Due to the event of things, Brittany had been plagued but she couldn’t confide in anyone, and what made matters worse was the fact that Lily was about to commit fraud with the aid of a worker. Mr.Whitewood hated Lily, and she saw him leave too, so he was off the books which made it more difficult to decipher who it was.“I am sorry I kept you waiting,” Gabriel said, cutting Brittany off from her thoughts.They were supposed to meet a certain tycoon mogul for a business deal, and boy was Gabriel glad to get his head out of the house.She put on a fake smile, taking Gabriel’s briefcase from him.“Good morning, Mr.Gabriel,” she greeted with a curt bow.Then she made her way towards the door. When she was almost at the door with Gabriel, she heard Lily’s voice, and her footstep as she raced down the stairs. Brittany paused for a moment to look at Lily who accosted Gabriel.“You left this,Gabby,”she said in a low tone, folding a hanky in Gabriel’s pocket.Gabriel said a mere thank you, and

Earlier today: Gabriel was trying his best to get a good sleep but the incessant buzzing of his phone couldn’t allow him to. When he got tired of silencing it, he picked it up to see his father was the caller.“There is an old family back in town. The.. they are looking for potential investors in their company. They own several oil companies across the world, and I would like you to attend in order to sell our brand,” his father said, and Gabriel mumbled some words before ending the call.Afte that he went back to sleep, hoping that the sun wouldn’t rise too soon.**Current time:part of Gabriel felt bad for abandoning Brittany at home. He needed her with him every day, and as he headed to the venue at the other side of town, all he could think of was how he would do at this business that was presented to him.Finally he got to the sprawling mansion, and his father rushed out to receive him.“I’m glad you could make it,” his father said, pulling him into a hug.When Mr. Whitewood lo

Gabriel returned to the party after what transpired between him and Wendy. The entire hall was well ventilated, but he couldn’t breathe. All he could think of was the fact that he was unlucky. Everything he did ended up badly.“I need some air,” he said, taking off his jacket and placing it on a seat.Wendy, who felt humiliated, sat down on the bed, thinking of the best way to get back at Gabriel. She couldn’t believe that a commoner like him could reject her. Even though they were almost bankrupt, she believed in the investment with wealthy companies like the Whitewoods.As she sat there, she thought of the best way to punish him while her hands shook as he ran it across the diamond jewelry on her neck. After a while, a thought crossed her mind, causing her to spring to her feet.She paced around the room, wondering if it was worth it.“He must pay!” She said to herself as she paced around the room, and then she came to a halt, admiring her late mother’s necklace in the mirror.“I mu

“I think we should leave,” Daniel said to Lily, and she stared at him like a mentally deranged animal.How could he want them to turn back at this moment? Yes, it was scary to go down there without a clue of what was ahead of them, but to her, it was better than staying up there without anything.“I don’t care what you have to say, but if you won’t go down there with me, then I will go alone,” she said to him, turning on the torchlight on her phone.She flashed it through the halls of the secret room to see that it was spotless, showing that it was frequently accessed and maintained. She walked to the entrance,looking back at Daniel.“Are you coming or not?” she asked him, and then he sighed, walking up to her.He didn’t have a choice, because she was pregnant with his child, and he didn’t want to lose the baby. It was a boy, and boys were rare in his family, as he was the only son among five girls.“Do I have a choice?” He grumbled, walking into the room before her.He flashed the to

Lily and Daniel knew there was fire on the mountain, but they consoled themselves with the fact that they had it a little under control. As soon as the morning sun was up, Lily opened her eyes to see that she had slept off the previous night with Gabriel on her bed.Slowly she removed his hands from her body, and she got up from, tiptoeing to her closet to get changed, but then Gabriel’s phone went off, causing her to stop in her tracks.Gabriel rolled over, and she rushed over to the bed, getting in as fast as she could before he stretched his hands to feel her body. A sense of security enveloped Gabriel’s mind as he rubbed her belly. This was his son, and he would get to have all the luxuries in life. Although he knew his family had a tradition, he had sworn to fight against it.He did not bother to ask his father how his own coming of age test went, but he swore within him that his son would live a life of luxury from birth. What his father did had affected him mentally, and he had
