An hour passed, "Knock!" Bob tapped on the medical room door before entering. He met Gabriel sleeping. His young master's head was relaxing on the bed beside Selena with his body bent over as he held her hand.
"Sir," Bob gently called.
Gabriel opened his eyes after the fourth call. He sleepily gazes at his butler before lifting his head and unbending back into the chair.
"You better have a good reason for disturbing my sleep, Bob. Because if you don't, I wouldn't mind you watching me sleep for three nights." Gabriel utters.
Bob stepped back a little and wept the sweat off his forehead even though the air conditioning was on. He realized that his young master had been regularly getting enraged since he met Selena, and Bob thought it fit to behave until he could figure out the reason behind his boss' rage.
"I promise it is!" Bob replied. He approached Gabriel and gave him a cell phone.
"What is this? Gabriel asked as he scrolled through the device.
"We when through the fellow phone and saw this text message. It looks like the gala you got invited to, is the same party Black Dragon Gang Leader's daughter will be attending." Bob replied.
Gabriel scrolled down to the last text, and it read, "I've been calling you, but you are not answering. I am getting ready to attend the 'stalwart celebration,' and if I don't hear that my cousin is dead within the next twenty-four hours, you will be a lifeless man.'
The phone fell out of Gabriel's hand as he stood up from the chair and gazed at Selena. "Cousin! Hahaha, how can I be foolish? I allow a descendant of the black dragon gang to lie in the same bed that my parents laid in." He cried.
His eyes became wet, and his fist folded in anger. Gabriel punched the night lamp on the table, and glass pieces shattered into his skin. "Ah!" He roared. The sound echoed into the wall.
"Bob! Get some guards to take her out of here and dump her in a prison cell. Tell them to cuff her hands and double security in the area so she can't escape." Gabriel sternly ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Bob replied. He was glad to see that his young master's eyes were finally open, and he was back to himself.
"Get the car ready for me!" Gabriel stated. He angrily marched out of the room with blood dripping out of his hands, messing up the floor.
Bob hurried after him. "Sir, where are you heading?" He asked when he caught up with his young master.
"I have a fitting appointment. I can't meet my worst enemy without wearing the best outfit." He stated before entering his room and slamming the door shut.
"Bump!" "Chink!" "Clack!" "Crash!" "Clunk!" "Clink!" various noises began echoing from Gabriel's room. The entire household became silent. His workers trembled with every sound that vibrated through the mansion.
Gabriel was throwing everything that his hands could touch and lift, at the wall. He was mad at himself, not because he helped Selena, but because he still wants to care for her and protect her, even after finding out she was a relative of the person that assassinated his parents in cold blood.
Janet entered the medical room and compassionately gazed at Selena. She put the bowl of warm water in her hands down on the stool and dipped a washcloth in it.
"You pitiful girl, look how bloody your body is, let me help clean you up," Janet said as she began wiping up Selena's body.
"Poor child, I don't know if meeting the young master is a curse or a fortune for you. The master is a gentleman. But too much has happened to his wretched heart to make him care for anyone except for his revenge. He has lost his soul in seeking to get vengeance for his parents. You were the first woman to make him worry." Janet stated as she cleaned the blood from Selena's face.
"Bang!" The door suddenly flew open, and Bob came in with a bunch of bodyguards.
"Take her out of here and throw her in the filthiest jail like the trash she is!" Bob ordered.
The guards follow his command and pull the equipment off Selena. They started unplugging and removing everything apart.
"What are you guys doing? She is the boss's guest! You can't treat her in this manner!" Janet cried.
However, none of the bodyguards were listening. They dragged Selena off the bed and onto the ground. Janet rushed to help Selena, but she got pushed aside.
"Stop what you are doing Janet, this rejected omega does not deserve your sympathy, and she is no guest of our boss!" Bob announces.
Although the butler had told Janet that Selena had fallen out of favor with their boss, she still felt sad about how this young lady got treated.
"But she is still injured. Can't the young master forgive her for now until she heals?" Janet begged.
The guards recklessly picked Selena off the floor and carried her out of the room.
"A maid beta like you doesn't tell her master what to do. Remember that, Janet." Bob replied before slamming the door, leaving Janet alone in the room.
