After a while, the butler's expression softened, reflecting a mix of understanding and concern. "The truth will reveal itself in due time, Master Gabriel," he reassured, his voice steady. "For now, it's crucial that you adhere to your father's wishes and maintain discretion about your family background."Gabriel nodded slowly, though his mind was still clouded with uncertainty. "I understand," he conceded, his tone resigned. "But I can't shake the feeling that there's more to this than meets the eye."Butler Moore offered a sympathetic smile.

Relentless, Camella insisted on going with Gabriel but he refused again, saying it's best she stays back. His firm refusal made her upset because she felt he was trying to keep her and their daughter away from his family. She got out of the bed, frowning. "I just don't understand why you're shutting us out, Gabriel," Camella protested, frustration evident in her voice as she paced back and forth in their bedroom. "You're going to your family's home tomorrow, and you won't even let us come with you. Are you trying to keep us away from them?"Gabriel sighed, running a hand through his hair as he tried to find the right words to explain himself. "It's not about keeping you away, Camella," he insisted, his tone gentle but firm. "There are things I need to sort out with my family, and I don't want to drag you and Jessie into it."Camella stopped pacing, her expression softening slightly as she looked at Gabriel. "But we're a family, Gabriel," she argued, her voice tinged with hurt. "We sh

Gabriel's world seemed to shatter around him as the steward's words sunk in. “This is all true?" he repeated, his voice barely above a whisper.Steward Baker nodded gravely. "Yes, Master Gabriel. Your father went to great lengths to conceal your true identity from his family. He feared they would use you as a pawn in their power struggles."Gabriel felt a surge of anger and betrayal welling up inside him. "And my mother... her death was orchestrated by them too?" he demanded, his voice trembling with emotion.The steward's expression was pained as he confirmed Gabriel's worst fears.
