“Stop right there, Isla.” Gabriel yelled and his voice filled the quiet room.

She stopped walking and she stiffened. When she turned, her eyes were filled with anger. Her chest rose and fell as if she had been holding back too much for too long.

“Gabriel, I can’t do this with you any longer,” she said as her voice trembled. “We need to end this now. I want a divorce.”

He moved forward with deliberate steps until he was standing directly in front of her. His eyes were cold, as if that could make her change her mind.

“Do I need to remind you,” he said in a low, threatening tone, “that your father’s career will suffer if you even dare to move forward with this divorce?”

Isla's brows furrowed with shock written across her face. “What are you talking about, Gabriel?”

His hands remained tucked neatly inside the pockets of his tailored trousers, his posture straight and proud.

“Exactly what I said,” he replied calmly.

“You can’t do that!” she said as her fists clenched tightly at

    “What happened to my father, Stone?” Gabriel’s voice came out low and strained as his eyes took in the scene before him. John and Gladys lay on two separate hospital beds, placed side by side in the same private room. The soft beeping of heart monitors filled the air, steady but frightening. Tubes were attached to John’s body, more than Gladys had. Machines surrounded him, quietly doing the work his body was struggling to do on its own. Seeing his father like this, with bandages all around his head made something tighten painfully in Gabriel’s chest. “They were kidnapped,” Stone said calmly, but his eyes were serious. “Your father was badly injured.” Gabriel clenched his jaw. “I believe Wyatt was deeply involved,” Stone continued. “We will know the full truth once your father is strong enough to speak clearly.” Gabriel closed his eyes. For a few seconds, he said nothing. He simply stood there, breathing slowly, trying to steady himself. When he opened his eyes again, he walke

    Chuckle. Chuckle. Chuckle. That was all John did. The sound echoed softly inside the large, cold room, bouncing off the bare walls and tiled floor. The room smelled of damp concrete, dried blood, and something more disgusting. John and Gladys sat on the floor, their backs pressed against the wall. Their hands were tightly bound behind them, and their legs were tied together with thick rope. There was no way out. Even the small windows were tightly sealed up. The white shirt John wore was no longer white. It was soaked with dried blood that had darkened into a deep red. His lips were split, his face bruised, and blood still leaked slowly from the corner of his mouth. Yet, even in this broken state, he still looked strikingly handsome. And he was laughing as if he had not been tortured enough. It was a dry, mocking chuckle, filled with pain and defiance. “You know you are not funny, John,” a middle-aged woman with chestnut short hair and blue eyes snapped angrily. She stood

    “The funds will be disbursed into your company’s account today,” Gabriel said calmly as he sipped his coffee. “I have already spoken to three contractors, including your father. They will contact your secretary and book appointments before the end of today.” Isla listened quietly as they ate breakfast together. The dining room was peaceful, but her heart was not. Everything Gabriel was saying sounded good—too good. Things were moving very fast, and that scared her. She forced a small smile so he wouldn’t notice her fear. It had been one full week since the attack at the mall. Miss Adams still had not woken up. Every morning, Isla prayed for her, and every night, she cried silently. No matter what anyone said, she blamed herself. If she had not gone to the mall that day, Miss Adams would not be lying in a hospital bed, fighting for her life. Then there was Desmond. The little boy resumed school that morning. Isla watched him leave the house with his bag, his lunch box, and two bo

    Gabriel smiled gently at Desmond and crouched slightly so he was at the boy’s level. “Little man,” he said softly, keeping his voice calm and friendly, “can I borrow your wristwatch for just a moment?” His tone was warm and gentle, and it made Desmond relax even more. The boy trusted him without question. “Yes,” Desmond replied happily. “You can have it if you want.” He stretched his small arm forward without hesitation, offering the watch. Gabriel felt something tighten in his chest. He gently brushed the boy’s hair with his fingers before carefully unbuckling the strap. As soon as the watch slipped off Desmond’s wrist, Gabriel straightened up. Without saying another word, he turned and walked out of the room. Stone followed immediately. Isla froze in confusion. Her smile faded as she watched them leave so suddenly. She didn’t understand what was happening, but the tension in Gabriel’s body scared her. Diana noticed her daughter’s expression, but she couldn’t explain anythi

    Gabriel stepped back, shaking his head again and again. “No… no… no.” His voice was low but filled with panic. His breaths grew deeper and faster. He fumbled for his phone and quickly tapped on the screen with shaky fingers. “Stone,” he said the moment the call connected, “we have a very sensitive situation. I need you to station men at Isla’s room door right now. Fully armed men. And make sure the little boy stays exactly where he is. I’m coming now.” He ended the call immediately. Diana stared at him with growing fear. Her face turned pale. “Gabriel… you’re scaring me.” Gabriel pushed his phone into his pocket and turned to her. His eyes were sharp but unsettled. “Diana,” he said carefully, “I don’t believe what you said about me having a twin brother. But… if I show you something—someone—you might understand why I can’t ignore your words.” He leaned closer. “Please. Come with me.” He didn’t wait for her reply. He gently took her by the arm and led her toward the hospital ent
