But her prayer was too late. The door stopped closing and quickly opened wildly again as Anthon swiftly slid himself in between. “Where do you think you’re going?” He scowled. Sabrina frowned at him. “I’ve already resigned,” she muttered. She didn't care anymore and just wanted to leave that place. Staying in the same place with him was suffocating. “You what?” Anthon’s jaw dropped as he looked at her in disbelief. “You resigned?” Nathalia gasped, “Why?” Her voice was full of concern and if she didn’t know her true color yet, she would’ve fallen for her acting again. “Didn't you say you see yourself working here until you're old? What changes?” Her eyes narrowed at her but kept her mouth shut. “Stop this nonsense. You think you can fool me? Have you forgotten that I am the manager now and I’m the one who's going to receive your resignation letter?” Anthon hissed. His face was already red from anger, “You didn’t submit one yet so go back to your table now!” he demanded.
Sabrina stood at the last step of the stairs frozen. Her mind went blank upon seeing Anthon along with the legal team. “Miss Bennette, we invite you to the company for some questions,” Attorney Lucio, the M Corp’s legal team director. “W-what did I do?” she stammered. Although she knew the reason as to why they were there, she was in shock. Twenty four hours had not yet passed but they're already there to claim the payment. “Come with us. We’ll tell you once we're in the M Corp,” the attorney responded. Sabrina shook her head, “No. I already talked to Mr Mondragon” Anthon’s eyes darkened, “What? Did you seduce him because you know you don't have a way out?” Hearing his angry voice again, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her chest. She was not used to it as most of the time, Anthon stayed silent and just ignored her whenever there's a misunderstanding. Her eyes casted down as she clutched the hem of her shirt. “Get dressed and go with us,” Anthon ordered. Sa
Sabrina stared at the black flash drive with brows knitted together. Puzzled, she then looked back at Nathalia who raised her eyebrows on her as if challenging her. “Let's play the video inside, shall we?” Nathalia mused. One of the staff in the legal team took the zipped lock pouch and was about to pull out the usb inside. However, the door suddenly opened which made everyone stop and turn to whoever just entered the room. “Sir Gabriel..” all of them simultaneously greeted. Sabrina froze. Although she already expected him to come, her body still stiffened upon hearing his name. “Everyone please take a seat,” Harold requested. All of them joined her while she deliberately lowered her head. She was not really nervous with the accusation they were throwing at her but rather she was more afraid of Gabriel. She was not guilty of stealing, but if the CEO mentioned her contract, she was sure going to face charges. “Sab, are you okay?” Surprised, Sabrina flinched but immed
Sabrina immediately jolted up from her seat. “That's not mine!” she exclaimed, eyes widened in shock. “The evidence is already in front of everyone and you still have the audacity to deny it?” Nathalia raised her eyebrows, “Are you saying those pictures are not you? Who is it then? Your twin?” she said mockingly.She curled her fingers, nails dug her palms. Her breathing became heavy as she threw Nathalia a sharp look. “Just admit it so we can go back to work,” Anthon chimed in, “Stop wasting our time” Anger was creeping under her skin. She cannot believe that they could be that low just to drag her under the mud. Shutting her eyes tightly, she expanded her lungs and released a heavy breath. “We should call the cops now and take this scheming woman to jail, Sir Gabriel. I’m afraid she will find a way to escape..” Nathalia stated meaningguly which caught Gabriel’s attention. “Sabrina..” Tomas called her softly. She felt him take her hand again, assuring her that she was not al
Gabriel’s jaw clenched as he saw how Sabrina flinched after he mentioned her name. He could see how scared she was to him and he hated it. “I’ll stay here with her,” Tomas announced. His gaze darted to the old man he respected a lot and did not say anything. Meanwhile, the two scums halted from leaving the room and quickly turned around to face him. “You can’t stay here!” the scumbag of a manager exclaimed as if he’s the one who makes the rule. Gabriel's blue orbs darkened as he glared at Sabrina’s ex boyfriend. He was wondering what she saw in him when everything about him was trash. “You don’t have a say here, Anthon. Don’t forget that I was the one who brought you here! It means I can also kick you out if I want to!!” Tomas warned him furiously. However, the scumbag laughed which made Gabriel’s blood boil. He clenched his fists and was ready to punch that disgusting face any second. “Dream on! I have a position now so you can’t threaten me with that anymore,” Anthon
