THE HIGH PRIEST CHAMBER
An eerie silence enveloped the chamber as the four of them remained seated and silently lost in their own thoughts.
Roose was fuming inside as Sirena left him alone with these bastards when she felt a strong presence again.
Roose looked at Vulcan and threw him a fake smile while the latter just ignored it.
"RUDE BASTARD!! Roose cursed him in his head while still smiling at Vulcan.
Gabriel and Neo raised their brows at the old priest's smile. They were damn sure that this priest cursed Vulcan just now in his mind.
The silence in the room took a break when Gabriel's phone buzzed and Neo felt his heart skip several beats listening to his brother's phone buzzing. Ignoring their gazes, Gabriel went out to answer the call.
---------
"Hmm. Speak!" Gabriel said as soon as he came out of the chamber.
" Yes, Sir! Your guess was correct. It was your rumored fiance who spread the news about your fake engagement. And someone from the inside helped her misleadingly capture your photos. We checked all the security cameras and found out it was Neo sir who took your photos. And we are still looking for other details." the person on the other side explained politely.
"Alright! Continue looking into it!" Gabriel said in a calm voice and ended the call. He then walked back to the chamber and opened it with force. He looked into the chamber, only to find that Neo is nowhere to be seen.
"Where is he? " He turned to Vulcan and asked calmly but his eyes completely betrayed his emotions.
Vulcan raised his brows seeing the rage in Gabriel's eyes and answered " He went out just a minute ago."
Gabriel said nothing and left the chamber leaving the priest and Vulcan to enjoy themselves with their strange stares.
---------------------------
Sedna is still enjoying the view before her when she felt a warm force enter her body. She was surprised and turned her head to look at Cara when she saw a beautiful lady in white clothes walking towards them.
Sirena smiled at them and said " Hello! Welcome to the ceremony. Roose told me about you guys. Please come with me. I will take you guys to the chamber. You can rest for a while. There is still time for the ceremony."
Cara nodded her head with a smile and started following Sirena when suddenly a man dashed with Cara and fell.
"AH!! Damnit! Neo cursed and raised his head. His eyes widened in shock as he recognized Cara and he gulped in fear. What the hell is happening!! Is fate playing with him right now?? His brother might be here anytime and there is no way he will stay alive if his brother managed to catch him now.
Sirena just smiled in her mind with excitement as the fun is about to begin but her face remained neutral as she continued watching the drama unfolding before her.
"Neo??" Cara called him with a frown when she saw his face clearly"What are you doing here?" she continued questioning him while Neo just answered with an awkward smile.
Sedna looked at both of them and opened her mouth to ask something when suddenly a voice spoke startling all of them except Sirena. "Stop right there Neo! " the voice sounded so cold that all of them (again except Sirena) shivered at its coldness and Cara stiffened feeling her heart drop as she recognized the voice.
Yes! She could recognize it, even without turning back and looking at his face! How can she forget that voice, that voice, that she loved to death?
NO! NO! It shouldn't be like this! I can't see him! Cara thought in her mind frantically and tried to walk away without turning her back when suddenly someone grabbed her shoulder from behind and spun her around making her face him.
Tears started flowing from her eyes unknowingly when she felt his touch but she remained stubborn and looked down refusing to look at him.
She heard him sigh and felt his cold fingers grab her chin softly. He lifted her chin, making her look at him.
Through the tears in her eyes, she saw his haunting ash gray eyes. Those ash gray eyes kept haunting her even in his absence. His eyes which were always cold are now looking at her warmly with strange helplessness and heartache as he wiped her tears softly with his cold fingers.
And when she saw those eyes, looking at her so warmly, something snapped in her mind and she found herself falling into his embrace, hugging him tight and crying her heart out.
Cara felt so embarrassed at that moment but she didn't care anymore. She missed him way too much and now when he finally appeared before her, she couldn't control anymore.
Cara cried for some time hugging him and when she thought of how he hugged his fiance in those photos, she loosened her hug and tried to get away from him. But this brute didn't let go and instead hugged her even tight.
" Let go! Gabriel! You Bastard! How dare you hug me! Don't you have a wife? Go and hug her! You cheater!! " Cara shouted and started hitting him on his back with her fists while Gabriel just ignored her tantrums and hugged her even tight. Only he knew how happy he was when he spotted her with Neo a while ago.
------------------------------------------
A while ago...
After finding out that his brother was the one who took those photos, Gabriel wanted to drag that brat out and give him a good beating. "So, this was the second mistake that he was talking about." Gabriel mused and started walking towards the chamber to find Neo, but apparently, that brat ran away as soon as he stepped out to answer the call.
Gabriel started looking around after coming out of the chamber from where Neo escaped. He took out his phone and called Felix, the head bodyguard, and instructed him to find out where Neo is. "Search him!! Quick!!" Gabriel said and ended the call and started searching for that brat himself.
After searching for half a minute, he spotted Neo hiding and running away from the bodyguards.
He started walking toward Neo when suddenly that brat crashed into a woman and fell down.
Gabriel increased the speed to reach him quickly and catch him before he could escape when suddenly his steps halted as he heard her voice. The voice of the woman with whom Neo has crashed just now.
Gabriel was only a few steps away from them so, he could hear her voice clearly. He could recognize her even without looking at her face.
That damned woman!! She has been avoiding him and hiding from him these days that nearly drove him crazy.
Gabriel glared at Neo and coldly warned him to stop. He knew that she recognized him with just his voice when he visibly felt her stiffen.
He also sensed her thought to walk away from there, so he quickly walked to her and grabbed her shoulder from behind, preventing her from leaving from there.
And when he finally turned her to face him, Gabriel's heart, felt a soft tug, looking at that crystal-like tears flowing from her beautiful eyes.
