With a confident demeanor, Aliyah asserted her opinion, expressing her agreement with Mr. Norberg's appraisal while dismissing Gabriel's potential input. "I think the painting is quite impressive, but we should trust the experts' judgment," she stated confidently, casting a sideways glance at Gabriel.Feeling dejected by Aliyah's dismissive attitude, Benson tugged on Walter's suit, attempting to console him in the face of their impending loss. Walter, though visibly frustrated, managed to maintain his composure, nodding in acknowledgment of Benson's reassurance.As they observed Gabriel taking a step forward with an enigmatic smile, both Benson and Walter exchanged puzzled glances, wondering what he had in mind. Gabriel's confident demeanor intrigued them, sparking their curiosity about his intentions.With all eyes on him, Gabriel scanned the faces of those present, his expression unreadable. Sensing the tension in the air, he took a decisive step forward, seizing the moment to make

Despite the growing animosity, Gabriel remained composed, determined to regain his footing. He took a deep breath and addressed the room with renewed confidence. "I understand your reservations," he began, his voice steady. "But my intention is not to challenge the expertise in this room. I would like to buy the painting, but first, I need to see it up close."A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd. Walter's eyes narrowed with skepticism, while Benson couldn't help but chuckle derisively. "You want to buy the painting? With what money, Gabriel?" Benson scoffed, his tone dripping with condescension. "Do you even know how much it costs?"Gabriel ignored the mockery, his gaze fixed on Mr. Norberg. "If you will allow me, I'd like to take a closer look," he said, his tone respectful yet firm.Walter, sensing an opportunity to humiliate Gabriel further, smirked. "Sure, let the man have a look," he said with exaggerated generosity. "Let's see if our resident art critic can find someth

Gabriel met their ridicule with an unflinching gaze. "I know exactly what I'm doing," he said calmly. "I have the means to purchase this painting. My offer stands."Mr. Norberg, seeing the determination in Gabriel's eyes, raised an eyebrow. "And what price are you willing to offer, Gabriel?" he asked, genuinely curious.Gabriel took a deep breath. "I confirm that the painting is as appraised by you and the other experts. Despite this, I'm offering the valued price - 200,000 thousand dollars to buy it from Walter."A murmur of disbelief rippled through the crowd. Onlookers couldn't help but ridicule him, thinking he was just trying to win their respect again by making an offer despite the painting’s downgraded value. Mr. Norberg, who was actually a professor and a true antique expert, has refused to buy the painting for that sum despite estimating it for 200,000 dollars. He felt it wouldn't profit him anyway. “You just want to buy a painting appraised at two hundred thousand which is

Mikelson, giving it a second thought, hesitated as he pondered Gabriel's intention. The painting was worth $200,000 at most, and he couldn't believe his son-in-law had stated he would buy it at that same price. Gabriel's offer was more than generous and caused a collective intake of breath from the crowd.Benson, witnessing Gabriel asking his father-in-law for money for the painting, concluded in his mind that Gabriel was a nobody without much capability. He assumed Gabriel's acquaintance with Mr. Rhinold was merely to leverage his father-in-law's connections. A smirk appeared on Benson's face as he leaned toward Walter."Smart move, Walter," Benson said with a knowing look. "Deciding to sell the painting off to Gabriel was clever."Walter, taken aback by Benson's words, glanced at him. "What do you mean?"Benson patted Walter's shoulder, a grin spreading across his face. "Though you're selling the painting below the purchased price, it's still good that you got $200,000 back from sel

Aliyah watched with a frown as her father sent the $100,000 to Gabriel's account. Confirming it, Gabriel thanked him and was about to leave when Aliyah blocked his way. "And how are you going to get the other $100,000 to buy the painting?" she demanded, skepticism lacing her voice."Don't worry about it," Gabriel said calmly. He actually had the money but didn't want to draw suspicion, which was why he had asked his father-in-law for $100,000.Aliyah snorted in disbelief. "You're going to make a mockery of our family by telling them you want to buy the painting for $100,000 because I know you don't have any more money."Mikelson, sensing the tension, gestured for Gabriel to proceed. "Let it be, Aliyah. Gabriel knows what he's doing."The crowd watched in anticipation as Gabriel confidently approached Walter and Benson, completing the payment with a few taps on his phone. Walter's and Benson's smug expressions turned into shock as the transaction went through.Aliyah stood there, bewil

As Mr. Norberg and the other experts continued to scrutinize Gabriel with unreadable expressions, the tension in the room grew thicker. Sensing an opportunity to undermine Gabriel, Benson raised his voice, his words dripping with scorn."Looks like Gabriel's little charade isn't fooling anyone," Benson sneered, casting a knowing glance around the room. "Trying to pull off some grand scheme to make himself look like a hero. Pathetic."The murmurs of agreement spread like wildfire among the onlookers, each voice adding to the chorus of doubt and skepticism directed at Gabriel. Faces twisted with contempt turned towards him, their eyes alight with mockery."He thinks he can outsmart us all," one person scoffed, shaking their head in disbelief. "But we see right through him."Gabriel stood his ground, his expression unwavering despite the onslaught of ridicule. He knew he had to stay strong in the face of adversity, even as doubts threatened to consume him."Come on, Gabriel, admit it," an