Sabrina almost fainted at the scene. He didn’t do that! Her eyes went round as she glared at him. However, Gabriel just flashed her an amused smile before giving his attention back to her father. “Shouldn't we discuss this in my home?” Tomas said in a calm and polite tone. Sabrina's body straightened when she found her father's gaze. She was pretty sure he's going to ask a lot of questions and she was not ready to tell him what happened that night. Twisting her lips, she lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. “I'm really planning to meet you outside to talk about this. I'm just waiting for your daughter's decision..” Gabriel trailed off. As soon as he said it, Sabrina could feel her father's stares. However, she didn't move, scared to see his reaction. He knew how badly she wanted to marry Anthon. And for him to learn she's suddenly married to another guy, moreover to their new boss must have shocked him to the core. “I will be pleased if you join us for dinner later
“Arrest?” Sabrina stiffened. The chief office stepped closer along with the other. “We received a complaint and said that Miss Sabrina Bennette had stolen some confidential documents from the company. We’re here to interrogate the suspect and investigate what happened”Subconsciously, Sabrina looked at Gabriel. She nearly had a heart attack as it was the very first time she had a face-to-face with the officers. She was a good citizen and never broke any rules, never did she even receive a ticket for any road violation as she always made sure to drive safely and accordingly. “Who called you?” Gabriel queried.Sabrina turned to him and saw his thick eyebrows were deeply furrowed. His blue eyes were somehow a little darker than usual while his sharp jaw hardened. Her body then straightened as she felt his palm gently rested on the small of her back.“A woman named Nathalia Smith called us and said it’s an urgent case,” the chief officer responded. Just then, Nathalia came into the pi
Nathalia quickly looked at Sabrina and laughed haughtily. “Your charm didn’t work to the CEO,” she chuckled. Her eyes sparkled in delight but instantly it wiped away when Gabriel’s men went to her and grabbed her by the arms. “W-what are you doing?!” She asked, panicking. “Miss Smith, you need to go with us,” the chief officer stated nonchalantly. “No! Why are you taking me? It's not me! That woman is the culprit! Let go!” She screeched. “Nathalia!” Anthon screamed in panic. He then walked to Gabriel and pointed at Sabrina. “Are you out of your mind?! That freak was the one they should capture, not my fiancèe!”Sabrina’s heart throbbed. Anton must’ve loved Nathalia so much that he did not care about his position and talked that way to his boss.“Mr Fuego,” Harold called him in a warning tone. It was as if he was splashed by a bucket of ice cold water, Anthon’s face instantly turned pale upon realizing what he had done. “I’m sorry, Sir Gabriel,” he muttered as he lowered his he

Gabriel’s voice was hypnotizing her. It was as if he was awakening the demon in her that she didn't know was there. “What will you gain from it?’” she queried. “A beautiful wife,” he quickly answered. Her eyes squinted, not believing him. For someone like him who both has money and a face like a greek god, he can effortlessly have those supermodels and the most beautiful celebrity if he wanted to. So, as someone who was average in all categories, that was the most absurd thing she had heard from him. “You don’t believe me, do you?” He queried. She chewed her lips while averting her gaze. “Because you’re obviously lying,” she muttered. But instead of getting mad, Gabriel suddenly chuckled at her response, “I knew you are very smart,” he stated, which made her look back in his direction. “I’m not wrong for choosing you..” he continued. Her lips parted as her chest pounded hard. There was a voice in her head that was telling her to run, however, she couldn’t move as her feet got
