a man like Gabriel who was possessive—just the right amount and too doting toward his wife. He might not want babies to take all of Sabrina's time and attention. A man like Gabriel is all women's dream. His granddaughter is surely lucky that Gabriel loves her but would he betray her as well? He's still a human—a man after all.
"So, when are you going to plan for babies?" Ezekiel open up. Sabrina cough and wanted to smack something. Her grandfather told her not to have one yet but he's now asking.
"Anytime now. Whenever Sabrina wants." Gabriel rubbed her back and it goes back on her thigh and rubbed it gently to calm her.
"Hmm." Ezekiel starts eating and complimented the food.
Ezekiel talk to Sabrina in her own study room. He sat on her comfortable seat and took few papers as he flip it.
"So, why are you suddenly back in the country?" She asked.
"Well, I am just checking out few things here. To monitor your mission. Soon, that agent of yours."
"Veronica."
"Her name isn't Veronica." Ezekiel said. "You know its Vanessa."
"I do. Her name is Vanessa." The name sounds bitter on her tongue. Vanessa, Veronica already dispatch that name because she hated it. Veronica was the new person that she made herself.
"So you befriended the enemy's daughter?"
"Veronica is my friend. She's there to protect me and comfort me, when no one does. Even though she's the daughter of the enemy that doesn't mean that I have to hate her as well. It doesn't mean that I have to kill and torture her. She is just like me." Sabrina get a little emotional while saying this. Ezekiel hate all of the people that is connected to Francisco, especially the one that is connected to him through blood.
And those are Catriona and Veronica, her friends and are close to her heart.
"After all of these, you torture him and kill him, the same with his mistress… I don't want you to be close to them ever again." He said it like an order as he stood.
"You aren't in the position to tell me that." She said it strongly. She is stubborn. She's a Mondragon and an Alvarez, she can be as stubborn as him.
"Very well then." He left. Sabrina didn't want to argue with him anymore. All she can do is to protect those people who are close to her.
