Sabrina stood at the last step of the stairs frozen. Her mind went blank upon seeing Anthon along with the legal team. “Miss Bennette, we invite you to the company for some questions,” Attorney Lucio, the M Corp’s legal team director. “W-what did I do?” she stammered. Although she knew the reason as to why they were there, she was in shock. Twenty four hours had not yet passed but they're already there to claim the payment. “Come with us. We’ll tell you once we're in the M Corp,” the attorney responded. Sabrina shook her head, “No. I already talked to Mr Mondragon” Anthon’s eyes darkened, “What? Did you seduce him because you know you don't have a way out?” Hearing his angry voice again, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her chest. She was not used to it as most of the time, Anthon stayed silent and just ignored her whenever there's a misunderstanding. Her eyes casted down as she clutched the hem of her shirt. “Get dressed and go with us,” Anthon ordered. Sa
Sabrina stared at the black flash drive with brows knitted together. Puzzled, she then looked back at Nathalia who raised her eyebrows on her as if challenging her. “Let's play the video inside, shall we?” Nathalia mused. One of the staff in the legal team took the zipped lock pouch and was about to pull out the usb inside. However, the door suddenly opened which made everyone stop and turn to whoever just entered the room. “Sir Gabriel..” all of them simultaneously greeted. Sabrina froze. Although she already expected him to come, her body still stiffened upon hearing his name. “Everyone please take a seat,” Harold requested. All of them joined her while she deliberately lowered her head. She was not really nervous with the accusation they were throwing at her but rather she was more afraid of Gabriel. She was not guilty of stealing, but if the CEO mentioned her contract, she was sure going to face charges. “Sab, are you okay?” Surprised, Sabrina flinched but immed
Sabrina immediately jolted up from her seat. “That's not mine!” she exclaimed, eyes widened in shock. “The evidence is already in front of everyone and you still have the audacity to deny it?” Nathalia raised her eyebrows, “Are you saying those pictures are not you? Who is it then? Your twin?” she said mockingly.She curled her fingers, nails dug her palms. Her breathing became heavy as she threw Nathalia a sharp look. “Just admit it so we can go back to work,” Anthon chimed in, “Stop wasting our time” Anger was creeping under her skin. She cannot believe that they could be that low just to drag her under the mud. Shutting her eyes tightly, she expanded her lungs and released a heavy breath. “We should call the cops now and take this scheming woman to jail, Sir Gabriel. I’m afraid she will find a way to escape..” Nathalia stated meaningguly which caught Gabriel’s attention. “Sabrina..” Tomas called her softly. She felt him take her hand again, assuring her that she was not al
Gabriel’s jaw clenched as he saw how Sabrina flinched after he mentioned her name. He could see how scared she was to him and he hated it. “I’ll stay here with her,” Tomas announced. His gaze darted to the old man he respected a lot and did not say anything. Meanwhile, the two scums halted from leaving the room and quickly turned around to face him. “You can’t stay here!” the scumbag of a manager exclaimed as if he’s the one who makes the rule. Gabriel's blue orbs darkened as he glared at Sabrina’s ex boyfriend. He was wondering what she saw in him when everything about him was trash. “You don’t have a say here, Anthon. Don’t forget that I was the one who brought you here! It means I can also kick you out if I want to!!” Tomas warned him furiously. However, the scumbag laughed which made Gabriel’s blood boil. He clenched his fists and was ready to punch that disgusting face any second. “Dream on! I have a position now so you can’t threaten me with that anymore,” Anthon
Sabrina almost fainted at the scene. He didn’t do that! Her eyes went round as she glared at him. However, Gabriel just flashed her an amused smile before giving his attention back to her father. “Shouldn't we discuss this in my home?” Tomas said in a calm and polite tone. Sabrina's body straightened when she found her father's gaze. She was pretty sure he's going to ask a lot of questions and she was not ready to tell him what happened that night. Twisting her lips, she lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. “I'm really planning to meet you outside to talk about this. I'm just waiting for your daughter's decision..” Gabriel trailed off. As soon as he said it, Sabrina could feel her father's stares. However, she didn't move, scared to see his reaction. He knew how badly she wanted to marry Anthon. And for him to learn she's suddenly married to another guy, moreover to their new boss must have shocked him to the core. “I will be pleased if you join us for dinner later
