Selena woke up the next morning in Gabriel's arms. She could feel the weight of his manly hand around her body. Selena slowly tried to remove from under his hand, but Gabriel suddenly grabbed her body tightly.
"'Give me five more minutes." Gabriel mumbled before he gently pressed his lips against her hair.
Selena became quiet and made no further movement as she relaxed and allowed Gabriel to continue holding onto her.
"You smell like strawberries." Gabriel softly mumbled.
"You can continue sleeping. I am going to head out." Selena shyly whispered.
"I don't want five minutes for me to rest. I meant five minutes of holding you like this."
"Gabriel."
Selena could feel his warm hands lying against her stomach, and she could not handle all of this affection, so out of shyness, she pushed Gabriel's hands off her, jumped out of bed, rushed from in the room, and
Selena waited for Joe to continue with his statement because she did not know what to say, and seeing how nervous he looked, Selena did not want to say something that may scare him from speaking."So, you got married to Gabriel." Joe said.He thought it was best to start with a mutual conversation before letting Selena know about the truth."Wait, how did you know that information?" Selena hastily asked.It did not disturb her that Mathew, Rose, and Craig knew that she and Gabriel had wed each other since they were his workers, but finding out that Joe knew also had Selena bothered."Haven't you seen the news?" Joe asked out of confusion.For a moment, Selena's eyes searched the table for her phone before realizing that Gabriel still had it."Well, someone made it their job to take away my phone, and now, everyone seems to know something
When Selena picked up the folder from on the desk and opened it, she felt sick to her stomach. All the horror from that night came rushing back, and it sent a piercing pain to her head.Selena was staring at images she had strived her best to forget, and that caused her to panic inside. But on the outside, she suppressed all her traumatic emotions and lifted her head in pride."So what? Who hasn't messed around before?" Selena coldly asked.The shock expressed on the board member's face was indescribable. They expected these photos to break Selena and bring her to tears. But the bossy expression on her face stated otherwise."You! How shameless are you? Plead for the board's forgiveness and resign from your position this instant!" Liam screamed.He has been silent for a while since he was waiting for his daughter to apologize and acknowledge her wrong. But seeing how
Selena walked into her office and slammed the door in Gabriel's face, but that did not stop him from coming in after her. She stared at him with so much rage in her eyes."Why do everything about you and me have to be some hurtful mistake that fate brought our way?" Selena screamed as she finally allowed her tears to flow."Selena," Gabriel mumbled.He lacked the words to comfort her even though he knew exactly how she felt. Although this was not their first argument or the first time he had seen her cry, this moment was different from the other in the sense that he wanted so badly to take away her hurt, so he wouldn't have to feel her brokenness."Stop calling my damn name and say something else?""Tell me what you want me to say that's going to make you feel better, and I will." Gabriel softly said.He had never felt so helpless in a situation before.
Selena's eyelids lifted, and she saw Gabriel staring at her with an affectionate smile on his face."Good morning." Gabriel whispered."Morning." Selena calmly said with a soft smile as she focused on his eyes.Gabriel gently tapped Selena's nose, and when she smiled, he could not stop himself from softly kissing her."What was that for?" Selena mumbled out of shyness."You are just so adorable, and I couldn't stop myself." Gabriel teased.Selena giggled before rolling off his arm and getting out of bed. She then headed into the bathroom."What are you doing?" Gabriel asked a minute later as he stood in the bathroom doorway, leaning against the frame."Getting ready for work." Selena said while putting toothpaste on her toothbrush.Gabriel left the doorway and approached Selena, then hugged from h
The moment Mila stepped into the room, Selena's entire expression changed. Her eyes became as cold as ice, and her mood had swifted from adorable to savage. “I don’t recall requesting for you, and we sure don’t have any business together. So, why are you here?” Selena coldly stated. Mila walked towards the desk with a calm appearance and took a seat. “Can’t an aunt visit her niece?” Mila asked without blinking her eyelashes. Selena felt like laughing at her aunt‘s statement till her side hurt. But she remained composed since she knew that Mila was a tricky Fox, and the least mistake you make, she will strike. “Quit the bullcrap, and state your reason for walking into my office, or else get out!” Selena harshly said without any remorse. “You were so innocent back then. But now, when I look at you, I see a ticking time bomb ready t
Selena came home a bit earlier because she wanted to fix things with Gabriel before it escalated into a messy situation.Selena dropped her bag on the living room couch, then headed into the kitchen."Madam, what are you doing here?" Lily asked out of shock.The other maids seemed confused when they saw Selena standing at the kitchen entrance."Hey, guys." Selena gently said."Hello, madam." They all replied together."Lily, do you know Gabriel's favorite food?" Selena asked as she walked further into the kitchen."Spaghetti with Lobster Pomodoro." Lily said."Can you guys teach me how to make it?" Selena asked.She felt a bit embarrassed. But since it was for a good cause, she did not mind that much."What?" Lily softly asked with fear in her eyes.
"Sir, a birthday party is not an excellent idea." Guss said while holding back his anger.Though he had been trying to convince Gabriel for days not to host Selena's birthday party with no success, he thought to give it one last try since tomorrow was the day."Guss, if you have a short-term memory, then resign because I don't need an incompetent worker. You have repeated this statement for exactly six days straight, and yet my decision remains the same. The party must go on." Gabriel replied.Guss paced back and forth as he stared at his young master, ignoring him as Gabriel's eyes remained focused on his computer screen."Sir, what about Mila? I informed you days ago that she met with the Bloody Tears gang. These alphas are lawless and despicable. Whatever Mila visited was about can not be great for you or madam. Please think this through, boss." Guss explained with frustration in his eyes.
On the evening of the next day, the villa looked like a dark paradise with sparkles of fireflies lighting up the sky. From the decoration to interior design, everything was unbelievable, and a dream brought into reality.A soft knock on the room door drew Gabriel's attention away from buttoning his shirt. He headed towards the door and opened it.
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
