Russell Walclaw sat in his grand study room, thick cigar smoke swirling around him. He leaned back in his leather chair, a satisfied grin playing on his lips as he talked to his grandson, Greg.

"I can’t wait for Jarod to finish the job. Once he gets me all of Gabriel’s wealth, I will finish Gabriel and his entire family for good."

Greg chuckled, raising his glass. "You’ve really thought of everything, grandfather. No loose ends. No one will see it coming."

Russell nodded, clearly pleased with himself. "That’s the beauty of it, Greg. We get the fortune, and the Walclaw legacy is secured for generations. Gabriel’s been a thorn in my side for too long. It's time to remove him permanently."

They clinked glasses in a toast, both of them savoring the moment. Outside the door, Ruth stood frozen, her heart pounding in disbelief. She had overheard the entire conversation. Her father-in-law, Russell, plotting to destroy Gabriel, and worse, her own son was involved. How had this happened under

    Gabriel stormed into the room, his eyes filled with rage. Without a word, he rushed at Jarod, grabbing him by the collar and delivering a fierce punch to his jaw. Camella, still in shock, quickly wrapped the duvet around her body, her eyes wide as she looked between the two men. The resemblance was uncanny—both of them looked exactly the same. She couldn’t believe what she was witnessing.Gabriel didn’t stop. He punched Jarod again, sending him stumbling back. “You imposter!” Gabriel growled, his voice filled with anger. “You’ve been pretending to be me!”Jarod held his hands up in defense, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. “No! Don’t believe him, Camella! He’s the imposter! I’m Gabriel! I’m your husband!” He struggled to get the words out, his eyes pleading with her.Camella's head spun as she watched both men. She couldn’t tell who was telling the truth. They both looked the same, and her heart raced in confusion.“Look at him, Camella! He’s desperate,” Gabriel said, hi

    Zoe stepped back into the house, Gabriel right behind her. The moment Camella saw him, her heart raced, and she barely contained herself. "Gabriel," she mumbled, running toward him. She threw her arms around him, sobbing into his chest. The warmth, the familiarity, it was all there. This was her real husband, not the imposter she'd lived with for weeks. Relief washed over her.Gabriel held her tightly, his arms strong and comforting. "I'm here now," he whispered, soothing her. She felt the connection between them, stronger than ever, filling her with immense joy.Across the room, Marie, Oliver, and Anna stood in shock. They exchanged uneasy glances, their minds racing. How had they all been fooled by an imposter?Oliver finally broke the silence, running a hand through his gray hair. "I can't believe we let this happen... How did none of us notice?"Marie, looking flustered, sighed deeply. "It's my fault. I pampered him. I thought he was stressed from work and gave him space… too muc

    The tension in the air was thick as Russell Walclaw, sitting in his oversized chair, growled, “Finish him off!” His deep voice echoed through the dimly lit room, making Gabriel's pulse quicken. The guards, six men built like mountains, advanced toward Gabriel with menacing grins. "Tear him to pieces!" Greg added, a sneer twisting his lips as he watched.Gabriel stood his ground, scanning the men around him. They were all at least twice his size, their bulging muscles dwarfing him. He looked like an ant in comparison. Desperate, he lashed out first, kicking one of the guards in the gut. But the man barely flinched, grinning down at him before delivering a slap that sent Gabriel stumbling backward."This is hopeless," Gabriel muttered under his breath, steadying himself. Another guard, as big as an elephant, grabbed him by the arm and hurled him toward the wall. Gabriel’s body hit the cold concrete with a sickening thud, and he crumpled to the ground, coughing up blood. His vision blu

