Sabrina froze.Her heart suddenly beating erratically. “Pregnant?” she breathed.The two men looked up to her direction as she said it loud enough for them to hear what she had just said. “Why did you go down? Do you need anything?” Gabriel quickly stood up and rushed to the stairs. Sabrina's eyebrows deeply furrowed. She watched him and waited until he finally reached her. “Who's pregnant?" she queried. Certainly it can't be her because she's been taking pregnancy pills. “No one,” Gabriel answered. She tilted her head as she frowned at him. “Who is he talking about that might be pregnant?” she inquired while pointing at Vince who was downstairs. Gabriel pressed his lips while shaking his head. He took her hand and interlaced their fingers as he supported her from going down the stairs.“He’s talking about his girlfriend,” he muttered. Vince, who was drinking on the sofa, suddenly coughed.Sabrina quickly glanced at his direction and their gazes met. Vince then cleared his thr
“What?! I said I'm fine! There's no need to go to the hospital!” Sabrina insisted. But Gabriel played deaf ears and just continued walking until they exited the building. “Gab,” she called. “You need to have a check up,” he said firmly. But Sabrina didn't want to go to the hospital. Not because she was scared for whatever result it might be but because she was scared of the injection. Usually, check up means they were going to draw blood and for the to be able to take blood from her, they had to use injection“No! I'm okay. I just need to sleep. Don't bother taking me there because you're just going to waste your time and money,” she refused adamantly. Gabriel halted from walking in front of his car which was unceremoniously parked just in front of the entrance. Then, he looked down on her with those suspicious stare. “I swear I'm okay. You can put me down now and see that I can stand on my own,” she said, desperately convincing him. Sabrina even lifted her hand like taking an
“Who's that?” Vince queried. Gabriel stared at the screen of his phone with his eyebrows deeply furrowed. “Why don't you answer it?” his sister asked as his phone continued ringing. His jaw clenched, not feeling good about the sudden call. But curiosity got the best of him which made him finally answer the call. “What do you want?” he queried with his stern voice. There was a heavy sigh from the other line. Gabriel tightened his hold on his mobile phone, feeling impatient. If it's something about his wife, Jacob should tell it to him immediately and not waste a second. “Your wife passed out,” the caller finally said from the other line. Gabriel froze. He was not able to react immediately as it was not what he was expecting at all. “Where is she?” he hissed whilst the phone almost crushed from his tight hold. “She's here in my office,” Jacob answered. “Who are you calling?” Gabriel heard a woman's voice from the background. He couldn't be wrong as he k
Gabriel's eyes turned into a slit. The word ‘obsessed’ was too much. He was not like that and he didn't think he would ever be. Vince was lucky he was his cousin or else, he had punched him in his face already. “I don't think Gab is obsessed..” Penelope intervened. As expected, Vince laughed again while shaking his head, “That only shows you don't know your brother well”.Penelope's eyes widened as she glanced at Gabriel. Meanwhile, Gabriel watched his sister's reaction and saw her face turn pale. She must be nervous because Vince caught her off guard. To be honest, they were close when they were younger but slowly drifted apart when he decided to live alone. Although they were still calling each other from time to time, the huge gap was visible, especially when Georgina started poking her nose in his business. That woman had been a headache in the family after she met Elizabeth. Their parents just stayed quiet and never interfered with her friendship because Elizabeth was the
The creases on Gabriel's forehead deepened. He didn't ask what he meant but his face probably says it all because his cousin immediately continued. “Your former secretary is spreading that she's the woman you're dating, correct?” Vince inquired. Gabriel glanced at Penelope and saw her guilty expression. His lips pressed into a thin line as he shifted his gaze back to his cousin. “I don't like where this is going,” he stated. Not that he didn't understand what his cousin was trying to say. He fully understood that he wanted to go around and hang out with Sabrina to let people see that Janette was fake and there was a woman they didn't know was close with the family. It was like a soft lunch, in the new generation term. However, Gabriel was not sure if Sabrina would be happy about that. Knowing that she was so against revealing their relationship in the public, his wife will certainly get mad at him once she learned Vince's plan.“Hear me out,” Vince responded. “This is not about
“Did George already leave?” Gabriel asked one of his trusted servants. “Yes, Young Master. He brought all his clothes,” the servant answered. Gabriel's jaw clenched. Too bad he lost a reliable man. But he didn't need a traitor in his turf so he needed to go. He was even being magnanimous for just throwing him out of his mansion. If it was other people, George would cease to exist at the moment. Nodding his head, “Good. Make sure you keep track of that traitor,” he said coldly. He went straight to the living room and sat on the sofa. As he waited for his visitors, he dialed Harold and told him he wouldn't be going to work. Just as he ended the call, one of his servants walked to him and informed him that the visitors had finally arrived. Straightening on his seat, Gabriel stared at the main door with a restrained expression as he watched his cousin enter the main door. “I was expecting a drastic change in here,” Vince commented while looking around the living room. But Gabriel
