Zoe made her way to the reception. As she approached, Nora hurried toward her, with Aliyah close behind, looking anxious.

“Please, tell me my sister is all right,” Aliyah pleaded, her voice breaking slightly. Marie and Oliver joined them, their faces tense with worry.

Zoe nodded, trying to reassure them. "Camella just regained consciousness. She's doing fine."

Nora exhaled in relief. “Can I see my daughter now?”

“Yes,” Zoe replied with a small smile, and Nora immediately headed toward the ward, with Oliver and Marie following close behind.

As they left, Anna appeared from around the corner, her face clouded with confusion. “What happened?” she asked, her tone flat.

Zoe gave her a skeptical look. "Why do you seem like you don’t know?"

Anna shrugged, her voice still emotionless. “I just heard there was an incident. What's going on?”

“You heard? I told you. You were at the supermarket. Why sound oblivious?"

"Who was brought here…?”

Zoe’s reply was blunt. “Camella was caught in the supe

    Shaking, Ruth stepped forward, clutching the stick tightly in her trembling hands. She stared at Gabriel, slumped on the ground, his body motionless. Her breathing was rapid, fear coursing through her veins. Suddenly, Leo rushed in, his eyes widening as he took in the scene. “Ruth, what did you do?” he exclaimed, staring at the stick in her hand.“I… I didn’t mean to hit him!” Ruth stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.Leo’s gaze shifted from Ruth to Gabriel, confusion and concern etched across his face. “Gabriel…? Why did you hit Gabriel?”Ruth swallowed hard, her face pale. “He almost killed our son,” she murmured, her voice shaky. “I had to hit him to stop him. I just hope… I hope he’s not dead.”Leo quickly knelt beside Gabriel, his fingers pressing against his neck. After a tense moment, he nodded. “He’s alive,” he confirmed, relief washing over him.Ruth sighed deeply, her body sagging with the weight of the tension. “Good. It’s a good thing we’ve been keeping tabs on Gr

    After Greg drifted back to sleep, Leo and Ruth quietly stepped out of the ward, their footsteps echoing softly in the hospital hallway. Ruth’s face was pale, and her hands trembled slightly as she clutched her shawl tightly around her shoulders. “I hope we made the right decision by lying to him about Gabriel?” she asked, her voice shaky.Leo glanced at her, his expression calm but resolute. “Yes,” he replied. “It's best Greg thinks Gabriel is gone. It might stop him from being obsessed with proving himself to my father."“But what if your father finds out that Greg didn't kill Gabriel?” Ruth pressed, worry etched on her face. “What if he discovers we helped Gabriel escape?”Leo sighed, pausing for a moment to think. “He won't find out,” he reassured her. “We’ll keep this secret between us.”Ruth bit her lip, still unconvinced. “But what if Gabriel shows up in the capital again and tries to kill your father?”Leo stopped walking and turned to face her, his expression firm. “If that ha

    Gabriel rushed into the hospital moments after the taxi dropped him off. His heart pounded as he hurried down the hall, searching for Camella’s room after being told what room she was in. Finally, he found it and pushed the door open.Camella’s face darkened with anger when she saw him. "Where were you?" she demanded, her voice sharp. "Don’t even try to touch me!" She flinched as he reached for her. "Go back to wherever you were yesterday, Gabriel.""I'm sorry, Camella," he pleaded. "I got caught up in something…""Something more important than me, right?" she shot back, her eyes filled with hurt. "I almost died, and you didn’t bother to come. Everyone was here, worried about me, except you. What was so important that kept you away? You always disappear when I need you most. Is this a new habit of yours?""Camella, please, it's not like that," Gabriel tried to explain, his voice calm yet desperate. "I had to handle something urgent—"“Don’t lie to me, Gabriel!” she cut him off, raisi

    Master Russell’s eyes narrowed. "Why is your car in Springfield City, Leo? Did you go there?" His tone was sharp, his walking stick tapping impatiently on the floor.Leo swallowed hard. "No, we didn’t, Father. The thing is… we were robbed," he lied, his voice shaky. Ruth quickly added, emphasizing, "Yes, we were robbed."Master Russell’s gaze sharpened. "Why didn’t you say so earlier?" he asked, his suspicion evident.Leo hesitated. "We didn’t want to worry you unnecessarily. I was going to see if I can track the thieves later."Greg, standing to the side, looked puzzled, glancing between his parents and his grandfather, wondering if they were telling the truth."Greg!" Master Russell barked, his voice louder. "Did you know about this robbery?"Greg blinked, caught off guard. "Uh… I'm sorry, Grandfather. What did you say?""I asked if you knew about the robbery!" Master Russell repeated, his voice stern.Greg shifted uncomfortably before nodding. "Yes… they mentioned it to me on our

