Camella's gaze lingered on Gabriel, her eyes searching his face for any hint of the lie. He felt her scrutiny but maintained a calm facade. Leaning forward, he pecked her lips gently.

"Goodnight, love," he whispered before heading to the bathroom.

Early the next morning, Gabriel was deep in a dream. He was a young boy again, standing in a crowded train station. His mother was walking away, disappearing into the throng of people. He tried to follow, but the crowd seemed to swallow him whole.

"Mom! Mom, wait!" he cried, his small hands reaching out desperately.

His mother turned, her face full of sorrow. "I have to go, Gabriel. Be strong."

"Don't leave me! Please!" His voice was choked with tears, and the distance between them grew.

In the real world, Camella was awake, lying next to him. She heard his distressed murmurs and turned to see him thrashing in his sleep. Concerned, she reached over and placed a hand on his face.

Gabriel's hand shot up, grabbing hers tightly. "Don't go! No, p

    Zoe held his arm gently and guided him to the couch. "Sit down," she instructed softly. "Don't worry, I will take care of it."He asked what she could do, and she reassured him, "Just sit here and relax. I will be right back."Zoe quickly walked away to gather first aid supplies. As she rummaged through her cabinet, her mind raced with worry and determination. She returned moments later with a first aid kit and knelt beside Gabriel."Let's take a look," she said, her voice steady. She carefully unbuttoned his shirt and examined the wound. "It's not too bad, but it needs to be cleaned and dressed properly."Gabriel winced as she began cleaning the wound, but her touch was gentle. "Thank you, Zoe. I don't know what I would have done without you.""You're welcome," she replied, focusing on her task. "But you really need to take better care of yourself."He nodded, feeling a mix of relief and gratitude. "I will. I promise."As she finished dressing the wound, she looked up at him and smi

    Meanwhile, Dan, who had stopped to see Zoe, frowned as he saw Gabriel driving away. He got out of his car and headed inside the building, seething with anger. Reaching Zoe's condo, he knocked aggressively. When she opened the door, she was surprised to see him."What are you doing here, Dan?" she asked.He started confronting her. "I saw Gabriel leaving. Why are you entertaining him in your house?"She was taken aback. "Mind your business, Dan! Stop being nosy and annoying.""I won't," he said curtly.She stepped out of her apartment, closing the door behind her, and glared at him. After quickly looking around to see if anyone was watching, she retorted, "You better do, because I don't like it.""I won't stop interfering in your life because I care," he insisted.She scoffed, "Why do you care? We're not related."He huffed, "You know why."She hissed, "No, I don't, and I don't want to know."Dan's expression darkened. He clenched his fist and punched the wall behind her. Zoe's eyes

    In the middle of the night, Gabriel was tossing on the bed, his body restless and drenched in sweat. His mind was trapped in another dream about his mother. This time, he found himself wandering in an unknown, dark place, the shadows thick and oppressive. "Mom!" he called out, his voice echoing through the emptiness."Gabriel, my boy," a familiar voice answered. He turned around and saw her, standing there with a sad smile on her face."Mom, I've missed you so much," Gabriel said, his voice breaking. He rushed toward her."I've missed you too, Gabriel," she replied, her eyes filled with love and sorrow. "I watch over you every day.""I don't understand why you had to leave," he said, his heart aching. "I need you."She reached out to him, her hand trembling. "I was taken too soon, my dear. But you must be strong. We're going to see each other again at the right time."Just as their hands were about to touch, a sudden gust of wind swept her away, her form dissolving into the darkness

In the McConnell House, Aliyah rushed downstairs from her room to find her parents, Mikelson and Nora, in the living room. Her face was lit with excitement. "Mom, Dad, you won't believe what I just saw!" she exclaimed.Nora looked up, frowning. "What’s so exciting that you’re giggling like a child in your room?" she snapped.Aliyah chuckled, holding up her phone. "Just watch this." She played a video showing Gabriel humiliating Vincent in a restaurant, with everyone watching and taking videos.As the video played, Aliyah said, "This video has garnered so many views. It's spreading like wildfire."Nora gasped, her face turning pale as she watched the video. "Again, Gabriel wants to ruin us by messing with big people in this city!"Mikelson ignored his wife and started laughing, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "Look at Vincent, groveling like a fool. Never thought I'd see the day," he

    Gabriel's voice remained calm and mocking. "Perhaps, Vincent. Or maybe you're just realizing how powerless you really are."Vincent's hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white. His eyes burned with a vengeful fire as he listened to Gabriel's words. "This isn't over," he hissed, his voice trembling with rage.Gabriel giggled before falling silent. Then his voice turned mean. "If you dare me, Vincent Morgan, you will keep suffering."Vincent was quiet, trying to keep his cool was the hardest thing for him at that moment. He took a deep breath, the strain evident on his face. "What do you want from me to take this all away and leave me the hell alone, Gabriel?"Gabriel's voice was smug. "Wait for my response to that."Vincent's patience snapped. "I'm literally devastated, Gabriel. My business is crashing. I need your help."“Deal with it in the meantime if you can," Gabriel said, his laugh echoing through the phone one last time before the call ended.Vincent stood there, h

I remember his face so clearly now."Anna, intrigued, studied the drawing closely, her mind racing with curiosity about Magdalene's past and the mysteries yet to be uncovered.The woman, noticing Anna's lingering gaze, asked softly, "Is there a problem?"Anna chuckled and scratched the back of her head. "Nothing really," she said, then observed the drawing for a moment. "It looks like a rough sketch, though."The woman sighed, feeling devastated. "Yes, it is. I wish I could remember more details."Anna smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. I promise I'll help you find your son. If he lives in the city, we'll see him soon."The woman looked at her with gratitude. "Thank you, Anna, my dear. I don't know what I would do without your help."Anna nodded and patted her shoulder.

    The following morning, while they had breakfast, Gabriel could see that Camella was still angry. She barely looked at him, her eyes fixed on her plate, and her responses were curt.After breakfast, Camella ordered Jessie to go get her backpack. "Jessie, get your backpack. We’re leaving soon."Gabriel sighed, watching their daughter trot off. He walked up to Camella, trying to settle their issues. "Camella, please. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you by what I did."She remained silent, her expression cold and distant, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the table."I know I should have told you about Anna and Zoe. They’re just friends. Nothing more," Gabriel continued, desperation creeping into his voice.Camella’s silence was deafening. She crossed her arms, her body language screaming her frustration.Gabriel reached out, trying to touch her arm, but she pulled away. "Camella, please talk to me."She finally looked at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of hurt and anger. "Jessie

When Nora stepped outside, Camella approached her with a stern expression."Hello, Mother," Camella greeted, her voice tight. "What did you want to discuss?"Nora waved her hand dismissively and turned towards the house. "Come inside, Camella."Camella shook her head. "If I wanted to come in, I wouldn't have asked you to come out."Nora turned back, eyebrows raised. "Are you alright? This is your house too. Don't act like a stranger."Nora started walking away but stopped when she saw Camella hadn't moved. "What's your problem?""I'm not stepping into a house where

    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
