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
Selena took one look at the remaining dishes on the table and felt like puking. Her stomach could not take in food anymore. She pitifully gazed at Gabriel, who had been eating the same dish since Selena started with her first plate.Now that she was on her sixth plate, the food on Gabriel's plate was almost finished."Gabriel, I'm full." Selena childishly whined.Gabriel giggled at how silly she looked with an amateur face on. He then laid down his fork and smiled at her."Are you ready to go home?" Gabriel softly asked.Selena nodded, then rested her head on the table because her stomach was aching."Ahhh, I shouldn't have eaten this much seafood. But it was so good, and I could not resist the temptation." Selena mumbled.Gabriel got up from his seat and headed over to Selena. He gently tapped her to get up."G
'Three days! It has been three whole days and I haven't seen Gabriel nor have I had the chance to speak with him. At least he should tell me what I did wrong instead of ghosting me. Mathew informed me that he saved Janet's grandson, and I want to say thank you, but that's not possible now since he leaves the villa early and comes home late. I've tried various times to get into his room so we can talk, but his door is always locked each time.' Selena sadly thought.Her head remained rested on her office desk as she wallowed in self-pity about her and Gabriel's current situation."Boss, here are the documents that you asked me to get." Rose said after staring at her boss for a while without Selena recognizing her presence.Selena slowly raised her head from on the desk, then depressingly stared at her secretary."Oh, Rose, you are here?" Selena asked."Yes, boss." Rose replied.
"Boss, what are we going to do?" Guss asked as he stared at the mad Dragon gang members who seemed thirsty for a fight. "We fight our way through and see how many men both of us can take down individually." Gabriel said with a sly smile. 'Sir, the fact that you are calm and even excited in such a situation makes me uncomfortable.' Guss thought. The guys in the club seemed to be getting annoyed as they watched Gabriel and Guss have a private conversation with each other as though they were the only ones in the building. "How dare you arrogant rascals disrupt our party and act like you guys own the place!" One of the guys shouted. "Guss!" Gabriel called out. "Yes, boss." Guss answered. "Do I like being called a rascal?" "No, boss." The guys were shocked when they hea
Under the brightness of the room bulbs, Gabriel and Selena's bare skin brushed against each other as their clothes lay scattered on the floor.Gabriel's masculine hands gently caressed the sensitive parts of her body, causing her to clutch onto the blanket as her toes flickered from the excitement.Gabriel's lips then delicately moved against her neck, and he nipped on her skin, leaving bite marks everywhere. Selena moaned a bit louder every time she felt Gabriel's warm lips against her body.When one of Selena's hands released the sheet, she grabbed onto his back with it, and the moment Gabriel's teeth bit into her skin, Selena's nail pinched into his flesh."Did I hurt you?" He gently asked."No, you did not." Selena said with a soft smile and tears in her eyes.Gabriel warmly smiled back at Selena before pressing his lips against hers and intensely kissing
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
