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.
Selena's eyelids lifted, and she saw Gabriel staring at her with an affectionate smile on his face."Good morning." Gabriel whispered."Morning." Selena calmly said with a soft smile as she focused on his eyes.Gabriel gently tapped Selena's nose, and when she smiled, he could not stop himself from softly kissing her."What was that for?" Selena mumbled out of shyness."You are just so adorable, and I couldn't stop myself." Gabriel teased.Selena giggled before rolling off his arm and getting out of bed. She then headed into the bathroom."What are you doing?" Gabriel asked a minute later as he stood in the bathroom doorway, leaning against the frame."Getting ready for work." Selena said while putting toothpaste on her toothbrush.Gabriel left the doorway and approached Selena, then hugged from h
The moment Mila stepped into the room, Selena's entire expression changed. Her eyes became as cold as ice, and her mood had swifted from adorable to savage. “I don’t recall requesting for you, and we sure don’t have any business together. So, why are you here?” Selena coldly stated. Mila walked towards the desk with a calm appearance and took a seat. “Can’t an aunt visit her niece?” Mila asked without blinking her eyelashes. Selena felt like laughing at her aunt‘s statement till her side hurt. But she remained composed since she knew that Mila was a tricky Fox, and the least mistake you make, she will strike. “Quit the bullcrap, and state your reason for walking into my office, or else get out!” Selena harshly said without any remorse. “You were so innocent back then. But now, when I look at you, I see a ticking time bomb ready t
Selena came home a bit earlier because she wanted to fix things with Gabriel before it escalated into a messy situation.Selena dropped her bag on the living room couch, then headed into the kitchen."Madam, what are you doing here?" Lily asked out of shock.The other maids seemed confused when they saw Selena standing at the kitchen entrance."Hey, guys." Selena gently said."Hello, madam." They all replied together."Lily, do you know Gabriel's favorite food?" Selena asked as she walked further into the kitchen."Spaghetti with Lobster Pomodoro." Lily said."Can you guys teach me how to make it?" Selena asked.She felt a bit embarrassed. But since it was for a good cause, she did not mind that much."What?" Lily softly asked with fear in her eyes.
"Sir, a birthday party is not an excellent idea." Guss said while holding back his anger.Though he had been trying to convince Gabriel for days not to host Selena's birthday party with no success, he thought to give it one last try since tomorrow was the day."Guss, if you have a short-term memory, then resign because I don't need an incompetent worker. You have repeated this statement for exactly six days straight, and yet my decision remains the same. The party must go on." Gabriel replied.Guss paced back and forth as he stared at his young master, ignoring him as Gabriel's eyes remained focused on his computer screen."Sir, what about Mila? I informed you days ago that she met with the Bloody Tears gang. These alphas are lawless and despicable. Whatever Mila visited was about can not be great for you or madam. Please think this through, boss." Guss explained with frustration in his eyes.
