Chapter 247 My Oath

247 My Oath

Veronica receive a call from Jason, she thought that it was early, but a ray of light was peeking from the heavy dark curtains in their room. She moaned and reach it.

"Yeah?" She answered sleepily.

"I want to say that it's an emergency."

"What?"

"I can't reach Gabby. Can you try reaching him for me or Tony can?"

"Damn it!" She groaned and smack Tony's arm. "Tony-babe! Wake up." Tony open his heavy eyelids.

"V, you hit so hard." He murmured.

"It's Jason—he want to talk to you." Tony took it and put it in his ear.

"We are still in bed…" Tony murmur. "What the hell is wrong?"

Veronica sat on him and move her ear close to the phone to eavesdrop.

"Well, it's about Hailey. She's got a stalker and this stalker have the gut to install lots of camera in her room and bathroom." Jason's voice sound so dangerous. Tony sat up.

"What?"

"I am now checking the CCTV footages, but the recorder is gone."

"Oh, shit!" Tony touch his forehead. "I will send someone to investigate."

"No need. I am doing it already. What I need is one of your people to hack something for me. Enzo probably don't have time for it." He murmured.

"Enzo is the best hacker." He said and reach Veronica's butt cheek and squeeze it. She smacked his chest. He winced and stop her hand from making another move to seduce him.

"Whatever—it seems like you don't care about Hailey, so I'll do it."

"You dumb ass!" Tony said.

"Then I guess Hailey took that after you." Jason said and hang up. The dumb ass word was Hailey's favorite pet name for him. Tony didn't understand what he was talking about, so he put the phone on the table and face his wife.

Tony look at his wife and cheek her face and body to see if she had bruises. She creased her brows a little.

"What do you feel?" He asked simply to check on her if she's feeling ill or something.

"I feel your hard thing." She said. He laughs and they both laugh at each other. Tony pinned her down and kisses her nose and lips. "So—I will help with Hailey's case—"

"No. I won't let you. Jason can do it." He said. "He has been in love with Hailey ever since high school."

"What?" Veronica look at him. Tony caress few strands of her hair.

"He was in love with her, but he doesn't want to admit because he treats her like a sister."

"So, they knew each other before—"

"Yup." He kisses her nose. "Let's make love first. We haven't tried few toys here." Sex toys are around, and she giggle getting aroused because of him.

It was a gloomy day and Sabrina enjoyed it as she sit by her window seat with Gabriel beside her. It was wide enough for them. Gabby was reading her an erotic novel just as she wanted. She clung into his arms like a koala and it's been an hour. But Gabriel wasn't tired, and it seemed like she's a permanent arm accessory.

"Let's go to bed." She said and pull him. He followed her and after coaxing her to sleep he call Anastasia.

"Can you handle it Mom?" He asked.

"I can handle it, son. Do not worry."

"I am worried." He said truthfully to her. "I don't want her to remember it all."

"I too want her to forget it but we can't control that. We can just be there for her."

Gabriel was wondering in the patio. He was in a deep thought then suddenly his phone rings and he answer it immediately.

"Good that you answered. I have been trying to reach you."

"What is it?"

"We need to talk in person. This is not just the 26 but also about your Hotel." Jason was using codes for him to understand. 26 or 10-26 means subject and Hotel was used for first letter of Hailey's name.

"I got it. We are having a family dinner. Bring my cousin."

"Noted." He hanged up and went upstairs to his wife. She was frowning at him. He smiled wide at her and patted her head. But still she is frowning.

"I thought we are sleeping together but you aren't with me!"

"My clingy koala, don't be mad, okay? I just talked to Jason about somethings." She pulled him and hug him tight and squeeze him.

"I want to squeeze you!" She said with grit. Oh, it was so adorable.

"You can squeeze me but not our baby, okay?" He said. She's been clingy these past few days. She kissed his face and pouted. He smiled and kiss her nose.

"I am still your first baby, right?" She asked. Gabriel laugh and hug his big baby.

"You are always my baby." He reached her stomach and bend down to kiss it.

"Gabby," She calls.

"Hmm?"

"What if I remember everything?" She suddenly asked. Gabriel was quiet as he looked deep into her scared eyes. "I feel so terrified to remember everything. My heart is squeezing hard that I don't know if I can ever survive this. It is slowly making me insane."

Hearing it from her, his heart broke. But there's nothing he could do but to be strong for her. For them and she must be strong for him and for their baby. It wasn't Anastasia's fault after all. It wasn't Ezekiel's fault as well.

"Hey." He murmured and kisses her nose.

"No one is going to hurt you. I won't let that happen. Okay? Whatever your past is—no matter how painful it is—you should be strong for me, for our baby, for your brothers for dad and for those who loved you.

"It's past but our mind never forgets. Sabrina, you survived it and I know no matter what—you will always survive because you are strong, and I am here just right behind you—to catch and ready to guard you anytime."

"Promise me, you would never leave me."

"It's my vow and my oath."
