~Timothy's POV~

I looked at my phone and tried to track Gabriela. I was at the Sullivan's Mansion attending their anniversary. The grand ballroom was already crowded. Men and women with masquerade masks were busy dancing and flirting while I was busy looking for the woman I love.

I need to find Gabriela. The last time I talked with her was when we had this argument about her wanting to reveal herself as Sullivan. I opposed her idea because it may put her life in danger but Gabriela was a stubborn woman. You cannot stop her if she already made up her mind. She was hard as a rock.

Damn it! I was hurt when she told me that she doesn't love me. It hit my weak spot. But, I know she was just trying to push me away because she was a worry for my safety. I know she loves me too, so I won't easily give up on her. I lost her once and I don't want to lose her twice. Even though she was a difficult woman that is hard to tame, I love her so much. 

I didn't know when this thing began. Maybe it started when we were just young. She was like a little sister to me back then. I was ten years old and she was seven when I first met her. She was crying under the tree while bending her knees while covering her eyes. She was a cute little girl so I went to her, playing like her knight in shining armour. I hushed her and tried to comfort her. From that day on we became best friends.

However, one day, she suddenly shut me down. I don't know what gotten to her but she just said that she don't want to be my best friend anymore. It hurt my ego and I hated her for doing that.

But the more I tried to hate her, the more I was drawn to her. She grew up to be a beautiful girl. Guys admired her when we were in high school but she was so prissy that made them hesitate to pursue her. I tried to forget her and ignore her presence. Unfortunately, I failed because every time I saw her I can't help myself to get lost and dream of her in my arms.

I guess absence makes the heart grow founder.

Then news broke that her father was killed and she was gone missing. I was devastated and I tried to find her. I even hired a detective but she was nowhere to be found. I had some sleepless nights thinking if she was fine. I was miserable and it was like I lost one of the important things in my life.

As years passed by, I learned to move on and forget her. I poured all my attention into my work. I kept myself busy and I lost interest in other women.

Not until I knew Bella Miller. It was like I found my missing piece again. She turned my world upside down and made me think of Gabriela again. There was a part of me hoping that she was her. As if God heard my prayers, I found out that she was her. I was extremely happy and I promised myself to never lose her again.

Nevertheless, history repeats itself. Gabriela pushed me out in her life again, but this time I won't allow that to happen. She cannot easily vanish me in her life, not after I found her again.

I know her plan in revealing herself as Gabriela Sullivan and I can say it was a foolish and risky one. I can't let her go through this alone. She needs me. Arturo Sullivan is the man you don't want to cross. Even though my father warned me not to mess with him, I won't hesitate to kill him if he hurt my woman.

I checked my phone again and I can see that Gabby was getting nearer. I must found her and stop her before she does her futile plan. It was good to know that she was wearing the necklace with the tracking device that I gave her. It only proves that she probably feels the same way as I do. If she does not, she would not wear that necklace. But for sure If she know I was tracking her, she will get furious. After all, she is a hot-tempered woman.
