“Are you alone, Gabe?” The words of Mia reached Gabe’s ears as they walked along a slanted road on a hill region with the sun rising in the background, and his lamborghini parked at the base of the hill.Gabe shook his head, locking his arm with her, for with her around, he did not feel any fear anymore. She was like a heavenly gift given to him who was not worthy of such love and devotion. She was a perfect blessing. She was his queen.And they reached the hilltop together and had a wonderful time there.Back to reality, Gabe was chuckling as he daydreamed about him and Mia going on a trip and ending up having a great time.“How nice it would be if that becomes a reality,” he murmured. “But would she and I ever be free enough and ever get close enough to go on a journey together?” He could only wonder. He had been chasing money before he even grew a mustache, and afterward he also started chasing women.After many years, he started earning money after he met the alpha system, but he
“What happened?” Roxy found herself on the ground, looking worse than someone that slipped on a banana peel. “Why am I on the ground? How did I…”It took her a few seconds to realize what could have happened, and the sharp pain in her cheek only confirmed her thoughts that she really got slapped by Gabe.It was no ordinary slap. It was a slap that she couldn’t see coming. It was a slap that erased all her ego and almost made her shed tears like a child. It gave her something that was beyond humiliation. It was an eye-opening slap that tore through the facade of her sexiness and revealed her nakedness to everyone.Sevyn helped Roxy get back to her feet.With her cheek covered by her hand, Roxy looked at Gabe like a victim would.“Gabe!” Venkat quickly rushed over in a bit of a rage. “How could you slap your friend like that?” He used to have a crush on Roxy as well, so he felt really inclined to support her during this time. “How could you hit a woman?”“She asked for it,” Gabe shrugge
“Give me the key, Mia,” Cynthia asked for the car key.“You want to go for a ride by yourself?” Mia asked.“No. I just want to see the key,” she replied, and so Mia gave her the key. Cynthia got over the car after Mia and slid the key along the length of the car to ruin its appearance. She made sure nobody noticed it and then tossed the key to Mia. “That’s the best key I’ve ever seen.”Mia just smiled and then they entered the house together, only to see many people gathered around a poker game. To her surprise, both Bart and Gabe were also playing the game. Cynthia went and stood behind Bart, who she had a bit of a feeling for, but at the same time, she also had an eye on Russell.Mia didn’t know who she should stand behind. Bart was family, but Gabe was a good friend. Whom should she support?Since Cynthia was behind Bart, and there was no one supporting Gabe, she went and stood behind him.Gabe’s heart was filled with positivity when Mia stood behind him, her hands touching the cha
Gabe parked his Lamborghini in an alley not far from his house. When he was coming out, he couldn’t help but notice the scratch line and was shocked for a second.“What the hell?” He put his hands on top of his head. He was sure it wasn’t there before. “Did I go past something sharp? Give me a break, man. Why is my luck so bad? Now, I have to repair this. I hope I can remove the scratch and restore the shine it had.”He quickly entered the car, but then happened to look at the car key as he was about to put it in the keyhole, and noticed a bit of the paint stuck on the key.His eyes widened.And when he remembered whom he had given the car keys to, a visible shock took over his eyes.“Was it Cynthia? Or was it Mia?“It can’t be Mia, right?”He hoped that it wasn’t Mia because so many women had broken his heart, and he didn’t want Mia to join that female group led by Kiera.Either way, he wanted to know who scratched his car.He knew where Cynthia lived, so he straight away went to her
Gabe came home. His aunt was sleeping, so he didn’t bother her and just rested in the hall.He could see the cracks in the ceiling. In the past, he didn’t even think of closing the cracks as it would cost a lot of money, but now, he got another reason to quickly renovate the whole house.Seconds passed and added into minutes.He didn’t sleep but was just using his phone. He had made an online account, and he received a few friend requests from the people of the same neighborhood.One of those friend requests was from Zuri. She just sent a request a minute ago.“This woman… She’s unbelievably shameless.”Zuri was his senior in school, and she was called the Dimple Queen because she melted boys hearts with her dimpled smile. However, her character would put whores to shame, because she used to bring multiple boys to her house every night. Both of her parents were drug addicts, so they didn’t care for her, and she earned gifts and money from getting fucked by the boys of her school and o
“Mia!” Gabe loudly asked as he rushed over to her. “Are you okay?”His voice startled her and woke her up fast. She was initially scared, but after seeing Gabe, her heart stopped skipping. “Gabe, what are you doing here?”He felt that she picked the words right out of his mouth. “I came here to breathe some fresh air, and I saw you. Why are you here at this hour? It’s not safe for you to be alone here at night.”“I know,” she tapped the bench, as if telling him to sit.Gabe didn’t say another word and sat next to her. There was a foot distance between them, though. He briefly glanced at her, and she didn’t look alright. (Was she crying again?) He remembered the last time when she was crying in her bedroom, while looking at the photo frame of her parents. “Did you come here to feel the breeze, too?” he asked.“Kind of,” she replied and looked at the stars just for the sake of it. She then looked at him and said, “Can I ask you something?”“Yeah. Sure. Anything.” He put the mobile aside
Gabe was repeatedly punching the opponent even after he fell to the floor.“Stop!” Rica stepped in, grabbed Gabe by wrist and forcibly pulled his arm behind his back and then dragged him to the side. “What the hell are you doing? This time, the task was only to defeat and not kill the opponent. What’s gotten into you?”Gabe was gasping. He was bleeding from the mouth as it was an intense battle he just had. “That bastard scolded my mom. He deserves more beating.”“You can’t act like this. If people see you losing cool just because someone scolded your mom, then your opponents will use that to target you,” Rica said in a low voice. “You won 48 times with this. If you win two more times… you’ll cross the 1,000,000 rank and receive your golden badge. You don’t want to get the penalty by breaking the rules.”“I’ll keep that in mind.”Rica then raised Gabe’s arm into the air. “The winner is Gangsta!”The crowd had been erupting all this while, most of them rooting for Gabe.“He’s done it a
Gabe bought a new mobile and gave it to his aunt. This one was worth less than a thousand dollars, which was ten times less expensive than the last one he had bought for her.“What about the previous phone then?” Nicole couldn’t help but ask him. After hearing from the kids that the mobile was worth close to 10,000 dollars, how could she just give up on that? “I think either that child Draco or one of his friends might have taken it.”Gabe had already told her of that possibility, but she didn’t agree, not wanting him to quarrel with William or Bertha for the mobile.“Forget about that mobile, Mom,” Gabe said. “I’m earning well now, so fighting with Mia’s family for the sake of one mobile isn’t worth it.”“Mm, I understand, but if Draco really was the one who stole it, then I think we must at least tell his parents about it,” Nicole opined. “They will correct their kid.”“I’m not too sure about it, though.” Gabe didn’t think that Carrie or Freddy would punish their own for the sake of
