System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 12
The next morning. Gabe woke up to find himself sleeping on a mat. The first thing he remembered was his aunt. He rushed into her room. To his relief, she was on the bed, sleeping. He checked her pulse, and she was alive. Gabe then remembered about the ring. He looked at his hand, but it was gone. He called for Systa, but she didn’t respond. No matter how many times she called her name, there was no response. The ring was nowhere to be seen. He checked his pockets, and the hall and the kitchen. Everywhere. “Don’t tell me… that bastard stole my ring,” Gabe’s heart never beat so fast before. This feeling was a profound mixture of anger and fear, something he was very much familiar with. Anger for what Bart had done to him, and fear for the fact that he needed to face someone like Bart to get his ring back. “My punch didn’t even show any affect on him. How can I win against him? I don’t even have a ring…” Just then, he remembered how Bart treated his aunt, and the fear was replaced

Gabe’s eyes met with Mia. Both kept staring at each other without blinking for different reasons.Gabe’s eyes were full of love and respect, whereas Mia’s eyes had a hint of pity in them.Soon, Bart entered Gabe’s vision, skipping his heart beat.Bart stood next to Mia on the balcony and offered her coffee in a mug. It was Bart's personal mug through which he usually drank coffee, so she politely pushed the mug away.And Bart didn’t like it, but he smiled.“Mia… you should now have a better idea about the luna system in your possession,” Bart said. “I gave you that flower because I have feelings for you. You know how much I love you, right?”Mia pursed her lips.“My family might act like they love you when the only thing they love is your money,” Bart said, “but I’m not like them. I have always loved you from the bottom of my heart.”Mia looked Bart in the eye. “From the bottom of your heart? How can you say that when you’ve dated so many women in the past few years? I’m sure you’ve d

After cleaning the lawn, hall, and then learning to wash all the clothes using the washing machine with William’s help, and ironing the clothes, Gabe was finally able to get a break. As he was exiting the house through the back door, Carrie gave him a box that had the leftover breakfast in it. It was a cream of wheat, which generally had nuts, spices, curry leaves, ghee, and more. However, in what was given to Gabe, there weren’t any nuts because they were all eaten by Carrie before she gave him the remaining food. As she gave him the box she said, “Rest until afternoon and then come at two o’clock so you can wash the dishes.” “Yes, ma’am, but…” Gabe hesitantly asked, “what about the payment? Is it daily? Or weekly?” “We’re feeding you, aren’t we?” Carrie replied, “So why are you worried about the payment? We’ll give it to you in time.” “Yes, thank you,” Gabe then went home and gave most of the food to his aunt, and she loved the taste and even remembered the last time she made th

Carrie was watching television in her room, and her mobile received a message. She checked it.Mia sent the message: Your husband is acting out of place again. How many chances should I give you? If you can’t keep him under control, just let the police take care of him. I want you to do something before I return home, or I’m going to file a complaint on him.Carrie frowned. “Tsk, this punk…”Just then, Freddy entered the room.Carrie stood and fumed at him. “Why the hell are you going after Mia, Freddy? Do you want me to tell Bart? He’ll kill you!”“Hmph,” Freddy grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her down on the bed. “I’m sure you won’t tell Bart because you love me.” He jumped onto her and began kissing her everywhere.“Stop dodging the issue,” Carrie hissed. “I’m tired of you acting stupid.”“C’mon, Carrie,” Freddy bit her waist making her hiss again, but this time she hissed differently. “It was you who told me I should attract Mia and make her sleep with me and be obsessed w

At night. Everyone except Mia had gathered at the dining table, and Gabe was serving them food. He couldn’t help but keep glancing at the ring on Bart’s hand again and again. Bart also realized that Gabe was looking, and he loved the suffering in Gabe’s face. William was making loud sounds while eating the lamb curry. He kept sucking the contents out of the bone and even tried to shove the tip of his tongue in an attempt to fetch the matter inside the bone. Draco was playing on the mobile more than he put food in his mouth. Gabe didn’t mind serving anyone, but when Bart snapped his fingers and told him to come, he didn’t feel like listening to him. He didn’t move. “Can’t you hear my son calling?” Bertha coldly looked at Gabe. “Yes, ma’am. I momentarily got lost in thought,” Gabe said and went to Bart and put curry on his plate. Snickering, Bart said, “That’s enough. Go upstairs and tell Mia to come. She likes lamb curry, so she should eat it while it’s hot.” Gabe used that opp

Gabe came home and explained what happened to his aunt.“I don’t blame you for quitting,” Nicole rubbed his shoulder softly, “but they’re rich people. They can easily make our lives more miserable. If they hire rowdies and kick us out of this house, what will we be able to do?”Gabe deeply frowned to hear those words. “I’ll go and apologize to them.”“No,” Nicole grabbed his hand. “Don’t. I doubt an apology would stop them from thinking negatively about us. What’s done is done. Whatever may come our way, we’ll have to face it together.”Gabe didn’t know where her aunt’s confidence was coming from when she wouldn’t be able to get off the bed without his help.Unlike her, Gabe didn’t have the confidence to take on Bart, let alone his entire family.He felt so sad and pathetic… just taking a breath proved burdensome.“I’ll go and make us dinner,” Gabe said and walked out into the hall. His heart grew heavier. His childhood friends were playing card games in the hall, and they were fully

Out of the money Mia had given Gabe, he gave 100 dollars to Monroe, one of the guys he owed, thereby turning him back into his friend. Monroe owned a grocery store. Gabe used to work there in the past, but he got fired because the debtors kept coming to the store and causing a scene, and Gabe’s friend couldn’t just take it.But right now, Monroe allowed Gabe to buy things from the store. This was the least bit of mercy Monroe could show, and Gabe appreciated it.Out of the remaining 100 dollars, Gabe bought food items from onions and cucumbers to other things that wouldn’t put stress on his aunt’s body. He didn’t buy any spices or refined products, because they would negatively affect his aunt’s health.He came home and went to the rooftop to get eggs, but to his shock, both the hens and the rooster were gone. All he could see were feathers.All three of them were the ones he raised, so he instantly felt bad for them. His heart ached. “Did a hawk come by? No, if it’s a bird, only one

“I have to win this race,” as Gabe was telling himself, four guys recognized Gabe and came to him. These were his friends that played cards every night at his house.“Hey, you’re participating in this marathon? Are you crazy?” one of the guys asked.“That’s why I’m here,” Gabe said, making them laugh.“Anyway, good luck, but you better tell us what your relationship with Mia is,” another guy said, roughly patting Gabe’s shoulder twice. “She wouldn’t come to your house in the middle of night for no simple reason, right?”“T-There’s nothing going on between us,” Gabe said. “I worked in her house for a day, and she came to pay me the money. That’s all.”“Don’t stress. We’ll talk about it tomorrow night,” saying that they went to their positions, where there were more girls concentrated. These guys were in their thirties like Gabe, but they were standing next to 18 and 19 year olds, telling them their bank account balances and receiving some level of attention in return.“These guys…” see
