last update Last Updated: 2025-02-22 10:55:38

Gabriel stood speechless in the middle of his apartment, his hands clenched into fists. The sound of the door slamming shut echoed in his ears like a gunshot. Daniela had walked away, her heart shattered by the truth. She had not been replying to his messages for a while due to the fact that she was scared that he might do something worst than that.

And it was his fault.

For years, he had tried to erase his past. He had buried his regrets beneath wealth, success, and the illusion of a new life. But the past had a way of resurfacing, and now, the woman he had come to love despised him.

He couldn’t let this be the end.

Gabriel grabbed his car keys and rushed out, determined to find her.

Daniela walked aimlessly down the street, the cool night air chilling her skin. Her arms wrapped around herself, not just from the cold but from the ache spreading inside her.

Tears blurred the lights of the city, distorting everything around her.

She had finally opened her heart again—let someon

    The morning sun streamed through the curtains, casting a golden glow over Daniela’s bedroom. She stirred under the soft covers, stretching lazily before turning to her nightstand to check her phone.Except… it wasn’t there.Frowning, she sat up and rubbed her eyes. Had she misplaced it? She clearly remembered leaving it beside her before going to bed.Just as she was about to get up and search for it, a gentle knock sounded on her door.“Come in,” she called, still half-asleep.The door opened, and Gabriel stepped in, carrying a tray with breakfast—freshly squeezed orange juice, warm currant, and a plate of her favorite pancakes poured with syrup.Her eyes widened in surprise. “Gabriel?”He gave her an alarming smile. “Happy birthday, sweetheart.”She blinked. In the midst of everything that had happened recently, she had completely forgotten what day it was.“You remembered?” she asked softly.Gabriel sat on the edge of the bed, placing the tray on her lap. “Of course, I did.

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 83: Christiana's final decision

    Christiana walked through the dark, lonely streets, her heart filled with tiredness. Her arms ached from carrying her three-year-old daughter, whose frail body felt heavier than ever before. The child’s head rested calmly against her shoulder, her breathing shallow, her limbs lifeless. She had never walked. Never uttered a full sentence. Never even played like other children.Despite every effort Christiana had made—every pill she had bought with the last scraps of her earnings, every tear she had shed over this child—nothing had changed. Her daughter remained broken. Weak. A burden.Christiana became tired and frustrated. She had tried. God knew she had tried.But now, she had no more strength left to fight.She had thought motherhood would be hard, but not like this. Not a life where she starved just to buy medicine. Not a life where she could barely sleep, fearing that one day, she’d wake up and her child would no longer be breathing.She had reached her breaking point.She wa

    The bright lights of Crimson Avenue filled the streets in shades of red and blue, shining against the damp pavement. The air was filled with the smell of sweat and cigarette smoke. The night had just begun, but the familiar rhythm of the city never changed.Christiana leaned against a lamppost outside a Nights Club, her thin fingers holding a cigarette as she took a long drag, allowing the smoke to fill her lungs. She 55breathed slowly, watching the curl of smoke disappear into the air.She had been here many times before.Too many times.Tonight was not different. She was dressed in a hot pink mini dress that left little to the imagination, she knew she looked good. She had perfected the art of seduction—lips painted a deep red, eyes outlined with eye pencil,her curves clinging to her body. Men would look.And that was all that mattered.A loud voice pulled her out of her thoughts."Hello, lady in pink," a man called, his voice thick with amusement.Christiana turned her h

The air was cold, the fluorescent lights casting a harsh glare on everything they touched.He sat in the consultation room, his fingers drumming against the wooden desk, his heartbeat loud in his ears. He hated hospitals. Hated the smell, hated the pitying glances from nurses as they walked past, and most of all, hated waiting.The door opened widely , and Dr. Martins stepped inside. His white coat was neatly pressed, his stethoscope hanging around his neck. He had been Richard’s doctor for years, a man known for his strictness and blunt honesty.

Something was wrong."Mr. Lawson," the doctor began, flipping through the results in his hands.Richard swallowed, his mouth s

He had built an empire from nothing, acquiring multiple properties, successful businesses, and a reputation that commanded respect.But when the first crack appeared, he ignored it.At first, it was a minor dip in his revenue, nothing alarming.

    Gabriel sat in the dimly lit living room, staring blankly at the wall. The silence of the house was suffocating, pressing against his chest like a heavy weight. The absence of Daniela felt like a gaping hole in his life, one that he never imagined would exist.Just days ago, this house was filled with warmth, laughter, and the familiar presence of the woman he loved. Now, it was just an empty space—lifeless, cold, and unbearably quiet.He let out a long, shaky breath as he ran a hand through his disheveled hair. His eyes, bloodshot from lack of sleep, flickered toward the half-empty bottle of whiskey on the table. He had never been much of a drinker, but tonight, the burn of alcohol seemed like the only thing keeping him grounded."Why, Daniela?" he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper. "Why did you do this to me?"The pain in his chest tightened as memories of her flooded his mind. The way she used to smile at him, the way she would rest her head on his shoulder after a long da

The air buzzed with excitement, and the entire community had gathered in anticipation of the arrival of their new king and queen.Alexander sat in the back of his luxurious black car,his fingers joined together as he stared out of the window. Beside him, Daniela sat quietly, her expression unreadable. She was dressed in a flowing royal blue gown, adorned with intricate golden embroidery that shimmered in the fading sunlight.She had not spoken much since they left the city. Alexander had noticed the distant look in her eyes, but he didn’t care. All that mattered was that she was here with him, and soon, she would be crowned as his queen.The journey had been long, winding through dusty roads and dense forests, but finally, they reached the grand palace at the heart of the village.

