Chapter 487: Traitor

Olivia’s eyes widened when she noticed Seb walking into the dining room, with his hair still plastered to his forehead. Meanwhile, Gabe followed him at a more sedate pace.

Looking at Gabe, Ian and Lucein broke into laughter again, while Demon commented, "You could have taken a bath at your place, Gabe. You were missing Seb so much that you planned this elaborate scheme just to play with him?"

Seb smirked while the others all laughed while Gabe simply narrowed his eyes," He is too cunning a ba*tard! I’m telling you, he is the one who needs to go there, not me."

Demon shrugged his shoulders at the words and peeled the boiled eggs in front of him, placing it in front of Nora who was digging into her churros happily," Have some protien at least." Nora grinned and ate a piece.

Meanwhile, Seb walked to Olivia with a playful grin and accused with a playful grin, "Good morning," Leaning down, he pressed a kiss to her sugary lips and continued, "Can you believe this traitor here threw me under the bus for a plate of churros?"

Olivia’s laughter bubbled forth at the accusation, her eyes twinkling with amusement as she shrugged nonchalantly and watched him lick off the sugar from his own lips. "Hey, those churros were too good to resist. Sorry not sorry," she teased, earning a mock glare from Seb and a grumble of agreement from Gabe who answered," Do you know how much I had to beg and bribe the chef at that place for him to make so many churros so early in the morning."

Nora giggled and raised a churro happily," I, for one support the begging you did! These are the best!"

" I second this notion. Ian, learn the begging technique from Gabe! These are good. You can bring them in the future."

Ian rolled his eyes and promised," I’ll beg and learn how to make them for you,my doll."

"And now I want to taste those ! Lucifer! The next time you come to Estania and those churros are not with you... I’ll tell the customs officers to not let you in!"

"I’ll bring the chef, Angel." Lucy promised into the phone as he munched on his own food, keeping the phone screen towards himself so that Evangeling was able to see everyone.

Gabe tched at all the love birds, and sighed," Come on ladies! Is this how you repay me for my begging? Can’t you try to convince your men to go there in my stead?"

Isabella and Nora shrugged together and answered simultaneously," Nope. Sorry! We can’t live without our men folk!"

Gabe shook his head and sighed, turning to look at Evangeline. She widened her eyes as Gabe appeared in front of the camera and quickly shook her head," How can you expect that of me? I didn’t even get the bribe and had to suffer with watching you all eat... Also, Lucifer told me that the internet signal there might be dodgy... We rarely get to talk as it is... Sorry..."

Gabe finally turned to Olivia helplessly who simply shrugged," Sorry, Bun in the oven.. Need the person responsible to be with me."

Gabe sighed and slouched onto the chair," Guess, I’ll have to go then. But this is not a good time..."

That sentence had everyone stop and look at him sharply. Shaking his head, he spoke reassuringly," Relax. It’s just a feeling. Elena has been especially quiet these days. I think she is planning something and that is why she is laying low."

Demetri nodded," Hmm. I noticed that too. She’s been transferring money to some off- shore account too. But you don’t worry about it. If she makes any movement, we’ll let you know. And Seb..."

Gabe nodded, resigned to his fate. So now, he was supposed to go to a small town and revamp the entire place because it was supposed to be turned into a tourist haven for the Frost hospitality sector... of course if the people were a bit hostile, he was supposed to handle that as well. As if he had any personnel experience...

"You guys need to be more careful. Olivia’s identity has been leaked. Soon, the press will be at your door questioning you about why you kept your marriage a secret."

Seb stiffened. There couldn’t be a worst time for this leak. "How did it get leaked? What do they know?

"Not much. Just that you are married and the person is your childhood sweetheart. It seems Detective Davis mentioned investigating the case and let slip..."

Seb’s jaw tightened! What was that detective’s problem? How could she let slip those details. Olivia also seemed to be thinking along on the same lines, as she asked carefully," Are you sure it was a slip and not something deliberate?"

"Oh, I thing it was definitely deliberate Olivia. We’ve got our men keeping an eye on her as well. But you need to be even more careful about whoever the person is."

Seb kicked the chair in frustration," Dam* it! I’ve already got the investigators looking for everyone who shares a past with me! How do I handle this?"

"Seb? Look for someone you rejected..." Gabe answered quietly. Somehow, this had a trace of Arabelle’s madness in it. She’d always believed that Demon belonged to her and the more he had rejected her, the more she had obsessed. Gabe sighed. He just hoped that this person who was sending the death notes was not someone as crazy as her. A little less level of crazy hopefully."

Olivia nodded," Yes. Why don’t you check from there. Maybe someone asked you to be with thme and you refused..."

"I’ll look into it." Seb sighed and looked around at the sombre mood on the table. With a sigh, he forced himself to smile and challenged," Alright, who wants to arm wrestle for the last two boxes of Churros? They are mine, unless one of you can defeat me!" As the girls all protested, he grinned and shrugged," Fine! Let your men try and wrestle the boxes for you! But beware, their hands might not be much useful for a few days! Those boxes are mine!"
