Fredrick wasted no time In calling Don Makul and asking him to come over. His smirk widened as he taunted Gabriel, his voice dripping with malicious satisfaction. "You're in for a treat tonight, Gabriel. Don Makul will make sure you're roasted properly."Gabriel's jaw clenched as he met Fredrick's gaze, his eyes flashing with determination. "We'll see about that," he growled, his voice steely with resolve. "I'm not afraid of Don Makul or anyone else he brings.”Fredrick shook his head in a pitiful manner. “I'm sure you'll be begging me for your life when he arrives."Gabriel's jaw clenched as he glared at Fredrick, his fists tightening at his sides. "We'll see about that," he replied through gritted teeth, his voice a low growl of defiance.Fredrick laughed mockingly, his confidence growing with each passing moment. "You'll regret crossing me, Gabriel," he sneered, his voice dripping with malice.But Gabriel remained unfazed, his gaze steady as he squared his shoulders. "We'll see who
Fredrick gulped in fear, but his bravado resurfaced as he yelled at Don Makul, "Why are you letting this nobody slap you around like kids?"Don Makul glared at Fredrick with a look that could have pierced through him. The tension in the air was palpable.Gabriel sneered and asked Don Makul, "Do you know this man?"Fredrick, emboldened, stepped forward and declared, "He is my man. What gives you the effrontery to slap them?"Gabriel smiled and shook his head slowly. His expression turned icy as he stated with authority, "Because I'm their boss."Fredrick burst into mocking laughter. "You're lying! You're just a fool playing pretend."Don Makul's glare intensified as he snapped, "Silence, Fredrick. Master Gabriel speaks the truth."Fredrick's laughter died in his throat, replaced by a look of utter shock. He stammered, "W-what? No, this can't be true."Gabriel stepped closer to Fredrick, his voice cold and unyielding. "You crossed a line, Fredrick. Consider this your last warning. You d
As the driver drove them home, Gabriel was a bit surprised when Jessie leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "That's your reward for dealing with the bad guy who ruined our car," she said with a beaming smile.Gabriel returned the kiss and apologized, "I'm sorry you had to witness that, sweetheart."Jessie shook her head. "It's alright, Daddy. I enjoyed seeing you dominate." Gabriel chuckled, and she added, "I'm going to be a writer when I grow up, and I'm going to write a book about you titled 'My Superhero is My Daddy.'"Gabriel's heart melted at her words, and he pulled her closer, placing an arm around her shoulders. As he thought of Camella, he asked indirectly, "Promise me you won't tell anyone about what happened today."Jessie nodded, her eyes wide with understanding. "Including Mommy?"Gabriel grinned, patting her face gently. "Including Mommy."After a brief silence, Jessie tugged on his jacket. When he looked at her, he saw a bit of sadness in her eyes. "What are you
Gabriel felt his heart racing unpredictably, having Camella so close to him. It was as if she had felt his racing heart too, which made her lift her head from his chest and gaze up at him.He gently tucked her hair behind her ears and, cupping her face, slowly brought his lips closer to hers. He pecked her lips, teasing her and eliciting a soft moan as she felt the electrifying touch. She couldn't hold back as he stared at her lovingly and pulled him closer, locking her hands around his neck. She pressed her lips against his, prompting him to kiss her fervently and suck her lips intermittently, which intensified her desire.It had been a while since he longed to do this. It was actually the case for both of them. Camella had started regretting how badly she treated him recently because her emotions had gotten the better of her on different occasions. She silently hoped he didn't hold it against her.Gently leading her to the bed, Gabriel made her lie on it while still kissing her. She
Later that morning, Gabriel waited outside a restaurant, sipping coffee and checking his phone. He was waiting for Butler Moore's assistant. Moments later, he saw a woman approaching him. He recognized her from the picture and profile Butler Moore had sent him earlier.She had a graceful, confident stride, her tall and slender figure accentuated by her stylish attire. Her face was striking, with high cheekbones and almond-shaped eyes that held a keen intelligence. Her hair, a cascade of dark waves, framed her face perfectly, and her skin had a warm, glowing tone. Her presence exuded a quiet elegance.Still, in Gabriel's eyes, Camella remained the most beautiful woman on earth.The woman reached him and extended her hand. "Hello, Master. Gabriel. I'm Isabella."Gabriel shook her hand, noting her firm yet gentle grip. "Nice to meet you, Isabella.""I'm sorry for being a bit late," she apologized, her voice smooth and calm.Gabriel nodded, offering a reassuring smile. "It is alright. Ple
Shortly after, Gabriel's phone rang, displaying Camella's name. He answered, "Hey, honey.""Hey, Gabriel," Camella's voice sounded cheerful. "How about we meet up for brunch? There's something I want to discuss.""Sure," Gabriel replied. "Where do you want to meet?"Camella mentioned a familiar restaurant, and Gabriel's heart warmed with nostalgia. "Got it. I'll be there soon."After ending the call, Gabriel instructed the taxi driver to take him to the restaurant. As he arrived, he recognized it immediately – the same place where Camella had dragged him on their first date. A smile tugged at his lips as he remembered how reluctant he had been then, yet it had turned out to be one of the best days of his life.He stepped inside and saw Camella sitting at a corner table, her eyes lighting up as she spotted him. Gabriel approached and took a seat across from her."Hello, beautiful," he greeted, leaning in to kiss her cheek."Hi," she smiled warmly. "Thanks for coming.""How could I say
Gabriel's grip tightened on the phone as memories of Gaganda, a former subordinate who had betrayed Louis, flooded his mind. He was silent for a moment, processing the information before swiftly making a decision."I will handle it," he told Andrei curtly before ending the call.Turning to Isabella, Gabriel relayed the situation. "Isabella, I need you to attend the auction alone. Something urgent has come up, and I have to deal with it."Isabella's brow furrowed with concern. "Is everything okay?"Gabriel offered her a reassuring smile. "Yes, everything will be fine. Just make sure to secure the land at all costs."With a nod, Isabella agreed, though her worry lingered. Gabriel wasted no time, hastily boarding a taxi to address the pressing matter involving Louis and Gaganda.As the taxi sped through the city streets, Gabriel's mind raced with anticipation and concern. He dialed Andrei's number, his voice firm and resolute."Andrei, I need the exact location of the club," Gabriel dema
Gabriel and Andrei arrived at the casino, the air thick with anticipation and tension. Without hesitation, Gabriel accepted the challenge of a dice game with a gambling master, wagering a million in chips.But before they could proceed, Andrei, ever vigilant, intervened. "Let me go first with him," he suggested, his eyes scanning the room for any signs of trouble. Gabriel nodded in agreement and stepped aside, observing the game with a calculated gaze.As the game unfolded, Gabriel kept a watchful eye on the surroundings, his senses sharp and alert. He noted every movement, every whispered conversation, ensuring they weren't walking into a trap.After four swift rounds, Andrei's luck took a turn for the worse. Despite winning one round, he lost all the chips, his expression grim as he acknowledged defeat. Gabriel remained composed, his mind already strategizing their next move.Andrei hesitated, ready to concede defeat and hand over the reins to Gabriel, but Gabriel's quiet insistence
