"Janet, what are you doing here? Didn't the doctor say that your wound reopened, and you have to stay in the hospital for one more week?" Lily said in shock when she saw her workmate walking towards her.   "Oh well. What can I say? I can't bear staying that long away from the Villa, work, and you guys." Janet replied as she admired how clean the kitchen was.   "Did you tell our young master that you are coming home?"   "No."   "That means you took a taxi. You know sir could have sent the workers vehicle for you if you had told him."   "I saw the news about him revealing his identity, so I assumed that he would be busy. That's why I didn't want to bother him."   As Lily and Janet continued their discussion, some of the maids entered the kitchen, and they were shocked when they saw Janet.   "Look who finally decided to come home? We miss yo

'Three days! It has been three whole days and I haven't seen Gabriel nor have I had the chance to speak with him. At least he should tell me what I did wrong instead of ghosting me. Mathew informed me that he saved Janet's grandson, and I want to say thank you, but that's not possible now since he leaves the villa early and comes home late. I've tried various times to get into his room so we can talk, but his door is always locked each time.' Selena sadly thought. Her head remained rested on her office desk as she wallowed in self-pity about her and Gabriel's current situation. "Boss, here are the documents that you asked me to get." Rose said after staring at her boss for a while without Selena recognizing her presence. Selena slowly raised her head from on the desk, then depressingly stared at her secretary. "Oh, Rose, you are here?" Selena asked. "Yes, boss." Rose replied.

Under the brightness of the room bulbs, Gabriel and Selena's bare skin brushed against each other as their clothes lay scattered on the floor. Gabriel's masculine hands gently caressed the sensitive parts of her body, causing her to clutch onto the blanket as her toes flickered from the excitement. Gabriel's lips then delicately moved against her neck, and he nipped on her skin, leaving bite marks everywhere. Selena moaned a bit louder every time she felt Gabriel's warm lips against her body. When one of Selena's hands released the sheet, she grabbed onto his back with it, and the moment Gabriel's teeth bit into her skin, Selena's nail pinched into his flesh. "Did I hurt you?" He gently asked. "No, you did not." Selena said with a soft smile and tears in her eyes. Gabriel warmly smiled back at Selena before pressing his lips against hers and intensely kissing

The next morning, the villa was calm, and everything went on as usual. However, everyone that works within the walls of Gabriel could feel the change in both Selena and Gabriel.Breakfast was quieter than other mornings, and the way Selena and Gabriel avoided eye contact with each other was quite noticeable. "You all can leave." Gabriel commanded.No other words got spoken as the workers left Selena and Gabriel alone at the dining table.'What now?' Selena thought as she bit into her toast and pretended as though she was not bugged by how empty and quiet the room had become."I have assigned new bodyguards to protect you. I don't want what happened last night to happen again." Gabriel said."Why? Do you hate having sex with me that bad?" Selena mumbled."What? No! I am not referring to what we did last night. I fired them because they allowed you to get hurt!" "They did nothing. It was all my fault, and Mathew and Craig don't need to suffer for my error. So I don't need new bodygua

It took Selena a while to come through from the shock Gabriel's statement had caused her and seeing that he was not kidding made Selena even more confused. "You don't need to take responsibility for me. Okay, let's pretend like last night never happened and move on with our lives like before." Selena said. "Is that how you truly feel?" Gabriel asked. "Yes!" "I don't believe it, and I know you don't either." "So what, I may not feel that way, but I think it, and right now, I trust my mind more than my heart." She wished these words had never come out of her mouth. But Selena could not stop herself since she wanted Gabriel to hurt as much as she was suffering, and although Selena hated herself for feeling this way, she could not help it. "What's wrong with you? Last night happened, and I don't regret it." Gabriel said out of anger.&
