VKBoyHi, guys. Hope you've enjoyed this chapter. It took a while to write. I didn't vividly describe the scene as that goes against these two characters' simple personalities. Now, who do you think won this fight? Mention in the comments, and you can find the answer in the next chapter, I guess? Anyway, if you haven't checked out my novel 'Jim is Him,' then you can give it a try. Gabe will appear in that novel in the last arc, which will be written in two to three months. It's very likely that both this novel and that novel will be completed with not many days between each other. Thanks for your support. Cheers.

There was a time when Mia was jealous of her friends who had boyfriends and chatted with them and went out to party with them. She only went to a bar once out of curiosity, but then hated the environment there and did not visit a bar another time. She also gave up on dating because nobody looked remotely interesting to her. Every man she knew, including the ones in her house were not worth sharing her feelings, or so she felt that way. There was also a time when Mia thought of not marrying at all so she wouldn’t need to compromise herself to live with a man she might not love. But all such feelings, thoughts, perceptions, and illusions flew to the moon when Gabe kissed her. Lightning sparked in both their hearts. The school background also faded away and was replaced with a night sky fully lit with stars and moon, reflecting the mood she was in. She closed her eyes and hugged him, accepting his love, warmth, and feelings which made her feel equally excited and sheltered. In the de

Russell explained to Nora that William and Bertha and their family members were guests, and so they didn’t have to pay for eating at their house. Nora still asked him how long they were going to stay. He told her that they will stay for a little while.Nevertheless, after the talk with Nora, William didn’t get close to her anymore. He kept his distance, not wanting to be thrown troublesome questions at him.By the time Nora finished eating, Gabe and Mia entered the hall. Leona was behind them, her ears still red from being pulled very much.“Who’s that uncle?” Nora was looking at Gabe with a running nose because the coconut chutney she was eating was very spicy. “I think I know him?”“He’s nobody,” Bertha whispered to her.“Nobody is his name?” Nora spoke out loud, startling Bertha. She didn’t think that the little girl would say it out loud.“His name is Gabriel,” Russell said. “He’s the one who rescued you when you got kidnapped.”“Wow, so it’s him,” Nora tapped on the table, tellin

Bertha returned to her room, where Carrie and Freddy were also there. Draco was playing a video game on his mobile.Berthan snatched the phone from his hand.“Grandma!” Draco shouted.“WHAT?” Bertha glared at him, sending a shiver up and down his little spine. He immediately went to his mother.“Mom, mobile….” he begged in a low voice. “Tell Grandma to give it to me.”“Mom, why don’t you let him play? It’s not like he’s going to school tomorrow,” Carrie tried to reason with her mother.“First, make him answer my question,” Bertha blurted. “What is nine to the power of nine?”“We were taught that in school yet,” Draco quickly said.“I don’t care. It’s simple math,” Bertha indifferently said. “Answer my question without taking anyone’s help, and then I’ll give you the mobile. Until then…” she pointed at the exit.Draco’s mouth turned down, and he ran out of the room because his parents also didn’t support him.“Hmph,” Bertha tossed the mobile on the bed. She was still in a bad mood beca

“You want him? Are you sure?” Natasha asked, even though those were the words she was waiting to hear. “What’s so great about that loser Gabriel? I know he’s got some kind of a job, but that alone doesn’t make him worthy of you.”“You don’t know about him, so you don’t know how valuable he is,” Kiera replied.“Is that so?” Natasha looked very intrigued because she knew that Kiera’s standards were high. After marrying Zack, why was she wanting to return to Gabriel?Natasha, however, felt very differently about Russell. She didn’t want to be in a relationship with him anymore, but she also didn’t want him to be in a relationship with anybody, either.“What about you, Natasha?” Kiera couldn’t help but ask. “Don’t you want to get back with Russell? He’s the most popular man in the world right now. Just by being in his life, you can gain a lot of attention from every corner of the world.”“Why would I depend on him when I don’t like him?” Natasha snorted. “I’m already doing well for myself

Mia and Jessica were busy dealing with Nora who was suffering from an upset stomach because she drank too much almond milk and so had to run to the bathroom a lot.Nicole and Bertha were busy blaming each other for Nora’s condition, saying that Nora drank the other person’s milk, which caused her this health issue.William was just sitting on a swinging couch and was drinking almond milk without a care in the world. But in his mind, the image of Nicole was flashing every now and then. “She’s really growing on me. Her smile, her eyes… they are pulling my heart out and toward her. What should I do? She doesn’t look like a soft woman. Will she fall for me if I secretly woo her?”Carrie and Freddy were busy watching a romantic TV show that Leona had set. Every time Freddy glanced in Leona’s direction, Carrie pulled his ear so that he looked at the TV instead.Russell and Gabe, on the other hand, were both sitting under a roofed but open structure in the garden.“So you don’t smoke or drin

Russell and Gabe together were traveling in the ‘69 Mustang.“Do I really need to come along?” Russell asked. “I’m a bit busy, you know.”“It’s just for an hour, I promise,” Gabe said.“Who is this Samuel anyway?” Russell asked.“He’s a pitiful guy,” Gabe replied, “but he misbehaved with my mom not long ago. So, if I see him, I might lose it.”“So you want me to stop you in case you lose it and try to beat the shit out of him,” Russell said.“Uh, yes,” Gabe awkwardly smiled. “You understood what I’m thinking. Mia pities him a lot for what happened in the past, so I don’t think I’ll get angry at him, but he’s a madman, so I can’t take anything for granted.”Russell paused for a moment and said, “Do you believe in demons?”“Haha, where is this coming from?” Gabe asked, but Russell remained silent. “Don’t tell me… you believe in demons?”“Well, vampires are real, so it’s not a stretch to think that demons also exist,” Russell opined. “I have seen and dealt with some drug addicts who atta

Gabe didn’t directly go to his home, but went through the route where Venkat’s house was.He purposely blew the horn and made Venkat see him and Russell sitting next to him.Venkat saw Russell and came out running, but Gabe waved his hand and drove away quickly, saying bye bye.“Dammit!” Venkat stomped on the ground. “I wanted to get his number.” He blinked twice. “Wait, what’s Russell doing with that fool Gabriel?”Gabe, on the other hand, was laughing happily. “He must be cursing me right now because I didn’t let him shake your hand.”“Actually, I’ll thank you this time,” Russell’s response surprised Gabe.“You will?”“Yeah. Back in school, he used to talk behind my back, telling others that I’m not a bright student and what not,” Russell said. “I didn’t ask him about it. I didn’t even ask him for the money he owed me.”“Did he pay you back?”“Of course, not.”“Haha, I don’t think he ever paid anybody a single cent back,” Gabe said. “That’s the kind of guy he is. He’ll still scold m

“Yeah, I’ll try,” Russell was talking with someone on the mobile. “I can’t guarantee that I will attend it, though.” Saying that he ended the call.“Are they inviting you to the super bowl?” Gabe excitedly asked. “Are you going?”“Nah,” Russell almost looked tired. “They have been calling me for the last five years, but I’m avoiding it.”“Huh? Why?”“Because they’re all hypocrites,” Russell said. “They tell the public to stop driving cars as it’s causing pollution, but you know, nearly 1000 private jets flew in and out of the location where they held the super bowl last year. That means they spent millions of liters of gas for their trip on just that one day. Surely, they don’t give a shit about the environment. And the climate change crap they push on the masses is just them doing what they’re paid and made famous for. I learned about all this hypocrisy while I had the Hacking System with me. I must say, the one good thing that happened because of that system is that my eyes were ope