As the realization of the painting's value sank in, the room fell silent, the air thick with disbelief. Gabriel's father-in-law stood frozen, his eyes wide with astonishment. Aliyah and the others stared at the painting, their jaws hanging open in shock."$50 million... I can't believe it," Aliyah whispered, her voice barely audible.Gabriel remained composed, his confidence unwavering despite the chaos around him. "I told you there was more to this painting than met the eye," he said, his tone calm but firm. "What can you all say now, doubting Thomas?” He chuckled, glancing at each of them that had said something bad about him earlier. The experts continued their examination, their excitement palpable as they uncovered new details and insights about the painting. Gabriel watched with a sense of satisfaction, knowing that his intuition had been proven right.As the room buzzed with excitement, Gabriel's detractors began to realize the gravity of their mistake.

Gabriel turned to his father-in-law with a smile. "Thank you for believing in me, father-in-law."Mikelson clapped him on the back. "You’ve made us all proud today, Gabriel."As the room buzzed with congratulations and excitement, Aliyah approached Gabriel, her earlier skepticism completely gone. "I misjudged you, Gabriel. You truly have an incredible eye for art."Gabriel smiled warmly at her. "Thank you, Aliyah. I just wanted to do right by our family."Mr. Rhinold shook Gabriel's hand. "If you ever find another hidden gem like this, Gabriel, you know where to find me."Gabriel nodded, his confidence bolstered by the day's events. "I'll keep that in mind, Mr. Rhinold."As the crowd slowly began to disperse, Gabriel's father-in-law, Mikelson, approached him with a grateful smile. "Gabriel, once I receive the payment from Mr. Rhinold, I will transfer half of it to you. You deserve it."Gabriel shook his head, a humble smile on his face. "No need for that, father-in-law. Keep it. Consid

The day of Camella’s delivery was a difficult one. The air was thick with tension, and Gabriel paced the hospital corridor, his face lined with worry. His heart pounded each time he heard footsteps approach, hoping for news. Dan stood beside him, trying his best to calm him down."She's strong, Gabriel. She'll get through this," Dan said, placing a hand on his shoulder. Zoe nodded in support. "Remember how well she did with Jessie? She can do it again."Gabriel nodded but his eyes were distant, full of concern. "I know, but this is different. The doctors said there were complications. It wasn’t like this with Jessie."Dan sighed. "Sometimes things don’t go as planned, but she’s in good hands. You have to trust that."Time dragged on, each minute feeling like an hour. Then, finally, the door to the delivery room opened, and the doctor emerged. His expression was serious, almost grave, and Gabriel's heart sank."Doctor, is she okay? Is the baby okay?" Gabriel asked, his voice almost bre

Gabriel's return was like a sudden burst of light piercing through the darkness that had settled in the room where his body was laid before he left, making his way downstairs. His family had been sitting in silence in the living room, weighed down by a sense of gloom, each lost in their thoughts when his voice echoed softly from the doorway."I'm back," Gabriel said, his tone gentle but firm, as though those two words were enough to bring peace to the chaos that had lingered. Everyone's heads snapped up, eyes widening in disbelief. Camella was the first to react, tears spilling down her cheeks as she rushed toward him. "Gabriel! You're...you're here!" she choked out, wrapping her arms around him tightly. "Yes, I'm here," he whispered, holding her close. "I’m back, and everything is going to be alright." Soon, the others joined in, surrounding him, their faces a mix of relief, joy, and astonishment. Marie, his mother, was tearful as she cupped his face, studying him as if she couldn

Gabriel’s eyes remained steady as he faced Thelma. Her expression was tense, eyes flickering with a mix of urgency and despair. She had tried reasoning with him, threatening him, yet he stood firm, his gaze unwavering. “Gabriel, this is the last chance you’d get. Forever,” Thelma's voice trembled, but it was clear she meant every word.Gabriel let out a slow breath. “Let it be so. Please, go save your mother. She doesn’t deserve to die at my expense.”Thelma blinked as if she hadn’t expected such calmness. Her eyes, filled with confusion, fixed on him. “The life is ebbing from you,” she said, stepping closer. “And my mother… for her to be restored, she needs the magical ring you’re putting on.” Gabriel glanced down at the ring, a simple yet powerful artifact, now glinting in the dim light. He looked back up at her, his lips curling into a sad smile. Without a word, he slowly slid the ring off his finger and held it out to her. “You can use it to save her.”Thelma was stunned. “Are y