Bob and the guards carried Selena into the basement, down its staircase, and tossed her into a small room. There were dead rats and rotten smells in the cell. A gross bed lay in the corner of the room, that's where they place Selena and handcuff her.
After they got done settling Selena in the cell, Bob left the bodyguards behind and went to get the car ready for Gabriel to use.
"Son! Don't eat the food! It has been drugged!"
*Pause*
"Mom! Dad! Why are you guys acting sick!"
*Pause*
"Gabriel, run!"
*Pause*
"Run, son!"
*Pause*
"What are you doing to my mom and dad?!"
*Pause*
"Mom! Dad! No! No, don't die, please...!"
*Pause*
"Stay away from me, you monster!"
*Pause*
"You killed my parents! You are a monster! Stay away from me now...!" Gabriel screamed and struggled in his sleep.
"Knock!" Bob tapped on the door after he had gotten the vehicles ready. A few minutes passed, and Gabriel's room door opened.
"What do you want, Bob?!" Gabriel angrily asked.
Bob took one look at his master and knew something was off. "Sir, is everything okay?" He asked.
"I had that stupid dream again!" Gabriel replied as he allowed his butler inside.
"The one about your parents getting murdered?" Bob stated while walking behind his young master.
Gabriel stopped, and Bob bumped into him. He turned around with rage in his eyes and could tell that his butler was shaking in his boots.
"Do you know any other stupid dream that has been haunting me over the years?" Gabriel asked.
"No, sir!" Bob said without a second to spare.
The force in the atmosphere was tense, and being in Gabriel's room was the last place Bob wanted to be at that moment. He could feel the suppression from his young master's power surging in his body more than average, and Bob knew something was still not right with his boss.
"Why are you here? If it is about the omega, I don't want to hear." Gabriel stated as he took a seat and gazed up at his butler, who was nervously standing like a sculpture.
"Sir, the cars are ready," Bob announced.
Upon hearing his butler's report, Gabriel stood up, removed his coat, and threw it on the bed. Bob stood there, watching his young master get changed.
Gabriel was about to pull off his shirt when he noticed Bob standing there staring at him. "Do you want to help me take off my clothes?" He said.
"No, sir!" Bob answered. He turned around and hurried to the door. Bob shut the door, but not before his eyes caught a glance of Gabriel's muscular back with a deep scar on it.
About five minutes passed, and Gabriel came out of his room wearing a fashionable long black leather jacket, a ripped white t-shirt, shredded black skinny jeans, and black leather boots. Bob was waiting by the door. When he saw his young master coming out, he did not say a word. Instead, Bob obediently followed Gabriel. As they were leaving the house, none of Gabriel's servants dared to look into his eyes. Fear was the only emotion flowing through the mansion as Gabriel walked past them. They all kept their heads bent until he left his villa. "Boss, let me get the door for you!" Bob said when he and Gabriel reached his boss's black La Voiture Noire. "Hand the key to me!" Gabriel ordered. Bob wanted to respond, but he kept his opinions to himself, and obediently gave the car key to his young master. Gabriel wore his dark shades and a white cap before getting into the driver's seat. Bob stood still outside the vehicle, waiting on his young master to instruct him on what to do. "Bob
"Ding!" The elevator door opened on the thirteenth floor, and Gabriel stepped out with Bob right behind him. They walked into a long gloomy hall. The lights kept flicking, and they could hear the sound of their feet echoing through the hallway. "Boss, are you sure you want to go through with this?" Bob asked. "Yes, I want to. Now stop talking and follow me quietly!" Gabriel replied. They arrived at a woolly black door and knocked on it. It took a few seconds before Gabriel and Bob heard the door unlock. "Who's there?" An elderly man said when he opened the door. Gabriel was about to introduce himself when the old man asked, "Ace is that you? I can smell your scent from where I am standing. Where have you been all these years, Ace? Oh, where's your beautiful bride and your son?" Bob looked at Gabriel, and he could tell this was a painful situation even for a dominant alpha. "Arthur. It is are, Gabriel." He replied. "Oh my! Gabriel, how big you have grown. Forgive my poor eyes
Selena had never felt this invisible before. She was staring at a top dominant alpha, but he looked more of an ant to her. Her ego had grown, and fear was not within her emotions anymore. As her eyes searched across the room, every dominant alpha bodyguard seemed like a feeble species to her, and Selena could not wait to crush them all. "Brook! Get out of there. She is not an ordinary omega!" Mel screamed. However, it was too late for Brook. His hands started rising towards his throat against his will. He tried to make it stop, but they got stuck to his neck and began to squeeze it tightly. "Please, stop! I am sorry." Brook cried as he started compressing the life out of his body. "I don't allow you to stop strangling until your last breath!" Selena ordered with a mischievous grin, and Brook could do nothing but follow her command. "You two! Go in there and stop her." M
