AN: guys please bear with me over the next few weeks I'm on a well needed vacation in California and have limited signal and WiFi. So please take into consideration that I have a life outside of Wattpad when demanding updates, thank you❤️

GABRIEL DALTON

✥

I don't remember the journey home. I don't remember taking my phone and calling Zane to tell him everything that just happened. Poppy might have stabbed me in the back but I have no idea what Rexx's true intentions are and how he could have possibly fucked with Dark Suite or what information Poppy fed him.

Zane curses on the phone yet I'm literally seeing blurry images as I drive home, fuelled with anger that I don't know what to do with. Blood roars in my ears to the point that it aches, so I grit my jaw which makes bones crack.

To think she spent nights in my bed and then went home to that monster to tell him everything he desired. She fucking played me and I didn't even batt an eyelid at her suspicious side.

Fuck. I already know Lonzo is about to rub this in my face but not at the expense of his empire. For all I know, Rexx could be planning something for him too and I'm about to get my ass beaten for being naive and not listening to him.

As soon as I get home I take my keys out of the ignition and run inside. Lonzo was home when I left and said he'd be working in his office until late. I burst through the door to find my sister in the kitchen, she smiles at me but I barely spare her a look. "Hey–" she cuts herself off when I start hurdling upstairs. "What's wrong?"

Her voice echoes below me as I reach the top floor and press my hand down onto Lonzo's office, not caring if I'm interrupting. This is much more important than anything else and he'll have to hate me for it.

Lonzo looks up from his laptop and desk, seeming alarmed by my entrance. "Gabriel?"

"Poppy, she's been working for someone."

His brows crease. "What are you talking about?"

"You were right!" My voice booms across his office in a rough declaration. "S-She's been gathering information on me this entire time and she's been working for this guy called Rexx. I don't know what they found out, if they're planning on doing anything but we need to take him the fuck down before he does something to us."

Lonzo stares back at me for a long moment. "Mio dio, Gabriel," he grumbles. "I fucking told you from the start! I knew there was something wrong with that girl and you didn't want to fucking listen. And now this? Merda. Merda!"

I clutch my jaw together. "You can fucking kill me however you like," I state as my fists ball at my sides. "But right now we need to get rid of that asshole before something happens. I know I fucked up and I need to put it right. I need your men and we need to get it done now before it's too late."

The door creaks behind me and I whip my head to find Alexia stepping inside. "Poppy's been a spy this whole time?"

My throat clenches when I see the sadness behind her dark eyes. "Yes."

"What?" She blinks then furrows her brows. "No. No. There is no way."

Lonzo walks around his desk. "Alexia, stay here with the guards," he orders. "We need to sort out Gabriel's mess."

The sneer in his voice is purposeful. I choose to ignore it for now, I'll gladly take a thrashing later but right now we have other priorities. Lonzo is already on his phone as he walks out of his office, most likely ordering his men to get into position for when we need them.
