With a deep breath, he prepared to face the day, ready to begin his quest for justice and revenge. In the McConnell House, Aliyah rushed downstairs from her room to find her parents, Mikelson and Nora, in the living room. Her face was lit with excitement. "Mom, Dad, you won't believe what I just saw!" she exclaimed.Nora looked up, frowning. "What’s so exciting that you’re giggling like a child in your room?" she snapped.Aliyah chuckled, holding up her phone. "Just watch this." She played a video showing Gabriel humiliating Vincent in a restaurant, with everyone watching and taking videos.As the video played, Aliyah said, "This video has garnered so many views. It's spreading like wildfire."Nora gasped, her face turning pale as she watched the video. "Again, Gabriel wants to ruin us by messing with big people in this city!"Mikelson ignored his wife and started laughing, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "Look at Vincent, groveling like a fool. Never thought I'd see the day," he

Magdalene’s eyes softened as she looked at the drawing. "Yes, it's him. I remember his face so clearly now."Anna, intrigued, studied the drawing closely, her mind racing with curiosity about Magdalene's past and the mysteries yet to be uncovered.The woman, noticing Anna's lingering gaze, asked softly, "Is there a problem?"Anna chuckled and scratched the back of her head. "Nothing really," she said, then observed the drawing for a moment. "It looks like a rough sketch, though."The woman sighed, feeling devastated. "Yes, it is. I wish I could remember more details."Anna smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. I promise I'll help you find your son. If he lives in the city, we'll see him soon."The woman looked at her with gratitude. "Thank you, Anna, my dear. I don't know what I would do without your help."Anna nodded and patted her shoulder. "It's the least I can do."After leaving Magdalene’s room, Anna met Jia in the hallway."What would you like for dinner, Ms. Anna?" Jia asked."No

Gabriel reached the corner and found nothing. With a sigh, he turned back to his car and drove off. As his car disappeared down the street, a hooded man emerged from the shadows, a smug smile on his face. His phone rang, and he answered it promptly."Yes, I'm keeping an eye on him," he said before ending the call.Later in the evening, Camella arrived at her family's house and messaged her mother to come out and meet her. When Nora stepped outside, Camella approached her with a stern expression."Hello, Mother," Camella greeted, her voice tight. "What did you want to discuss?"Nora waved her hand dismissively and turned towards the house. "Come inside, Camella."Camella shook her head. "If I wanted to come in, I wouldn't have asked you to come out."Nora turned back, eyebrows raised. "Are you alright? This is your house too. Don't act like a stranger."Nora started walking away but stopped when she saw Camella hadn't moved. "What's your problem?""I'm not stepping into a house where

They arrived at the club downtown, and Zoe pulled up as she sighted the large sign up the clubhouse.“Is this the place?” Gabriel asked, peeing out of the window.“Yes, Gabriel. I'm sure that criminal is here. A lot of these bad guys like to go around partying and this will be his doom,” Zoe said, determinedly. Gabriel was lost in her eyes. He watched as she spoke with courage, and smiled at himself. Zoe bouncing her gaze on him sent him looking away quickly. “Okay, we go according to the plan, Gabe. You have created a really good plan. So, you go first, and I'd come in after you have him in place,” she said. He nodded, and without hesitation, stepped out of the truck, and walked into the club. Upon reaching there, he met a man asking for his ticket to enter.“Can I have your ticket, please?” He asked Gabriel. Gabriel looked at him, confused. He hadn't expected to be asked for an entry ticket.“Do I need one?” “Only special guests with tickets can enter this classy place, sir, don

Anna raised an eyebrow, confused. "No... I," she noticed the displeasure on his face and waved her hand dismissively, "I was just kidding."Gabriel shook his head. "Honestly, it wasn't funny."She gulped and stared at him. "Sorry."He was briefly silent before he smiled and apologized. "No, sorry. Lately I… just haven't been good. I didn't mean to sound cold."She nodded. "I understand.""So, tell me more about this woman," he requested."Sure. Let's sit under the canopy and talk better."She led him to a canopy beside the pool. They settled into the comfortable chairs, the afternoon sun casting a soft glow over the water.As they sat down, Anna continued, "I really need to find her son. She mentions his name sometimes, but it's always so jumbled. I was hoping you might know someone who could help us."Gabriel leaned forward, nodding. "I'll see what I can do. Maybe we can start by asking around the local shelters and hospitals. Someone must have seen her before."Anna smiled gratefull
