“W-why did you rip it?!” Sabrina rushed towards him and gathered all the pieces of papers from him. “I don't want to work here anymore!” she exclaimed. Gabriel stared at her angry face. He felt no remorse for what he had just done. His lips tugged upward, “You can't leave yet,” he said. “I want to leave this company! You can't force me to stay!” Sabrina retorted. Leaning back, he folded his arms and raised his eyebrows while grinning at her, “You signed a contract. It's either you pay or we will sue you for breaching the contract..” His lips stretched widely upon seeing her pretty face turned pale. He knew she didn't have enough money to pay and although her father could afford that, he was certain she wouldn't ask him for help. Tilting his head, he watched her intently and waited for her response. But as he expected, she looked at him indignantly and exclaimed, “How much? I’ll pay you!” “Two hundred thousand,” he said curtly. She gasped loudly. “That's too much! I'm just an
Gabriel forcedly pushed Elizabeth and harshly wiped his mouth. “What the fvck you’re doing here?!” He spat. Standing up, he looked down on her and threw her a deadly glare while she was slumped on the ground. “Why did you push me? That hurts!” Elizabeth complained. “Leave,” he ordered sternly. “Help me. I think I sprained my ankle,” she said then just stayed on the floor like a paralyzed person. He clicked his tongue and just walked past her. “Gabriel, wait for me!” He opened the door and saw his secretary, Janette standing there with a shocked and nervous expression. “I’m sorry, Sir. Miss just walked straight and opened the door–”“Call the security and throw that woman out of this building,” he said coldly, cutting Janette off. His eyes squinted when he saw his secretary’s eyes glimmered. But she quickly pressed her lips and took the phone to call the security. Harold then rushed to him, “Everyone’s in the meeting room, Sir,” he informed. Without saying anything, he walke
“Where have you been?” Nathalia's chirpy voice echoes in the office. She stood there with arms crossed as if she was the new boss who was scolding her employee with fake eyebrows arched. Sabrina was not shocked, but was actually in disbelief. The woman just got engaged to Anthon who had just been promoted as their new manager but she was suddenly acting all high. Raising her eyebrows, she just rolled her eyes and walked past her. “I’m still talking to you! Don't you dare ignore me!” Nathalia grabbed her arm and forced her to face her. “Where have you been?” She repeated her question. Yanking her hand, she then let out a heavy sigh, “The HR manager gave me some errands,” she replied sternly. “What errands?” Nathalia narrowed her eyes. “Don’t tell me she asked you to go to the top floor and meet our new boss?” She asked sarcastically. She was about to say yes, when suddenly Anthon’s voice erupted in the office. “What’s happening here?!” The guy gave her a sharp look while pullin
She immediately wheeled her swivel chair around and gasped loudly upon seeing Gabriel standing there with a solemn look. Nervously, she looked around and found out that everyone in the office, including Nathalia who was sitting right next to her, were all looking at her with shock, confusion and envy in their eyes. Pursing her lips, she turned to Gabriel and abruptly stood up, “Sir..” she mumbled as she lowered her head. A long silence stretched as the CEO did not respond. Her gaze fixated on his shoes as if she was more interested in it than to know what he wanted from her. “Come to my office,” Gabriel finally said, breaking the awkward silence. Her eyebrows knitted together as she lifted her head. Their eyes met and in an instant, her heart pumped wildly. She wanted to ask why but before she could open her mouth, Gabriel already turned away and left without waiting for her response. Her gaze followed him until he disappeared from her sight. Immobile, her mind was in chaos and
Sabrina's eyes narrowed. Clearly, it was a different woman from earlier. ‘Is that guy a notorious womanizer?’ she thought. Clutching the hem of her shirt, she tilted her head and seized up with the woman. “I’m Sabrina,” she said curtly. Meanwhile, the woman lifted her chin while glaring at her. “Sir Gabriel doesn't have any appointment today and I know you didn't have one either. Leave or I'll call the security” ‘Sir’ That's the only word she heard and as though something clicked in her mind, her eyes lit up at the thought that she's the secretary. She couldn't help but smile as she calmly explained, “I’m actually told by the CEO to come to his office,” she said a little cheerfully, thinking that the woman would finally allow her to get in. However, it didn't happen, but rather, she gave her a sharp look as though she could sense her lies. “Sir Gabriel strictly ordered not to allow any woman to enter his office,” she stated sternly. Speechless, she stared at the woman for a l
Her eyes were about to pop out of its socket as she stared at his blue orbs. She sat there frozen, feeling every fiber of her body tingles as his lips moved gently. It was as if her world just stopped and mind forgot to stop working. All she could see was his bright blue eyes dancing, staring back at her. “I hope you're calm now,” he said as he slowly pulled away. She didn't move, nor blinked her eyes. She just gawked at him with her lips slightly parted. “Want some more?” he queried in a low and hoarse voice. It felt like she was splashed by a bucket of ice cold water above her head upon hearing him. Instantly, she snapped out of her trance and stared at him incredulously. “W-what m-more?” she asked innocently. Gabriel chuckled. And for some reason, she felt her cheeks were burning after hearing that manly chuckle again. It sounded sexy that her thoughts instantly went back to that time where she woke up in his room and saw him wearing only a towel that was d
