Mrs. Lawson, feeling Gabriel was just playing and judging by Aliyah's expression, they thought she didn't know what she was saying. So Cole tried to assert that they possibly are not looking to buy such an expensive razor because they don't know about it.

Aliyah was about to talk but Gabriel stopped her gently.

Mrs. Lawson glanced at Gabriel with a hint of skepticism, clearly not expecting such a knowledgeable response about luxury razors.

"Imperium razors are quite exquisite," Gabriel explained calmly, his voice carrying a hint of authority. "They're known for their craftsmanship and precision engineering. The brand prides itself on using the finest materials and achieving unparalleled shaving experiences."

Cole, attempting to recover from the unexpected turn of conversation, chimed in with a forced chuckle. "Wow, Gabriel, you sure know your razors."

Mrs. Lawson nodded slowly, trying to hide her surprise. "Yes, indeed. It's impressive to see someone so well-versed in... grooming."

    Cole and his family exchanged uneasy glances, their confidence visibly shaken. Mr. Lawson, however, couldn't suppress his curiosity. "Aliyah, may I see that razor again?"Aliyah paused, handing it over with a polite smile. "Of course, Mr. Lawson."Mr. Lawson scrutinized the razor, noting down the model. Pulling out his phone, he searched for the price online. His eyes widened as he confirmed its value. "Well, I'll be damned. It really is that much."Gabriel, sensing the shift in the room, spoke up gently. "You had doubts, didn't you, Mr. Lawson?"Mr. Lawson nodded, still staring at the screen. "I must admit, I did."Mrs. Lawson, trying to salvage the situation, quickly interjected. "You know, there are a lot of fakes out there. It’s hard to tell sometimes."Cole, eager to support his mother, added, "Yeah, you never know with these things. Could be a knockoff."Aliyah, returning the razor to its place, responded firmly. "This isn't a knockoff. It's genuine, and we only invest in qualit

    Cole’s parents exchanged astonished glances. Mr. Lawson, attempting to regain composure, remarked, "Well, that's quite impressive, Gabriel. Not many can claim such achievements without making a fuss about it."Aliyah seized the moment to further praise Gabriel. "Gabriel’s support has been a blessing for our family. His humility is something we all admire."Cole, feeling the weight of his parents’ stunned silence, tried to steer the conversation back to safer ground. "That’s really admirable, Gabriel. I guess we all have our own ways of contributing."Gabriel nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips. "True, Cole. It’s not about how loudly you proclaim your success, but how effectively you use it to help others."Mrs. Lawson, finally seeing the depth of Gabriel’s character, softened her tone. "It seems we’ve underestimated you, Gabriel. It’s clear you’re a man of substance."Mikelson, still basking in his pride, added, "Gabriel’s not just a son-in-law to me; he’s like a son. His action

    Everyone turned their heads toward the door, the unexpected visitor offering a timely distraction from the escalating conversation.The interruption gave Mikelson a moment to breathe, and he silently hoped that whoever was at the door would bring a more pleasant turn to the evening.Aliyah offered to check who was at the door, but Mikelson stopped her. “Don't worry, daughter. I will get it," he said, heading to the door.Seizing the moment, Aliyah turned to Cole's parents. "You know, stability is important, but so is recognizing the value in different paths to success. Gabriel's achievements, however unconventional, have been nothing short of remarkable."Mrs. Lawson frowned. "It is just that stability in a career is crucial. Luck can be fleeting."Aliyah smiled, her tone firm but polite. "True, Mrs. Lawson, but Gabriel's success isn't just luck. It is hard work and intelligence. He has been a great support to our family."Cole, feeling the need to assert himself, chimed in. "I still

    Mikelson led Mr. Busy into the house. Aliyah, who was facing the entrance, saw them approaching and noticed the new visitor.Gabriel, too, noticed Mr. Bush, sensing the unusual commotion. "Is everything all right, father-in-law?" Gabriel asked, glancing between him and Mr. Bush."Gabriel," Mikelson said, still in shock. "This is Mr. Bush, president of Mass Jewelry. He’s here to see you."Gabriel extended his hand. "Mr. Bush, it's an honor to meet you."Mr. Bush shook his hand firmly. "The honor is mine, Gabriel. I've been looking forward to this meeting for quite some time."Gabriel, ever composed, welcomed Mr. Bush's effusive praise with a gracious smile. "Thank you, Mr. Bush. I appreciate your kind words."Mr. Bush, impeccably dressed in a bespoke navy blue suit adorned with a subtle pattern of intertwined gold threads, continued to shower Gabriel with admiration. "Your achievements precede you, Gabriel. Mass Jewelry has been keeping a close eye on your endeavors. Your entrepreneuri

