Selena gazed at the surprised expression on Jin's face and felt the thrill rushing through her body. For the first time since everything happened, she felt in charge and above her enemies."What happened, cousin? You look shocked." Selena said."Where are the two marks?" Jin asked.Selena did not give a response, but she did enjoy making Jin look like a fool and having her cousin stupefied."What's going on there?" Mila shouted.She stood up from her seat and approached Selena and Jin. Then her eyes caught a glance of Selena's neck."What? How is this possible?" Mila stated.She thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. However, Mila's second gaze at Selena's neck confirmed her doubts."Aunt and cousin, why do you guys look pale? " Selena mockingly asked."It can't be possible. I was ther
"Sir?" Bob asked as he watched his young master space out.Gabriel did not react to his butler's call because his mind was too occupied with various thoughts."She's been bestowed to another alpha?" He angrily mumbled while staring at the monitor before picking up his phone and dialing Dan's number."Gab, what's up?""I found out that Selena has an alpha, and I need you to uncover who he is?" Gabriel stated with the outmost seriousness."Dude, you can't keep adding up my work. When do I get a vacation if your omega is going to take over my entire schedule?""Dan, not now! I need this information!" Gabriel firmly stated."Fine. You are the boss."Bob frowned after overhearing Gabriel and Dan's conversation. His young master investigating this issue was not pleasing to him since he had his reasons.
"Sir, how long are we going to be here? It seems like others are leaving, so are we not going to do the same?" Bob asked after most of the board members' cars had driven out of the parking lot."Mila, Jin, and Selena have not left the building yet. Something does not feel right. Let's wait a bit." Gabriel replied as the anxious feeling he felt kept growing.A while later, Jin came out of the door, approached her car, and got in. However, she did not drive away."Why isn't she leaving?" Gabriel mumbled as he watched Jin from his car's windshield.After five minutes passed, Selena came out the same way. As Selena approached her car, Jin started her vehicle engine."Damn it!" Gabriel screamed when his ears detected the engine sound.Without a second thought, he opened the car door, jumped out, and raced toward Selena."Sir, you don't have your mask on!" Bob yelled, but it was too late."Gabriel?" Selena mumbled when she saw him running toward her.Before she could say anything else, he gr
Bob stood quietly in consternation after Gabriel refused to answer his question. 'You are making it hard for me to keep my promise to your parents. When the master and madam were alive, the one job they gave me was to look after you if anything happened to them. But since Selena entered your life, all you've been doing is running into danger and acting irresponsibly with your safety.' Bob thought."Where is Selena?" Gabriel asked. His question finally broke the silence in the room. But it also made Bob angrier and more concerned. He grew frustrated over the fact that Gabriel still cared about Selena, even though he almost died because of her."She is asleep in your room?" Bob stiffly replied."That brat dared to take a nap while I am in such a condition because of her?" Gabriel stated, sounding a bit hurt and angry."I wish that was the case. However, it was doctor Lee who gave her sleeping pills to help calm her down because she was panicking, and he did not want the anxiety she was
"Ouch! Gabriel, it hurts." Selena softly cried as she struggled to free her hand from in his grip.The pain in her eyes made Gabriel's heart throb, and he released Selena's hand. He did not mean to hurt her. However, hearing about his parents' death brought back the dark side of him."How did you know about your aunt's involvement in my parents' death?" Gabriel questioned her.At that moment, he was striving to hold back his anger and suppressed the negative thought that was crowding his mind about Selena.Gabriel has never discussed his suspicions about Mila with Selena, nor did he give her a hint that linked his parents' death to her aunt. So the fact that Selena knew this information that he wasn't even sure about felt a bit off to Gabriel."It was on the night of the stalwart celebration. I overheard Mila's conversation with three men, and although I could not hear much
Selena's blatant alarm clock did not spare her a few minutes to sleep further. Once it was seven in the morning, the noisy ringtone began to scream at the phone's last volume through the speaker, and it had her tossing and turning in bed.She had set it the previous night to wake her up at seven o'clock for work since she was laying in bed at an early hour at that time. But Selena never expected that she would spend the hours that she intended for sleeping purposes on sobbing into her pillow over her and Gabriel's argument.The six rings caused Selena to angrily removed the quilt off her and had her out of bed."I wish I had one more hour of sleep, but my enemies are not sleeping at this moment, and I am not going to do the opposite." Selena mumbled as she scratched her hair and walked towards the bathroom.She stepped onto the cold tiles as she approached the bathtub. Without a second choice between
The Adler's company building was rowdy with rumors about their new CEO, and it only seemed to get more crazed as the second flew by.Selena hurriedly got out of the car the moment the driver pressed his foot on the brake pad and the vehicle came to a stop. She was trying to escape from the two bodyguards that were in the next car. However, not far behind her were Craig and Mathew closing in on her as they increased the speed of their movement.Selena abruptly stopped, and the men did the same. She stared at these gentlemen for a while with rage in her eye, yet they showed no emotion on their faces."Look, guys! I'm not exactly thrilled with the fact that you both won't stop following me, even though I am already at my company." Selena calmly said as she strived to keep her rage in check.Craig gazed at Mathew and his partner stared back at him, then they both focused their eyes on Selena.&nbs
"Sir, we are here." Bob announced once the vehicle ceased movement.Gabriel looked out the window and stared at the thousands of cameras. He then focused on the faces of the news crew before stepping out of the car."Who is that?" A male reporter asked."He looks like Ace." Another person said."Our former leader was an extremely handsome man, but I don't think he's invisible to aging. That boy is too young to be Ace." The camera guy stated."Yeah. Also, wasn't Ace reported to be dead?" A journalist questioned her colleagues."But we all know that no bodies got found, and there are still workers taking care of the mansion. Maybe the family got tired of living in the spotlight and decided to take a vacation." Another reporter said."What would you say about the pool of blood found in the house?" A gentleman asked."Wel
