For several consecutive days, Gabriel's supermarket faced a series of troubling incidents. Every morning, Mike would report to Gabriel about new issues that had cropped up overnight.

One morning, Mike called Gabriel early. "Gabriel, we have a problem again."

Gabriel sighed, feeling the weight of the situation. "What is it this time, Mike?"

"Someone broke into the storage room and damaged a lot of our stock. It looks like deliberate sabotage," Mike explained, frustration evident in his voice.

Gabriel rubbed his temples. "I'm on my way."

Arriving at the supermarket, Gabriel surveyed the damage. Shelves were overturned, and products lay scattered across the floor. Customers who had come early were turned away by the mess, grumbling about the supermarket's decline.

"We can't keep letting this happen," Gabriel said, turning to Mike. "It's affecting our business and our reputation."

Mike nodded, his expression grim. "I agree. I’ve already called Don Makul. He’s on his way to investigate fur

    Inside, the air was thick with tension. Gabriel's eyes adjusted to the dim light, and he saw a man sitting tied to a chair in the center of the room. The man looked up, his eyes filled with fear.Gabriel recognized him after a long stare and muttered, "Dax."Don Makul asked, "You know him?"Gabriel nodded, "I clearly do. He's one of Vincent Morgan's subordinates."Don Makul frowned and said, "Dax told me they were hired by some low-level gang to cause trouble, but he didn’t mention Vincent Morgan's name."Gabriel, not believing what Dax had said earlier to Don Makul, glared at Dax, who avoided his gaze. "Who are you working for?" Gabriel demanded, stepping closer.Dax shuddered but remained silent.Gabriel's patience was wearing thin. "I won't ask again."Dax finally spoke, his voice dripping with anxiety. "You know him. He’s powerful and..."Gabriel cut in curtly, "Certainly your boss, Vincent Morgan. Right?"Dax said nothing, quivering but gently nodding, acknowledging Vincent Morga

    In a spacious, illuminated office, Victor Morgan stood at the bar corner, swirling a glass of brandy. He grinned to himself, his eyes gleaming with malice. "Gabriel thinks he can outmaneuver me," he muttered. "But I will crush him like the insignificant insect he is for he dared to turn me down."His assistant, a nervous-looking man in a suit, entered the room and cleared his throat. "Sir, I have some news."Victor took a leisurely sip of his brandy before acknowledging him. "Go on.""Some of the men Dax deployed to sabotage Gabriel's supermarket were arrested."Victor waved dismissively. "They’re just scapegoats. Let them take the fall."The assistant hesitated. "Aren't you worried this might be traced back to you?"Victor smirked. "I've covered my tracks. No one will find a link to me."As the assistant turned to leave, Victor stopped him. "What about Dax? Have you seen him?"The assistant shook his head. "Not all evening, sir."Victor shrugged. "He’s probably just being thorough.

    Gabriel decided to make up for refusing to hang out with Anna the other day by meeting her for lunch. They met at a cozy little bistro in the city. Anna's eyes lit up when she saw him, clearly happy to see him."Thanks for meeting up with me, Gabriel," she said, smiling warmly as they sat down."Of course, Anna. I felt bad about turning you down the other day," Gabriel replied, returning her smile.As they began to eat, their conversation flowed naturally. Anna leaned forward, genuinely interested. "I heard about your supermarket. How's everything going with that?"Gabriel sighed, shaking his head. "It's been tough lately. We've had some incidents causing trouble and affecting the business."Anna's brow furrowed in concern. "Is there anything I can do to help?"Gabriel smiled appreciatively but shook his head. "I appreciate the offer, Anna, but I think I've got it handled. Just need to take some extra measures."Their conversation was brief, filled with casual banter. Soon, Gabriel c

