The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz novel Chapter 27

“Where are we?” Isabella asks Gabriel as soon as they step out of the car. After Doc Fabian process their discharge slip, Gabriel said that they will need to go on a safer place. And she is expecting that they will go on a secluded place or away from the city or something like that but on the contrary, the place is just a few minutes’ drive to the city.

“This is my house.” Gabriel said, “You don’t have to worry about anything else because I will provide it for the mean time.” He added.

“Thank you so much.” Isabella said. “You don’t have to do all of this since in reality, you don’t even have anything to do with all of these mess.”

“Well, the moment Tyron asked me for a favor, I already had a hunch that I will involve myself into a mess.” Gabriel shrugs.

“But you’re putting yourself into danger…” Isabella said, worried that the more people involved in their family feud, the messier and bloodier it will be.

“That’s part of my job… danger, that is.” Gabriel said as if he is already used to it. “What is more important now is your safety, I can’t bear it if Tyron will suddenly appear in front of me and smack me if something bad happens to you.”

“By the way, my in-laws, how about them?” She suddenly remembers. “They are surely in danger as they are close to Uncle Fred.”

“Don’t worry…” Gabriel said as he stares at the black van approaching them. “I already took care of it.” He said and the van stops in front of them.

“Are they—” Isabella gasps when Ivy, her mother-in-law comes out from the van. “Ma…” she called out, not sure what to do. She tried calling her in-law before her dischargement but she didn’t pick up.

“Isabella…” Ivy hugs her as soon as she saw her. “This whole thing is driving me crazy.” She added as she burst into tears making her cry. “I can’t believe that I lost my son the same thing that I lost my husband.”

“I… I’m sorry, ma, I should’ve stopped Gabriel from leaving the hospital. I should have trusted my instincts.” Isabella said.

“It is not your fault, sweetie.” Ivy said as she held her hand. “It’s Fred’s fault.” She said with great intensity of anger and betrayal. Her whole body is trembling. “How could he face us and act like he’s innocent?”

“Ma…”

“Auntie Bella!” Michael and Michelle shouted in joy when they saw her as soon as they got out of the car.

“Did you bring chocolates, Auntie?” Michelle innocently asks. She’s quite confused with the twins behavior.

“Is Uncle Tyron with you?” Michael asks. “I miss him already. He told me that he will come and visit to play with us but he never did.” He added.

Isabella looks at her mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

“We didn’t told them yet…” Maja said. “We cannot tell them the truth…”

“I see…” She tearfully said as she looks at the twins. “Your Uncle Tyron is in vacation as of the moment, so we can’t be with him.” She said and held the twin’s hands. “But your Uncle Tyron said that he will be with you and play with you again when the time comes… and he said that he loves you two so much.”

“We love Uncle Tyron too.” The twins said in unison, making her smile. How she wished that Tyron is here to hear those. “But why are you crying, Auntie?” Michelle asks, tearing up. “Are you hurt?” She added, worriedly.

“No, I’m not crying because I’m hurt… I’m crying because your Uncle Tyron is blessed to had niece and nephew like you.” Isabella forces a smile.

“Don Samuel…” Ivy said as soon as she saw the old Don. “It is good to see you again…” Ivy said hesitantly.

“It is good to see you too, Ivy.” The Don politely said—there is awkwardness in the air. Isabella is sure that the last time they saw each other is during the wedding.

“Now that you are all here, let us go inside.” Gabriel said, breaking the tension. “For now, you will stay here to ensure your safety. The things you need will be provided and you don’t have to worry about the housekeepers as they work under my command… and about the companies, our friends volunteered to handle it for the meantime while we are sorting this case.” Gabriel said when they settled inside.

“What do you mean, Mister Zamora?” Miguel asks, frowning and there’s a doubt in his tone. “Are you saying that I should leave the company to total strangers? Especially now that my brother is dead, stockholders will surely hold an emergency meeting.”

“You don’t have to worry, Miguel, the friends I’m referring to are well known businessmen and also, they are friends with Tyron.” Gabriel said.

“By friends, you mean, Joshua and the others?” Isabella asks.

“Yes, those crazy men will run the companies for the meantime.” Gabriel said. “We cannot determine Miguel’s safety if we let him handle the company. You don’t have to worry because Joshua, Rafael and the others know how—”

“I get your point but if you’re talking about Joshua Levine and Rafael Anderson, I know how ruthless they are in terms of business.” Miguel said.

“don’t worry, this is what your brother wants.” Gabriel said.

“what do you mean?” Miguel frowns. “How would you know that this is what he wants?”

Gabriel was taken aback. “Before he leaves my office, he said that if something happens to him, and your uncle is still not caught, those jerks, I mean, Joshua and the others will handle his companies for the mean time.” Gabriel explains.

“Miguel, let’s just listen to them for the time being.” Maja said grabbing her husband’s hands.

“But…”

“I understand.” Isabella butted.

“Isabella, even you?” Miguel uttered in disbelief.
