The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz

"Where are we?" Isabella asks Gabriel as soon as they step out of the car. After Doc Fabian process their discharge slip, Gabriel said that they will need to go on a safer place. And she is expecting that they will go on a secluded place or away from the city or something

like that but on the contrary, the place is just a few minutes' drive to the city.

"This is my house." Gabriel said, "You don't have to worry about anything else because I will provide it for the mean time." He added.

"Thank you so much." Isabella said. "You don't have to do all of this since in reality, you don't even have anything to do with all of these mess."

"Well, the moment Tyron asked me for a favor, I already had a hunch that I will involve myself into a mess." Gabriel shrugs.

"But you're putting yourself into danger..." Isabella said, worried that the more people involved in their family feud, the messier and bloodier it will be.

"That's part of my job... danger, that is." Gabriel said as if he is already used to it. "What is more important now is your safety, I can't bear it if Tyron will suddenly appear in front of me and smack me if something bad happens to you."

"By the way, my in-laws, how about them?" She suddenly remembers. "They are surely in danger as they are close to Uncle Fred."

"Don't worry..." Gabriel said as he stares at the black van approaching them. "I already took care of it." He said and the van stops in front of them.

"Are they " Isabella gasps when Ivy, her mother-in-law comes out from the van. "Ma..." she called out, not sure what to do. She tried calling her in-law before her dischargement but she didn't pick up.

"Isabella..." Ivy hugs her as soon as she saw her. "This whole thing is driving me crazy." She added as she burst into tears making her cry. "I can't believe that I lost my son the same thing that I lost my husband."

"I... I'm sorry, ma, I should've stopped Gabriel from leaving the hospital. I should have trusted my instincts." Isabella said.

"It is not your fault, sweetie." Ivy said as she held her hand. "It's Fred's fault." She said with great intensity of anger and betrayal. Her whole body is trembling. "How could he face us and act like he's innocent?" "Ma..."

"Auntie Bella!" Michael and Michelle shouted in joy when they saw her as soon as they got out of the car.

"Did you bring chocolates, Auntie?" Michelle innocently asks. She's quite confused with the twins behavior.

"Is Uncle Tyron with you?" Michael asks. "I miss him already. He told me that he will come and visit to play with us but he never did." He added.

Isabella looks at her mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

"We didn't told them yet..." Maja said. "We cannot tell them the truth..."

"I see..." She tearfully said as she looks at the twins. "Your Uncle Tyron is in vacation as of the moment, so we can't be with him." She said and held the twin's hands. "But your Uncle Tyron said that he will be with you and play with you again when the time comes... and he said that he loves you two so much."

"We love Uncle Tyron too." The twins said in unison, making her smile. How she wished that Tyron is here to hear those. "But why are you crying, Auntie?" Michelle asks, tearing up. "Are you hurt?" She added, worriedly.

"No, I'm not crying because I'm hurt... I'm crying because your Uncle Tyron is blessed to had niece and nephew like you." Isabella forces a smile.

"Don Samuel..." Ivy said as soon as she saw the old Don. "It is good to see you again..." Ivy said hesitantly.

"It is good to see you too, Ivy." The Don politely said there is awkwardness in the air. Isabella is sure that the last time they saw each other is during the wedding.

"Now that you are all here, let us go inside." Gabriel said, breaking the tension. "For now, you will stay here to ensure your safety. The things you need will be provided and you don't have to worry about the housekeepers as they work under my command... and about the companies, our friends volunteered to handle it for the meantime while we are sorting this case." Gabriel said when they settled inside.

"What do you mean, Mister Zamora?" Miguel asks, frowning and there's a doubt in his tone. "Are you saying that I should leave the company to total strangers? Especially now that my brother is dead, stockholders will surely hold an emergency meeting." "You don't have to worry, Miguel, the friends I'm referring to are well known businessmen and also, they are friends with Tyron." Gabriel said.

"By friends, you mean, Joshua and the others?" Isabella asks.

"Yes, those crazy men will run the companies for the meantime." Gabriel said. "We cannot determine Miguel's safety if we let him handle the company. You don't have to worry because Joshua, Rafael and the others know how-"

"I get your point but if you're talking about Joshua Levine and Rafael Anderson, I know how ruthless they are in terms of business." Miguel said.

"don't worry, this is what your brother wants." Gabriel said.

"what do you mean?" Miguel frowns. "How would you know that this is what he wants?"

Gabriel was taken aback. "Before he leaves my office, he said that if something happens to him, and your uncle is still not caught, those jerks, I mean, Joshua and the others will handle his companies for the mean time." Gabriel explains. "Miguel, let's just listen to them for the time being." Maja said grabbing her husband's hands.

"But..."