In the dimly lit hall of Noctura, Seraphina’s laughter echoed against the stone walls, her eyes gleaming with a sadistic delight. Gabriel stirred, groaning as he slowly regained consciousness. His eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the sight before him—Seraphina, standing there with a mocking grin, her shoulders shaking with laughter.“Why are you laughing?” he asked, his voice hoarse, barely masking his confusion. “Do I look amusing to you, lying here wrecked like this?”“Not really,” Seraphina replied, her lips curling. “Actually, I played a little trick earlier, and it seems to be working. I can hear the cries echoing all around. They’re devastated… those weak humans.”Gabriel frowned, trying to process her words. “What do you mean?”She stepped closer, her dark eyes glinting as she leaned down, speaking in a low, deliberate tone. “I gave you a claim mark,” she said, her fingers lightly brushing his arm. “It’s imprinted right there, on your skin.”Gabriel’s eyes widened as he looked

Gabriel was thrown back into his dark, cold cell, his body bruised and battered. The guards had shown no mercy, following Queen Seraphina's orders to the letter. They took turns flogging him, their harsh laughter echoing off the stone walls. He had barely any strength left, yet he forced himself to stay conscious, unwilling to give them the satisfaction of seeing him break. After the beatings, they chained him up, suspending his arms so he couldn’t lie down. The heavy chains cut into his wrists, but he bit down hard, swallowing his pain. As if that wasn’t enough, cold water was splashed on him, drenching him, making the chill seep deep into his bones. It was all part of the queen’s relentless torment. Meanwhile, Thelma watched from the shadows, her heart aching. Her mother’s cruelty had gone too far. But she had been powerless to stop it, her powers restricted under strict orders from Seraphina. She clenched her fists, unable to bear seeing Gabriel in this condition any longer. Gath

Thelma stood there, her gaze fixed on Gabriel, her eyes shimmering with a mixture of determination and longing. Gabriel, shackled and weary, looked up, confused. "Why are you here, Thelma?" he asked, his voice rough from exhaustion.Thelma hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly, "Why? Do I need a reason?""Yes," Gabriel replied, his eyes narrowing. "Answer that. I'm sure your queen won't want you to be here.""Yes, my mother would be furious," Thelma admitted, her voice barely a whisper. "But I don't care. I just care about you."Gabriel's expression softened, but he was still cautious. "What?""Yes," she said, her eyes shining. "I care about you and... I want you to marry me."Gabriel's eyes widened, disbelief written all over his face. "Marry you?"Thelma took a step closer, her gaze unflinching. "Yes. Marry me. I can help you." He stared at her silently, trying to read her intentions, but she continued, her voice pleading. "I promise you, Gabriel, if you marry me, I can vouch t

Zoe felt a chill run down her spine, and she struggled to find words. "I... I didn’t know," she said, barely able to process what Tamara was saying.Camella, though lost in her own world of grief, heard Tamara’s last words and turned, her eyes wide with horror. “What are you saying?” she whispered, her lips trembling. “Someone has to die... for him to wake up?”Tamara hesitated, seeing the fear in Camella's eyes. "I wish it wasn't true, but... yes. That’s how it works. It’s a cruel trade," she said softly, her own voice betraying her sadness.Camella felt the room spin for a moment, her heart pounding. She looked at Gabriel, her lips quivering as she whispered, “No... there has to be another way. There has to be.”Zoe moved closer to Tamara, her mind reeling from the revelation. “Is there really no other way?” she asked, almost pleading."I've searched, Zoe," Tamara said, shaking her head. "But the truth is, in his condition, if he wants to return, a life must be taken. It’s not someth

Gabriel stood there, his breath heavy, the dark silhouette of the creature looming over him. It was unlike anything he had ever seen—a twisted mix of shadows and fangs, with eyes that seemed to glint even in the darkness. His heart pounded as he gripped the hilt of an available sword tighter, the sweat from his palms making it slick. He knew he had to act fast, but the creature’s movements were unpredictable, darting around him, taunting him.“Come on,” he muttered to himself, trying to steady his breathing. “Just one opening… that’s all I need.”The creature lunged, and he sidestepped, narrowly avoiding its sharp claws. The air was thick, almost suffocating, and his muscles ached from the strain of dodging and countering. He swung his sword, managing to nick the creature’s side, but it only hissed, unfazed, and retreated into the shadows. The brief moment of reprieve was shattered when he heard the snorting and stomping behind him. Turning, he saw the massive bull charging toward him

More machines attacked, but Gabriel was relentless, his mind focused on one thing: survival. He fought with a ferocity he didn’t know he had, each blow more powerful than the last. For every machine that attacked, he countered with swift, brutal precision, his eyes glowing brighter with every strike.As he stood amidst the shattered remains of the machines, his chest heaving, he heard Seraphina’s voice echo through the realm. “Impressive, Gabriel. But this is only the beginning. You will break, and you will serve me… or you will die.”Gabriel looked around, wiping the sweat from his brow, his breath ragged but steady. “I’ll never be yours,” he shouted defiantly, his voice echoing through the dark, empty expanse of Noctura. “I will find a way out of this place, and I will destroy everything you throw at me.”Seraphina's laughter echoed, dark and mocking. “We shall see, Gabriel. We shall see.”As the darkness around him deepened, Gabriel steeled himself, knowing that this was only the b
