like that of the devil's

With the room once again falling into silence, Gabriel was left with his thoughts. They slowly began to spiral, picking up from where it had been left off minutes ago, cursing and blaming himself for the current situation.

At some point, he felt like laughing at his very on stupidity. Leonica had seen through the witch's trae color, heck, even a whole Megan, someone who wasn't as involved in him and Leonica's life as Anastasia, had seen through her facade, Thinking back to the annual banquet, Gabriel seerned to now understand the reason why Mirgan had referred to Angelina the way she did. And along with that thought, came a sudden question.

Had Angelina always been this evil? Was that the reason why Grandmother had been against him marrying her? Was she the one who caused the complication to grandmother's life support that day, as a way to take out the obstacle standing in her path? Gabriel gritted his teeth at the cruel possibilities.

'... Gabriel!" The sound of Leonica's voice once again snapped him out of this thoughts. "Jesus, I know your tensed about the situation right now, but can you please not ignore me."

But he wasn't ignoring her. "I'm sorry," He said, not bothering to explain the reason behind his silence.

Leonica seemed to discard his apology as quickly as it come. "That aside," She began and Gabriel knew exactly where she was heading. He injected before she could continue

"I'm not going to send the location to you once Angelina sends it, so it's better you get your mind off it

"What?" Her voice questioned sharply.

"I'm not sending it to you, Leonica." Gabriel repeated. Be angry at me for as long as you want, but I'd much rather take that than putting your life in danger

"My son's life is in danger God dammit, why the hell should I care about my life being in danger."

"Because that's the rational thing you should do," Gabriel said as he glanced back at his phone, expecting a text message to pop up on his screen. When he saw nothing, he began wondering if Angelina had changed her mind, perhaps returned from the cocaine frenzy. Nah, that was too much of a dream and as bad as he had come to learn Angelina was, she never did drugs. Her mental health already seemed far too shaky

for that

"Look, Leonica," He started in a calmer tone, walking towards his study window and looking outside for some reason. "I'm not going to put you in danger."

"... And you think I want to put you in danger?" Came her hesitant answer. "Please stop being stubborn and give me the God dan location"

"I can't do that. Gabriel shook his head.