    Tamara glared up at the old man, her eyes blazing with fury. “This isn’t over, Russell. You won’t win.” Russell said nothing, his once victorious smirk fading into uncertainty as Gabriel began to come back to life, supported by Tamara’s power. But suddenly, Gabriel felt drained. He lay there with a racing heart, his vision blurring as the chaos around him blurred and sharpened. He felt as if he was slipping, losing control over his mind and body. Tamara’s powers ought to have worked on him, but now, it was as though they were ineffective. He felt weaker by the second despite how he was coming up a second ago. Tamara, looking puzzled, reached out to him with a trembling hand, her energy faltering as well. She couldn’t understand why her abilities weren’t restoring him. Fear gripped her heart.Master Russell, seeing Gabriel slipping out again, smirked. He moved toward Tamara swiftly, grabbing her by the arm with force. "Well, isn’t this pathetic enough?" Russell sneered, his voice l

    Tamara studied him for a moment before replying, her tone thoughtful. "Gabriel, you’re a descendant of the Sapphira. You have powers—magic, inherited from your father's lineage. It’s from your grandmother.""What?" His voice was barely above a whisper. "How’s that possible?""Your father never told you," she continued. "You need to ask him. There are things he must have kept hidden, things you deserve to know."Gabriel's confusion deepened. "I don't understand. What else has been kept from me?"Tamara sighed. "There's more to your life than you realize. You need answers."Their eyes locked as the weight of her words sank in.Tamara stepped closer, her eyes narrowing as she spoke. “Let me tell you this — there might be a bigger war ahead of you. First, confirm your originality.”Gabriel blinked, confused by her cryptic words. As Tamara turned to leave, he quickly called after her, "Where are you going?"She shrugged without looking back. "Anywhere. I don't know."Gabriel frowned, still

    Marie, looking intrigued and worried, leaned forward slightly. "Gone?" she whispered, glancing cautiously at Jessie. "You mean… dead?"Gabriel nodded, his face grim. "And his accomplice—his grandson—will pay for his crimes too, in jail. Just like Jarod."A silence hung in the room as Gabriel’s words settled in. Jessie looked between the adults, unsure of the heavy tension.Oliver leaned closer, his voice barely above a whisper, “How much do you really know about Russell’s dealings, Gabriel?”Gabriel's eyes flickered, an unreadable expression crossing his face. The room seemed to grow colder as if they were on the brink of uncovering a dark secret. His voice was low but steady. “Russell Walclaw is involved in things most people wouldn’t even believe.” He paused, glancing at their shocked faces. “He’s been operating in the capital, running illegal trades, laundering money, and silencing anyone who tries to stand against him. And somehow, he’s always managed to slip away, untouched by t

    Camella returned home earlier than usual, around 1 p.m., her heart light with excitement. She was going to surprise Gabriel with his favorite lunch—roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, and a special salad. He had been away for some days, and though it wasn't unusual for his business to keep him out of town, this time felt like centuries to her. Her mind was clouded with everything that had happened before, but today, she wanted to focus on the good things.As she chopped the vegetables and stirred the sauce, the aroma began filling every corner of the house. She smiled to herself, imagining Gabriel's reaction when he walked in and saw the spread. It was a small gesture, but she knew how much he loved her cooking.Suddenly, she felt a presence. She turned and noticed Anna standing in the doorway, arms folded, watching her quietly. Camella chose to ignore her, turning back to her cooking."You're making food?" Anna’s voice broke the silence, her tone hinting at sarcasm.Camella continued c

    Gabriel’s eyes widened in surprise, and Anna took advantage of his shock before he could fully react. She moved closer, leaning in to kiss him, but Gabriel grabbed her shoulders, gently pushing her back."Stop it, Anna!" His voice was firm, both amazed and upset by her actions.Anna blinked, confused. "What? I said I love you.""I heard you," Gabriel replied, his tone soft but persistent. "But I'm sorry, I don’t feel the same way."Anna’s face twisted with disbelief. She has never expected an outright rejection. "No, no… that can’t be true."Gabriel sighed, trying to be as gentle as possible. "It’s the truth. I’ve never thought of you in that way. What I feel for you is more like agape love. Pure and selfless, but not romantic."Tears welled up in Anna’s eyes. "Why? What does Camella have that I don’t? Is it because of Jessie?"Gabriel shook his head. "No, it's not about that. I truly love Camella. I always have, and I always will. No one can take her place in my heart."Anna's voice

    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