“Read it,” Gabriel commanded. Sabrina stared at the paper. Her eyes deeply furrowed. “What’s that?” She queried. Gabriel sat on his swivel chair before he grabbed the paper and handed it to her, “You want to resign because of Mr Fuego, right?” He muttered in a calm voice. She gaped at him, eyes went round and jaw almost dropped on the floor. “H-how..” she stammered. Her heart was beating so loud while upon watching him grinning at her knowingly. “I’m the CEO, I know everything that is happening in my company,” he stated casually. The words stuck in her throat as she swallowed hard. Her hands felt cold as she fidgeted. ‘What should I do now?’ she thought nervously. She averted her gaze and looked at the locked door. Suddenly, she thought of just running away and going home. “You can’t leave until I say so,” he suddenly said as though he could read her mind. Her lips twisted and immediately lowered her gaze, feeling guilty at the thought of escaping. “Take this and read,” h
She doesn’t curse but she couldn't help it. That video she was watching was making her head hurt as she could not remember doing that. “How did you manage to edit my face on that video?!” She pointed at the screen while glaring at Gabriel. “That's illegal! I can sue you for putting my face there!” She screamed, quite hysterically.However, Gabriel just chuckled, “Still in denial? I have more videos,” A sly smirk then plastered on his handsome face. As soon as he said that, another video started and that was the time when she was still sober. It was as if she was splashed by a bucket of cold ice, her body shivered. Then her memory from that day miraculously went back vividly where a nosy guy was trying to stop her from getting another glass when she was just a little tipsy. With round eyes and mouth open, she stared at Gabriel and pointed at him with her index finger. “Y-you?” She stammered. Stunned, she looked at him with a face drained with blood as if she saw a ghost. “You fin
Sabrina frowned as her gaze landed on the newcomers. Her body froze upon seeing the woman strutting confidently towards them. Although she just saw her once, Sabrina couldn’t be mistaken and was very certain that it was the same woman who was rumored to be Gabriel’s fiancèe. ‘What is she doing here?!’ her mind was screaming. “What are you doing here?” Gabriel repeated the question in her head. Sabrina glanced at her husband and saw him looking genuinely surprised as well.It must be too shallow of her, but knowing that he as well did expect the woman to come there made her feel a little relieved, for some reason. “I’m here to visit you,” the woman smiled, “I hope you don't mind that I brought my friends as well” “Nice to see you again, Eli,” Joseph spoke before Gabriel could respond. Sabrina couldn’t help but narrowed her eyes on her husband. As far as she could remember, he said that the woman was his childhood friend and a crazy one. But that’s it. He didn’t explain why ther
“Sabrina!” Gabriel abruptly stood up and ran towards her. Meanwhile, Sabrina stood there frozen, still processing what she had just witnessed. Her eyes and mouth were wide open as she stared at her husband in bewilderment. “Y-you. . .g-gay?” she stuttered, suddenly forgetting to speak properly. Gabriel's face darkened. Immediately, she stepped back, thinking that his reaction was a confirmation and he was mad because she discovered his darkest secret. ‘No wonder he didn't want anything!’ she thought. “You must be the wife,” the unknown guy stood up and extended his hand, “We’ve finally met. Gabriel never mentioned you, so I don't know anything about you..” he said in a very serious voice. Sabrina did not move. She stood there like a statue and just stared at Joseph. He was equally as handsome as Gabriel, both intimidating. However, he seemed to be on a lighter side while Gabriel looked mysterious and overwhelming. They have the same physique as well but her husband was a few
Gabriel grinned when he felt her kiss him back right away. He shut his eyes and deepened the kiss, at the same time, the heat on his body ignited as if it fueled the desire he was suppressing. “W-wait..” Sabrina mumbled. “Hmm?” he hummed but instead of stopping, his kisses lowered down her neck. That made Sabrina gasped and he felt her nails dug into his shoulders. Gabriel was already losing his control. Her sweet and floral smell plus the taste of her skin were intoxicating. Grunting, he bit her neck and was about to suck it when suddenly, soft knocks and his butler’s voice echoed through from the outside of the room. “Young Master, I’m sorry for disturbing you but, you have a visitor”Sabrina immediately pushed him away in shock. Gabriel laid on the bed and groaned in annoyance. Whoever that visitor, he hoped that person had a very important reason for coming. “I’m going to the bathroom now,” Sabrina hastily stood up and ran to the bathroom.Gabriel’s jaw clenched as he wat
