Gabriel always found it funny when Lloyd and Christian would pity the shitty male lead of a movie each time the female lead cut ties with them, or when their relationship hit a road block.

But right now, as he felt Leonica's words hit him hard, Gabriel understood their pain, understood why they pitied the male lead. Because that's exactly how he was feeling.

"Everything I've said up until now is true. I'm done, Gabriel. We're over, and it's not a lie." Leonica stated as she stared him straight in the eyes, something he thought she'd never do and without any form of hesitation, ripped his hand off her wrist.

"I would have asked for you to respect my choice, but at this point, I'm certain that's impossible. You only care for yourself and your feelings and honestly," Leonica paused as she took a second to shake her head. "That's really disgusting, makes me question why I had fallen in love with you in the first place."

Without waiting for a response from him, Leonica walked out on him and Gabriel couldn't bring himself to follow her.

Her words had been so sharp and icy that it cut deep into not only his pride, but also his heart.

And the more he thought about them, the deeper the wounds cut.

He had known for quite a while that his actions were eventually going to blow up in his face, but he ignored the warning signs, persistent on having Leonica watched and reported back to him.

He felt In that way, he'd be able to protect her, keep her save from the dangers he had failed to notice the existence of in the past.

And as for his memories, well, it was exactly as Leonica said. He was a coward. Although he had gained back a great portion of his lost memories the day after Visiting Angelina at the prison, he chose to pretend, not wanting to lose what he had built up between he and Leonica under the false guise of amnesia.

A cowardly move, many would have called it, but what was to be expected of him the moment he received those horrible memories containing all the horrible things he had done to Leonica.

He detested who he had become. Hated how he gad blindly allowed Angelina string her along and more so, hated that he had even entertained the thought of never starting a family with Leonica.

Learning how horrible he had been in the past, he got afraid, fearing that the moment Leonica found out his memories were back, she'd distance herself and eventually leave him, just like she had just done.

Collapsing into one of the couches, he buried his face into his hand and his body trembled, shaking as his tears pooled in his eyes.

Of course he has to lose her, this was only Karma for all the despicable he had done.

The sound of the door opening caught his attention and he glanced up, only to see Billy standing there.

"Sir," He called, sounding hesitant as if he already knew what had happened. "I tried calling you, but you weren't picking."
