Selena's blatant alarm clock did not spare her a few minutes to sleep further. Once it was seven in the morning, the noisy ringtone began to scream at the phone's last volume through the speaker, and it had her tossing and turning in bed.
She had set it the previous night to wake her up at seven o'clock for work since she was laying in bed at an early hour at that time. But Selena never expected that she would spend the hours that she intended for sleeping purposes on sobbing into her pillow over her and Gabriel's argument.
The six rings caused Selena to angrily removed the quilt off her and had her out of bed.
"I wish I had one more hour of sleep, but my enemies are not sleeping at this moment, and I am not going to do the opposite." Selena mumbled as she scratched her hair and walked towards the bathroom.
She stepped onto the cold tiles as she approached the bathtub. Without a second choice between
The Adler's company building was rowdy with rumors about their new CEO, and it only seemed to get more crazed as the second flew by.Selena hurriedly got out of the car the moment the driver pressed his foot on the brake pad and the vehicle came to a stop. She was trying to escape from the two bodyguards that were in the next car. However, not far behind her were Craig and Mathew closing in on her as they increased the speed of their movement.Selena abruptly stopped, and the men did the same. She stared at these gentlemen for a while with rage in her eye, yet they showed no emotion on their faces."Look, guys! I'm not exactly thrilled with the fact that you both won't stop following me, even though I am already at my company." Selena calmly said as she strived to keep her rage in check.Craig gazed at Mathew and his partner stared back at him, then they both focused their eyes on Selena.&nbs
"Sir, we are here." Bob announced once the vehicle ceased movement.Gabriel looked out the window and stared at the thousands of cameras. He then focused on the faces of the news crew before stepping out of the car."Who is that?" A male reporter asked."He looks like Ace." Another person said."Our former leader was an extremely handsome man, but I don't think he's invisible to aging. That boy is too young to be Ace." The camera guy stated."Yeah. Also, wasn't Ace reported to be dead?" A journalist questioned her colleagues."But we all know that no bodies got found, and there are still workers taking care of the mansion. Maybe the family got tired of living in the spotlight and decided to take a vacation." Another reporter said."What would you say about the pool of blood found in the house?" A gentleman asked."Wel
It was nine o'clock when Gabriel came back to the villa. He had spent his entire day catching up on office work and other business-related stuff.His side was in pain because of his wound, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he walked into his house with the same predominant expression he always has on."Welcome back, sir." The workers greeted.He walked past them with Bob beside him and headed to the dining room to get something to eat before going upstairs to rest.The moment Gabriel took his seat and the maid served him his food, he noticed that the dishes were untouched. He knew that Selena was already home because Mathew had informed him about her every move. So it bothered him that she had not had dinner."Where is Selena?" Gabriel asked as he stared at the faces of his maids."Sir, once madam reached home, she went upstairs to her room and has not come down yet." Lily replied.'What's wrong with you again, Omega?' Gabriel thought.He stood up from his seat and walked a
Gabriel's eyes slowly opened when he heard his phone buzzing on the nightstand. He looked to the left and saw Selena peacefully sleeping beside him."How long did you stay up to take care of me, omega? Anyway, I should be thankful to you since it is because of you that my fever is gone." Gabriel mumbled.He then smiled at how attractive Selena's sleeping face was before getting out of bed and taking his phone into the bathroom to avoid disturbing her."Sorry for interrupting your sleep, sir." Guss's voice echoed through the phone speaker."What is it, Guss?" Gabriel asked."Well, we have found multiple hideouts for the black dragon gang like you ask. So what now, boss?""Get everyone to the headquarter. I am on my way." Gabriel commanded."Okay, boss."After the call ended, Gabriel turned to leave the bathroom when his eyes met wit
"Say something." Zac stated after standing in silence for a while and getting no response from Selena.The office remained quiet for a some time as Selena focused her attention on the wall clock. Then within a few seconds, she looked back at Zac."Your five minutes are up. You can leave now." Selena said.Zac folded his hand in a fist out of anger, yet he kept a gentle expression and a crooked smile on his face."Selena, please hear me out!" Zac pleaded.Selena leaned back in her seat, then stared at the broken image of a man she once loved, and at that moment, she pitied who she once was."I have given you the minutes you needed and also listened to enough of what you have to say. I think you should leave. We are not getting back together. It won't happen now, and it's never going to happen!" Selena calmly stated.However, Zac did