Sabrina wanted to be swallowed by the ground. Her cheeks were burning and she was sure her face was like strawberries. Collective giggles filled the air, reminding Sabrina that dozens of servants were still lined up in front of them. Instinctively, she hid behind Gabriel and clutched his shirt. Her eyebrows deeply furrowed when she heard Gabriel chuckled. “Do you wanna go to our room now?” re queried. Without hesitation, she quickly replied. “Yes!” Gabriel took her hand while laughing. With her head low, they walked past the servants and went to the master bedroom. It was the same room she woke up in that day, but she was just not sure if something had changed for she didn't really look around that much then, as she was too distracted by Gabriel. Sabrina took her time and examined each corner of the room. Despite having a king size bed and a sofa set, the room still looked spacious that her room seemed like a dog house if she compared. On the left, there's a closed door, that
“What's your plan today?” Tomas queried over breakfast. Sabrina did not answer and automatically looked at Gabriel. But her eyebrows instantly furrowed remembering how he just left her in her room after changing into decent clothes. ‘Did he see me gawking at his body?’ she thought. She shut her eyes and shook her head. She didn't gawk at his body! Her eyes just automatically followed his hands when he fixed the towel around his tiny waist. “Are you okay, Sab?” Marie inquired. Sabrina’s eyes widened, she awkwardly smiled. “O-of course, Auntie,” she chirped. Then she quickly looked down on her plate and stabbed the sausage with her fork with such force. Sabrina could hear Gabriel chuckling next to her, but she just ignored him and bit the sausage like she was starved for days. Fortunately, her parents didn’t fry although she could feel her stepmother's stare on her. Sabrina had no idea why she felt so annoyed. It was so unusual of her to feel upset over something she didn't kn
Sabrina's eyes were about to pop out of its sockets whilst her jaw almost dropped on the floor. “W-w-what?!” she exclaimed. Gabriel loved her reaction so much that he couldn't suppress his chuckles. “I always sleep naked. I'm not used to sleeping on the hard surface so at least let me sleep comfortably”Sabrina gawked at him as though she saw a ghost. Her mouth kept opening and closing like a fish who got out of the water, unable to coherent a word. “But I'm not forcing you to agree. If you're not comfortable with me sleeping naked on the floor, just let me sleep here beside you..” “No!” she quickly retorted. “No?” his thick eyebrows raised. Sabrina shook her head. “No to both!” she muttered indignantly. “This is my room. My word is the rule here. If you want to sleep here, follow what I want or sleep in the guestroom!” Her face was still red but from the way she glared at him, Gabriel knew she was really mad already. Gabriel was not a jerk who would push her to the edge just
The smile on Gabriel's face became permanent. He couldn't help it. His wife was too cute and adorable. “Who told you that you can sleep in my room?” Sabrina frowned. Her pretty face was all shades of red, but her cheeks were more prominent like of a tomato. He chuckled. “Dad, who else? And it shouldn't be a big deal because we're ‘legally’ married,” he answered, emphasizing the word ‘legally’. “I don't want you to sleep in my room!” He nodded with a smile. “I’m serious! You go downstairs and sleep in the guestroom!” she pointed to the staircase while throwing him a deadly glare. But unknown to Sabrina, the more she gets mad and tries to look intimidating, the cuter she became in Gabriel's eyes. “But you're my wife. If I sleep in the guestroom, you should too. Wherever the husband's sleep, the wife should be on his side..” he shrugged. “But we’re not real–” “It’s in the contract,” he immediately cut her off. Her lips pressed together tightly before she turned around. The
Sabrina felt all her blood from her face get drained seeing her stepmother’s reaction. She had not told her the details of her break up with Anthon and now this. “Let me explain, Auntie..” she muttered nervously. She cannot afford to hurt her. She’s like a real mother to her, thus, she didn’t know what she would do if her Aunt Marie started hating her. “When did you two got married?” AUnt Marie’s eyes squinted. Twisting her lips, Sabrina didn’t know how to answer her.“Just. . .three days ago,” Gabriel answered on her behalf. Her head snapped at him and wanted to scold him, but her stepmother’s voice caught her attention. “Three days?!” Marie exclaimed again. She sounded offended which made Sabrina’s heart tightened. “Why didn’t you invite me?!” Blinking several times, Sabrina stared at her Aunt Marie as if she said an alien language. Then, her attention shifted to her father when she heard him bursted laughing again. “Your Aunt dreamed of walking with you to the altar with
Sabrina quickly pulled Gabriel's arms off her and looked at her stepmother with a horrified look. “Is that why you two broke up?” Aunt Marie asked, looking scandalized at what she had witnessed. Guilt crawled Sabrina's skin as she hadn't said anything to her stepmother. She knew her Aunt Marie had a lot of questions, especially when Anthon went there to accuse her of theft and took her back to the office with the company’s legal team. “Sabrina didn't cheat,” Gabriel interfered. He then took Sabrina's hand and intertwined their fingers as he continued, “She's the one got cheated on by that scumbag” Sabrina stared at their interlaced fingers. His hand was huge compared to hers and it was warm that miraculously made her feel at ease the moment their palms touched. “Is that true, Sabrina?” Twisting her lips, Sabrina slowly nodded, “Sorry, Auntie. I didn't tell you..” With eyes brimming with tears, she stared at her stepmother guiltily. She didn't mean to keep it from her. It just
