THREE YEARS AGO:
AT SIGMUND'S MANSION:It was Gabriel's birthday when his life turned upside down. Elijah pressed his hand to his chest in pain. Gabriel was giving him medicine when someone hit him from behind.Gabriel grabbed his head and looked back. He couldn't see his face, covered with black covet. He fell to the floor and his vision went blurry. Furthermore, he saw that man putting something in Elijah's mouth, and then everything went blank.Gabriel woke up with a gasp as a bucket of water was splashed over him. He lifted his foggy eyes to see that all his family members were standing before him with murderous glares.“Grandfather,” Gabriel whispered.“He is alive. You did your best to kill him, right,”? Gabriel's cousin, Noah, sneered at him.“I di-didn't do anything,” Gabriel said, standing up.“Tell me why you did it. For property,” Gabriel's uncle growled at him.Accusations were thrown over him from every angle. They didn't listen to anything and kicked him out of the house. Gabriel pleaded and tried to justify, but they didn't let him.For months, Gabriel would sleep on the streets and eat after weeks.BACK TO THE PRESENT:“As Elijah master woke up from the coma, he was looking for you. But sadly, he didn't have much time. He has told everyone the truth that you were not the one who poisoned him but someone else did to him,” grandpa Tony told Gabriel, a lone tear escaping from his eyes.He felt like a big weight was pulled out from his heart. And at the same time, he was sad that he lost his grandfather.“I am happy that everyone knows the truth now. But I wished that I would have met grandpa once,” Gabriel sighed heavily.“Oh young master, don't be sad, in the form of his blessings he has declared you the heir of the Sigmund family. Everything belongs to you, that's why I was constantly searching for you,” Tony informed him of the great news that he has heard in 3 years.“Are you sure, grandpa Tony?”“Yes, young master. You are the heir of Sigmund's wealth. Please come back and take responsibility.”Gabriel was tongue-tied, he didn't know how to react. He laughed like a maniac in happiness. In one day, he has become guilty and free and nothing to the heir of his abandoned family.“I will be back soon, Grandpa Tony and take everything that Grandpa has left for me.” He said with contentment and hung up the call.He was overjoyed with happiness, and to celebrate his happiness. Not only that, but he started dancing and laughing aloud. Tears rolled up from his eyes, and his legs were also not stopping as well.Gabriel couldn't believe his ears. He was finally free from culpability. Now everyone knows the truth. He is not a killer anymore. He couldn't contain his happiness and started laughing loudly, unaware of the bloodthirsty glares on him.He wasn't aware that two murderous glares were staring him up.Olivia and Amelia were standing near the colossus window near the gate. They were gazing outside at Gabriel, who was laughing his heart out.“You stupid, useless man. How could you dance and be happy when we are so tense up with our family situation."? His mother-in-law clenched her teeth.She flared her nose in anger, throwing daggers from her eyes.Olivia was roaring fire with her eyes, while Amelia has never felt this brought low before, not even the day she decided to marry this prig. According to her, she has done a great favor to him by marrying him. And he ought to them for his lifetime.Olivia's eyes are scrunched in distaste as she continuously gazes at him. With an Ugly grimace on her face, she turned towards Amelia.“This is whom you wed, Amelia,”? Olivia taunted her while jesting Gabriel with her finger.“Look at your man, Amelia. For whom you demanded that money. Here you are thinking about him and there he is celebrating his freedom from you,” Olivia sneered. She stressed the word man, just to make her daughter more blameworthy. There hasn't been a day when Olivia hasn't blamed Amelia for her misfortune. One thing about Olivia Romano is that she is the Queen of manipulation.“Enough, today I will show him his worth,” Olivia said and went towards Gabriel. Amelia was following closely.“So, I was right about you,” Olivia said as she stood behind a laughing Gabriel.Gabriel quickly turned around with a large smile on his face. His eyes were gleaming with happiness. He opened his mouth to tell the good news to Amelia, but close it as he watches their murderous glares.“Amelia,” Gabriel started, but was cut off as always.“At last, you revealed your real skin,” Olivia sneered at him. She took a step closer to him.Gabriel's forehead scrunched in confusion. He couldn't understand what she was implying. “What do you mean,”? He raised a question. “Inside, I was fighting for you and here you are celebrating your freedom,” Amelia yelled at him. Gabriel still couldn't understand what they were saying, but his eyes went wide when he finally took hold of the meaning behind their words. “No, no, listen…,” Gabriel started but stopped when a force collided with his face. His face turned to the side and his eyes brimmed with tears of humiliation, but he refused to let them fall. By now all the guards were watching the free play. Gabriel's eyes turned hard, and he glared at Olivia. No matter how much they degraded him, he couldn't hit a woman. “How dare you glare at my mother,” Amelia yelled at him. Before he could say anything, Amelia yelled for guards, and they came towards them. “Throw this garbage out of the mansion,” Olivia ordered. The guards took hold of Gabriel and started dragging him outside.
