In a taxi to the house, Aliyah couldn't contain her excitement and took out her phone to make a video, "Guess what, everyone? My brother-in-law just won big against Skull the Brave! Oh, he is so amazing!"When she got home, Aliyah immediately recounted the incident where Gabriel offended Brock to her mother and sister. "Mom, Camella, you won't believe what Gabriel did today! He challenged Brock and—"Camella interrupted, her face etched with worry. "Aliyah, you shouldn’t have let him do that. Brock’s family is powerful. This could mean serious trouble. But, is Gabriel okay? Is he hurt?"Nora folded her arms sternly and stated before Aliyah could give an answer."This is exactly why I’ve been saying you should divorce Gabriel, Camella. He’s reckless and doesn’t understand the consequences of his actions. Do you know how powerful Brock’s family is?"Aliyah tried to interject, "But Mom, Gabriel handled Brock. He didn’t just—"Nora cut her off, her voice rising with frustration. "I don’t
Jessie looked up at her mother, confused and worried. "Mommy, why is Grandma so angry with Daddy?"Camella knelt down, hugging her daughter tightly. "Grandma’s just worried, sweetie. But Daddy loves us, and we need to stand by him."Nora’s face softened momentarily, but she remained resolute. "I just want what’s best for you and Jessie, Camella."Camella stood up, wiping her tears. "What’s best for us is being a family, supporting each other. If you can’t see that, then maybe it’s you who needs to change, not Gabriel."Nora was left speechless, her own daughter’s words hitting her harder than she expected. Aliyah stepped in between her mother and sister, raising her hands to calm the situation. "Camella, please, don’t stress yourself too much. Gabriel is strong. I’m sure he’ll be fine."Camella shook her head, her voice strained with anxiety. "I don’t want to rely on guesses, Aliyah. This is our life. Our family’s future."Nora, her tone suddenly gentle, approached Camella. "Honey, I
Camella pulled back slightly, her eyes searching his face. "What happened? Are you really okay?"Gabriel nodded, offering a reassuring smile. "I’m fine. It’s over. Everything’s settled."Camella’s shoulders sagged with relief. "I was so worried, Gabriel. I thought…"He cut her off gently. "I know, Camella. But it’s alright now. We’re safe."Aliyah stepped forward, her eyes filled with gratitude and curiosity. "Gabriel, you really did it. You saved us."Gabriel’s smile widened as he looked around at his family. "I told you, I wouldn’t let you down."Camella hugged him again, tighter this time. "I never doubted you for a second."Nora, pretending to care, stepped forward with a forced smile. "So, Gabriel, what really happened at the event?"Gabriel met her gaze steadily. "There’s no need for you guys to worry about Brock. He won’t retaliate. If he does, it won’t be as simple as a slap."Camella's eyes widened. "You slapped Brock?"Nora’s facade dropped instantly, her face turning red wi
Nora sank into a chair, her head in her hands. "What have I done?"Mikelson placed a hand on her shoulder, offering silent support. "We’ll find a way to mend this, Nora. But you have to let go of your pride."Nora nodded slowly, tears welling in her eyes. "I just wanted to protect her. I didn’t realize I was driving her away."Aliyah knelt beside her mother, hugging her tightly. "It’s not too late, Mom. We can still make things right."But Nora objected and rose abruptly, her expression hardening. "No, I did the right thing. Don’t act like I’m wrong because the wrong one is Gabriel. He's a burden and a careless bastard." With that, she stormed off to her room, leaving them astonished.As they stepped outside, Camella squeezed Gabriel’s hand. “Look, Gabriel, you don't need to worry about anything. I am sure we will figure this out together."Gabriel smiled, deeply touched. "Thank you, Camella."He stared at her, words failing him as emotion swelled in his chest. He was touched by her e
Mikelson watched Gabriel and Jessie share a tender moment, his worry still evident. Sensing his concern, Gabriel met his father-in-law's gaze, a look of appreciation in his eyes."Gabriel," Mikelson began, his voice earnest. "I appreciate your confidence, but please, take the money. It's for Camella and Jessie’s safety. Including you.”Gabriel shook his head gently. "Thank you, father-in-law. I honestly do appreciate your kind gesture, but we don’t need it."Camella stepped in, her tone reassuring. "Dad, Gabriel won a hundred million dollars today. We’re fine financially." She then told her father about Brock’s family’s impending downfall. "Brock’s family will be bankrupt soon, thanks to Greenovation Gardens."Mikelson’s eyes widened in surprise, then softened with relief. "I didn’t know. That’s incredible news." He turned to Gabriel, his expression warm. "Thank you, Gabriel. I’m happy for you both."Gabriel smiled. "I appreciate your concern, father-in-law. It means a lot."Mikelson
After the night of the antique event, Gabriel had acquired fame which didn't sit well with the most influential people in the city. They were jealous of him and various forces started investigating with deep curiosity to know who he really was.But they couldn't discover his true identity. They were only able to know that he owned MegaGlobe company, the company that Gabriel had bought from Fredrick's family.Vincent Morgan, knowing that Gabriel does not have any connections with Greenovation Gardens as he had thought, was greatly pleased and complacent. He has abhorred a heightened dislike for Gabriel since he turned down his offer and refused to sell him the city's channel of raw stones.In his lavish office, Vincent Morgan leaned back in his leather chair, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips. Across from him stood his chief subordinate, Marcus, awaiting orders. The room, dimly lit, exuded an air of calculated menace."Marcus," Vincent began, his voice dripping with malice, "we hav
Also, the head of Brock's family, Jackson Marlow sat behind his ornate desk, the opulence of his office reflecting his family's power.Brock paced in front of him, his face twisted in anger. "Father, Gabriel humiliated me. He needs to be taught a lesson."Jackson leaned back, steepling his fingers. "I’ve heard enough, Brock. You were reckless, and now it’s time to clean up the mess. But rest assured, Gabriel will regret crossing our family."Brock’s eyes gleamed with vindictive satisfaction. "What are you going to do?"Jackson smirked. "I will target his company, MegaGlobe. Hit him where it hurts the most. He will crumble under the pressure and realize he’s not untouchable."Turning to his right-hand man, Gerald, who stood silently by the door, Jackson's tone grew menacing. "Gerald, I want you to mobilize our resources. Find every vulnerability in MegaGlobe and exploit it. Disrupt their operations, and create chaos. Make sure Gabriel feels the full weight of our wrath."Gerald nodded,
In the dimly lit clubhouse, Gabriel leaned back in his chair, sliding two rough stone contracts across the table to Louis. The hum of conversations and clinking glasses filled the background, but their focus was singular."Here," Gabriel said, handing Louis an envelope containing a $2 billion check. "Use this to establish a jewelry trading company once the matter with Brock’s family is resolved."Louis’s eyes widened as he glanced at the documents and the substantial check. "Gabriel, are you not planning to tame the Marlow family? You seem so calm about all of this."Gabriel offered a modest smile, his demeanor unflappable. "Let’s just say, I have my ways. But it’s not something I want to discuss in detail."Louis studied Gabriel’s face, sensing there was more beneath the surface. "I know you’re working on something big. You always have a plan."Gabriel nodded, changing the subject slightly. "How did your wife’s funeral go?"Louis sighed, his expression softening. "It was fine, thanks
