Gabriel held his breath back for a while before releasing it, then knocked on Bob's room door.
"Sir, what can I do for you?" Bob asked when he opened the door and saw his young master.
"We need to talk!" Gabriel coldly said.
Bob swallowed his spit as he stared at the serious expression on his young master's face.
"May I ask what we need to talk about?" Bob inquired.
"It's not a topic that should get discussed in front of a room door." Gabriel replied as he waited on his butler to let him inside.
"I am sorry, sir. Please come in."
"Thanks."
The two men headed into the bedroom, and Bob hurriedly shut the door before rejoining with his young master.
For a brief moment, Gabriel paced back and forth as he surveyed Bob's room. He then took a seat on the couch when he got through.

The next morning, the villa was calm, and everything went on as usual. However, everyone that works within the walls of Gabriel could feel the change in both Selena and Gabriel.Breakfast was quieter than other mornings, and the way Selena and Gabriel avoided eye contact with each other was quite noticeable. "You all can leave." Gabriel commanded.No other words got spoken as the workers left Selena and Gabriel alone at the dining table.'What now?' Selena thought as she bit into her toast and pretended as though she was not bugged by how empty and quiet the room had become."I have assigned new bodyguards to protect you. I don't want what happened last night to happen again." Gabriel said."Why? Do you hate having sex with me that bad?" Selena mumbled."What? No! I am not referring to what we did last night. I fired them because they allowed you to get hurt!" "They did nothing. It was all my fault, and Mathew and Craig don't need to suffer for my error. So I don't need new bodygua
Guss did not make a sound or speak a word as the anger expressed on Gabriel's face grew more intense.He knew that expression too well, and he understood that whenever Gabriel's grimace became that way, someone was going to spill blood."Guss, I need Jin at our black site within the next twenty-four hours!" Gabriel coldly commanded.Guss hesitated to reply at first since he did not want to offend Gabriel, but he also knew that the possibility of him accomplishing such a task was quite slim."Mila may be a base omega on the outside, but she's a cold murderer on the inside. With the kinds of activities she's secretly involved in, I am sure that she had made a lot of enemies for herself, and she has her best men watching and protecting her daughter. So twenty-four hours is going to be too risky for such a mission, sir." Guss explained in fear.Gabriel dropped the camera on the desk, and it made a
It took Selena a while to come through from the shock Gabriel's statement had caused her and seeing that he was not kidding made Selena even more confused."You don't need to take responsibility for me. Okay, let's pretend like last night never happened and move on with our lives like before." Selena said."Is that how you truly feel?" Gabriel asked."Yes!""I don't believe it, and I know you don't either.""So what, I may not feel that way, but I think it, and right now, I trust my mind more than my heart."She wished these words had never come out of her mouth. But Selena could not stop herself since she wanted Gabriel to hurt as much as she was suffering, and although Selena hated herself for feeling this way, she could not help it."What's wrong with you? Last night happened, and I don't regret it." Gabriel said out of anger.&
Gabriel knew what was about to happen next after Selena's statement, and the minute she angrily took Gabriel's coat off, Gabriel hurriedly pulled Selena into his arms and pressed her head against his chest as his clothes fell to the ground.The difference between Selena and Gabriel's height shielded Selena from being spotted by the reporters."Please, Omega. Can you please hold on just a bit longer?" Gabriel asked."Mr. Balkan, whose's your lady friend?" A reporter asked as he approached Selena and Gabriel.He had just arrived with his news crew and could not get a big scoop. Other reporters were signaling him to stop with his question and walk away. However, he had his eyes on this big promotion at his job and saw this opportunity as his golden ticket."Keep your head against my chest." Gabriel whispered.Selena did as she got told since she could hear
Selena woke up the next morning in Gabriel's arms. She could feel the weight of his manly hand around her body. Selena slowly tried to remove from under his hand, but Gabriel suddenly grabbed her body tightly."'Give me five more minutes." Gabriel mumbled before he gently pressed his lips against her hair.Selena became quiet and made no further movement as she relaxed and allowed Gabriel to continue holding onto her."You smell like strawberries." Gabriel softly mumbled."You can continue sleeping. I am going to head out." Selena shyly whispered."I don't want five minutes for me to rest. I meant five minutes of holding you like this.""Gabriel."Selena could feel his warm hands lying against her stomach, and she could not handle all of this affection, so out of shyness, she pushed Gabriel's hands off her, jumped out of bed, rushed from in the room, and
Selena waited for Joe to continue with his statement because she did not know what to say, and seeing how nervous he looked, Selena did not want to say something that may scare him from speaking."So, you got married to Gabriel." Joe said.He thought it was best to start with a mutual conversation before letting Selena know about the truth."Wait, how did you know that information?" Selena hastily asked.It did not disturb her that Mathew, Rose, and Craig knew that she and Gabriel had wed each other since they were his workers, but finding out that Joe knew also had Selena bothered."Haven't you seen the news?" Joe asked out of confusion.For a moment, Selena's eyes searched the table for her phone before realizing that Gabriel still had it."Well, someone made it their job to take away my phone, and now, everyone seems to know something
When Selena picked up the folder from on the desk and opened it, she felt sick to her stomach. All the horror from that night came rushing back, and it sent a piercing pain to her head.Selena was staring at images she had strived her best to forget, and that caused her to panic inside. But on the outside, she suppressed all her traumatic emotions and lifted her head in pride."So what? Who hasn't messed around before?" Selena coldly asked.The shock expressed on the board member's face was indescribable. They expected these photos to break Selena and bring her to tears. But the bossy expression on her face stated otherwise."You! How shameless are you? Plead for the board's forgiveness and resign from your position this instant!" Liam screamed.He has been silent for a while since he was waiting for his daughter to apologize and acknowledge her wrong. But seeing how
Selena walked into her office and slammed the door in Gabriel's face, but that did not stop him from coming in after her. She stared at him with so much rage in her eyes."Why do everything about you and me have to be some hurtful mistake that fate brought our way?" Selena screamed as she finally allowed her tears to flow."Selena," Gabriel mumbled.He lacked the words to comfort her even though he knew exactly how she felt. Although this was not their first argument or the first time he had seen her cry, this moment was different from the other in the sense that he wanted so badly to take away her hurt, so he wouldn't have to feel her brokenness."Stop calling my damn name and say something else?""Tell me what you want me to say that's going to make you feel better, and I will." Gabriel softly said.He had never felt so helpless in a situation before.