Gabriel watched as they both were cracking up at him and pointing toward his scooter. Gabriel quickly moved towards his scooter and pick it up. He was looking for any ruin when he felt eyes wearing on his back, but he choose to ignore it. By now, people have amassed around them and were attending the free show. They were gossiping and pointing toward Gabriel. He ignored the nasty looks of the people and went on with his work. His shoulders were hunched in fatigue and humiliation. Although he doesn't need this scooter anymore as he has millions of dollars fortune of business in his name, he still can't let it go. He can't forget where he has come from and what's his reality. Gabriel has always been a firm believer that all humans are made of soil, and that we all are equal. We shouldn't discriminate and never forget our genealogy. He has lived by this belief. “Oh, Is your Tesla defaulted,”? Kyle taunted. Sasha laughed out loud at her boyfriends' utterances. “Oh honey, you are so f
“But sir, maybe he needs some help,” the intern said slowly. He was veering around from one foot to another in nervousness. Although he was dead scared inside but seeing the way they all were accusing Gabriel, he couldn't help himself but voice out his opinion, Oblivious to the warm gaze on him. Gabriel was tired, mentally and emotionally. And the starvation for days was also not helping him. But he was grateful that at least someone believes in him. He knows that the day, people know about him being rich, they will kiss his feet. But, this gentleman was siding with him without knowing anything about him. “Sasha is right, he is some salesman or a delivery boy. I mean, look at his cut-price clothes,” Kyle said, wounding his feelings for Gabriel more.“He isn't even allowed near the premises of this company, and you let him in,” Kyle turned towards the receptionist and lashed out at her.“If you want to avoid bidding goodbye to your job today, then kick him out,” Kyle said smugly. “
“I'm Gabriel Sigmund,”. A voice yelled, causing everyone to freeze. The voice held authority and an inferential thread. Kyla and Sasha's heads snapped toward the source of the voice. Mutterings commenced erupting from all around them. Sasha's eyes were went-wide. She hunched her forehead in confusion but deep down she started comprehending what Gabriel meant. While Kyle looks at Gabriel as if he has grown two skulls. “For someone who is in Kyle's position, Kyle surely is dopey,” Gabriel thought as he rubbernecks straight at him. “Yes, and I'm the President of France,” Kyle laughed and dramatically clapped his hands, but when no one laughed with him, Kyle quickly sobered up and fixed his tie. Clearing his throat, he walked towards Gabriel. “What are you still doing here? I guess you only understand the hands' language,” Kyle laughed and asked while taking powerful steps towards Gabriel. Sasha tried saying something, but he totally ignored her. Gabriel watched as Kyle tried to e
“Please, sir. I apologize for bullying you for all those years. It won't come to pass again,” Kyle said pleadingly. His eyes brimmed with unshed tears that were imperiling to fall any second. His shoulders were hunkered down in affliction. The people on the staff look at him with empathy, but some were looking at him with grimaces on their faces. “I was foolish. And, it was just a mistake of my immature self,” Kyle continued pleading.Gabriel chuckled at his words. They think he is doing all this just because they bullied him. Gabriel was never someone to hold grievances against anyone. Despite how people behaved toward him, he would always exonerate them and treat them with utmost respect and kindness, but now he is not the same old Gabriel Sigmund. “Please Gabriel…,” Kyle began, but Gabriel raised his brow at him. Quickly gulping the Saliva, Kyla corrected himself. “Sir,” Kyle mumbled, and Gabriel rewarded him with his signature smirk. “Please sir. Forgive me,”. “Please, sir. Do

“You are fired,”. The booming words that broke out of Grandpa Tony's mouth through the phone, left Valencia paralyzed in pristine trepidation. Blood rained out of her system as the words hit her eardrums. Fear gripped her insides. Cold sweat glistening on her forehead. She hastily wiped it with her forearm. “Wh-what,” Valencia stammered.