    Gabriel couldn't shake the feeling of helplessness as he stood near the chaotic scene. His heart ached for the hostages trapped inside the bank. Observing the situation, he noticed that the police were hesitant to take any decisive action.He moved closer to the police line, blending into the crowd of onlookers. Amidst the confusion, he saw a tall, middle-aged man with graying hair and a sharp suit yelling at a negotiation expert. The man had a commanding presence, and his nametag read "Henry Jenkins," indicating he was the bank manager."How could you botch this so badly?" Henry Jenkins shouted, his face flushed with anger. "You got one of my employees killed! What kind of negotiation was that?"The negotiation expert, a frazzled woman named Sarah, looked equally frustrated. "Mr. Jenkins, we’re doing everything we can. The robbers are highly unstable. We need to proceed with caution."Gabriel edged closer, straining to hear their conversation. The police officers around them looked c

    Gabriel held his ground. "I understand the risks, but I also know how to talk to people. Let me help."The inspector frowned. "If you think you can just walk in there and solve this, you're mistaken.""I don’t intend to just walk in," Gabriel said calmly. "But I do think I can help diffuse the situation. We need to approach this with a clear head."Realizing Gabriel was determined to get involved, the manager, Henry Jenkins, took him aside, handling the situation delicately. “Master Wellington," he started softly, "I must insist you reconsider. This situation is far too dangerous. We can't risk your safety."Gabriel shook his head firmly. "Henry, I appreciate your concern, but I'm not leaving. I'm here to help. And please, just call me Gabriel."Henry sighed and nodded, stuttering, "Alright, master Wellington… sorry, I mean, Gabriel. But be careful."Gabriel returned to the police, now more resolute. He leaned in towards the inspector and said quietly, "I have some martial arts train

    There was a moment of silence as the words sank in. Zoe, despite herself, began to see the logic in his argument. The officers around them exchanged glances, their skepticism slowly waning.However, the scene took an unexpected turn. The eyes of the manager, several sergeants, and other officers lingered on Zoe’s ample chest, which seemed more visible through her shirt than it should have been.Their gazes were filled with inappropriate fantasies and imaginations, their movements betraying their lack of professionalism.Gabriel noticed this and leaned closer to Zoe, who instinctively tensed, ready to react to what she thought was an advance. Instead, he whispered, "Be conscious of the wolves around."Zoe followed his gaze and noticed the lingering eyes. A flicker of realization crossed her face. She straightened, fixing her shirt, and glared at the ogling men. The manager, caught in the act, quickly averted his eyes, embarrassed.Gabriel stepped back and gave a subtle nod to the mana

    As the makeshift medic tended to the man, Gabriel continued to keep the robbers engaged in conversation, subtly diffusing their tension with his calm demeanor.Meanwhile, Zoe kept her stance, her hand still on her gun but her mind was now clearer. She admired Gabriel's ability to handle the situation without escalating it. She could see the robbers' initial aggression slowly melting away as Gabriel's wise words took effect.Gabriel's focus on the hostages' well-being created a temporary truce, allowing everyone to breathe a little easier. As the elderly man’s breathing steadied, the robbers seemed less inclined to act violently, giving Gabriel and Zoe a small but crucial window to plan their next move.As one of the robbers whispered something to the head robber, his expression turned severe. He stood up and pointed his gun at Gabriel, his voice filled with disdain. "I don't give a damn about these hostages. Let’s talk about what’s more important."Gabriel remained unperturbed, his

    Zoe’s emotions churned as she waited, her faith in Gabriel wavering amidst the uncertainty.The air inside the bank became thick with tension and frustration. The head robber paced back and forth, his irritation growing with each passing minute. Finally, unable to contain his anger any longer, he marched over to Zoe, grabbed her by the hair, and yanked her to her feet."Where is he?" he snarled, his face inches from hers. "Why has your partner taken over an hour to come back?"Zoe, her eyes blazing with defiance, glared at him. "I don't know. Maybe he's negotiating for your lives right now. Maybe he's making sure you don't get yourselves killed."The head robber’s face contorted with rage. "Don’t play smart with me." He slapped her hard across the face, causing her to stumble but she quickly regained her footing and he grabbed her by the hair again. Around them, the hostages started to murmur anxiously. Fear and frustration bubbled to the surface as their hopes of rescue seemed to b

    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
