Chapter 2 Two

The place had cars driving in and they parked the car far from the entrance looking at those entering the building.

"The wedding is being held on the ground floor. It's the one immediately you step in." Camilla said and Gabriela hummed before getting out of the car.

Camilla stepped down after her and they walked into the hotel. They could tell the party was going on in the large hall after the receptionist office.

Gabriela showed the screen of her phone to the bodyguards and they let them enter. Camilla looked at Gabriela shocked.

"How did you get the invitation?" She asked in a shocked tone.

"That's not for you to worry about Camilla. Just watch and see the drama unfold." Gabriela said as she looked at James and Isabel standing on the stage and exchanging their vows.

"Do you, Isabel, accept James as your husband?"

"I do!" Isabel replied.

"Do you, James, accept Isabel as your wife?"

"I do."

"Anyone against this marriage should speak up now or remain silent."

"I am against the marriage." Gabriela's voice spoke up and everyone looked in her direction. "I'm so against it."

James looked at Gabriela shocked with a what are you doing here expression. Everyone's gaze turned to Gabriela who stood in the middle of the red carpet leading to the couples.

"Congratulations on you trying to get married. Wow." Gabriela clapped her hands and Isabel looked furious but didn't say a word.

"What do you want here you prisoner?" Isabel yelled at her and Gabriela scoffed.

"Incase you don't know and I need to remind you Isabel. James is still officially my boyfriend and since you two are getting married after putting me in jail for no reason at all, I might as well ruin the wedding." A frown settled on Gabriela's lips and everyone in the crowd gasped.

"You assaulted me and don't think you'll go without being punished. That's a crime." Isabel spat out.

"I didn't assault you. I only slapped you because you were flirting with my boyfriend... oh sorry, ex boyfriend." Gabriela rolled her eyes.

"Are you crazy woman?" Isabel's father, Johnson yelled at Gabriela who stared at him blankly before looking back at Isabel and James.

"I'll make you pay for this." Gabriela said as she walked towards them.

"Guards." Johnson yelled and men in black suddenly surrounded Gabriela. She stopped in her tracks and looked at all of them before looking past them to the couples.

"Do you think I would wait for you Gabriela? That will be an absolute waste of time and you'll depend on me mostly to build back your company which already crashed because you the owner is a criminal." James said and Gabriela scoffed as she turned to look at Camilla who looked scared where she stood.

"Camilla, tell your friend to honourably step out of my wedding or she'll end up back to where she came from and this time, it's going to be worse than before."

James's threats did nothing to Gabriela but Camilla laughed nervously. "Please Gabriela, let's just go. Just break up with him and let him go... I mean let's go."

Gabriela didn't even budge. "Men, get her out of here." Johnson thundered and as the men made an attempt to move closer to Gabriela, he grabbed the first one near her and kneed his jaw hard, sending him to fly to the other man behind him.

Gabriela swiftly and skilfully beat the men up and all those who knew her before looked shocked. Back then Gabriela was soft gentle and couldn't even hurt a fly. She was easy to cheat and almost everyone got away with it.

Only James and Camilla stood by her and and never cheated her but now he was. He was betraying her in the worst way, by marrying another woman despite everything they've shared together.

She remembered that night five years back when they decided to celebrate a contract he got in The Oasis Club.

As she was getting them some drinks, she saw Isabel sit on James's lap, touching him and trying to kiss him. She seemed to be forcing herself against him.

Gabriela turned red in anger as she stepped towards them. She slammed the glass on the table and coughed.

"Excuse me..."

"Go away you cheap slut. Can't you see I'm having a good time with my man?" Isabel glared at her angrily. "You're not even that beautiful to come over to interrupt me and try to take my man away."

Isabel rubbed herself against him and Gabriela glared down at both of them. James laughed nervously and didn't say anything.

Gabriela grabbed Isabel's wrist and yanked her away. "How dare you, you ugly prostitute?" Isabel tried to slap her but Gabriela caught her hand in time.

Instead of slapping Gabriela, Gabriela slapped Isabel and she fell backwards and started wailing. The authorities came rushing in to examine her and after seeing some bruises she obviously already had, they called the police and with her father pulling some strings, she got arrested and put into jail for five years.

Gabriela stood before the men and looked at them all rolling on the floor for their dear lives. Gabriela looked proud of what she did and they all looked shocked.

Gabriela didn't even care that they were live. All she wanted to do was get to that James and beat the hell out of him.

James was too shocked to even listen to Isabel. It really is true that prison changes a man.

"Do you know the penalty of what you just did Gabriela? You surely are going back to the jail you just returned from few minutes ago." Isabel threatened.

"Those are The Tigers men if you don't know. The mafia boss isn't one to spare anyone. If you know what's best for you, you'll fall on your knees and start begging." Johnson threatened but Gabriela just looked at him before taSantos a champagne flute from the waitress and she sat down majestically before sipping from her glass.

"Call them over." Gabriela said which shocked them even more. "I can single handedly beat them all up and beat you too if you cross my path."

"Gabriela?! Are you crazy?" Camilla half screamed.

Everyone was curious to see her reaction if The Tigers actually came. Since the Red phoenix went down, they've been the ruling mafia family and no one dares to face them or disobey them, now she was there telling them to send for her death.

Gabriela stood up and took a bottle of champagne and she examined it well before aiming at Isabel and James. The duo looked shocked to their bones as the bottle shattered at their feet.

"Who do you think you are?" Isabel screamed as she made an attempt to go down to hit Gabriela but James pulled her back.

"There's no need to waste your energy on her, Isabel. It'll be a waste of time and energy." James convinced Isabel who was still fuming when sounds of power bikes and sport cars drove to the hotel.

Everyone could see from the large TV screen from the media outside the house. Camilla gulped nervously while Gabriela just stood there looking at the entrance.

"You asked for it Gabriela, and here they are." Isabel laughed wickedly.

Men in black started rushing inside and everyone looked terrified as they looked at them as they walked into the venue.

The boss soon stepped in and everyone admired the way Gabriela still had her head up despite knowing her demise was very near.

Antonio, the don of The Tigers mafia family pulled off his dark shades and stared straight at Gabriela who had her arms crossed before her chest.

"Oh my goodness, this wedding is about to be bloody."

"She should just apologize, maybe she would be spared."

Antonio looked at Gabriela with a raised brow. She didn't look scared or anything as he stepped closer, he examined her from head to toe till his gaze fell on her right middle finger.

He looked like he just saw a ghost but what he saw was the deadliest between the two.

"Don." Antonio bowed and everyone in the room looked shocked as they turned to Gabriela. "Please pardon my men. They didn't recognize you. I'm really sorry. You know I won't want to cross Red phoenix."

Everyone looked shocked. "Red phoenix?"
