Falling For My Ex's Dad (Clarissa and Gabriel) novel Chapter 101

Clairessa’s POV 

Chapter 101:1 Hnd My Revenge Now I’m Done 

“Say you’ll never leave me…” Gabriel’s husky voice demanded, his lips tormenting me with wet kisses. 

*..* 

I opened my mouth to respond, but before the words could leave my lips, a loud, insistent banging shattered the moment. 

I forced my eyes open, my lashes fluttering as I tried to adjust to reality. 

My hand instinctively reached for Gabriel’s side of the bed–but it was empty. 

Cold sheets. 

I blinked, my senses catching up. 

And then it hit me. 

It was a dream. 

Gabriel wasn’t here.

Chapter 101: I Had My Revenge Now I’m Done 

I let out a quiet groan, rubbing my eyes as I slowly sat up. A dull ache settled in my limbs, a reminder of 

last night. 

A frown tugged at my lips as I glanced around the room. 

No sign of Gabriel. 

Had he gone to the balcony? Maybe the bathroom? 

I was about to call out for him when the knocking came again, firmer this time, pulling me from the fog of 

sleep. 

With a heavy sigh, I threw the sheets off me and stood. My body felt exhausted in places I hadn’t even realized could be sore. 

Glancing down, I realized I was naked. I grabbed the sheet, wrapping it around me as I made my way to 

the door. 

I pulled it open, expecting him. 

Needing it to be him. 

But it wasn’t. 

Brenda, the island manager, stood there. 

“Hello, Miss Clairessa!” Brenda’s voice was cheerful–almost too bright for how I felt.

I stared at her for a moment, my brain still foggy, still catching up 

“Brenda. My voice was low, heavy with sleep. 

Her gaze trailed over me, lingering a second too long on my neck before she quickly looked away. 

Something in her expression shifted. 

Flustered. 

Amused. 

Embarrassed. 

I stepped aside, silently letting her in, too drained to question whatever had just crossed her mind. 

I moved toward the sofa, lowering myself onto the cushions with more effort than I cared to admit. 

Brenda cleared her throat. “It’s clear I woke you,” she murmured, a touch of guilt in her tone. “That wasn’t my intention.” 

I waved a hand dismissively, rubbing my temples. “It’s fine.” 

But her eyes kept studying me, her lips pressed tightly together, as if she were holding back a comment.

“Brenda…” I called out, but she seemed lost, just staring at me 

“Miss Clairessa,” she finally answered before letting out a small laugh. “You seam to have had quite an eventful night.” 

Heat crept up my cheeks. 

Her words weren’t meant to be intrusive, but something about them made my skin warm. 

“You could say that,” I muttered, shifting under her gaze. 

“I’m guessing you’re here this early because…?” 

“It’s actually already noon,” she cut in. 

My eyes widened in shock. “I slept that late? It’s already noon?” 

Brenda’s smile lingered, but then she straightened, her posture turning more formal. 

“You slept in quite a bit,” she replied. “And I dislike having to disturb your rest, but your flight is scheduled to leave soon.” 

I ran a hand through my tangled hair, my mind spinning. “What do you mean, my flight? I don’t understand.” 

Brenda’s expression shifted. “Oh… Mr. Storm must have forgotten to inform you.”

A bad feeling crept into my chest. “Inform me about what? My voice shook slightly as I tried to make sense of what she was telling me 

“And speaking of Gabriel, have you seen him? I checked, and he’s not here” 

Brenda’s smile completely faded. “Well, Mr. Storm had an emergency meeting, so he had to leave,” she admitted, her tone cautious. “He asked me to assist you with packing and anything else you might need” 

A cold wave crashed over me. 

“What?” My voice barely came out. “Is this some kind of joke? Gabriel left? Back to Miami?” 

My hands trembled as I pushed myself up from the sofa. 

The room suddenly felt too small, too suffocating. 

This had to be a joke. 

Gabriel wouldn’t just leave me here. 

Not after everything. 

Not after last night. 

I needed proof.

I pushed past Brenda, my movements frantic as I searched the villa, opening doors, checking rooms. 

The balcony. 

The bathroom. 

The closet. 

All his belongings were gone. 

No trace of him was left behind. 

So he ran. 

“He’s gone,” I repeated, as if saying it aloud would make it less real. 

Brenda gave a small nod. “Before dawn.” 

I stumbled back, the realization hitting me like a punch to the gut. 

A numbness spread through me, like my body was shutting down to protect me from the pain. 

I clutched my chest, needing something to hold on to. 

Brenda’s voice was faint, like she was speaking from underwater.

“Miss Clairessa…? Miss–are you okay?” 

I didn’t answer. 

I couldn’t. 

“Miss?” 

I forced a deep breath, swallowing the lump in my throat. 

“I’m fine,” I finally muttered, though the words felt like a lie. 

I turned away, blinking rapidly, forcing back the tears in my eyes. 

“I’d like to be alone.” 

Brenda shifted from foot to foot, watching me carefully. “Are you sure?” 

“Yes,” I replied, my voice stronger this time. 

She gave me a sympathetic nod. “I’ll come back soon to help you pack.” 

I barely acknowledged her as she left.

Chapter 101 Had My Revenge Now I’m Done 

As soon as I was alone, everything crashed down. 

1 glanced around the room, my gaze landing on the scattered sheets. 

The memories of last night flooded back like a cruel joke, 

Gabriel’s hands. 

His lips. 

The way he teased, tortured, controlled me. 

How he made me his. 

And then he left. 

Because he didn’t want to face me. 

Because of Daniel and the kiss. 

Or maybe this was all some sick, twisted power trip to show me I was replaceable. 

I felt like crap. 

So bad it hurt.

I squeezed my eyes shut, my hands balling into fists. 

But then I forced myself to breathe. 

Gabriel Storm wasn’t going to break me. 

All of this was part of my plan. 

A game I had started. 

I came here to seduce him. 

To get my revenge on Adrian. 

And I did. 

Didn’t I? 

Then why did it feel like he was the one who seduced me? 

Why did victory taste so bitter? 

I should feel happy.

But instead, I felt defeated. 

1 let out a deep breath, shaking my head. 

I couldn’t break down. 

No. 

That would mean he won. That he truly owned me. 

Never again. 

I had promised myself the night I caught Adrian cheating that no one would ever make me feel like 

nothing.