    Everyone was surprised to see Mr. Bush treating Gabriel with such reverence. It felt as if Gabriel was his earthly god.Cole forced a conversation with Mr. Bush, trying to understand the nature of his relationship with Gabriel. "Mr. Bush, how did you come to know Gabriel? And why do you hold him in such high esteem?"Mr. Bush smiled enigmatically and replied, "Gabriel's reputation precedes him. He's a man of exceptional talent and integrity. But let's focus on the present, shall we?" He deftly brushed off Cole's probing questions.Turning to Mikelson, Mr. Bush continued, "I have a proposition for you. I'd like to offer you a contract for Mass Jewelry. Additionally, I believe Gabriel's wife would make an excellent manager for my new company."Mikelson's eyes widened in surprise, but before he could respond, Gabriel interjected politely, "Thank you, Mr. Bush, but I must decline. My wife is happy with her current endeavors, and I wouldn't want to disrupt that."The room fell silent, and

    As the evening progressed, Mikelson and Gabriel found themselves amidst a succession of high-profile visitors, each bearing lavish gifts and accolades for Gabriel's burgeoning influence in the jewelry industry.Mr. Bernard's gesture had set the tone for the evening. He turned to Mikelson with a warm smile, presenting a collection of rare herbs known as Starlight Bloom, renowned for their healing properties and valued at millions in the market. "Mikelson, please accept these Starlight Blooms as a token of appreciation from our company."Mikelson was taken aback by the generosity and significance of the gift. "Thank you, Mr. Bernard. These are truly remarkable."Mr. Bernard also offered to Gabriel for his wife, a gift next—a set of exquisite jewelry pieces crafted from rare diamonds and sapphires, valued at over 10 million dollars. Aliyah marveled at their beauty and elegance, thanked Mr. Bernard graciously on behalf of her sister. Following Mr. Bernard, the presidents of several othe

    Feeling out of place, Cole pulled his family to a side. "I can't believe what we're seeing," he muttered, his voice tinged with frustration.His father, equally bewildered, responded, "This is unbelievable. How did Gabriel manage to get such connections?"Cole's mother, still trying to process everything, added, "We underestimated him, clearly. But why would all these influential people be so invested in him?"Cole shook his head. "I don't know, but we need to figure out a way to leave gracefully. This is too much."His father nodded, formulating a plan. "We'll say we have an urgent family matter to attend to. It should be believable enough."They returned to the group, and Cole's father cleared his throat. "I'm afraid we must leave. An urgent family matter has come up, and we need to attend to it immediately."Gabriel saw through the lie but remained silent, his eyes meeting Aliyah's with a knowing look. Just as Cole's family was about to leave, the doorbell rang again. Everyone paus

    Gathering herself, Nora managed a weak smile. "Please, come in."Mikelson led Mr. Norberg and Mr. Mac into the living room where everyone else was gathered. The room fell silent as they entered.Mr. Mac approached Gabriel with a smile. "Gabriel, it's an honor to finally meet you in person."Mr. Norberg nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Gabriel, your reputation precedes you."Gabriel stood up to greet them. "Mr. Mac, Mr. Norberg, it’s a pleasure to see you."Mr. Mac responded warmly, "The pleasure is ours, Gabriel."Aliyah, noticing her mother’s dazed expression, whispered, "Mom, are you okay?"Nora nodded slowly, still in disbelief. "I think so. I just never imagined this."Mikelson whispered to her, "Neither did I, but we need to handle this gracefully."Nora took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. "Yes, you're right."Cole and his parents watched in shock. Cole whispered urgently, "Dad, that's Mr. Mac, the head of the Springfield family!"Cole's father, his voice shaky, replied,

    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