When Selena got done with all the work on her desk, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. And the moment she arrived at the villa, the time was eight-thirty.'Who knew running an entire company would be this stressful?' Selena thought before she lazily stepped out of the car with tiredness in her eyes and headed into the villa.Lily and the other maids noticed the bruise mark on her arms, but they dare not ask any question about it."Good evening, madam. Dinner is ready." Lily announced with a gentle smile on her face."I don't have the energy to eat anything right now." Selena said."But madam. Sir commanded us that we should not allow you to skip dinner, or we would have to answer to him. Please eat, even if it's just a little bit." Lily pleaded.Selena stared at the fear in the eyes of all the maids, and she could not help giving in to their w
"I can't believe he left the villa again before I woke up. Today makes it the second day that he has left the house at such an early hour. I wondered what he's doing after he leaves the villa? I could ask, but stupid alpha won't answer even if I question him with tears in my eyes." Selena thought.She stood by her office window, admiring the stunning view that the tall height of the Adler's building presented to her."Madam, there's a lady named Jin outside, causing a scene and demanding to see you." Mathew said after he had entered Selena's office and shut the door behind him."Why do all these fools love ruining my morning? Three days as the CEO of this company, and I can't breathe because all these haters keep walking in my office like it's their bedroom." Selena lashed out.Mathew stood silent and waited for her to finish complaining. He could tell from the rage in Selena's eyes that interrupting her would be a bad idea."Madam, I can ask her to leave if you don't wish to see her.
"Janet, what are you doing here? Didn't the doctor say that your wound reopened, and you have to stay in the hospital for one more week?" Lily said in shock when she saw her workmate walking towards her. "Oh well. What can I say? I can't bear staying that long away from the Villa, work, and you guys." Janet replied as she admired how clean the kitchen was. "Did you tell our young master that you are coming home?" "No." "That means you took a taxi. You know sir could have sent the workers vehicle for you if you had told him." "I saw the news about him revealing his identity, so I assumed that he would be busy. That's why I didn't want to bother him." As Lily and Janet continued their discussion, some of the maids entered the kitchen, and they were shocked when they saw Janet. "Look who finally decided to come home? We miss yo
The first golden light of dawn sneaked into Gabriel’s room as the tender breeze lazily blew against his curtains.He then gently rubbed his eyes before slowly opening them, and for about five minutes, he didn't blink with his sight focused on the ceiling.“Knock,” Bob's voice echoed into the room.The calm beat of his heart as he laid still kept replaying in Gabriel's ears along with the whispers of nature and the disturbances within the walls of the villa.“Sir, the ceremony will begin in less than thirty minutes.” Bob anxiously said as he impatiently waited outside his young master’s room door with his sight glued to his watch.In annoyance, Gabriel threw the blanket off him and sat up in bed. Then he gently rested his feet onto the cold floor before standing up.The sunlight then beamed against the multiple scars on his bare upper body as he walked past the window and headed into the bathroom.Finally, after waiting for what felt l
Gabriel's eyes seemed to be getting more violent as he approached the entrance of the house, and when he was finally a few distances away from the door, Gabriel spat on the ground in disgust when he smelled Dakar’s scent.Anger then curled hot and unstoppable in his gut like a blazing inferno that wanted to burn him from the inside out when Gabriel sensed Selena inside the building.Every emotion he felt from her caused his muscles to grow tense and his vein to bulge on his head. His pulse sped up and he was breathing shallow as he felt his blood boiling in his vein.Gabriel then tried to get a hold of himself before going in. But the rage he felt had already devoured him and his inner alpha had him under its full control.At that instant, the door opened, and the moment Gabriel saw the smirk on Dakar's face as he stood at the doorway, Gabriel grabbed him by the neck and ran him into the house and towards the wall. Then he smashed him into the concr
Gabriel kept staring at his phone and it was bothering Guss who was behind the steering wheel because he had been doing that since they met a while ago. He knew that something about his boss's attitude was off, and the fact Gabriel was distracted made Guss quite worried since he knew that Dakar was not a normal creature, and if his young master was about to fight him, then he needed to be a hundred percent focused. “Stop the car!” Gabriel shouted with intense fear in his eyes. “What is it, boss?” Guss asked in confusion. “Turn the car around!” “What?” “Turn the damn car around now!” From the force in Gabriel's voice, Guss knew not to ask any questions. So he made a turn and then gazed at his young master. “Selena is not heading to the villa,” Gabriel mumbled while struggling not to think about the worst that could happen to his wife. “How do you know?” Guss asked in dismay. “There's a GPS track
