I arrived at the apartment just before midnight. From a distance, I could already see the silhouette of Gabriel’s black car parked in front of the building. Its headlights were still dimly glowing, and my heart immediately began to race.

I knew he was inside. I knew he was waiting for me.

And I knew that this time, there would be no warm embrace like before.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself before stepping into the lobby. The sound of my heels echoed across the marble floor, every step like a reflection of the guilt reverberating in my head. I pressed the elevator button, and while waiting, David’s face flashed in my mind, his words, his gaze, his confident promise.

But that image quickly faded, replaced by Gabriel’s face—his cold eyes, the sharp look he always gave me whenever I crossed the invisible boundaries he had set.

The elevator opened with a soft chime, and I stepped inside, staring at my reflection on the metal wall. My ivory dress was now wrinkled, my hair a litt

  • Alpha Daddy, My Se(X)cret Desire   Chapter 33

    The ride back to Gabriel's apartment was thick with silence. It wasn't a comfortable silence, but one vibrating with what had transpired in the office and the weight of the performance we were to put on tomorrow. I sat beside him, my fingers unconsciously stroking the silk scarf around my neck, feeling the smooth texture that hid our secret. Gabriel glanced at me occasionally, his gaze heavy and contemplative, before returning his focus to the headlit road.Once the car stopped in the apartment's basement, he got out swiftly, coming around to open my door. A gesture of courtesy that felt automatic, yet his hand quickly found the small of my back as I stood, a brief touch laden with meaning before we walked to the elevator.The door to his apartment opened with a quiet beep. The moment we were inside and the door locked, a nearly inaudible sigh of relief escaped Gabriel's lips. He tossed his keys into a silver tray near the door, the sound echoing in the quiet space."Finally," he murm

    A few moments later, we were still lying on the thick carpet, my body limp and satisfied in Gabriel's embrace. The chill from the marble floor seeped up through the carpet, a stark contrast to the searing warmth of his skin. I could feel the strong, steady beat of his heart against my back, gradually returning to its normal rhythm.He was the first to move. With a low groan, he kissed my shoulder, an almost unconscious gesture before pulling away. The cold air instantly replaced his warmth. I heard the rustle of fabric as Gabriel put his clothes back on."I'll order food. We'll eat here," he said, his voice already returned to its flat, commanding tone, though slightly hoarse.He was standing now, pulling on his trousers and buttoning his shirt with an efficiency that left me in awe. He looked like himself again, the authoritative CEO.I nodded, too overwhelmed to speak. I grabbed my dress and walked slowly to the private bathroom attached to his study. The moment I turned on the ligh

    The door locked with a soft 'click'. I was still sitting on the sofa, the shame from the incident with Riana fresh in my mind.Gabriel didn't look at me immediately. He walked to his desk and placed his phone down."Gabriel?" I said.He turned. His face was no longer the cold CEO's mask. It was the face of a roused Alpha. Without a word, his hand went to his tie, loosening it with a single fluid motion and tossing it onto a chair. Then, his deft fingers began undoing the buttons of his shirt, one by one, revealing the defined lines of his abdomen and a chest marked with old scars.I gaped, my heart pounding in my throat. "What are you doing?"He didn't answer. He just advanced, his steps silent and menacing like a predator's. The late afternoon light streaming from the window behind him cast a large, dominating silhouette that filled the room."Gabriel, please..." I pleaded, scooting back until my back pressed against the soft cushions of the sofa. "Not... not here."He finally stoppe

    I was straightening my slightly disheveled shirt when suddenly, a shadow moved in the slightly open door. I immediately froze in shock.A woman in a neat business suit, likely Gabriel's personal assistant, stood frozen there. Her eyes were wide, her face pale. In her hands was a stack of files.Riana. She was one of the few people in this company I had seen a few times at official events, years ago. In her eyes, I was now and forever Sera, Gabriel's stepdaughter.I froze, the blood seemingly draining from my face. It felt like being doused with ice water."This isn't what it looks like," I said, my voice hoarse and unconvincing, sounding utterly foolish even to my own ears.She immediately lowered her head, her gaze quickly dropping to the floor, trying to erase the expression of shock and perhaps a hint of disgust that had been on her face moments before."My apologies, Mr. Gabriel. I only intended to place the quarterly reports on your desk," she said in a flat, professional tone, t

  • Alpha Daddy, My Se(X)cret Desire   Chapter 29

    The next day, the decision to go with Gabriel to his workplace felt like the only logical choice. The alternative was to spend the day alone in his luxurious apartment that felt like a marble-clad prison, obsessing over David, my uncle, and all the threats out there. At least, amidst the bustle of his business, I could be a distraction for myself.Gabriel didn't speak much during the drive. He wore a gray three-piece suit that seemed custom-made to perfectly cloak every line of his muscular frame. His hair, usually slightly messy, was now neatly styled, adding to his formidable and impenetrable aura.Sitting beside him in the nearly silent car, I secretly observed him. A certain power radiated from him, a kind of gravitational field that drew me, and seemingly everyone around him, in and made us wary. He was handsome, of course. That was an indisputable fact.The car glided smoothly into a private basement area of a magnificent skyscraper. As the door opened, Gabriel's aura completely

    After that, I got a message from David. My phone vibrated on the bedside table.David: Hey, wanna meet up tonight? Coffee or drinks? How about it?I was so startled. I was still lying in Gabriel's embrace, his warm skin against mine, his breath just beginning to even out. Unconsciously, my body tensed.Gabriel felt it immediately. "What's wrong?" he murmured, his voice still hoarse and heavy, but already alert.He lifted his head, his sharp eyes catching my changed expression. Without asking, he took the phone from my stiff grip. I saw his jaw harden as he read the message."Who is he?" he asked, his voice flat and dangerous."David. Just a friend. You know him.""There's no such thing as 'just' a friend," he cut in coldly. He tossed my phone back onto the sheets as if it were disgusting. "You're not going."My anger, always easily ignited by his possessiveness, flared. "He's just a normal friend who wants to meet up!""Quiet." He sat up, his large body blocking the light from the win