    As Gabriel reached Camella's ward, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He checked the caller ID—Mike. He answered it, his voice steady, “Mike, what's going on?”“Gabriel, I... I’m so sorry about the fire at the supermarket,” Mike stammered, guilt heavy in his tone. “I feel like it’s my fault. I should have been more alert.”Gabriel exhaled slowly, “Mike, it’s not your fault. Don’t beat yourself up over it. Whoever did this will pay, I promise you.”“But Gabriel, the loss is... it’s huge,” Mike continued, his voice thick with worry. “The supermarket was severely damaged. I tried to save the goods, but the fire spread too fast.”Gabriel nodded to himself, feeling the weight of Mike's words but keeping his calm. “Mike, listen to me. I’m not worried about the loss. We can recover from this. I just need to know who did it.”Mike seemed surprised. “You’re not bothered about the loss?”“No,” Gabriel replied firmly. “I just need to know if anyone was hurt.”“No staff got hurt, Gabriel.

    Greg was deep in sleep, his lips curled into a smile as he dreamed of being in charge of his grandfather’s vast business empire. He could almost hear the applause of his colleagues and see the admiration in their eyes. But then, he felt something cold and hard pressing against his forehead. Slowly, he opened his eyes and almost screamed. A gun was pointed at him, held by his grandfather, Master Russell.“You seem to have lied to me when you returned,” Russell’s voice was low, filled with a threatening calm. His eyes were sharp, cold, and unforgiving, fixed on Greg’s face. “Tell me the truth.”Greg blinked rapidly, still waking up from his dream. “I... I didn’t lie, Grandfather,” he stammered, sitting up slowly. “I swear, everything I told you was true.”Russell cocked the gun, his finger hovering over the trigger. Greg’s heart raced. “This is your last chance, boy. What really happened? If you don’t tell me, I will kill you.”Fear gripped Greg, and his voice trembled. “Alright, alrigh

    The next day, Anna strolled confidently into Gabriel's house. She found Camella in the living room, who was surprised to see her but didn't let it show."Hello, Camella. I heard you got discharged yesterday. I hope you're feeling better," Anna said, her voice dripping with exaggerated concern.Camella nodded, her expression guarded. "I'm good.""Great," Anna replied, looking around as if searching for something. Then, she started calling out, her tone playful and slightly flirty, "Gabriel! Gabriel, are you here?"Camella's eyes narrowed. "Why are you calling for Gabriel?" Anna turned to her, a bold look in her eyes. "Why else would I call him if not to see him?"Camella rolled her eyes, annoyed. Before she could respond, Marie, who had overheard the conversation from the kitchen, walked out with a bright smile and hugged Anna warmly."Anna, dear!" Marie greeted. "So nice to see you. You came to visit?""Yes, Aunt Marie," Anna replied, returning the hug. "I wanted to check on Gabriel.

    Inside, Master Russell was lounging on a lavish couch, a large cigar dangling from his lips. The smoke curled lazily in the air around him as he took a deep drag, the tip glowing a fiery red. The man in the uniform approached and bowed low."Someone is here to see you, sir."Russell didn't bother looking up. "Name?"The man hesitated, stammering. "Huh, sorry, sir. I forgot to ask."Russell's eyes flashed with irritation, and he shot the man a deadly stare. The guard quickly turned to leave, but Russell's voice stopped him. “Wait. Is it a young-looking man?""Yes, sir."Russell smirked. "Let him in."He glanced up the stairs briefly, inhaling deeply before releasing a cloud of ash-laden smoke. Gabriel's footsteps echoed loudly as he walked in, coming face to face with Russell."You must know me, Russell Walclaw," Gabriel began, his voice firm.Russell looked him over with a grin. "Ah, boy. You look just like my typical adopted son, Oliver. I know you, Gabriel. To what do I owe this v

    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
