Back home, Camella's eyes widened in disbelief as Jessie excitedly told her about Gabriel's purchase of the car. "Daddy bought a car today, Mommy! It's so cool!" Jessie exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement.

Camella's shock was palpable as she turned to Gabriel, her expression a mixture of surprise and suspicion. "Where did you get the money for a car, Gabriel?" she asked, her tone tinged with concern.

Gabriel shrugged casually, trying to play it off. "Oh, I won the lottery," he replied nonchalantly, flashing a charming smile.

Camella narrowed her eyes, unconvinced by his answer. "The lottery?" she repeated skeptically. "That's... unexpected."

Jessie looked between her parents, sensing the tension in the air. "Is something wrong, Mommy?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry.

Camella forced a smile, trying to reassure her daughter. "No, sweetie, everything's fine," she said, forcing herself to believe Gabriel's explanation. "I'm just surprised, that's all."

But deep down, Camel

    Camella lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, her mind swirling with frustration and anger. She knew she needed to address the situation with Mark, but she needed time to gather her thoughts and plan her next move. With a heavy sigh, she picked up her phone and dialed her supervisor."Hi, it's Camella," she said, her voice slightly hoarse from the stress of the situation. "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't be able to come in."Her supervisor expressed concern and wished her a speedy recovery before ending the call. Camella lay back on her pillow, feeling a mix of relief and misgiving.Meanwhile, at the Wellington Group's office, Mark and his subordinate, Emily, a seductive woman, went for a meeting with the project manager of the Wellington Group. As they settled into their seats, the project manager inquired about Camella, whom he had arranged the meeting with.Mark's expression darkened, and he shook his head disapprovingly. "Unfortunately, Camella won't be joining us today," he r

"I appreciate the offer, Mark, but I'm afraid I must insist on dealing with Camella directly," he reiterated firmly.Mark's frustration simmered beneath the surface, evident in the hard glint in his eyes as he turned to his subordinate. "You heard the man," he snapped, his tone tinged with irritation. "Looks like we need to up the ante."The subordinate hesitated, sensing Mark's growing impatience. With a resigned sigh, she reluctantly began to comply, slowly starting to remove her clothes in a bid to escalate the seduction to another level.Mark watched her actions with a mix of annoyance and determination, refusing to let this opportunity slip through his fingers.

    Gabriel finalized the purchase of the car and left for the company with it. Andrei whistled appreciatively as Gabriel pulled into the Baigh company parking lot in his sleek new car. "Wow, Gabriel, that's a sweet ride you've got there," he exclaimed, admiring the shiny exterior.Gabriel grinned, enjoying the attention. "Thanks, Andrei. I just picked it up recently."Andrei walked closer, running his hand along the smooth surface. "Looks brand new to me. Must have set you back a pretty penny."Gabriel chuckled, playing along. "Actually, it's secondhand. Got a good deal on it."Andrei raised an eyebrow skeptically. "Second hand? No way. This looks too good to be secondhand."Gabriel shrugged, still grinning. "Well, you know how it is. Sometimes you just get lucky."Andrei nodded, impressed. "Well, lucky you. It's a beauty, regardless." "Thanks, Andrei," Gabriel said, flashing a grateful smile. "I got a good deal on it, didn't spend much."Andrei chuckled. "Well, it looks like a million

    Mark shot the chief security officer a sharp look, urging him to speak up and defend their innocence. With a gulp, the chief security officer cleared his throat and began to vehemently deny the accusations."I swear on my honor that these claims are baseless!" he protested, his voice quivering with a hint of desperation.Mark interjected, his tone firm. "We need to handle this situation calmly and rationally. Resorting to violence is not the solution."But the chief security officer's eyes gleamed with a glint of malice. "If they won't speak the truth willingly, then we must use other means to extract it from them. Take them back to the police station and apply pressure until they crack."Mark recoiled at the suggestion, his expression a mixture of shock and disapproval. "That's not how we operate. We need to find the truth through proper channels, not through coercion."The general manager's gaze shifted between them, his expression grave. "This matter will be thoroughly investigated,

    As the general manager hesitated to respond to their demands, Mark's impatience boiled over, and he slammed his fist on the table. "This is outrageous! Send him away, now!"But before the general manager could utter a word, Mark and the chief security officer unleashed a barrage of insults at Gabriel, their voices rising with each word.Gabriel, weary of their incessant clamor, finally spoke up, his tone cutting through the chaos like a knife. "Enough! Your incessant noise is disrupting this meeting. Let me make one thing clear: I am not here to be belittled by the likes of you."The chief security officer recoiled at Gabriel's sharp words, momentarily stunned into silence. Gabriel's gaze bore into him with a steely resolve, challenging him to speak up again.The general manager's support for Gabriel sent shockwaves through the room, but Mark remained defiant, refusing to back down. "This is outrageous! You can't possibly condone his behavior," Mark spat, his face contorted with anger.

    The chief security officer scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief. "This is absurd! Gabriel, you're just a low-level employee. Don't go around making ridiculous claims."Mark chimed in, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Yeah, Gabriel, I didn't know we had a comedian in our midst. Maybe you should try stand-up instead of pretending to be a shareholder."Before Gabriel could respond, the general manager intervened, his voice commanding attention. "Enough! Gabriel is telling the truth. He is indeed the new shareholder and heir to the Wellington family."The room fell silent as everyone processed the shocking revelation. Andrei, who had just entered, stared at Gabriel in astonishment, his mouth agape.Gabriel remained composed, nodding in confirmation. "That's correct. And as the new biggest shareholder, I intend to take an active role in the company's operations."Mark and the chief security officer exchanged sheepish glances, realizing their mistake. Meanwhile, the general manager contin

    The chief security officer clasped his hands together, his voice trembling with desperation as he continued to plead for mercy. "Please, I beg of you," he implored, his eyes darting between Gabriel and Mark. "It was all Mark's fault. He's the one who—"Mark's temper flared at the accusation, his patience wearing thin as he cut in sharply. "Don't try to shift the blame onto me," he snapped, his words laced with frustration. "You know what you did, and you're the one who—"Gabriel leaned forward in his chair, a gleam of excitement dancing in his eyes as he watched the drama unfold before him. "Ah, the blame game," he remarked, his voice tinged with amusement. "Such a fascinating display of human nature."The chief security officer and Mark exchanged heated words, each refusing to back down as they sought to absolve themselves of guilt while simultaneously pointing fingers at the other. Gabriel reclined in his seat, thoroughly entertained by the spectacle playing out before him. After al

    Camella's footsteps faltered as she approached the company's entrance, her eyes widening in surprise at the sight before her. Mark and the chief security officer knelt on the ground, their heads bowed in contrition.Confusion clouded Camella's features as she listened to their apologies, her mind racing to make sense of their sudden change in behavior. "I don't understand," she admitted, her voice tinged with disbelief. "What's going on?"Mark looked up, his expression pained as he met Camella's gaze. "We owe you an apology," he began, his voice heavy with regret. "We accused you falsely, and for that, we are truly sorry."The chief security officer nodded in agreement, his own guilt evident in his downcast eyes. "It was a mistake," he confessed, his voice filled with remorse. "We let our emotions cloud our judgment."Camella's brow furrowed in confusion, unable to comprehend the sudden change in their behavior.

    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.

    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