Liam gazed at the two officers standing in his office with a hostile expression on his face.“Why are the both of you here?” He asked.“Mr. Adler, it is about your sister.” An officer replied.“What about Mila.”“She's dead.”Liam's eyes seemed a bit colder as he intensely gazed at the two officers.“We know this is not pleasant news, and we are sorry for your loss.” The other officer stated.“How did this happen?” Liam calmly asked.“Well, the maintenance guy that committed suicide DNA matched that of your sister. We don't have the full details about how it happened. But since this company belongs to you, we are here to ask for the footage from the CCTV cameras of that day.”Liam kept calm and silent as he gazed directly at both of the officers.“Thank you for this information. But I wouldn't be releasing a
Selena looked away from the papers on the table, then she gazed at Gabriel entering the room.“Where did you go this morning? I woke up and your side of the bed was empty.” Selena mumbled.Gabriel closed the door and approached her. Then he drew a chair closer towards Selena and sat down.“I went to get this,” Gabriel said with a bright smile on his face.He took out a box from in his pocket and rested it on the table.“What’s that?” Selena asked.“Give me your hand,” Gabriel said as he smiled at his wife.Selena giggled as she placed her hand in her husband's palm.Gabriel then opened the box, took out a simple diamond ring, and slipped it on Selena's ring finger.“I got up this morning and noticed that your hands didn't have a wedding band on it. That didn't feel right to me, so I went out and got one.” Gabriel said.
The light in the medical room shone upon Selena's face as she blinked her eyelids. Then after a minute or two, she finally opened her eyes and her sight immediately landed on Gabriel angrily staring down at her.“What happened?” Selena mumbled.“Did the fact that you almost fall to your death mess with your memory?” Gabriel asked while striving his best not to lose his temper.“Fall to death? What are you talking about?”“Wait. You really don't remember a thing?”Selena gazed at Gabriel with confusion in her eyes. Then she tried to sit up.“Ahh! Why does my body hurt this much?” Selena mumbled.“You really don't remember falling off the edge of a twelve story building?” Gabriel asked.“No. All I can recall is Mila explaining a bunch of stories to me before injecting me with yellow fluid, then everything became blank in my head.”
There were so many thoughts going through Selena's head as she repeatedly thought about Mila's text and the risk involved in facing her aunt.Selena was so stressed by this that she started tapping the desk over and over again.Craig and Mathew seemed a bit disturbed by Selena's sudden mood swing as they watch her fingers continuously hit against the wooden surface. But when Selena abruptly stood from her chair, that had them a bit troubled.“Madam, is everything okay?” Craig gently asked as he and Mathew stared at Selena wearing her coat.She then walked towards the door, but as she was about to open it to head out of her office, Mathew and Craig seemed prepared to follow her out.Selena slowly let go of the doorknob, and then she turned around to face them with anger expressed on her face.“I am an eight-month and a few weeks old pregnant omegala, off course I am not okay! M
“It has been five months and three weeks since the terror that took place at JC hospital. The country is still bleeding from such a monstrous happening.”Selena frowned as she stared at the news lady on the tv screen.“I told you not to watch the news. It will just make you moody.” Gabriel said.Selena faintly smiled as she stared at her husband, laying beside her on the bed. Then she turned her attention back to the television.“The past months have been difficult as we wait for the elders and our leaders to shine some light on the situation. But recently the footage from the JC hospital’s CCTV cameras was released to the media and we can assure you all that the terrific act was single-handedly done by a rogue Alpha named ‘Dakar.” The new lady continued with her report.Selena felt Gabriel hugging her from the back as he rested his chin on her shoulder.“How about we call it
Gabriel gazed at the uncomfortable looked in Liam's eyes, and he could tell that something was off.“Hand the phone over!” Gabriel commanded as he walked towards Liam.“But…” Liam tried to speak out. However, the rage in Gabriel’s eyes made him rethink his words.He then gives the phone to Gabriel before taking two steps back.The anger expressed on Gabriel's face was extreme when he stared at the name on the phone’s screen. Then he answered the call and kept silent.“Liam, how could you betray me? Do you think that I am afraid of going forward with the pieces of information that I have on you?” Mila’s angry voice echoed out of the phone speaker.Gabriel removed the phone from his ears, place the call on speaker, and handed it over to Liam.He said nothing, but Liam knew exactly what he wanted him to do. He hesitated for a moment. However, Liam knew that the only op