"I understand." Isabella butted.

"Isabella, even you?" Miguel uttered in disbelief.

"If Tyron really said that then I will honour it as his wife." Isabella said. "They are Tyron's friends and he trusts them with his life." She added.

"Fine. If Tyron trust them then I can't do much about it." Miguel sighs. He clearly loves and cares for his brother.

"Thank you." Gabriel said. "For the meantime, this will be your home, and I hope you surrendered your phone to my agents so that Frederick will not trace your whereabouts."

"We did." Maja said and Gabriel nods.

"Until when will we stay here?" Don Samuel asks.

"Until I put Fred behind bars. We can easily apprehend him now but the evidences against his crimes are still weak, and he is involved in drugs. He is using the old warehouse of the Cruz Enterprises as his drug den." "Drugs?" Miguel exclaims. "Tyron doesn't know anything about this, we didn't know that Uncle Fred is in drugs."

"I really don't want to break this to you because you see him as a father but he is one of the drug lords being targeted by the police. There are insufficient evidences against him that is why he's still on loose." Gabriel said firmly. "But with the evidences you have, you can already apprehend him now, right?" Isabella asks.

"Yes, but not now, in a week's time, they will hold a big exchange with another syndicate and we will grab that chance to corner them." Gabriel explains. "And you don't have to worry about Tyron being link to your Uncle's wrong doing. I know very well that he has nothing to do with it." He adds as he glances over Miguel.

"Thank you. My brother is all that is left with us, and with his sudden death, I don't want to taint his name." Miguel said.

"Even if you don't say it, I know that he has nothing to do with it." Gabriel said and checks his watch. "Well, if you need anything, just give me a call or ask Helen."

Helen is the head of the maids, but Isabella knows that she and the maids are something else.

"Don Samuel..." Ivy called out hesitantly. They are all gathered in the living room-the twins are playing in the middle of the room.

"Yes?" The Don asks, "Is there a problem?" he asks, worried.

"I...The thing is..." Ivy stuttered, nervous and hesitant if she can talk to the Don about the past.

"Calm yourself, Ivy, if you can't say it now, you can do it later, besides, we will be living under the same house for days." The Don kindly said.

"Grandpa, are you tired? Maybe you should rest first." Isabella butted in, worried that her grandfather is tired and she's trying to relieve the awkwardness in the air.

And it seems that the old Don realized what she's trying to do.

"I guess, I need to take a little nap." The Don said and caresses Isabella's cheeks. "You also need to take a rest." He added.

"Don't worry about me grandpa, I can still manage." She said as she grabs the Don's hands. "I will accompany you to your room."

"You don't have to, Bella." The Don said. "Leon is here to take care of me." Leon is the nurse that Gabriel provided. "You stay here and talk to your in-laws. And tell me if Ricardo called you." He added with worry at the mention of Ricardo's name.

After the news of Tyron's death, Ricardo cannot be contacted, but Isabella believes that he has nothing to do with the explosion. Ricardo is loyal to Don Samuel and has always been there when she needs help.

"Okay, grandpa, rest well." Isabella smiles and place a kiss on the Don's cheeks.

Isabella faces her in-laws as soon as the Don settles in his room. "Ma..." She called out to Ivy.

"It's okay, Bella. After all these years, I don't know how to face your grandfather." Ivy bitterly smiles.

"I know how you feel, ma." She said and Ivy looks at her with confusion. "I also didn't see him for how many years, I only saw him because of my sudden marriage to Tyron."

"But I thought..."

Isabella bitterly smiles.

"The truth is, Tyron and I didn't marry for love." Isabella said. "We got married because of my grandfather. He used my imaginary debt to threaten me that is why I agreed to what he wants... and Tyron married me so that he can get the Morgan Industries." Isabella explains.

"Oh my gosh!" Ivy exclaims. "How could you two hid that from us?"

"Tyron doesn't want to burden you and Miguel..."

"Oh no! he should have still told us about it." Ivy said as she grabs her hand. "I am so sorry Isabella, if only I told Tyron the truth earlier, both of you will not be tied on a loveless marriage."

"It's okay, ma, Tyron treats me well and I come to love him and in fact..." Isabella slightly bit her lips to restrain herself from crying. "The truth is, I am pregnant with his child." She broke the news making Ivy, Miguel and his wife, Maja surprise. "And the only thing I regret is that I didn't tell him how I feel and about my pregnancy."

"Oh my gosh!" Maja exclaims. "I don't know if I should congratulate you or what..."

"I understand, Maja, I am also having mixed emotions. The truth is, when I read the article that Tyron is gone, I also wanted to follow him, but then I remembered our unborn child." Isabella said as she caresses her stomach.00000