“Arrest?” Sabrina stiffened. The chief office stepped closer along with the other. “We received a complaint and said that Miss Sabrina Bennette had stolen some confidential documents from the company. We’re here to interrogate the suspect and investigate what happened”Subconsciously, Sabrina looked at Gabriel. She nearly had a heart attack as it was the very first time she had a face-to-face with the officers. She was a good citizen and never broke any rules, never did she even receive a ticket for any road violation as she always made sure to drive safely and accordingly. “Who called you?” Gabriel queried.Sabrina turned to him and saw his thick eyebrows were deeply furrowed. His blue eyes were somehow a little darker than usual while his sharp jaw hardened. Her body then straightened as she felt his palm gently rested on the small of her back.“A woman named Nathalia Smith called us and said it’s an urgent case,” the chief officer responded. Just then, Nathalia came into the pi
Nathalia quickly looked at Sabrina and laughed haughtily. “Your charm didn’t work to the CEO,” she chuckled. Her eyes sparkled in delight but instantly it wiped away when Gabriel’s men went to her and grabbed her by the arms. “W-what are you doing?!” She asked, panicking. “Miss Smith, you need to go with us,” the chief officer stated nonchalantly. “No! Why are you taking me? It's not me! That woman is the culprit! Let go!” She screeched. “Nathalia!” Anthon screamed in panic. He then walked to Gabriel and pointed at Sabrina. “Are you out of your mind?! That freak was the one they should capture, not my fiancèe!”Sabrina’s heart throbbed. Anton must’ve loved Nathalia so much that he did not care about his position and talked that way to his boss.“Mr Fuego,” Harold called him in a warning tone. It was as if he was splashed by a bucket of ice cold water, Anthon’s face instantly turned pale upon realizing what he had done. “I’m sorry, Sir Gabriel,” he muttered as he lowered his he
Gabriel's jaw clenched as he stared sharply at Sabrina. “No?” he repeated. Sabrina briefly nodded. Gabriel’s thick eyebrows deeply furrowed as he stared at her intently. “You want to keep your ex working here?” His voice was critical. “Yes,” She answered curtly. His eyes turned into a slit whilst his blue orbs were getting darker in shade. He didn’t like her answer. That guy deserved nothing but to rot in jail. He used her! He took advantage of her innocence and then crashed her! Gabriel's blood was boiling as he thought about it and he wondered why Sabrina didn’t want to put him to his rightful place. ‘Don’t tell me she was still hoping they would get back together?’ That thought crossed his mind and it instantly put him in a very bad mood. “You’re not going to punish the guy who used and humiliated you?” His voice was critical. He saw how her eyes flickered but she kept mum and looked everywhere but him. The room fell silent as no one spoke between them. Sabrina seemed to
“No way!” Elizabeth screamed. Furiously, she walked towards them and pulled Sabrina’s hair.“Ouch!” Sabrina was surprised at the attack. She was not expecting it as she was still in trance by Gabriel’s sudden introduction of her. “Elizabeth!” Joseph's voice thundered. Meanwhile, Gabriel went between them and grip the woman’s wrist tightly causing her to squeal in pain and finally let go of Sabrina’s hand. “Get the fvck out of here before I could hurt you!” Gabriel roared as he wrapped his arms around Sabrina securely. “Gab! Why are you doing this?! I’m your fiancèe!” Elizabeth exclaimed. “Kick that slut out of here quick!” “Eli! Enough!” Joseph held her sister’s arms to stop her from coming to her. Sabrina’s mind was in haze. She was confused at the sudden turn of events. Wasn’t Elizabeth just treating her like a ghost earlier? Why did her attention focus on her all of a sudden?!“You know what I’m capable of doing when I’m mad, Joseph,” Gabriel said in a warning tone. “Let’s
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 as if he could read her mind. Frowning, 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 not expect the woman to come over made her feel a little relieved. . .for some reason. “I’m here to visit you, what else?” the woman smiled flirtatiously, “I hope you don't mind that I brought my friends as well,” she added then looked at her three friends behind her and winked at them. Sabrina’s forehead creased. It was already overwhelming for her to meet Joseph unexpectedly and upon seeing there were more strange people sud
“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 aro
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