    Gabriel stood frozen, his entire world crashing down around him. The wrumpled note in his trembling hands felt heavier than it should, as if it carried the weight of all the emotions swirling inside him. His chest tightened, his breathing uneven as the words replayed in his mind. I’m sorry. I don’t expect you to understand, but I have to go. Please don’t look for me.His throat left him and before he knew it, hot tears welled up in his eyes. His hands trembled as he wiped his face, but the tears kept coming. He let out a sharp breath, gripping the edge of the dining table for support.Why?Why would Daniela suddenly leave him like this? After everything they had been through, after everything he had done for her?He staggered backward, dragging a hand through his hair in frustration. His mind reeled with unanswered questions.

    Gabriel stirred in his sleep, shifting slightly as he reached out for Daniela, expecting to feel the warmth of her body beside him. His fingers touched nothing but cold sheets. His brows furrowed as his eyes flickered open. The dim glow of the bedside lamp illuminated the empty space beside him.“Daniela?” he called groggily, his voice thick with sleep. No response.His heart pounded slightly as he sat up, running a hand through his messy hair. He reached for his phone on the nightstand and checked the time—2:37 AM. A strange sense of unease crept up his spine.Maybe she had gone to the bathroom? He swung his legs off the bed, planting his feet on the cold tiles before standing up. He walked toward the bathroom door and knocked lightly.“Dani?”Silence.His chest tightened as he pushed the door open, only to find the bathroom empty. He frowned, stepping out into the dimly lit bedroom. His eyes darted around, his mind struggling to stay rational.“She must be in the kitchen,” he murmure

    The city was wrapped in silence, the streets nearly empty except for the occasional flicker of headlights cutting through the night. The digital clock on the bedside table blinked 2:13 AM in bold red numbers, casting a faint glow in the dimly lit bedroom.Gabriel lay beside her, deep in sleep, his chest rising and falling steadily. The rhythmic sound of his breathing should have been comforting—it always had been. But tonight, it suffocated her.Daniela sat up slowly, careful not to make a sound.Her mind was a tangled mess.She didn’t understand what was happening to her. A few hours ago, she had been living her normal life—working, loving Gabriel, planning for their future. But now, all she could think about was Alexander.His voice.His face.His presence.It was like an invisible thread was pulling her toward him, tightening around her chest, making it impossible to breathe unless she was closer to him.Her heart ached for him.And she had no idea why.Shaking off the confusion, s

    The sun hung lazily in the sky, casting soft golden hues through the curtains of Daniela’s cozy apartment. The room was quiet, except for the faint hum of the air conditioner and the occasional chirping of birds outside. It was her day off from work, and she had planned to rest, maybe even do some cleaning, but she hadn’t expected a visitor.And certainly not him.Alexander stood at her doorstep, his usual confident smile in place, holding a neatly arranged gift bag. Daniela's brows furrowed in mild surprise. She hadn’t seen or spoken to him in weeks. She had moved on—at least, she thought she had.Still, curiosity got the better of her."What are you doing here?" she asked, crossing her arms.Alexander let out a small chuckle, his deep voice smooth. "Relax, Daniela. I just wanted to check on you. No pressure, no trouble. Just... an old friend bringing a gift."Her eyes flickered down to the bag in his hand.She hesitated.She knew Alexander too well. He was never one to do things wit

    Alexander sat in his lavishly furnished bedroom, the golden chandelier above casting a dim glow over the space. The air was thick with the scent of expensive cologne and faint traces of burning incense—remnants of the chief priest’s visit from the previous day.On the polished mahogany table in front of him lay a small, dark vial.He picked it up, rolling it between his fingers. The chief priest had promised him that this would change everything. One drop of the sacred potion, and Daniela would no longer resist him. She would no longer see Gabriel. She would no longer refuse his love."Daniela, you will be mine again. You don’t have a choice."The thought sent a wicked thrill through him.He leaned back in his leather chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest. He had spent the entire night thinking about how things had spiraled out of his control.When he and Daniela were together, he had never once thought she would leave him. He had been confident—too confident—tha

    The morning sunlight streamed through the tall glass windows of Alexander’s penthouse, casting long shadows across the floor. He had barely slept, his thoughts consumed by the memory of Daniela—her laughter, her sharp tongue, the way her eyes once softened when she looked at him. But that was in the past. Now, she was engaged to another man, willingly giving herself to someone who wasn’t him.That knowledge burned through his veins.No matter what, she would be his.A sharp knock on the door jolted him from his thoughts. He straightened, already knowing who it was. He strode toward the door, his heart pounding with anticipation, and pulled it open.Chief Priest Okanga stood before him, draped in a flowing red robe embroidered with ancient symbols. His presence was as commanding as ever, his dark eyes holding the wisdom of generations past. Around his neck, cowries and beads rattled softly as he stepped inside.“You summoned me, my prince,” Okanga said in his deep, measured voice.Alex
