Gilbert was like Liam, young, handsome and very nice as well… The only difference was Gilbert was from a very rich family, the CEO of an enormous company unlike Liam whom she thought was only a small business unit owner.
It was a struggle for her because she loved Liam, but somehow she was feeling the same way also for Gilbert also.
Gilbert gave her a sense of security just like Liam, and he was quite possessive over her. She had started liking being with Gilbert, though she was in a relationship with Liam at the same time. She never thought she would come to the point of loving two men at the same time.
She tried to suppress her feelings for Gilbert since she knew it was not right because she was still in a relationship with Liam. But Gilbert pursued her, even after knowing she was still in a relationship. When Liam was gone for a long time for a trip to country D, she spent most of her time with Gilbert.
That time when Liam came back, he again proposed to her for marriage, but she had come to the point of confusion of her actual love that could last a lifetime with him. So she turned down Liam's proposal of marriage for the second time, saying she wanted space and time to think.
Liam was very much disappointed and asked her for reasons. So she told him everything he needed to know and honestly told him about her feelings for Gilbert.
Liam was taken aback by her replies and it took him a few moments before he believed her words, but yet he gave her enough time to sort her feelings out. During that time Liam kept a distance from her and on one side where he felt heartbroken, she still was not that broken and most of her days were still spent with Gilbert who never left her confused mind alone and still pursued her inconsistently.
Gale thought for a very long time. She analysed her life and realised she liked Liam, but her relationship with him was limited to sharing his point of views and his possessiveness for her. He was no doubt a good boyfriend, and he was very loyal and loving too, but her delicate heart was very much afraid of making him angry and didn't know how to stand his anger whenever she disobeyed him. His anger and stubbornness along with his rudeness was something that Gilbert gave medicine for.
Gilbert was not only head over heels in love with her but also cared about her opinions about each and everything she did. He started involving her in his business decisions and made her feel like his most important family ever since he proposed marriage to her. She had to admit one day that what she wanted in life was not only security and love from a person, but a complete involvement in his life as well. Something Liam was not able to give her the feelings of till now.
Then Gale's heart chose the gentle, sweet and charming Gilbert in the end. She would not be a hypocrite to say that she did not consider Gilbert's status as a factor at that point of time.
Liam thought she chose Gilbert merely because of the difference of his status with Gilbert's in her eye. He was so furious and Gale knew Liam hated her to the core for leaving him at the point where he had planned his life with her.
The last words she heard from Liam when she met him to give him a reply was, "Just do one thing… Make sure you don't have a miserable life, live well and happy."
And she confidently replied to him with, "I will live a happy life Liam so please make sure you do that too."
She and Gilbert became a couple officially, and when Gilbert proposed marriage to her, she happily accepted it. Gilbert was from the country D too, so she settled with him in this country. Here, she found everything she never had in life, unending love, luxury, a loving husband and a complete home with Gilbert.
Later, she found out about Liam's true identity and saw him on the news. She was really sorry for him and she hoped that Liam could find someone he deserved and be happy like her. Even if she found out about Liam's status before, Gale would still choose Gilbert over him for a few obvious reasons.
It was true, falling in love always started with emotions, but you always learned later whom you could grow those emotions with. Sometimes, love ends when you could not grow your emotions and start getting blocked in relationship matters. The love where you had the chance to grow in a sense of your emotional dependence mutually was probably the true genuine love.
Gilbert had registered their marriage as soon as she came to country D with him first before doing the wedding ceremony until Gale was ready to come in front of the public as his wife comfortably. She was happy with him for years and then he decided to do a wedding ceremony, saying he would want to give her a grand wedding and wanted to start a family with her, where he could proudly announce to the whole world that she was his wife.
But Gilbert was killed soon after their wedding ceremony. She was completely broken and was so devastated that she felt her world had crumbled without him.
She did not know how everything happened, but all she knew was that she was not the culprit. How could she kill the man she loved the most in her life, the man who gave her everything and a family, a complete life... for anything in this world?
Gale snapped back to the present and heaved a long-frustrated sigh with a sad smile on her lips before she met Liam's eyes. She could see pity in those eyes. He pitied her condition.