Janet returns to Gabriel’s room. Her jaw drops in admiration as she stares at Selena in the dress. “How Do I Look?” Selena asked. She felt shy and uncomfortable wearing someone else’s clothes. “You look amazing. The gown looks so good on you like it got made for you.” Janet said as she handed the herb to Selena. “How am I going to use it?” She asked Janet. “Ho, silly me. I know you look gorgeous in that dress. But you have to soak in this herb to mask your smell. Mind you, it will only last for an hour.” Janet answered with a smile. Selena put the herb down on the table and unzipped the dress. She knew time was not in her favor, but masking her scent was more important if she wanted to enter the party undetected. Within a while Selena got undressed and Janet led her to the bathroom. Water got pulled into the bathtub for her and the herb got added to it. Selena put her legs into the tub and slid her body inside. “Why does your boss have so many feminine gowns in his closet? Does
Gabriel walks up the stairs toward the loud music. But ten stairs up, he began to feel dizzy and weak. The effect of what had happened earlier to his energy and the way he had been using up his inner power has debilitated him. With his eyes barely able to see the next stair, Gabriel strives to focus all his attention on taking one step at a time until he finally manages to find his way up to the last stairs. There was no way Gabriel could enter the party with the noise and loud music because of his present state. Therefore, he headed to room 1001 since it got reserved for him. Selena walked up to Jin with a cunning smile. She gazes at her cousin with so much hate in her eyes. When their sights met, the drama was on, and Selena was not planning on losing in the game. 'Why isn't she dead?' Jin bewilderingly thought to herself. She felt disheartened that her cousin was not a
The party went on for about fifteen minutes, and people were having the time of their lives. However, Selena has been keeping her sights on the mother and daughter for some time now. Selena knew Mila was up to no good and that her aunt had some awful deeds up her sleeves. Knowing how crafty her aunt was, she focused her entire attention on Mila. As Selena watched from afar and tried not to get caught staring, she could monitor her aunt’s every movement. Therefore, when Mila vanished from the party after getting a call, Selena was right behind her. She did not ignore her father’s teachings about being a great spy. Instead, Selena used Liam’s every word and lesson as she tracked her aunt down a bright hallway and into a shabby underground hideout in a building that Selena never knew existed. Selena stood from a safe distance that seemed safe enough for her scent not to get detected, but also close enough for her to s
Selena's hand rested on the door's knob, and she turned it. The door opens, and she pops her head inside. Her eyes caught the back of a very tall and built guy. "Hey, is everything okay?" Selena asked when she entered the room and shut the door. She stood stiff as she puzzled over why the guy was standing still and staring at a blank wall. With her vision focused on him, Selena approached him and tapped his shoulder. "Hi, did that waiter do something to you?" The man turned around with blood-red eyes and a sly smile. Selena took a step back as he took two steps forward. "I think I entered the wrong room. I am sorry, sir. I am going to leave now." She said in a shaky tone. Selena turned to walk away when she felt two bold hands on the back of her neck. His hands got tighter and tighter by the sec
Room 1001 was still, but the tension within the atmosphere was active. Gabriel kept gazing at Selena like a mad man. He had not said a word for some time after recognizing her. “Do you know me?” Selena asked with confusion. Although she already had an idea of who he was after he had called his name, Selena still wanted to know why he locked her up in his prison and almost killed her. “You love death, don't you? You murdered my twelve best guards, stole my car, and. Wait! Is that my mother's dress on you?” Gabriel asked in rage. Selena looked at his burning eyes, and she stared down at the dress, then she gazed back at him with an innocent expression. But Gabriel looked angrier than before. “I don't think so. There are thousands of dresses like this one. Every snowflake gown out there does not belong to your mother. And I have never met you before, how then can I kill 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
