The mansion was busy with whispers from within the hall. Every employee had something to say to the next person. However, once they heard footsteps coming down the stairs, their bottom and top lips got sealed together. Everyone seems to have forgotten how to speak.
Their eyes remain glued to the stairs, waiting anxiously to see who would walk down.
"The boss said he's going to be down in a moment," Bob announced.
"Oooooooh!" was echoing in the hall when the workers noticed that it was the butler and not their young master.
However, the noise seemed to slowly die down until the last person found out that Gabriel was three steps behind Bob.
"I'm here, and I will take it from here," Gabriel announces.
Bob did not hesitate to hurry down the stairs and join with the other employees.
"All of you here are no strangers to me. You guys serve
The next morning Selena opened her eyes from the brightness of the morning light. She sits up from the cold floor and gazes at Gabriel's bed.“He's not in here. I wonder where that devil could be. Ah, what should I care? It is none of my business if he is dead or alive.” Selena mumbles.Sleeping on a cold tile was not to her comfort, and her grumbling stomach was not helping.The door opened, and Gabriel came inside the room with a tray full of every delicious breakfast treat Selena could think of in her mind.'Waffles, pancakes, strawberries, PB and Jam, whole wheat toast with cheese, milk, and freshly squeezed fruit juices.' Selena thought with thirst in her eyes.Her mouth watered when Gabriel set the tray on the floor before her, and Selena could not wait to have a bite since her stomach had started making loud rumbling noises.“Oh! You
Gabriel lay in a leather chair in his study room. He had his hands crossed over his chest, and his feet hanging from the edge of the couch."Sir, it has been two days now, and the omega had not eaten anything. If this continues, she is going to die of starvation." Bob said from the doorway.
Two days later, Gabriel's private helicopter was ready for the trip as Gabriel had instructed.Selena has not seen Bob or his young master for two days straight. But, that was more to her pleasure than her discomfort. She got fed like a queen since her fainting episode. However, the chains were still on one of her wrists, which she had a little problem with than the first.Gabriel steps into his room, which he had not been in since he walked out of it two days ago. Although he had a maid that was attending to Selena giving him her daily progress, today was the first day Gabriel saw how healthy she was then in the past.When he gazes at Selena's sleeping face as she rests on his bed, her rosy lips seemed similar to a rose blossoming in the sun. Her skin appears so fair like a maiden who has had a bath in milk since her birth, the thin nightgown she wore exposes no bruises or marks on her body, and she appeared soft and pure as a newborn.Selena felt Gabriel present in the room, and she
Selena being extraordinary has never been a strange news to Gabriel. But her being the mythic DAOB species he had heard about doing his bedtime story with his mother was shocking to him. Although his mom did not give him much detail about their kind except that they were a mixture of Alpha, Omega, and Beta, Gabriel still found it amusing that they were real.After the old alpha had announced this astonishing information, everyone in the cottage had not uttered a word for about three minutes. Selena did not want to believe what the old man had said. Yet, she knew deep down that it made sense with all the strange feelings she had been undergoing recently and the constant lapses she has in her memories like the night at Gabriel villa where she couldn’t recall how she killed his guards.“Omega,” Selena heard Gabriel’s voice, and she looked his way. He gave her a warm smile and Selena felt calm and startled at the same time since it was the first time she had seen him smile with her.Gabrie
“What did he say to you?” Selena asked the moment she saw Gabriel. However, he did not respond. Yet that did not stop her from being on his tail. She remained persistent and continued to ask the same question as she followed him, yet Gabriel did not pay any attention to her. Gabriel's bodyguards and his butler were startled at the unforeseen change in their young master's character towards Selena. They did not pry into the situation at first, but then Selena got furious and bored with Gabriel continuously disregarding her question. “What the hell is wrong with you? Are you deaf, or is being rude to others a habit for you?” Selena screamed. However, her words were not strong enough to withdraw Gabriel from his stubbornness, yet it was adequately harsh to attract the bodyguards and Bob's attention further into the matter. Gabriel continued walking, even when S
Selena sat on the bed, feeling frustrated and sad at the same time. She knew leaving the villa would be difficult since Gabriel did not permit her to go."I know Joe will be anxious about my whereabouts. I wished I didn't lose my phone during the accident. If I had not lost it, I could have gotten help from home and left this mad alpha." Selena mumbled.Although the percentage of Selena running off without Gabriel's knowledge would be a zero percent chance of success, she still did not plan to sit around and wait for Jin and Mila to win. "Ah! I can't believe that stupid alpha doesn't have a telephone in his room. Stupid alpha!" Selena screamed in frustration after looking around the bedroom and did not see anything useful to assist her in escaping."Achoo!" Gabriel sneezes into the napkin before taking a seat behind his desk in his study. He grabbed his phone off the desk and dialed Dan's number, then patiently waited for Dan to answer."Hey, Dan," Gabriel said. "How are you and you
It had been about five minutes since Bob and Selena left the Villa. Neither one of them had made conversation with the other.However, Selena notices him frowning every time he gazes at her through the v-mirror.At first, Selena did not have any intention to react to Bob's attitude towards her. But after his fourth frown, she knew she had to say something."Do you hate me or just don't like the reality that your boss' behavior has changed towards me?" Selena calmly asked.Bob kept his sight on the road as he tried to figure out if he should be honest or lie since his boss likes her now. At last, he settled on telling Selena about how he truly felt."Both," Bob replied.Selena pauses for a while as she tries to understand what wrong she has done to make Bob hate her. After thinking for some time, she could not find any logical reason that Bob may have for him to resent
Selena entered her room and shut the door. Except for the fact that it was tidier than the way she left it, nothing had changed, and everything was in its rightful place.Her heart felt a bit broken to say goodbye to this space since it was where she had the best moment of her life. However, Selena's grief only lasted for about a few seconds when she realized that the people she had created these memories with were nothing but liars who have filled her spirit with so much hate and rage.The moment Selena remembered all the lies and pain Jin, Mila, and Liam had caused her, it did not seem like a bad idea that she was leaving her home. Although Selena deemed that Gabriel's house was the opposite of heaven, she still preferred being with a devil who never pretended with his attitude toward her, then the ones who claimed to love her but had stabbed her in the back.Selena went over to her closet, grabbed her favorite s
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
