Capítulo 401: Too Late

Gael stopped at a red light, his mind still plagued with the thoughts of Angela leaving a few hours ago. He had been tempted ever since to call her, but what more could he say? She was clear. She didn't want anything to do with him as long as he was still engaged to another woman—even if his heart was with her the whole time.

He understood her, though. It was unfair for Angela to stay while his family was in chaos. If the roles were reversed, he didn't think he would even be able to sit still knowing she was betrothed to another man. If his father's plan goes well, he and Gabby will be free. But that would still be just a small breather before they would end the Morellis. At least, by then, the council would no longer be breathing down their necks.
