Falling For My Ex's Dad (Clarissa and Gabriel) novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77: After Dinner You’re All Mine 

Elena led me through the different sections, her cheerful voice filling the air as she pointed out the elegant lounge, the cozy dining room, and the sundeck with its stunning view of the ocean. 

At the edge of the deck, I paused, leaning against the railing to stare out at the endless blue waves. The soft breeze carried the faint scent of saltwater, and for a moment, I let myself get lost in the view. 

I couldn’t believe I was spending my birthday like this–on a luxurious yacht with Gabriel Storm. Months ago, this had all been a plan to get back at Adrian, to hurt him where it would sting the most. 

But now… now it didn’t feel like revenge anymore. It felt like something I couldn’t control, something that made me feel alive. 

Yet instead of feeling elated, I felt a strong sense of guilt wreck my heart. What was I doing? How was this going to end when the truth finally came out? 

“Miss Clairessa, lunch is ready.” Elena’s cheerful voice pulled me from my thoughts. 

“Lunch?” I turned to her with a surprised look, rubbing my stomach. “I’m sorry, Elena, but I ate so much at the hotel before coming here. I’m still full,” 

“That’s alright,” she reassured me, her kind smile never wavering. “Mr. Storm just wanted to make sure you’re comfortable.” She tilted her head slightly. “How about a glass of wine instead?” 

“That sounds perfect.” I nodded.

Elena poured me a glass of wine and handed it over with a small bow. 

The yacht felt quiet, almost lonely, so I asked her to sit with me. She hesitated at first, glancing around as If unsure, but eventually, she joined me. 

We talked for a while. Elena was chatty and open, telling me about her life, her relationships, and even her 

stories. 

breakups. It was easy to talk to her, and I found myself smiling as I listened to ha 

As I sipped the wine, warmth spread through me, but after a while, my head started to feel a little heavy. Gabriel had warned me his call might take a while, but it was starting to feel like forever. 

Elena leaned forward slightly, her brows knitting together. “I’m sorry if I bored you with all my stories. Would you like to lie down for a bit?” 

I rubbed my temples, trying to ease the faint pressure building there. “That would be great,” I agreed softly. 

The room Elena guided me to was luxurious and beautifully decorated, with soft light elegant furniture. 

and smooth, 

As I glanced around, running my hand over the polished wood, Elena’s voice broke through my thoughts. “Mr. Storm never brings anyone on his yacht,” she said, her tone thoughtful. “He always sails alone. I’m surprised he brought you.”

“Oh,” I murmured, unsure how to respond. 

“You must really be special,” she added with a knowing smile. 

Her words made my cheeks flush slightly.

“You and Mr. Storm must have a close working relationship.” I replied, trying to keep my tone neutral as my fingers traced the edge of a small table. 

Her eyes softened. “I’ve been working on Mr. Storm’s yacht for over five years, and he’s always been kind to me.” 

“Hmm,” was all I could manage in response, my mind spinning again. 

My eyes shot open in the suite. I stretched lazily, glancing around, hoping to see Gabriel. The room was quiet, and he wasn’t there. My lips pressed into a small pout as I wondered if he was still busy with his call. 

Then, something sparkling caught my eye–a gorgeous gold dress hanging near the wardrobe. 

I slid out of bed, my curiosity pulling me toward it. My fingers trailed over the shimmering fabric, marveling at how luxurious it felt. It was stunning, the kind of dress that made you feel like royalty. 

On the table nearby, a folded note grabbed my attention. I picked it up, and as I read the playful words. 

How 

you looked so peaceful and beautiful that I couldn’t wake you.

Wear the dress and meet me on the deck.

A soft smile spread across my face as I pressed the note to my chest. Gabriel always knew exactly how to make me feel special. 

Soon, 

I was dressed in the gold gown. It fit perfectly, hugging my curves in all the right places. The plunging neckline revealed my perky breast, making the dress look more daring. 

I spent a little extra time on my makeup, carefully applying just the right amount to enhance my features. I wanted to blow Gabriel’s mind tonight. 

After one last glance in the mirror, I smiled at my reflection and stepped out of the room. 

As I walked toward the deck, the sound of soft piano music greeted me. My eyes widened as I saw rose petals scattered across the floor, leading the way. 

When I reached the open deck, I stopped in awe. A table for two was set up near the edge, overlooking the ocean. Candles blew softly in the night breeze. 

Then I saw him–Gabriel. He stood by the table, looking effortlessly handsome under the night sky. His piercing gaze locked onto mine as he stretched out a hand toward me. 

“Clairessa,” he greeted, stretching out his hand with a soft smile that melted me. 

I placed my hand in his, letting him pull me closer.

“Come,” Gabriel said, leading me to the table. He pulled out a chair, and I sat down, feeling like royalty. 

He sat beside me, his eyes never leaving mine. “You deserve only the best,” he murmured, a playful smirk tugging at his lips as he signaled Enrique to bring the dishes. 

Gabriel reached out and covered my hand with his. “I wanted to make tonight spec/e for you.” 

“Why?” I asked, my heart racing. I couldn’t understand why he’d gone through so much trouble for me.
